Mao Lilan, Yuanshan and Ye decided to stay in the car and wait because they were afraid that there would be monsters in the side room.

Ye Gengyi followed behind them and returned to the scene of the death.

However, the body Chuanjiu mentioned was not in the room.

"There is nothing at all." Hattori Heiji looked around.

"How can this be…"

Monk Chuanjiu muttered a few words in disbelief, and walked to the center of the room, "Obviously, I just saw it..."

"Oh, it seems that I have to tell you the truth."

Abbot Shi Lian walked up the stairs at a leisurely pace, looked at the few people who were also looking at him, and sighed:

"Chuan Jiu...Actually, there were no pilgrims who came to the temple that day. What you thought you saw was actually just an illusion that you were looking for your mother who passed away a long time ago."

"W-how could it be? Could it be that my brain is really broken..." Monk Chuanjiu froze for a moment, covering his head in disbelief.

"That's right, 18 years ago, your poor mother threw you into the sea after entrusting you to this monastery. Since the old monk is not good at rejecting others by nature, besides you, he also adopted two or three children afterwards. Chuanjiu ..."

Abbot Shi Lian said slowly: "It's understandable that you miss your mother. After all, other than you, other children can't stand the penance in the temple and return to vulgarity."

So, the old monk likes to scare his disciples by dressing up as a corpse, is he forced out because he can't stand the cleanliness?

Then the previous apprentices were also forced to return to vulgarity because of this situation?

Ye Gengyi's thoughts wandered slightly, and then he denied the guess.

wrong…

Women's clothing is not terrible, what is terrible is that after the women's clothing, they have to pretend to be corpses.

If this kind of shocking behavior was really done and continued for a period of time, it is impossible for there to be no news at all.

In other words, this kind of behavior should have only recently started to form. Well, I need to confirm again. After all, if it is not a murder case, but a simple frightening incident of a perverted old monk wearing women's clothing, it is better not to show my name in this kind of record Better…

Ye Geng thought about it, and asked, "Abbot, are you sure that no one visited the temple a few days ago?"

"Um."

Abbot Shi Lian nodded, "Because that morning, Chuanjiu suddenly came to me with an ugly face and told me that the body was found. I thought maybe a tourist who got lost on the mountain broke into this wing, so I came to confirm... But the fact As you can see now, there is no one in the room at all."

"So...you were in the temple over there?" Ye Geng pointed out the door and pointed to the other side of the mountain.

"Yes, because the old monk would get up early every day to chant scriptures in front of the Buddha statue." Abbot Shilian said.

"Oh, that's good." Ye Geng nodded.

"Ah?" Abbot Shi Lian was startled, as if he didn't understand why.

"What I mean is, since you were in the temple, abbot, the one in the side room is indeed the real corpse." Ye Gengyi said.

As soon as this remark came out, not only Abbot Shilian, but also Mori Kogoro, Hattori Heiji and Conan all showed astonished expressions.

real corpse?

Could it be that Genaichi has found a clue... Conan and Hattori Heiji are waiting to be questioned.

Mori Kogoro was the first to question: "Hey, Genichi, how can there be any corpses here?"

On the side, Abbot Shi Lian also explained: "This old man only admitted that there was such a female pilgrim because he sympathized with Chuanjiu who saw the illusion..."

"No! There must be such a person!"

Hattori Heiji walked up to several people, and said firmly: "And I stayed in this room before!"

"Why do you even say that..." Mori Kogoro looked helpless.

"Grandpa Abbot, may I ask if no one has used this place for a long time?" Conan ran over to interrupt his tool man's complaints.

"Well, there have been no guests staying here for about a year or two." Abbot Shi Lian paused, as if thinking that this big-headed kid wanted to ask why the room was so clean, and continued: "Of course we still come here in normal times. Clean up."

"Oh, so only people from the temple have been here..."

Conan stared at the two, and said seriously: "Then the abbot or brother Chuanjiu has a habit of wearing women's clothes~"

Huh? Did the little detective find any clues... A strange color flashed in Ye Geng's eyes, and he also quickly reviewed the previous clips in his mind.

Wait a minute... Could it be that Kudo Shinichi thought of this because of the sentence he reminded earlier, "Maybe the abbot has unknown and unique hobbies like you", combined with his own hobbies.

He also likes to wear women's clothing in private?

Could it be the special medicinal effect of APTX-4869? No... There is a lack of data to support this analysis. Based on the current information, the only man who survived taking this drug is Kudo Shinichi.

Thinking of Coolguy turning into Coolgirl inexplicably, by the way, after the pier incident, Conan seemed to be still pretending to be Xiaoai that night, wandering around the street for most of the night.

Also, Belmode wanted to kill Zhibao, did he also know the secret?

Wait, she is a woman, and she has not been in contact with the little detective who became Edogawa Conan for as long as I did, so she shouldn't be so keen to discover the little detective's unique hobbies.

Unless, there is such a person beside her, and it is a man...

Could it be that 'that one' also took this medicine, and had the appearance characteristics of this aspect, but it was not obvious, so she happened to notice it?

Hiss...Thinking carefully, I am terrified.

He is thinking here.

On the side, Shi Lian and Chuan Jiu were stunned by Conan's phrase 'women's clothing'.

In any case, at least on the bright side, Ye Zengichi and Hattori Heiji's questioning is just a matter of the moment, and Conan's question actually has a hint of provocation in it.

Mori Kogoro picked up a certain detective, ready to implement iron fist education, "Hey! Brat, what are you talking about without thinking!"

"First Evolution"

Conan didn't want to be beaten for no reason, so he quickly took out an earring clasp from his pocket, "Look, I found this."

"That's what we found in the gap when we checked whether the tatami mats were double-sided in the evening..."

Hattori Heiji explained from the side, "Before we thought that the female pilgrim was accidentally left here, but now... Abbot Shilian, you said that person has never appeared? Then who took the earring off? What about here?"

"Let me take a look." Ye Geng stretched out his hand and asked.

"Yeah!" Conan hurriedly handed it over, trying to win over his allies.

Neutral style, this alone can't overturn my previous guess...Ye Gengyi silently handed the thing to a tool man who stretched his neck and looked this way.

"Uh, it really is an earring, and it's still very new," Mori Kogoro observed for a moment, then looked at Abbot Shilian, "May I ask this..."

"Yes, yes, I remembered!"

On the side, Monk Chuanjiu jumped and shouted like a neurotic: "I remembered, the female corpse I saw had such an earring on her ear!"

Everyone: "..."

You don't have any convincing power at all, okay...

"No, Chuanjiu, the owner of this earring should be someone from Wen Jiu or Lin Jiu who was still practicing in this temple until two months ago."

Abbot Shi Lian explained in a slow voice without any panic: "You shouldn't have forgotten, those two fellow disciples who like to behave mischievously all day long, they would always sneak out of the temple at night and go to the city to have fun, In order not to expose her identity as a monk, she even disguised herself to conceal her identity."

"Disguise?" Ye Geng looked over from one side.

"Yeah, I don't know where I got the wig and earrings, and some fashionable clothes..."

Abbot Shi Lian said: "Chuanjiu and I have seen their outfits at the gate of the temple several times. Chuanjiu, am I not talking nonsense?"

"Hmm... yes, when they were still in the temple, they would occasionally seek me out in private, and wanted me to do the same..."

Chuanjiu nodded and said "Yes", "I told the abbot about it later."

"That's right, I scolded them severely, and then Wen Jiu and Lin Jiu returned to vulgarity."

A trace of loneliness flashed in Abbot Shi Lian's eyes. Because those two people were also children he adopted since he was a child. Unfortunately, he is not a qualified educator. Chuanjiu has a cowardly personality and his brain is not very bright. He occasionally goes down the mountain to buy things, and he is even bullied by children...

Wen Jiu and Lin Jiu were too rebellious. They smoked, drank, gambled, and even robbed once and were thrown into a detention center.

Now he doesn't even recognize his adoptive father...

"In other words, this earring is..." Mori Kogoro seemed to be aware of the abnormal atmosphere, and his voice lowered a bit.

"That's right," Abbot Shi Lian calmed down, and said, "They often come here in disguise, maybe they accidentally dropped it at that time."

"Okay, okay, things are like this, one more time, we should go back!" Mori Kogoro greeted several people to prepare to go down the mountain.

"...Is this really the case? But I always feel that something is not quite right~lightnovelpub.net~ Hattori Heiji and Conan refused to leave.

"Oh, it seems that you still have doubts in your heart, and it seems that you can't let go."

Abbot Shi Lian clasped his hands together and gave a salute: "Then stay here and check carefully. After all, if there was really a woman covered in blood lying here, then there must be blood on the tatami..."

"Abbot, take a step to speak."

Ye Geng walked a few steps in the direction of the woods, and then said to the two detectives who looked over curiously: "It's none of your business, if we don't find clues, we'll go down the mountain."

Conan: "..."

Hattori Heiji:"…"

Brother Geng is really, why are you so out of touch...

Then, the two plunged into the wing room.
