Chapter 38

From this point of view.

Hoshino Mu only needed to accept the task.

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

Isn't it great to pick up money for nothing?

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

At night.

Hoshino Mu 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 hadn't wanted to reach out to catch them.

But while hesitating, he suddenly heard someone shouting "Sonoko"!

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

And also because they were an "important person" who appeared every time in the simulation.

Hoshino Mu reached out his hand involuntarily.

He thought there was only one "stumbling girl".

Who knew that as soon as he reached out, he caught two.

Do Japanese girls play so wildly these days?

Jumping off buildings in groups.

In his past life, he saw 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!"

"Big sister Ran!"

Hoshino Mu looked up.

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

The two of them were looking at the location of the three of them with a horrified expression.

"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 Mu really looked like a perverted murderer holding girls hostage.

A strange man.

Dressed in black.

Holding two girls in his left and right arms respectively.

He truly looked like the "Mist Tengu" who had snatched away the girls.

"Ran! Damn it! Let go of my daughter!"

"Big sister Ran!"

Mouri Kogoro and Edogawa Conan also ran down from upstairs.

"Does no one care if I live or die? It was all a mistake after all!"

Suzuki Sonoko said with a mournful face.

Two noodle-wide tears left on her cheeks.

"You guys mis..."

"Let go of my daughter, Mist Tengu!"

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

"If you have the guts, come and fight me one-on-one!"

"Let go of big sister Ran!"

Conan, who was beside him, was also impassioned.

"Everyone! Everyone! It's a misunderstanding! This is a guest from another room!"

At this moment.

A young monk ran out from the room.

"Huff huff... This guest arrived here before you all."

The monk panted, introducing Hoshino Mu to everyone.

"Dad, Conan, you are too rude, he is our classmate!"

"That's right, Hoshino-kun just saved us!"

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

Hoshino Mu 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 fee.

Although the price was a bit expensive.

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

Plus.

Checking into the temple in advance would not arouse the suspicion of the police and Conan.

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

He couldn't control who wanted to come.

It was 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.

Should not have had these greedy and murderous things.

But now it had long been eroded from the inside.

It seems whether one is pure in the six senses.

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

Hoshino Mu shook his head helplessly.

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

"?"

"?"

Mouri Kogoro and Edogawa Conan were both full of questions.

What kind of situation could it be.

That allowed the three of them to instantly "flash" from the second floor to the courtyard.

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

"It was my prank just now, I accidentally let Sonoko fall."
