Knowing the victim's information, Situ Xiu and his entourage inquired about Bizen Heishiro from the people near the octopus shop, but they found nothing, no witnesses, and only knew that Bizen Heishiro was usually very cold and strange, basically Do not deal with other people.

Without any results, Situ Xiu and his party immediately went to the next location, Kyoto. Outside the Jiro Bar in Dongshan District, they inquired about the victim, but soon someone stopped them.

"Who are you, Guigui Chongchong asked about that matter?" the man said.

Situ Xiu looked at the man in front of him, clean and tidy, yes, a very clean man, dressed like a successful man, and there was a squirrel on his shoulder, lively and cute.

"Wow!"

When You Xizi saw the little squirrel, she immediately screamed, and was struck by the cuteness of the little squirrel, and said, "It's so cute! Did you raise this?"

"You haven't answered my question yet." The man frowned, his tone very cold.

"That..." Belmore walked out and said with a smile, "We are the assistant of detective Mori Kogoro, and we are here to investigate serial murders in Kyoto?"

"Sleeping Mori Kogoro?" The man narrowed his eyes and asked.

Belmorde blinked at Situ Xiu and smiled slightly, not forgetting to name Kogoro Mori when he came out to investigate the case.

Great Belle!

Situ Xiu secretly gave him a thumbs up, no matter where he goes with the name of Detective Mori Kogoro, he will definitely succeed.

However, the man did not change his face, neither cold nor indifferent, he took out a police card from the collar of his clothes, and said: "I am the Ayanokoji Police Department of the Kyoto Prefecture Police Station.

You detectives had better not meddle in other people's business, what Moori Kogoro, this is Kyoto, and it's not the turn of people from Tokyo to intervene, so you better not be meddlesome. "

After the police department of Ayanokoji finished speaking, he glanced at the four of them, then turned and left.

"What the hell, really?" You Xizi said angrily.

"Strange police officer," Conan said.

"It seems that the name of Uncle Mao Li won't help you leave 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 eat something," Yukiko said.

The group of four found an oden restaurant, ordered some delicacies, and then discussed the next investigation.

Situ Xiu said: "If the gang of thieves were named according to the Yoshitsune and retainers described in the Yoshitsune, there would be a total of eight people. Five of them have died now, and the remaining 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, and the only one who can know where these people live is an insider," Conan said.

"In the first homicide case, the three victims died at the Nishikuni City Shrine at night, and the three of them could be invited there, only the companions of the thieves gang. The second murder case was in Osaka, which is some distance away from Tokyo. , two different places, so it can only be speculated that the thieves gang’s own people 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 likely to be a member of the thieves gang."

"The analysis is good." Situ Xiu gave a thumbs up, "But it's all nonsense, so I'll ask you if you know the clues and motives of the remaining three people."

"" Conan.

Belmord smiled slightly: "Now we are cats, we can only run behind the mice, we can't become mice and run ahead."

"The analogy is very appropriate, a new doctor," Yukiko said with a smile.

After the group of four had finished their meal, it was already 2 pm. After leaving the restaurant, they went to Jiro Bar and asked people nearby about the victim's information. One of the passers-by said that the victim often went to a temple, Sannoji Temple.

Situ Xiu and his team immediately went to Sanneng Temple, a small temple, where they met the monk Ryuuen. Before asking about the victim, the other party heard that they were sent by Mori Kogoro, and received him warmly. them.

"Uncle Mao Li's fame seems to be very useful," Situ Xiu said to himself.

"No, if you tell him that Uncle Maori sent an assistant, the other party will receive him warmly. In other words, he should have contacted Uncle Maori," Conan said while pinching his chin.

"No way, what will happen to the people in Kyoto looking for Mori Kogoro, who is still a monk?" Yukiko said.

"Is there something missing?" Belmode said.

"Throwing something?" Conan raised his brows and let out a haha, how come this kind of missing person notice and missing object notice are so familiar.

Sure enough, just as Belmode said, Long Yuan took them to a room, told about the lost Buddha statue in Shanneng Temple, and took out an envelope and put it on the tea table.

"Eight years ago, the statue of Medicine Buddha Tathagata 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 there is a destiny, maybe one day, we can still be with this Medicine Buddha Tathagata." The Buddha meets again," Long Yuan said.

The four of them had different expressions on their faces when they heard this. Belmore couldn't help but said, "You never thought that he was the one who guarded himself and prevented you from calling the police."

"I feel the same way." You Xizi agreed, "It's hard to justify not calling the police if something is stolen. If that Buddha statue is very valuable, would it have been sold?"

"This..." Long Yuan was a little confused, could the abbot be such a person?

"Eight years, it's not easy, the Buddha statues are likely to be sold out," Situ Xiu said.

Conan picked up the envelope on the table to check, and said, "Eight years have passed, why did you want to find Uncle Maori recently, is it because of this letter?"

"Well, 5 days ago, I found this letter in the mailbox in the temple. It seems to be about the Buddha statue," Long Yuan said.

Conan looked at the Sanneng Temple written on the surface of the envelope, and said, "It's very strange, why is there 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, took out the letter inside, and there were two pieces of paper, saying: "One of these says, as long as you solve the mystery of this painting, you will know where the Buddha statue is."

"Painting?" Conan wondered.

Yukiko put the two slips of paper on the table, and took the first slip aside, a strange picture was drawn on the bottom slip.

"Is this considered painting?" Yukiko's mouth twitched.

A long stairway was drawn on the paper, with five stair steps. On the top stair step were three pictures of cicadas, a tengu mask, and a goldfish; Between the first and third floors, there are four pictures of violets, tengus and Mount Fuji, and there is a mushroom next to it.

This is the sign painting, and beside it is a copy of a photo of the Buddha statue of Medicine Buddha Tathagata.

"what is this".

The four looked at the code and fell into deep thought.

"Everyone, I'll get you some hot tea, excuse me first," Long Yuan said as he got up and left 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 because of the Buddha statue. But I was afraid of forgetting, so I wrote down the password to remind the location, but I didn’t expect to be killed by my companion, and the password was also obtained by my companion.”

"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 Kogoro Mori, so he asked Kogoro Mori to investigate the Buddha statue."
