Conan’s World Stand-in: Chapter 84 This guy looks like a monster
"Ah, this ghost weather, why did it suddenly rain when I came here..."
In a certain mountain in Tokyo, Hattori Heiji held an umbrella and carefully avoided the puddle on the ground, muttering a little complaining.
"Today's weather forecast has said that it is raining, so it's not surprising that it will rain just when we come to the mountains." As Conan's cold became more and more serious, he still stubbornly asked to come with him to investigate the case, so Guan Dounan, who had to carry him behind his back, looked back at Hattori and said this.
"That's what I said, but it rained as soon as we got to the mountains, it always felt a little weird, as if this investigation would fail or be unfortunate or something..."
"Don't you believe in those gods and ghosts?"
"This is an environmental effect. When the weather is good, people are in a good mood, and the efficiency of doing things will become higher. If it is like this rainy ghost weather, my mood is not good, and the efficiency of doing things will also decrease. ." Hattori Heiji talked about this eloquently, with a very researched look.
"To a certain extent, what you said is true... But for me, as long as it is in such a deep mountain, my interest will not be high. I hope that the Shanni Temple is not a Blizzard Villa..."
"Haha, it's the cherry blossom season now, where can there be a blizzard. The most I can see is that there is only one suspension bridge connecting both sides of the cliff, and then the suspension bridge is suddenly cut off. It's just a man-made island."
"...To tell you the truth, I just experienced this kind of artificial island just two days ago."
"Oh? It seems that even if you are not active outside, you are still solving cases Kudo."
"Um, yes yes..."
Conan didn't speak much because his throat was sore. Guan Dounan and Hattori chatted awkwardly all the way. With Xiao Hei's ability, he finally found the destination Shanni Temple.
"How do you say it, although it's not like the Blizzard Mountain Villa at the two ends of the cliff connected by a suspension bridge..." Standing at the door of Shanni Temple, Guan Dounan snorted.
"This is simply a temple built directly on the cliff..."
The temple as a whole is supported by a wooden structure, and a considerable part is built in the sky on the cliffs, which makes people's legs feel weak, and there is a magnificent waterfall next to it. It seems that there are temples with similar structures in Huaxia. It really makes people wonder why someone would build a temple in such a place...
"Hello, is anyone here? We were here for a hike, but suddenly it rained heavily and wanted to find a place to sleep~~"
A temple built in a place like this would probably not have many people visiting, so there was no welcoming monk outside the door, so Hattori Heiji had to knock on the door and shout as loudly as possible.
As for that lame excuse, I can't just say that I'm a detective and I'm here to investigate the case. If the case happens to be done by someone here, if I don't cooperate with the investigation, I won't say it, or I'll be in danger. Especially this kind of ancient temple in the deep mountains is very suitable for killing people and throwing corpses, throwing people under the cliff, and you can find them wherever you want.
"It doesn't seem like there's anyone...or my voice was too low to be covered by the waterfall next to me, so I couldn't hear it." Hattori Heiji tried to pull the door, but found that it was not locked, so he opened the door and walked in, standing in front of him. The dark entrance poked his head inside.
"You guys, what's the matter..."
A gloomy voice suddenly sounded from behind the three of them, and when they turned around, an old man in a hoodie and a hat appeared behind them at some point. He should have just come back from outside.
This old man can't be said to be handsome and handsome, at least it can be said to be terrifying - wrinkled skin, two white beards hanging down from the sides of his mouth, but there is no sense of dignity at all, just makes people feel like a beast fangs. And his nose is high and bulging, and his two squinted eyes are hidden under the hat, like those horrible doctors wearing beak masks in the Middle Ages.
"Ah, that, we came for a hike, but unfortunately got lost, and it was raining, so we wanted to stay overnight..." Hattori Heiji seemed to be taken aback by the old man who looked like an old monster, and was stunned. After a while, he replied.
"Let's stay overnight..." The old monster, uh no, the old man glanced at a few people with his dangerous eyes, "Could it be those newspapers or TV stations who want to investigate something?"
"Investigation? You, what are you talking about? We are just high school students who came for a hike. Look, there is this guy's younger brother. He was caught in the rain and seems to have a fever." Conan, who was lying on Guan Dounan's back, was used as a shield. At this time, Conan's face was flushed with an unhealthy flush, and his mind was also a little less sober.
"Well... it looks like it should be true." The old man who looked like an old monster saw that Conan seemed to be seriously ill. He thought that no one should bring a sick child to investigate, and immediately performed a light-speed face change. , put on an amiable look, "Oh, this child is so ill, it will not work if you don't take a good rest. This temple also serves as a hotel, and the total cost of vegetarian meals and tours is 10,000 yen per person. , five thousand children."
"This is so expensive... Well, we are still students, can we get a discount? How about a thousand yen..." After Heiji Hattori heard the number, the expression on his face instantly froze. Although he has always adhered to the principle of not charging commission fees for handling cases, it does not mean that he has to pay for it himself, especially this time it is 15,000 yuan, which is indeed not a small amount.
However, in Guan Dounan's view~www.mtlnovel.com~ the fracture price he proposed is indeed a bit outrageous, quite like the "I am a student" style on a second-hand trading platform.
"Well, it makes sense. Why don't I just not take your money and give each person an additional 10,000 yuan?" The old man actually nodded and proposed another more outrageous option.
"Oh? Really? Thank you so much..."
"Are you dreaming?! Do you really think I'll give you money back?! I'm sorry, this temple doesn't offer discounts. Don't say you're a student, you're a beast." The old man's face changed again. The degree of reversal turned gloomy and terrifying, "I didn't scare you, there is no place for people to live here except our temple. And on this rainy night, hehe, I'm afraid I will meet that guy..."
"'That guy'? Is it a bear? There are bears in this mountain?" Hattori asked, pretending to be stupid.
"Not that cute animal, but..."
The old man took off his bamboo hat, revealing the towering height, making him look like an old monster even less human.
