Here, Ye Gengyi and Abbot Shi Lian came to the intersection going down the mountain.
The night wind blows through the gaps in the branches and leaves.
Looking into the distance, you can see steep cliffs, rugged forests, and a dark sea that is the same color as the sky that seems to be touchable but out of reach.
Abbot Shi Lian has long been accustomed to the scenery here.
But now it seems that there is a different kind of mood.
He was silently reflecting on himself, and a thought suddenly came to his mind, and he turned to look at Ye Gengyi:
"Donor, you..."
"There is a hidden grid behind the tree about five and a half steps away at the pace of an adult on the west side of the wing."
Ye Gengzhi's straightforward words successfully made Abbot Shi Lian's squinted eyes open.
He pondered for a long time and said:
"It seems that I still can't hide it from you..."
Does this admit it?
Ye Gengyi was slightly surprised, but this did not affect the rhythm of his questions, "Where is the body?"
Abbot Shi Lian did not hide anything and said: "There is a warehouse behind the Zen room of the temple. I prayed and chanted sutras for her for three days and prepared to bury her in the mountains early tomorrow morning."
"You mentioned Monk Chuanjiu's mother and your energy in adopting children before," Ye Gengyi asked: "So the person who died..."
"Yes, it was his mother who abandoned Chuanjiu in front of the temple 18 years ago and left alone."
Abbot Shi Lian shook his head and sighed, "She came to visit unexpectedly in the evening three days ago, hoping that I would return her son to her. She also said that in fact, she secretly comes to the temple every year to burn incense and watch her son's growth from a distance..."
"Sorry to interrupt."
Ye Gengyi said calmly: "I'm not interested in this side of the story. If you are willing to tell me, please go to the police yourself later, okay?"
"Well……"
Abbot Shi Lian choked and looked sideways at the side room. After being silent for a long time, he said with some meaning: "Then they..."
"Preconceived notions are hard to change. I don't think Mr. Mori and the others would deliberately check the tatami under the glass display case after listening to your previous explanation. Of course..."
Ye Gengyi thought for a moment, "If you are willing to go down the mountain together and tell them the story on the way, I have no problem with it, but I don't want to waste time here."
"Excuse me……"
Abbot Shi Lian's eyes showed a hint of confusion, "Excuse me, why don't you just tell your companions what you know?"
"It doesn't matter if there is only Mr. Maori. His ideological awareness is no worse than yours, Master. The key is those two children. They are too young and have strong self-esteem. They always see through the truth before them. They will be constantly harassed on the way back. It’s too troublesome to ask endless questions,” Ye Gengyi said.
Caring for future generations? Is it such a simple reason?
This cold-faced young man seems to be a very nice person...
Abbot Shi Lian was startled again, because he found that he had never chatted with a person of Ye Gengyi's character in his life, and then asked curiously: "Donor, if I didn't admit it just now, what should you do? "
"Oh, it's nothing. It's just that Master, you like to wear women's clothing. Tomorrow, it will go viral on famous forums on the Internet. Of course, Master, you may not care about it due to your level, but the tombstone of your master, your master's master, and this Shengyue Temple will definitely become a good tourist spot. Master Su Shi, you should be embarrassed to be a monk anymore. As for Chuanjiu..."

Ye Geng tilted his head and gestured to the side room, "Forgive me for speaking more bluntly, but he seems to be very irresponsible. I don't think he can handle this kind of chaos, well..."Shocking Secret" , it must have shattered your three views, Abbot Shi Lian actually did such a thing in the wing. What do you think of this title?"
You...you are the devil from hell, right? !
"Cough cough cough cough..."
Abbot Shi Lian did not hold back and immediately broke the power.
"Oh, by the way," Ye Gengyi added: "I hope you won't have any regrets about what I just said. In fact, five minutes ago, I said, 'Abbot, take a step to speak.' , and turned on the recording function on the mobile phone..."
Abbot Shi Lian: "..."
If you can, don't edit...
Of course, he didn't dare to say these words, because the man in front of him who could say these words without changing his expression was really terrifying...
…
Later, Abbot Shi Lian sent Chuanjiu to the Zen room in the temple to chant sutras.
Under the shocked gazes of Kogoro Mouri, Heiji Hattori and Conan, he moved away the mysterious glass display case, revealing the blood stains covered on the tatami.
The three of them felt that their inherent concepts had been impacted.
"It's actually such a cover-up..." Hattori Heiji muttered.
"That's right..." Mouri Kogoro said in hindsight, "Because of the preconception that as long as the Buddha statue is moved away, the tatami floor under the glass display cabinet can be seen, so no one will bother to move the glass display cabinet... …”
"But why?"
Conan's face was full of depression, "Grandpa Abbot, are you ready to surrender because of your uneasy conscience?"
Re-enacting the method of disappearing the body to call them back, and then at this juncture when a few people were about to give up looking for clues, they actually admitted it...
He really couldn't figure out what kind of show the other party was acting in?
"Hey! Why did you kill someone, and what happened to that corpse just now...Wait a minute!"
Mouri Kogoro shouted in a loud voice: "Could it be that you sent away the little monk Chuanjiu for some other purpose?"
"Yes, because I don't want Chuanjiu to hear what I said next," Abbot Shi Lian nodded slightly and explained slowly: "However, I did not kill the female pilgrim myself..."
"It's getting very late." Ye Gengyi urged outside the door.
"yes……"
Abbot Shi Lian sighed silently, then turned to Mouri Kogoro and the others and said, "Anyway, I hope you will escort me to the police station now. If you want to know anything, just tell me on the way."
…
A group of people went down the mountain.
Facing the doubtful looks cast by the three detectives headed by Conan and Hattori Heiji.
Abbot Shi Lian did not hide anything and told the story that the female pilgrim who died in the wing was Chuanjiu's biological mother.
This time, Ye Gengyi did not interrupt him again.
It turned out that Chuanjiu's mother said that she would come to see her son every year.
Abbot Shi Lian was indeed moved with compassion, but he could not completely trust this woman who abandoned her own son 18 years ago.
So, he deliberately asked Chuanjiu to bring photos of all the monks who had practiced in the temple for more than ten years.
As expected, the woman couldn't find out which son her son was in the photo, and she didn't even look at Chuanjiu, who had been comforting her.
Abbot Shi Lian watched this scene from the side, and was naturally angry. He couldn't help scolding the woman for her hypocrisy, and asked her to think calmly in the wing alone tonight about her abandoned son 18 years ago. The sadness.
"Who knew, she committed suicide the next day..."
Abbot Shi Lian pulled his thoughts out of his memories and said guiltily:
"It would be too cruel to let Chuanjiu know about this matter. I don't know if the first thought in my mind at that time was to avoid guilt, so I used this method."
"Isn't it right?"
Mouri Kogoro frowned, "The time was so urgent at that time, where did you find a few stickers with the same color as the tatami mats on the floor?"
"The abbot didn't come up with this method, he just used it..."
Hattori Heiji's half-moon eyes always felt like a group of people were chatting on the fifth floor. This stupid uncle himself was still on the first floor and explained:
"It should have been done by a monk who left the temple two months ago to cover up wine stains and traces of burns from cigarette butts."
"Yeah, I was just wondering why I didn't see those stains when I came here for the first time, but they appeared directly in the center of the room just now." Conan said boredly, holding his big head in both hands.
"Yes, because the truth in reality is sometimes not as complicated as we imagine..."
Abbot Shilian looked at Mouri Kogoro, then glanced at Ye Gengyi, and sighed softly: "I have committed such a crime, and I may not be qualified to preach anymore, but if you will continue to use words in the future, Detectives who come to force people to submit, please keep this in mind. What people say is like a blade. If used improperly, it will become a deadly weapon. You must put yourself in the other person's perspective, no matter what the other person is. It’s the same for everyone…”
What about me?
Ye Geng glanced sideways, "Don't worry, Abbot Shi Lian, although you hid the body and tried to conceal the truth, you still have a reason for it. In addition, there is a plot to surrender, so the police will not embarrass you too much. They will definitely send you again later." When people go to the wing to inspect and collect evidence, as long as you don’t hide it, the matter will not be reported."
Abbot Shi Lian: "..."
I always feel like this young man didn’t listen to my advice...
Conan: "..."
Hattori Heiji:"……"
That's right, I was so busy discussing motives and methods that I actually forgot where the disappeared body was hidden...
Maori Kogoro:"……"
The incident was resolved satisfactorily, and I drank two cans of beer after returning...
