Fortunately, it was dark and Kogoro Mori was searching for Tenyong and Shuunian, so he didn't notice anything wrong with Natsukawa's expression.
"Uncle Mori, Uncle Natsukawa, I found Abbot Ten'ei!" Conan brought his own lighting equipment and searched alone. Suddenly he looked up and shouted.
Xiachuan looked up and saw that Conan was very close to the stream, but still a few meters away, forming a straight line with the kayak and the training room.
However...if Abbot Tianyong had not fallen into the water, his chances of survival would have been zero.
After all, he fell from a training room that was forty or fifty meters high. If he didn't fall into the water, he would have been smashed into a meat patty.
Although they were mentally prepared, they still frowned when they saw Abbot Tianyong's body broken into pieces.
A little disgusting.
"Abbot Tianyong should have died five or six hours ago. He was probably strangled to death in advance and then hung on the beam to pretend suicide."
Conan stood beside the corpse, not frowning at all, examining it carefully, turning over the deformed corpse from time to time.
From the surface, there was a very obvious mark of strangulation on Abbot Tianyong's neck.
The marks from strangulation were purple-blue in color, which indicated that the person had been dead for quite some time.
"The body of Abbot Tianyong is here. Xiunian was pulled out before him. The water pressure was even greater at that time. It was probably moved a little further back." Xia Chuan fixed his eyes on the stream and did not find any traces of blood.
"The creek is too shallow. If you fall into the water, you probably won't survive."
Xia Chuan shook his head and sighed, picked up a branch beside him and tested the water level.
The water level is about 50 centimeters. If you fall into the water at this level, you will definitely die.
Finally, Xiunian's body was found by three people five meters away from the other side of the stream.
Maybe because of her greater weight, Xiunian’s death was more tragic.
His expression before death was full of fear, and his wide-open eyes represented his longing for this world.
He smashed the wooden board obviously intending to wait for the water to dry up before escaping from this position, but he did not expect that smashing the wooden board would cause him to be washed out by the water.
Or maybe he overestimated himself and thought he could withstand such turbulence.
"This is the consequence of not being educated. He probably doesn't know that the strong water flow caused by breaking the wooden board will directly wash him out!"
Xia Chuan looked back at Joel who was standing at the edge of the grass, or to be more precise, at Anya who was in Joel's arms.
Did you hear that? If you don’t study, your crime will be full of loopholes, and running away will be like seeking death.
Anya: ─━_─━?
Natsukawa's inference was confirmed by Conan.
As expected, he is a man who can associate the practice room and the reservoir together. His reasoning ability is only one-tenth of that of his washing machine!
Xiunian was eighteen years old and had been a monk for a year. He must not have read much in the previous few years, so it was normal that he didn't understand water flow and water pressure. Maybe he had never been to school at all.
The police arrived half an hour later.
Inspector Megure walked into the temple with crutches.
The crutch was an IV stand with a bottle of something like glucose hanging on it.
Anyone who sees this situation would call him a model worker and say he deserves to be a police captain.
"Inspector Megure, what's wrong with you?" asked Kogoro Mouri worriedly.
As a former colleague, he has a particularly good relationship with Inspector Megure, so he can't help but feel a little curious and worried at this time.
"Hmph!" Inspector Megure did not answer, but waved his hand to signal the police officers to go and check the body.
Besides this, the confessions were also conducted in an orderly manner, and the remaining three monks in the temple were called up.
Kuan Nian, who was dug out of the bed, said hurriedly: "Mr. Officer, this matter has nothing to do with me. I was sleeping the whole time until you woke me up just now. I don't know anything about this matter."
"..."
Tun Nian and Mu Nian were a little confused. They still didn’t know what had happened and were still curious why Xiunian and Abbot Tianyong didn’t show up.
"That's not right, Brother Kuan Nian, I heard Xiunian's cry and wanted to come out to check, but you told me not to just go and check and let me continue sleeping, why now..." Mu Nian was confused, not knowing what the senior brother was doing.
Could it be that the arrival of the police has something to do with Senior Brother Kuan Nian?
Officer Megure sighed and said, "It's just a routine questioning. Don't be nervous, masters. We have roughly identified the murderer. Now we just need your cooperation to give a statement."
Then, Inspector Megure briefly recounted the case.
Tun Nian and Mu Nian were stunned. The master was gone, and the junior brother was gone too?
This...this...this is too good!
In addition to being surprised and frightened, they were also eager to take action. So what if he was dead? Since Master Tianyong was dead, the important thing now was who would inherit Shanni Temple.
Although Shanni Temple is located in a remote area and sparsely visited, it still has the necessary incense. If you can inherit this temple, at least you won't have to worry about the rest of your life.
Several monks cooperated very well in taking notes, and Kuannian seemed to be afraid of something from beginning to end.
However, Inspector Megure did not care about it. It might be that the death of the abbot and his junior fellow apprentice was too much of a blow to him. This was normal and only showed that the relationship between master and apprentice was very good.
"Inspector Megure!" A younger police officer appeared and whispered something in Officer Megure's ear.
The case is now very clear.

Chapter 133: A car accident actually happened in a place like this!
It is an indisputable fact that Xiunian is the murderer and she was caught by Xiachuan and Conan when she was designing the method. Now Xiunian is dead and the case is considered to be closed.
The only remaining doubt was Xiunian's motive for murder. After the police's report, Xiunian's motive for killing Abbot Tianyong was also found.
"So, Monk Xiu Nian is the younger brother of Monk Zhong Nian who died two years ago. Is that right?" Inspector Megure confirmed with the police officer again.
The police officer nodded and continued, "According to Detective Maori, Zhongnian was killed by Tianyong, so Xiunian's purpose should be revenge, but it is unclear how he knew Tianyong's previous methods of committing crimes."
"That's right!" Conan suddenly interrupted and began his own reasoning:
"Since decades ago, there have been three cases of fog-killing dogs at Shanni Temple.
The first was the death of Monk Tianfu more than 20 years ago; the second was the death of Monk Zhongnian two years ago.
The two cases had only one commonality, which was that Tianyong presided over the case. Only Tianyong personally witnessed both cases.
Moreover, he had sufficient motives for committing both crimes. The first motive was to compete for the hosting position, and the second motive was to separate his granddaughter and Zhongnian.
As for the third time, it was just as the police officer said, Master Xiu Nian came for revenge.
As for how Master Xiu Nian was sure that it was related to Monk Tianyong, it might be related to what Sister Hongzi said yesterday."
After saying that, Conan turned around innocently and looked at Maori Kogoro: "Is that so, Uncle Maori?"
"Hahaha, yes, yes, Inspector Megure, what Conan said is exactly what I wanted to express. This little guy is really good!" Mouri Kogoro laughed, as if he was the one who was working overtime until three o'clock and still doing reasoning.
"Okay." Inspector Megure waved his hand. Some mysterious force prevented him from asking who Hongzi was. As long as the case was solved, it was fine.
"But, Maori, don't let Conan go to the scene next time. Look at his clothes, they are all stained with blood. Besides, children don't know how to behave properly and can easily destroy the scene."
Xiachuan: ...
Inspector Megure really has no clue. With the Metropolitan Police Department's current method of solving cases, without Conan they would catch the wrong murderer every day.
"Conan is still very obedient. If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have noticed that Xiu Nian was collecting water to attribute the death of Tianyong host to the murder of Kiri Tengu."
Conan shed tears of emotion, what a good man!
......
The Shannisi case ended early because it was discovered in advance.
The former murderer and the current murderer both suffered losses and died together.
The three remaining monks hastily finished their notes and began to compete for the position of abbot.
Xia Chuan didn't know the specific situation, nor was he interested in knowing it. The group of six packed up their things and prepared to return to Tokyo.
Because of Shirley, Xiachuan still had to go to Baijiu Pharmaceutical, so Anya's hot spring trip was canceled.
But Aniya didn't make a scene.
It wasn't because she was obedient, but because of learning magic. She was still a little afraid to speak, and just asked her father to treat her as air and not think of making her a magic apprentice.
The profession of witch is not suitable for her.
After Inspector Megure solved the case, Koizumi Akako hurried away, taking the Kiri Tengu mask with her.
Seeing how hurriedly he left, Xia Chuan always felt something was strange.
This case has nothing to do with Koizumi Akako, and the profession of witch is not illegal, so is there any need to run so fast?
This question was finally answered at the parking lot.
"Who is it!" Mouri Kogoro's voice resounded throughout the entire Shanni Mountain, a mixture of anger and grief. He knelt on the ground, holding his head in his hands and revealing sad tears. The good mood that had originally been brought about by solving the case plummeted.
Want Want Mini Pastries?
Natsukawa looked back in confusion and looked at Kogoro Mouri who was kneeling next to the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz. Conan and Xiaolan behind him also had strange expressions. What happened?
"What's wrong, uncle?"
When he got closer, before he had time to see what was going on, Xia Chuan felt like he had stepped on something hard, and when he looked down...
Mercedes Benz logo...
My goodness, I thought that if it wasn't for Uncle Maori driving, I could avoid the fate of a flat tire, but now it seems that fate's counterattack is a bit scary! The rear logo has fallen off.
He couldn't help but think of the loud noise he heard on the way to Shanni Temple last night.
Natsukawa quickened his pace and came behind Kogoro Mori.
I saw that the license plate area at the rear of the Mercedes-Benz was dented, the car logo disappeared, the taillights were broken, and the exhaust pipe was tilted to one side.
Xia Chuan walked forward and touched the deformed trunk.
boom!
The entire trunk suddenly bounced up and almost hit Xia Chuan in the face. Fortunately, he reacted in time and bent back, otherwise his chin would have been hit.
"How could a car accident happen in a place like this?"
Xia Chuan was confused and looked at the ground behind the Mercedes-Benz.
"There must have been other cars parked here." Conan observed carefully, trying to find clues about the hit-and-run murderer.
There were some broken glass on the ground, which seemed to be broken glass from the headlights. It looked like a rear-end collision.
Uh, this is...
"Hey, Uncle Maori, there seems to be a piece of paper here." Conan ran to Natsukawa and reached out to take out a piece of paper from the trunk.
"Conan!" Xiaolan called softly. Her father was very angry at that moment. Wouldn't Conan be asking for a beating if he went up to him?
Sure enough, there was a "bang" sound, and Conan squatted down and rolled to the side to avoid danger.
Xiachuan took the paper from Conan's hand.
"Who is it? The logo of the Mercedes I just picked up has fallen off!" Kogoro Mouri was so heartbroken that tears fell.
Although the Rakuten Foundation will pay for the repairs for free, it is obvious that a new car needs a major overhaul after such a crash. Who can bear this?
"Uncle Maori, this looks like a check!" Xia Chuan read it carefully and counted the zeros on it: "This is a check for 20 million."
"What!" Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened. He snatched the check and checked the amount carefully.
After a while, he suddenly laughed: "Hahahaha, now it seems that I don't feel so sad."
The repair costs were paid by the Japanese consortium, and the person who crashed the car also left a check for 20 million. This money is equivalent to free money. Only a fool would not know the importance of this.
The face-changing master Mouri Kogoro was in a much happier mood, but it was a little troublesome to go home. Now that the car was in this state, he definitely couldn't drive it.
Fortunately, Inspector Megure hasn't left yet, so I can still go home. I just have to save his face.
Xiachuan finally understood why Koizumi Hongzi had that expression before. She was probably the one who hit the Mercedes-Benz.
However, the witch doesn't drive a broom but a car when traveling. Could it be that the broom was taken to the Magic Broom Shop for maintenance?
Also, Koizumi Hongzi is 17 years old, right? She shouldn't have a driver's license at this age. No wonder she was in such a hurry and she was hesitant when I asked her questions.

Because of this incident, Xiachuan's trip back to Tokyo was delayed for several hours, and he did not return to Tokyo until the afternoon.
