Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 134 How could a car accident happen in a place like this!

It is an indisputable fact that Xiu Nian is the murderer, and that Xia Chuan and Conan happened to witness her plotting the crime. Now that Xiu Nian is dead, the case is considered closed.

The only remaining question was Xiu Nian's motive for killing him. After the police officers reported back, Xiu Nian's motive for killing Abbot Tian Yong was also found.

"So, Monk Shuten is the younger brother of Monk Chūnen, who died two years ago, is that correct?" Inspector Megure confirmed with the officer again.

The officer nodded and continued, "According to Detective Mori, Tadane was killed by Abbot Ten'ei, so Shuten's goal should be revenge, but it's unclear how he knew Abbot Ten'ei's previous methods of committing crimes."

“That’s right!” Conan suddenly interjected, then began his own deduction:

"From the past few decades to the present, there have been three cases of murder by the 'Misty Dog' at Shanni Temple."

The first incident was the death of Monk Tianfu more than 20 years ago; the second incident was the death of Monk Zhongnian two years ago.

The two cases had only one point of intersection: Tianyong presided over both cases, and Tianyong was the only one who personally experienced both cases.

Moreover, he had sufficient motives for both crimes. The first motive was to compete for the hosting position, and the second was to separate his granddaughter and Zhongnian.

As for this third time, just as the police officer said, Master Xiu Nian came to seek revenge.

As for how Master Xiu Nian was certain it was related to Monk Tian Yong, it might be related to what Sister Hongzi said yesterday.

After saying that, Conan innocently turned around and looked at Kogoro Mouri: "Is that how it is, Uncle Mouri?"

"Hahaha, yes, yes, Inspector Megure, what Conan said is exactly what I wanted to say. This little guy is really quite good!" Kogoro Mouri laughed heartily, as if he were the one who was still working on deductions at three o'clock in the morning.

"Alright then." Inspector Megure waved his hand, some mysterious force preventing him from asking who Akako was; it was good that the case was solved.

"However, Mori shouldn't let Conan go to the scene next time. Look, his clothes are stained with blood. Besides, kids don't know their own strength and can easily mess up the scene."

Xia Chuan:.
Inspector Megure really doesn't know his own limitations. With the Metropolitan Police Department's current methods of solving cases, without Conan, they would be catching the wrong culprit every day.

"Conan is still very well-behaved. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have noticed that Shunen was preparing to attribute Ten'ei's death to the Tengu."

Conan shed tears of emotion. What a kind person!
The case at Shanni Temple was closed early because it was discovered ahead of schedule.

The former murderer and the current murderer both suffered heavy losses and perished together.

The three remaining young monks hastily finished taking notes and began vying for the position of abbot.

Xia Chuan didn't know the specifics, nor was he interested in knowing them. The group of six packed their things and prepared to return to Tokyo.

Because of Sherry, Natsukawa also had to go to Shirahagi Pharmaceuticals, so Anya's hot spring trip was canceled.

However, Anya did not make a fuss.

It wasn't because she was obedient, but because of the matter of learning magic. She was still a little afraid to speak, only hoping that her father would treat her like air and not think about making her a magic apprentice.

The profession of witch is not suitable for her.

After Inspector Megure solved the case, Koizumi Akako hurriedly left, taking the Tengu mask with her.

Seeing how hurriedly they left, Xia Chuan felt something was off.

This case has absolutely nothing to do with Koizumi Akako, and being a witch isn't illegal, so why is she running away so fast?
This question was finally answered at the parking lot.

"Who is it!" Kogoro Mouri's voice echoed throughout the entire mountain, a mixture of anger and grief. He knelt on the ground, burying his face in his hands, tears streaming down his face. The good mood he had just gotten from solving the case vanished completely. Want Want Little Crispy Pastry?
Natsukawa turned around in confusion and looked at Kogoro Mouri kneeling next to the trunk of the Mercedes. Conan and Ran behind him also looked strange. What happened?
"What's wrong, uncle?"

As he got closer, before he could even see what was going on, Xia Chuan felt himself step on something hard. He looked down and saw...
Mercedes-Benz logo
Good heavens! I thought that not being driven by Uncle Mori would have prevented me from getting a flat tire, but now it seems that fate's counterattack is a bit terrifying! The rear emblem has even fallen off.

He couldn't help but recall the loud noise he had heard on his way to Shanni Temple the previous night.

Natsukawa quickened his pace and caught up with Kogoro Mouri from behind.

The Mercedes-Benz's rear license plate area was badly dented, the emblem was missing, the taillights were shattered, and the exhaust pipe was bent to one side.

Xia Chuan stepped forward and gently touched the deformed trunk.

boom!
The entire trunk suddenly sprang up, almost hitting Xia Chuan in the face. Luckily, he reacted quickly and bent backward, otherwise his chin would probably have been hit.

"How could a car accident happen in a place like this!"

Xia Chuan looked at the ground behind the Mercedes with suspicion and uncertainty.

"There must have been other cars parked here before." Conan observed carefully, trying to find clues about the hit-and-run driver.

There were some broken pieces of glass on the ground, which looked like pieces of glass from a car headlight, indicating that it was a rear-end collision.

Uh, this is
"Hey, Uncle Mori, there seems to be a piece of paper here." Conan ran to Natsukawa's side and reached into the trunk to take out a piece of paper.

"Conan!" Ran called softly. Her father was in a bad mood at the moment, and Conan would only be asking for a beating if he went up to him.

Sure enough, with a "bang," Conan ducked down and rolled to the side to avoid danger.

Xia Chuan took the paper from Conan's hand.

"Who could it be? I just picked up my Mercedes, and the emblem is all gone!" Kogoro Mori cried out in anguish.

Although the Hiramoto Foundation will cover the repair costs for free, the damage is so severe that it clearly requires major repairs—it's a brand new car! Who can accept this?

“Uncle Mori, this looks like a check!” Xia Chuan examined it carefully and counted the zeros: “This is a check for twenty million.”

"What?!" Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened as he snatched the check and carefully examined the amount.

After a long while, he suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha, now that's how it is, it doesn't seem so painful anymore."

The repair costs will be covered by the Yabumoto Group, and the person who caused the accident left a check for 20 million. This money is practically free; only a fool wouldn't understand the importance of this.

Kogoro Mouri, the master of face-changing, was in a much better mood, but getting home was a bit of a hassle, as his car was now in such a state that it was definitely unusable.

Fortunately, Inspector Megure hasn't left yet, so I can still go home, but I'll have to use his old face a bit.

Natsukawa finally understood why Koizumi Akako had that expression earlier; she was probably the one who crashed into the Mercedes.

However, the witch travels by car instead of broom. Could it be that she took the broom to the magic broom shop for maintenance?

Also, Koizumi Akako is seventeen years old, right? She shouldn't have a driver's license at that age, no wonder she walked in such a hurry, and she hesitated when I asked her questions.
