After pouring various medicinal materials into the steaming bathtub and stirring them with his hands, Yan Kai nodded to Beishan Xiongwu. After receiving Yan Kai's signal, Beishan Xiongwu turned his black eyes wrapped only in a bath towel. Put it in the bathtub, let Heitong sit in the bathtub, and then pull off the bath towel.
Yan Kai took a deep breath, and then said to Beishan Xiongwu: "Grandpa Beishan, I'm going to start. During this period, please don't let anyone disturb me."
"Don't worry, this is my private residence, no one dares to mess around here."
Beishan Xiongwu said firmly, whoever dares to mess around, I will twist his head off!
Yan Kai stretched out his palm and pressed it on the top of Heitong's head. The internal power of "Bu Tian Sutra" poured in from the Baihui point on the top of Heitong's head and slowly merged into Heitong's body. He combed Heitong's body bit by bit, and at the same time, Help her absorb the power of the medicinal bath and nourish her whole body.
At the beginning, Yan Kai wanted Heitong to take medicine to nourish his body first, and then use his energy to heal his injuries. However, Heitong's body was already extremely weak. The medicine was three-part poison. With Heitong's current physical condition, it is very likely that one dose would After the decoction went down, the medicine did not absorb much, and the person died first, so Yan Kai could only use a milder medicinal bath to nourish Heitong's body, which was like broken glass, and supplemented it with the "Bu Tian Jing" to help him absorb the medicine.
The magic of the "Tian-Mending Sutra" is that it can repair any minor damage to the body. Basically, as long as one breath is left, the "Tian-Mending Sutra" can save the practitioner. However, the "Tian-Mending Sutra" mainly acts on oneself, using the "Tian-Mending Sutra" "Jing" to save others requires practicing the "Mending Heaven Sutra" to an extremely advanced level, and its effect will be greatly reduced. Therefore, Yan Kai is not completely sure whether Heitong can be saved. On the one hand, it depends on Heitong's strength. The will to survive, on the other hand, also depends on the fate of Heitong.
In order not to disturb Yan Kai, Beishan Xiongwu walked out of the quiet room and came to the courtyard and took a deep breath.
He hasn't felt this kind of powerlessness for a long time. It's ridiculous that Beishan Xiongwu has been so strong all his life, but he still has time to beg for a junior.
Heitong's condition was not so bad at the beginning. In the first half of the year, she could even take care of her own daily life, so Beishan Xiongwu was very confident in curing her, and he also had time to participate with his old enemy Xue Dingshan During the "School Festival" of the private Shinjian School, I would play chess with Xue Dingshan via video from time to time.
However, in recent months, Heitong's physical condition has deteriorated sharply. The consequences of drug abuse and excessive body modification finally broke out. Heitong entered a state of exhaustion in a very short period of time, even if Beishan Xiongwu did not hesitate to expend his energy to help him. To extend her life, she just kept adding oil to her oil lamp, which had only a faint wick left. It could keep the light on for a while, but it couldn't keep the oil lamp burning for a long time.
It can be said that if there is a second way to save Heitong, with Beishan's majestic temper, it is absolutely impossible to find a junior Yan Kai.
While he was sighing to himself, a piercing alarm sounded, which made Beishan Xiongwu frown.
"Kenji, what's going on?"
Beishan Xiongwu asked.
A steward with a mustache immediately trotted over, bowed to Kitayama Xiongwu and said: "Sir, people from the Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo joint investigation teams are patrolling. Recently, there have been consecutive murders in Osaka, Kyoto, and Tokyo. They have found out the murderer. It is very likely that he is in Kyoto, so we have been stepping up patrols these days, hoping to find the prisoner."
As the butler next to Beishan Xiongwu, this butler with a mustache is also the eyes and ears of Beishan Xiongwu. He receives all kinds of news for Beishan Xiongwu. Basically, there is nothing that happens in Kyoto that he doesn't know about. Beishan Xiongwu can answer Beishan Xiongwu immediately when needed, like now.
"I don't care what they do, just tell them to get away and don't make any noise here!"
The majestic and arrogant road of Beishan.
"Yes, sir, I will inform the Governor of Kyoto Prefecture right away."
The butler bowed.
In Kansai, the will of the Kitayama family is absolute and no one can disobey it. Even the governor of Kyoto Prefecture and the chief executive of Kyoto Prefecture must keep their tail between their legs when facing the Kitayama family, otherwise he will be killed tomorrow. Get ready to get out.
"Wait!" Beishan Xiongwu stopped the housekeeper, "I don't want to hear any noise in the past few days."
Yan Kai once said that he needed absolute silence when healing Black Tong's injuries.
After hearing this, the housekeeper responded: "Yes, sir. In the next few days, you won't even hear the cry of cicadas."
"Well, let's go down."
Beishan Xiongwu nodded and said that he believed in his butler's ability to do things.
After the housekeeper left, Beishan Xiongwu murmured: "They can't even catch a murderer. The police in Japan have become more and more incompetent recently!"
…………………………
Mao Lilan came to Sanno Temple with Conan and Hattori Heiji, the "black and white pair", and then learned the content of the commission from the monk Ryuen Yuan of Sanno Temple.
It turns out that there is a group of Buddha statues enshrined in Sanno-ji Temple, including the Bodhisattva statue illuminated by sunlight, the Bodhisattva statue illuminated by moonlight, and the most important main Buddha statue, the Medicine Buddha Glazed Light Tathagata Buddha statue. This group of Buddha statues is the treasure of Sanno-ji Temple. It will be displayed to the world only every twelve years, and the next time it will be open for viewing is the day after tomorrow. But in fact, the Medicine Master Glazed Light Tathagata Buddha statue, which is the main Buddha statue, was stolen eight years ago.
After the Buddha statue was stolen, Monk Long Yuan immediately wanted to call the police, but was stopped by the abbot of Shanneng Temple. The abbot said that as long as there was a fate, the Buddha statue would naturally come back. Monk Long Yuan had no way to disobey the abbot's order and could only As if it was an agreement, five days ago, just when Monk Ryūen was remembering the opening date for the upcoming Medicine Buddha statue like an ant on a hot pot, Sannoji Temple received a letter without stamps and no A letter signed by the sender, containing a painting and a text.
"As long as we can solve the mystery on the painting, we will know where the Buddha statue is."
The monks at Sannou Temple thought hard for several days, but couldn't figure out the disappearance, so monk Long Yuan asked Mao Lilan, the famous "pretty girl detective" in Kanto, to help them solve the mystery.
"Wait, why are you looking for Mao Lilan? If you want to solve the mystery, shouldn't you be looking for me?"
After listening to monk Ryuen of Sannoji Temple explain the cause and effect, "Osaka Black Tan Head" Hattori Heiji said dissatisfied.
Instead of looking for the famous Kansai detective Hattori Heiji, who is so close at hand, I went to find someone from Kanto to solve the mystery. Isn't this a slap in the face!
Monk Ryumen smiled bitterly and said: "Hattori-san, have you forgotten? I called you a few days ago and hoped that you would come to Sanno Temple to help us solve the puzzle. It was you who said you didn't have time, so we turned instead. Looking for help from Miss Mori in Tokyo..."
Hattori Heiji immediately stopped.
Well, that seems to be the case, but during that time, there were a series of murder cases in Osaka. He was busy investigating the case of "Hotaru Genji" and had no time to go to Kyoto, so he declined Sannoji's invitation.
Among the members of "Genji Hotaru" who were killed, there was an octopus ball shop owner. Hattori Heiji often went to that shop when he was in junior high school and received a lot of care from him. Now that he is dead, even if he is a member of the thief gang, Hattori Heiji I also want to find the murderer for him.
Now it seems that the theft of the Buddha statue is probably related to "Genji Hotaru". Now that there are no clues about "Genji Hotaru", we can start with the stolen Buddha statue from Sanno Temple.
Sure enough, it was right to keep up at that time!
"But since Hattori-san is still here, it must be Yakushi Tathagata's will. With you and Miss Mori, the two famous detectives of 'one west and one east' joining forces, I think it will be a matter of course to solve the mystery and recover the Buddha statue."
Monk Ryuumao is worthy of being the person in charge of external affairs in Sanno Temple. If he highlights a eloquent person and pulls out all the Yakushi Tathagata, then Hattori Heiji will not be able to say anything else and will even try his best to help Sanno Temple recover the Buddha statue.
"Indeed, don't worry, Master Ryūen. Kudo and I... ahem, Miss Mori and I will work together and we will definitely be able to help you get the Buddha statue back!"
As expected, Hattori Heiji fell into the trap. Monk Ryūen didn't even mention the reward, so he took over the entire task of finding the Buddha statue.
Well, although his family is not short of money at all, being a detective is just a hobby.
At this time, three people who didn’t look like they were from the temple came over. The eldest among them, the middle-aged man with a big belly, showed an ecstatic expression on Hattori Heiji’s clothes, and stretched out his hand to Hattori Heiji from a distance: “Oh, my , isn’t this the pride of our Kansai region, Detective Hattori Heiji of ‘Western Hattori’!”
"Who are you?"
Hattori Heiji was held by the middle-aged man's hand. Although he was a little uncomfortable with his enthusiasm, in order to maintain the most basic courtesy, he still did not let him go.
"Ah, this is the benefactor of our temple, Mr. Sakura Shozo, an antique art dealer."
Monk Ryuumao introduced, and then introduced the other two people along the way: "This is the Noh theater actor, Mr. Mizuo Harutaro, and this is the manager of the ancient bookstore, Mr. Saijo Taiga. These three are all kendo fellows hosted by this temple. We often come to this temple together as guests."
"I'm a fellow swordsman..."
Hattori Heiji said thoughtfully.
"What the hell, it's just a three-legged cat kung fu that can't be put on the stage. It's not the real way of swordsmanship. Compared to being able to represent Kaigata Academy in the battle against Hattori-san, the Kuisei Banner, we are really just playing around."
Sakura Masazo is very humble and authentic.
When Sakura Masazo said this, the smiling ancient bookstore manager Saijo Taiga's face suddenly darkened, but he quickly recovered.
Hattori Heiji was surprised: "Mr. Sakura, have you seen my game?"
"Of course, we kendo enthusiasts have no chance of real kendo, so we can only console ourselves by watching the competition. Hattori-san's performance in the 'Quixing Banner' competition is really impressive!"
Ying Zhengzo said with a smile.
Kendo is the most popular national sport in Japan, and the number of kendo gyms is also the largest among all the gyms. It can be said that there are kendo enthusiasts everywhere in Japan, but to say that so many kendo enthusiasts have the opportunity to come into contact with real kendo , not even 1% of those who join those swordsmanship schools, this Sakura Shozo and the other two kendo fellows are ordinary people who have no chance to join the swordsmanship school, and Hattori Heiji can participate in the "Quixing" as the official candidate of the Kendo Club of Kaigata Academy "Flag" competition, we have entered the true way of swordsmanship. Although our skills are still shallow and have not reached the realm of swordsmen, and there is no decisive gap between us and ordinary people, we are already envious of others. Of course, we can learn the true way of swordsmanship so easily. , this is inseparable from his father, the head of the Osaka Prefectural Police Headquarters, and others cannot envy him even if he is envious.
"Actually, I think with Hattori-san's strength, even if he joins Hookuo High School, he can definitely compete as a regular!"
Sakura Shozo continued to compliment.
"Hokuoh High School..." Hattori Heiji laughed dryly and said, "Stop complimenting me, Mr. Sakura. If you want to be a regular candidate in the kendo competition at Hokuoh High School, you must at least be a swordsman. I But it’s far inferior to…”
Although it was quite comfortable to be complimented by Sakura Shozo, who was much older than him, Hattori Heiji had not yet lost his mind and knew how much he weighed - he was a student who skipped club practice and even skipped classes for three or three days. How could it be possible to compare with the core disciples of the major sects of the Kendo Club of Beiwang High School? People would laugh to death if he told me about it.
"Hattori-san, are you free now? Why don't you let us entertain you, and let us do our part as landlords!"
Sakura Shozo invited Hattori Heiji.
"Well... I still have to help Sannouji investigate the matter, maybe next time!"
Hattori Heiji declined.
"Not now, how about tonight? I'll treat you tonight, let's have a drink!"
Sakura Masazo's enthusiasm has not diminished. Even though Hattori Heiji has shown obvious rejection, Sakura Masazo still perseveres.
"I'm still a high school student! How can I drink!"
Hattori Heiji refused even more.
"It doesn't matter, let's go to the tea house. Let's go to the tea house to drink tea. It's no problem! Okay, we have agreed. Tonight, we will meet at Sannoji Temple and we will go to the tea house together! Ryūen-san, Saijo-san and others Mizuo-san, you all have to come too!"
Unable to tolerate Hattori Heiji's refusal, Sakura Shozo made an agreement.
"this……"
Hattori Heiji couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sakura Shozo came close to Hattori Heiji again and whispered to him: "You must have been entrusted by Sanno Temple to investigate the stolen Buddha statue, right? Don't be surprised, the host and I are old friends. Okay, what don’t I know about him? I am an antique dealer and I also have a lot of research on Buddha statues. If you come tonight, I can tell you about the Buddha statues. I will only tell you, you are We detectives from Kansai cannot lose to those from Kanto!"
Hearing Sakura Shozo's words, Hattori Heiji became competitive and immediately stopped refusing. He nodded and said, "Okay, I'll see you tonight. I'll go investigate first."
"Okay, Hattori-san, we'll see you tonight!"
Sakura Masazo said enthusiastically.
After Hattori Heiji left Sannoji Temple with Mouriran and Conan to look for clues, Saijo Taiga stood behind Sakura Masazo and whispered: "Why do you want to provoke this detective?"
Sakura Shozo still had a smile on his face, but his voice became extremely gloomy: "Idiot, he is the son of the head of the Osaka Prefecture Police Headquarters, and he is also a nosy detective. He must know about the investigation of the 'Genji Hotaru' case. Don’t you want to know how far the police investigation has progressed?”
"you're right."
Saijo Taiga acknowledged Sakura Shozo, but Sakura Shozo, who had his back to Saijo Taiga, did not see it. Saijo Taiga stared at him with eyes full of ferocity, as if he was about to devour him in the next moment...
