Arriving at the other courtyard, Shi Lian led the way, took a group of people to the room, and introduced the situation of the other courtyard.
There are four rooms in the whole courtyard, which is like a square divided into four squares. The four rooms are only separated by a wooden door.
Each room is the size of eight tatami mats, and there are transparent glass boxes at the four corners. The statues of the four heavenly kings are placed in the glass boxes.
As soon as they heard that the body was in the upper right corner of the room, Conan and Hattori Heiji immediately ran over, lifted up the tatami, and looked at the floor.
Mouri Kogoro walked up to one of the statues, squatted down out of curiosity, reached out and opened the glass cover on the statue's glass box.
"It's okay to touch it, but please don't damage it," Master Shi Lian said in a calm tone, "because this is a Buddha statue passed down from the time of our Shengyue Temple."
"Ah?" Mouri Kogoro sweated and quickly and carefully put the lid on, "Okay, okay..."
Chi Feichi raised his hand to pull down the Tengu mask, put it on, and walked towards Mouri Kogoro with peace of mind.
He remembered the method of this case. It is difficult for people to bear the temper to waste time on something that is already known and difficult to deal with. How could he be the only one who found it boring?
Yes, he plans to flip the table.
It's just that it's a bit boring to flip the table directly in front of Conan every time. This time I can add some fancy table flipping skills.
"Eh? Master, this room really smells of blood!"
As Chi Feichi approached the statue, Feichi also smelled the smell of blood that was difficult for humans to detect. He jumped down from Chi Feichi's shoulders, spit out the snake letter and sniffed around, and his heart suddenly became happy.
The smell of blood is under the glass box where the Four Heavenly Kings are kept!
This must be an important clue, it should remind the owner!
There hasn't been much action recently, and the owner doesn't pay much attention to tomorrow's date. It hasn't shown itself for a long time, but today, yes, today, it wants to let the owner see it again. strength!
"host……"
"President Shi Lian," Chi Feichi stood behind Maori Kogoro with a calm voice, "Do you need my teacher to expose you directly?"
"Huh?" Mouri Kogoro was still squatting in front of the Buddha statue. He turned around and looked up in confusion. He felt his heart stopped for a moment and was almost sent away by his disciples.
The light shines from behind Chi Feichi, casting a long black shadow in front. The person standing against the light is wearing a zippered black coat and a red tengu mask on his face. The whole person has a gloomy aura, and the mask The holes in the eyes exposed the purple eyes. Due to the lack of light, the purple eyes looked cold and dark. Staring at him condescendingly, it made people feel seriously uncomfortable in the heart.
Host Shi Lian looked back in confusion and felt that her hairless scalp was even colder, giving rise to goosebumps.
On the side, Hattori Heiji and Conan, who had put down the tatami, also turned to look at Chi Feichi with half-moon eyes.
When Conan saw Mouri Kogoro, his face gradually became expressionless, and he skillfully covered his ears.
"I said..." Mouri Kogoro stood up and roared with dissatisfaction, "Can you, kid, stop standing behind others and suddenly make a sound? Even if that doesn't work, can you take off the mask before speaking? Do you know that people are scary?
It will scare people to death!”
Next to them, Mao Lilan, distant mountains and leaves were affected by the roar, their hair flowed back, and they huddled together in cold sweat.
"Don't be fooled by the weird appearance." Chi Feichi felt that his teacher was really making a fuss, but he still took off his mask and looked at Mouri Kogoro calmly, "You are a famous detective who makes evil people fearful. You are upright and immune to evil.
, even if you see a ghost, you will take a detour."
Hattori Heiji thought 'f*ck' in his mind, looked at Chi Feichi, and then looked at Conan blankly.
Is Brother Fei Chi so good at talking? Then why does he feel that Brother Fei Chi is hurting him with his words and cold attitude every time?
Conan chuckled in his heart.
This guy Chi Feichi is really... really...
How do you keep your face from blushing and your heart from beating, and talk nonsense in a serious manner?
Looking at the uncle's confused and inexplicable expression, it was obvious that he had been tricked.
Shi Lian was silent for a moment, "The donor's words are very spiritual and have Buddha nature."
Chuanjiu silently nodded in approval. If others hadn't told him, he wouldn't have thought of this.
Chi Feichi took a deep look at Shi Lian and suspected that what the old monk said about "being spiritual" meant "being able to fool people" meant "we lack people like you" meant "should we consider becoming a monk". However, no matter what the old monk thought, he
I'm here to flip the table, nothing else matters.
"Oh, you said that..." Mouri Kogoro suppressed his blush and reflected that his behavior of scolding his apprentice just now was very inappropriate. He didn't know how to express it. He coughed dryly and laughed, "That's right, I am famous.
A famous detective, if I see a ghost, I will always take a detour!"
Mao Lilan put her hand on her forehead. Her father didn't even know how to be modest.
Chi Feichi thought his teacher's reaction was very interesting and continued to guide him, "Besides, the teacher has seen through the truth a long time ago. There is no need to make a fuss about something that is not bizarre at all."
"That's right, this is just a bizarre incident, it's not worth making a fuss about..."
Mouri Kogoro paused, a little confused.
Wait, what truth? What did he see through?
After Haihara Ai was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but cast a sympathetic look at Conan.
It is said that the uncle saw through the truth. It must be that Brother Fei Chi has discovered the truth about the mystery of the missing body, and someone seems to be...
Conan: "..."
Haha, sorry, he has no clue at all.
Host Shi Lian was doubtful, without showing any abnormality on his face, and looked at Mouri Kogoro, "Then, I would like to ask Detective Mouri, do you think there is really a corpse swallowed by this room?"
"The truth is under the statue," Chi Feichi looked at Mouri Kogoro, "That's why the teacher came here, right? However, the host seems to be very reluctant to expose the truth, so you hesitated again."
"Uh, that's right..." Mouri Kogoro responded hesitantly and secretly winked at Chi Feichi.
Did his apprentice misunderstand something? He doesn’t know anything. Should he go out and communicate with him?
Hattori Heiji looked at the statue on Mouri Kogoro's body with a confused look on his face.
There seems to be nothing strange about it. What did Uncle and Brother Fei Chi discover? Has his ability deteriorated so seriously?
Host Shi Lian sighed, raised his eyes and said to monk Chuanjiu, "Chuanjiu, you go boil some water to make tea. I want to talk to the guests here."
"Yes..." Monk Chuanjiu hesitated for a moment and did not leave in a hurry. "Host, does that corpse really exist? But why do you say I saw it wrongly in my dream?"
"This is all your hallucination. There are no female benefactors here at all. This is your hallucination because you miss your mother who left you in the monastery eighteen years ago and committed suicide by jumping into the sea," Shi Lian sighed.
He said in a tone, "Although I wanted to say this, in fact, you are right, that corpse does exist. As for why I lied to you, just think that I don't want this kind of thing to affect the reputation of the temple. Someone died in
It's never a good thing to be in a monastery. It's my fault to deceive you."
"No, host, I didn't actually... I just felt weird and wanted to know the truth," Monk Chuanjiu hesitated and said no more. He nodded and turned to leave, "I'm going to boil water."
Master Shiren watched Monk Denjiu leave. He turned around and saw Hattori Heiji and Conan looking at the statue. He reminded you, "I said this is a treasure passed down from generation to generation in Shogok Temple. I'm not lying to you. It would be a pity to break it."
of."
"It's inappropriate to cover up blood and corpses with precious Buddha statues passed down from generation to generation, isn't it appropriate?" Hattori Heiji let go of the stripped glass box and smiled at Shiren, but tears of noodles were left in his heart.
(╥﹏╥)
What's wrong with this Buddha statue?
He took out the Buddha statue and looked at it. It was just an ordinary Buddha statue, heavy and hard, without even a blood spot. As for the glass box containing the Buddha statue, except for the thin wooden frame, the rest was made of transparent glass. He picked it up
You can see the tatami underneath the Buddha statue at a glance, and there are no blood stains or traps.
So, what exactly did he overlook?
"I think even if the four heavenly kings knew that I did this, they wouldn't blame me," Shi Lian looked at Mouri Kogoro, "Mr. Mouri, now that Denkyu has left, let me see the sharpness of the famous detective.
How terrifying is the vision? Later, I will tell you everything about it."
Maori Kogoro:"……"
This is really being put on the stake by his apprentice!
However, his disciple must have admired him so much that he thought he saw it? At this time, if he said that he was actually confused, would it disappoint his disciple? Would it look embarrassing?
Chi Feichi walked towards the Buddha statue where Hattori Heiji and Conan were staying.
An idea flashed through Mouri Kogoro, and he pretended to be profound and said to Shi Lian, "Let the young man try it. If his idea is wrong, I, as a teacher, will correct it."
Host Shi Lian nodded seriously, "Detective Maori is a good teacher."
Conan: "..."
Hey, hey, how come the uncle's image has become so tall in an instant?
Also, when did Chi Feichi and the uncle have such a tacit understanding that they actually sang the double act together... No, in fact, the essence is that a certain guy is leading everyone's lead!
Speechless, Conan looked at Chi Feichi who walked up to and squatted down next to him.
Does he hope that Chi Fei Chi's speculation is correct, or does he hope that Chi Fei Chi will make a mistake and extinguish Chi Fei Chi's 'arrogant' momentum?
Chi Feichi squatted down in front of the statue and only did two things.
The first thing: open the glass cover, take out the statue inside and put it aside.
The second thing: pick up the glass box and put it aside.
After Chi Feichi took away the glass box, there was a dried brown blood stain on the tatami below against the wall.
"This is..." Hattori Heiji looked at the blood stains in surprise, then looked at the removed glass box, picked it up and looked at it, and instantly became even more depressed.
A piece of bamboo surface that is the same as the tatami is glued to the bottom of the glass box. As long as the glass box is placed on the tatami and only the statues inside are removed, they can see the tatami below at a glance. In fact, what they see is just the tatami that is glued to the bottom of the glass box.
Just bamboo noodles.
Just because they thought there were no traces hidden under the glass box, they never thought of moving it and ignored the possibility.
Once exposed, it was actually a very low-tech cover-up. Why didn't he think of moving the glass box and taking a look before?
