A head wearing a Musashibo Benkei mask soared into the sky, fell to the ground, spun around a few times, and landed right at the feet of one of Benkei's "proud disciples."
"Teacher, master!"
The disciple looked at the extremely familiar mask and jumped back in fright. He couldn't stand still for a moment and actually fell to the ground.
His gaze slowly moved up, and he found a pair of emotionless eyes staring directly at him.
"Ah!!! Don't come over!"
This disciple felt blood rushing to the top of his head. The threat of death caused him to burst out at a speed he had never seen in his life. He sat on the ground and backed away with his hands and feet on the ground.
When the other disciples heard his shrill screams, they couldn't help but take a few steps back away from Yuanhuaiyu. They all looked at this man who looked like a god or a monster.
Young people of many years.
You must know that their master Benkei accidentally learned an ancient school in Kyoto - Yoshitsune-ryu. From then on, he regarded himself as the successor of Yoshitsune. His biggest goal in life was to become a new Yoshitsune.
Whether it is kendo or archery, Musashibo Benkei, who was able to open a dojo deep in Kurama Mountain and attract dozens of disciples, can be said to be the best among them.
Looking at the whole of Japan, Musashibo Benkei can be regarded as a top-notch master.
As for these disciples, when receiving sparring lessons from Benkei, they would be knocked down by Benkei's treacherous and difficult-to-understand sword moves within basically five moves.
But even such a powerful master had his head cut off by the man in front of him during a confrontation.
He dodged the sword, dodged, grabbed the sword, and swung the sword in one go. No one even saw his movements clearly, and Musashibo Benkei's body and head were already separated.
When they understand that the strength gap with the opponent is too outrageous, even if they have a large number of people and the opponent is alone, these people have absolutely no courage to rush forward first. Instead, they observe the reactions of their companions, hoping that someone who can stand out can break the current situation.
deadlock.
"Hey, hey, hey... I killed your dear master... According to the bullshit spirit of you swordsmen, shouldn't you rush to seek revenge on me right away? It doesn't matter if you both come together, I don't mind."
Yuan Huaiyu looked at Benqing's disciples who were getting farther and farther away from him, and persuaded them to come together with a gentle tone.
In his right hand, he held the knife used to chop off Benkei's head. This knife was shorter than an ordinary knife, and the blade reflected a strange fluorescence.
Benkei's disciples all knew that this was a poisoned blade prepared by the master just in case.
Although the master's death seemed to have nothing to do with the poison on the knife... because his head was cut off directly.
"Well, the police should be on their way here anyway. How about we just wait in peace until the police come to Yulong Temple?"
Yuan Huaiyu looked at these people and was still a little scared, so he decided to add some fire.
As soon as these words came out, Benkei's proud disciples finally couldn't stand. Of course they knew how many dirty and dirty things had been done secretly in the Gyokuryu Temple dojo. If the police surrounded the place, they would be unable to fly.
They were then taken to the police station for interrogation, and soon they would receive a long-term meal ticket of varying years.
In desperation, someone finally got the idea and thought of Master's earlier arrangement.
This man shouted into the interior of Yulong Temple: "Archers! Archers, come out quickly!"
Soon, a dozen masked men holding bows and arrows trotted out of the shadows and appeared at the edge of the courtyard.
The practice of their school is not just kendo, archery is also an important skill they need to practice.
Everyone else also understood what he meant and stepped away, allowing the archers in the distance to start shooting.
No matter how powerful a person is in martial arts, it would probably be difficult for him to deal with bows and arrows being shot from all directions, right?
If the other party understands their thoughts and breaks through from one direction, it will expose its flaws. At that time, a cold arrow flying from behind can solve it.
"Fire the arrow!"
The archers surrounding Yuanhuaiyu heard the order and at the same time loosened their most taut bow strings. More than a dozen arrows flew out from various tricky angles, but there was only one target, which was standing on the ground.
Yuanhuaiyu in the center of the encirclement!
Just when Benqing's disciples were looking at Yuanhuaiyu with expectation and fear, who was about to be pierced by random arrows, Yuanhuaiyu finally moved again.
He exerted force on his waist and bent slightly, and then he was ejected like a cannonball, aiming directly at the disciple of Benkei who had just called the archer.
The force of stepping on the ground was so strong that two circles of cracks spreading like spider webs appeared on the bricks on the ground where he landed.
He seemed to be teleporting, dodging all the other arrows just by relying on the terrifying speed. However, there was still an arrow shot from behind him, like a meteor chasing the moon, getting closer and closer to his back.
.
In the blink of an eye, Yuan Huaiyu had arrived three meters in front of the disciple, and the disciple could even see the frightening smile on Yuan Huaiyu's face.
I saw a strange pause in Yuanhuaiyu. The whole person unexpectedly changed directions perpendicular to the trajectory of the high-speed movement. His body moved three or four inches laterally, and then he stretched out his hand...
It was like there were eyes in his back, grabbing the arrow that was originally pointed at his back.
The next second, he held up this arrow, and with a speed that no one could react, he stabbed it directly at the Benkei disciple whose eyes were about to split.
The sharp arrow separated the disciple's flesh and blood, and the entire arrow penetrated his body. The arrow and the strange force from Yuan Huaiyu's hand caused him to be pinned to the ground uncontrollably.
After finishing all this, Yuan Huaiyu took out a piece of paper from his pocket and gently wiped off the blood on his hands. Listening to the painful wailing of the disciple on the ground, Yun Danfeng looked at the other people present.
Disciple of Benkei.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The Benqing disciples who witnessed this were already frightened to death. They looked at Yuan Huaiyu as if they were looking at a devil, and they no longer wanted the slightest bit.
The rebellious thoughts fled in all directions.
"It's really... boring. Are you just running away?"
Yuan Huaiyu shrugged, stuck the knife vertically on the ground, walked to Yuan Shanhe Ye who was lying on the ground, helped her to the steps aside, and sat there boredly waiting for the arrival of the police.
.
About ten minutes later, his ears moved and he caught the sound of a large number of people coming from the direction of the foot of Anma Mountain.
Finally here...
About ten minutes later, a sharp shout finally sounded from the door of Yulong Temple.
"Surround this place!"
The police finally arrived and, under the command of Ayanokouji Fumimaro, blocked every exit of Gyokuryuji Temple.
Officer Ayanokouji, who was like a handsome nobleman, was also a little out of sorts at this time.
A group of thieves kidnapped the only daughter of Chief Inspector Toyama Ginjiro, the Chief of Criminal Investigation of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and then threatened the only son of Chief Inspector Hattori Heizo of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters...
Such a vicious incident happened in Kyoto Prefecture. As a Kyoto Prefectural policeman, if he couldn't handle it properly, he really wouldn't be able to report it to his superiors.
However, after they contacted the caller, they discovered that it was Yuan Huaiyu who was quite famous among the policemen who went to Yulong Temple in Anma Mountain for an appointment.
Just now, after receiving the alarm, they dispatched urgently. Together with Hattori Heiji, Conan Xiaolan and others who had already woken up, they rushed to the depths of Kurama Mountain. However, they happened to encounter several people wearing evil ghost masks coming from the depths of the mountain.
He rushed out from the middle, mumbling words such as "I encountered a ghost."
There was only one road that had been built up and down the mountain. The Benkei disciples who tried to escape were immediately caught by the police.
Under a simple interrogation by the police, these bewildered Benkei disciples just kept repeating words like "There are monsters in Gyokuryuji Temple."
The police, who thought something unexpected had happened, became even more anxious. Only Conan and others who knew something about Yuanhuaiyu vaguely realized that the so-called monster was probably Yuanhuaiyu who went to Yulong Temple alone.
Officer Ayanokouji took the lead, stepped into the gate of Yuryuji Temple with a gun, and carefully observed the situation in the courtyard.
Two police officers stood guard behind him, guarding him against the dangers of blind spots on both sides.
But not long after the three policemen entered the courtyard, their eyes froze at the same time.
Their gazes were fixed on the ground in the courtyard.
A headless corpse lay there, and a masked head was not far away. The blood was smeared on the ground and had almost solidified.
A little further away, a man wearing the same mask as those who had just escaped had an arrow stuck in his chest and abdomen, lying on the ground moaning in despair.
"Wait! Don't come in yet!"
Officer Ayanokouji reacted quickly and shouted sharply at the entrance of the hospital.
But his movements were still a step slower. Conan and Heji had already walked into the courtyard impatiently and saw the terrifying Shura field in the courtyard.
Xiaolan was about to poke her head into the temple, but was immediately blocked by Conan and Heiji.
Although Xiaolan has seen countless murder scenes, it is better not to let her see such an impactful scene - this is the consensus of the two.
Hattori Heiji's eyes quickly swept across the courtyard, and he soon spotted Kazuha lying on the steps in front of him, and Minaokaiyu beside him.
"He Ye!"
He rushed forward, ran to He Ye and squatted down, holding up her upper body with both hands, and shouted anxiously:
"Heye, wake up!"
"Don't worry, she's fine, she just fainted temporarily." Yuan Huaiyu's voice came from the side.
Hearing this, Hattori Heiji breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Fumimaro Ayanokouji had already brought two policemen and Conan to Yuanhuaiyu.
"Mr. Yuan, this is..."
Although he already had the answer in his mind, Officer Ayanokouji still couldn't believe it.
"Oh, the guy whose head I chopped off is Musashibo Benkei, who committed the serial murder case, and the one on the other side who is not completely dead is his disciple."
Yuan Huaiyu didn't seem to pay much attention to the two people who died and the other was seriously injured. His tone was full of the feeling of "cutting some boring things again".
"They wanted to kill me, so I protected myself and that's what you saw."
Yuanhuaiyu rubbed the tip of his itchy nose and looked at Officer Ayanokouji.
"This..." Officer Ayanokouji felt a little confused when he saw Yuan Huaiyu being so frank.
In any case, no matter how legitimate the motive was, someone was still directly killed, and Officer Ayanokouji couldn't pretend he didn't see it.
After thinking for a moment, he turned to one of the policemen beside him and said: "Go and check on the person who is not dead first, and call the ambulance!"
Then, Officer Ayanokouji looked at Yuanhuaiyu and said in a consultative tone: "Mr. Yuan, this... may trouble you to go to the police station with us later, okay?"
Yuan Huaiyu nodded, this was something he expected.
After receiving the reply from Yuan Huaiyu, Officer Ayanokouji breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that this "random" guy would not show mercy to him, and he was relieved.
He led another of his men to the head, squatted down, and gently took off the mask on his head, revealing a face that remained unmoved.
"It is indeed him, Mr. Taiga Saijo. He is the one who attacked me twice in succession."
Seeing the twisted expression on this familiar face, both Hattori and Conan took a deep breath, and at the same time, their reasoning was finally confirmed.
"Did you already know it was him beforehand?"
Officer Ayanokouji turned his attention to the two of them.
"Yeah. When I asked the suspects who knew how to use a bow and arrow, he was the only one who deliberately concealed the fact."
Heiji explained.
"The way he sat down was the 'half-legged' posture that people who practice kyudo usually use, and he also inadvertently said the proper nouns like 'yazuku'. It's hard not to think that he is actually right.
There are people who are involved in archery. The deliberate concealment speaks volumes."
Officer Ayanokouji thought of another doubt: "What about the murder weapon? How did the knife he used to kill Sakura Masazo get out of the teahouse?"
"It's very simple, because there is a wedge river in front of the teahouse. After committing the murder, he only needs to put the knife and gloves in a plastic bottle, and then put a positioning device in the plastic bottle, so that he can recover the murder weapon without leaving any trace afterwards.
.”
Conan immediately revealed the conspiracy and tricks used by Saijo Taiga.
"So that's it..." Ayanokouji Fumimaro nodded.
"Now there is another question, and that is...where is the hidden Buddha statue in Yulong Temple..."
Although they have solved the mystery of the pattern left by Benkei, they also believe that Benkei, who has always used this temple as his base, must have searched here countless times.
All of this leaves only one final mystery.
"If I guessed correctly, it should be that small building over there. I just observed that the buildings here are arranged exactly to form a 'yu' character, and that small building is the one in the character 'yu'."
A point.”
Yuan Huaiyu's voice appeared at the right time, answering the last doubts for several people.
