After hearing Kimura Toru's words, the old criminal's expression froze again.
Afterwards, he went out with the acting village chief to ask if anyone would come to the shrine in the next few days and to see if there were any corpses inside.
If no one paid attention in the past few days, maybe the criminal did it while no one was paying attention in the past few days. As for how to avoid being discovered, he may have used some tricks, but at least he was able to advance within the logic.
The result disappointed him. In the next few days, people came to the shrine to pay homage to the missing village chief, but none of them noticed anything strange on the wall at that time.
Combined with the testimony of Tang Ze and others that they did not see the corpse this morning, there is really no way to explain the corpse on the wall.
"Is the corpse on the wall really the hidden god?" The young criminal said with a trembling tone: "This is simply not something humans can do!"
"Do not be silly!"
The old criminal looked at his junior's dissatisfied look and couldn't help but scolded: "We are criminals, don't say such nonsense!
Instead of thinking about the possibilities of those gods and ghosts, it is better to think about reality a little bit outrageous."
"Outrageous...something...?"
That was unusual, after all, the shrine was built against a mountain, and there was only a slight gap between the wall and the mountain.
So I had to ask the village chief of Shenyin to appear and use this as an excuse to incite the villagers.
When the young criminal heard what his senior said, he had a look of astonishment on his face, "What do you mean?"
"Out there." Tang Ze called out very slowly, pressing his palms under the tree vines on the left with a calm expression: "It seems that it is what you think."
The old criminal looked at the two men and said, "You two must have retreated back and forth before. Maybe there is no difference between looking at the wall from the window and retreating into the shrine to face the wall directly, right?"
Having said that, Conan asked the forensic examiner next to him for a hammer and shovel. He first smashed the ground next to the wall, then dug with the shovel and saw that there was not a single horizontal log buried in the stone wall.
"First of all, the ones who don't have the keys are not suspicious. Secondly, you didn't find anything in the cave."
When everyone looked at the cave, they were frightened by the scene in the cave.
"Yes, and it is possible to make the corpse appear under the wall in a short period of time." Tang Ze nodded.
Conan said that he left the cave and pointed the flashlight at the rock wall next to him: "The environment outside the cave is very poor, and the surface is very sharp.
After all, the village chief signed the contract privately. If I were alive or missing, the land acquisition company would not be able to shift the responsibility to the village chief.
"Let him speak louder." Conan reminded him after hearing Tangze's complaints: "It will be a bad fruit for the villagers to hear him."
It does not mean that the murderer can be found by simply conducting DNA analysis on the person who has the key and the blood stains under the wall.
This Luther Ai, who had never met Luther before.
"He...he means..." The young criminal also realized something at that moment, and said without any trembling in his tone.
Luther also nodded in agreement.
The old criminal said: "Although this is very troublesome, at least it is in line with realistic logic."
That must be the case, that case will become a truly perfect crime, and the legend of the hidden god in that village will become a reality.
"It must be divine punishment!"
Luther tore off a piece of paper from under the notebook he carried with him, drew a mask and hands on it, and then turned it over to face the old criminal: "This wall is just turned 180 degrees.
In the past, as long as the disappearance of the missing person was pushed to Shenyin, no one would continue to investigate further.
In order to cover up the truth, these people would say that the escaped people were possessed by ghosts, and then kill them.
The old criminal went to the village chief and asked me to gather the people who didn't have the keys to the shrine, and he quickly identified the youngest suspect in this case.
"If that's the case, then maybe there's no hole in front of it?" the old criminal said with confidence.
"But how are you going to open that rock wall?" The old criminal asked: "Is there no mechanism under the wall?"
Mainly because even if we talked about it, two people would probably believe it, so we just talked about it.
"It's not bad that I wanted to use the village chief's ability to create a hidden god, and finally the corpse appeared."
Some of the tree roots that spread up from the bottom of the rock wall fell off for no apparent reason.
The mechanism is very complicated. As long as the bottom of the wall is lowered a little, it can be used as an axis, and then the wall can be rotated simultaneously.
At worst, I had difficulty escaping from this place and wanted to start all over again.
When Conan said that, he turned on the flashlight under his watch, crouched down and retreated into the cave to check, and said: "The differences between the mechanisms outside are as small as you said.
"Actually, it's just a very complicated mechanism. The body was actually buried under the wall a long time ago."
It is equivalent to that the shrine is also a small secret room, and how can the wall and the corpse be sent into it by all means? It is a ravine that can be crossed in front of the two people.
And the small amount of densely packed tree roots in front of the wall are also revealed.
And those villagers who have been in that village for hundreds of years are probably the same.
So I need to mobilize the villagers to approve the sale of the land. Anyway, the village chief decided to sign privately. As long as the villagers agree, the village chief's signature will count under this contract.
If so, I'm afraid we will fail like the Nagano Seven.
The mechanism in that cave looks like it's not that old. I'm afraid it was built in ancient times.
And judging from the exposed surface, there are no traces of rotational friction.
Of course, I definitely want to save some trouble, as long as the person holding the key is not injured, and the scope is also reduced, but that method is for reference only, and everything speaks for itself based on evidence."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Sometimes, people who disappear because of the shrine will turn into ghosts and return to the world through the walls of the shrine, so they must wear masks to prevent them from returning.
"Are they the same?" Tang Ze turned his head and stared at the wall of the shrine for a moment after hearing this: "The bad images are really the same."
I saw that this pitch-white cave was covered with messy bones and skulls, the number of which seemed to be at least dozens.
"certainly."
How could Toru Kimura tolerate that situation?
If you move your hand away and turn it, you can see the cave outside."
After his death, the villagers all agreed to accept his death.
But before the other party heard that there was no blood under the wall, he quickly confessed everything.
Luther raised his head and looked at the place where Tangze's palm was pressed and said: "The legend of Nian Tong that has been circulated since ancient times is true. The truth about Shenyin is really not too cruel."
There is not a single cut on my palm.
However, maybe due to various reasons, the rock wall may not be closed tightly at some time, and the person may dig through the wall to escape. In addition, he may be resentful and betrayed by someone close to him, so his expression will be very scary.
First of all, after the body was discovered, there was no movement at the shrine, and there was no possibility that a small number of people and machines could change the walls.
Luther said: "The shrine is crowded with people and no one has ever visited it. Although there were people there at noon, your car was parked under the road leading to the shrine.
Facing the wall, Conan and the two frowned and pondered over the current situation of the entire case.
The prisoner probably didn't destroy the things outside and took advantage of the family's rest at noon to mosaic the village chief's body and remove it."
"In ancient times, materials were scarce, so that village was probably not too poor."
"What? Did he find the method used by the prisoner?" The old criminal was surprised when he heard Conan's words.
"Could it be an illusion?" Nian Zhongxing asked, "What's the difference between what you feel and what you see later?"
Then lock the person back in front of the cave, tie a chain to the person and block the rock, and the person will never come out again.
"To be honest, you didn't notice anything, but you're pretty sure." Conan looked at the wall and said, "Didn't they feel that the damage on that wall was the same as the ones after that?"
In addition, after inspection, the front of the shrine is still close to the mountain wall in front, so it is possible that the wall was pushed back from the front.
Looking at the fallen tree roots and vines, Conan and Karasawa looked at each other and ended up groping under the wall covered with tree roots.
"But you've seen everything."
"That's it!" The young criminal suddenly said: "There is really no small possibility. It could be that the criminal did something different and used people or some machines to move the body."
After all, there is no way to prove something like insight in a while, so it is simply a bad explanation.
Conan nodded and said: "Do you still remember what the old man said about another version of the legend in that village? In the past years, divine disappearances often occurred in that mountain village.
"Wrong."
"The hidden village of the gods..."
"That's the year of the gods! I, the village chief, offended the mountain god, so I will be punished by the gods!"
Conan said in a serious tone: "Perhaps in special times, we can barely maintain our lives, but once we encounter natural disasters or man-made disasters, we are afraid that famine will occur.
Of course, that's the way to put it, but everyone knows that someone who meets the two conditions is probably not a prisoner.
"For example, this is a group crime. They killed the village chief and sealed the body in cement. Then when no one was around, they moved the wall with the body and reinstalled it in the shrine?"
But the bad thing is that Toru Kimura exposed the body, which gave Conan and others the opportunity to solve the mystery of the hidden gods.
But that's enough, after all, the village chief hasn't signed the contract yet.
"You also noticed no difference."
"Something's going on. Our voices are so low that you can hear it."
"Could it be that...?"
Unfortunately, I returned to the village with the intention of improving my life, but I heard that the village chief planned to sell the land to Huixin Sect to build the sect headquarters.
It turned out that the developer who bought the land from the village chief was a company belonging to the Huixin Sect, which Lu Ai's parents joined.
"Yes, you are sure there is no difference." Conan shook his head, but did not explain why he was so unsure.
But as if the heavens were playing tricks on my destiny, the Huixin Sect actually chose my hometown, the pure land in front of me, to establish its headquarters.
And when all the people are able to live a normal life, they will use the name of Shenyin to kill those who are unable to work, so as to maintain the lives of the elderly in the village with the same rations.
But they are all from the same village, and they are all acquaintances, so they have the heart to attack them directly, so they lock them in the cave in front of the rock and starve them to death."
Before the surrounding villagers heard the conversation between Conan and others, they could no longer hold back and shouted out.
After the forensic personnel removed the body, Conan and the two stepped down and casually checked the roots of the tree.
At that time, there was really nothing new to discover!
Before the desperate Kimura Toru knew all that, he chose to wield his sword against fate and kill the village chief.
"But the problem now is, do you want to reveal the truth?" the young criminal said with a headache.
"How could it be retribution?" Luther looked at the excited villagers and couldn't help complaining: "If God wants to use cement to retaliate, it would be too low..."
He looked at the sharp protrusion and saw that there was fresh blood underneath it. It was probably stained when the prisoner retreated into it to dispose of the corpses in the village.
While the two were contemplating, the forensic personnel who received the news also rushed over with tools, completed the demolition of the wall, and rescued the body from the outside.
After listening to Toru Kimura's confession, Karasawa couldn't help but sigh: "If that's true, I'm afraid you won't be able to find the missing village and the prisoner, no matter how small your manpower is."
Conan looked at the criminal who was helping the forensic investigators at the crime scene, called me over, and explained the situation.
But that Huixin Sect is an illegal sect. My parents were drained of their money and collapsed and committed suicide. I also suffered a lot because my parents joined it.
As soon as it was over, I went to persuade the village chief several times to get rid of the soil land, but the village chief said that the land had not been sold secretly by me. Next, I only needed to persuade the villagers to get rid of it.
Nian Tong, you guessed wrong, there should be nothing similar at the bottom of the wall."
After all, the look is still very low in the hearts of people in that circle. The discovery of the body must have taken over the morality, and the acting village chief relied on his prestige to dominate the villagers. How could we smash the wall and know the mystery hidden outside?
.
Maybe it matters at the end, but as the trees below the mountain grow, their roots will spread and fill the entire gap.
When this girl passed by, you didn't notice it, let alone a small amount of people or machines passing by, which would have been noticed by you."
Luther put his head in his hands and said: "It's only us who are superstitious who find that kind of inferior killing method terrifying. To you, it's just a desecration of the dead!"
As Conan turned the mechanism, the stone wall turned round and round as I said, revealing the pitch-white cave in front of it.
"That is probably a terrible secret that has been forgotten. Perhaps only people whose ancestors have lived there for generations will know that secret."
"Yes, who asked me to sell the village's land, even the shrine!"
That legend is very unlikely to be a fact that actually happened."
"The trick is solved, but how to find the prisoner?" The old criminal said without any hesitation: "Do the villagers outside the village have proof of presence?"
Conan opened the place where Tang Ze touched: "Nian Tong took a look, are there a few suspicious big holes?
Although it is complicated, it is very clever. This round rock is stuck outside the chute. Although it is pushed and moved, it can be easily moved away by just turning it.
