Ke Xue: The Yellow-haired Detective

Hattori Heiji said: "If that's the case, I have to go. Do you have any objections?"

Hattori Heiji looked at the other three people. Hattori Heiji had already said this. What other opinions could the other three have?

So, the group of people came to the temple where Shijiu was.The temple is called Yishinji Temple and is located near the north entrance of the park.

When the abbot of the temple saw the guests coming, he greeted them. After hearing the purpose of their arrival, the abbot of the temple greeted them.

The abbot glanced at Shijiu with a faint look, and then said: "Okay! Since Detective Hattori wants to check out the cannibal room, I will take you to see it myself!"

"A house that eats, eats people." Heye became frightened when he heard the sound, and involuntarily leaned towards Hattori Heiji.However, Hattori Heiji was only thinking about how to solve the case and ignored Kazuo, who had no choice but to lean on Lin Xiaofan.

Lin Xiaofan is also very innocent.He really didn't want to poach Hattori Heiji.However, Hattori Heiji sending a girl as a gift is too straightforward.

Seeing this, Shizuka Hattori did not forget to warn Lin Xiaofan: "Xiaofan, you have to keep your distance from Heye."

Lin Xiaofan was speechless, he couldn't just push Yuan Shan and Ye away.

Yuan Shan and Ye suddenly discovered that Lin Xiaofan had been holding Aunt Jinghua's hand and wouldn't let go!

"Xiaofan, you've been holding Aunt Jinghua's hand...what do you mean?"

"Aunt Jinghua is scared."

"I'm scared too."

"Then you hold my hand too."

"Aunt Jinghua, isn't she jealous?"

"How can she be jealous?"

Lin Xiaofan chuckled and took the initiative to hold Yuan Shan and Ye's hands.

Hattori Shizuka saw this and felt angry in his heart, but he couldn't get angry.

Lin Xiaofan's left hand is Shizuka Hattori, and his right hand is Toyama Kazuha. Don't be too happy.

Hattori Heiji didn't care at all about the little actions of Lin Xiaofan, his mother, and his childhood sweetheart. He focused on the case.As a detective, he is more dedicated than Lin Xiaofan, and Lin Xiaofan feels inferior to him.

Hattori Heiji didn't believe the story of the cannibal house at all, so he asked for details carefully.

The abbot said with an incomprehensible expression: "There was obviously no one in the room, but Shijiu said that someone was there. Moreover, the man was killed and his body disappeared. If the house didn't eat the man, how else could he explain it?"

"Abbott, you must have secretly disposed of the body!"

Hattori Heiji said.

The other three people became even more frightened when they heard what Hattori Heiji said. There was a murderer among the monks in this temple.

If a monk commits murder in a temple, he is violating the five fundamental precepts of killing, stealing, sexual intercourse, drinking, and drinking. Buddhas and Bodhisattvas will also be angry!

Hattori Heiji continued: "Then, host, please take us to the wing where the accident happened."

"plz follow me."

The host led everyone and walked for a long time before reaching their destination.

It was a wooden wing, and at first glance it looked like a very old house.

The abbot explained: "This wing has a history of more than 50 years. Living in this wing, you can also enjoy the scenery of the sea. It is said that the reason why the abbot built the wing here was for this scenery. In fact, It has indeed attracted many pilgrims to come and stay. However, it has been a lot depressed in recent years and has not been used for a long time.”

After saying that, the host led everyone into the room.

The abbot continued: "There are four 44 rooms here, each room is about 8 tatami in size."

He then led the person into one of the side rooms and said, "Okay, this is it. Shi Jiu said he was the corpse he saw in this room!"

The room is entirely covered with tatami mats. As the abbot said, there are eight tatami mats in total. There are no furnishings in the room, except for a Buddha statue in a transparent glass box in the corner.

"That's...Nioh!" Heye said looking at the Buddha statue.

Hattori Heiji turned around and said: "Idiot, how can there be a nio in the temple? This is Tawen Tenwang."

Then, Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha holding Lin Xiaofan's hand and couldn't help but wonder: "Kazuye, why are you holding Lin Xiaofan's hand?"

Yuan Shan and Ye retorted: "Auntie has been holding Lin Xiaofan's hand, why can't I."

Hattori Heiji became even more confused and looked at his mother: "Mom, what are you doing?"

Hattori Jinghua said: "I'm afraid, can't I?"

Hattori Heiji looked unbelieving, it was completely impossible that his mother would be scared.

Lin Xiaofan said: "That's it. Your mother and Miss Yuanshan were scared, so they got closer to me. I'm a boy. Leave your mother and Miss Yuanshan to me, and you concentrate on solving the case and don't worry about us?"

Hattori Heiji curled his lips, ignored the three of them, and continued to ask the abbot about the details of the case.

111. Hattori Heiji lost his mother to Lin Xiaofan

The abbot said: "There is a Buddha statue in each of the four rooms in the wing. The room facing north is the king of Taowen; the one facing west is the king of Guangmu; the one facing south is the king of growth; the one facing south is the king of growth; To the north is the king of Dhritarashtra.”

While observing the room, Hattori Heiji asked: "Shijiu, where was the body probably at that time?"

"It's near the top right!"

Shijiu immediately pointed to a place and replied.

After hearing this, Hattori Heiji quickly came to the upper right side of the tatami. He opened the tatami but did not see anything suspicious. There was no case of turning it over to cover up the blood stains.

Then, Hattori Heiji found an earring dropped in the corner. He immediately put on his gloves and picked it up.

Hattori Heiji straightened his baseball cap, and a smile appeared on his lips: "Lin Xiaofan, do you want us to compete to see who discovers the truth about this incident first?"

Lin Xiaofan said: "Cracking crimes is not a game, it is a very serious matter. I am not very interested in this kind of competition."

Hearing this, Hattori Heiji suddenly looked listless: "Lin Xiaofan, you are too serious. What does it have to do with it? It's just a murder case. It happens every day. What's the big deal?"

At this time, Hattori Jinghua said: "Lin Xiaofan, I think you and Hattori Heiji might as well give it a try."

Hattori Heiji's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, yes!"

Lin Xiaofan said helplessly: "Since Aunt Jinghua said so..."

Shizuka Hattori continued: "Just a competition, how can we do it without winning?"

Hattori Heiji looked at his mother and asked doubtfully: "Lottery? Mom, what do you mean?"

Hattori Jinghua said: "If Heiji wins, Lin Xiaofan, you have to promise me something."

Lin Xiaofan said: "What if I win?"

Hattori Jinghua said: "Then let Heiji promise you something."

Hattori Heiji immediately denied: "No, no, I have become the one who was taken advantage of. I won, and Lin Xiaofan promised me one thing, which is enough."

Hattori Shizuka glared at Hattori Heiji fiercely and said, "Heiji, shut up and listen to your mother, that's right!"

Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes at his mother and said in a dazed manner: "Okay. I'm the winner anyway, so I'll just satisfy my mother's wish."

Lin Xiaofan said: "I also think this is unfair. Since I lost to Heiji, I have to agree to Aunt Jinghua's request. Then, if I win, Aunt Jinghua should agree to my request. This is only fair. .”

Hattori Heiji was overjoyed: "Lin Xiaofan, you are right, you are indeed my good brother."

Hattori Jinghua did not answer Lin Xiaofan's words, but asked Hattori Heiji: "Heiji, I just saw you wearing your baseball cap straight. Have you really solved this incident?"

Hattori Heiji said confidently: "Mom, don't worry, my son will never cheat you. However, I am quite curious, mom, what request do you want Lin Xiaofan to agree to?"

Hattori Shizuka replied: "You don't have to worry about it."

Then, Shizuka Hattori said to Lin Xiaofan, "Okay. It's a deal."

Yuan Shan and Ye were stunned for a moment, not understanding what was going on.Aunt Jinghua has changed so much that she can't understand it.

Lin Xiaofan let go of the two women's hands, came to the Buddha statue in the corner, reached out and opened the glass cover containing the Buddha statue.

However, the abbot suddenly reminded: "Donor, please be careful, you can touch it with your hands, but don't break it!"

The abbot put his hands together and explained: "That Buddha statue is a precious thing passed down from generation to generation in our temple. Although it is not expensive, it represents the culture of our temple!"

Lin Xiaofan nodded and put the lid back.

Then he looked around again and had an idea in his mind.

Lin Xiaofan smiled confidently at Hattori Heiji: "I have completed the investigation, Heiji, you first tell the truth you know."

"Just what I wanted!" Hattori Heiji smiled softly and took out an earring with a confident look on his face.

"I found this buckle in the gap of the tatami when I checked the tatami before! In other words, the female guest did exist and lived here."

Shijiu looked energetic and said: "The female pilgrim I saw three days ago was... wearing earrings!"

Hattori Heiji turned his attention to the host: "Host, what do you have to say? You are obviously lying!"

Hearing this, the abbot looked into Hattori Heiji's eyes and said quietly: "What the donor said is wrong. I know the origin of the earrings. It's just that the earrings were not left by female pilgrims, but by my two apprentices who left the temple some time ago. of!"

"Eh? Are they my two senior brothers?"

Shijiu looked at the abbot in surprise.

The abbot explained: "I said before that my two apprentices were not very adaptable to the life in the temple. They always went outside to have fun at night. In order to conceal their identities, they would wear wigs and earrings. Wear fashionable clothes and dress up like ordinary young people. I think those earrings should be left by them!"

Hattori Heiji couldn't wait to look at Shijiu and confirmed: "Is that what the abbot said?"

Master Jiu pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Yes, and my two senior brothers often brought things to this wing to eat and drink. After the matter was exposed, they were scolded by the master, so maybe... they really dropped it. !”

Hattori Heiji fell into deep thought and murmured: "Could it be that Shijiu is really hallucinating?"

Seeing that Hattori Heiji had no choice, Hattori Shizuka felt uneasy, fearing that Lin Xiaofan would beat Hattori Heiji to find out the truth.

However, the more you don’t want something to happen, the more likely it will happen.

Lin Xiaofan said: "Okay, let me tell you the truth I found."

Hattori Heiji asked: "Lin Xiaofan, the truth you said is... that Monk Shijiu was not an illusion and was indeed a murder?"

Lin Xiaofan said: "Yes, what Monk Shijiu saw was not an illusion. Someone was indeed dead in this house. However, whether it was a homicide or not is another matter."

The host said harshly: "The donor is joking, there are no female pilgrims in this wing at all."

Lin Xiaofan ignored the host and gave Hattori Shizuka a seemingly meaningful smile.

Facing Lin Xiaofan's smile, Hattori Shizuka was panicked. She didn't know what Lin Xiaofan would ask her to do if he won. She was very panicked.

Lin Xiaofan said: "First of all, I can tell you with certainty that what little master Shijiu saw is absolutely true, and the blood stains on the corpses are indeed there! As for how to make them disappear..."

Lin Xiaofan looked at the abbot: "Abbot, I remember you said before that the two monks who left the temple not long ago often come to the wing to eat and drink secretly, right?"

The abbot said solemnly: "That's right! They broke the temple rules and often secretly smoke, drink and eat meat here."

Lin Xiaofan said: "Smoking, eating, drinking, doing these things will inevitably leave some traces on the tatami, such as burn marks from cigarette butts, oil stains, debris... However, there are no traces on the tatami."

"This..." The host was stunned, not knowing how to explain.

Lin Xiaofan continued: "This shows that in order not to be discovered by the host, they have a way to cover up their traces!"

Hattori Heiji also thought of this possibility, but he did not solve the method. He asked in surprise: "Lin Xiaofan, have you solved the method of hiding blood stains?"

"Yes." Lin Xiaofan smiled confidently, "And the person who discovered this method did not expose it. Instead, he used this method to make the blood stains like those on the tatami disappear out of thin air!"

Shijiu asked eagerly: "Donor, what method do you propose?"

Lin Xiaofan slowly stretched out his hand and pointed to the glass box containing the Buddha statue in the corner, and said: "Just use it!"

"Buddha statue?" Everyone was surprised.

Hattori Jinghua, who was on the side, was afraid that Lin Xiaofan had really revealed the truth, so he couldn't help but retort: ​​"Lin Xiaofan, don't be ridiculous. The box is clearly made of glass, and the bottom is also glass. It's clear what the tatami looks like underneath. Isn’t it?”

Lin Xiaofan said: "But what if a layer of fabric like a tatami is pasted on the base of the glass?"

"Eh?"

Hattori Jinghua's eyes widened, as if some inspiration suddenly appeared in her mind. However, she still questioned aloud, saying: "But such a simple thing is too easy to be discovered! When the police come to search, they only need to hold When I opened the box and took a look, wouldn't it be exposed? They should have checked it at that time!"

"No!" Lin Xiaofan shook his head slightly after hearing this, "Aunt Jinghua, do you still remember what the abbot said before?"

Hattori Heiji said: "I remember, Lin Xiaofan, you opened the cover of the Buddha statue and wanted to check it out. At that time, the abbot told you that this was a treasure inherited from their temple, and asked you to be careful not to damage it!"

Lin Xiaofan looked like a child who could be taught, and continued: "I wanted to see what was going on underneath through the glass base. I subconsciously wanted to move the Buddha statue to check, and I realized something was wrong."

Hattori Jinghua continued to retort: ​​"The blood stains you said were covered by the box, but according to the arrangement of the tatami mats and the Buddha statues in the four rooms 44, the Buddha statues can only cover the upper right and lower left sides of the tatami mats. But this morning, Master Shijiu clearly said that the deceased was lying in the middle of the room, and assuming you said that in order to cover up the blood stains, only one of the four corners of the tatami was stained with blood, then you would need four tatami mats arranged together! Regardless of those four Should the tatami be placed horizontally or vertically, and how to cover up the blood-stained lower right and upper left tatami?"

Hattori Jinghua spoke eloquently and stared at Lin Xiaofan closely. However, when she found that Lin Xiaofan didn't feel nervous at all after she finished speaking, her heart sank.

"It's very simple! There is another way to place it that Aunt Jinghua didn't think of!"

Lin Xiaofan approached Shizuka Hattori and raised her hand holding the windmill.

Hattori Jinghua looked stunned: "Windmill?"
