Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

"I believe that it must be fate that I can meet a famous detective like you here."

"Could you please help me solve this mystery?" the young monk said excitedly to Kogoro Mori.

Uncle Maori seemed a little embarrassed.

He felt like the other party was talking nonsense.

"what happened?"

Lin Feng and the other three walked over and asked.

"I, I am practicing in that temple..." The little monk pointed to a temple that could be vaguely seen on the green hill next to him and said.

A few days ago, a guest came to the temple and said he wanted to find the master, but he suddenly disappeared in the room. It was really weird.

"Suddenly...disappeared?"

Everyone looked puzzled.

"She was a female donor with long hair. We arranged for her to live in the temple's annex."

"The next morning, when breakfast was ready, I went over to invite her to eat. She was still in the room at that time."

"It's just that when I saw her, there was a knife stuck in her stomach!"

When the young monk named Chuanjiu said this, his eyes were full of fear. Anyone who saw such a scene alone early in the morning would be scared to death.

"Is she dead?!" Hattori immediately became alert and asked.

"Yes." Chuanjiu nodded.

"What do you mean by disappearing?"

"After I told the monk who was resting in the temple, I immediately called the police."

"But, but, when the police arrived at the annex to check, they only saw the master. There was really no trace of him."

"Even the bloodstains on the tatami have all disappeared." Chuanjiu told it like it was a horror story.

"Then what did your master say?" He Ye asked curiously.

"Master, he said that the guest went back early in the morning and said that I must be dreaming..." Chuanjiu said.

"You weren't really still asleep at that time, were you?" The more Uncle Maori listened, the more it sounded like a supernatural story from a tabloid.

"That absolutely didn't happen. I really saw it with my own eyes!" Chuanjiu explained excitedly.

"Well."

"Since he said so, let's go to that temple and listen to what the master has to say."

When faced with such a strange case, Hattori and Conan would certainly not let it go.

"If you don't go, maybe it will just be this little monk's daydream." Lin Feng complained.

If you go there, everything will be hard to say.

"Whether I went there or not, what's real is real, and what's an illusion is an illusion." Following behind Denkyu, Hattori said with his arms folded.

I do go to worship God occasionally, unlike this guy Kudo.

It’s all his fault. The magic power in him is too strong.

Everyone left the Sakura Festival venue, walked up the steps, and came to this small temple in the green mountains.

Chuanjiu introduced the Maori detective he specially invited to his bespectacled master.

"You must be the famous Mr. Maori Kogoro, right?"

"A famous detective like you would come to a remote temple like ours. What's the matter?" The old monk smiled and seemed very polite. "Actually, it was this young monk Chuanjiu who said..." Uncle Maori still didn't quite believe it, but since he had come this far, he had no choice but to investigate.

"You've heard the story about the guest disappearing out of thin air, right?" the old monk asked with a smile.

"Actually, to put it more clearly, we came here to confirm it."

"Let's see whether this little monk is hallucinating, or someone really died, but you secretly disposed of the body before the police arrived."

Hattori did not hide anything and immediately thought of the old monk in front of him.

No matter how you think about it, the discovery of a dead body doesn't seem fake, and it is very likely that this master is lying.

"This young man's insights are unique. It's okay, I'll take you to the villa to have a look." The old monk walked down the floor, put on his wooden clogs, walked past the crowd, and opened the door.

"Go check out the house that's been rumored to swallow people up."

The abbot led the way in front, and after walking through the woods for a long time, they finally saw the villa that Chuanjiu mentioned. It was still a bit far from the temple.

"This house looks very old." Lin Feng saw the condition of the wooden tiles from a distance and spoke.

"Yes, it has been almost fifty years since it was built." The host nodded.

Everyone took off their shoes outside the house and followed each other into the house.

Uncle Maori looked at the wooden door next to him and asked Chuanjiu, "So, where was the body you saw?"

"It's in the upper right corner of this room." Chuanjiu said it was in the main room and pointed to everyone.

"Here..."

Hattori and Conan immediately stepped forward and lifted up the tatami.

"This kind of tatami can't be used on both sides." Conan didn't figure out anything either.

There is no possibility of hiding the bloodstains by turning the tatami over.

"What kind of statue is this?" Xiaolan and Ye noticed the bronze statue covered by a glass cabinet in the corner of the room.

This glass cabinet is square and not very big, and is located in the lower left corner of the room.

"The room facing north is Vaisravana, one of the Four Heavenly Kings. The one facing west is Virūdhaka, the one facing south is Virūdhaka, and the one facing east is Dhritarashtra."

"There are four rooms here, and each room contains a different statue of deity," the old host explained to everyone.

When Uncle Maori heard this, he walked forward, opened the glass lid, and wanted to take a closer look.

"It's okay if you want to touch it, just be careful not to break anything."

"Because, that is a very precious statue that has been passed down for generations in our Shogakuji Temple." The old abbot reminded Mr. Kogoro to be careful and not touch it.

"This, this is it..."

Uncle Maori had no intention of touching it again and carefully put the glass lid back on.

Anyway, you can see inside at a glance, and there is clearly no trick.

However, it is necessary to turn over the tatami mats in the room one by one and take a look at them.

"Since I dare to bring you here, of course I won't let you find anything." Lin Feng had no desire to search with them.

Each room is only a few square meters in size and there is really nothing to see. Even if there was anything, it would have been cleaned up by the old monk long ago.

"Everyone, it's getting late. You may as well stay in the temple for the night. If you think it's necessary, you can continue the investigation after dawn tomorrow."

The old host was very generous and asked everyone to stay overnight, saying that you can check it out as you like! (End of this chapter)
