Ke Xuezhen, starting with hypnotizing Vermouth.

He gripped the floor tightly, his body trembling as if he were crying.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Gu De, and I am a psychologist."

"Gu De said slowly."

"Mr. Gu De, can you help me?"

Xiu Nian suddenly looked up.

He finally remembered the person in front of him. Wasn't this the hero who bravely rescued the hostages and stopped the criminals in the library?

Asking him for help is definitely the right thing to do!

……

Yukiko Kudo walked out of the restroom with some trepidation, only to find that her son, Shinichi Kudo, or rather Conan, was indeed waiting for her!

"Aunt Yukiko... Sister, what a coincidence."

Conan looked completely obedient.

Yukiko Kudo was indeed a little nervous for a moment, but after all, she was an actress who had won top awards, and she calmed down in a few breaths.

"Conan, what do you want?"

Conan looked around, and after confirming that no one was around, his old face fell: "Mom, what are you doing here?"

"Of course I'm out having fun. Your dad in the US does nothing but write novels and socialize all day."

"I want to have my own life!"

"I want to have my own hobbies too!"

"My son in Japan doesn't play with me, so of course I have to come out!"

Yukiko Kudo deliberately put on a resentful expression and took the initiative to attack.

Conan's expression froze, and the question he was about to ask got stuck in his throat.

"Mom, I'm just here for a visit. You can't expect me to stay home every day, can you?"

"Besides, I can't be with you, because that would affect your safety."

"My mother is really... really... sob sob..."

At this point, Yukiko Kudo actually started crying.

Conan quickly comforted him.

It took Kudo Yukiko quite a while to go from crying to laughing.

"But Mr. Mori is quite good to you, he always takes you out to play, which makes Mom a little more at ease..."

Yukiko Kudo, with tears in her eyes, looked at Conan and said...

"That uncle was actually alright."

"Let's go back first. I wonder what Gu De knows?"

"Staying here too long will definitely arouse suspicion!"

Conan made a move to lead the way back, but was stopped by Yukiko Kudo, who had a half-smile on her face.

"Are you referring to Xiaolan when you say you have doubts?"

Unexpectedly, these words made Conan's face instantly turn bitter.

"what happened?"

Yukiko Kudo suddenly panicked; it was the first time she had ever seen such an expression on her son's face!

"Could something have happened to Xiaolan?"

Conan looked at his mother's curious yet worried face and shook his head: "It's not just Ran... I was completely outmatched in my duel with Mr. Gu De."

"Mr. Gu De is really strong!"

Very strong?

Yukiko Kudo blushed subconsciously; she was indeed very strong…

My own husband is nowhere near as good as him...

"And now it seems that Xiaolan is also getting very close to Mr. Gu De!"

Conan sighed, unwilling to discuss the topic any further.

Yukiko Kudo fell silent. Why are Ran and Gu De so close?

She suddenly remembered that when the host appeared earlier, Xiao Lan, who seemed frightened, also hugged Gu De!

It seems something really isn't right...

Do Kogoro Mouri and Eri Kisaki know about this?

And... even though I know I'm just Gu De's playmate, I still feel a little sour.

Yukiko Kudo shook her head vigorously: "Forget it, Shinichi is still young, it's normal for him to have wild thoughts!"

"Besides, Gu De was the only person with Xiao Lan at the time, so it's understandable that she reacted that way out of fear!"

Both of them walked back in silence.

They happened to run into Gu De and Xiu Nian, who were coming out of that small meditation room.

Xiu Nian had some marks on her freckled face, but before Kudo Yukiko and Conan could figure out what they were, Xiu Nian quickly wiped them clean.

"So you've been here. Dinner's ready!"

The chubby, dark-skinned monk, Tun Nian, waved from the other side of the connecting corridor.

His voice was loud because of the roar of the waterfall.

The four responded and quickly followed.

Dining hall.

"I didn't expect you guys would still have time to go out and have fun!"

Ran Mouri looked excitedly at the monks in front of her.

Clearly, after listening to Kuan Nian's introduction, life at the temple was far beyond what Ran Mouri had originally imagined.

"Yes, we'll take rubber boats to the beach."

"Our hosts love seeing beautiful women in bikinis the most!"

The monk Kuan Nian was speaking with great enthusiasm.

"Don't say things you shouldn't say!"

Abbot Tianyong blushed and immediately began to reprimand him.

The dining hall returned to silence.

"Um, actually, I've been wanting to ask you all this time, what exactly is that thing you're talking about?"

Conan looked at Monk Kuan Nian.

He wanted to know more about what had happened in that meditation hut and why Gu De knew about it.

Abbot Tenyō frowned, and combined with his full beard, he instantly looked like a monster.

"Actually... I let it slip..."

Kuan Nian lowered his head, feeling somewhat ashamed.

Abbot Tianyong's eyes darted around, then he chuckled sinisterly, "Hehehe, it's nothing, just some legends!"

"Legend has it that it is a mysterious monster with immense power that can fly."

"It will sneak into the village like fog, using its immense power to break through the walls and snatch the people inside!"

"Then land on the tree, hang those people on the branches, and enjoy them slowly!"

"Its favorite, especially... young girls like this!"

"Just like the two of you here!"

Abbot Tenyō suddenly glared at him and said with a sinister expression.

"what!"

"what!"

Two startled cries rang out simultaneously.

Ran Mouri then threw herself into Gu De's arms again.

Yukiko Kudo, who was standing nearby, also instinctively grabbed Gu De's arm.

"Hmph... You still say it's okay..."

Abbot Tianyong let out a quiet hum.

However, this scene shifted everyone's attention to the legend, and at least no one paid attention to the case anymore.

"Haha, it's just a legend."

Abbot Tianyong smiled, his kind face returning to normal.

but.

"No...that's not just a legend..."

"But...but two years ago...a strange event happened!"

Mu Nian suddenly lowered his head and said nervously.

"Mu Nian!"

Kuan Nian wanted to stop him, but when he thought of what Gu De had said earlier, he stopped himself from speaking.

"By the way, this uncle is Kogoro Mouri, the famous detective from Tokyo. You can ask him any questions you have!"

Conan summons Kogoro Mouri.

but.
