Chapter 575 The kidnapped Toyama Kazuki

 After successfully sending the young detective team back to Sannoji Temple, neither Heiji Hattori nor Conan Edogawa chose to stay there. They were worried about Sosuke Takaji's injury and were also confused by the coded message that could not be cracked.

Hattori Heiji rubbed his hair irritably. He sat on the wooden chair under the tree in confusion, frowning and slashing at Conan:

"Kudo, do you think Brother Takaji cracked the code message? Otherwise, he wouldn't be hunted down by the murderer, right?"

"There is a possibility, but I am more inclined to think that Brother Takaji realized who the murderer was, and perhaps he encountered an accident while tracking." Edogawa Conan couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this, he held his chin and wondered:

"Really, Brother Yingji always tells us to pay attention to safety, why don't we pay attention when we encounter him."

"Yes. But having said that, I just found my first love, so I think she should be able to rule out suspicion."

Edogawa Conan looked at Hattori Heiji speechlessly, with a hint of disgust in his tone:

"Please, just because she is your first love, we can't just rule out the suspicion, right? Who is your first love? Is it Ms. Chiga Suzu?"

"Bingo, that's her. Just now she sang the song that my first love sang when I was a child, and her age and background are completely consistent. It's definitely her." Hattori Heiji didn't forget to hum a few lines of the lyrics after finishing speaking, but Kudo's expression changed.

Already.

It's not that he reacted to hearing that he found his first love, but the lyrics of this song... something seemed wrong?

Isn't Maruzhu-ni-ochi Oike the same name as Maruta-machi, Takeya-machi, Ikawa, Nijo, Oshikoji and Oike?

Edogawa Conan took out the code letter. He looked at the picture on it and suddenly understood:

"I see, this coded letter refers to the roads in Kyoto. If they are connected, wouldn't they become one word?"

"Really? Let me see!"

Hattori Heiji grabbed the code letter and recited the children's song silently in his mind. Sure enough, he only needed to connect the roads to get the word "king". Then the location of the Buddha statue could only be this black spot.

After applying black dots to the lower right corner of the word "王", they said in unison:

"It's Foguang Temple!"

The two of them kept running in the direction of Foguang Temple, but when they arrived, they found that there was no place to hide the Buddha statue. Moreover, there was a lot of traffic here, and no matter how bold the thieves group was, they would not dare to hide here.

Could it be that their reasoning was wrong? No, there is another place!

Edogawa Conan quickly ran down the stairs. When he saw the ruins of Yuryuji Temple, he said confidently:

"Hattori, it seems that the real place where the Buddha statue is hidden is here."

"Well, let's hurry up..."

Before he finished speaking, Hattori Heiji's cell phone suddenly rang. When he opened it, he found that it was a call from Kagoya. He answered the call directly without thinking:

"Hey, Heye, do you want to see me if you have anything to do?"

"I have this girl in my hands. I will go to Yulong Temple in Anma Mountain alone in an hour. If you dare to call the police, this girl will die."

"Heiji, don't come, you will be killed by them!"

The call was hung up immediately, and Hattori Heiji became anxious. Perhaps his mood fluctuated so much that he fell to the ground before he fully recovered.

This scene really confused Edogawa Conan, and he remembered the temporary antidote he got from Haibara.

There seems to be only one way, Hattori... leave the rest to me.

——

When I woke up again, I was already in the ward.

Fujiwara Yu didn't expect that one second he was visiting the injured Hattori Heiji in the hospital, and the next second he was lying in. He supported the bed with his hands and stood up. When he saw Haibara Ai sitting by the bed reading a fashion magazine, he came out.

The voice asked:

"Where are the others? Where are Kudo and Hattori?"

"They sent the children back to Sannou Temple." Haibara Ai put down the fashion magazine in her hand, looked angrily at Fujiwara Yuu who had regained his composure in front of him, frowned and asked: "Why did you get yourself into such a mess? It's okay.

My sister is not here, and I don’t want her to worry about your life."

When Fujiwara Yu heard this, he knew that Haibara Ai had not told Akemi about this, and he was secretly relieved. He recalled the scene when he was hit by the arrow, and explained honestly:

"...I just didn't expect that the murderer actually had an accomplice. I always thought that the murderer was not only good at archery but also swordsmanship. Now it seems that I was wrong. They are two people, and one of them was naturally caught in the sneak attack."

"So why did you go alone when you knew it was dangerous? This is Kyoto, not a barren mountain. Wouldn't you ask a few more policemen to go with you?" Haihara Ai crossed his arms on his chest, clearly showing his figure.

He is petite but has an aura of 2.8 meters tall. Especially when he stares at Yu Fujiwara, he has a hint of "murderous aura" that is cultivated in the organization.

Fujiwara Yu lowered his head with a guilty conscience. The feeling of being taught by a child was somewhat subtle, but Haibara Ai's criticism was indeed correct. The injury was entirely due to his own carelessness, and it was somewhat reckless to follow him alone.

But he was a little confused about what Saijo Taiga said to the masked man when he left.

——"Tch, that guy asked you not to kill him, right? It's really annoying."

Who is that guy?

From their words, it is not difficult to tell that this person's status should be higher than theirs.

However, the only remaining members of the thief group Genji Hotaru are Yoshitsune and Benkei, so there is no chance of a third person.

Seeing that Fujiwara Yuu didn't look introspective at all, Haibara sighed and said helplessly:

"I called Kudo just now. He said that he had deciphered the meaning of the coded message and was rushing to Foguang Temple to find the whereabouts of the stolen Buddha statue."

"Just the two of them? No, those two are very skilled, they just can't handle it."

Haihara Ai didn't stop her. She knew that even if she didn't let him go, he would definitely find a way to leave. She had no choice but to take out a temporary antidote, put it into Fujiwara Yu's hand, and said:

"I have just given Kudo a temporary antidote. If something unexpected happens, just feed this to him. Take it before he changes back to a child, and it will last for a while."

"I see."

Fujiwara Yu put on his suit jacket and stepped on his leather shoes and walked out. He tried his best not to use his right hand, otherwise it would affect the wound on his right shoulder and most likely cause the sutured wound to collapse.

I took a taxi to Foguang Temple, but I didn’t see them. After driving around for a while, I noticed the cashier across the street who was sweeping the floor in front of the convenience store. I hurriedly stepped forward and asked:

"Hello, have you seen two boys, one tall and one short? One of the boys is wearing a baseball cap, and the little boy is wearing a blue suit."

"I saw that they just stood there and watched for a long time, and then they left in a hurry after receiving a phone call." The cashier seemed to have remembered something, and he imitated the Kansai accent and said: "By the way, Gao A boy even shouted 'He Ye' several times into the phone, and he didn't know what was going on."

"Thanks."

After thanking him, Fujiwara Yu looked in the direction pointed by the cashier and found a stone tablet there with the words "Gyokuryu Temple Ruins" on it. Could it be that the place the code letter really pointed to was Gyokuryu Temple?

He took out his mobile phone to check the ruins of Yulong Temple and found it in Anma Mountain.

Thinking of what the cashier just said, it is not difficult to judge that Saijo Taiga kidnapped Toyama Kazuha. His purpose was to kill Hattori Heiji and get the crystal beads in his hand, and then sell the complete Buddha statue and fly away.

Damn it, I should have discovered earlier that the crystal beads are white hair from the Buddha statue!
