"Eh? Going to the tea house in Pontocho to listen to music?" Mouri Kogoro asked.
Monk Long Yuan nodded: "Mr. Sakura Shozo just called the temple. Although the host declined, he still asked me to come over and ask if you and your friends want to go."
"I have no problem," Mouri Kogoro turned his head, "Saraichi, what about you?"
The case will never be solved, and the puzzle will not be solved at this moment...so Ye Gengyi's answer was simple: "Go."
...
Ye Gengyi, Maori Kogoro, and Monk Ryumen.
When the three of them arrived in a car.
Sakura Shozo, Mizuo Harutaro and Saijo Taiga have already booked private rooms on the third floor.
A geisha in a simple kimono knelt beside the screen, playing the shamisen and humming traditional tunes.
Central location of the room.
A girl wearing a gorgeous dark red kimono was dancing to the song.
Another song ends.
Mouri Kogoro stared at the maiko with squinting eyes, shouted and applauded: "Okay! Miss Chika Suzu is the best in Japan!"
"Thank you for the compliment." The maiko bowed in thanks.
Monk Long Yuan was very understanding of people and the world. When he saw this, he quickly asked the maiko to help a certain servant pour wine.
"Okay." Chika Suzu stood up, walked to the table with graceful steps, knelt down next to Mouri Kogoro, smiled and picked up the wine bottle, "Sir, please use it."
"Okay!" Mouri Kogoro quickly picked up the wine glass, scratched his head and smiled: "My lord, Kogoro, it feels like you are in heaven!"
"Then you'd better be careful," Mao Lilan walked into the room and said with a stern face, suppressing his anger: "Don't fall halfway through the flight!"
"Pfft!" Mouri Kogoro almost choked on his wine and looked over there in shock, "Xiao... Xiaolan, and you guys, why are you here."
"The abbot told us, hehe, long time no see everyone..."
Suzuki Sonoko said hello, "Brother Sarada, it turns out you also come to a place like this to drink."
"Well," Ye Geng nodded, but still explained, "I drink coffee."
After all, my head hurts from using the full view today. If I drink anymore, I will just make myself uncomfortable.
Well......
Suzuki Sonoko was choked. She always felt that the key to the problem was, shouldn't it be to come to the 'tea house'?
"Come on, come on, everyone, please sit down!" Monk Long Yuan's enlightenment was obviously smoother than his head.
After instructing the geisha to get the cushions, he placed the responsibility of inviting Mouri Kogoro and Ye Gengichi to the tea room on himself.
Naturally, Mao Lilan couldn't blame him anymore.
Not to mention Suzuki Sonoko, she was just making noise.
Conan chose a seat slightly far away from Ye Gengyi and sat down.
The murderer was not caught, but on his way back, he specifically asked Hattori Heiji to take him to a children's clothing store, where he changed into almost the same clothes as usual.
Never mention the kimono, never mention the kimono... A certain detective was worried that his death would be caused by the exposure of the video, and he kept thinking in his heart.
Seats are selected.
Hattori Heiji, who came in last, had no choice but to sit next to the maiko.
He looked at the other person casually for a few times and suddenly said: "Huh? You are not the one I met in Miyagawa Town in the morning..."
"My name is Chika Suzu. Thank you very much for helping us stop that thief." Maiko smiled softly and bowed, "I didn't expect to meet again. We are really destined."
Toyama and Ye were alert and asked quickly: "Do you know each other, Heiji?"
"Well, I met you once." After Hattori Heiji finished speaking, he turned to Mouri Kogoro and said: "I said, uncle, you are really leisurely. We just almost caught the serial murderer."
What? !
Everyone was shocked and looked over.
"Tell me, what happened!" Mouri Kogoro asked, "What do you mean almost caught? Didn't you take Conan to the game arcade to play?"
gaming room?
Are the two of us having a cross-server conversation?
Hattori Heiji looked at Ye Gengyi blankly, "Genichi brother... didn't you tell them?"
"It was said that you were going to go racing." Ye Gengyi took a sip of coffee, "However, I am not sure about the specific direction, because when you walked out of the temple, you were already far away..."
It turns out that the information gap is here... By the way, aren't you worried about us getting killed while chasing each other?
However, this question obviously cannot be asked out loud.
Who makes me always so passionate and impulsive...
Hattori Heiji sighed and briefly described the cause and effect: "When we were at Kurama Temple before, someone was planning to attack us with a bow and arrow. Thanks to Saradagi's timely response, but because the other party was wearing a helmet, I didn't know. Is he a boy or a girl..."
"This is interesting, Mr. Mori," Sakura Masazo asked: "In your opinion, as a famous detective, who could be the person who attacked this little brother?"
"Of course it goes without saying that they are those guys from Hotaru Genji!" Without waiting for a tool man to answer, Hattori Heiji said firmly: "Maybe they are the murderers who killed those five people in succession before."
Mouri Kogoro was very surprised: "Osaka boy, didn't you see the other person's face?"
"I heard that each of the members of 'Genji Hotaru' has a copy of Yoshitsune in their hands, right?" the hostess of the tea house couldn't help but said.
"Hey! You can't say that," Sakura Masazo said, "I also have a copy of "Yoshisuke". It's a really good book!"
As he said that, he turned to look at Saijo Taihe again, "Right, he sells used books."
"Uh, okay..." Saijo Taiga nodded and forced a smile, "But I don't like that book very much. Although the title is "Yoshisuke", it is actually a descriptive book. Qing’s "Benkei Chronicles".
"Hmph...I really like it, especially Anzai's Benkei, it's the best."
Mizuo Harutaro took up the topic: "And speaking of Yoshitsune, I also have a copy."
All three? Could it be that they... An idea suddenly popped up in the minds of Conan and Hattori Heiji, and then they were suppressed for the time being.
It shouldn't be possible.
"What does Anzhai mean?" Suzuki Sonoko asked.
"That is one of the repertoires of Noh drama," Mizuo Harutaro said: "In order to escape the pursuit of Yoritomo's men, Yoshitsune and his retainers disguised themselves as monks and planned to use this method to pass through the Anzai Pass."
"However, the process was not that smooth. The guards at the checkpoint were very strict," Shozo Sakura took over the topic and said, "So, just when Yoshitsune's disguise was about to be seen through, Benkei suddenly took out the diamond rod. Hit Yoshitsune hard.”
"Ah? Why is this?" Suzuki Sonoko was confused.
"Of course I want to deceive the guards at the pass," Sakura Masazo explained: "Because ordinary people would never think that a retainer would dare to attack the master."
"After that, Yoshitsune and his party naturally passed the test smoothly," Mizuo Harutaro said. "After that, Benkei immediately cried and apologized to Yoshitsune. Instead of blaming Yoshitsune, Yoshitsune praised Anzai for his quick response. This shows that they mainly He had a deep affection for his servants, so this story was also recorded in Yoshitsune."
Ye Geng felt a little sleepy upon hearing this and couldn't help but yawn.
He expressed doubts not only about the story itself, but also about the written records in it.
First of all, according to legend, Yoshitsune has a handsome appearance. To describe it in layman's terms, he is the type who can be identified at a glance when standing in a crowd.
And this kind of information that couldn't be simpler, even if the painter's level at the time was not up to standard, the guards at the pass couldn't just ignore it, right?
Is it possible that every man who passed the test that day was well-groomed?
There were too many handsome men and beautiful women at the end of the day, so the guard at the checkpoint was tired of aesthetics and missed the handsome Yoshitsune?
Therefore, this story was either adapted, or Yoshitsune was too hypocritical and forced people to describe him as a handsome young man.
Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Benkei took the vajra rod and hit Yoshitsune in the face.
