Chapter 422: The Crossroads of Cherry Blossoms and Swords (13) Ise Saburo, Die!

By the time Asaba and Conan threw down the cup, Hattori had already rushed out, and the three of them rushed all the way downstairs, only to find that Sakura Masazo had fallen there with blood on his face.

"The carotid artery was cut with a knife." Maori Kogoro, who came later, had a gloomy face, "Xiaolan, go and call the police." Everyone, go back to the room you just had, and no one is allowed to leave until the police arrive! ”

The detective's deterrent power is still quite strong, and after the remaining few people look at each other a few times, they resolutely and obediently return to the room.

"It's so neat." Hattori's eyes narrowed slightly, "It seems that this is the same person who committed the previous murders." ”

"This is the warehouse." Conan also sank his face and said softly, "Why did he come to the warehouse?" ”

"Looking around, I guess I'm looking for something." Maori looked at the messy environment around him, and said in a deep voice, maybe it's too many times, he is a little used to the two children of Asaba and Conan staying at the scene, this time he didn't open his mouth to drive the two away, and the two of them are also agreeing, and they have been following Hattori's side.

"The buttons on the suit jacket were ripped off." Conan looked at the buttons of the deceased's purple suit and the wallet on his chest and muttered, "The murderer has a lot of strength." ”

"Maybe it's because I'm wearing gloves and I don't have time to unbutton them one by one." Hattori shrugged, "But what are you looking for in your wallet?" ”

"The wallet is full of money, not for money." Asa Yu whispered, "Be quiet for a while. As he spoke, he slowly closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Conan and Hattori fell silent in unison, and the sound of Mori walking back and forth looking for things remained in the room.

"The murderer is a male, with a strong body, amazing wrist strength, and is good at bows and arrows and kendo." Not long after, Asa Yu slowly opened his eyes, shook his head, and said softly, "The method of mimicking crimes is not suitable here, but this Sakura Masazo should be the penultimate member of Genji Hotaru, and from then on, Genji Hotaru will have only one murderer left." ”

"How do you know?" Hattori looked at Asa Yu with some surprise, "Can this kind of thing also be reasoned by your method?" ”

"Not all-powerful." Asa Yu shook her head, "But you can guess a rough idea." First of all, judging from the form of the deceased, it can be basically determined that the murderer is the same person as the three previous murders in Osaka, Tokyo and Kyoto, and the three people who died were all members of Genji Hotaru, and there should be no doubt that Sakura Masazo is also a member of Genji Hotaru. As for why it's the penultimate member...... "Asa Hawa shook his head, "Didn't you notice that among the three remaining three people of Genji Hotaru so far, only two of them have appeared, including Sakura Masazo?" ”

"So what?" Conan frowned, "Among the three of Yoshitsune, Benkei, and Ise Saburo, there may be someone who has been hiding behind the scenes, for example, Yoshitsune should be the boss of Hotaru Genji, right?" I guess I'm hiding behind the scenes. ”

"That's what I've deduced with the simulacrum." Asa Yu raised his eyebrows, "Think about it, Shanneng Temple lost a Buddha statue eight years ago, right?" ”

"That's right." Hattori was a little stunned, "The Buddha statue was indeed stolen by Hotaru Genji, but what does this have to do with that Buddha statue?" ”

"What is the purpose of stealing the Buddha statue? Naturally, it is to sell it for money. There was some disdain in Asa Yu's smile, "Why are those guys killing each other?" Probably to swallow the Buddha statue for himself, right? ”

"You mean!" Conan's eyes widened.

"If I'm not mistaken, most of the leaders of this organization, Yoshitsune, have passed away or washed their hands." Asa Yu squinted his eyes and said, "I speculate from the identity of Yoshitsune as the head of the organization, but I can't find a reason to sit still anyway, the previous three murders were completely committed by one person, if the two of them divide the Buddha statue equally, there is absolutely no possibility that one person will complete these things while the other person watches the excitement, so I guess Genji Hotaru is now the only one left!" ”

"That's true." Hattori exhaled. "I also understood that the original two people should have completed the common goal, and one of them wanted to swallow the Buddha statue alone, so he killed Sakura Masa. In this way, everything is dressed, but ......." said this, Hattori frowned, "why did he kill me?" ”

"I don't know." Conan shook his head, "However, Sakura Masazo runs an antique shop, so we might as well go there and have a look, maybe we can find some clues." ”

"Not bad." Asa Yu nodded, agreeing with Conan's idea. The three of them took advantage of the arrival of Kyoto police officer Ayakoji to take a picture with him, and after proving that the three of them were now at the scene, they slipped out of the store and rode a motorcycle straight to Sakura Masazo's store.

After Asa Yu effortlessly unlocked the door, the three of them slipped in unceremoniously, the stakes were high, and Conan also abandoned the previous principles that he thought were somewhat pedantic in Asa Yu's opinion, and chose to break in.

"Sure enough, it's the same as Charlotte said." Conan looked at the book of righteousness that he had flipped out of the bookshelf in his hand, and his face sank, "He's really a member of Genji Hotaru!" ”

"Ise Saburo." Asa Yu looked at the few words marked with black markers on the last page of the Yijing Book and raised his eyebrows, "So, if I'm not mistaken, the rest of the one should be Benkei, right?" ”

The Book of Righteousness is actually a book of Benkei chronicles...... Suddenly, a sentence flashed through Asa Yu's mind, making Asa Yu frown slightly, but he couldn't remember who said it for a while.

"Wait......" Hattori snorted suddenly, and then pulled out a piece of paper facing each other from a page in the Yoshitsune, "What is this?" ”

"A copy of that picture!" Looking at the five-story diagram that looked like a pagoda and a bookshelf, Conan and Asa Yu glanced at each other and spoke at the same time.

"In this way, he is the one who sent the letter to my uncle." Conan looked at the picture in his hand and whispered, "But what is this for?" ”

"If you unravel this picture, you will find the Buddha statue......" Asaba slowly closed his eyes, "If I were Benkei...... Why am I sending this picture? ”

"Could it be that the Buddha statue is not in Genji Hotaru's hands now?" Hattori frowned slightly, "In this case, Benkei's killing seems to have other meanings than monopoly......"

"Yes!" Asa Yu opened his eyes suddenly, and the golden light flashed in his eyes, "This sentence is right!" ”

"Which word?" Hattori was stunned.

"The Buddha statue is not in Genji Hotaru's hands now!" Asa Yu said excitedly, "I know, I know why Yoshitsune hasn't shown up!" ”

"It turns out that he is really dead!"
