Chapter 531 Zhengming Temple, Zhengming Society and Pilgrim Groups
Inside the room.
Conan, Hattori, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki exchanged their thoughts with each other and quickly summarized the case.
Immediately afterwards, Conan, Hattori, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki all turned to look at Takagi Wataru. Hattori asked: "...Officer Takagi, are we right? Also, your police must have updated the deceased.
A detailed investigation? Are there any other connections between them?"
"Uh..." Takagi Wataru stretched out his hand to scratch his head, with a big bead of sweat hanging on his forehead, "...what you said is correct. In fact, our police's investigation ideas are indeed the same as yours. As for the more detailed
investigation……"
"...Every victim does have something in common. First of all, they are all related to Mihua University. Except for Chunliu Hanru and Donglong Shangping, two professors of Mihua University, the first victim
Kashyun Soyanagi is a past graduate of Miwa University, and the third victim, Mr. Feng Yue Zhizheng, used to be a school janitor at Mihua University..."
"...In addition, they are also members of a pilgrim group at Zhengming Temple near Mihua University..."
"Zhengmeiji Temple? Pilgrim group?" Conan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Koshizu Nanatsuki and said:
"...Sister Yuesui, are the people you came to Mihua University to investigate today also members of this pilgrim group? They are the Professor Miura, Associate Professor Ishida, and Director Shimaki you mentioned before..."
"Ah? That..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki scratched his head and said, "...I don't know either. In fact, I only learned about this serial murder case from a certain channel, and I happened to know that the police had questioned Professor Miura and the others.
, so I just came to investigate by myself..."
"...That's it..." Hattori Heiji frowned, "...then you said before that you thought this case was a bit weird, so you came to investigate... What exactly do you mean by 'weird'?"
Nanatsuki Koshizui was stunned for a moment, but before he could answer, Conan had already said with a smile: "...Well... I think the 'weirdness' that Sister Koshizui said was because this was a bizarre serial murder case, right?
Sister Yuesui probably suspects that this series of bizarre serial murders may have been planned by the murder planner in Hokkaido, so she wants to see if she can find any clues...right?"
"Uh..." Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at Conan in surprise, "...you brat, from a mental point of view, you are really already a qualified detective. Yes, I came here precisely because I had suspicions.
Investigate it..."
"So that's it!" Hattori Heiji nodded clearly, then turned to look at Takagi and said:
"...Officer Takagi, who are the Professor Miura, Associate Professor Ishida, and Director Shimaki whom Detective Koshimi just mentioned? Could they all be members of that pilgrim group?"
"This..." Takagi Wataru hesitated for a moment, then said truthfully, "...the real names of the three of them are Miura Jinko, Ishida Tonori, and Shimaki Matsutaro. Just as you think, they are all
He is a member of a pilgrim group called Zhengmingshe, and is also one of the suspects in this case..."
"Are they all suspects?" Uncle Maori asked.
Takagi nodded and said: "That's right. Our police also suspect that this series of serial murders was probably committed by someone within Zhengming Temple or Zhengming Society. After the incident, people from Zhengming Temple and Zhengming Society were
All members conducted an investigation, and in the end, when the first three murders occurred, there were only nine people who did not have clear alibi."
"...They are respectively the abbot of Shomeiji Temple, Jiyong, the monk Huineng, the monk Huishan, the monk Miura Zhenzi of Shomei Shrine, Tonori Ishida, Shimaki Matsutaro, Yamagyuki Tsukishu, Hatano Emi, Shimizu Nagao..."
As soon as Officer Takagi finished speaking, Hattori Heiji narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "...Have the police identified the suspects? That's good, it saves us a lot of time. Next, wait.
After the on-site investigation is over, let’s go visit them together..."
"Uh...hehehe..." Takagi's mouth twitched and he laughed twice——
By the way, what does Hattori Heiji mean by what he said?
So the police have conducted so many investigations just to save you detectives trouble?
This is so rude, isn’t it?!
…
The investigation of the murder scene is still continuing.
In a blink of an eye, it was early four o'clock in the afternoon, and all investigations on the scene were completed. Officer Megure and his uncle were planning to go to Shomeiji Temple for investigation and questioning. Conan, Hattori, Uncle Mori, and Nanatsuki Koshimizu also followed one by one.
Officer Megure said the destination, then pressed the hat on his head and said: "...This afternoon, the suspected Miura Jinko, Ishida Tonori, Yamagyuki Tsukishu and others happened to be in Shomeiji Temple.
There’s still a lot of twists and turns left…”
Uncle Maori immediately asked curiously: "...Those suspects are all at Zhengming Temple? Isn't this a coincidence?"
"This is not a coincidence." Miwako Sato looked at a group of detectives and introduced, "According to the custom, people from Shomeisha go to Shomei Temple every Sunday at three o'clock in the afternoon to burn incense and worship Buddha, and they will probably continue until early four o'clock. This habit has already
It lasted for fifteen years..."
"...We worship Buddha together every Sunday? How pious~" Hattori Heiji sighed, then turned to look at Conan and said, "...By the way, kid. Do you still remember? In the notice letter written by the prisoner, the first
The sentence is 'I am a scholar and poet who has traveled through thousands of years.' It seems that Buddhism was introduced to Japan from China a thousand years ago. Do you think this case has any symbolic meaning within Buddhism?"
"It shouldn't be possible, right?" Conan pinched his chin and shook his head, "Buddhism was indeed introduced to Japan thousands of years ago. However, if what the prisoner really wants to express is the symbolic meaning of Buddhism, in the first sentence
How should we explain 'literary poet'? I always feel that this 'literary poet' should mean something else..."
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "...In addition, there are the twenty-eight constellations. Although Buddhism also has this statement, strictly speaking, it is a Taoist concept. If the prisoner wants to use Buddhism'
If it's twenty-eight', wouldn't it be better to use 'twenty-eight days' than twenty-eight constellations?"
"Well, that's right..."
Hattori Heiji nodded, and Xiaolan asked in surprise: "...Conan, how do you know this?"
"Ah?" Conan's eyes instantly became bewildered, and then he scratched his head and said, "...I actually heard this...from brother Yunwen!~"
"Classmate Yunwen?"
Xiaolan was still a little suspicious, while Conan scratched his head and pretended to be innocent, looked around, and then froze: "...Strange, where did brother Yunwen go?"
"...Yunwen-san suddenly said that he had something important to do, so he left." Sato Miwako explained.
"Important thing?" Conan blinked - by the way, now they have encountered a serial murder case, okay? Is there anything more important than solving the case?
Conan complained in his heart, and Hattori Heiji said: "Okay! Leave that guy alone! Since he is not interested in this case, let us do it! Let's solve the case as soon as possible and let him see our
sharp!"
Conan nodded "Yeah," and Nanatsuki Koshizui twitched the corner of his mouth twice, thinking wildly in his mind——
By the way, what exactly is Shu Yunwen’s so-called “important thing”?
Is that guy going to use his messy abilities to solve crimes again?
This time, is the cheater planning to jump out and make people disgusting at the last moment of solving the case?
That feeling of working so hard on a lot of reasoning, only to find it useless in the end, is so frustrating...
