In a Japanese restaurant in Kyoto, Gao Cheng and Uncle Maori sat together in the aisle, and on the other side, Xiaolan and several girls were chatting energetically, and they didn't notice the uncle who was grabbing his hair and thinking hard.

"How so? Whether it's the ruins of Yoshitsura or the ruins of Benkei, it has nothing to do with this picture at all. ”

Uncle Maori stared at the drawing paper, and even his eyes were bloodshot.

"I mean, Castle, isn't this painting a joke?"

"Probably not, who would have nothing to do with such a joke......"

Gao Cheng held his chin and looked at Xiao Lan, the three girls always had endless words, only Xiao Ai sat quietly next to him, holding a teacup and slowly taking a sip of hot tea and looking at him.

Obviously, he came to investigate, but as a result, He Ye, who acted as a tour guide, and a few girls were grinding and chirping, and they had to shoot non-stop in every place.

And Conan's kid, I don't know where to find an excuse to investigate.

You can't get lost, right?

But then again, Kyoto is a place that gives the illusion of traveling back in time, and it's just in time for the cherry blossoms, so if you're not looking into the case, it's a good idea to take a stroll.

"Magazine interviews?" Xiaolan suddenly snorted softly and pulled back Gao Cheng's thoughts.

"Yes, it's a very best-selling intelligence magazine in Kansai, and the reporter asked about Pingji's first love in it," He Ye looked a little lost, and took out a magazine from his bag and said, "He said that it was a girl who was slightly older than him in the third grade of elementary school in his country, and he also took out a token that said it was related to her, and specially asked the reporter to take a photo!" ”

"What is this?" Xiaolan looked at the magazine photo and found that Hattori was holding this bead in his hand.

"A crystal bead, probably a ...... given to him by that girl"

"Hattori's first love?" Gao Cheng poked his head over, "Isn't his first love with you?" ”

"Huh? No, it's not," He Ye blushed and shook his head, "How could it be me...... Heiji seems to have met once when he was a child, and every time he came to Kyoto, he would look for that girl, but he couldn't find it. ”

That's why he asked the reporter to take a picture of the crystal beads, and wanted to wait for the girl to see the report and go to him? This guy really has a ......."

Gao Cheng flipped through the magazine.

"That guy said there was something, could it be his first love?"

"I say," Uncle Maori interjected with a stinky face, "it's almost time to go to the next place, right?" It's going to be night a little longer! ”

"Wait a little longer, uncle, I haven't eaten anything yet...... He Ye raised his hand and shouted inside, "Boss, 5 bowls of red bean soup, please hurry up!" ”

"Still waiting...... "The uncle wanted to collapse on the chair like a ball of air, and regretted finding a little girl to be a guide.

Do evil......

"Huh? Isn't this Mr. Maori? ”

Sakura Masazo, an ancient art merchant sitting next door, heard the uncle's voice and stood up in surprise: "What a coincidence, I also said that I didn't see you when I went to Sanno Temple today......"

"Ahaha," Uncle Maori said in an instant, "just to run some errands nearby, just come over with my daughter and her friends for a bite to eat." ”

"Whatever it is, it must be easy to have Mr. Maori on the job, right?"

"Where, Where, ......"

"By the way, would you like to have a few drinks later," Sakura Masazo invited, "It just so happens that they will all get together." ”

"Really?" Uncle's eyes lit up, "That's great, I'm a good person, haha." ”

Gao Cheng looked at Xiaolan who was still chatting with a headache, stared at the excited uncle and interjected, "Uncle, don't we still have to investigate?" ”

"Hey, what's the hurry, I don't think it's too late to check tomorrow," the uncle completely forgot about his troubles, and said to a few girls chatting next to him, "Xiaolan, I'll go talk to Mr. Sakura and them first, and go back to Sannei Temple early after you finish shopping." ”

"It's really ......"

Gao Cheng was speechless and looked at the uncle who had left with Sakura Masazo, and suddenly thought of the young master who was able to play the water wake and the owner of the antique bookstore, Saijo Taihe.

Not to mention the Buddha statue in advance, he came to Kyoto to investigate the serial killings, especially to find out the guy who used archery and kendo to kill people, and maybe it would be good to touch the situation with these local people who are learning kendo.

"That, Xiaolan," Gao Cheng hurriedly followed, "Xiao Ai will trouble you to take care of it, I'll go and see the situation." ”

Yuan Zi blinked in a daze: "What the hell is going on?" Don't you have to keep looking for clues? ”

"I guess there are new clues," He Ye smiled, "Forget it, it's good if there are no boys." ”

"Hmm......" Yuan Zi nodded absentmindedly.

……

At night, Ponto-cho.

Like Kabukicho, Pontocho, which is located on the Kamogawa River, is lined with teahouses and pubs, and it is especially lively at night, especially during the cherry blossom season, when you can enjoy the cherry blossoms across the river from the teahouse.

As the quirky tone of Japanese geisha drifted away, Gao Cheng silently leaned against the fence of the small building and looked outside.

There is a small river under the teahouse, and then across the embankment is the wide Yachuan River, you can see the night cherry blossoms in full bloom on the opposite bank in the distance, the city lights reflect quite dreamy, the pedestrians on the side of the Yachuan River are attracted by the beautiful scenery, and many couples lean on the side of the Yachuan River to enjoy the cherry blossoms.

It's very flavorful, but it's a pity that someone spoils the scenery......

Gao Cheng looked back at the uncle who clapped his hands and applauded again and again.

"Yes, yes, Miss Chiga, No. 1 in Japan!"

"Thanks for the compliment." The geisha dancer knelt on the tatami mat and leaned over slightly, and her frighteningly white makeup really made Gao Cheng not like it.

I really don't understand this kind of Japanese culture, so it's good to dress up like a ghost, but fortunately, this dancer named Senga Suzu has a good foundation......

"Come on," Long Yuan invited after clapping, "Hurry up and pour wine for the Maori detective!" ”

"Okay."

Chiga, a dancer, greeted the face of Uncle Maori's pig, and meekly walked to the side to help pour the wine.

"Sir, please."

"Okay," the uncle hurriedly picked up his glass, "It's like I'm in heaven!" ”

"Then you'll never come back!" Xiaolan walked in with a cold face and the garden, "Damn, as long as I don't pay attention, you'll mess around!" ”

The uncle almost choked on the drink, and coughed again and again: "Xiao, Xiaolan?!" How did you end up here? ”

"What the abbot told us, hmph, what else to talk about!"

"Miss Xiaolan, don't blame Ling Zun," Long Yuan said with a funny smile, "After all, this is also what we invited him over." ”

"yes, we all want to ask the detective how he reasoned about Genji Hotaru's case."

Everyone helped to speak: "You guys should also sit down together, it happens to be a lot of people." ”

"Then bother."

As everyone greeted, Hattori followed him into the tea room with a curious expression, and after sitting down at the table with Conan, he looked at the dancer in surprise: "You are not a ...... from Miyagawa Town"

"Yes," the dancer smiled, "My name is Suzu Chiga, and I thanked you very much last time." ”

Xiao Ai looked at everyone, and walked to Gao Cheng's side with his little hand behind his back: "It turns out that it is because of this that we are separated." ”

"Please, I didn't do anything."

Gao Cheng looked at the uncle who was reprimanded by Xiaolan with a shrugging face.

"I'm not that old man......

"You can see the river outside!" When I walked over to the garden, I took a look and was immediately attracted by the night view outside, "The cherry blossoms are blooming so beautifully!" ”

"That's the Kamogawa ......"

Gao Cheng looked down and unexpectedly saw that the previous officer Ayakoji was also standing on the bank of the river and looking this way, but after being discovered by him, he turned around indifferently and turned away, as if he didn't know him.

How did this guy end up here?

Gao Cheng frowned.

"I'm really sorry," Sakura Masazo suddenly asked the teahouse lady, "I've been sleep deprived lately, can you let me go to the room below to rest?" ”

"If you want to rest, there are no other guests tonight anyway, so you can go next door......"

"No, no, I'm more used to sleeping downstairs, please wake me up at 9 o'clock ......."

Sakura Masazo looked at the watch time, and said to everyone, "Everyone, have fun." ”

Mizuo didn't care about Sakura Masazo's departure, but turned to a few girls and said, "You can go to the terrace below and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the night cherry blossoms, the weather bureau says that the clouds will disperse tonight, and you can see a beautiful moon view." ”

"Really?" He Ye said happily, "Let's go down!" ”

Gao Cheng looked down, the terrace was just above the river downstairs, it was a water terrace: "I'll forget it, just watch it here." ”

Hattori followed, "I'll stay too." ”

"Why?" He Ye Hu said suspiciously, "Pingci, are you interested in that dancer?" ”

Hattori was full of black lines: "Please, don't talk nonsense about things that you don't have, okay?" ”

"Humph!"

The girls and the leaves went to the terrace downstairs by themselves, and the tea room was alive again, only Gao Cheng and Hattori and Conan were quietly leaning against the guardrail.

Several people have little interest in the tea house, and their hearts are full of the matter of Genji Hotaru's case.

Saijo Taiga, who was sitting on the side, looked curiously at Gao Cheng, who hadn't spoken much since he came to the teahouse, and couldn't help but speak: "I'm sorry, I've been familiar to me since yesterday, aren't you the Kendo genius Okita Soji from Quanxin High School?" ”

"No," Gao Cheng said embarrassedly, "Although I also studied kendo, it's really not Okita-san...... I forgot to introduce myself, but my name is Takanari Joto, and I came from Tokyo with Uncle Mori. ”

"Oh," Saijo Taiga suddenly realized, "You're that Detective Takanari Shiroto who is as famous as Mr. Mori, and I heard that you are also very good at kendo......"

"I just practiced and played, and I didn't even participate in a game...... By the way, where does Mr. Saijo learn kendo now? Gao Cheng asked casually.

"Well, I've actually quit the dojo," Saijo Taiga said with a smile, "because I still prefer ancient swordsmanship to the swordsmanship that is popular now......"

"Ancient swordsmanship?"

"Uh......"

Saijo paused, shook his head regretfully, and said: "After all, swordsmanship existed to kill people from the beginning, but in this era, the taste is getting weaker and weaker...... To be honest, I'm all focused on the bookstore right now, and I'm just going out to get together with my former kendo buddies once in a while......"

"After all, it's an era of peace," Gao Cheng's gaze swept over Saijo's tiger's mouth, "Besides, swordsmanship doesn't have to be used to kill people, even ancient swordsmanship is not necessarily killing swordsmanship." ”

Saijo smiled and didn't continue talking.

There's really nothing to say about a swordsman who hasn't killed anyone......

"Oops, that's beautiful!" Uncle Maori rubbed the dancer's slender hand with drool, "This finger is like a white fish, I really want to eat it......"

"Daddy! You can hear it here! Xiaolan's roar rang out downstairs.

Seeing this, Saijo smiled softly, left the seat and said, "I'll go to the bathroom......"

Hattori then sat down next to Takasei, looked at Saijo's departing figure and asked in a low voice, "Hey, Joto, what are you talking to him about?" ”

Gao Cheng shook his head and said, "Just casually talk about kendo...... But I really can't see it, this guy looks kind and angry, and his thoughts are quite dangerous. ”

"You don't suspect he's the murderer, do you?"

"Please, there's no clue at all, what do I have to suspect."

Gao Cheng glanced at Hattori and turned his gaze to the dancer who was playing a game with Uncle Maori.

"You're not really interested in this dancer, are you? Could she be the first love you're looking for? ”

"How, how is that possible?" Hattori blushed, "Where did you know about my first love?" ”

Gao Cheng said with disdain: "Of course I said it to Ye, you guy don't know how to cherish it when you have Heye, what is the matter, but it turned out that you came to Kyoto to find your first love......"

"What nonsense? Actually, I also want to investigate the case of Genji Hotaru," Hattori didn't have a good breath, "Although the owner of the takoyaki restaurant in Osaka who was killed was a member of the thief group, I was taken care of by him a lot, so I wanted to find out the murderer of this incident......"

Hattori looked at the crowd around Uncle Maori, and whispered closer: "Actually, I was attacked by a strange person when I was investigating today, with a bow and arrow, it is very likely that it is the murderer." ”

"Assault on you?" Gao Cheng looked Hattori up and down, "Why?" ”

"How do I know, maybe I'm worried about what I'll find out?"

Hattori looked depressedly at Uncle Maori, who was playing games with the dancer: "What kind of medicine did this old man take today?" ”

Conan next to him said helplessly: "He usually dies like this." ”

Outside, it's much quieter than the bustling teahouses, with the chiisha singing in the night sky, occasionally mixed with laughter.

As the clouds disperse and a bright moon hangs overhead, the Kamogawa River and the cherry blossoms along the coast are even more charming, but the garden on the terrace is not in the mood to enjoy the moon.

"I really envy you," Yuan Zi sighed lightly with a pestle, "You still have a hope, childhood sweetheart...... Alas, there are so many troubles for the girl......"

"Where?" He Ye looked at Hattori who was talking with Gao Cheng above, "That guy in Pingji is really angry with me!" ”

Xiaolan looked up, just in time to meet Conan's dodging gaze.

"Actually, I envy you a lot, because I can see you when I want to......"

Upstairs, Hattori rubbed Conan's elbow and said with a teasing smile, "Hey, Kudo, you also have a weak heart, huh?" ”

"." Conan glanced down again and turned to Gao Chengdao, "Joto, how long are you going to drag it out?" ”

"Huh? What dragged on until when? ”

Gao Cheng came back from his thoughts, met the eyes of the two, and temporarily put aside the matter of the case and said with a wry smile: "Sometimes I don't believe in evil, but as long as I have a good impression of the girl, I will be involved in the incident immediately, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"Speaking of which, every time I meet you and Kudo, I get involved in an incident, it's really weird," Hattori looked at Gao Cheng seriously, "There are so many temples in Kyoto, you two can consider exorcism." ”

Conan's eyelids twitched.
