Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

In reality, what we call command or leadership is simply taking responsibility.

When everyone else is backing down, if you stand at the forefront, you will naturally become the leader.

After another period of waiting, Inspector Megure arrived with a group of officers.

"The deceased was Abbot Tianyong, and the estimated time of death was between 10 PM and midnight last night. The first person to discover the body was the monk Kuannian, who was practicing in the temple. Are all of these correct?"

Inspector Megure recounted the basic situation.

Kogoro Mouri nodded in agreement, saying, "That's right, that's exactly how it is, Inspector Megure."

Inspector Megure chuckled, "Hey Mori, how come you always seem to be there whenever a murder occurs?"

Kogoro Mouri chuckled. There was really no way to explain this. It could only be because his reputation as a famous detective was just too strong.

However, Inspector Megure immediately spotted Miyazaki Yu in the crowd, and his eyes lit up.

Although Mori has certainly lived up to his reputation as a great detective these days, he still makes some wrong judgments many times. Only when he is asleep can he make accurate judgments.

Miyazaki Yu, on the other hand, is different. Not only is he a great swordsman with super combat power, but he also has an exceptionally sharp mind and judgment, and his strength is in no way inferior to that of the famous detective.

This case is even more complicated than the previous golf course bombing case, because he was also the one leading the team that handled the previous case of the death of monk Zhong Nian.

Although some doubts remained, it was later classified as a suicide, which left a lingering resentment in his heart.

So when he saw Miyazaki Hayao there, his eyes lit up.

"Miyazaki, you're here too! That's great! Come and take a look. There are a lot of illogical things about this case."

Miyazaki Yu did not refuse; he also wanted to end the incident as soon as possible.

"Inspector Megure must have already realized that what's puzzling about the whole case is a few things that are beyond human control."

First, regarding the manner of death, the body of the deceased, Tian Yong, was hanging from the roof, more than ten meters high. Unless he carefully climbed over the beam of the small window, tied the rope securely, and put it around his neck, it would be very difficult to cause this through external force.

The police officer on the roof chimed in at this moment: "Mr. Miyazaki is right. That's exactly right. The beam is very narrow, only wide enough for one person to carefully climb over. It's impossible to bring anyone over."

Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly: "And then there's this big hole, Uncle Mori mentioned it before, right?"

Kogoro Mouri, who was listening with great interest, was taken aback.

Miyazaki Yu continued, "Didn't Uncle Mori say that it's almost impossible to make such a big hole in the wall by manpower alone, unless there is a strong pressure from the inside that can create such a mark?"

However, I don't think this is a difficult thing for me.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat.

He thought to himself, "You're probably not even human anymore, are you?"

Inspector Megure continued, "What you said makes a lot of sense. That means that apart from suicide, there seems to be no other possibility."

Miyazaki Yu continued, "Inspector Megure, don't rush. Now let's talk about the second incredible thing, which is the hole in the wall."

According to Master Kuan Nian, it would take a whole day to fix such a large hole in this way, which is beyond the realm of common sense.

Monk Kuan Nian was somewhat agitated: "That's right, that's exactly it! Using unparalleled power, he broke a hole in the wall and suspended a person's weight high in the air. Only the elusive Tengu could do that!"

Miyazaki Yu shook his head: "Your thinking is wrong. What the Tengu can do in this world, real humans can also do."

Kuan Nian paused for a moment: "Mr. Miyazaki... that's true. Perhaps a powerful expert like yourself could also do it!"

Miyazaki Yu laughed and said, "I can certainly do it easily. Even with the weight of a person, I can easily suspend a person's body in mid-air. But even ordinary people can do it with the help of some tools."

Hearing him say this, everyone was invigorated.

Conan, in particular, felt a pang of envy. He had only just begun to make some progress, and this guy had already discovered the truth?

Is becoming a martial arts master a necessary condition for enhancing detective abilities?

If that's the case, then perhaps I should find a martial art to learn.

"In fact, the reason why people can't think of many things is because they are bound by fixed ways of thinking. Take this murder case, for example. Everyone thinks about how human power can accomplish all sorts of incredible things. If we turn our thinking away from human power, we will think of the ancient legend of the Tengu. But we have not thought that the power of nature is truly great. Once a person uses the power of nature, even an ordinary person can do amazing things."

Seeing the curious looks on everyone's faces, he continued speaking.

"Many mysteries are actually magic tricks. Once they are revealed, they are not worth mentioning. The room is not large in area, but it is very tall. It can be regarded as a cuboid, and the small window at the top can be regarded as a water inlet."

If a certain tool is used, the water from the waterfall, which is almost within reach, can be guided from above the waterfall into this room.

"Direct the water flow into the room!"

"They actually managed to do that!"

Everyone was surprised that this could be done, and after thinking about it carefully, they felt it was even more possible!

Kogoro Mouri clapped his hands and said, "That's right, this is the most likely method. As long as we guide the water into this room, and then use a tool that can float in the water, we can keep the body dry while the room is filled with water, and also hang the person high on the roof!"

His gaze suddenly sharpened as he scanned the monks.

"Besides, I remember very clearly that you said there were rubber boats in this temple!"

Please subscribe, please do anything!!

Chapter 263 A Heartbreaking Ending

"A rubber boat? If that's the case, it's quite possible. Gentlemen, could you find the rubber boats in your temple and show them to us?"

Kuan Nian nodded and led Monk Tun Nian to the warehouse, where they quickly retrieved the rubber boat.

Upon seeing the rubber boat, everyone's expressions became somewhat knowing.

The rubber boat still smelled damp. Even a fool could tell that Miyazaki Yu's method was clearly correct.

Someone took advantage of this special room, turning it into a unique secret chamber, and successfully carried out a very terrifying thing within it.

"I knew it! Someone really did use this method. Miyazaki, you're really something."

Miyazaki Yu smiled slightly: "I have to say, this method is very ingenious, and it also fits the legend of the Tengu. It attempts to lead everyone astray, so it is quite impressive. However, with a famous detective like Uncle Mori around, it's only a matter of time before it is solved."

"Hahaha, Miyazaki, you're absolutely right. Once a famous detective like me takes action, I will never let the murderer get away."

Inspector Megure said, "Miyazaki, even so, there are still some problems that haven't been solved. First, there's the issue of this large hole, and second, who exactly is the murderer?"

Miyazaki Yu nodded: "I already know the identity of the murderer. As for the hole, I will explain it to everyone now."

As mentioned before, someone used the waterfall last night to fill this room with water, and the small window that was originally there was naturally blocked.

Now we need to calculate the volume of the entire room after it is filled with water. Let's assume the area of ​​the entire room is 4.5 tatami mats, which is a square with a side length of 2.7 meters, and the height of the room is about 10 meters.

Once filled with water, the total volume of water in the room will be 2.7 × 2.7 × 10, or 72.9 cubic meters. Since water has a specific gravity of 1, this means the room will contain approximately 72.9 tons of water, or even more.

Hearing this, Ai Haibara said, "So the pressure on the bottom of the entire room will be terrifying, especially near that small window. If someone outside uses a sharp weapon to chop it down heavily, the small window will be torn to shreds instantly. Is that a fair understanding?"

Miyazaki Yu reached out and patted the little girl's head, which earned her a roll of her eyes.

"That's right, that's the principle. The huge impact force will tear the small window apart, which will create the hole you see now."

As for the murderer's identity, Master Xiu Nian, do you want me to continue?

"It's Xiu Nian? How could that be?"

Kuan Nian and the others were shocked. How could Xiu Nian, who seemed honest and dull, be the murderer who killed the host?

Just then, a girl rushed over and grabbed Xiu Nian's clothes.

"It's Kikuno-san!"

Seeing everyone's expressions, Kuan Nian explained, "Miss Kikuno is the abbot's granddaughter. She used to come to the temple often, but she hasn't come since she got married."

At that moment, a tall young monk rushed over, following closely behind Kikuno, and grabbed Kikuno in front of the mountain.

"Kikuno, don't be impulsive. We just heard the reasoning. This person may not necessarily be the murderer."

Kikuno shouted angrily, "Why? Why did you kill my grandfather?!"

Xiu Nian sighed: "Mr. Miyazaki, what you just said only proves that I am one of the suspects, but it doesn't mean that I am the murderer, right?"

Miyazaki Yu smiled faintly: "You're right, but I can conclude that you are the murderer. The reason is simple: the time of the presiding officer's death was between 10:00 and 12:00 yesterday, and the body was discovered around 8:00 this morning."

This trap looks simple, but it takes a lot of time. Filling the water takes several hours, and wiping the floor and removing all traces of water takes time. In other words, the murderer obviously stayed here all night.

You've been yawning constantly since before, and you look extremely tired, which is the most direct evidence of that.

As for the evidence to identify you, you probably used duct tape to seal the small window, right? If you send someone down the mountain to search, they'll definitely find the remains of the small window, and the duct tape residue will definitely have your fingerprints on it. Do you want me to continue?

"Puff-"

Xiu Nian collapsed to the ground, his face full of dejection. His mental defenses had clearly been completely broken!

"It really is you, it really is you, Xiu Nian! Why did you do this?!"

The other disciples stared at Xiu Nian in disbelief. They found it hard to believe that someone who seemed so honest and kind could actually kill someone, and do so in such a clever way.

Kikuno exerted all her strength again, glaring fiercely at Shuen as if she were possessed.

"Why did you do this? Tell me!"

Xiu Nian gritted her teeth and pushed the girl's hand away.

"Why? Of course, it's for revenge! Two years ago, this old guy used the same method to hang Zhong Nian, my brother, in this very room!"

In order to investigate the cause of my brother's death, I came to this temple through the introduction of a distant relative. However, a long time has passed, and I have only found some clues and gradually figured out the method, but I still don't know who the murderer is.

Until last night, when Detective Mouri and Mr. Miyazaki arrived here, he mentioned the Tengu with a very peculiar expression.

So I struck while the iron was hot and went to the host's room last night to drink with him. While he was drunk, he actually spilled everything!

"Impossible! You're talking nonsense! Zhong Nian couldn't have been killed by Grandpa!"

He looked at Kikuno with a mocking gaze.

"Miss Kikuno, stop deceiving yourself. Even now, don't you understand why the abbot would kill his own disciple? The reason lies with you!"

You and Zhong Nian have always been very close, but your grandfather had already arranged a marriage for you with him, the heir to a large temple!

Zhong Nian became an obstacle to his plans, which is why he did this!

The girl trembled, tears welled up in her eyes, and she swayed. Her husband quickly caught her and took her away from there, his face showing a hint of loneliness.

I never expected things to turn out this way, and it also involves so much love, hate and grudges.

Miyazaki Yu also sighed slightly. This matter was indeed regrettable, but the monk deserved what he got.

What happened after that was entirely the police's responsibility.

Inspector Megure also breathed a sigh of relief. Cases like this are the most troublesome for the police. Every unsolved case is a challenge to the police's authority.
