"Brother Feichi," Haiyuan Ai walked up to Chi Feichi and asked speechlessly, "Are you talking about Haiku?"
The format is also wrong.
"No," Yuan Hai came back to his senses and looked at Haihara Ai with a smile, "I just wanted to ask if your brother wants to put on new straw sandals when the sun goes down."
In the back corridor, Long Yuan led the Death Team to the door, "The host is receiving distinguished guests..."
Mao Lilan turned around and looked, surprised, "Huh?"
Mouri Kogoro and Suzuki Sonoko, who had come to Kyoto to play with him, looked over and looked at a certain tea-haired lolita with some uncertainty.
That luxurious kimono...did they recognize the wrong person?
It seemed that he was right, it was Haiyuan Ai.
The person in black kimono with his back to them couldn't be Chi Feichi, right?
Conan's half-moon eyes were silent.
They all came to Kyoto, how could they still meet these two people?
In the courtyard, Hui Yuan Ai was stunned for a moment before he realized what it meant.
A long time ago, there was a superstitious saying in many places in Japan: when the sun goes down, if you put on new straw sandals, you will turn into a fox.
What Yuan Hai presided over meant that her family's brother Chi was a fox who turned into a spirit.
"Master Yuan Hai, this is what Shintoism says." Chi Feichi reminded Yuan Hai not to act recklessly.
Yuan Hai smiled nonchalantly and said, "Only when you know everything can you be reasonable!"
"That's not true." Haiyuan Ai pretended to be a serious little girl, looked up at Yuan Hai seriously, and secretly teased Chi Fei Chi, "Brother Fei Chi is not a fox, he is a cherry blossom demon!"
"Oh? Hahaha..." Yuan Hai smiled happily.
Haiyuan Ai gave Chi Feichi a provocative look. Just as he was about to return to his cold face, he suddenly found Chi Feichi squatting down in front of him, a little confused.
Chi Feichi reached out and turned Hui Yuan Ai's head towards the courtyard.
Come on, please play one more time.
Haibara Ai saw Conan, Mao Lilan, Maori Kogoro, and Suzuki Sonoko standing there stunned, and they also fell into a sluggish state.
Why do acquaintances appear suddenly?
Mao Lilan came back to her senses, walked up quickly and knelt down, hugging the little Lolita in kimono, "Xiao Ai was so cute just now~!"
I want to hug, rub, and lift up, but I don’t know how to exchange Conan for Brother Feichi... Well, forget it, that would be too cruel to Conan, but it’s nice to have a cute and beautiful little sister, dressed up beautifully As bright as a doll.
Conan stepped forward and looked at Haihara Ai with extremely complicated eyes.
Someone always complains that he is pretending to be a kid, but secretly he is also pretending very hard!
Haibara Ai:"……"
She was possessed by the Sakura Demon just now. I don't know if Edogawa believes it...
"Brother Feichi, it's really you!" Lingmu Yuanzi greeted Chi Feichi who turned around in surprise, and then looked at Haibara Ai who was being hugged by Mao Lilan, "I just saw the look of this kid. , I almost didn’t dare to recognize it!”
Mao Lilan picked up Haiyuan Ai, turned around and asked Suzuki Sonoko with a smile, "Very cute, right?"
"No, she usually looks mature. I thought..." Suzuki Sonoko looked at Haibara Ai who was picked up and looked hopeless. She smiled and teased, "But Xiao Ai was really cute just now. Yeah, isn’t it nice to look like this normally?”
Haibara Ai:"……"
She knew that Suzuki Sonoko would not let go of this opportunity to tease...
"That is to say, things are much better like this today," Mouri Kogoro walked closer, "Why are you here too?"
"I brought Xiao Ai to Kyoto to play," Chi Feichi said calmly, "Teacher, what about you?"
Mouri Kogoro felt that he was being invaded by the air-conditioning. His mind became much clearer. His back straightened slightly. He put his right hand into a fist in front of his lips and coughed dryly. "Ahem, it was Master Ryuugen from this temple who called Detective Mouri. The office said that they wanted to entrust me to help investigate something. As for Xiaolan, Conan and Sonoko, they followed me to Kyoto for a walk."
"Host, this is the famous detective Mr. Mouri Kogoro," Monk Ryumen introduced, "Mr. Mouri, let me introduce to you, this is the host Enkai."
Yuan Hai clasped his hands together and said, "Mr. Maori."
"Ah, hello, host." Mouri Kogoro smiled.
"I heard that Mr. Mori has arrived?"
The three people who had been competing in kendo all came out of the backyard with enthusiastic attitudes.
"Mr. Mori, these three are the benefactors of the temple," Monk Ryūen introduced the three men to Kogoro Mori. "This is Mr. Sakura Shozo who runs an antique shop on Teramachi Street."
Sakura Masazo, who is short and stocky and wears round glasses, smiled and said, "You are Mr. Mori, I have long admired your name!"
Mouri Kogoro scratched his head and laughed, "Oh, am I so famous?"
Ryuumao looked at the elegant and handsome young man wearing a kimono next to him, "The man next to him is Mr. Mizuo Harutaro, the young successor of the Noh drama Mizuo."
Mizuo Harutaro had a polite and reserved smile on his face, "Hello, Mr. Mori."
Ryūmao looked at the tall, thin man wearing glasses again, "This is Mr. Saijo Taiga who runs an ancient bookstore."
"Hello, Mr. Mori." Saijo Taiga said with a sincere and cheerful smile.
Chi Feichi understood at a glance that these three people were all from a wealthy family. They came to Shannou Temple in the early morning. They probably heard that the temple invited Mouri Kogoro to come and get acquainted with them.
There is absolutely no harm in getting acquainted with a great detective who is famous in Kanto. Whether it is to expand his network or to entrust him with entrustments when he encounters trouble in the future, it can be regarded as a way.
"Rather than being donors, it's better to say that we are all fellow swordsmen," Yuan Hai said with a smile, "But I am a little surprised that Mr. Maori and Mr. Chi actually know each other."
"I am understanding and learning reasoning knowledge from Teacher Maori." Chi Feichi explained.
Mouri Kogoro smiled, "I didn't expect to meet Feichi here. By the way, I heard that your temple has a Buddha statue that is only exhibited once every 12 years. The day after tomorrow is the day of the exhibition, right?"
"We want to watch it too," Mao Lilan looked expectantly at the host Yuan Hai, "that's why we came all the way here!"
Yuan Hai was silent for a moment. In front of Chi Feichi, the 'donor', if he confessed that the Medicine Buddha statue had been stolen, would it affect the image of Shanneng Temple?
However, Chi Feichi is the apprentice of Kogoro Mori, so he can't hide this kind of thing, so he might as well be honest.
Thinking about it, Yuan Hai smiled and said, "I think Medicine Master Tathagata will also be happy."
This is a promise.
When Ryū Yuan took Mouri Kogoro and his group to the attic, Chi Feichi and Haibara Ai also followed.
After entering the door, Long Yuancai told him that the Medicine Buddha statue had been stolen.
"That was eight years ago." Long Yuan unlocked the cabinet, opened the door, and looked at the only two remaining Buddha statues. "On the right is the Sunlight Bodhisattva, and on the left is the Moonlight Bodhisattva. Originally, the Medicine Buddha was in the middle. It looked like it had been stolen, so I wanted to call the police right away, but the host stopped me. He said, if we are destined, maybe one day we can meet again with this Medicine Buddha statue."
"He is really open-minded!" Mouri Kogoro said speechlessly.
Long Yuan re-locked the cabinet door, took a group of people to sit aside, made tea for everyone, and then took out an envelope and handed it to Mouri Kogoro, and continued, "Eight years have passed like this. Five days ago, I I found this letter in the mailbox at the temple..."
Mouri Kogoro took the envelope and observed it, "There was no stamp on it, and I didn't write who the sender was. It was just stuffed directly into the mailbox."
There were two pieces of paper in the envelope. On one piece of paper it was written, 'As long as you solve the mystery of this painting, you will know where the Buddha statue is.' The other piece of paper was a painting, with a tower-like figure composed of simple lines. The top layer is painted with red cicadas, green tengu, and red goldfish. On the lower right corner of the layer below is a dot. After that, there are two empty layers with yellow roosters and yellow loaches, and below that are violets. , green tengu, purple Mount Fuji, and a side-by-side purple oak chestnut painted outside the tower line.
"Hmm..." Mouri Kogoro focused on the painting that looked like a child's graffiti, a drop of sweat fell on his forehead, "What is this painting?"
Chi Feichi gathered with others and looked at the copies on the table.
"The yellow loach is really disgusting!" Suzuki Sonoko complained.
"What is this dot?" Mao Lilan pointed to the dot on the second layer of the copy in confusion.
"It can't be ink marks, right?" Suzuki Sonoko guessed, turning to ask Chi Feichi, "Brother Feichi, can you understand the meaning of this painting?"
Chi Feichi was silent and didn't say a word.
Mao Lilan was unsure, "Dad, can you find the Buddha statue before the day after tomorrow?"
"You don't have to worry!" Mouri Kogoro sweated and pretended to be relaxed, "This kind of puzzle is just a trivial matter. With your father's help, you can solve it easily!"
Conan laughed dryly, uncle, what he said was too full.
"Leave the matter of finding Buddha statues to the experts," Suzuki Sonoko suggested to Mao Lilan, "I think we should go visit Kyoto, how about that?"
"That's good, that's good," Mouri Kogoro immediately agreed, "You guys will only get in the way here!"
Mao Lilan smiled at Suzuki Sonoko and said, "To tell you the truth, I had a phone call with Kazuye before coming here. She said she could take us two to visit Kyoto tomorrow. However, she has something to do with her persuasion department, so I'm afraid she won't be able to come."
"For guys who already have girlfriends, it doesn't matter if they don't come." Suzuki Sonoko said.
Conan was a little regretful. He thought he would meet Hattori's friends this time, so that he, Chi Feichi, and Hattori could get together and compete to solve the code.
"Conan," Mao Lilan turned to Conan and asked, "Do you want to go together?"
"I won't go tomorrow," Conan said with a smile, "I want to go fishing on the river with Brother Chi..."
After saying that, he turned to Chi Feichi and asked, "Brother Chi will take me there, right?"
Hint, crazy hint: Where to go shopping, friends, let’s figure out the code together!
Chi Feichi nodded, okay, he will take the famous detective to play.
"Then Xiao Ai, please come with us," Mao Lilan hugged a certain little lolita in kimono again and said with a smile, "Leave Conan to Brother Fei Chi!"
Suzuki Sonoko nodded repeatedly and took a doll-like little girl to show off on the street. Thinking about it, she thought it was great, "Yes, yes, girls should be with girls!"
