The Yamanashi Prefectural Archives holds most of the official government documents and historical records of Yamanashi Prefecture, most of which are public information and are open to the general public. Some archival materials related to citizens' privacy, as well as other materials that are considered unsuitable for public disclosure, require the identity certificate of the relevant personnel to provide before they can be borrowed and consulted.

Lin Shuichi's status as a police officer gives him access to too many things that Kanako can't reach. Since Lin Shuichi assumed that the motive for the murder of Futu Temple was to embezzle money, and the murder weapon at the scene was a samurai rib cha handed down from the Warring States period. Therefore, the direction of the investigation of this case inevitably began to be entangled with the legendary treasures of Futu Temple. It has to be said that many of the materials in the archives are not available even on the Metropolitan Police Department's internal information network, because the information data of the Metropolitan Police Department is mainly focused on criminal activities. And some news about the treasures of the Futu Temple must be here to get a satisfactory result.

Lin Xiuyi typed two keywords into the search box on the computer screen, Futu Temple, treasure. Relevant search results soon appear in the content area below the search box. These results were screened from materials kept at the Yamanashi Prefectural Archives. The content retrieved is not too much, only about six or seven pages. In order to save time, Lin Xiu and Kanako initially divided and cooperated, reading these documents related to Futu Temple and treasures respectively.

Lin Xiu browsed through the retrieved documents one by one, hoping to find something useful from them. But what is useful, Lin Xiuyi can't actually say. Because in this situation, Lin Xiuyi actually didn't know what he was looking for.

However, as he read deeper, Lin Xiuyi gradually discovered a strange place.

……

Located in the mountainous area of southeastern Yamanashi Prefecture, the village has been a barren place since ancient times, and due to its geological structure, it is a disaster-prone village. In the past 100 years, there have been four serious natural disasters in Futu Village, and after these disasters, the legendary treasures of Futu Temple have all appeared.

The first thing that caught Hayashi's attention occurred in the 11th year of Taisho, during the Great Kanto Earthquake that occurred in 1923. The impact of this earthquake on RB was enormous. It even affected the future political direction of the RB to a certain extent. Futu Village, a remote mountain village in Yamanashi Prefecture, was not directly affected by the earthquake, although it was far from the epicenter. However, it was precisely because of the earthquake that a serious mudslide disaster occurred in the village of Futu. As the incident occurred during the lunch break. Many villagers are enjoying lunch by their fields. As a result, most of the villagers were lucky enough to escape. However, their houses were swept away by powerful mudslides, and almost none of them remained.

Just when all the villagers fell into despair, a chance chance. Some villagers who went up the mountain to collect firewood accidentally saw something golden buried in the soil at the foot of the mountain of Futu Temple. The curious villagers dug up the bag and looked at it, and couldn't help but be surprised.

What the villagers found was actually golden beans. Soon after the golden beans were brought back to the village, they were sent to Tokyo to be identified by a familiar collector. And the results of the appraisal surprised everyone even more.

The final conclusion given by the experts is that this batch of gold is a penny of Koshu gold minted by the Takeda family during the Warring States period. The value of the gold found alone would be enough to rebuild the entire village of Futu, which was destroyed by the mudslide.

Overjoyed villagers, they soon sold the items to the wealthy in the Tokyo area. Naturally, it caused quite a stir at the time. However, because the villagers are tight-lipped about the location where these Koshu gold were found, and RB has just experienced the tragic Great Kanto Earthquake. Eventually, the matter was settled.

The villagers, who had sold out the Koshu gold, happily returned to Futu Village with the money and distributed the proceeds to all the affected residents of the village. When everyone is happy, the rest can be imagined.

Seeing these contents, Lin Xiu couldn't help but think of the reason for the reconstruction of the Futu Temple that Yamamoto Kengo had mentioned. The villagers of the same village of Futu are in trouble. And at the most difficult time, the treasure of Futu Temple, which has always been regarded as a legend, suddenly appeared to help the villagers tide over the difficulties. Almost the same story seems to have reappeared in the village of Futu after the war, is it really just a coincidence?

With new doubts. Lin Shuichi and Kanako quickly sorted out all the search results. And in the process, they discovered a similar incident. At this moment, Lin Xiu no longer believed that this was a coincidence, and he and Kanako suddenly felt that they seemed to understand something!

"Shuichi-kun, I'm 100% sure that this is definitely not a coincidence, almost every time Futu Village encounters a catastrophe, a mysterious treasure will suddenly appear, this is definitely someone intentional?" Kanako was amazed, she looked through these retrieved records over and over again, from the beginning of the Meiji era to the end of the Heisei era, there are three records of the discovery of Warring States gold and silverware. And the length of these three records is a hundred years apart. If it weren't for the written record, I'm afraid no one would have discovered this pattern just from memory.

"That's true! It seems that the Buddha of Futu Temple is really effective!" Lin Xiuyi said meaningfully.

"But this time, it seems to be a bit long!" Kanako said suspiciously.

"Therefore, if someone anonymously uses the treasures of the Futu Temple to do good, it can't be done by one person!" Lin Xiu said half answering, half speculating.

According to the legend of Futu Temple, there were samurai who escorted the family of the feudal lord to stay in Futu Temple with a large amount of gold and silver, and were killed by the monks in the temple. The women and gold and silver treasures guarded by the samurai were all robbed! Later, wandering samurai with strong martial arts skills were scattered here and stayed overnight in the temple. Inadvertently breaking through the evil deeds of these monks, the wandering samurai single-handedly killed all the monks, rescued the abducted female dependents, and distributed all the gold and silver stolen by the monks to the poor...... "Kanako retold the legend of Futu Temple from memory. In this legend, the monks of Futu Temple are complete evildoers. And the werewolf warrior who exterminated the demon monk and distributed the treasure to the villagers was undoubtedly a Robin Hood-like hero. ”

"Now it seems that the appearance of these treasures is deliberate. The purpose of this is to help the villagers of Futu Village who are in distress! However, the few gold coins found in the river a few years ago seem to be a little abnormal. Because all the timing of the discovery of treasures is after the disaster, and that money seems to have made the discoverer earn a lot of money and live a rich life directly?" Lin Xiuyi said thoughtfully.
