Conan: Open the Door, I’m a Policeman

"Officer! Here!" Outside Shengyue Temple, a young monk greeted the approaching police car.

"Where is the body?" Parked the car, Mizuma Yue got out of the car and asked. ,

"This way, follow me!" Said to go, but the monk turned around and ran away.

Mizuki and other police officers followed without saying a word. There are many steps in the temple, so it is inconvenient to drive. In fact, the destination is still a long way from the temple gate.

"Hu Chi... Hu Chi... What are you doing with the guest room key so far away?"

"Ha...ha...ha...ha..." And the monk was panting even more exaggeratedly, he couldn't speak normally: "Ha...here...this is...ha...a room for women...pilgrims...ha...ha... room." As for the other police officers , I've only climbed halfway up the mountain now.

When she turned around, Mizumayuki found that Shiratori was still following behind her, but her breathing was a little heavier than her. The two followed the direction pointed out by the monk and walked into a room with an open door.

As far as I can see, a square room is square and neat and tidy. Two walls are composed of sliding doors. At the outermost corner, you can see a statue of Nio in a glass cabinet. There are eight tatami mats on the ground. , in the center of the room stood an elderly monk dressed in black who was chanting scriptures, apparently the host here.

"The corpse... Where's the corpse?" Mizumayue looked around carefully to make sure that she really didn't see the corpse, so she couldn't help asking the host.

"Hello, police officer, I'm hosting Shi Lian at Xiashengyue Temple. I also came over after hearing Chuan Nian saying that there were corpses here, but I didn't see anything. As the police officer saw, there were no corpses here." Host Shi Lian said, it turns out that The young monk outside is named Chuannian.

"What do you mean? Is your disciple lying?" Mizumayue asked with a frown.

"How is that possible! I clearly saw the corpse of the female pilgrim lying here before! Now... why is it gone now!" Chuan Nian also came in at this time. Hearing the conversation between host Shi Lian and Shui Jianyue, he pointed to shouted on the ground.

Looking down his finger, Mizumayue was taken aback. It turned out that she was standing where there was a corpse, and hurriedly jumped to the side.

"What about the corpse?" Shui Jianyue looked at the monk Chuannian and Shi Lian with unkind eyes. There are only these two monks on the mountain. These two people either lied to Chuan Nian or Shi Lian hid the corpse. Or two people play the police together.

"I don't know..." Chuannian lowered his head in grievance.

"There is no body at all." Shi Lian said firmly.

Mizumayuki opened one of the two sliding doors. It was a room that was almost indistinguishable from this room, and of course there were no corpses.

Shiratori went to open another door, which was exactly the same as Mizumayuki's side.

This guest room is a large square room with four doors divided into four rooms with the character "Tian", so Mizuma Tsuki and Shiratori finally met in the first room diagonally opposite.

There were no corpses in the four rooms, and not even a drop of blood was found, which made Mizumayuki and Shiratori look at the two monks even more badly.

Especially Shiratori, he once investigated a Shanni Temple case, which was a case in which the master murdered the elder disciple, and the younger disciple killed the master again. After that, his innate perception of monks was not very good.

The other police officers finally ran half dead and climbed up, but they were paralyzed on the ground like a dead dog, obviously unable to work immediately, Minzumayuki was thinking about letting them run and practice in the morning and evening.

"Tell me again what kind of corpse you saw." Mizumayue instructed Chuan Niandao.

"Well...I came to deliver food to this pilgrim this morning, but as soon as I came in, I saw her lying in the center of the room, lying on her side, the blood under her body had soaked a large piece of tatami, and there was a knife stuck in her abdomen. , with a very grim expression." Chuannian recounted the process of discovering the corpse vividly.

"I was so startled that I even knocked over the food. I hurriedly went to tell the master, and then ran down the mountain to call the police." Chuannian continued.

"The body is gone, what about the female pilgrim?" Mizumayue asked again.

"How can there be any female pilgrims?" Host Shi Lian asked stunned.

"Master, have you forgotten? It was just last night that I came to visit you. You also asked me to show her the population register in the temple over the years. She cried when I saw her, and then I left first, you Arrange her in the guest room!" When he heard that Host Shi Lian couldn't remember there were female pilgrims, the monk Chuannian panicked.

"Oh oh oh! You're talking about her, she did come, but she left early this morning, didn't I tell you?" Host Shi Lian gave me a confused expression.

"Go... go?" Chuannian looked incredulous: "But I clearly saw her body!"

"I said Chuan Nian, are you sleepy?" Host Shi Lian suddenly said, "Did you have a strange dream, but you still can't tell the difference between reality and dream?"

"Uh...this..." Chuannian didn't immediately deny Shi Lian's opinion. It seems that Chuannian himself has a similar criminal record.

The police officers finally regained their ability to act. They did not need the supervision of Mizumayuki to conduct a detailed review of the guest rooms on their respective divisions of labor, and did not even obtain the consent of host Shi Lian.

After basic photo-taking and forensics, the police officers and forensic personnel started unscrupulous searches without hesitation.

To be honest, the members of the forensics department who had been trained by Tsuki Mizuma looked more like demolishing a house. All the tatami mats were opened, the paper sliding doors were removed, and Luminol reagents were sprayed everywhere without money. If you ask them what is the difference between them and the demolition team, they are probably the only ones who will take care of them after a while. Bar.

"That! Can you not disturb the Niwang statue?" The host stopped Nakamura Yan who was about to take the Niwang statue out of the glass cabinet: "On the one hand, the ancient and precious Buddha statues are on the one hand, and on the other hand, if they are easily disturbed, they will surrender. sinful."

"The police department..." Nakamura Yan looked at Mizumayue in embarrassment.

"If the Buddha is disturbed, I will fast, bathe, burn incense and plead guilty. As for now, the search is the main thing." Shui Jianyue politely said to the host Shi Lian: "And I think the kind Bodhisattva will not Resenting people who work hard, right? "Suzumian Yue doesn't know whether the king in the four corners of the room is a Buddha or a bodhisattva, or whether the king is a king, and he doesn't know what to do if he wants to apologize, but he also He didn't intend to apologize at all, because he didn't believe in Buddhism at all...

With the support of the police department, Nakamura Yan felt much more confident, opened the lid of the glass box confidently, and gently held the Niwang statue out.

The bottom of the glass cabinet is also transparent glass, through which you can see the clean tatami below, even because of the glass cover, the tatami below is newer than the next.

Carefully turning over the Niwang statue, Nakamura Yan did not see the mezzanine on the Niwang statue as he wished. Although disappointed, he still restored the Niwang statue, and then walked to the Niwang statue in the other corner without giving up.

"Ah... It seems that the poor monk has to tell the truth." Seeing the police officers in a big fight, Host Shi Lian sighed.

"What's the matter?" Mizumayue looked at your performance quietly, thinking in her heart that An's usual experience, the host definitely didn't want to admit it.

"Actually... there were no female pilgrims visiting at all last night." Shi Lian's host was astonished.

"Master! What are you talking about?" Chuan Nian was completely stunned.

"I said that there were no female pilgrims in the temple last night. You were just chasing after the figure of your long-dead mother." Shi Lian took a sympathetic look at Chuan Nian.

"How...how could it be..." When the host mentioned his mother, Chuannian didn't believe it even more.

This is Kato Kumanobu crept over and stuffed a worry in an evidence bag into Mizumayuki's hand, who was concentrating on watching the performance hosted by Shi Lian, and took it over without even looking at it. By the way He waved his hand away.

"That's how it happened, when you came in a hurry in the morning, I thought it was a woman who got lost at night, so I went to see it when you reported the case, but after seeing nothing, I thought it was you who saw your mother. My phantom, I just took pity on you, and I deceived the police officers by catering to your statement and deceived the police officers that there were indeed female pilgrims, and it was also said that the female pilgrims had left, and now they could not stand the condemnation of their conscience, so they had to tell the truth.” Host Shi Lian looked like Very sad for my apprentice.

Shui Jianyue pouted, and there are two ways to understand this sentence. UU reading www.uukanshu.com can be understood as Chuannian monk misses his deceased mother too much and has hallucinations, or it can be understood as his deceased mother misses too much My own son... well, haunted.

Just when she was disdainful, Mizumayuki lowered her head and glanced at the evidence handed by Kato Kumashin, and almost laughed out loud, feeling that everything in the world is really good-for-nothing.

"This...how is it possible...I clearly...saw a woman...I don't know her...a knife in the abdomen...Blood all over the place..." Chuannian couldn't accept this answer, and kept talking about what he saw.

"Aren't you satisfied yet?" Host Shi Lian looked angry: "Cheer up and apologize to the police officers who worked so hard because of you!"

"Right... I'm sorry." Chuan Nian was completely conditioned reflex, and host Shi Lian apologized immediately after he apologized.

"Don't be in a hurry to apologize..." Mizumayue played with the thing in her hand, "If it's just an illusion according to the host, is this thing the host's unique hobby?"

"This, this, this..." The host was at a loss for words, because Tsuki Mizuma was fiddling with a part of an earring found by the forensics staff from the gap of the tatami.
