It was close to 9 o'clock, and everyone in the tea room went to the toilet one after another, and only Uncle Maori was tirelessly happy.

Gao Changchang yawned and was about to find a room to rest when a sudden shout came from downstairs.

"Someone! Come on! ”

"What's wrong?"

Uncle Maori took the lead downstairs and followed the sound to the tea house proprietress at the door of the basement warehouse.

"What's wrong?"

"Sakura, Mr. Sakura, he ......"

Gao Cheng followed behind and looked into the warehouse, his eyes suddenly shrunk.

The sleek antique art dealer Sakura Masazo was now lying on his back on the floor, his eyes wide, his carotid artery severed and bleeding all over the ground.

"It's really neat," Hattori said after glancing at Takasei and Conan, crouching down next to the corpse, "This may be the same person as the recent murder......"

Gao Cheng didn't speak, his eyes swept over Sakura Masa's corpse and looked at the messy warehouse.

Things were turned over in a mess, and it looked like Sakura was being attacked from behind when she was looking for something, and the buttons of her suit were rudely ripped open, and her wallet full of banknotes was placed on her body......

"Why did Sakura-san come here?"

"I don't know," the proprietress was frightened, "I've been keeping accounts in the room on the first floor, and then I wanted to wake up Mr. Sakura at 9 o'clock, but Mr. Sakura wasn't in the room, and it happened that there was a light in the basement warehouse......"

Uncle Maori stood up from the side of the corpse and faced the people outside the warehouse: "It seems that Mr. Sakura was killed when he was looking for something in the warehouse, so I will trouble you to wait in the tea room above before the police arrive, and no one can leave here." ”

"Okay."

When Long Yuan heard this, he walked upstairs one after another, and Gao Cheng hurriedly asked, "Excuse me, does Mr. Sakura also have a copy of "The Book of Righteousness"?" ”

"Huh?" Saijo was stunned, "He did say that he also had a book of Yoshitsune, because he was very interested in Yoshitsura and Benkei......"

Uncle Maori wondered, "Joto boy, don't you think that Mr. Sakura is also one of the members of Genji Hotaru?" ”

"It's very likely," Gao Cheng looked at the people leaving, "and the murderer is among these people......"

"Hmph, it's not impossible that someone outside did it......"

"If someone enters the tea house, the proprietress can't be unnoticed."

"Maybe you didn't notice it?" The uncle unhappily grabbed Conan, who was checking the corpse, "Stinky boy, don't touch the corpse!" How many times do you have to say it before you understand?! ”

"It hurts!"

"Uncle," Gao Cheng took a bunch of keys from Sakura Masazo's body, "I think it's best to go to Mr. Sakura's antique shop first......"

Uncle Maori glared: "Stinky boy, how can you mess around, you should wait for the police to ...... now"

"That's fine, right? Since it may be Genji's Hotaru case, I should hurry up and start an investigation before anything happens......"

Gao Cheng chuckled and took out the Metropolitan Police Department's case handling documents, and suddenly heard the voices of the proprietress and the police upstairs.

"I'm Officer Ayakoji at the Kyoto Prefectural Police Station."

"Thank you for your hard work, please come in ......"

Gao Cheng walked up the stairs, and sure enough, he saw the upturned Ayakoji with two police officers entering the tea house.

It's coming so fast, this guy shouldn't have been guarding this side in the first place, right?

"Hmph," Ayakoji also noticed Gao Cheng, and after leaving a police officer to guard the door, he walked towards the basement stairs and said, "No matter what you are thinking, since you have arrived in Kyoto, you should be dominated by me, the Kyoto police officer......"

"You don't think you've been staring at me, are you? It's really fast......" Gao Cheng twitched the corners of his mouth, "Where's your pet squirrel?" ”

"I don't take it out every day!"

Ayakoji entered the basement warehouse with a straight face, and Hattori was stunned.

"Joto, this guy is your partner this time?"

"Yes," Gao Cheng said helplessly, "although it's weird, but I've heard that he is also a capable police officer...... Forget it, let's go to that antique shop first. ”

With the arrival of the follow-up police, the entire teahouse was searched, including the group in the teahouse, but the most important murder weapon was not found until the end.

The only possibility is that the murderer threw the murder weapon into the river outside from the gas window in the basement, but after the police search, nothing was found in the river, and Xiaolan was there on the terrace all the time, and did not see any suspicious characters below, and no witnesses were found on the opposite embankment.

On Teramachi Road, Takasei rushed to Sakuramasa's antique art store with the key, Hattori and Conan.

The antique art items didn't see anything special, but I found a copy of the "Book of Righteousness" in the office.

"Joto," Conan said in surprise as he looked through the Yoshitsune, "and it says Ise Saburo on it, and there is a photocopy paper in the middle......

Hattori followed: "This piece of paper is a photocopy of that treasure map...... It turns out that Mr. Sakura is likely to be one of the three survivors of Hotaru Genji, Ise Saburo, and the murderer searched for the original of this drawing at the tea house, but he didn't expect that Mr. Sakura still had a photocopy left in the store. ”

Gao Cheng leaned on the several shelves next to him and looked at Conan comfortably and analyzed.

This case is a big case, and it has been recognized by the system when he received the commission from the police, and it is not small for him, of course, it will not be in the hands of others, but with these two guys, at least everything is easier, although sometimes it is not very reliable......

"I said Joto," Hattori looked at the lazy Gao Cheng next to him with a dark face, "Tell me, do you have any clues about the murderer?" ”

"Don't you all have the bottom in your hearts? If there is no problem with the proprietress of the proprietress at that time, it is doubtful that Saijo Taiga, Ryuen, and Mizuo ...... who went to the toilet at that time" Takasei touched his chin and said, "But the strange thing is that when Mr. Mizuo went to the toilet, Miss Suzu Chiga went with him......"

"Dancers seem to do this, the reason why I didn't accompany Mr. Saijo and Mr. Long Yuan should be playing games with my uncle at the time."

"Really?"

Gao Cheng thought of the appearance of Saijo and the others.

"These guys have all learned kendo, but they don't know how good they are...... The most important thing now is to find the missing murder weapon first, and first determine whether someone outside committed the crime or whether there are accomplices. ”

"You're right," Hattori said helplessly, "and that will only depend on whether your strange partner, the police officer, can find any clues......"

"I'm not some strange partner officer," Ayakoji walked into the office with a straight face, glancing at Gao Chengdao, "We've already searched the warehouse, and quite a few of them are art pieces that Hotaru Genji stole in the past. ”

"Officer Ayakoji?" Gao Cheng saw Aya Xiaolu and said in surprise, "Has the investigation been completed over there at the tea house?" Mr. Saijo, what about them? ”

"I've already gone back, after all, I can't find the murder weapon," Aya Xiaolu turned around and walked out of the office, and suddenly looked back at Gao Chengdao, "Detective Chenghu, remember to contact me if you have any clues." ”

"Okay."

Gao Cheng followed out of the office.

Sakura Masazo is undoubtedly one of the members of Genji Hotaru, and it should be the one who handles the stolen goods, plus this guy has already killed 6 people, which is really weird enough.

Did the murderer have a grudge against Hotaru Genji, or was the murderer the main Buddha statue that was stolen for the sake of Sanno Temple?

The rest that hasn't been determined is the head of the Genji Hotaru Yoshitsune and another one named Benkei, but I don't know what happened to the letter sent to Sanno Temple.
