"The carotid artery was severed with a sharp knife."
After Mouri Kogoro ordered Xiaolan to call the police car and ambulance, he and Conan Heiji squatted beside the body in front of them to check its condition.
The deceased was the man who looked like a pot-bellied businessman, and he was now lying in a pool of blood, dying with his eyes closed.
"This technique is really neat..." Hattori Heiji took a deep breath, "This and the recent murder case are probably done by the same person..."
"Before the police come, can you please go to the room just now and wait for a while?"
Mouri Kogoro also emphasized: "No one can leave here!"
…
"Sure enough, something happened." Yuan Huaiyu had already pulled Haihara Ai and Miyano Akemi out of some distance.
"Mr. Yuan, do you know what is going on?" Miyano Akemi frowned slightly. Yuan Huaiyu had shown this kind of ability to predict the unknown more than once in front of her, and he could always say it accurately.
The causes and consequences of the incident and the next direction of development.
"Let's talk as we walk." Yuan Huaiyu took Haiyuan Ai's hand that was holding the corner of his clothes and quickened his pace slightly.
"The scream just now should be related to the serial murder case that has been causing a lot of noise recently." He said.
"Is it the case that the Kansai detective invited us to solve together?"
Haiyuan Ai felt the heat coming from her hands, her expression was a little unnatural, and she spoke subconsciously, hoping to distract some attention.
"That's right. The person who died just now was Ise Saburo of Genji Hotaru's criminal gang. In other words, judging from the known situation, except for Yoshitsune and Benkei who don't know the situation, all other Genji Hotaru's
All members have been killed."
Yuan Huaiyu showed no mercy at all for the death of members of such a theft gang. He continued:
"Actually, their leader Yoshitsune also passed away not long ago."
"Ah? That means..." Miyano Akemi opened her mouth wide.
"As you might imagine, the culprit behind this series of murders is the only one alive among this group of people - Benkei."
Yuan Huaiyu explained everything he knew:
"Eight years ago, the Genji Hotaru Group stole the Medicine Buddha statue from Sanno-ji Temple at night, but later they discovered that the white hair on the forehead and eyebrows of the stolen Buddha statue had disappeared at some point."
"You must know that a Yakushi Tathagata statue without white hair is a defective product, an incomplete thing, and it is impossible to sell it at a good price. However, the next day, when Genji Hotaru's people returned to Sanno Temple to look for the fallen statue,
When white hair..."
"They found nothing until later, through that gossip magazine, they saw Hattori Heiji showing off to reporters the tokens of his and his 'first love'."
"Hattori Heiji would not know that the gem he picked up was not dropped by the girl, but came from the Medicine Buddha Buddha."
"If the parties involved don't know about it, it's naturally even less likely that the Genji Hotaru Group will know about it."
"So this group of thieves searched hard for eight years. Even until their leader Yoshitsune passed away not long ago, they didn't get any news."
"Before Yoshitsune died, he copied the location of the Yakushi Tathagata statue stolen that day using a pattern containing a code that only he knew, and distributed it to his subordinates. As long as he deciphers the mystery of the picture, he will naturally know
The location of the Buddha statue. At the same time, the person who solves the mystery is the next leader."
"You know, the Medicine Buddha statue they stole back then is a priceless cultural relic. As long as they can get their hands on it, it will be a huge sum of money."
"Although the location of the treasure has not yet been determined, they at least know that the peko is in the hands of Hattori Heiji. At the same time, they invited the famous detective Mouri Kogoro with the help of Sannoji Temple. They hope that this famous detective can help them find it.
That’s where the treasure is hidden.”
"It's just that our murderer, Mr. Benkei, didn't actually intend to get involved and kill his former companions at first. Instead, Ise Saburo, who just died tonight, came to him, hoping to create this
A series of murder cases eliminated other members of the former Genji Hotaru gang one by one, and then the two of them worked together to decipher the secret of the Buddha image, found Peko, sold the Buddha image, and then divided the stolen money equally..."
"Isesaburo's apparent identity is that of an antique dealer. He has already found a seller to ship the goods, so he boldly and confidently believed that he was safe. But what he didn't expect was that his man who was proficient in kendo and archery
My good friend has already made up his mind to kill everyone. It can be said that he is seeking skin from a tiger..."
Yuanhuaiyu finally let out a sigh. In fact, if it weren't for the blessing of Conan and Hattori's double death halo, maybe the world line would not have developed like this, and the unlucky Mr. Ise Saburo would not have died an unexpected death...
"Mr. Yuan, since you know the causes and consequences of these things, why don't you..." Miyano Akemi is still a little confused.
"Why don't you just tell the police what I know?" Yuan Huaiyu shrugged, "Although I can indeed use the identity of the public security policeman to reveal the truth to the police, but even without me, the two detectives must have
Someone who can reason out all this."
The implication of his words was very clear - I don't want to bother with this matter. What does Genji Hotaru's life and death have to do with me?
However, Haihara Ai discovered the key point in what he just said: "Public security police?"
She was already a little confused. A science teacher, a powerful figure in the organization, and now a public security policeman, Yuan Huaiyu seemed to have too many identities...
"In Japan, some things are a little troublesome to do. At this time, the identity of the Japanese public security police is quite useful."
Yuan Huaiyu explained, looking up at the bright full moon and the cherry blossom trees on both sides swaying in the breeze.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Don't think about these things for the time being. Since you are here to travel, let's leave other things behind."
He excitedly said to the Miyano sisters: "I know there is a shop that serves pretty good late-night snacks, but I don't know if it is still there after all these years... How about we go together after enjoying the flowers and the moon?"
"I have no problem." Hui Yuan Ai nodded lightly.
Miyano Akemi deliberately lagged half a step behind. Looking at Yuan Huaiyu and Haihara Ai, she only felt relieved and happy.
A year ago, she would never have dared to imagine that she and her sister could stroll along the river embankment in the evening breeze and enjoy the beautiful scenery like this.
…
Early the next morning, Yuanhuaiyu took the sisters to visit several famous tourist attractions and appreciate the historical and cultural heritage of Kyoto Prefecture.
When they returned to the hotel at noon, Yuanhuaiyu and Miyano Akemi seemed to be fine, but Haihara Ai, who was still a first-year elementary school student, was already struggling with her physical strength.
"Xiao Ai, just rest well in the hotel, your sister will stay with you."
Yuan Huaiyu looked at the feeble Hui Yuan Ai and said.
"Are you going out?" Hui Yuan Ai keenly heard the meaning behind his words.
Yuan Huaiyu nodded: "Yes, we still have to go out. After all, he kindly invited us to come to Kyoto to play, so we can't forget the serious things he wants to solve."
He stretched out his hand and touched Haiyuan Ai's hair: "Don't worry, they should have almost arrived at the same conclusion. I'll go over and have a look in case anything unexpected happens, and I'll be back in the evening."
"Okay, you have to be careful." Hui Yuan Ai shrank her neck slightly, but did not break away from Kai Yuan Huaiyu's hand that was placed on her head and caressing her head.
Miyano Akemi watched on the side and muttered involuntarily:
"It's better for others to be careful... If he is not Mr. Yuan, a being like him who can be called a monster would be good if he doesn't hurt others..."
…
Time quickly advanced to the evening, and Conan and Heiji, who had just cracked the mystery of the picture left by Yoshitsune, had arrived at the location of the prompt.
The picture is actually related to the road song that is familiar to Kyoto people. Each pattern represents a specific place or a specific road.
The two connected this picture with the map of Kyoto, and the final result was the word "jade".
Among them, the most special and critical point of "jade" is the place where they are now, Foguang Temple.
"But... Kudo, is that Buddha statue really hidden here?"
Hattori Heiji felt that this temple was a little weird. Logically speaking, this temple could be said to be near a busy city. In fact, it was not a good place to hide a Buddha statue, because it was likely to be noticed by others in the process.
"I also feel something is not right..."
Conan lowered his head and pondered, and a picture suddenly flashed in his mind. It was the scene when the two of them entered the Foguang Temple when they first arrived.
At that time, both of them ignored one thing!
He turned around and ran towards the door. Although Hattori didn't know why, he could guess that he had discovered something and followed closely behind.
The two of them ran to the intersection and saw a stone tablet that read: "Ruins of Yulong Temple."
"Gyokuryuji Temple?" Hattori Heiji frowned.
Just then, his cell phone rang.
He picked up the phone and looked at it, only to find that it was Yuan Shan and Ye calling.
"Hey, Kazuya..."
What he didn't expect was that the voice that came out of the phone was a man's voice, and the next words made him change his expression immediately.
"This girl is in my hands. If you want her to survive, come to Yulong Temple alone in Anma Mountain in an hour! If you dare to call the police, this girl will die!"
On the other end of the phone, a girl's voice that he was very familiar with faintly came from: "Heiji, you can't come, you will be killed!"
"He Ye!"
He hung up the phone and said to Conan with an ugly face: "Heye was kidnapped! The gangster asked me to go to the Yulong Temple in Anma Mountain in an hour."
Conan's eyes lit up: "That's just right, the two of us will be together...wait a minute, Hattori!"
He originally thought that going to Gyokuryuji Temple to rescue Kazuha and solving the mystery of the hiding place of the Buddha statue could be solved together, but when he turned around, he found that Hattori Heiji covered his head and fell weakly to the ground.
Only then did he realize that Hattori Heiji had another duel with the mysterious man last night. The mysterious man used the knife that killed Ise Saburo and left several scars on Hattori Heiji.
Moreover, there are toxins on the knife. Originally, Hattori Heiji was fine after recuperating for a long time and was just a little weak. However, after hearing the news that Toyama Kazuha was kidnapped, the Kansai high school detective was furious.
He was swollen, touched the wound again, and fainted to the ground.
Conan gritted his teeth and secretly said something was wrong. He struggled to lift Heiji up from the ground. After calling to no avail, he understood that the matter had become truly critical.
His brain was running rapidly. He must go to the Gyokuryu Temple, but the other party pointed out that Hattori Heiji should go there alone. Now Hattori Heiji has passed out. If he doesn't get there in an hour, there is no guarantee that the gangster will do what he did.
What's going on.
"Damn it... By the way, Haiyuan might be there..."
He suddenly remembered that Haihara Ai was also in Kyoto, and she might have a temporary APTX-4869 antidote there.
If he could turn into Kudo Shinichi and go to the appointment, at least he could barely solve his urgent need.
Just when he was about to take out his cell phone to call Haiyuan Ai, a hand suddenly appeared from behind him and pressed on the hand he had just taken out the cell phone on.
"who?!"
At this moment, Conan was in a state of trembling, and the grass and trees were all at war. He was startled by the sudden big hand, and he quickly took a step forward and looked back behind him.
But when he saw that familiar face, he immediately relaxed.
"Teacher Yuan...why are you here?"
The person who appeared in front of him was Yuan Huaiyu, whom he had never met or contacted since arriving in Kyoto. He even forgot that his teacher was also in Kyoto.
Yuan Huaiyu looked at Conan with a smile: "Of course I came here because they need me here."
He kept a relaxed smile on his face and pointed at Hattori Heiji, who was lying unconscious on the ground: "I probably know everything. Conan, just settle this guy Hattori. As for Yulong Temple...
I'll go over there."
Conan breathed a long sigh of relief. He knew very well about Yuanhuaiyu's ability and couldn't trust him more. Now that he heard that Yuanhuaiyu offered to go to Yuryuji Temple to rescue Toyama Kazuha in place of the unconscious Hattori Heiji, he could
Said it was quite reassuring.
"Then leave it to Teacher Yuan." He said solemnly.
Yuan Huaiyu waved his hand at him, turned around and walked into the afterglow of the setting sun, leaving only one sentence.
"Don't worry. If Hattori guy wakes up, tell me that I will definitely bring his sweetheart back safely."
It was no longer dazzling, but instead made people feel like some warm sunlight was shining on his body, casting a long shadow.
