Upon hearing this, Mingmei and the others fell silent.
"Yes, it's all the fault of evil spirits."
After a long silence, Shirley whispered something.
It's as if they agree with what Koizumi Akako said.
It's more like an explanation for Akemi.
the other side,
Izuki Karuta left the room.
Naturally, it's to absorb the negative energy from other people in the temple.
Because the evil spirit underestimated its enemy, it did not even withdraw the malevolent energy it had placed on everyone.
Even if all of them are taken back, it won't change the outcome.
Izuki Shizuta quietly entered the monks' room.
It absorbed another 35 units of malevolent energy.
Now, the total amount of evil energy in Izuki Karuta soared to 230 million.
Actually, the combined malevolent energy of the four young monks and the old monk amounted to 47.
But the old monk was murdered, and after his death, the evil aura dissipated.
The young monk who committed the crime had his inner conflict resolved after the murder, and some of the malevolent energy dissipated.
After the evil spirits dissipated, the heavy rain in the mountains also stopped abruptly.
The next day was an exceptionally sunny day.
At noon, the police, who had received the report, led a team to the scene.
Unexpectedly, it was Inspector Megure who came.
He was also with Kogoro Mouri and Conan.
"Although it's somewhat remote."
"But this area is also under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Police Department."
Inspector Megure offered an explanation for his appearance.
As for Kogoro Mouri, after enjoying good food and drinks on the cruise ship, he arrived in Europe a few days ago.
But he had almost no money on him and didn't even have a visa, so they had to contact the police to provide him with a plane ticket and send him back to Mihua.
As for the money for the plane tickets, it was naturally paid for by Ran Mouri.
Ran Mouri complained that Kogoro Mouri had wasted a lot of money and hadn't worked for almost a month, so she kept pressuring him to get back to work.
Kogoro Mouri was now too afraid to stay at home during the day, and having no pocket money, he could only run to the Metropolitan Police Department to complain to Inspector Megure.
Then we received a call reporting the incident, and we all came over.
Needless to say, Conan was somewhat hesitant to face Ran Mouri because of something that had happened.
She didn't want to stay at Professor Agasa's house either, because Yukiko didn't seem to have given up yet.
Conan was afraid that Yukiko would drag him into her plans and cause some unpredictable situations to occur.
Therefore, Conan chooses to follow Kogoro Mouri. If they encounter a case, he might be able to deduce the truth and enjoy the fun of solving the mystery.
"You guys should work hard to solve the case."
"Anyway, none of the people on my side are suspected of committing the crime."
"There was no motive or time for the crime."
Izuki Karuta doesn't care about reasoning and solving cases.
After the old monk's body was discovered in the morning
Izuki Karuta had already greeted Akemi, Sherry, Vermouth, and Koizumi Akako.
The group gave the same story, all saying they had slept in the same room the previous night.
"No, Yizhu, you..."
"You slept in the same room as these three beautiful women?!"
Kogoro Mouri's eyes widened in a mixture of envy and jealousy.
But Shirley couldn't help but clench her fists: There are clearly four!
Just because she's short and looks young, does that mean she's excluded?!
Won't her being with Izuki Qingtian cause misunderstandings?!
"What are you thinking about, Detective with the mustache!"
Koizumi Akako scolded, "These monks have shifty eyes and are plotting against us."
"We'd like to ask Mr. Yizhu to come to the room for protection, is that alright?!"
Vermouth chimed in, "Fortunately, Mr. Izuku is there to protect us."
"Otherwise, one of us might have been the one who died last night."
If someone else had given this reason, it might have drawn criticism.
But Akemi and the others are indeed top-tier beauties.
There are indeed unsafe factors in temples, and murders have occurred there.
Therefore, it makes sense to leave Izuki Karuta in the room to protect her.
The police did reduce their suspicion of Izuki Karuta and others.
But Conan still secretly took out a voice recorder and recorded the entire conversation.
They also took photos of Izuki Karuda standing with other people.
This little action,
Besides Izuki Karuta, Vermouth also noticed and frowned slightly.

Conan's little scheme was obvious; he was simply trying to sow discord between Izumi Karuta and Mouri Ran.
Vermouth couldn't understand. As a detective, hadn't Conan noticed how far Ran Mouri and Karuda had progressed in their relationship?
Is it that they genuinely don't know, or are they just deceiving themselves?
What if Izuki Karuda finds out about this little trick...
Just thinking,
Vermouth quickly saw Conan slip and fall inexplicably, hitting his head on the ground and bleeding profusely.
Fortunately, the temple floor was made of wood, and Conan's altitude was limited, so his injuries were not serious.
Vermouth felt a sudden chill run down her spine:
It seems that Izuki Karuda most likely knows Conan's true identity.
Considering the previous rumors that Izuki Karuta cursed Shinichi Kudo to death, perhaps Ran Mouri's motive was...
The more Vermouth thought about it, the more unfathomable Izuki Shūda seemed, as if he had complete control over everything.
Izuki Karuta couldn't understand it either.
Judging from the events in the dream, Conan should already have a new love interest, so why is he still thinking of doing these little tricks?
Is it simply jealousy that he's handsome?
More than two hours later,
With a bandage wrapped around his forehead, Conan once again stole the identity of Kogoro Mouri and successfully found the real culprit in the case—the youngest and shortest of the four monks.
As for the motive for killing the old monk, it was to avenge his brother...
Izuki Karuta had no interest in learning more details.
While waiting for the case to be solved, Izuki Shigeta was not idle. She helped Koizumi Akako set her sprained left ankle and secretly used evil energy to clear her blood vessels.
After the case was closed, Koizumi Akako was able to walk normally.
After that, the group took a car down the mountain.
At the market near the foot of the mountain, people can buy clothes or groceries.
Alternatively, you can find a laundromat to wash and dry the clothes you changed out of last night.
Everyone was busy with their own tasks.
At 5 p.m., the five people met at the agreed place.
Then they climbed the mountain again.
Today, however, is an exceptionally sunny and bright day.
The mountain path, which had become muddy due to the rain, dried out under the sun's heat and became firm.
