The man who died in Osaka was nicknamed Bizen Heishiro, which matches the name of Bizen Heishiro, one of Yoshitsune's retainers in Yoshitsune, and he was also a member of a gang of thieves.
Relying on Hattori Heiji's relationship, Situ Xiu found out this from Otaki Goro Police Department.
In addition, Bizen Heishiro also ran an Okonomiyaki shop and was also killed in this shop called Octopus. The police also learned his secret identity when searching his home.
After knowing the victim's information, Situ Xiu and his party asked the people near the Octopira shop about Bizen Heishiro. They found nothing. There were no witnesses. They only knew that Bizen Heishiro was usually very cold and strange. Basically, Don't interact with other people.
With no results, Situ Xiu and his party immediately went to the next location, Kyoto. Outside Jiro's Bar in Higashiyama District, they inquired about the victim, but someone soon stopped them.
"Who are you? Why are Gui Gui Chong Chong asking about that?" the man said.
Situ Xiu looked at the man in front of him. He was clean and tidy, yes, very clean. He was dressed like a successful man. Also, there was a squirrel on his shoulder, which was very lively and cute.
"Wow!"
When Yukiko saw the little squirrel, she immediately screamed. She was so cute by the little squirrel and said, "It's so cute! Did you raise this?"
"You haven't answered my question yet." The man frowned and his tone was cold.
"Um" Belmore came out and said with a smile: "We are the assistants of detective Kogoro Mori, coming to Kyoto to investigate the serial murder case?"
"Sleeping Mouri Kogoro?" The man narrowed his eyes.
Belmode blinked at Situ Xiu and smiled slightly, not forgetting that he had to use Mouri Kogoro's name when he came out to investigate the case.
Awesome, Bei Nu!
Situ Xiu secretly gave him a thumbs up. No matter where he goes, using the name of the famous detective Mouri Kogoro will definitely lead to success.
However, the man's face remained calm and indifferent. He took out a police card from the collar of his clothes and said, "I am the Ayanokouji Police Department of the Kyoto Prefectural Police Department.
You detectives had better not be nosy, what about Mouri Kogoro, this is Kyoto, it is not the turn of people from Tokyo to interfere, so you better not be nosy. "
After finishing speaking, Ayanokouji Police Department glanced at the four people and turned to leave.
"What the hell, it's true," Yukiko said unhappily.
"What a strange police officer," Conan said.
"It seems that Uncle Maori's reputation won't work well outside Tokyo." Situ Xiu scratched his head. This was the first time he met a policeman who didn't like detectives.
"Then what should we do?" Belmode asked.
"I'm a little hungry, let's go get something to eat," Yukiko said.
A group of four people found an oden restaurant, ordered some delicious food, and then discussed the next investigation of the case.
Situ Xiu said: "If the band of thieves were named after Yoshitsune and the retainers described in Yoshitsune, there would be a total of eight people. Five are dead now, and three are still alive..."
"I found a clue that this murder was committed by an insider, because the five people were scattered in different locations. The only person who can know where these people live is an insider," Conan said.
"In the first murder case, the three victims died at night at Nishikuni City Shrine. The only way to get the three people there was because they were companions of the thieves' gang. The second murder case was in Osaka, which is some distance away from Tokyo. , two different places, it can be speculated that only the thieves themselves know the location of their companions."
"In addition to the murder in Kyoto this time, although the victim's information is not yet known, it is very likely that he is a member of a gang of thieves."
"Good analysis." Situ Xiu gave a thumbs-up thumbs up, "But it's all nonsense. I just want to ask you if you know the clues and motives of the remaining three people."
"..." Conan.
Belmore smiled slightly: "Now we are like cats. We can only run behind the mice. We cannot become mice and run ahead."
"The metaphor is very appropriate, the new doctor" Yukiko said with a smile.
After the four of them finished eating, it was already 2 pm. After leaving the hotel, they went to Jiro Bar and asked people nearby for information about the victim. One of the passers-by said that the victim often went to a temple, Sannoji Temple.
Situ Xiu and his party immediately went to Sannou Temple, a small temple, where they met the monk Ryuuen. Before they asked about the victim, the other party heard that they were sent by Kogoro Mori, and they received him warmly. them.
"Uncle Maori's reputation seems to be very effective," Situ Xiu said to himself.
"No, you tell him that he is the assistant sent by Uncle Maori, and the other party will warmly receive you. In other words, he should have contacted Uncle Maori," Conan said, pinching his chin.
"No way, what will happen if people from Kyoto look for Mouri Kogoro, who is still a practicing monk?" Yukiko said.
"Did you lose something?" Belmode asked.
"Lost something?" Conan raised his eyebrows and chuckled, why are these missing person and missing object notices so familiar.
Sure enough, just as Belmode said, Long Yuan took them to a room, told them about the lost Buddha statue in Sannou Temple, and took out an envelope and put it on the coffee table.
"Eight years ago, the statue of Medicine Buddha enshrined in the temple was stolen. At that time, I wanted to call the police immediately, but was stopped by the host. He said, if we are destined, maybe one day we can still visit this Medicine Buddha statue. Buddha meets again," Long Yuan said.
The four people listened with different expressions on their faces. Bellmore couldn't help but said: "You never thought that he was guarding theft and not letting you call the police."
"I feel that way too," Yukiko agreed, "It doesn't make sense no matter how you think about it, if you don't call the police if something is stolen. If the Buddha statue is valuable, would it have been sold?"
"This..." Long Yuan was a little confused. Could the abbot be that kind of person?
"Eight years is not easy, the Buddha statues will probably change hands and go out," Situ Xiu said.
Conan picked up the envelope on the table, looked at it, and said, "Eight years have passed. Why do you want to find Uncle Maori recently? Is it because of this letter?"
"Well, five days ago, I found this letter in the mailbox of the temple. It seemed to be about the Buddha statue," Long Yuan said.
Conan looked at the envelope with the name Sannoji written on it, and said, "It's strange. There's no stamp on it, and it doesn't say who the sender is."
"We don't know either." Long Yuan shook his head.
"Look what's inside".
Yukiko took the envelope from Conan and took out the letter inside. There were two notes and said: "The one above says that as long as the mystery of this painting is solved, the location of the Buddha statue will be known."
"Painting?" Conan wondered.
Yukiko placed the two slips of paper on the table and took the first slip aside. There was a strange picture drawn on the lower slip of paper.
"Is this considered painting?" Yukiko's mouth twitched.
There is a long stair sill drawn on the paper, with five steps. The top stair step has three pictures of cicadas, tengu masks, and goldfish. On the lower stair sill, there are two pictures of golden roosters and golden loaches. Between the first and third levels are four pictures of violets, tengu and Mount Fuji, with a mushroom next to them.
This is the code painting, and next to it is a photocopy of a Buddha statue of Medicine Buddha.
"What's this".
The four of them looked at the code and fell into deep thought.
"Everyone, I'm going to get you some hot tea, so excuse me for now," Long Yuan said, getting up and leaving the room.
After a while.
Belmode said: "Is it possible that it was sent by that person? He often comes here because of the Buddha statue. In other words, the group of people had a dispute over the Buddha statue, and someone ate it and hid it. But I was afraid of forgetting, so I wrote down a code to remind me of the location, but I didn’t expect to be killed by my companions, and the code was also obtained by my companions.”
"And that companion didn't know the meaning of the code, so he sent it here to ask people in the temple to investigate. It happened that someone in the temple worshiped Mouri Kogoro, so he asked Moori Kogoro to investigate the matter of the Buddha statue."
