Eight years ago, Hattori Heiji, who was still in the third grade of elementary school, went to Sannoji Temple in Kyoto to play. There, Hattori Heiji met a cute girl who sang "Maruzhu Yi". The song was clear and moving. The girl...
"Wait a minute, although I have plenty of time now, I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Let's get to the point!"
Yan Kai interrupted Hattori Heiji's recollection and said, "It's really troublesome to listen to these detectives. They always like to tell stories and be the Riddler. Now this one is playing Memory Kill with me. He wants to waste time and die later, right?"
"oh……"
Hattori Heiji was a little dissatisfied when someone interrupted his recollection. This might be the last mystery show in his life. If he couldn't even enjoy it, was there any justice?
But seeing the Grand Master standing next to Yan Kai, Hattori Heiji still chose to cooperate obediently: "I picked up a crystal bead where the girl stood, and subconsciously thought that it was the girl who had thrown it, so I threw it away. I kept it and wanted to give it back to that girl when I meet her again.”
"I didn't know at that time that this crystal bead didn't actually belong to the girl, but the night before I met the girl, members of 'Genji Hotaru' stole the Buddha statue of Yakushi Tathagata from Sannoji Temple. Be careful of the missing white hair on the Buddha statue! Because of the lack of white hair, the Buddha statue of Yakushi Tathagata was not sold by 'Genji Hotaru', but was kept."
In Buddhist legends, the Tathagata Buddha has "Thirty-two Appearances", "Hands over Knees Appearance", "White Hair Appearance between Eyebrows", "Top Hair Bun Appearance", "Quancheng Red"...
In order to restore the majesty of the Buddha's treasures, later generations of Buddhist believers will deliberately show the "Thirty-two Appearances" on the Buddha statues when they create the Buddha statues. Among the "Thirty-two Appearances", the "white hair between the eyebrows" refers to the white color between the Buddha's eyebrows. The vellus hair is filled with light and is placed on the Buddha statue, which is to decorate the Buddha statue with objects at the center of the eyebrows. This is the so-called pekoe, and crystal beads are often used as jewelry for pekoe.
Hearing Hattori Heiji say this, both Yan Kai and Kitayama Xiongwu frowned. Seeing both of them frowning, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but stop talking. Kitayama Xiongwu quickly said: "Go on!"
Hattori Heiji quickly continued: "A few days ago, I told reporters about the crystal beads during an interview. The reporter took a photo of the crystal beads and published it in a magazine. It was this photo that made 'Genji Hotaru' famous. People know that the white hair that was lost eight years ago is in my hand."
"At this time, 'Genji Hotaru' actually had a problem. Three months ago, the leader of 'Genji Hotaru' passed away. Before his death, he hid the Buddha statue of Medicine Buddha and left a picture , whoever can solve the puzzle on the painting and find the hidden Buddha statue can become the next leader."
Yan Kai and Beishan Xiongwu couldn't help but look at each other.
Since when did a band of thieves rely on guessing to choose their boss? Shouldn't it be whoever is able to convince the crowd, whoever can make detailed plans, who should be the boss? If you really can't make a choice, just disband. "Genji Hotaru" has been active for twelve years. It can be regarded as the "oldest person" among the thieves gang. It has stolen countless Buddha statues and Buddhist works of art, and the dirty money obtained should be It is already an astronomical figure that is unimaginable to ordinary people. It is enough for every member in it to spend a lifetime. Disbanding after the death of the leader can be regarded as a decent ending. In the future, it may even become a myth in the thieves world, such as "Never" The missed 'Hotaru Genji'" and the like.
Although Yan Kai and Kitayama Xiongwu had different expressions, they did not get Kitayama Xiongwu's signal. Hattori Heiji did not dare to stop this time. He continued: "Then in the past three months, the members of 'Genji Hotaru' have been arrested one after another. Kill, just yesterday, even one of the last two remaining members died. Currently, only the member codenamed 'Benkei' is left alive in 'Genji Hotaru'. There is no doubt that he was the one who killed 'Genji Hotaru' The purpose of the other members of the group is to swallow up the Medicine Buddha statue. Now, all he has to do is find out the location of the Medicine Buddha statue and get the pekoe that was lost eight years ago. In this way, his plan will succeed! "
Ah this...
Indeed, after killing all the competitors, the remaining member will naturally become the leader. This campaign method is indeed much simpler and more effective than guessing riddles. It is hardcore enough!
It's just that all the other members are dead, and "Hotaru Genji" is left with only the bare commander, so it's the same as being disbanded, right?
Shouldn't the purpose of obtaining the Buddha statue be to become the leader of "Genji Hotaru"? After all, it is a gang of thieves that has been committing crimes for twelve consecutive years without being caught. The members of "Genji Hotaru" should all be talented people with extraordinary abilities. A complete Buddha statue of Medicine Buddha can indeed be sold for a sky-high price, but compared to A Buddha statue, those experienced thieves are the real treasure, right?
Good guy, are you killing the chicken that laid the golden egg for a golden egg? Is that "Benkei" so angry?
"A few days ago, he designed the monk of Sannou Temple to ask a famous detective in Tokyo to solve the riddle and find the Buddha statue. On the other hand, he sent a killer to attack me, hoping to get the pekoe in my hand. I just I was chasing that killer, and accidentally ended up here..."
Hattori Heiji's voice weakened.
It didn't matter that the killer himself was looking for death, but he and Conan were dragged into the water...
Even at this time, Hattori Heiji did not reflect on the fact that when he encountered danger, he not only did not want to call the police but wanted to be a hero. When he knew that the crystal beads were peko, he should have called the police as soon as possible and told the police to return the lost property. .
"Then, when that 'Benkei' saw no reply from his men, he kidnapped your girlfriend and wanted you to surrender?"
Beishan Xiongwu asked.
"No, it's not a girlfriend, how could it be a girlfriend? We are just ordinary childhood sweethearts!"
Hattori Heiji hurriedly said, although he tried his best to deny it, his face was so red that even his dark skin could not completely hide it, and he looked like a piece of red-hot coal.
So, when you said "I like you" just now, you said it to the person who kidnapped your childhood sweetheart?
Yan Kai and Kitayama Xiongwu both looked at Hattori Heiji with contempt.
Being arrogant will ruin your life!
Yan Kai shook his head.
I don’t even dare to say what’s on my mind. Are young people in Japan now so hopeless? No wonder the declining birth rate is so serious.
The majesty of Beishan is so angry that it cannot be disputed.
"Well, there's a lot to complain about. Anyway, let's go to Yulong Temple to help you rescue Yuan Shan and Ye."
Yan Kai shook his head and said.
She is the guide for the seniors and the others. If something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome to find another guide temporarily.
"What, Xiaokai, you want to go in person?"
Beishan Xiongwu looked at Yan Kai in surprise. Based on his understanding of Yan Kai, Yan Kai should not be that warm-hearted person.
"There are some things I want to confirm."
Yan Kai looked at the crystal beads carefully as the sun was about to set.
This crystal bead is very extraordinary, so the Buddha statue using it as a white hair should also be something extraordinary. He was a little curious about the Buddha statue.
"By the way, have you solved the mystery about that painting?"
Yan Kai asked.
"Untied!"
When Hattori Heiji heard Yan Kai ask him about the puzzle, he immediately became energetic: "Actually, the Hinata in that painting symbolizes the various streets of Kyoto, and the various patterns on the Hinata refer to Some landmarks in Kyoto..."
"Tell me the result directly!"
Yan Kai glared at Hattori Heiji and said.
I already said that I don’t have time to listen to his nonsense. Doesn’t this person understand human speech?
"Just at Yulong Temple..."
Hattori Heiji reluctantly answered Yan Kai.
The fun of reasoning was gone, and Hattori Heiji instantly felt dull.
Conan followed closely: "Look at the layout of Yulong Temple as a symbol of 'yu', and see if there is any building where the character 'yu' is dotted. The Buddha statue should be in the building that represents the point!"
"Yulong Temple..."
The people who captured Toyama Kazuha chose the location at Yuryuji Temple. It might be them... no, it was an important stronghold of "Genji Hotaru". As a result, the people of "Genji Hotaru" tried hard to find it but couldn't find it. The Buddha statue we arrived was in their stronghold, which is quite ironic...
Hattori Heiji looked at Conan in surprise.
He only deduced that the Buddha statue was in Yulong Temple, but he did not deduce where the Buddha statue was hidden.
Damn it, I lost to Kudo again!
Hattori Heiji said in annoyance, but soon felt relieved. After all, he was about to die. There was no point in worrying about this anymore. The most important thing now was to rescue Kazuha!
"Please, please, please rescue Kazuya!"
Hattori Heiji bowed to Yan Kai.
Yan Kai did not answer Hattori Heiji, but looked at Kitayama Xiongwu: "Grandpa Kitayama, I'm going."
"Okay, go ahead."
Beishan Xiongwu nodded.
…………………………
Gyokuryuji Temple is not well-known in Kyoto, which has many famous temples. At least not now, because it has been abandoned. Three months ago, the abbot of Gyokuryuji Temple passed away, and this once-famous temple also ushered in a new era. It is at the end of its road and will be demolished soon. It is unknown whether what buildings will be built on the site of Yulong Temple in the future, or whether it will exist as a wasteland.
In Yulong Temple, countless torches were lit, illuminating the square inside the temple as bright as day. A man wearing a Benkei mask escorted Toyama Kazuha, and looked at Yan Kai who was slowly walking into Yulong Temple, and he spoke.
"Who are you? Where is Hattori Heiji? That coward, did he call the police?"
The masked man lowered his voice.
Toyama and Haha, who looked panicked, were relieved when they saw that the person coming was not Hattori Heiji, and then shouted: "Run, there are many people here, you are no opponent, run, go call the police!"
For Toyama Kazuha, as long as Hattori Heiji is safe, it is fine. Although Toyama Kazuha often looks forward to the scene where a hero saves a beauty, in reality, she does not want Hattori Heiji to be in danger for her at all. of.
Yan Kai looked at the masked man with a smile on his face and said: "I'm sorry, Hattori Heiji committed a crime and is currently being imprisoned, so I can only save people on his behalf. Anyway, for you, the person who comes is not Hattori Heiji is not important, what is important is..."
As he spoke, Yan Kai took out the cloth bag containing the crystal beads and revealed the crystal beads inside: "...is this right?"
"You..." The masked man hesitated. Indeed, Hattori Heiji's arrival is not important at all. What is important is this white hair.
The men who were showing off at the foot of the mountain did not warn, which meant that the young man in front of him did not call the police. He did come alone, so he had nothing to fear.
"If you are dissatisfied because the person who came is not Hattori Heiji, then as an apology, in addition to this crystal bead, I can also give you a piece of information, which is the location of the Medicine Buddha statue, so that you can let go of Miss Toyama Is it done?"
Yan Kai said to the masked man.
“You know where the Buddha statue is!”
The masked man immediately became excited.
The Buddha statue and the pekoe were the two things he had been thinking about day and night since eight years ago. Unfortunately, the Buddha statue was hidden by the leader, and the pekoe was picked up by a black-skinned kid whose identity he did not know.
At that time, he searched all over Kyoto and couldn't find the black-skinned kid. Then he realized that the kid who picked up the white hair might be a tourist from out of town. However, it took countless time and effort to search all over Kyoto. How could he have the ability to search all over Japan? A kid whose name I don’t know? He can only try his luck by going to Okinawa occasionally. After all, if there is a place with the most black-skinned brats, it must be Okinawa.
Now that the white hair is in front of us, the kid whom he met last night said that he knows where the Buddha statue is. The things he dreamed of are about to be collected. The masked man can't wait to say: "Tell me where the Buddha statue is, and I won't care about Hattori." It’s about Heiji!”
"Okay, I'll tell you right now."
Yan Kai told the masked man the location of the Buddha statue, and the masked man suddenly felt extremely angry.
Chief, Chief, although you and I are not of the same mind, I have served you for so many years no matter what. Are you planning to take the Buddha statue underground and not want to give it to me?
Yulong Temple is about to be demolished, and the Buddha statue is hidden in Yulong Temple. In other words, if the Buddha statue cannot be found before Yulong Temple is demolished, and the workers who demolish Yulong Temple do not check carefully, the Buddha statue will be turned into a pile of debris along with Yulong Temple. Scraps?
The masked man gritted his teeth and cursed the dead leader ten thousand times. At the same time, he said behind him: "Go and find the Buddha statue for me as he said!"
Two people wearing Yaksha masks appeared behind the masked man. They bowed to the masked man and immediately headed towards the place Yan Kai said - Yulong Temple has been their lair in the past few months, and they are extremely familiar with this place. , and I do know that in Yulong Temple, there is a building that can be used as a point in the layout of the "yu" structure, which is a bell tower.
Not long after, two Yaksha masked men worked together to move a Buddha statue over. After seeing the Buddha statue, the masked man became a little carried away, and even almost relaxed his grip on Toyama and Ye.
Fortunately, the masked man did not relax completely. He shouted sternly at Yan Kai: "Throw the pekoe to me, or I will kill her!"
After saying that, he pulled out a piece of the sword from his waist and threatened Yan Kai.
Without saying a word, Yan Kai threw the bag containing the pekoe to the masked man. After receiving the pekoe, the masked man had no intention of caring about Yuan Shan and Ye. He immediately relaxed his grip on Yuan Shan and Ye and walked to the lift. In front of the two men holding the Buddha statue, he knelt down in front of the Buddha statue.
"Finally, I finally got you..."
There was a choke in his voice, eight years... no, twelve years, the purpose of joining "Genji Hotaru" was this Buddha statue!
The masked man was so excited that he used his original voice. Toyama Kazuha, who was already out of trouble, immediately realized where she had heard this voice before. She subconsciously said: "Are you Mr. Saijo?"
The excited masked man suddenly stopped trembling. He stood up silently and sighed: "I originally planned to let you live, but since you are seeking death, you can't blame me..."
The masked man turned around to face Yuan Shan, Ye and Yan Kai, and said coldly: "Kill them!"
The masked man gave the order, and many Yaksha masked men suddenly emerged from the shadows of the temple, each holding a sharp blade. The samurai swords reflected the dancing firelight, making this supposedly pure temple filled with murderous intent.
Yuan Shan and Ye immediately ran towards Yan Kai, stood with Yan Kai, and put on a karate defensive posture: "You hurry up, I will stop them!"
With Yuan Shan and Ye's skills, it was very possible that she could escape if she wanted to escape. However, Yan Kai was in danger because of himself. It was absolutely impossible for Yuan Shan and Ye to leave Yan Kai and escape alone, so at this time she He could only stay and fight with those Yaksha masked men to give Yan Kai a chance to escape.
"Ahem!"
Yan Kai cleared his throat, then stood up in front of Yuan Shan and Ye, and said to the Yaksha masked man who was about to chop himself and Yuan Shan and Ye to death: "Don't come here thinking that I'm not prepared. Let me tell you, I am too Those who have studied martial arts will have no problem beating a dozen big men. Even if you have weapons in your hands, I... I won't be afraid at all!"
There were three parts of his voice being brave, three parts of fear, another three parts of cheering him up, and the last part was a hint of guilt.
This kid is nothing to worry about!
The masked man and the Yaksha masked man said at the same time in their hearts.
