The next day, Gao Cheng walked out of Kyoto Station with his bag in the afternoon, and when he talked about the last time he came to Kyoto, he still attended a blind date party, and then he was involved in a murder on the set.

As for this ......

Gao Cheng looked at the grinning garden next to him.

"Why did the daughter of the dignified Suzuki Foundation follow her uncle......

"Oh, of course people want to come and see Kyoto with Xiaolan, I heard that the cherry blossoms here are exceptionally beautiful," the garden avoided his gaze, "Besides, I've never been to ......Kyoto when I'm so big."

"What about the deceivers?"

Uncle Maori looked at the excited Xiaolan with calm eyelids, especially Conan who followed Xiaolan's side.

"Listen, I brought you here with kindness, don't get in the way of my work these days!"

"Good!"

Conan agreed, looking like a good baby, seeing that the uncle was beating a drum in his heart, he turned to Gao Cheng in a muffled voice: "I said Chenghu boy, are you with us or what should we do?" ”

Gao Cheng said indifferently: "Let's go to that Sanno Temple first, maybe the other party asked the uncle to investigate the matter is related to Genji Hotaru." ”

"Hmph," said the uncle, "say yes first, and you will listen to me after you pass." ”

"No problem."

Outside Shanneng Temple, two taxis stopped at the door, and Gao Cheng and his uncle got out of the car one after another.

You can faintly see the cherry blossoms outside, listen to the driver's brother said, Yamano Temple is famous in the vicinity, the Buddha statues and cherry blossoms in the temple are quite popular, and there are just a few days when the main Buddha medicine master in the temple is the day of the opening of the Buddha once every 12 years.

Entering through the entrance of the temple, you will see a group of people talking in the middle of the wide courtyard, including two monks.

"Mr. Maori!" A young monk noticed the uncle, and hurriedly greeted the uncle, shook hands with the uncle, and introduced, "Thank you for coming from afar, I am Long Yuan who contacted you, and this is the abbot of this temple, Yuanhai......"

The old monk who came over folded his hands and bowed.

"These three are the benefactors of the temple," the young monk Tatsuen, continuing to introduce several other visitors, "Mr. Sakura Masazo is an antique art dealer who runs an antique shop on Teramachi Road, next to him is the young master of Noh Mizuwa, Mr. Harutaro Mizuo, and finally Mr. Saijo Oga, who runs a second-hand bookstore. ”

Sakura, an antique art merchant who was introduced, was wide and fat, wearing glasses, and the fat on his face revealed the sleek atmosphere of a businessman, and he casually complimented Uncle Maori, but the two next to him were neither sought after nor cold.

The young master of Mizuiryu is a young man with short and medium hair, wearing a kimono, nodding lightly at Uncle Maori, quite a bit of a young master's temperament, while the owner of a used bookstore named Saijo Taiga looks like a nerd, with a pair of round glasses on his long thin face, and he looks the most amiable.

"Hello, please advise."

"Hehe," the old monk said with a smile, "not so much as the donor, in fact, we are all kendo comrades." ”

"You're all practicing kendo," Uncle Maori said in surprise, "no wonder the abbot is so strong." ”

"Kendo?"

Gao Cheng stood in the back and didn't mean to introduce himself, but couldn't help but think about it.

This murderer is a kendo master, maybe Kyoto can really find out something, after all, compared with Tokyo and Osaka, the traditional atmosphere here in Kyoto is undoubtedly the deepest, of course, including the inheritance of kendo.

Sometimes you feel like you've stepped back in time to ancient Japan......

"Then, Mr. Maori," Long Yuan took the lead to lead the way, "I'll take you to see the situation." ”

"It's fine."

"That ......" Saijo Taiga looked at Gao Cheng who passed by, and opened his mouth unexpectedly, but he couldn't ask the words.

"That young man looks a little familiar," Sakura Masazo's face flashed with a hint of doubt, "Is it Mr. Maori's son-in-law?" ”

"Maybe......"

"What?" After separating from Sakura Masazo and the others, Uncle Maori followed Long Yuan into the main hall, "That Lord Buddha was stolen?!" ”

"Yes, it was 8 years ago," Long Yuan opened the shrine, revealing the only two remaining Buddha statues, "The one on the left is the Sunlight Bodhisattva statue, and the right is the Moonlight Bodhisattva statue, but the Medicine Buddha that was originally placed in the middle was stolen...... At first, I was advocating to call the police immediately, but the abbot stopped me, saying that if I had a fate, maybe one day I would be able to meet the Medicine Buddha again. ”

"He really thinks about it," Uncle Maori complained powerlessly, "but the day after tomorrow will be for the general public to visit, right?" To find the Buddha statue that has been missing for 8 years in these days, this is also ......"

Long Yuan led everyone to the meditation room of the side hall and handed a letter without a stamp to the uncle: "Actually, just five days ago, I found a letter in the mailbox in the temple. ”

"There are no stamps, and there is no writing about who the sender is, pretending to be a ghost......"

Uncle Maori opened the envelope and took out two pieces of letter paper with the words "If you solve the mystery of this painting, you will know where the Buddha statue is", and the bottom piece of paper was painted with some strange things, and by the way, the original photo of the Medicine Buddha was attached.

"What's this drawing?"

As Long Yuan went out after pouring tea, the uncle frowned and didn't mind putting it in front of Gao Cheng.

"What do you think, kid from the city?"

"Please, uncle, I'm having a headache with the code or something......"

Gao Cheng looked at the drawing paper with his eyelids slumped.

The top five floors are depicted with red cicadas, green tengus, and red goldfish, and the fourth layer is a yellow chicken and a yellow loach, and there is an ink dot next to it.

Below, between the second and third floors, there are paintings of violets, green tengus, and purple Mt. Fuji, and an acorn on the outside.

It is very likely that the person who stole the Buddha statue from Sannoji Temple was Genji Hotaru, but now, 8 years later, why did he send such a letter?

Gao Cheng muttered in his heart.

I wonder if it has something to do with the recent killings......

The garden approached and said, "The loaches are still painted yellow, and they are disgusting when they look at it......

"It's so hard to understand," Xiaolan said worriedly, "Dad, can you really find the Buddha statue before the day after tomorrow?" ”

"Uh," Uncle Maori said with a sweat profuse, "You don't have to worry, this kind of puzzle will definitely be solved with your father!" Uh, I said, Joto, aren't you going to investigate the Genji Hotaru case? I think the case of the disappearance of this Buddha statue may be related to them, so I will take you with me. ”

Gao Cheng is full of black lines.

This man really speaks......

"To be honest, I'm still a little confused," Gao Cheng looked outside the meditation room and said, "How could the monk of Shanneng Temple come all the way to find his uncle?" Hattori here in Kyoto must be famous, right? And that guy has always been a ...... who doesn't charge commissioning fees."

"Hey, what's this?" Uncle Maori smiled calmly, "Anyway, how can that hairy boy compare to me, Japan's number one detective?" ”

"Hehe......"

Gao Cheng glanced at Xiao Ai next to him and Cha.

"Speaking of Hattori," Xiaolan suddenly remembered, "I spoke to Kazuha on the phone before coming here, and she said that she could take us to Kyoto tomorrow......"

Conan raised his head and asked, "Will Brother Hattori come over too?" ”

"This, she persuaded the ministry that there is still something to do, and she may not come."

"It's better if that cursed guy doesn't come," Uncle Maori said, waving his hand as he stared at the paper, "you guys will go outside tomorrow and leave the investigation to me...... And the castle boy. ”

Gao Cheng looked helplessly at Conan, who was silent next to him.

I don't know if Uncle is going to pull himself to help, or just looking for some comfort, anyway, he is confused about the mystery of this picture, and it seems that Conan has no clue.

"Uncle," Gao Cheng still proposed, "do you want to ask someone who is familiar with Kyoto about the situation?" If it is said that it was Genji Hotaru's gang who stole the Buddha statue, it may have something to do with Yoshitsura or Benkei. ”

Uncle Maori frowned, touched his chin and re-studied the drawings: "That makes sense, then we will also go to Kyoto tomorrow to look for it, maybe this is a treasure map...... Haha, I'm so smart! ”
