Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 81: Foggy Tengu

On a remote forest trail somewhere on the mountainside of Mount Takao, the sky was getting dark, but a car was always parked among the tall and deep woods.

"Really, didn't I say a long time ago, don't take this mountain road!" Xiaolan looked at Mouri Kogoro who was checking the tires, "Not only did I get lost, but the car also had a flat tire..."

"Okay, stop rambling, I don't want to either!"

Mori Kogoro looked at the flat tire with a headache, when suddenly a few cold raindrops fell, and a thick dark cloud drifted across the sky.

"Oops, it's raining!"

"What should I do? I still have to walk a few kilometers to the foot of the mountain!" Xiaolan asked anxiously.

"I can't help it, I don't have a spare tire, and there are no people in this kind of wilderness, so I have to barely spend the night in the car." Maori Kogoro said in a broken jar.

"Eh?! How can this be?"

Gao Cheng was floating on the roof of the car, half-opening his eyes and looking at the shouting family below.

He underestimated Mori Kogoro or Conan too much. He stayed on the top of the mountain for a long time. He thought he would go back peacefully like this, but he was still trapped in the mountain.

It can't go on like this, he is already very hungry. Although he has become a ghost, he is just a transparent person who can float.

However, there are not many things that can be stored in the system space. Originally, it was just a small extra space created by using a camouflage card to store personal belongings. When he came, he only put some sugar, and ate it all on the top of the mountain.

"Hurry up and look for that mountain mud temple..."

Gao Cheng climbed up a big tree with his light body, looked around from the top of the tree, and soon found the Shanni Temple on the edge of a cliff in a valley not far away.

It was a temple built on the edge of a mountainside cliff, supported by a wooden frame structure as a whole, a rather old Japanese-style building, and there was a waterfall flying down beside it.

Without waiting for Mori Kogoro and the others, Gao Cheng went along the valley to the temple first.

There is only one road leading to Shanni Temple, which is quite dangerous. I don't know why people build temples in such places.

Gao Cheng floated all the way to the entrance of Shanni Temple, opened the entrance door, there seemed to be no one inside, he wanted to shout but thought that he was still a "ghost".

"Let's find out if there is anything to eat first."

After a while, Mori Kogoro and his party seemed to have discovered the temple, and followed them towards the valley.

"Ah, I didn't expect there to be a temple in such a place. It seems that I have to stay here for a night tonight."

"Is anyone here?"

Mori Kogoro walked into the entrance and shouted inside: "We..."

"What's the matter with you?" Suddenly a gloomy voice sounded behind several people, Xiaolan looked back in shock, only to see an old monk who looked like a ghost appeared at the door at some point,

The old monk was wearing a coir raincoat, with a towering bald head, a long white beard hanging down like sharp teeth in the dim light, and a pair of fierce eyes above his pointed eagle nose staring at them, the group of uninvited guests.

"I'm asking what are you doing here?" The old monk walked under the light, his face still terrified, "Could it be a reporter from a newspaper or TV station? Even if you bring a child, you can't hide it from me!"

"what?"

"Go back!" the old monk roared, "this is not the place for you worldly people!"

Mori Kogoro explained with a dry smile, sweating coldly: "We just want to spend the night... because the car had a flat tire and got stuck here..."

"What? Do you want to live here?" The old monk's eyes lit up, and he immediately put on a smiley expression, "What are you doing, why didn't you say it earlier? I thought I was here to interview that matter."

Mori Kogoro stared blankly at the old monk whose attitude had changed drastically: "The matter of the interview was..."

"Nothing nothing, just some private matters,

The old monk rubbed his hands and said with a smile, "This temple also runs a hotel, including a fast meal and the cost of visiting, 10,000 yuan per person." "

"One or ten thousand yuan?" Mori Kogoro exclaimed, his face turning green.

On the other side, Gao Cheng went around the Buddhist hall in the inner hall, but he couldn't find anything to eat. The huge temple didn't have any offerings. He was about to find out where the kitchen was, when he suddenly heard a commotion by the entrance.

The accommodation fee was 10,000 yuan, which was enough for the old monk to cover his food expenses for several weeks.

"It's fine if you don't stay here," said the old monk like a shrewd little old man. "It takes six hours to walk to the foot of the mountain."

Mori Kogoro looked embarrassed: "But..."

"I'm not scaring you, it's better to stay here. On this rainy night, that thing may be watching you from somewhere." The old monk suddenly turned his back to the crowd and said mysteriously.

"Are there any bears here?" Gao Cheng floated to the side of the old monk and asked.

"Bear? It's not such a cute animal."

The old monk didn't notice Gao Cheng at all, he turned around and said with a chuckle: "It's that ancient monster that likes rain and darkness, and specializes in eating human souls... Wutiangou!"

"Crack!"

There was a muffled thunder, and lightning came in from outside the entrance. Xiaolan and the others looked at the old monk with blue faces: "Just, who was talking just now?"

"Hey, can't you?" Conan looked around closely.

The sound was quite vague, like the sound of the wind, and vaguely familiar...Damn it, where did the sound come from? Is it really foggy tengu?

No, it's impossible, it should be just a coincidence, or what tricks this old monk played...

"Huh?" The old monk looked around suspiciously, without thinking too much, seeing that Conan and his party had been frightened by Wutiangou, he secretly said happily, "I'm sorry, I said something that shouldn't be said... Come on, let me introduce you to this temple The four monks practicing."

It's rare that there is business in the temple, so of course it has to be slaughtered.

"Hey, all of you, come here," the old monk clapped his hands and shouted inside, "There are guests coming!"

Gao Cheng silently shut his mouth and did not make another sound. Although he didn't have to pay the high price of 10,000 yuan for accommodation, he still had a hard time tonight. He was not a real ghost, and he was too easy to be discovered. ten thousand yuan.

And I'm really hungry...

As the sky became darker and darker, a handsome monk in the temple took Mori Kogoro and his party around to visit, and Gao Cheng followed behind.

This incident happened within a day or two. Although he still had an impression of "Fog Sky Dog", he didn't remember the specifics of the case, so he needed to investigate in advance.

In Shanni Temple, besides the old monk, there are four monks who are practicing monks. The elder brother Kuan Nian who has practiced for the longest time, the fat man Tun Nian who eats a lot but is good at cooking, Mu Nian who is in charge of carpentry in the temple, and Mu Nian who has only been here for a year. Xiu Nian, who is small but smart, is mostly around 20 years old.

The elder brother Kuan Nian was the one who showed everyone around the monastery, and the others followed the instructions of the presiding officer Tian Yong, that is, the old monk, to cook.

Gao Cheng really wanted to say to prepare one for himself, but he couldn't open his mouth, so he had to remember the location of the kitchen first.
