Sanno Temple, everyone gathered in the courtyard outside the meditation room, and Gao Cheng and Conan Hattori also sat next to them.

Hattori whispered, "This uncle is okay, right?" ”

"Who knows," Gao Cheng shook his head, "Let's take a look first." ”

This time, the case is still in the stage of collecting clues from receiving the news to visiting Kyoto to investigate.

First Sakura Masazo was killed in front of him, and Hattori was attacked repeatedly, so the murderer couldn't be allowed to continue to run rampant......

"Anyway, that's the way it is," Uncle Maori's gaze swept over everyone and fell on the dancer Chiga Suzu who was removing her makeup, "As far as I know, Miss Chiga's biological mother used to work as a geisha at a teahouse in Miyagawa Town, and Miss Chiga's biological mother died of illness when she was five years old, and because she was an unwed mother, Miss Chiga was adopted by Ms. Yamakura, the proprietress of the tea house, right?" ”

"Hmm." Qianhe Ling didn't know what the uncle wanted to say, but she looked at it with her adoptive mother and nodded.

"I don't know who Miss Chiga's biological father is, but every month someone anonymously sends money to the teahouse," the uncle said in a deep voice, "but the strange thing is that there has been no more money since three months...... If I'm not mistaken, Miss Chiga's biological father is actually Yoshitsune, the leader of the thief group Genji Hotaru! ”

"What?"

"It's very likely that Yoshitsune was betrayed by his subordinates three months ago and was killed, so the money sent to the teahouse will stop there," Uncle Maori shouted and pointed to Chiga Suzu, "This is your motive!" ”

"Hey, uncle," Hattori couldn't help but interject, "You don't mean that Miss Chiga is the murderer, right?" It's just a guess! The murderer who attacked me was definitely not Miss Chiga, and ......"

Hattori looked at Chiga Suzu: "Mr. Sakura's blood has been tested on that short knife, and the wound is also matched...... Miss Suzu Chiga, who can't handle the murder weapon, how can they be murderers? ”

"What if Miss Chiga has one more accomplice? For example, Benkei? ”

Uncle Maori snorted coldly and put his hands together: "As for who Benqing is...... Officer Ayakoji, it's you! ”

"Huh?!" The crowd's eyes widened.

"I remember that Officer Ayakoji rushed to the teahouse last night immediately after the murder, and he didn't bring the squirrel he had been carrying...... "Uncle Mori affirmed, "When Miss Chiga Suzu went to the teahouse yesterday, she actually secretly brought two things, the short knife and Officer Ayakoji's squirrel, and the squirrel was the key to this incident!"

"Miss Chiga, yesterday you pretended to accompany Mr. Mizuo to the toilet, and then took the opportunity to go to the warehouse to kill Mr. Sakura, and then tied the short knife to the squirrel that had been hidden in the cabinet beforehand, and released it through the basement window, and let it swim downstream along the river, and then Officer Ayakoji picked it up......"

"Please," Hattori interrupted speechlessly, "The murderer is a master of bows and arrows and swordsmanship, but Miss Chiga is still a beginner in bows and arrows who can hurt Yazumi, as for Officer Ayakoji......"

Aya Xiaolu frowned: "How could I be able to do that kind of troublesome thing?!" ”

"Mr. Maori!" Qianhe Suzu's adoptive mother said angrily, "The dancer has to be busy performing and receiving guests every day, how can she have that time to kill people?!" ”

"Uh, this ......"

"Yes, uncle," Conan followed, "Officer Ayakoji's squirrel is so small, it shouldn't be able to move a dagger, right?" ”

Uncle Maori was already having a big head for a while, and when he saw Conan, his forehead jumped: "Don't be verbose!" I'll prove it to you! Officer Ayakoji, can you borrow your squirrel for a while? ”

By the courtyard pool, a ruthless Maori uncle tied a wooden fish hammer with a short knife, almost in the middle of a knife, to the little squirrel.

"Hey, squirrel, jump for me!"

The uncle poked the squirrel standing motionless on the stone: "Bastard, you deliberately ignored me in order to get away with it, right?!" ”

"I can't stand it......"

Gao Cheng collapsed his eyelids and looked at the people who were leaving one after another.

Although the uncle is a little nonsense, there are some places that may not be wrong......

On the surface, it seems that the people who can't handle the murder weapon will not be the murderer, but judging from the handling of the murderer's attack on Hattori last night, there is a bit of a deliberate intention to leave clues, deliberately leaving the murder knife.

Thinking about it this way, Chiga Ling and these people are even more suspicious.

If you don't consider the accomplice, after excluding Chiga Suzu first, it is suspicious that there are Saijo Taiga and Monk Tatsuen, both of whom went to the toilet alone, and if you consider the accomplice, then Mizuo is also suspicious.

Moreover, several people did not have alibi certificates when Hattori was attacked......

In Ponto-cho, behind the teahouse, Takasei took advantage of Hattori and Conan to continue studying the treasure map in the Yamano Temple, and walked alone to the embankment between the Yu River and the Kamogawa River.

The Yu River is a small river below the tea house, and it is also the place where the murderer may dispose of the murder weapon, if not through squirrels, in fact, there are other methods, such as disguising the short knife in a longer bottle and floating downstream with the current.

Even if there is no accomplice, it is completely possible to install a positioning device in the bottle to track, and it is not impossible to recover it in time afterwards, after all, this world is not only Conan's pair of glasses has a tracking function......

But anyone can do this, and the most important thing now is evidence.

Gao Cheng held up his elbows.

Regarding the treasure map of the Buddha statue, he and Xiao Ai studied it for a long time and didn't know why.

"Wow!" Ignoring the couples around him, Gao Cheng's thoughts quickly entered a high-speed state, and the sound of the surrounding space changed and faded, replaced by the whole incident and the details of the treasure map clearly displayed in front of him.

The treasure map is not complicated, the whole is a step like a Daughter's Day doll shelf, the top fifth layer is painted with red cicadas, green tengu and red goldfish, and the fourth layer is yellow chickens and yellow loaches, and there is an ink spot 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......

Ignore the acorns on the outside, connect other patterns of the same color, add ink dots, it looks like a jade character, and then the acorns on the outside seem to be a hint......

A mother and son next to him passed by Gao Cheng, and the child looked at Gao Cheng strangely and said coquettishly to his mother: "Mom, I'm hungry." ”

"Eat some biscuits first to press your stomach, and my mother will cook when she goes back......"

The voice returned to his ears, Gao Cheng withdrew from the world of thinking, stopped the mother and son, and said, "I'm sorry, does the acorn here in Kyoto have any special meaning?" ”

"Acorns?" The woman bit her lip and said, "If you want to talk about acorns, I just think of acorns rolling and rolling, and I really don't know anything else......"

"Acorns rolling, rolling?"

"Huh? Don't you know this nursery rhyme? ”

"Mother," the child said, holding the woman, "hurry back!" ”
