Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

"I heard that a monk committed suicide here two years ago, but the scene of the suicide was very strange."

As Gu De spoke, he touched the repaired wooden board.

"what!"

"How...how did you know..."

Kuan Nian immediately confessed without being asked.

[Gain 18 points of emotion from the story character Xiu Nian]

"I only heard about it occasionally."

"I never expected to actually run into him."

Gu De touched the patched-up wooden planks with great interest, and then looked at the beams above the house.

"Sir, is something on your mind?"

Xiu Nian asked, feigning curiosity.

My heart suddenly raced at that moment.

He felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

Most importantly, what he said was definitely related to his brother's death!

"I have some ideas, but I need to think about it further."

Gu De nodded.

Kuan Nian stood to the side, pale-faced. "Please don't discuss these things. Let's leave quickly and go see the cherry blossom waterfall up there."

Xiu Nian opened her mouth as if to say something, but after glancing at Kuan Nian, she had no choice but to stop.

Yukiko Kudo, however, became interested; this kind of exciting thing was right up her alley.

But with so many people here now, let's find another opportunity to ask Gu De tonight...

However, the thought of the possible nighttime outing made her body tremble slightly with excitement.

Similarly, Conan was also secretly watching Gu De's back.

"Did Gu De come here for tourism just for this matter he mentioned?"

"Damn it, why didn't I know about this case before that could have caught Gu De's attention!"

"No, I have to see what's going on!"

Thinking of this, Conan clenched his fist, determined to find an opportunity to get that information out of the monks later!

The group quickly arrived at the top, passed through the corridor leading to the waterfall, and found themselves in a unique landscape against the backdrop of the waterfall and flower petals.

A small window next to the connecting corridor is the same window of the small room below.

Through this small window, you can still see the beam where the monk Zhongnian hanged himself.

"This is it! Isn't it beautiful to see the cherry blossoms cascading down the waterfall?"

Kuan Nian 3717 Qiang 2 Zhuang Xiaoyan.

However, apart from Yukiko Kudo and Ran Mouri, everyone around them was looking at that small window.

Even his junior brother, Xiu Nian, was one of them.

"Alright, let's go a little higher."

Kuan Nian was worried about being scolded by Abbot Tian Yong, so he braced himself and led everyone to continue walking uphill.

"Master Kuan Nian, where is the restroom?"

Gu De had noticed Xiu Nian's unusual behavior long ago and decided to give the kid a chance.

"Ah, over there, just go down these stairs and turn left."

Kuan Nian finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least going to the restroom would allow him to relax a little.

Otherwise, if he keeps bringing up that matter, Abbot Ten'ei won't be happy.

Gu De immediately headed in that direction.

"I am coming too!"

Yukiko Kudo immediately followed, wanting to discuss with Gu De what to do that evening.

They were going to have lunch at the temple soon, and Conan would come back to find him afterward, so now was the only time to discuss things with Gu De.

but.

"Senior brother, I'm also feeling a bit unwell and need to go."

Xiu Nian followed.

When Conan saw that his mother was about to leave the group, he decided to go and ask her. Otherwise, since his mother would be sleeping with Ran at night, he would definitely not have a chance to ask her.

Xiaolan would also look at him with strange eyes.

For a moment, only the Mori father and daughter and the monk Kannen remained standing in place.

Kuan Nian: "???"

What do you mean by going to the restroom as a group?

[Gain 25 units of Kuan Nian's emotional value from the story character].

In Chapter 71, Aunt Yukiko went to see Brother Gu De for counseling.

"Da da da~"

A series of footsteps echoed through the wooden corridor.

When Gu De turned around, he found a string of people following him.

Yukiko Kudo and Shunen were both staring at him expectantly, while Conan deliberately slowed down to follow behind.

"Um, if you're in a hurry, go to the restroom first. I want to go back to that room and take another look."

Gu De was somewhat helpless.

"Then I'll show you the way."

Xiu Nian knew she finally had a chance.

Yukiko Kudo looked annoyed, especially since she could feel Conan's gaze behind her; she couldn't possibly chase after him.

I had no choice but to pretend to go to the restroom as planned.

But then I thought about how Conan was right next door tonight.

I feel a bit excited...

"squeak~"

The door to the meditation room was pushed open again.

Gu De walked in, followed by the short Xiu Nian.

"Did you...did you see something?"

"About that matter from before?"

Xiu Nian lowered her voice and asked nervously.

Gu De knocked on the thick wall. "Master Xiu Nian, Abbot Tian Yong said that you've only been here for about a year. Why are you so concerned about that matter?"

Gu De glanced outside to make sure no one was eavesdropping.

"Because...because that monk Zhongnian who hanged himself here is related to me!"

Xiu Nian said, disregarding everything else.

I've been here for over a year now, and apart from knowing everyone's hobbies in the temple and that Abbot Tianyong likes to look at bikini-clad women, I haven't gained anything else.

But my brother would never commit suicide!

“Really? Master Xiu Nian, actually I just realized that case is unlikely to be a suicide.”

"Or rather, even in the case of suicide, there were people who helped the monk Zhongnian who was attempting suicide at the time!"

Xiu Nian suddenly looked up.

"Impossible! My brother couldn't have committed suicide!"

Followed by.

"Thump~" He knelt down on the ground, looking at Gu De with tears in his eyes.

"Please, you must tell me, tell me what you're thinking."

[Gain 29 points of emotion from the story character Xiu Nian]

Gu De didn't say much this time, and began to explain to Xiu Nian the method of hanging people from the beam.

"First, seal this room, find a floating object to place the body on, and then start drawing waterfall water in through the small window above."

“Wait until the water level in the room gradually rises to the beam, then hang the corpse or a living person up, and then climb out of the small window to get here.”

As he spoke, Gu De pointed to the wall that had been added later.

“They used an axe or similar tool to chop this place down from the outside.”

Xiu Nian stared in disbelief at that spot, opened her mouth, and then hesitated before saying:

“But…but sir, I don’t mean to offend you, but this wall is very difficult to work on.”

"According to my fellow disciples Tun Nian and Mu Nian, the carpenter we hired said that there is no day when we cannot dig this place open."

Gu De smiled and said, "No need to worry. This room is so high up, once it's full of water, the water pressure will be very high. Just one swing of the axe will be enough to create a breach in the water pressure, and then..."

At this point, he made an explosion gesture with his hand.

Xiu Nian lowered her head, "There is indeed a rubber boat in the temple..."

The voice was deep, as if something had appeared at that moment.
