The man who died in Osaka was nicknamed Bizen Heishiro, and he was in line with Bizen Heishiro, a retainer in the Yoshitsune Chronicles, and he was a member of a gang of thieves.

Relying on Hattori's relationship with Heiji, Situ Xiu still heard about this from the Otaki Goro Police Department.

In addition, Bizen Heishiro, who also runs an Okonomiyaki shop, was also killed in this shop called Octopus Taira, and the police also learned his secret identity during a search of his home.

Knowing the information of the victim, Situ Xiu and his entourage asked the people near the octopus flat shop about Bizen Heishiro, but they found nothing, there were no witnesses, only that Bizen Heishiro was usually very cold and weird, and basically did not deal with other people.

There was no gain, and Situ Xiu and his party immediately went to the next location, Kyoto, outside Jiro's bar in Higashiyama District, they inquired about the victim, but soon one person stopped them.

"Who are you, and what are you doing with it," the man said.

Situ Xiu looked at the man in front of him, clean and tidy, yes, a very clean person, dressed like a successful person, and there was a squirrel on his shoulder, which was very cute.

"Wow!"

When Yukiko saw the little squirrel, she immediately screamed, and was cute by this little squirrel, saying, "It's so cute! Did you raise it? ”

"You haven't answered my question yet," the man frowned, his tone cold.

"That," Belmore walked out and smiled, "We're Detective Mori Kogoro's assistant, and we've come to Kyoto to investigate serial murders?" ”

"Sleeping Mori Kogoro?" The man squinted.

Belmore winked at Situ Xiu and smiled slightly, not forgetting to come out to investigate the case to use the reputation of Maori Kogoro.

Awesome girl!

Situ Xiu secretly gave a thumbs up, no matter where he goes, he will definitely succeed in using the name of Detective Mori Kogoro.

However, the man's face did not change, he was not cold, and took out a police ID card from the collar of his clothes, and said, "I am the Ayakoji Police Department of the Kyoto Prefectural Police Department.

You detectives better not meddle in things, what Mori Kogoro, this is Kyoto, and it's not the turn of the people in Tokyo to interfere, so you'd better not be too busy. ”

After the Ayakoji Police Department finished speaking, his eyes swept over the four of them and turned to leave.

"Stinky fart, really," Yukiko said unpleasantly.

"What a weird police officer" Conan said.

"It seems that it is not easy for Uncle Maori to leave Tokyo." Situ Xiu scratched his head, this was the first time he had met a policeman who didn't like detectives.

"So what are we going to do?" Belmore asked.

"I'm a little hungry, let's go get something to eat," Arikiko said.

The group of four found an oden shop, ordered some delicacies, and then discussed the next investigation.

Situ Xiu said: "If the gang of thieves is named according to the names and names of the retainers described in the Yijing, then there are a total of eight people, and now five have died, and there are still three still alive......."

"I found a clue that this murder was committed by an insider, because five people were scattered in different locations, and the only one who could know where these people lived was an insider," Conan said.

"In the first homicide, the three victims died at the Nishi-kuni City Shrine at night, and the only people who could be asked there were only companions of the gang of thieves, and the second homicide was in Osaka, some distance from Tokyo, two different places, so it can only be speculated that the gang of thieves knows the location of their companions."

"In addition, in this Kyoto murder incident, although I don't know the information of the victim yet, it is very likely that it is a member of a gang of thieves."

"The analysis is good," Situ Xiu gave a thumbs up, "but it's all nonsense, I'll ask you if you know the clues of the remaining three people, as well as the motives." ”

"........." Conan.

Belmore smiled slightly: "Now we are cats, we can only run after the mouse, and we can't be the first to become a mouse and run to the front." ”

"It's a fitting metaphor, the new doctor," Arikiko said with a smile.

After the group of four finished eating, it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and after leaving the hotel, they went to Jiro's bar and asked people nearby about the victim's information, and one of the passers-by said that the victim often went to a temple, Yamanoji Temple.

Situ Xiu and his entourage immediately went to Sannei Temple, a small temple, where they met the monk Long Yuan, and before he could ask about the victim, the other party heard that they said that they were sent by Maori Kogoro, and received them warmly.

"Uncle Maori's reputation seems to be very useful," Situ Xiu muttered to himself.

"No, if you tell him that Uncle Maori is an assistant sent over, the other party will receive him warmly, in other words, he should have contacted Uncle Maori," Conan said, pinching his chin.

"No, people in Kyoto are looking for Mori Kogoro, who is still a monk, what will happen," Yukiko said.

"Could it be that something was missing?" Belmore said.

"Lost something?" Conan raised his eyebrows, hehe, how can this kind of missing person notice and missing object notice be so familiar.

Sure enough, as Belmode said, Long Yuan took them to a room, told them about the loss of the Buddha statue in Shanneng Temple, and took out an envelope and put it on the coffee table.

"Eight years ago, the statue of the Medicine Buddha enshrined in the temple was stolen, and I wanted to call the police immediately, but I was stopped by the host, who said, if there is fate, maybe one day, we can reunite with this Medicine Buddha Buddha," Long Yuan said.

When the four of them heard this, the expressions on their faces were different, and Belmore couldn't help but say, "You didn't think that he was guarding himself and didn't let you call the police."

"I feel like that too" Yukiko agreed, "If something is stolen and don't call the police, no matter how you think about it, I can't say it, if that Buddha statue is very valuable, will it have been sold?" ”

"This ........" Long Yuan was a little confused, could the abbot be that kind of person?

"Eight years, it's not good, the Buddha statue is likely to change hands," Situ Xiu said.

Conan picked up the envelope on the table and looked at it, and said, "It's been eight years, why did you want to find Uncle Maori recently, is it because of this letter?" ”

"Well, five days ago, I found this letter in the mailbox of the temple, and it seems to be about the Buddha statue," Long Yuan said.

Conan looked at the surface of the envelope with Yamanoji Temple written on it, and said, "It's strange, why is there no stamp on it, and it doesn't say who the sender is." ”

"We don't know," Long Yuan shook his head.

"Look what's inside".

Yukiko took the envelope from Conan's hand, took out the letter inside, there were two notes, and said, "One of them says that as long as you solve the mystery of this painting, you will know where the Buddha statue is." ”

"Painting?" Conan wondered.

Arikiko placed two notes on the table and took the first note aside, with a strange drawing on the note below.

"Is that a painting?" The corners of Kiko's mouth twitched.

On the paper, there is a long staircase, five staircase steps, the top staircase is painted with three pictures, the tengu mask, and the goldfish, and the lower staircase is painted with two golden roosters and golden loaches, and between the second and third floors are four pictures of violet, tengu and Mt. Fuji, and there is a mushroom next to it.

This is the code painting, and there is a photocopy of the Buddha statue of the Medicine Buddha next to it.

"What is this".

The four of them looked at the code and fell into deep thought.

"Everyone, I'll go get you some hot tea, I'm out of company first," Long Yuan said and got up to leave the room.

After a while.

Belmore said: "Is it possible that the person sent it, he often came here, in fact, because of the Buddha statue, in other words, the group of people had a dispute because of the Buddha statue, and someone secretly hid the Buddha statue, but he was afraid of forgetting, so he wrote a password to indicate the location, but he did not expect to be killed by his companions, and the password was also obtained by his companions." ”

"And that companion didn't know the meaning of the code, so he sent it here to ask the people in the temple to investigate, and it happened that there were people in the temple who worshipped Mori Kogoro, so he asked Mori Kogoro to investigate the matter of the Buddha statue."
