Chapter 520: Kuailong Temple
"Before the [Xiao Organization] disappeared, the place where it was active frequently was Yanmo City in the city capital, so I guess there might be clues here, but I heard about the latest murder this morning...... It really won't be in vain!" Heiji looks menacing.
In the early hours of yesterday morning, the last victim appeared, so it seems that there is a high probability that the murderer is still in Yanmo City.
"There are nine people in the [Xiao Organization], right?" Conan confirmed at this point.
He didn't know before that this matter was related to the [Xiao Organization], and he hadn't specifically checked it, and being able to blurt out some basic information was already a reflection of his excellent memory and impression of some large eucalyptus hanging eucalyptus.
"That's right, so...... There is a possibility that the incident will happen again." Heiji nodded.
"But the words of the [Akatsuki Organization]...... Back then, it was famous for stealing statues, right? Speaking of which, Uncle Kogoro is also in Yanmo City now, and he was invited by the host of Kuailong Temple, I don't know if it will have anything to do with it." Conan said at this point.
"Kualongji Temple?" Perceive the secondary elements.
"Huh?" Conan looked at him in wonder - you are too strange to perceive, aren't you?
"Ahem, it's nothing...... You go on." Heiji awkwardly changed the subject.
"Uncle Kogoro shouldn't have arrived yet, I'll call and ask ......," Conan said, pulling out his phone.
"Uncle...... You're almost there? Can...... No, no, no, it's not a troublemaker...... It's Brother Heiji who adores you very much...... Yes, yes, he said he was too young and wanted to watch you break the eucalyptus......
Draw: ......
Conan gestured to the success of the negotiation, but Heiji was really not happy.
"You guy......" Heiji looked at Conan gloomily.
But in order to be able to go together, I had to endure it first.
"Kuairyuji Temple...... It seems that the statue of the god was consecrated once every twelve years recently, right? But I haven't heard of anything stolen from them by the Akatsuki Organization." Heiji said in confusion.
He usually still has a "Kuaityu Temple".
The three of them took a taxi to Kuailong Temple, as the name suggests, that is, a temple that worships "Kuailong".
Because of the existence of "divine beasts", the temples of this world are basically worshipping real divine beasts.
There is also a "fast dragon", although it is not a mythical beast, but it is also a Pokémon that has been deified......
In Yanmo City, there are temples of various dragon-type Pokémon and dragon-type mythical beasts, even more than the temples of Phoenix King and Lokia in the Johto area, which is very different from other cities in the Johto area.
"Really, you little devils...... If you want to appreciate the heroism of this detective, you will be satisfied, but don't mess with me!" Kogoro said with a smug face and pretended to be disgusted.
Pingji was helpless at this time, but in order to get clues, he still pinched his nose and admitted it.
"Kuailong Temple......" Eminem looked at the plaque at the door, remembered a certain Kuailong ancestor, and specially asked: [Lao Ka, do you want monks to be in your temple, or do you want a group of yellow flower girls to be in your temple, and change a batch after the age of 24? 】
But even if Eminem teased Lao Ka, now he pretended to be asleep and didn't answer.
And now the old card has no choice, there are only old monks in the temple - that's right, there are monks and goddesses in this world, but the objects of worship are mythical beasts or some special worship Pokémon. ….
When the three of them accompanied Kogoro in, the temple's presiding officer, Master Enkai, greeted Kogoro with a monk who looked capable, and three people dressed as ordinary people who seemed to be pilgrims.
The young monk greeted Kogoro first and said enthusiastically, "Thank you very much, the contemptible person is Long Yuan, who contacted you before...... This is the presiding officer of the temple, Master Yuanhai."
The old monk, who looked kind, made a gesture of putting his hands on the top of his head and picking one of his two index fingers - it is said that he is imitating the dragon's whiskers on the top of the dragon's head, a gesture of respect.
"These three are the benefactors of the temple, and this is Mr. Sakura, who runs an antique shop......
Eminem thinks this Mr. Sakura looks ...... Short and dundun, with very facial features
has the temperament of a female businessman, and at first glance it is a good material for selling antiques.
"This is Mr. Harutaro, the ancient coordinator of the water wake."
Harumaro seems to be a young man with a good posture, and the ancient coordinator is actually a traditional Pokémon performer, paying attention to the division of genres, according to the modern division, they all belong to the coordinator, and some ancient coordinators will also participate in the coordination competition.
"And this is Mr. Taiga, a second-hand bookstore."
Dahe looked like Monk Long Yuan, both tall and mighty, but he wore glasses.
At this time, the presiding master of Yuanhai said, "But it's not so much 'donor', it's more like Lao Gu's kendo fan, and today we are also here to fight in kendo."
"Kendo?" Eminem's three elements are aware at the same time.
"Hahaha, no wonder the master's body is so tough." Kogoro said with a greeting.
"By the way, I heard that in three days, your temple will have a very special statue of a fast dragon with a history of 1,000 years, and it will be consecrated once every 12 years, right? We're looking forward to it." Heiji said specifically at this time.
"If you have a heart, if the dragon god knows, he must be very happy." The old monk of Yuanhai responded without leaking.
[In other words, it is best to read aloud and listen to books at present, @@, install the latest version.] 】
However, Eminem and Conan both found that the face of Monk Long Yuan on the side was already a little unnatural......
After that, in front of the other "guests", the host didn't say much, and only asked Long Yuan to entertain the four of Kogoro first.
And when he came to the hidden place in the back of the temple, Long Yuan also told the truth - in fact, the "Fast Dragon Statue" had been stolen eight years ago!
"What? Stolen? But...... There are still three days to go......" Kogoro was surprised, but he also understood a little why a temple would come to hire him.
"That's right, it would be bad if we didn't find it by then." Long Yuan said worriedly.
"But...... You haven't reported it for eight years?" Heiji wondered.
"Well, the host master said that as long as there is fate, in the future, the 'Kuailong God Statue, will definitely come back.'" Long Yuan said helplessly.
Eminem: ......
Eminem now thinks that the old monk is too suspicious!
[Old card, old card, your idol has been stolen, can you feel it? Eminem asked curiously.
【Hehe......】Lao Ka just let out a disdainful laugh.
It seems to be saying...... It's just human wishful thinking.
"Eight years ago...... It was just before the [Akatsuki Organization] disappeared!" Pingji now feels that this theft is absolutely inseparable from the [Xiao Organization].
"But eight years have passed......" Kogoro was also a little embarrassed, there must be no clues!
"No, in fact, two days ago, the temple received this anonymous letter, which said that as long as you solve this puzzle, you will be able to see the dragon statue again!" Long Yuan took out a piece of paper at this time.
I saw that there were nine dragon-type Pokémon roughly divided into three columns and painted on it.......
