The famous criminal in the world of Conan

"arrive."

"Ok?"

Miwako Sato subconsciously looked in the direction of the white-horned pine. The sunlight outside the window shone through the shade of the tree and hit the white-horned pine's tilted face, giving the white-horned pine, which was usually known for its coldness, a sunny temperament.

Inspector Hakuba looks very handsome like this!

"Sato, get off the bus." Seeing that Sato Miwako had not gotten off the bus yet, Bai Masong reminded her in a cold tone.

"Oh, oh, right away." Sato Miwako said hurriedly.

The two got out of the car and looked at the neatly arranged buildings built halfway up the mountain.

The complex is a temple built next to a waterfall halfway up the mountain. Below the temple are dozens of huge scaffolds built against the mountain, giving the building a sense of a castle in the air. The waterfall next to it is mixed with cherry blossoms falling from the mountain, washing the temple's plank road.

In this season when cherry blossoms are in full bloom, anyone who sees the scenery of this temple will say it is a paradise on earth!

There are three words written in front of the temple door - "Shan Ni Temple".

Early this morning, as soon as Hakuba Matsu arrived at the Metropolitan Police Department, he received a report from Maori Kogoro claiming that a murder had occurred in Sanni Temple.

Since Sanni Temple is located deep in the mountains, Hakubamatsu and Sato Miwako did not want their cars to be damaged, so they chose to come here in a police car with Officer Megure and others.

Looking at the Sanni Temple in front of him, Inspector Megure sighed.

Shiramasatsu and Sato Miwako both saw it, but they were confused. Only Inspector Megure's deputy, Takagi Wataru, seemed to know something.

When they entered Sanni Temple, Kogoro Mori and his family were already waiting there.

Beside them, there were four monks of different heights, weights and bodies.

"Brother Maori, it was you who reported the case, right? Where is the body?" asked Officer Megure.

"Inspector Megure, the body is hanging in the temple's confinement room. Everyone follow me," said Kogoro Mouri.

After saying that, he led a group of people towards the confinement room.

The solitary confinement room is a room with an area of ​​nearly 10 square meters and a height of nearly ten meters.

When they arrived at the confinement room, everyone saw a shocking scene.

Inside the confinement room, there was an old man in black monk's robes, hanging on a beam seven or eight meters above the ground with his eyes wide open and a look of horror on his face.

Seeing the scene in front of them, Hakuba Matsu, Sato Miwako and Takagi Wataru were all shocked, and Inspector Megure felt even more familiar with it!

A claustrophobic secret room, a seven or eight meter high ceiling, broken walls, and a hanging corpse.

Inspector Megure couldn't help but close his eyes, unable to bear to look at it.

After a while, he opened his eyes, patted Bai Masong on the shoulder, and said solemnly: "Brother Bai Ma, this time I ask you to use all your strength to solve this case."

Hakuba Matsu nodded, and before he could say anything, Inspector Megure continued.

"Two years ago, I handled a very similar case in this Shanni Temple. The same confinement room, the same body hanging in the air."

"At that time, I also thought it was a homicide. However, I carefully checked the entire temple and still couldn't find a clue. Since there were no clues, in order not to waste police resources, I had no choice but to give up the search. I regarded it as an unsolved case and put it on the shelf."

"But now, it has appeared again. Although it has been two years, I still remember every detail of that year clearly. When I saw it just now, I knew it was the same method."

"I suspect this is the same murderer, committing the crime again!"

Just as everyone has his own white moonlight in his heart, every criminal policeman also has a case that he cannot let go of.

In his early years, Inspector Megure met Yusaku Kudo and solved many cases. In the past year, with the help of Shinichi Kudo, he has solved every case. It can be said that Inspector Megure's career as a detective has been smooth sailing.

However, the case two years ago, the completely closed secret room, the incredibly dead body hanging high from the beam, and the clean and tidy scene, all of these left a deep impression on Inspector Megure at that time.

This impossible event has become Inspector Megure's nightmare and obsession for the past two years.

As soon as he arrived at Sanni Temple this time, Inspector Megure vowed to find the murderer.

But he also knew that it would be impossible to accomplish it by himself. After all, if he could solve the case, he would have solved it two years ago.

Therefore, he could only pin his hopes on his "super brother" Bai Ma Song.

Bai Masong nodded solemnly. As a criminal policeman, although he was young, he had experienced many cases.

He could understand the helplessness and persistence of Inspector Megure very well. Sometimes, it was the persistence of these detectives that could solve some long-pending cases.

"Don't worry, I will definitely solve this case."

Bai Masong said calmly but forcefully.

He actually had an impression of this case. When he first heard about Shanni Temple, he didn't remember it. But when he came here and saw the body hanging in the air, he remembered it.

This case, in terms of the degree of mysteriousness of the methods used, ranks among the top among all the cases in Detective Conan.

"Inspector Megure, let them introduce the scene first." said Bai Masong.

"Oh, yes, yes, yes." Inspector Megure suddenly broke away from his memories and said quickly.

"Brother Maori, please tell me the cause of this case."

"Ok."

Kogoro Maori agreed. He cleared his throat, thought about what happened this morning, and organized his words.

"It's like this. The person who hanged himself here was the abbot of Shanni Temple, Monk Tianyong."

"This morning, Xiaolan and I got up and went to have breakfast. Abbot Tianyong was not there, so Master Kuannian went to look for him. We waited for a while and heard Master Kuannian screaming. We followed the sound and saw Abbot Tianyong hanged from the beam. Then, I immediately asked Xiaolan to call the police."

After listening to what Kogoro Mori said, Hakuba Matsu thought for a while and said.

"Well, Sato, Takagi, take the people from the forensic department and search everywhere. Don't miss any clues."

"Okay!" replied Miwako Sato and Wataru Takagi.

After giving instructions to Sato and Takagi, Hakuba Matsu continued.

"Inspector Megure, let me ask these masters."

Officer Megure nodded and said affectionately, "I'm counting on you, Brother Hakuba."

After saying this, Hakuba Song walked over to Kogoro Mori.

"Detective Maori, it's the same old routine, routine questioning. What did you three do last night?"
