Chapter 14

“??”

“Hoshino-kun?”

Hoshino Ki was holding one girl in each of his arms.

He stood frozen in place.

Before this.

Hoshino Ki had contacted the employer by phone.

The other party said he wanted to be the head priest of Sanniji Temple.

So he had sought various ways to hire the Black Organization to help him.

And offered a bounty of 100 million yen.

Equivalent to over 5 million RMB.

After deducting the commission taken by the organization.

There was still over 4 million left.

The other party offered too much.

He had to take it!

Moreover, before coming to this temple.

Hoshino Ki had already vaguely known that a case would happen here.

The “Sanniji Temple” mentioned by the other party on the phone.

Was exactly the location of the famous “Mist Tengu Legend Murder Case.”

So he had arrived at the mission location early.

After seeing the scene that completely overlapped with the anime.

He had already confirmed that his analysis was correct.

Originally, given the organization’s consistent style.

And the bounty paid by the employer.

There was undoubtedly only one way to complete the mission.

And that was to directly finish off the old head priest.

With Hoshino Ki’s current skills.

Taking out an old monk was more than enough.

But the old monk’s death was fated.

If he remembered correctly.

According to the plot’s development.

“Sanniji Temple” head priest Ten-ei.

Was at night.

Hanged by someone with a rope on the suspension beam of a “penance room.”

Used specifically to punish monks who broke the precepts.

The old monk dies.

Hoshino Ki’s mission would then be completed.

And he could make a profit without having to do it himself.

From this point of view.

Hoshino Ki only needed to accept the mission.

Stay on the sidelines and join in the fun to reap the benefits.

Isn’t it wonderful to pick up money for nothing.

Now he just needed to ensure the old monk could die smoothly.

At night.

Hoshino Ki had just stepped into the temple gate.

When he suddenly heard a scream from the second floor.

He turned around.

And saw a dark object twisting and turning by the second-floor window.

Judging by the shadow, it should be a person.

And it looked like they were about to fall.

He didn’t want to reach out to catch them.

But while hesitating, he suddenly heard someone shouting “Sonoko”!

Probably because the other party was an important supporting character in the anime.

And also an “important person” who appeared every time in the simulation.

Hoshino Ki reached out his hand involuntarily.

He thought there was only one “falling girl.”

Who knew that when he reached out, there were two.

Do Japanese girls nowadays play so wildly?

Jumping off buildings in groups.

In his past life, he had seen a movie on the internet.

It was about a group of Japanese girls wearing JK uniforms.

Jumping onto train tracks in groups.

Could group suicide be some kind of Japanese culture.

He didn’t understand.

But he respected it.

“Ran!”

“Ran-neechan!”

Hoshino Ki looked up.

And discovered it was the famous Conan Edogawa and Kogoro Mouri.

The two of them were looking at the location of the three of them with horror.

“Did something happen?”

“Who are you?”

“Let them go!”

The monks ran over with thick wooden sticks.

The scene fell into an awkward situation.

From an outsider’s perspective.

With this current posture.

Hoshino Ki really looked like a perverted murderer holding girls hostage.

A strange man.

Dressed in black.

Holding two girls in his left and right arms.

He truly looked like the “Mist Tengu” who had snatched the girls.

“Ran! Damn it! Let go of my daughter!”

“Ran-neechan!”

Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa also ran down from upstairs.

“Does no one care about my life or death? It was all in vain after all!”

Sonoko Suzuki said with a mournful face.

Two noodle-wide tears left on her cheeks.

“You misunderstood...”

“Let go of my daughter, Mist Tengu!”

Kogoro Mouri shouted heroically, interrupting Ran Mouri’s words.

“If you have the guts, come and have a one-on-one with me!”

“Let go of Ran-neechan!”

Conan, who was beside him, was also impassioned.

“Everyone! Everyone! It’s a misunderstanding! This is a guest from another room!”

At this time.

A young monk ran out from inside.

“Huff huff... this guest arrived here before you all.”

The monk panted, introducing Hoshino Ki to everyone.

“Dad, Conan, you are being too rude, he is our classmate!”

“That’s right, Hoshino-kun just saved us!”

Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki finally had the chance to speak.

Hoshino Ki understood the entire anime plot.

So he had indeed arrived at this temple one step ahead of them.

And he had also paid the normal accommodation fees.

Although the price was a bit expensive.

But compared to the bounty obtained after the mission was successful, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Plus.

Checking into the temple early would not arouse the suspicion of the police or Conan.

After all, this temple didn’t belong to Conan’s family.

He couldn’t control who wanted to come.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that in this temple.

There was more than just the murderer who wanted the old monk dead.

There was also his own employer.

A pure place like a temple.

Originally shouldn’t have these greedy and murderous things.

But now it had long been eroded from within.

It seems whether one is pure in the six senses.

Has little to do with whether one is studying in a temple.

Hoshino Ki shook his head helplessly.

And put down Ran Mouri and Sonoko Suzuki who were in his arms.

“?”

“?”

Kogoro Mouri and Conan Edogawa were both full of questions.

What kind of situation could it be.

That allowed the three of them to “flash” from the second floor to the courtyard in an instant.

Ran Mouri saw that the two had doubts, and quickly continued to explain:

“It was my prank just now, and I accidentally let Sonoko fall.”
