Chapter 121 The Fog Tengu Case Closed

Amuro Tooru fooled the night patrol monk by claiming he needed to get up in the middle of the night, while Akutagawa Hiko took the opportunity to bring Conan back to their room.

Waiting quietly.

Conan is waiting for Amuro Tooru to return, while Akutagawa Hiko is waiting for a murder to occur.

The next day, the sun shone brightly. The sunshine after the rain always has a comforting feel. Apart from Kogoro Mouri screaming in fright from his daughter's prank the night before, everything was calm.

However, the young monks looked like they hadn't slept well.

Mu Nian and Tun Nian were frightened by Kogoro Mouri's screams last night. Xiu Nian said he patrolled the night and studied until very late.

Conan yawned and scratched his head in confusion: "Tan, where did Master Abbot and Master Kuan Nian go? I haven't seen them."

Having not slept all night, Tun Nian seemed to have caught Conan's yawn and yawned as well: "Kuan Nian didn't see Master this morning and is looking for him now, but don't worry, maybe Master is hiding somewhere drinking."

Mu Nian wanted to yawn too, but a scream made her choke on her words, leaving her feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Xiu Nian recognized the voice as coming from the solitary confinement room, and it was Kuan Nian, who was on her way to find the old monk.

Before Amuro Tooru could speak, he felt three gusts of wind rise up on the spot, and when he looked closely, he saw that only two girls remained of their group.

The two girls remained where they were, actually taking out their phones.

Upon arriving at the solitary confinement cell, the two girls followed Kuan Nian's gaze, who was frozen in place, and looked up. As they screamed, two numbers that had been prepared beforehand were dialed: one to call the police and the other to call an ambulance, with a clear division of labor.

Although the old monk looked like he was already dead, an ambulance still needed to be called.

When Inspector Megure arrived, he saw that there were quite a few people at the scene, but it was surprisingly well-organized. Seeing that both of his younger brothers were there, he felt much more at ease.

After much effort from the police officers, Inspector Megure reached the exact same conclusion as two years ago: the old monk had committed suicide.

Just as I was about to discuss this with my younger brother to boost my confidence, I noticed that four of the six people who had come to the temple for the night were stroking their chins, looking thoughtful.

However, Kogoro Mouri seems a bit like a filler. Considering how unreliable this guy is when he doesn't enter that special sleeping state, even Conan at his feet seems more like a detective at this moment.

However, judging from Akutagawa's expression, things don't seem to be that simple.

"Brother Akutagawa, what do you think of this matter?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Inspector Megure felt a very strong gaze, exactly the same as when he was being stared at by his superior.

However, when he turned to look for that gaze, he could no longer feel it.

Upon hearing Inspector Megure's question, Akutagawa Hiko stopped pondering, casually caught a cherry blossom falling from the wall, and replied, "Inspector Megure, there's definitely something fishy about this."

Based on the intelligence and analysis from last night, Amuro Tooru roughly determined that the murderer who killed the old monk was among these four young monks, but he was not quite sure which one it was.

His true identity is a police officer. Although he doesn't handle investigations, if he were to analyze things carefully, he would be able to direct his subordinates to arrest people and conduct searches by now. Every crime leaves traces, and no murderer can withstand their search methods.

However, he is just a detective apprentice right now. Even if he had a suspect but no evidence of the murder, he couldn't just arrest him.

Just as Amuro Tooru was secretly analyzing the situation, he saw Akutagawa Hiko walk towards the smallest monk named Shunen: "Master Shunen, you said you were studying until three o'clock last night, right?"

Xiu Nian was a little nervous at the detective's approach: "Yes, yes, that's why I'm so listless tonight."

Akutagawa Hiko nodded: "Then you must have noticed that scream last night, right? Around two o'clock. You should know who it was, right? The other three masters also know."

Xiu Nian's forehead began to break out in a cold sweat. Looking at this group of people, she felt that Xiao Lan, who was afraid of ghosts, was more likely to be the one: "Of course I know, it's Miss Lan."

Seeing Akutagawa Hiko's meaningful expression, the expressions of the others also changed abruptly. Xiu Nian quickly corrected herself, saying, "Ah, it should be Sonoko-san. The girl's scream sounded too much like it. I must have misheard."

Akutagawa clapped his hands: "It seems that everything is clear now. Today's case and the case two years ago were not suicides. The difference is that today's victim is the murderer from two years ago."

Next, Akutagawa Hiko began to explain the method of murder in this case.

Last night, after strangling the old monk, Xiu Nian moved him to this room, placed him on the kayak, covered him with plastic sheeting, sealed the door gaps with tape, and then crawled out through the small window.

Then, tape was applied to the gaps on the back of the cut wooden planks to draw water from the waterfall outside into the confinement cell.

"Look, there are still a lot of cherry blossom petals stuck to this wooden board. They washed down from the mountain. Although the waterproofing on these walls is very good, there are still water stains and cherry blossom petals."

After Inspector Megure and the others understood the process, Akutagawa continued with his spoilers.

Once the water is deep enough, the old monk can be hung on the crossbeam, and then run out through the skylight.

"But how do we get rid of all this water?"

Inspector Megure is definitely a great confidant; Conan only needs to know the answer, and he can quickly fill in the missing details.

I won't support them at all.

"All you need is the axe left at the scene. This cell is about ten meters high. Just use the axe to make a small opening in the window, and you'll create enough force to lift a truck."

Akutagawa Hiko stared intently at Hidenen: "The body was discovered around 8 a.m. this morning. You met up with us a few minutes earlier. The cleanup and aftermath will take time, and it will take about six hours to fill the water tank."

"In other words, you were still in this noisy, water-filled solitary confinement cell when that scream rang out."

Xiu Nian was on the verge of a breakdown, but still made a last-ditch effort: "What evidence do you have?!"

There is evidence, of course, and quite a bit if you search carefully, but to subdue this young man, one is enough.

Conan came running over. While Akutagawa Hikaru was making his deductions, he had taken on a mission to find evidence outside.

He naturally wouldn't refuse. It was a good opportunity to enjoy the fun of deduction on his own while watching, instead of being spoiled by Akutagawa Hiko before he could even figure out the plot.

Akutagawa took the wooden board covered in tape. Even through the outer bag, he could see the fingerprints on the tape: "Inspector Megure, these are the murderer's fingerprints."
