Be the god of death in the world of famous detectives

Chapter 160

Maori and his party were deeply impressed by the old monk's threats, and all squinted at him at this moment. The latter coughed awkwardly, put down his chopsticks, twisted his beard and sighed, "I made a slip of the tongue. But this kind of thing, It’s okay to tell them.”

He turned to the four outsiders, lowered his voice, and narrated mysteriously:

"This is just an ancient legend that is unbelievable: every rainy night like this, a monster named Wutengu would sneak into the village like fog, smash through the walls, snatch the good people in the house, and hang them as food. Died on a high branch. The ones who were taken away were all girls with delicate skin and flesh—"

He suddenly raised his hand, pointing at Xiaolan who was clasping her arms around her chest as if afraid of the cold, "Yes, like you!"

"Hey!!", Xiaolan's whole body was terrified, her hair was about to explode, she shrank away from Mori Kogoro.

The latter looked at her with disgust, put a mouthful of rice indifferently, and chewed, "It's just a legend, what are you afraid of!"

"I... I'm not afraid." Xiaolan slowly sat back in her seat, picked up her chopsticks, and pretended that nothing happened just now.

But at this time, the honest and honest Mu Nian remembered something, and said with an ugly expression, "This is not all a legend, two years ago, a strange thing happened in our temple..."

"Mu Nian!" Kuan Nian sternly interrupted him, Mu Nian took a look at Kuan Nian, and closed his mouth embarrassingly.

"If there are strange things, you can tell us." Bai Shu picked up pickled radish with chopsticks, pointed to Mori Kogoro while eating, and boasted proficiently:

"Mr. Maori is very good at solving puzzles. He is a famous detective recently. If you tell me, maybe we can solve it directly."

"That's right, that's right!" Mouri Kogoro felt comfortable all over after being praised, rubbed the back of his head, and let out a characteristic "hahaha" laugh.

"You are that 'sleeping Kogoro?!'", several young monks had heard his name before, and after being shocked, they all came to his side, looking at him expectantly, chattering , "Then you may be able to solve this mystery!"

"That's right, there was a young monk two years ago..."

boom--

"Quiet!", the old monk slammed his fist on the table, no noise during fasting! "

"Master..." The young monks had lived with him for several years, and had never seen him speak in such a tone. They were all stunned for a moment, staring at him like a wooden man.

In the suddenly quiet air, the old monk withdrew his hand, and after looking around, his tone softened slightly:

"Didn't you say that you are not allowed to mention that matter again? Monks should keep their word."

"……Yes."

The three young monks did not dare to bring up this topic again.

And although their attitudes are strange and very suspicious, this is someone else's family business after all, and Mori Kogoro and the others are not easy to control, so they can only comfort themselves in their hearts: anyway, they are just passing by for a day, and they will leave the next day. .

After the meal, the old monk got up and straightened his clothes, and turned to Mori Kogoro:
"Mr. Detective, the room has been packed. You can rest well tonight, but you must leave tomorrow morning. This is the rule in our temple."

Mori Kogoro nodded in confusion, "Okay."

After the old monk left, Mu Nian and Xiu Nian stayed to clean up the dishes, while Kuan Nian led them to the room without saying a word.

Although the fee is charged per person, the old monk did not give them four rooms, and the four of them could only make do with one room for one night.

Kuan Nian dragged out four sets of washed bedding from the closet, spread them out on the tatami mats, then folded his hands together and left.

The bedding was fairly clean, Bai Shu took off his coat, lay down with all his clothes on, and soon fell into a deep sleep listening to the sound of the rain and waterfall outside.

... Then in the middle of the night, I was awakened by a rustling sound.

Bai Shu opened his eyes and saw Xiao Lan sitting up at some point.

She hugged the quilt and sat for a while under Bai Shu's silent gaze, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she pushed the quilt away little by little, and walked slowly towards the door in the dark.

Xiao Lan fumbled to find the doorknob, grabbed it and pushed it aside.

The old wooden door let out an extremely loud "creak--" sound very disrespectfully, Xiaolan trembled all over, and almost took off on the spot, when she landed, she screamed and ran towards the direction of her bed .

However, moving forward in the dark is not an easy task.

Bai Shu watched her erroneously, and came running after him.

When Xiaolan broke out, her speed was extremely fast, and before Bai Shu could make a sound to remind her, she had tripped over Bai Shu's bedding and fell heavily.

Relying on his ability to see at night, Bai Shu got away early and slipped away.

Mori Kogoro next to him couldn't avoid it. He was hit by a heavy object in his dream, and sat up with a cry, "What's wrong? What's wrong?!"

"...", Bai Shu turned on the simple flashlight attached to the phone, and glanced at the screen by the way.

It was just after two o'clock in the morning.

He rubbed his eyes and pretended to wake up, "What's wrong?"

Conan was finally awakened by all kinds of movements. He got up in a daze, touched his glasses, and asked while wearing them, "What's the matter?"

Xiaolan struggled to get up, her face flushed, and she tugged on Mouri Kogoro's sleeve, and the mosquito said, "Come with me to the bathroom."

Conan became more energetic, looked at her for a moment, and understood immediately, "Sister Xiaolan, you don't really believe in Wutiangou, do you?"

"I don't have it! It's just...the temple is so remote, if, if a thief sneaks into the bathroom, I'm not safe by myself." Xiaolan tried her best to make it up, she twisted her long hair hanging from her temples, He stumbled when he spoke.

Kogoro Mori heheed twice, he understood his daughter's nature of being afraid of ghosts.

He didn't say anything more, he got up with his sleepy body, and followed Xiao Lan, "Let's go."

Conan also sneaked out from under the blanket, "Sister Xiaolan, I will accompany you too!"

"Well, thank you Conan!"

"Then I'll stay and take care of the valuables." Bai Shu lay back down again, pulling the quilt up to his chin, "Go early and come back early."

The restroom team headed for the restroom, muttering.

A few minutes later, through the door, Baishu heard Kogoro Mouri's indistinct scream: "Ah!!"

Although he knew nothing was wrong, but in order to show his surprise properly, he sat up with his arms propped up against his drowsiness, and after the three of them came back, he looked at the door in surprise, "Is there really a thief?"

"No." Xiaolan was in a good mood, her face didn't turn red anymore, she covered her mouth and snickered, "There is a foggy dog's mask in the bathroom, I put it on and slapped Dad from behind, and then he..."

"Shut up, unfilial girl!" Mori Kogoro stopped him shamelessly, "I'm not afraid of ghosts! I just yelled that to remind you of the danger!"

"Okay, okay, what you said is right." Xiaolan yawned boredly, and got into the bedding with all her clothes on, "Then I'll go to bed first, Dad, if you want to go to the bathroom, you can call me, good night. "

"Good night." Bai Shu ignored Kogoro Mori's angry growl of "Children are afraid of fog and tengu!", turned off the light, put the phone away, and closed his eyes.

This time, until the next day, nothing disturbed my dream again.
