The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1045: The Monk's Blind Spot

Upon hearing this, the young monk and the old monk's faces froze and their expressions suddenly became strange.

The old monk dressed the young monk as a woman...

Ah, this child’s thinking is a bit outrageous!
At the same time, on the other side, the people who heard this sentence also fell silent.

"Good fellow, you dare to say such a thing?"

"Good job! You didn't lose any points to us high school detectives!"

Fujino looked at Conan saying these words in a baby voice and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Xiaolan's expression suddenly froze.

"Old monk, young monk, dressed as a woman..."

"This...this kid...what on earth is he talking about?!"

Xiaolan was thinking in her heart, her pure brain circuits were spinning rapidly and she suddenly crashed.

The innocent Xiaolan may not understand.

Others didn't understand either, but were greatly shocked.

The old monk and the young monk and the priest and the little boy are similar in nature.

It is indescribable. It is indescribable.

Hattori Heiji glanced at Conan who said such rude words with dead fish eyes, then he coughed lightly and continued: "This thing was found by this kid when he was checking the tatami. Girls' earrings usually fall off easily, so they need this thing to fix them, but this thing also falls off easily, so the question is, who does this thing belong to!"

"I remembered!"

Monk Chuanjiu recovered and shouted, "The woman I saw had something like a pendant hanging on her ear!"

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji looked at Abbot Shilian and said with a smile, "In this case, what Master Chuanjiu saw was not an illusion, but a definite fact."

"No no no..."

The old monk obviously would not kneel down and admit his mistake just because of something like this, but he slowly began to explain.

He had said before that in addition to Chuanjiu, he had two apprentices, one named Wenjiu and the other named Linjiu. However, unlike Chuanjiu, these two were idle all day long and would sneak out to play every night, and they would also disguise themselves.

Wigs, earrings, and messy clothes, and those two people often changed clothes here.

This thing was left over from that time.

It was precisely because they could not adapt to the life in the temple that the two disciples left the temple.

The old monk explained it this way, and it seemed to have no flaws and was even very logical.

On the other hand, Conan and Hattori Heiji had a slight smile on their faces.

I secretly sighed in my heart: This old man has taken the bait!
Fujino walked forward slowly and said directly: "So this means that this thing was left by your two disciples?"

"Yes."

After receiving the old monk's response, Fujino chuckled and said, "If that's the case, then they should have pierced their ears too, right?"

"This..." The old monk was stunned when he heard this, and his drooping eyelids suddenly opened a little.

Fujino smiled and said, "This kind of ear clip is used with pierced earrings to fix the earrings. To use this kind of earrings, you need to pierce the ears. I think, as a master who lives with them and watched them grow up, you should find out the first time and would not allow your apprentice to pierce their ears, right?"

"Besides, they certainly wouldn't pierce their ears to avoid being exposed."

Ai Huihara, who was following behind Fujino, added silently at this time: "It takes time to pierce your ears. You need to use toothpicks or small iron pillars to fix them. It usually takes several days. Otherwise, you can't pierce your ears at all, and even if you pierce them, they will heal."

As she spoke, she looked at Hongye beside her and said, "Am I right?"

"That's right!" Hongye next to him echoed, "Piercing the ears is very painful. My ears bled at the time, and I usually need to wear earrings to prevent that part from growing back. Otherwise, it will be very troublesome to wear them again. After the earrings are pierced, they still need to be cared for."

"These are common sense for girls."

Fujino glanced at the old monk and said, "But as a monk, you probably don't understand, right?"

The old monk's face froze when he heard this.

Obviously, this involves the monk's blind spot in knowledge.

He is an old monk who has been single for many years, and is surrounded by young monks.

How could you possibly understand this?!

Fujino sneered and shook his head: "It's normal that you don't understand, but it's a taboo to create a lie for yourself with something you don't understand... So, this thing doesn't belong to your two disciples at all, but to the woman that monk Chuanjiu saw that day."

"You said earlier that the woman just left, but now you're saying that the woman has never been here and that everything is just an illusion. This is obviously contradictory."

Fujino then stared at him and said, "Excuse me, where were you just now, and why did you get here before us?"

The old monk's expression changed slightly when he heard this, but he still tried his best to remain calm: "I just..."

"Can't you tell me?"

Seeing that he was hesitant, Fujino asked Chuanjiu without waiting for him to finish, "Chuanjiu, where was your master when you saw that woman just now?"

"I'm not sure about this." Chuanjiu hesitated, "It was time to clean this room, so I came here, and then I saw that woman, and then I ran out to find you. Master might have been somewhere else in the temple at that time, right?"

"Then did you see Abbot Shi Lian when you were running away?"

"That...is not the case."

"What about when you come back?"

“Neither did I.”

Fujino nodded and said, "I have already observed this place. There is only one road leading to this place, and there are forests all around. For a normal person, if they want to come here, they must take this path instead of crossing the forest in the dark. Abbot Shilian arrived here before us, but we did not see him on the road. In other words, Abbot Shilian must have followed you before we caught up with you."

As he spoke, Fujino looked at the old monk and said, "You guys are all very young and run very fast, but Abbot Shi Lian is so old, can he also reach your speed? I think it's impossible. If he was in the temple at that time, we would definitely see him. Although we have girls here, we can always walk faster than Abbot Shi Lian."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji understood Fujino's intention and began to reason, "It takes seven or eight minutes to run from the door to here, and it takes more than ten to twenty minutes to walk slowly. You walked here quickly, which took you about two or three minutes longer than us. When we arrived here and looked at the situation in the room, Abbot Shi Lian immediately appeared from behind us. In other words, Abbot Shi Lian has actually been here the whole time."

Hattori Heiji then reasoned, "If that's the case, then that woman is most likely Abbot Shi Lian in disguise, right?"
