The Jade Dragon Temple is at the top of the mountain, and it takes a lot of time to climb up.

Officer Shiratori and Officer Ayakoji led a group of men to climb to the top of the mountain, and Uncle Maori and Ran were among them.

The stairs were lined with dense woods on both sides, and it was already dark, and the surroundings looked gloomy.

However, they also met several men dressed in samurai uniforms, wearing masks, with long knives hanging from their waists, and torches in their hands, as if they were guarding the main road.

As soon as these people saw their group of policemen, they scattered as if to ventilate the news, while others ran towards the woods, and soon disappeared.

Obviously, they can't catch up, and their main purpose now is to rush to the Jade Dragon Temple on the top of the mountain first, so Officer Shiratori didn't let his subordinates move separately, but just urged everyone to speed up.

Uncle Maori took a breathless step, then noticed that his daughter was stunned, looking into the woods.

"Shinichi..."

"Huh?" Uncle Maori was stunned for a moment, and looked down, but only vaguely noticed a figure in a samurai suit disappearing into the forest.

Xiaolan was slightly distracted.

The man was dressed in a samurai suit and wore a mask, but the hairstyle that showed a little hair resembled that of Shinichi. Of course, she didn't actually see it very clearly, but she just had a faint feeling that made her think it was Shinichi.

Subconsciously took a step towards that side, but Xiaolan found that her shoelaces had fallen apart without knowing when.

Immediately afterward, her arm was grabbed.

"Are you mistaken?" Uncle Maori was a little unhappy, "How could that stinky boy be in such a place?" Now I don't know where I'm going to be alive! ”

"Daddy!"

Xiaolan shouted angrily, but she also felt that what her father said made sense. She didn't see it clearly at all, probably just because she wanted to get a new one and read it wrong...

Besides, how could Shinichi dress like that...

Thinking like this, Officer Shiratori and the others in front didn't seem to notice that they were left behind and didn't wait for them, Xiaolan hurriedly followed her father and rushed to the front.

At the same time, Heiji Hattori, Kazuha, and Conan put the sleeping Saijo and several of his apprentices together, and then began to search the temple.

Before leaving, Kaedehara told them that the Buddha statue must be here.

Soon, after turning around, Conan immediately realized that the architecture of this temple was completely jade-shaped, and at the point there happened to be a bell tower.

The jade word plus a treasure cover is the treasure word.

Finding a ladder to climb to the top, and then uncovering the wooden planks that served as the ceiling, Hattori Heiji saw the Buddha statue without a white hair between his eyebrows.

At this moment, there was also movement at the temple gate.

If nothing else, the police arrived.

"That's right, Kazuha," remembering Kudo's whisper to himself and another Kudo before leaving, Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha, "Don't tell anyone else about Kudo's appearance, not even Xiaolan." ”

"Huh? Why? ”

"They won't see each other anyway. Kudo also has very important matters to deal with that need to be kept secret..."

Besides, that Kudo doesn't have that kind of idea about Xiaolan, and it will only make it more troublesome when they meet...

"And," added Conan, "that man may not be the new brother!" ”

"Huh!?" And Ye was even more confused.

"Because Shinichi isn't that great," Conan explained with some heartache, "so I guess maybe the disguised thief Kidd is pretending!" ”

Kazuha was a little incomprehensible, but after all, it was something that Pingji told her, and she still agreed.

Soon, the two waves will merge.

Heiji Hattori takes Officer Shiratori to fetch the Buddha statue, and Kazuha takes Officer Ayakoji to arrest the sleeping Saijo Taiga.

And so it's all over...

Conan thought to himself, breathing a sigh of relief, and then noticed that Xiaolan had walked to his side.

"Conan." Xiaolan shouted affectionately, "Are you okay?" ”

"No, it's okay, Sister Xiaolan..."

"That's good, really, I'm worried to death, next time I won't be allowed to run around like this..."

"Uh-huh!"

"By the way," Ran asked, "what about Sora?" Isn't he with you? ”

……

The other side.

Taking out the same mobile phone from the package that was hidden in the woods and holding his clothes as an elementary school student, Kaedehara took a look and noticed that there were several missed calls.

It's all from Xiaolan.

Probably because I'm worried...

It's just that at this time, he is still Kudo Shinichi, and he may start to transform at any time, and the button-type voice changer also asked Conan to help re-record Hattori's voice, so it is not convenient for him to return to Xiaolan's phone now, so he has to think about explaining it after he goes back.

When the time comes, I will say that I will go out with Gray Yuan, forget the time, and I didn't hear the phone...

Speaking of which, when he came down before, he seemed to notice that Uncle Maori and Xiaolan were also among the policemen.

At that time, because the effect of the medicine was about to expire, his heart began to ache sharply for the first time, and he could not concentrate. However, he is wearing the disguise that Hattori Heiji replaced, so he shouldn't be noticed...

Thinking like this, Kaedehara dialed Ashbara's phone, and then somewhat surprised to learn that she and the doctor were in an inconspicuous car down the hill at the moment.

Following the path that Gray Yuan was pointing to, Kaedehara quickly arrived.

"The Doctor's rented car?" Pulling open the door and sitting in the back seat, Kaedehara asked Gray Plains.

"Well," Ash Hara, who was also sitting in the back seat, watched Kaedehara sit next to him, "and after I found out that dark-skinned guy had slipped away, I asked the doctor to rent a car and rush over." ”

"Thanks, but I'm fine alone..."

"I'm just thinking about getting the research data as soon as possible," Gray Yuan said, his eyes fixed on Kaedehara's face now, "Luckily, you haven't changed back yet..."

From the very beginning, Gray Yuan has been staring at himself unabashedly... Speaking of which, Gray Yuan said before that he wanted to see what he would look like after recovering his body...

Kaede Yuan thought to himself, and suddenly felt that the seat cushion of this car was not very comfortable, "What about the doctor?" ”

"The Doctor went to help watch the wind, after all, you could change back at any time. It wouldn't be nice if someone found out. ”

Wangfeng's words have gone too far, and I didn't even notice where the doctor was... Maybe it's because you're not in a good state right now?

Continuing to complain in his heart, Kaedehara felt his heart beat violently again, making him frown.

Time is running out...

"Okay, don't waste time," Ash Yuan also noticed Kaedehara's appearance, "I still need to study the data, there are not many opportunities like this..."

As she spoke, Gray Hara took out a metal box from her bag, which contained the blood-drawing suit she had originally prepared for herself.

Kaedehara knew what was inside, and sat up slightly straighter, ready to provide samples according to the old rules, but then he saw Gray Yuan Ai lean over slightly and poke his fingers over.

He could react and avoid it, but he didn't move.

Then, Gray Hara's fingers pressed against his face, just like the last time she woke up from a dream.

“……”

"Hmm, the body temperature is very high, you're about to change back..."Gray Yuan Ai moved his finger, and for the first time, he looked away at Kaedehara, and then opened the small box.

“… Is this how to measure body temperature? ”

"yes." Gray Yuan replied, "I'm really sorry, I forgot to bring a thermometer, so I had to be wronged by the big detective, what, do you mind?" ”

"Not really..."

Kaedehara replied and quickly completed the operation of providing research samples, "But then again, looking at you from this perspective, it feels a little different..."

He paused in the middle of his sentence.

Ash Yuan sat closer, tilting his head sideways to look at his face, staring into his eyes.

It's close...

In the confined space, he could even faintly feel the air exhaled by Gray Plains touching his face, causing his heart to start beating violently.

Faster and faster...

Pain.

The pain was sharp and abrupt from the heart and then quickly spread throughout the body.

The time is coming.

Just now, his heart was beating uncontrollably, and it seemed that he was about to turn back into a schoolboy just because the effects of the medicine were about to end.

Just like last time, Kaedehara only felt as if his bones were being burned, and his right hand couldn't help but clutch his chest.

Grayplain, who also realized that the time was up, sat a little further away so that he could observe the whole situation and help in case it appeared.

"Kudo?" And even though he knew that it was actually a normal situation now, Gray Yuan Wai couldn't help but shout worriedly.

But Kaedehara has no way to respond for the time being.

His mind then went blank for a moment, or for a long time, and by the time he regained consciousness, he had returned to his schoolboy appearance.

The whole person shrank in the "borrowed" samurai suit, Kaedehara reached out, looked at it in a daze, and then turned his head to look at Gray Yuan.

"Are you alright, Kudo?"

"It's fine."

……

This is the end of the trip to Kyoto.

According to Hattori Heiji's idea, they secretly put the Buddha statue back in Sannoji Temple, hoping to surprise the abbot and Ryuen.

It's just that although the idea is good, the proud Maori uncle exposes the truth in advance in his boasting.

Of course, it doesn't really matter. When the matter is over, they are also going back to Yoneka, and on the platform, Hattori Heiji, Kazuba, Officer Ayakoji, and Chiga Rei are all here to see them off on their return journey.

"Alright, it's Ayumi's turn next."

Mitsuhiko carefully handed the squirrel in his hand to Ayumi, and Officer Ayakoji kindly asked the elementary school students to get to know his pet.

"Hmm!" Ayumi also took the squirrel carefully, a little lovely, "You're so cute!" ”

Then she rubbed her face against the squirrel's head, "I'll take it back!" ”

"Absolutely not!" Officer Ayakoji walked over, "It's my best friend. ”

"Huh? Say, officer, you don't have any human friends? ”

"Uh..."

Officer Ayakoji was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Uncle Maori next to him apologized to him and Chiga Ling at this time, and helped him out: "That... I'm really embarrassed to accuse them of being murderers. ”

"Please don't say that," said Miss Chika, "in fact, I already knew who my father was, and I took the initiative to tell him not to send me any more money. ”

Everyone looked at Miss Chiga in amazement.

"Who are you, your father?" Uncle Maori asked.

"It's a secret."

Having said that, Miss Chiga Ling clasped her hands together. And this moment it reminded people of the old abbot of Yamanoji Temple, which made Uncle Maori, Officer Shiratori, and Officer Ayakoji almost break their jaws.

Kazuha couldn't help but laugh softly.

However, then she noticed that Xiaolan was not in a very good mood, and seemed to be pretending to be inadvertently staring at the child...

Thinking that he listened to Hattori's words and didn't tell Koran Kudo Shinichi what might have happened, Kazuha felt a little guilty, but then he was attracted by the noise of the children.

"You're the only one who hasn't sung, Conan!" Genta said, "We've all sung it already!" ”

Kaedehara couldn't help but stand a little farther away, ready to plug his ears at any moment.

Gray Plains mourning too.

"Really! Why do you suddenly want to sing again! Conan was reluctant.

"Singing?" As if thinking of something, Xiaolan bent over and looked at Ayumi and the others kindly, "Have you sung before?" ”

"yes, Ball Song!"

"Isn't that all good?" Xiaolan glanced at Kaedehara without a trace, and Kaedehara looked at Conan with a bad heart, but Conan didn't seem to realize what was happening at all.

Instead, Gray Yuan Wai stood quietly closer to himself.

"Not really! Kaedehara sings ugly! ”

"Yes, yes!"

Although they wanted to save some face for their partners, the elementary school students really didn't want their spirits to be destroyed, so they had to tell the truth.

Xiao Lan glanced thoughtfully at Kaede Yuan again.

"Conan!" Kaedehara hurriedly shouted, secretly glancing at Conan, "Quick, it's your turn to sing!" ”

"Huh? Don't! ”

The elementary school students chattered and quarreled for a while, Conan looked like he would rather die, and he couldn't help but say, "If you want to sing the ball song, I will sing it too..."

"Huh?" Hattori Heiji looked at Kazuha in surprise.

"Why don't you look in disbelief, stupid Pingji! I've been singing for a long time..."Kazuha then sang a paragraph, "Marutake Yiji, Oshigoike, Bride Rokkaku...

"It's not a bride, it's a sister, stupid!"

Hattori Heiji interrupted, and then froze for a moment.

What Kaedehara had told him before came back to his mind again, "By the way, you said you would have known a long time ago... Where did you learn this song? ”

"I learned it at a relative's house in Kyoto," Kazuha said, "It seems to be the third grade of elementary school, and I learned it from them when I went to play with you." ”

"With me?"

"Don't you remember? That's right, when I was preparing, you were already impatient, so you said to go to Sannoji Temple to play, and then ran out.

At that time, my relatives helped me put on a kimono, tied my hair in a bun, and even put on a little makeup! Later, I went to Sanno Temple to look for you, but I couldn't find it anywhere, so I slapped the ball a few times and went back..."

"I really want you to see what it was like back then," Kazuha continued, with a yearning expression on his face, "The cherry blossoms are falling all around me, and the scenery is really beautiful..."

Hattori Heiji was slightly distracted.

The children's voices seemed to be far away, and all that remained in his mind was the song he had heard eight years ago.

When he came back to his senses, Kazuha had just finished the ball song she sang to the children.

"The two of us have finally met," Hattori muttered.

When Kazuha heard this, he thought that Hattori Heiji had found the first love he had been looking for, so he wanted to know from him, and the two quarreled again.

But after a while, the train entered the station, and everyone got on the train in turn.

Kaedehara and Gray Plains are a little behind.

"So, she's starting to doubt you?" Gray Plains said in a low voice.

"yes..."

Kaede Yuan looked at Conan, who was being led by Xiaolan in front of him and talking to Xiaolan happily, and couldn't help but have a headache even more.
