A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 295
Foguang Temple is not big, it can even be said to be very small, there is only one main hall. Conan walked out not long after entering, with a slightly dignified face.

"did not find?"

Seeing Conan's expression, Hattori roughly guessed the result in his heart, otherwise Conan would never have such an expression.

"Could it be that our deduction is wrong, the Buddha statue is not here?"

"Maybe, is it because we thought wrong somewhere."

The two walked out of the temple while communicating, just about to take out the secret code and prepare to study it more carefully.

"jingle bell, jingle bell"

The phone rang suddenly in Hattori's pocket, seeing Xiaolan's phone number displayed on it, Hattori didn't think much, and pressed the answer button casually.

"Xiao Lan, you are looking for Conan, he is by my side, what can you do..."

"He Ye is missing."

Before she finished speaking, Xiaolan got straight to the point and said what she meant, Hattori's expression changed instantly, and she asked anxiously.

"What's going on, isn't He Ye with you?"

Without thinking too much, Xiaolan quickly told Hattori what happened in the mall.

"You wait for us there, we will be there soon."

Before Xiaolan could reply, Hattori hung up the phone in no time, and after seeing the direction, he rushed to it. Although Conan on the side didn't hear Xiaolan's narration on the phone, he saw the urgency of the matter and didn't dare to hesitate. back.

"Hatori, what happened?"

Looking at the gap, Conan asked.

"He Ye is missing."

Hattori didn't need to elaborate on the rest, Conan also understood the seriousness of the matter, his eyes were solemn, and he was secretly worried, it must not be the murderer.

However, the more they were afraid of something, the more something would happen, not to mention Conan's ominous premonition was adding fuel to the plot. The two didn't run for long when the phone rang again.

Hattori's face brightened, he thought that Kazuha had found it, but when he saw the strange number on the phone screen, he looked a little puzzled.

"Your friend is in my hands now. If you want to save her, then come to Yulong Temple with a complete Buddha statue. Remember, it is complete and only you."

"Hey, hey, you bastard..."

"toot toot"

The other party didn't intend to talk to Hattori at all, and hung up the phone directly after speaking. Seeing Hattori cursing, Conan frowned and asked aloud.

"What happened, who called?"

"He Ye was indeed kidnapped. The other party called and said, let me take the Buddha statue to Yulong Temple alone, and specifically asked me to ask for the complete Buddha statue. This and that..."

Hattori gritted his teeth and said, his voice became softer as he spoke, and his face became more enlightened. He turned to look at Conan, who had the same meaning on his face.

"It seems that you have also thought of it. I am afraid that the location indicated by this code should be hiding the Buddha statue, but why did he specifically remind me to complete it? Could it be said that the Buddha statue is still incomplete?"

Hattori frowned bitterly, he couldn't find a Buddha statue at all now, let alone a complete one.

"Let's go back to Foguang Temple to look for it, maybe there is something we missed."

Conan's proposal was approved by Hattori, and they turned around and returned to Foguang Temple. The murderer must have given them time to find the Buddha statue, so he didn't set a specific time.

However, after they walked out of Foguang Temple again, Hattori looked a little depressed, but he still couldn't find it, and he even wanted to dig three feet into the ground.

"Kudou, what are you doing?"

Walking out of the temple, Hattori saw that Conan was standing on a stone tablet not far away and looked at it seriously, and he set out to come to his side and asked aloud.

"Look here, I think the Buddha statue may not be hidden in Foguang Temple."

"The ruins of Yulong Temple."

Seeing the inscription on the stone tablet, Hattori couldn't help but read it out, his face was surprised but also suspicious, and he continued to look down.

At the end, Hattori's face showed a touch of excitement. The Buddha statue must be hidden in the so-called Yulong Temple ruins, because according to the stele, Yulong Temple once had a great relationship with Yoshitsune and Benkei.

"I didn't expect that the thing Genji Hotaru had been looking for was under their noses. It's really ironic, but I still don't understand what he meant by the complete sentence."

The corner of Hattori's mouth showed a hint of sarcasm at first, and then he pursed it again. He wanted to understand the deep meaning of the other party's words, so as to prevent accidents that would cause Kazuha to be injured.

"Hattori, lend me your crystal bead."

Although he didn't understand why Conan made this request, Hattori still took out a crystal bead from his pocket and handed it to Conan, exhorting him.

"Be careful, don't break it, I still hope to use this to recognize Miss Qianheling."

Conan didn't speak, just raised the crystal bead above his head and looked up, as if he wanted to prove something.

"Hey, hey, can you stop playing, what time is it now, I'm still waiting to save He Ye."

Hattori couldn't understand Conan's behavior, his tone was a little impatient, he grabbed the crystal bead and put it back in his arms.

"If I'm not mistaken, this crystal bead probably wasn't dropped by your first love."

"what?"

Hattori didn't quite understand the meaning of Conan's words, he picked it up himself, could it be fake.

"I think this way. One night eight years ago, Minamoto Hotaru and his group secretly sneaked into Sanneng Temple and stole the Medicine Buddha Tathagata. It was on the ground, probably because of the darkness, they couldn't find it immediately."

"After they found out the next day, they sent people to Shanneng Temple to look for it. They happened to see you who picked up the pekoe, that is, the crystal bead. It's a pity that they lost you, and you stayed for a long time. If they don’t come to the capital, they will gradually give up their search.”

"Pharmacist Tathagata Buddha was also hidden by the chiefs. Unexpectedly, one of them saw the newspaper you published to find your first love in the newspaper and found the white hair. This person did not tell others about it, but quietly Hid it up and waited for the right opportunity."

"I don't know how long I waited, but this opportunity finally came. Perhaps for some reason, the leader sent the password to everyone who had the Buddha statue, so he killed all the people who had the password, and wanted to take the medicine master alone. Tathagata Buddha."

Speaking of this, Hattori naturally understood what Conan wanted to express. He still believed in this reasoning in his heart, took out the crystal bead again to observe, and said slowly.

"After what you said, this crystal bead really looks like a pekoe."

Hattori recalled the Buddha statue he saw in the temple just now, the white hair between the eyebrows was indeed similar to the one in his hand.

"jingle bell, jingle bell"

The ringtone of the phone made Hattori's body tense instantly, thinking it was the murderer calling, but when he took it out, it was Xiaolan.

"Hatori, where have you been?"

"I found He Ye, Xiaolan, you go back, don't worry."

Without giving Xiaolan a chance to ask in detail, Hattori cut off the call directly, and it would be easier to reveal his secrets if he talked too much.

"Now that I've figured it out, I'm going to go, Kudo, please don't tell me about it for the time being."

"I see."

Hattori didn't say anything thankful, just keep some things in mind
Seeing Hattori's leaving figure, the worry on Conan's face not only did not dissipate, but intensified. With Hattori's current physical condition, going to Jade Dragon Temple was no different from sending him to death. He had to do something.

But before he could take any action, Hattori, who hadn't left his sight, fell to the ground. Conan was startled, and hurried up to check.

"Hatori, Hattori, how are you doing?"

Under Conan's shout, Hattori slowly opened his eyes, seeing that his eyes were slightly dimmed, Conan secretly thought that something was wrong, and turned his gaze to his wound.

As expected, blood began to ooze. Conan guessed that the running back and forth just now, coupled with too much ups and downs in mood, caused the wound to open again, and it was even more serious.

It's okay in normal times, but now He Ye is still in danger, and there is no time to delay, Conan can't help but frown, his brain is spinning wildly, thinking about feasible solutions.
