On the evening when the group came to Kyoto, Kazuye, Xiaolan and Sonoko finished their afternoon tour of Kyoto and returned to Sanno Temple.
But somewhat surprisingly, they did not see Mouri Kogoro.
After they asked the abbot, they learned that Uncle Maori had been taken to a place of debauchery by the monk who invited him, along with several other people who had come to Sannou Temple in the morning.
Just when the three of them were about to go out to find Mouri Kogoro, they happened to meet the tired Conan and Heiji at the gate of the temple.
"Hattori and Conan? Where have you been today?"
Xiaolan asked in surprise.
"Uh... This kid and I wanted to uncover the mystery of that picture together, so we spent the whole day running around various places in Kyoto..."
Heiji replied.
"So what's going on? Has the mystery been solved?" Sonoko took a step forward with her hands on her hips, leaning forward slightly, looking at Hattori Heiji.
"Not yet... That puzzle is really difficult." Hattori Heiji shook his head.
"By the way, uncle, has he untied it?" Conan asked quickly.
"Speaking of this..." When Mao Lilan heard her father's name, she thought that he was still hanging out with a group of people, and her blood pressure suddenly rose.
She briefly told Conan and Heiji about the situation, and then the five of them set off together to find Mouri Kogoro at the location mentioned by the abbot.
What Conan and Heiji didn't tell them was that they had a chase scene with a mysterious man in the evening not long ago.
The mysterious man was holding a bow and arrow in the dark, trying to shoot Hattori Heiji. Conan pushed Hattori away in time and missed. The mysterious man fled all the way, while Conan and Heiji chased behind him, trying to catch up with him.
people.
Unfortunately, this man was too well prepared in advance, and Conan and Heiji failed to catch him in the end.
The five people came to Ponto-cho talking and laughing, and found one of the famous teahouses - [Sakuraya].
This is where the abbot told Xiaolan and the others where Kogoro Mouri is.
In a private room in Sakuraya, the sound of pipa played along with melodious singing. A beauty with her face painted in white and gorgeously dressed was dancing to the song, firmly attracting the attention of several visitors on the other side of the private room.
Mouri Kogoro was among them. He was already a little drunk, his face was red, and he looked dizzy at the woman dancing in the private room.
Finally, the music stopped, and the dancing maiko Chika Suzu also completed her last movements, sat on the tatami, and bowed to several guests.
"Pah, pah, pah!"
Continuous applause instantly filled the elegant room, among which Kogoro Mori applauded the loudest.
"Okay! Ms. Chika Suzu is number one in Japan!"
The uncle shouted excitedly.
"Thank you... thank you for your compliments." Chiga Suzu, who was appreciated, bowed slightly again without being humble or overbearing.
"Come! Help Mr. Mori pour the wine!" The monk from Sannou Temple hurriedly called to Chika Suzu.
If Kogoro Mouri can help Sannoji Temple recover the Buddha statue of Yakushi Tathagata, then he will definitely be rewarded as the leader, and maybe he will be directly appointed as the next abbot.
The other three people present all have more or less plots against Medicine Buddha, and naturally they would not object to the fact that among the five people present, the famous detective Mouri Kogoro is the main one.
Chika Suzu stood up, walked to Mouri Kogoro, picked up the wine glass for him: "Please use it."
"Ah..." Mouri Kogoro seemed to have never seen this kind of battle many times. His face turned even redder and he touched his head at a loss:
"Mouri Kogoro seems to be in heaven..."
"Then you'll never come back!"
"puff!"
Hearing his daughter's voice, Mouri Kogoro, who was drinking, immediately squirted out most of the wine and looked nervously at the door of the private room.
"Why are you here?" Mouri Kogoro felt a little panic in his heart.
Judging from the current situation, his daughter has come to find him, and the happy time he expected tonight may be far away from him...
"The abbot told us." Yuanzi looked at the people sitting around the table.
"It turns out it was the abbot who said it... Then why don't you guys sit down together?" the monk warmly invited.
He asked the waiter to add some new cushions to the table. At this time, Hattori Heiji, who was walking at the end, also walked in and happened to sit in the vacant seat next to the maiko Chika Suzu.
"Huh? Are you..." He soon found that the woman next to him looked familiar.
"My name is Chiga Suzu, and I was grateful to you for your help before." Chiga Suzu smiled and looked at Hattori Heiji.
"Heiji, do you two know each other?" Kazuha asked immediately.
"We met once." Hattori Heiji didn't say much.
In fact, when he came to meet Conan, he happened to pass by a robbery on the street. When he saw something wrong, he drew a knife to help, and easily knocked down the robber and returned the wallet he snatched.
Chika Suzu and her mother-san.
"Really! As long as I don't pay attention to you, you will do whatever you want!" On the other side, Mao Lilan was scolding her unreliable father.
"Xiaolan, please don't blame your father. After all, we invited him here." The monk quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Yes, we would like to ask the famous detective how he reasoned about Genji Hotaru's case." said a man with a big belly who looked like a businessman.
Everyone at the table exchanged cups, and people from Sakuraya kept bringing all kinds of delicious snacks. The atmosphere at the table quickly became lively. From Genji Hotaru to Yoshitsune, from Yoshitsune to
Benkei.
Not long after, the businessman turned to look at the steward of Sakuraya who was accompanying him: "I'm a little tired today, and I drank so much wine. Can you let me rest in the room below?"
"No problem, there are no other guests today anyway..."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, please wake me up at nine o'clock!" The businessman stood up, apologized to everyone present, and followed the Sakuraya staff.
The room below is temporarily used for rest.
Yuanzi felt that the room was a little stuffy, so he stood up, opened the window, and soon discovered something: "Wow! There is a small river outside!"
"That's right, that's the Kamogawa River."
Yuanzi called to Xiaolan and Kazuye: "Come and see! The cherry blossoms are blooming so beautifully!"
The two of them came to her side, looked out the window, and both sighed.
Beside the clear Kamogawa River, there are white lights under each cherry blossom tree, which shine on the blooming cherry blossoms from bottom to top. Compared with the cherry blossoms seen during the day, they have a different flavor.
Many tourists sat, stood or walked along the Kamogawa River, bathing in the refreshing and slightly cool evening breeze and admiring the cherry blossoms.
There are many couples among them.
"Huh? That's not..." Sharp-eyed Xiaolan seemed to notice a few familiar figures passing by. She was about to call her friends to take a look, but she heard that her father was being dishonest again.
After giving a good lesson to Mouri Kogoro who wanted to get closer to Chika Suzu, Xiaolan returned to the window, only to find that those familiar figures had disappeared.
"Xiaolan, who did you see just now?" Yuanzi asked curiously.
"No, maybe I saw it wrong..." Xiaolan shook her head.
Conan and Heiji next to him seemed to have made a discovery as well.
A young man in a suit was standing on the bank of the wedge river between their location and the Kamogawa River with his hands in his pockets.
"Officer Ayanokouji?"
"What is he doing there?"
The two of them suddenly became confused.
Shouldn't this policeman be pursuing the serial murder case related to Hotaru Genji? Why would he appear in a place like this?
"Hey, you guys, you can go to the terrace to enjoy the cherry blossoms and the moon later! The Meteorological Bureau said that the clouds will disperse tonight and you can see the beautiful moonscape!" said an elegant man who was one of the guests.
"Let's go!" Yuanzi immediately said excitedly to his two friends Xiaolan and Ye.
"Let's stay here." Conan and Heiji didn't seem very interested in this kind of thing.
"Huh? Why?" Kazuye glanced at Qianhe Ling beside him, "You don't have a crush on her, do you?"
"What's the matter? Am I the kind of person who can't walk when I see a beautiful woman?"
Hattori Heiji was speechless that his childhood sweetheart regarded him as an unreliable and lecherous person like Uncle Mori.
…
"That guy Hattori Heiji... Although he is really reliable when he is reliable, he cannot resist some irresistible force that makes him do some incomprehensible behaviors..."
On the bank of the Kamogawa River, Yuanhuaiyu crossed his arms behind his head, talking and walking while admiring the beautiful scenery of light and shadow with the cherry blossoms flying on the bank of the Kamogawa River.
Next to him were two sisters from the Miyano family.
"When we met on the ghost ship, he seemed to be a relatively reliable detective..." Miyano Akemi had limited contact with Hattori Heiji, and they only had contact for a period of time on the previous ghost ship.
She thinks this high school detective boy from Osaka is quite good and quite reliable as a detective.
Haibara Ai thought carefully about how many times she had seen Hattori Heiji, and subconsciously held Yuan Huaiyu's sleeve:
"Indeed. And doesn't he have a childhood sweetheart? Like Kudo's little sister from the Maori family."
Yuanhuaiyu felt that his head was a bit big. However, this big head was not mainly directed at Hattori Heiji, but more towards a certain old thief from Qingshan who frequently did tricks: "Yeah...he and Ye Heiji
When I was a child, I was handcuffed together by mistake and was forced to be locked up for a long time."
"In the later incident at Mermaid Island, Kazuyana completely ignored her own life and death and only wanted to protect Heiji from being dragged down by her..."
"I just don't understand...why Hattori Heiji, such a good girl, can...ahem."
Yuan Huaiyu stopped suddenly. He just had a premonition that if he continued to "spoiler", something bad might happen to him.
He was very familiar with the will just now, it was the will of Ke Xue's universe that he had studied for hundreds of years.
He changed the topic: "Kazuha also thinks that Heiji's first love is in Kyoto... Although it is unnecessary for her to search for enemies in the air, but for her, the biggest threat is indeed in Kyoto..."
Ooka Momiji, a strange woman who began to regard Hattori Heiji as her future fiance because she misheard what Hattori Heiji said when she was a child.
"Mr. Yuan, are what you said today true?" Compared to Yuan Huaiyu's somewhat obscure soliloquy, Miyano Akemi was more concerned about what Yuan Huaiyu said this afternoon.
"There's no need for me to lie to you... Although I seem to have a lot of experience, that's all knowledge from the two hundred romance comics I've read... I'm indeed single all the time, okay...
"
Yuan Huaiyu sighed, and understood why Miyano Akemi was so concerned about his situation in this regard.
He is not blind, nor is he a novice who doesn't understand at all. He has seen Haihara Ai's change in attitude towards him, especially his recent behavior of clinging to him more and more, and he can probably guess it.
It can be said that Haihara Ai's favorability towards him is steadily increasing.
As a sister, Miyano Akemi can clearly feel that for her sister, the specialness of Yuanhuaiyu is almost irreplaceable.
In her opinion, her younger sister had thought that she had lost her parents since she was a child. At the same time, she lived in the shadow of the Karasuma Group. Her overall personality was somewhat dull and introverted, and she could only face her sister.
Only then will you open your heart.
Miyano Akemi even felt that if her sister really felt dependent on Yuanhuaiyu, she would be happy to serve as a wingman and provide assists.
After all, she and her parents had discussed that if she wanted to find the most trustworthy person in the Miyano family, it would be Yuan Huaiyu who had not run away.
Regardless of his character, ability or everything he has done for them, they all recognized this man from the bottom of their hearts.
Since my sister has already made up her mind, Miyano Akemi must give her full support.
When Hui Yuan Ai heard Yuan Huaiyu's answer, various emotions surged in her heart, and her hand that grabbed his sleeve couldn't help but tighten a little tighter.
"No matter how many years have passed, the scenery here is still as beautiful as ever..."
A wry smile suddenly appeared on Yuan Huaiyu's face.
"It's just that we may have to walk a little faster. It's rare to be able to travel and enjoy the beautiful scenery. I don't want to be involved in strange cases by those guys again..."
"Hmm...Mr. Gen, what does this mean?" Miyano Akemi looked at him puzzled.
"Is there any problem here?" Haiyuan Ai also raised his face slightly.
Yuan Huaiyu sighed softly: "There is no problem with this place. But if those people are around here, even if there is no problem, it will become a problem. We'd better stay away from this place of right and wrong..."
Before he finished speaking, a piercing scream came from a building on the riverside behind the three of them.
