Chapter 120 Suspicious Amuro Tooru
First of all, although the houses in this area are quite sturdy, and the solitary confinement cells can even withstand water pressure of ten meters without leaking, they are still brick and wood structures, so more than one person could break through them.
At least Sonoko Suzuki knew that Ran Mouri could break through, and Ran Mouri also knew that Hiko Akutagawa could break through.
Even if one person can't handle it, two people working together will surely be able to protect themselves.
As for the ability to fly, an existence that flies with a pair of wings would definitely be more restricted in a room. Perhaps they could team up to capture a man-eating monster and send it to a research institute to be sliced up.
Conan poked at the rice in his bowl, glanced at Akutagawa Hiko, and, finding nothing wrong, continued his struggle with the food in front of him.
Tun Nian is such a generous cook; he gave this elementary school student a very generous portion. He didn't have enough training today, which caused him to misjudge his appetite. He hasn't even finished digesting the food he ate on the mountain yet.
Because of the drastic changes in his worldview, Conan isn't entirely sure if the Mist Tengu really exists, but legends tend to get more and more outlandish, so he'd be grateful if they had even a fraction of truth to them.
Moreover, as Akutagawa Hiko said, even in legends, this ancient monster named Kiri Tengu's performance was not as good as Akutagawa Hiko's cat and dog, so you can imagine how weak it was.
Three elements can be extracted from the legend: long life, great strength, and the ability to fly.
It really doesn't have any unique features, so it's no wonder it hasn't generated much discussion.
If this is just for publicity and hoping to attract other tourists, then it must have been the idea of some old-fashioned person.
Seeing the disbelief on Kogoro Mouri and Tooru Amuro's faces, Conan struggled to eat the food, while Akutagawa Hiko showed no fear whatsoever. Even the two little girls weren't scared; instead, they kept asking for details.
Some of the hosts, enraged and embarrassed, even brought up an incident from two years ago: "A similar incident happened two years ago, and it was even in the newspapers!"
Kuan Nian frowned. Monk Tian Yong had almost never allowed them to discuss this matter before, but now he'd brought it up directly. Unexpectedly, Akutagawa Hiko suddenly looked very interested: "Tell me more. We have several detectives here."
They're experts at deciphering the strangest and most unusual things; maybe we can find the truth.
"!!" x4
"?!" ×1
Four young monks and one old monk, with exclamation marks above their heads like NPCs in some games, except they had something different mixed in.
"These are all old stories, and they're matters within our temple, so there's no need for the detective to get involved."
After saying this, the old monk put down his chopsticks: "Old people are prone to drowsiness."
Then, Abbot Tianyong angrily rebuked his disciples: "Go back and rest immediately after you finish eating. You have morning prayers tomorrow. Don't discuss these unpleasant things with the guests!"
Amuro Tooru stared at the old monk's departing figure, and the phrase "a guilty conscience" popped into his mind.
However, people in this world seem to share a traditional virtue: when others are unwilling to talk about something, they don't choose to pry. This allowed the old monk to escape unscathed.
Although the old monk ran away, the young monk still had a strong sense of service.
The two led Akutagawa Hiko and the others to the guest room and even helped them make up their bedding.
There are two guest rooms, one large and one small, one for girls and one for boys. Conan, because Akutagawa Hiko knows his true identity, is too embarrassed to bother Ran.
And with Sonoko Suzuki around, I feel like even if you got in, you'd probably be thrown out.
While the others were asleep, Amuro Tooru secretly opened his eyes. He was still somewhat bothered by this so-called incident from two years ago.
It wasn't that he was worried about some kind of fog dog, but as a public security police officer, he couldn't just let go of this obvious suspicious point.
However, Amuro Tooru, who had sneaked away, did not notice the two pairs of open eyes.
A small temple, accommodating so many people, with nearly half of them still awake, secretly preparing to do something—Akutagawa Hiko was practically exclaiming in amazement.
When Kazami Yuya suddenly received an email from his boss in the middle of the night, he almost had a heart attack.
However, he knew perfectly well that his superior was currently infiltrating a terrifying illegal organization, and that there was no reason for him to contact him late at night.
It must have been very urgent, so I jumped out of bed and put on my glasses instantly.
Then there is no more.
Kazami Yuya was about to smash his computer when someone contacted him in the middle of the night about a two-year-old cold case.
However, there are indeed few opportunities to contact him during the day, so sending emails in the middle of the night is a last resort.
After mentally reassuring himself, Kazami Yuya resigned himself to his fate and began to collect the information that Amuro Tooru needed, based on the keywords.
Although it could be outsourced, Amuro Tooru specifically stated that it was urgently needed, so he had to do it himself, which is indeed something he is good at.
Amuro Tooru is a very intelligent person. After receiving Kazami Yuya's email, he had already analyzed the situation quite thoroughly.
The protagonist of the case that ended in suicide, Zhongnian, was probably killed by the old monk, and the so-called Mist Tengu mentioned in the rumors...
It's just a tactic used to cover up the truth.
However, he still doesn't know the motive or the method of the murder.
If he's acting as Rei Furuya, then it's quite easy to handle, since they're a group of people who can conduct illegal searches even without a warrant.
However, he is currently an apprentice named Amuro Tooru who enjoys part-time jobs and aspires to become a detective, so it will be difficult to handle him without finding evidence and analyzing the methods used.
Having a keen detective by your side is a bit tricky; you're always worried that your disguise might be exposed if you're not careful.
Whether it's their identity as a police officer or an organization, if they are exposed, many plans will be doomed.
The light from Amuro Tooru's phone screen illuminated his face, and his thoughtful expression had the air of a mystic like Bourbon.
At a corner, Conan's glasses reflected a cold glint.
Rainy nights are inherently easy to hide in, especially since Conan has undergone proper ninja training with Akutagawa Hiko. If Conan were to follow Gin and Vodka at this time, he might not be discovered and ambushed if he was careful.
Amuro Tooru, of course, was unaware of the two people spying on him from the shadows.
Akutagawa looked at Conan peeping beneath him, then at Amuro Tooru outside who was completely oblivious.
I feel that Amuro Tooru's suspicion level with Conan is off the charts, after all, his behavior of secretly sending emails behind their backs is really suspicious.
Amuro Tooru suddenly looked up alertly, and Conan instinctively tried to dodge, but Akutagawa Hiko held him down.
It turned out that it wasn't their whereabouts that were discovered, but rather a young monk carrying a candlestick who was patrolling and was spotted by Amuro Tooru beforehand.
If Conan had actually dodged that moment, he probably wouldn't have been discovered.
