Chapter 0713: The Legend of Phantom Kui Temple
Sunday, August 1, morning, Metropolitan Police Department.
Officer Sato met Officer Yumi and thanked her for the package, and thanks to the dress, she was able to cope with her mother.
Officer Takagi saw Officer Sato and Officer Yumi from a distance and wanted to go up to say hello, but was stopped by a group of people who asked him for a small gift.
"This, this ......" Officer Takagi sweated.
"That's not it. β
"It's so unbelievable that this kind of thing can be forgotten. β
"Let's go, let's talk to him. β
"Teach him how to respect his predecessors. β
"There's also solidarity with colleagues. β
"No, no!" Officer Takagi had only time to say a word before he covered his mouth and walked away.
Before leaving, Officer Takagi looked at Officer Sato and Officer Yumi, but only saw their backs, they were chatting happily, and they didn't notice anything unusual behind them. β¦β¦
Later, Kitagawa, who killed Mami Nishimura, was sentenced to six years for turning himself in for homicide. β¦β¦
Sunday, August 1, morning.
Sonoko, Mori, Ran, Conan, Yamazaki and Mineko went to Tokyo Station to take the Izu Hakone Railway Limited Express Izu Rainbow, along the Tokaido Main Line to Mishima Station in Mishima City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and then along the Izu Hakone Railway Jundou Line to the bottom station Shuzenji Station, and after getting off the train, I went to Shuzenji Hongnosao with a ticket.
Then, according to the address on the winning letter, the six Maori people took a bus to the place called the Phantom Hotel on the seaside, thinking it was a hotel or a small hotel, but it turned out to be a big hotel.
Worried, Lan showed the winning letter to the front desk, and not only was he received, but he was also given a suite, which made Maori laugh happily.
Curious, the garden inquired, it turned out that the hotel was newly opened, this is an activity done when it opened, it is said to be to find some wise people to come, so that it can be promoted.
"I see. Maori smirked, "I think I'm the smartest, wisest." β
"Who's not ashamed to say anything here. A familiar teenager's voice came.
At the same time, a familiar girl's voice came, "Stupid, what are you talking about so loudly, I'm afraid that arrogant guy won't hear it?"
While talking, the two appeared in the hall, and the six Maori people saw the person clearly, it turned out to be Hattori and Kazuha, but they didn't notice this side at all, and they were still talking about their own business.
Hattori retorted, "Stupid, you're not loud yet. β
He Ye retorted: "Stupid, I didn't say that people are ashamed, I just said that people are arrogant." β
Hattori said angrily: "It's not the same, and you just said that you were not ashamed." β
He Ye shouted: "When I say unashamed, I mean that you are not ashamed, not that he is ashamed, and what you say is not ashamed is not at all." β
Then, the two found Maori and his party, looking at Conan, Yamazaki, Mei Daiko, Ran, Yuanzi, and Maori's green muscles who were laughing, they were stunned, and sweat broke out on their heads, and they laughed together: "The weather is so good today." β
"Don't learn from me. The two immediately said to each other together.
"Enough is enough! Maori yelled, which made the five Yamazaki no longer hold back and laughed.
"How did you get here?" asked Maori.
"Huh?" Hattori scratched his face, "This ......"
"Needless to say, of course, I won the lottery. Yuan laughed.
"So you too?" asked Ye happily.
"yes. Lan laughed.
"Damn, you're all dizzy. Maori said with annoyance.
"Sorry, uncle, we didn't mean to. Hattori said embarrassedly.
"yes. Kazuha said, "Heiji definitely doesn't mean it. β
"Hey, hey, there's half of it in there. Hattori said.
"Alright, you two. Maori said with a headache.
Yamazaki diverted the subject, "Did you just come here?"
Mei Daiko asked, "By the way, how many days can you play?"
"You can play for a long time, but we came yesterday and want to live in a different place. He Ye said.
Mei Daizi smiled: "Then let's live on the boat with my brother and Yuanzi." β
"Okay. He Ye smiled, "By the way, we were by the sea yesterday, so you can accompany us to the mountain, which is the place with a five-storied pagoda." β
"That's fine. Lan smiled, "We went to Sensoji Temple yesterday." β
"Ah, then you must have watched the Spark Festival. He Ye smiled, "Tell me about it when you eat later." β
After that, Mori, Ran, and Conan checked into the hotel, and Sonoko, Yamazaki, and Midako put their luggage in their rooms, and then went to the restaurant with Hattori and Kazuha to find a private room for lunch, and then went to the mountain.
"Phantom Kui Temple. Looking at the name of the temple, Maori said, "Could it be that the hotel below is opened by a monk? β
"No, sir. A middle-aged man walked over from inside the temple.
"Sure enough, it's a fake monk, and they all have long hair. Mei Daizi said, "By the way, it may be a lay disciple." β
"Well, I'm in charge of environmental issues at the temple, and my name is Okabe Shigeyoshi. Okabe Shigekichi smiled, "You're here to visit the temple, so let me show you around." β
Looking at the deserted mountain gate, Hattori asked, "By the way, why is there no one, isn't it a day off?"
"It must be too remote. The garden said.
"That's not the case," said Okabe Shigeyoshi, "come with me first, please." β
Okabe Shigeyoshi first took everyone to pay homage, and then took everyone to visit the temple, and on the way, he introduced that the Phantom Temple was built more than 400 years ago, and originally belonged to the Puhua sect, but the Puhua sect was banned by the new policy after the fall of the shogunate, so he invested in the Nichiren sect, which was the Nichiren Fuji sect at that time, and was one of the six high disciples of the Nichiren master.
"Ah, it still depends on the power?" said Maori angrily.
"Puhuazong, those half-monks and half-lay monks who don't shave their hair in period dramas are Puhuazong's, right?" He Ye said, "Wearing a deep hat that can cover the entire head, wearing a small-sleeved robe, a wooden knife around his waist, holding a musical instrument shakuhachi, and wearing grass shoes." β
"I think it's called the Void Monk. "You can legally carry weapons and go to all parts of the country freely." β
"They're all shogunate's spies and killers," Midaiko laughs, "and that's what they say in those TV shows." β
"By the way, they all have short swords hidden in shakuhachi, and they also have swords in their clothes. Lan said.
"Legend has it that this is true, but it should only be a small number of people," said Okabe Shigeyoshi, "but at that time, there were very lawless people who dressed up as nihilistic monks to do evil, so they simply banned it altogether." β
"It's really hard to check like this. Hattori said. "I don't know how I got into this trouble in the first place. β
This was an order personally issued by Tokugawa Ieyasu in the first month of 1614, known as the Keicho no Shoki. Okabe Shigeyoshi smiled, "Legend has it that Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted those defeated samurai to be able to look around and see how they governed the country, and of course, it is also said that it was to be able to spy on information from all over the world." β
"In 1614, Osaka Winter Battle," Mori laughed, "it really smells like that." β
Okabe Shigeyoshi continued to introduce that later the Nichiren sect was unified, but the factional problem was still serious, and after the beginning of the new era, it was divided again on the basis of unification, and the temple also took the opportunity to set up its own door again, and became the current temple, which belongs to the Puhua sect and enshrines the holy Kannon. Now the temple is a county-level designated cultural relic, and the wooden five-storied pagoda is a national-level designated cultural relic.
"If that's the case, there will be a lot of people, right?" Hattori asked, "Why can't anyone see it now?"
"Well, that's, that's what the abbot meant. Shigeyoshi Okabe said, adding, "This temple has had many interesting legends for 400 years. β
"Oh, what is it?" asked Maidako.
"For example, in the bushes near the five-storied pagoda, there is an old well that has been in use since the Edo period, and one day it suddenly dried up. "It is said that a lovelorn woman cried in front of the well for three days and three nights, and all those tears disappeared along with the well water. β
"Well, this must be the cause of the earthquake. He Ye said.
"And what about the five-storied pagoda?" Lan asked.
"It's better not to say this. Okabe Shigeyoshi said with a smile.
"What, is it some weird legend?" said Yuanzi, looking at Lan and smiling.
"Not a legend, but a real thing. "At the beginning of the Edo period, the abbot took a fancy to a young and promising young man who thought he could succeed him as the next abbot, but after the young man became a monk, he fell in love with the village chief's daughter and eloped with the village chief's daughter, and then ......."
"And then?" asked the garden.
"One day, someone found a man hanging from a corner on the fifth floor of this five-storied pagoda," said Okabe Shigekichi in an eerie tone, "and when I went up to take a look, I found that I had been pecked by birds. β
"Ahh
Later, the village chief's daughter said that it was the monk who had eloped with her, and that he had been captured by a holy eagle. Okabe Shigeyoshi said.
"Holy Eagle?" asked Midaiko with some excitement, "Is there a youkai?"
"I think it's the village chief's daughter lying in order to evade responsibility. Yamazaki smiled, "The reason why the Holy Eagle didn't capture her is because the Holy Eagle forgave her, and since the Holy Eagle has forgiven her, then her father and those villagers should also forgive her, so that she can continue to live in the village and be respected by the villagers because she has seen the Holy Eagle." β
"I see. Mei Daiko said deflated.
"Then why is he up there?" asked the garden.
"Of course it's a killing. Hattori said, "The murderer was either the abbot or the village chief. β
However, in the middle of the Edo period, an abbot suddenly disappeared for a few days and was found hanging from the corner of a five-storied pagoda. Okabe Shigeyoshi said.
"Isn't it?" Lan asked, a little scared.
"He was not right-minded, secretly sold the valuables in the temple, and indulged in wine. Okabe Shigekichi said in an eerie tone, "So people began to say that if anyone broke the temple rules, they would be cursed by the five-storied pagoda. β
"Curse, curse. "Lan, Heye, Yuanzi, and Maori were all shocked.
"Great. Mei Daiko high-fived and laughed, and then asked Okabe Shigekichi, "Then how can it be considered a violation of the temple rules?
"Huh?" Okabe Shigekichi was startled.
"Who dares to speak up!" an old monk appeared.
"Abbot of Danhai. Okabe Shigekichi exclaimed.
"Okabe, you've brought these tourists in again. Abbot Danhai reprimanded.
Shigeyoshi Okabe said, "Sightseeing is the ...... of the temple."
"Shut up!" said Abbot Danhai angrily, "Because of sightseeing, the entire temple was robbed, have you forgotten!"
"This ......," Shigeyoshi Okabe bowed his head.
"Hey, Abbot Danhai, how can I count as violating the temple rules?" asked Mei Daizi.
"You just said you were going to demolish the five-storied pagoda?" asked Abbot Danhai.
"That's right, that's me. Mei Daiko nodded, and continued, "Don't you say there's any curse? β
"That is the damnation of God," said Abbot Tanhai, "it is the damnation of those who disrespect the gods and Buddhas." Then he said, "Little girl, since you are still young, I will help you intercede with the gods and Buddhas." β
"Pleading?" asked Midaiko in surprise.
"Yes, but you don't have to thank me. Abbot Danhai said, "It is the original intention of the Buddha to eliminate disasters and solve problems for the world. β
"No, no, it's not like that, if you can intercede for me, then you will definitely be able to contact your gods and Buddhas. Mei Daizi said, "Then tell them, can you meet with me, the cost of gasoline, oh, the amount of sesame oil in yen, I will try to pay." β
"Huh?" Abbot Danhai was stunned.
"Poof!" the Maori Six laughed, and Yamazaki shook his head.
"Or you tell me your contact information, and I'll talk to them myself. Mei Daizi said, "Don't worry, I won't rob you of your business, and I'll give you another intermediary fee, what do you think? β
"No, it's unreasonable. Abbot Danhai said angrily, and continued, "Okabe, take them out." With that, he waved his sleeves and left.
He Ye smiled: "Mei Daizi, you are so powerful, you made him angry and left." β
"I didn't want to be angry with him. Mei Daiko shrugged.
"I must be afraid that you will steal business. Yuan Zi smiled, "Look around, there are so many building materials, you must have made a lot of money, and you want to overhaul it, and there is the big hotel under the mountain." β
"No, no, that Phantom Hotel at Yamashita belongs to Oda Kanko Company. "And these building materials, these are also from Oda Tourism Company." β
"How did that end up here?" asked Maori, "...... that?"
"Yes," said Okabe Shigekichi with difficulty, "because the property of this temple belongs to Oda Kanko Company, and they are going to build a theme park here." β
"That's right. Midaiko thought about it.
"It's a shame. "In a place like this, which we don't often come into contact with in the city, we have a feeling that we can purify our minds." β
"That's because there are fewer people here. Maori said angrily.
"Nalan, it's good for you to stay here for the night. The garden sneered.
"Garden," Lan said through gritted teeth, "Garden, if you accompany me, I'll stay." β
"Promise her, Garden. He Ye smiled.
Yuan Zi immediately said: "Then you and Ye you also stay." β
"Huh?" and Ye immediately stopped talking.
"Really, what's there to be afraid of. Maori said angrily.
"Uncle, you can stay with us. The garden said.
"Yes, uncle. He Ye said.
"Me?" said Maori, "my hotel is waiting for me." β
Midaiko asked Yamazaki, "Brother, what do you think of this place?"
"The odds are great. Yamazaki laughed.
Sonoko asked Mei Daizi, "Hey, you don't want to buy this place, do you?"
"You're right. Mei Daiko smiled.
"Miss, do you want to buy here?" asked Shigekichi Okabe in surprise.
"Don't get your hopes up," Hattori laughed, "and you'd better pray to your gods and Buddhas that this deal doesn't work out." Because if it is in the hands of that tourist association, this temple may still be preserved, but it will be dismantled in her hands, unless your abbot can ask your gods and Buddhas to come and make a trip. β
"Ah, is thisβis this true?" asked Okabe Shigekichi worriedly.
"Definitely, yes. Lan smiled bitterly.
Maori looked at the time, "Alright, it's almost time to go back." β
After that, Okabe Shigekichi sent everyone out of the mountain gate, and when they parted, he asked Mori, "Excuse me, are you a Mori detective?"
"Oh, you know me, too. Maori smiled happily.
"I've seen it in the newspapers, and I've heard that you helped solve that serial murder incident, so thank you so much. Okabe Shigeyoshi said with a smile.
"Where, where, didn't help much. Maori smiled a little embarrassedly. β¦β¦
On the way down the mountain.
Hattori took Conan to the end and laughed quietly: "Speaking of which, I saw the serial killings in the newspaper, and I specially inquired about the Otaki Police Department." β
"What do you want to say?" asked Conan, angrily.
"It's strange to me that you didn't find the murderer as soon as you came up. Hattori laughed.
"This," Conan said with a blushing face, "I checked his arm, and I found out later." β
"No need to explain. Hattori laughed, "Later, I figured it out, it's not your fault, really." β
"Huh?" Conan was surprised.
"Because you're a little guy with no leg hair now, you can't even think of that. After Hattori finished speaking, he laughed and ran away.
"But, damn!" said Conan, gritting his teeth with triangular eyes. β¦β¦
