Chapter 787 Mao Lilan: I want to exchange Conan for Xuanhua
"Brother Chi Feichi," Huiyuan Ai walked up to Chi Feichi and asked speechlessly, "Are you writing a haiku poem?"
The format is also wrong.
“No,” Yuan Hai came back to his senses and looked at Haihara Ai with a smile, “I just wanted to ask if your brother wants to put on new straw sandals when the sun goes down.”
In the corridor behind, Long Yuan led the Death Team to the door, "The host is receiving distinguished guests..."
Mao Lilan turned around and looked surprised, "Huh?"
Mouri Kogoro and Suzuki Sonoko, who had come to Kyoto to play with him, looked over. After seeing a certain brown-haired lolita, they looked at it a little more uncertainly.
That luxurious kimono...did they recognize the wrong person?
It seems that there is no mistake, it is Hui Yuan Ai.
The man in black kimono with his back to them couldn't be Chi Feichi, right?
Conan half-moon eye, silent.
They have all come to Kyoto, how can they still meet these two people?
In the courtyard, Haiyuan Ai was stunned for a moment before he realized what it meant.
Long ago, there was a superstitious saying in many places in Japan: when the sun goes down, if you put on new straw sandals, you will turn into a fox.
Yuan Hai’s presiding means that her family’s non-Brother Chi is a fox who turned into a spirit.
“Master Yuanhai, this is what Shintoism says.” Chi Feichi reminded Yuanhai not to act recklessly.
Yuan Hai smiled nonchalantly and said, "Only when you know everything can you be reasonable!"
"That's not true," Haiyuan Ai pretended to be a little girl, looked up at Yuan Hai seriously, and secretly teased Chi Fei Chi, "Brother Fei Chi is not a fox, he is a cherry blossom demon!"
“Oh? Hahaha...” Yuan Hai smiled happily.
Haihara Ai gave Chi Feichi a provocative look. Just as he was about to regain his cool expression, he suddenly found Chi Feichi squatting down in front of him, a little confused.
Chi Feichi reached out and turned Hui Yuan Ai’s head towards the courtyard.
Come on, please play another one.
Haibara Ai saw Conan, Mao Lilan, Maori Kogoro, and Suzuki Sonoko standing there stunned, and they also fell into a sluggish state.
Why do acquaintances appear suddenly?
Follow the public account: Book Friends Base Camp, follow and you will get cash and coins!
Mao Lilan came back to her senses, walked forward quickly and squatted down, hugging the kimono little loli, "Xiao Ai was so cute just now~!"
I want to hug, nuzzle, and lift me high, but I don’t know how to exchange Conan for Brother Feichi... Well, forget it, that would be too cruel to Conan, but it’s nice to have a cute and beautiful little sister, dressed up beautifully
It's as bright as a doll.
Conan stepped forward and looked at Haihara Ai with extremely complex eyes.
Someone always complains that he is pretending to be a kid, but he turns out to be very active in pretending behind his back!
Haibara Ai:"……"
She was possessed by the Sakura Demon just now. I don’t know if Edogawa believes it or not...
"Brother Fei Chi, it's really you!" Ling Muyuanzi was surprised and greeted Chi Fei Chi who turned around, and then looked at Haibara Ai who was being hugged by Mao Lilan, "I just saw the look of this kid.
, I almost didn’t dare to recognize it!”
Mao Lilan picked up Haiyuan Ai, turned around and asked Suzuki Sonoko with a smile, "Very cute, right?"
"No, she usually looks mature. I thought..." Suzuki Sonoko looked at Haibara Ai who was being hugged and looked hopeless, and joked with a smile, "But Xiao Ai was really cute just now.
Yeah, isn’t it nice to look like this normally?”
Haibara Ai:"……"
She knew that Suzuki Sonoko would not let go of this opportunity to tease...
“I mean, it’s much better like this today,” Mouri Kogoro walked closer, “Why are you here too?”
"I brought Xiao Ai to Kyoto to play," Chi Feichi said calmly, "Teacher, what about you?"
Mouri Kogoro felt like he was being invaded by the air-conditioning, his mind became much clearer, his back straightened slightly, he put his right hand into a fist in front of his lips, coughed dryly, "Ahem, it was Master Ryuugen from this temple who called Detective Mouri
The office said that they wanted to entrust me to help investigate something. As for Xiaolan, Conan and Sonoko, they followed me to Kyoto for a walk."
“Host, this is Mr. Kogoro Mouri, the famous detective,” monk Ryūen introduced, “Mr. Mouri, let me introduce to you, this is the host Enkai.”
Yuanhai clasped his hands together and said, "Mr. Maori."
“Ah, hello, host.” Mouri Kogoro smiled.
“I heard that Mr. Mori has arrived?”
The three people who had been competing in swordsmanship all came out of the backyard with enthusiastic attitudes.
“Mr. Mori, these three are the benefactors of the temple,” Monk Ryūen introduced the three men to Kogoro Mori. “This is Mr. Sakura Shozo who runs an antique shop on Teramachi Street.”
Sakura Masazo, who is short and stocky and wears a pair of round glasses, smiled and said, "You are Mr. Mori, I have long admired your name!"
Mori Kogoro scratched his head and laughed, "Oh, am I so famous?"
Ryuumao then looked at the elegant and handsome young man wearing a kimono next to him, "The man next to him is Mr. Mizuo Harutaro, the young successor of the Noh drama Mizuo."
With a polite and reserved smile on his face, Mizuo Harutaro said, "Hello, Mr. Mori."
Ryuyuen looked at the tall, thin man wearing glasses again, "This is Mr. Taiga Saijo who runs an ancient bookstore."
“Hello, Mr. Mori.” Saijo Taiga said with a sincere and cheerful smile.
Chi Feichi understood at a glance that these three people were all from a wealthy family. They came to Shannou Temple early in the morning. They probably heard that the temple had invited Mouri Kogoro to come over and wanted to get acquainted with them.
There is absolutely no harm in getting acquainted with a great detective who is famous in Kanto. Whether it is to expand your network or to entrust you with troubles in the future, it can be regarded as a way.
“Rather than being donors, it’s better to say that we are all fellow swordsmen,” Yuan Hai said with a smile, “But I am a little surprised that Mr. Mao Li and Mr. Chi actually know each other.”
“I’m learning about reasoning from Teacher Maori,” Chi Feichi explained.
Mouri Kogoro smiled, "I didn't expect to meet Feichi here. By the way, I heard that your temple has a Buddha statue that is only exhibited once every 12 years. The day after tomorrow is the day of the exhibition, right?"
“We want to see it too,” Mao Lilan looked expectantly at Yuan Hai as host, “That’s why we came all the way!”
Yuan Hai was silent for a moment. In front of Chi Feichi, the ‘donor’, he confessed that the Medicine Buddha statue had been stolen. Would it affect the image of Shanneng Temple?
But Chi Feichi is the apprentice of Kogoro Mori, so he can't hide this kind of thing, so he might as well be honest.
Thinking about it, Yuan Hai smiled and said, "I think Medicine Master Tathagata will also be happy."
This is a promise.
When Long Yuan took Mouri Kogoro and his group to the attic, Chi Feichi and Haibara Ai also followed.
After entering the door, Long Yuancai told him that the Medicine Buddha statue had been stolen.
"That was eight years ago." Long Yuan unlocked the cabinet, opened the door, and looked at the only two remaining Buddha statues. "On the right is the Sunlight Bodhisattva, and on the left is the Moonlight Bodhisattva. Originally, the Medicine Buddha was in the middle.
It looked like it had been stolen. I originally wanted to call the police immediately, but the host stopped me. He said that if we are destined, maybe one day we can meet again with this Medicine Buddha statue."
“He is really open-minded!” Mouri Kogoro said speechlessly.
Long Yuan re-locked the cupboard door, took a group of people to sit aside, made tea for everyone, then took out an envelope and handed it to Mouri Kogoro, and continued, "Eight years have passed like this. Five days ago, I
I found this letter in the mailbox at the temple..."
Mouri Kogoro took the envelope and observed it, "There was no stamp on it, and I didn't write who the sender was. It was just stuffed directly into the mailbox."
There were two pieces of paper in the envelope. On one piece of paper it was written, 'As long as you solve the mystery of this painting, you will know where the Buddha statue is.' The other piece of paper was a painting, with a tower-like figure composed of simple lines.
The top layer is painted with a red cicada, a green tengu, and a red goldfish. On the lower right corner of the layer below is a dot. After that, there are two empty layers with yellow roosters and yellow loaches, and below that are violets.
, green tengu, purple Mount Fuji, and a side-by-side purple oak chestnut painted outside the tower line.
"Hmm..." Mouri Kogoro looked at the painting that looked like a child's graffiti attentively, with a drop of sweat falling on his forehead, "What is this painting?"
Chi Feichi gathered with others and looked at the copies on the table.
“The yellow loach is really disgusting!” Suzuki Sonoko complained.
“What is this dot?” Mao Lilan pointed to the dot on the second layer of the copy in confusion.
"It can't be ink marks, right?" Suzuki Sonoko guessed, turning to ask Chi Feichi, "Brother Feichi, can you understand the meaning of this painting?"
Chi Feichi remained silent and did not say a word.
Mao Lilan was unsure, "Dad, can you find the Buddha statue before the day after tomorrow?"
"You don't have to worry!" Mouri Kogoro sweated and pretended to be relaxed, "This kind of puzzle is just a trivial matter. With your father's help, it can be solved easily!"
Conan laughed dryly, uncle, what he said was too full.
“Leave the matter of finding Buddha statues to the experts,” Suzuki Sonoko suggested to Mao Lilan, “I think we should go visit Kyoto, how about that?”
"That's good, that's good," Mouri Kogoro immediately agreed, "You guys will only get in the way here!"
Mao Lilan smiled at Suzuki Sonoko and said, "To tell you the truth, I had a phone call with Kazuye before coming here. She said that she could take us two to visit Kyoto tomorrow. However, she has something to do with her persuasion department, so I'm afraid she can't come over."
“For those of you who already have a girlfriend, it doesn’t matter if you don’t come,” Suzuki Sonoko said.
Conan was a little regretful. He thought he would meet Hattori's friends this time, so that he, Chi Feichi, and Hattori could gather together again to compete in deciphering the codes.
“Conan,” Mao Lilan turned to Conan and asked, “Do you want to go together?”
"I won't go tomorrow," Conan said with a smile. "I want to go fishing with Brother Chi by the river..."
With that said, he turned to Chi Feichi and asked, "Brother Chi will take me there, right?"
Hint, crazy hint: Where are you going on the street? Let’s figure out the code together, friends!
Chi Feichi nodded, okay, he will take the detective to play.
"Then Xiao Ai, please come with us," Mao Lilan hugged a little kimono girl again and said with a smile, "Leave Conan to Brother Fei Chi!"
Suzuki Sonoko nodded repeatedly and took a doll-like little girl to show off on the street. Thinking about it, she thought it was great, "Yes, yes, girls should be with girls!"
