Night falls.
In the hotel, Situ Xiu was talking to Yukiko and Bellmore. At this time, Conan came back with Hattori Heiji. When they met, Hattori Heiji hurriedly introduced himself.
"Auntie, I am..." Hattori Heiji opened his mouth, and suddenly remembered the last bet, and said feebly: "Kurotan Hattori Heiji."
"..." Yukiko, Belmode.
Situ Xiu looked away. This had nothing to do with him. Well, he didn't force it.
Conan next to him laughed dryly, "He is usually like this, he likes to tease himself."
"Yes" Hattori Heiji looked at Situ Xiu.
"Hattori, why are you here?" Situ Xiu pretended not to understand.
"This is what happened..." Hattori Heiji said that the owner of a takoyaki shop in Osaka was killed, so he came to Kyoto to investigate the case.
Western restaurant, luminous glass of red wine, fine wine and beautiful lady, a group of people had dinner.
Yukiko shook the red wine glass and asked, "Did you find anything this afternoon? Did you find any important clues?"
"I don't know if it counts as a clue. The abbot and monks in the temple have practiced swordsmanship. It is said that there are like-minded people who often go to the temple," Conan said.
"Yes, they may come to the temple tomorrow, and we plan to go and have a look," Hattori Heiji said.
Hearing this, Situ Xiu said: "You think there are murderers among those who learn swordsmanship."
"Not sure yet," Hattori Heiji said.
"What about you? Where did you go this afternoon? You didn't really go shopping, did you?" Conan said while eating the food.
"Otherwise" Yukiko said angrily.
Conan chuckled, and Situ Xiu pretended not to hear. He took Yukiko around the streets and alleys of Kyoto in the afternoon. His physical strength was not a problem, but Yukiko was in dire straits.
........
the next day.
A group of five people went to Sannoji Temple, where they met Moori Kogoro and his party who had just gotten off the taxi, including Xiaolan, Sonoko, and Koizumi Anko.
Seeing Yuanzi, Conan's face became very ugly. He had been avoiding Yuanzi all this time because of the bet, and now it was over.
"Sister Hongzi..." Situ Xiu ran forward and said hello to them.
"Xiao Xiu, you are here too, what a coincidence."
"That kid is here too, as well as the boy from Osaka, that's Kudo's mother, and the doctor Shinde."
"Oh my god, why are you all here?"
A group of people met and greeted each other in surprise.
Conan frowned, hesitated, and looked at Yuanzi, "Sister Yuanzi, you are so ugly today."
quiet!
Everyone looked at Conan.
"Really?" Yuanzi's brows twitched, and she gritted her teeth and smiled, "You are so cute today."
"Bang!" Yuanzi suddenly punched Conan on the head and snorted, "The new clothes I just bought yesterday are ugly."
"This child..." Yukiko covered her head, and the others, Koizumi Anko, Belmode, Xiaoran, and Hattori Heiji all twitched at the corners of their mouths.
Conan spun around in circles, covering his head with painful hands. He had expected the result, but he didn't expect Sonoko to be so cruel.
"This kid is just looking for a fight, huh," Mouri Kogoro said as he walked into Sanno Temple.
Xiaolan walked up to Conan and touched his head, "Why are you talking nonsense? Isn't this making Yuanzi angry?"
"..." Conan.
Hattori Heiji saw Situ Xiu suppressing a smile and walked over, "Master Xiu, let's make a bet. Is it fun?"
"It's fun, do you want to play?" Situ Xiu said with a smile, "How about I bet you to call Sister He Ye ugly next time."
"..........."Hattori Heiji.
After briefly reminiscing about old times, a group of people walked into the temple.
As soon as I entered the temple, I saw several people standing in the square. Among them, the monk Ryuumao saw Mori Kogoro arriving and walked over immediately.
"Mr. Maori, thank you so much for coming all the way here. I am Long Yuan who contacted you before, and this is Yuan Hai, the abbot of this temple..."
The old monk who followed him put his hands together and bowed.
"As for these three here, they are the benefactors of this temple." Ryū Yuan continued to introduce the other people who came with him, and then said: "This Mr. Sakura Shozo is an ancient art businessman. He runs an antique shop on Teramachi Road. The man next to him It’s Mr. Harutaro Mizuo, the young master of Noh drama Mizuo, and the last one is Mr. Taiga Saijo who runs a used bookstore.”
The ancient art businessman Yingzheng who was introduced has a wide body and a fat body. He wears glasses and the fat on his face reveals the smoothness of the businessman. In short, he has the temperament of a profiteer.
The young master of Mizuaki is a young man with short to medium hair, nodding towards Mouri Kogoro, while the owner of a second-hand bookstore named Saijo Taiga looks like a nerd, with a pair of round glasses on his long and thin face, and he looks the most Peaceful.
"Hello, please give me your advice." Saijo Taiga greeted.
"Haha," the old monk said with a smile, "Rather than being the donor, we are actually fellow swordsmen."
"You are all practicing kendo," Mouri Kogoro said in surprise, "No wonder the abbot's body is so strong."
"By the way, I heard that your temple seems to have a Buddha statue that is consecrated only once every 12 years."
"Yes." The old monk nodded, "That is Medicine Master Tathagata, the main Buddha of our temple."
"Then, Mr. Mao Li," Long Yuan took the initiative to lead the way, "I will take you to see the situation."
The group of people followed Long Yuan towards the temple.
Conan and Hattori Heiji walked at the back, and then Conan looked back at the three people, turned around and continued walking forward, his voice low.
"A fellow swordsman and antique dealer is highly suspicious."
"Well, that's right. If someone in the band of thieves pretends to be an antique dealer, it should be easy to resell stolen antiques, portraits, Buddha statues, treasures, etc."
"I'll ask Master Long Yuan about his location later, and the two of us will go take a look."
"good."
After entering, Ryuumao asked Mouri Kogoro about the results of the investigation. Mouri Kogoro was a little confused. Yukiko immediately came out and told what happened yesterday. She borrowed Mouri Kogoro's identity because of the investigation of the serial murder case.
Mouri Kogoro didn't mind either. Ryūen told them what happened yesterday again and led them to the back room.
"Coke, you go and follow Saijo Taihe."
Walking at the back, Situ Xiu said softly.
"Yes, Master" Guisi responded and flew out.
In the room, a group of people sat in front of the coffee table and looked at the code. Mouri Kogoro was confused.
"What is this painting?"
...........
On the other side, in Tokyo, since being dumped by Yukiko last time, members of the FBI have searched many places but have not found Belmode.
"She hasn't come back yet?"
"Yes, I haven't come back since I got into someone else's car a few days ago. I heard from the school that I asked for leave."
"Let's find out who's car we're riding in."
"We checked the cars of two children, Situ Xiu and Conan, where they live, but they haven't returned home for a few days. According to the information we found, they are in Kyoto."
"What does she want to do?"
"I don't know. It's best to send Judy to Kyoto to find out the information."
