Shizuoka Prefecture, inside a hot spring inn in Izu. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Omura, how is the preparation for the sightseeing expansion project of the Phantom Temple? We won't allow any surprises this time! Do you understand. Hideaki Oda sat on the edge of the hot spring, drank a glass of sake, and said to the person in front of him.

"You're almost ready, President Oda. I made an appointment with some investors in Tokyo to meet tomorrow afternoon. When the time comes, I will definitely get enough investment, and it will not affect the expansion project of the Phantom Temple. Yosuke Omura cautiously returned.

"That's good, if things don't work out, you know the consequences!" Oda Hideaki glanced gloomily at Yosuke Omura.

"Hey!" Yosuke Omura replied with his head down.

Shout~~.

A card flew to the wooden tray that floated in front of Hideaki Oda.

Hideaki Oda picked up the card. The card is printed with a Grim Reaper holding a giant scythe, and when turned over, there are words written on the back.

And when Oda Hideaki saw what was written on the card, his eyes widened.

Hideaki Oda, male, 56 years old.

The use of black means to forcibly embezzle the property of three companies resulted in the suicide of four people and the orphaning of two children.

Many times strong. raped his former female secretary and threatened to take pictures, causing her to commit suicide by jumping off a building.

Take advantage of a travel agency. Private. Poison. products, illegally enrichment of 3 billion yen.

He is now sentenced to death.

Although Oda Hideaki was soaking in the hot spring, a cold sweat broke out on his body at this time.

"Pranks? No way, if it was a prank, it wouldn't be so coincidental, and the list happened to be all the things that I had committed. ”

"The illegal and criminal things I have done over the years have been written on it. In his early years, he used black means to embezzle the property of the three companies. Private. Poison. The things of the product are only known to his confidant Omura. Is he going to kill me? ”

"No, it shouldn't be him, no one but myself should know that I'm strong. Raped that woman. The woman did commit suicide. And he didn't leave a suicide note or anything like that to denounce me. ”

"Who is it? Who the hell is making this joke with me? No, no kidding! The man knew all the crimes he had committed, but he didn't let it go. Ask for money. Could it be that someone really wants to kill themselves?! Oda Hideaki held the card tightly in his hand.

"President! What happened to you? Yosuke Omura asked cautiously when he saw Oda Hideaki's unusual expression.

"Huh? It's okay, it's just a child's prank! Oda Hideaki perfunctory.

"Humph! If you want to kill me Hideaki Oda, it's not that simple! Whoever it is, I'm going to make you pay for it! A murderous intent flashed in Oda Hideaki's eyes, and then he stood up from the hot spring, put on his bathrobe and walked out.

"President Oda?" Yosuke Omura hurriedly followed.

At Hideaki Oda's home, Hideaki Oda is sitting at his desk in the study. With a pistol in hand, he checked the condition of the pistol, then loaded the bullets from the pistol and opened the safe.

On Oda's desk was a crumpled card.

"Humph! It doesn't matter who it is. If you want to kill me Oda Hideaki, just let the horse come! I, Oda Hideaki, am not scared! Oda held the pistol in both hands and pointed it at the door of the study.

"Bang. Let's see who judges whom! Hum! ”

The next day, in front of the mountain gate of the Phantom Temple in Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture.

"Hmm~~ It's so comfortable." Xiaolan stood on the hill and stretched out into the distance. Then look at Conan.

"Actually, it's not bad to come to the mountains once in a while."

"Hmm. This time, I have to thank Sister Xiaolan for answering the questions in the magazine correctly to come out for free," Conan said with a smile and flattery.

"But the one who really solved the mystery is obviously Conan, you." Xiaolan bent down and rubbed Conan's head with a smile.

"Huh..."

"Dad, let's go!" Xiaolan shouted to Kogoro, who was leaning against the temple gate and yawning.

"Oh, this kind of place is boring to death, I'll just say, other people's trips, there must be nothing fun." Kogoro leaned against the mountain gate and complained weakly.

"What's the matter? When I first heard that I was going to be on a trip, I was so happy. Xiaolan saw her father's reluctant look and said dissatisfied.

"You two go play on your own, I'm going to the hotel to take a good shower now," Kogoro waved at the two of them. Pull a cigarette out of the cigarette case and prepare to light it.

"I'm sorry sir, but smoking is not allowed in our temple." A man who appeared to be in his fifties walked over with a broom to stop Kogoro from preparing to smoke.

"Oh. That's right. Kogoro, who had been reprimanded, stuffed the cigarette back into it.

"I'm so embarrassed." Xiaolan hurriedly ran over and apologized.

"It doesn't matter. You're a tourist, aren't you? The man asked.

"Hmm. Yes. ”

"Oh? If you don't mind, let me take you around. The middle-aged man warmly invited.

"Oh? Is that good? Xiaolan asked politely.

"It's okay. Let's go. "It's difficult for middle-aged people to take the lead and walk towards the temple.

"My name is Okabe Shigeyoshi, and I'm a miscellaneous staff member at this temple and have been working here for more than ten years. So I'm all too familiar with this temple. The middle-aged man said as he walked.

"This temple was built 400 years ago."

"Four hundred years? It's been a long time! Xiaolan heard that the history of this temple was actually four hundred years old, and she sighed from the bottom of her heart.

"It's a long history. And there's something left over from every era. For example, in the grass next to the five-storied pagoda, there is an ancient well that was still in use until the middle of the Edo period. Okabe Shigekichi said proudly.

"Then why didn't you stop using it anymore?" Conan asked curiously.

"Because all of a sudden, all the water in the well withered. It is said that it was because of a lovelorn girl who cried in front of the entrance for three days and three nights, and then her tears were not enough to cry, so she used up all the water in the well. "Okabe Shigeyoshi told you a legend about Furui.

"Huh..." Kogoro smiled speechlessly.

It didn't take long for them to come to the face of the most famous five-storied pagoda of the Phantom Temple.

"Wow!"

"There's a terrible legend about this five-storied pagoda." Shigekichi Okamoto looked at the five-storied pagoda and said mysteriously.

"What kind of legend is it?" Although Xiaolan was very afraid of ghosts and the like, she couldn't help but ask curiously.

"At the beginning of the Edo period, after the death of the former presiding officer, a young monk took over his job at the hope of the former presiding officer. But then he falls in love with a girl at the bottom of the mountain and breaks the precepts. He escaped from the temple and eloped with the girl. ”

"I don't know if it was because of a ghost, he was captured by a big eagle, and finally his body was found hanging under the eaves at the top of the five-storied pagoda," Shigeyoshi Okamoto pointed to the place where the eaves at the top of the tower protruded.

"Ahh It's scary. Xiaolan showed a frightened expression.

Later, in the middle of the Edo period, there was an unruly abbot who sold the daily necessities of the temple and indulged in alcohol every day. But one day he suddenly disappeared without a trace. A few days later, he was found hanging from the top of the five-storied pagoda and died. ”

When Xiaolan heard the legend, her whole face turned blue with fright.

"Since then, whenever someone breaks the precepts inside the temple, legend has it that this five-storied pagoda will start to cause trouble!" Okamoto Shigeyoshi said gloomily.

Xiaolan and Kogoro were both frightened and huddled together.

Syllable!

Kogoro and Koran turned around when they heard the sound. He found a wrinkled, bald head standing behind him.

"Ahh Hell! ”
