Sunday, May 4, Kyoto, Yamanoji Temple.

The monk Ryuen greeted him and told everyone that Mori was no longer here, and that he had gone to Sakuramasa's house.

So, Hattori and Conan took a motorcycle to Sakuramasa's house according to the address that the monk Ryuen said.

And Yamazaki, Ran, Mei Daiko, Kazuba, Sonoko, Dr. Asasa, Motota, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi, and Gray Hara went to the wing room with the monk Ryuen to put their luggage, and then went shopping together. ……

After the gathering, when he left the temple gate, Yamazaki found that a pilgrim had touched Kazuha's bag, but the man did not steal anything, so he didn't say anything. ……

Sakura is building outside the house.

The antique shop in front and the home in the back were burned down by a fire, and Hattori and Conan found Mori, Shiratori Police Department, and Otaki Police Department in the crowd of onlookers outside the cordon.

The Otaki Police Department explained the situation, and the fire department said that someone deliberately used gasoline and gas to set the fire, so the fire could not be quickly controlled, and further investigation is continuing. ……

In the bathroom of the mall, Kazuha found a paper ball in his bag, which said that he wanted to know the situation of Hattori Heiji's first love, so he came over alone and talked about the transaction price, with the time address attached to it, in the woods outside Kurama Station.

Can't help but be curious, and under the pretext that there is something temporary, Kazuha went to the woods outside Kurama Station alone.

After waiting for a while, Kazuha felt that someone was coming from behind, but before he could turn around, he felt a pain in the back of his neck, and then he lost consciousness. ……

In the morning, Sanno Temple.

There was no progress in the investigation of the fire, and there was no progress in the eyewitness investigation, so Hattori and Conan simply returned to think about the picture code and found that Tae Yamakura, Rei Chiga, Harutaro Mizuo, and Taiga Saijo were all here.

Qianhe Ling didn't wear thick makeup this time, with bright willow eyebrows and bright eyes, bright teeth and cherry lips, and there was a sense of amazement in the hattori.

After listening to it, they all wanted to do a ritual, but Yamakura Tae wanted to do it for her shop, and Harutaro Mizuo and Saijo Taiga were for Sakuramasa.

After they finished speaking, Yamakura Tae asked Rei Chiga to go back alone, and she, Harutaro Mizuo, and Saijo Taiga followed the monk Ryuen.

Seeing this, Hattori stepped forward with a little blushing and said, "Uh, that, Miss Chiga Ling, I have something I want to ask, let's talk about it while we go." ”

"Yes, Mr. Hattori, please. Chiga Ling smiled.

"Please, please. Hattori said quickly.

Looking at Hattori's somewhat clumsy appearance, Conan tried hard to purse his lips so that he didn't laugh, it couldn't be his first love, right?

Out of the temple gate, Hattori asked Chiga Ling all the way about the details of everyone's time during the banquet last night, but it was the same as the police investigation.

As they spoke, the three of them came to an intersection, and Hattori didn't know where to go for a while.

"Sanno Temple is on the hexagon," Chiga Ling said with a smile as she crossed her fingers, "Marutakeyi Niji Oshiki Imperial Pond, Misanhekaku, you should go that way." He pointed in a direction.

Hattori was stunned, this is the song.

Conan asked, "Now, Sister Qianhe Ling, what did you just say?"

"Oh, that's a handball song," Rei Chiga said with a smile, "It's a nursery rhyme made up of the names of the roads in Kyoto so that the children of Kyoto don't get lost." As he spoke, he sang the handball song again.

Hattori hesitated for a moment and plucked up the courage to ask, "Well, did you ever sing this song while shooting a ball in Sannoji Temple when you were a child?"

"Yes. Chiga Ling smiled.

Hattori laughed happily, yes, it was her.

At this time, the three of them walked near the highway, and Chikaru called a taxi and left.

"Great, found it. Hattori said happily.

"Hey," Conan laughed, "here in Kyoto, every girl knows how to handball songs, and there must be a lot of people who play ball at Sannoji Temple." ”

"I remember very clearly, at that time, it was not the 753rd Festival. Hattori smiled, "Normally, the girl who wears a kimono since she was a child is an artist." ”

"Uh," Conan couldn't answer, "well, you have a point. ”

"Of course. Hattori said happily.

"But what about Kazuha?" Conan raised his triangular eyes, "Do you want to step on ......?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Hattori exclaimed, "that's different. ”

"Oh?" Conan asked with a wicked grin, "What's the difference?"

"It's, it's ......"

Hattori's face flushed, but before he could say anything, he reacted, "Why should I tell you?" ”

At this time, Hattori's mobile phone rang, but seeing that it was a call from Kazuha's mobile phone, Hattori was so weak that he almost let the phone fall to the ground.

"Hey, that, Kazuha, what's the matter?" Hattori said with a weak scratching face.

"Heiji Hattori. "The voice of a middle-aged man on the other end of the phone was a voice-changing device.

Hattori's face changed, and suddenly he had a bad premonition, "Hey, who are you, and why is Kazuha's phone in your hand?"

The man said, "Don't scream, listen carefully to the following words." ”

Hattori shouted, "What the hell did you do with Kazuha?"

"You're so excited, calm down and listen to me. The man said.

Hattori took a deep breath, "Okay, you say." ”

The man said: "If you want to see your first love, and that little girl named Kazuha, in an hour, come alone to the woods outside Kurama Station, remember that it is a person, and by the way, take that crystal bead, otherwise the consequences, you should definitely not want to see it." ”

"Bastard, you shrunken ......"

Before Hattori finished speaking, he found that the other party had hung up the phone.

"What's going on?" asked Conan.

"I don't know. Hattori said, then called Yamazaki. ……

Hotel.

Yamazaki came out of the private room and answered the phone, "Hattori, we were about to call you ......"

Hattori interrupted, "What about Kazuha, where is she?"

"And Ye she left alone. Yamazaki said, "It's a ...... to say something."

Before he finished speaking, Yamazaki found that Hattori had hung up the phone, and frowned for a while, Hattori's voice sounded anxious, and calling to find Kazuha should call Kazuha's mobile phone, how could it call him, what was going on?

Beside him, Ran, who came back from the bathroom, passed by and vaguely heard something, "Yamazaki, is it Hattori's phone?

"I don't know. Yamazaki said, then called Kazuha's cell phone, and the result was turned off.

"No," Lan asked worriedly, "what's wrong?"

"Maybe it's out of power. Yamazaki said.

"That's right. Lan laughed. ……

On the other side, Hattori.

Conan listened to what happened to Hattori, "You mean someone kidnapped Kazuha?"

"And Miss Chiga. Hattori asked, "Did you write down the taxi license plate just now?"

"No, who doesn't have anything to remember that. Conan said.

"Damn fellow. Hattori shouted, "If you catch him, you have to look good." ”

"And you're going to meet him alone?" asked Conan.

"I know what you mean," Hattori said, "I can take you there, but you can't show your face, it's my incident." ”

"Understood. Conan laughed.

"Let's go, go back and get the car. Hattori aired, "I'd like to see who this guy is." ”……

On the way to Kurama Station.

Sitting on the back seat of Hattori's motorcycle, Conan suddenly said to Hattori, "By the way, this person may be the one who attacked us yesterday in Kurama Mountain." ”

"I know that. Hattori said.

Conan asked, "So, if yesterday was a chance encounter, then why did he chase after you and didn't hesitate to abduct Kazuha?"

"How do I know that?" cried Hattori, "if you have any ideas, just say it." ”

"He said the crystal bead that you brought with him by the way," said Conan, "I think that thing is actually what he really wants, because that crystal bead is the white hair between the eyebrows of the Buddha statue." ”

"Huh?" Hattori stopped the car.

Conan said, "The place where you met your first love was Sannoji Temple. ”

"W-How do you know this?" Hattori was taken aback.

"Just look at your face. Conan laughed, and continued, "If I'm not mistaken, the crystal bead you picked up should be the white hair between the eyebrows of the medicine master Rulai that those thieves accidentally stammered. ”

"Is it the Buddha statue lost by Sannoji Temple?" Hattori asked, "But after so many years, it's long overdue to make a move, right?"

"What if someone gets in the way?" asked Conan.

"You mean that picture code at Sannoji Temple, and the thieves sent the code to Sannoji because they didn't know the location of the Buddha statue?" Hattori asked, "It doesn't make sense." ”

"What if it's looking for you?" said Conan, "knowing that the uncle has a close relationship with you, if you bring the uncle here, you will naturally appear." ”

"Is that a problem?" said Hattori, "it doesn't make sense, he can just make up an excuse to get me over." ”

"Well," Conan said, "then, there's only one possibility, it's not the guy we're going to see now, it's Sakura Masazo who is going to set up this game." ”

He called Uncle Maori and asked him to help him turn himself in to the police. Hattori said, "That makes sense." ”

"Let's sort everything out again. Conan said, "The Genji Hotaru thieves didn't know why there was infighting, and five people died in a row. ”

"The murderer should be the guy we want to meet. Hattori said.

The police released a request for the members of the Genji Hotaru Thieves Group to turn themselves in, and Sakura Masazo couldn't sit still because he was worried, so he made a pattern code to Yamanoji, and used the identity of the donor to push Yamanoji to hand over the commission to Uncle Maori. Conan said.

"Makes sense. Hattori said, "Then Sakura Masazo called his companion, but he accidentally slipped his mouth and was killed by his companion." ”

"I don't think this matter is an external offense. Conan said, "It's more likely to be an internal offense." ”

"How?" asked Hattori.

"I don't think Sakura Masazo knows the identities and phone numbers of the rest of the Genji Hotaru Thieves. Conan said.

"How is that possible?" said Hattori, "Sakura Masazo, an antique dealer, should have mastered the channels for the sale of the stolen goods of the Genji Hotaru Thieves. ”

"No, no," Conan said, "I don't think that Sakura Masazo, an antique dealer, has mastered the channels for the Genji Hotaru thieves to sell the stolen goods, because they, the antique dealers, are the target of the police." ”

"It also makes sense," Hattori said, "and if an antique is stolen, the police will definitely look for an antique dealer." ”

"Also, whether Sakura Masazo is a member of the Genji Hotaru Thieves or an antique dealer, when he was on the phone with his companions in the Genji Hotaru Bandits, he already knew that the Genji Hotaru Thieves were constantly being killed, how could he say that he wanted to turn himself in, and where he was?" Conan asked rhetorically.

"Makes sense. Hattori said, "Since it wasn't Sakura Masazo who called to recruit his companions, it was an internal offense." ”

"That's right. Conan said, "And the murderer should be someone Sakura Masazo knows, that's why there was that fire." ”

"In order to destroy the connection between the two of them, so that the police will not turn their attention to Sakura Masazo after his death. Hattori said, "That is, the murderer is very familiar with Sakura Masazo." ”

"Moreover, Sakura Masazo didn't know in advance that the murderer was a member of the Genji Hotaru Thieves Group like him. Conan said, "The connection between the murderer and Sakura Masazo is not about a thief in the Genji Hotaru Thieves group hiding behind a mask, but an ordinary person who is not wearing a mask. ”

"That's right. Hattori said, "The current suspects, Tae Yamakura, Harutaro Mizuo, Saijo Taiga, and Monk Ryuen, are the only ones who know about Sakura Masazo's movements." ”

"Hey, and what about Miss Chigarei?" Conan asked amusedly.

Hattori smiled: "It's definitely not her, just like it's definitely not an uncle." ”

"Okay, okay. Conan smiled helplessly. ……
