A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 298 At the Critical Moment, Superman Didn't Come

"Of course I found the Buddha statue, but I'm more curious about the truth of the matter. Why did you kill your companions? Is it because of greed?"

Although Conan spoke righteously, his eyes were secretly observing the surrounding environment to see if there was anything that could be used to help him.

"Hahaha, companion?"

Xitiao Dahe seemed to be extremely disdainful of this word, and his tone was full of sarcasm.

"What kind of companions, they just happened to join together to satisfy their own desires."

"Before that old man died, he really thought that our gang of thieves were advancing and retreating together, united as one, but they didn't know that everyone was using each other."

Conan guessed that the old man in the mouth of Saijo Taiga should be Genji Hotaru's leader Yoshitsune, but he didn't expect to be dead, but he didn't know if it was Saijo Taihe who killed him too.

"Don't think too much, the old man died of illness. This Medicine Buddha Tathagata was stolen by all of us with joint efforts, but no one except the old man knows where it is hidden."

Saijo Taihe probably saw Conan's conjecture and explained.

"Before he died, he gave each of us a code, which is the one you saw, and said that it contains all the precious treasures we have stolen over the years, and whoever finds it first will be the next leader."

"It's ridiculous. He didn't see that our gang's conflict had already reached its peak, so after his death, each of us fought openly and secretly for this pile of jewels, and there were endless means. In the end, Sakura Masao and I reached a consensus and joined hands to send everyone to hell .”

"Then you killed Sakura Masao in the end, and it really was for the sole purpose of stealing the property."

When Conan saw that there was nothing unusual around him, under the cover of darkness, he quietly sent a distress message to Noah on his mobile phone, asking him to help call the police, while continuing to delay time.

"His death was entirely because of himself. He even secretly contacted the antique dealer behind my back, wanting to kill me and keep it alone. How could I just sit and wait for death?"

Speaking of Sakura Shozo, Saijo Taihe's face was full of coldness, and he didn't even look at how much he weighed.

"You Genji Hotaru stole a lot of precious items, why did you take such a big risk and force me to hand over the pekoe?"

Conan was really puzzled by this point. Since the other party knew Hattori's name, he must know that his father is the boss of the Osaka Metropolitan Police Department. Isn't he afraid of being exposed afterwards?

"Of course it's because of money. Someone paid a sky-high price to buy this Buddha statue, and the conditions must be complete. I had already given up on it, but you delivered it yourself."

A look of understanding flashed across Conan's face. What happened was similar to what he thought, and when he wanted to find excuses to delay time, Saijo Taihe stopped him impatiently.

"That's enough. I don't have time to talk nonsense with you. What about the Buddha statue? Hurry up and hand it over, or your little girlfriend will die."

Taiga Saijo shouted sharply, and at the same time put the samurai sword in his hand on Kazuha's neck, as if he was about to strike if he disagreed.

"How can I trust you? What if you want to tear up the ticket after I give it to you?"

"You have no choice."

"I have a way to get the best of both worlds, would you like to hear it?"

A tangled look flashed across Xitiao Dahe's face, but he thought about his hole cards and said in a deep voice.

"Go ahead."

"I can give you the pekoe first, and after you release Heye, I will give you the Buddha statue."

Taiga Saijo hesitated, thinking deeply about the feasibility of this method, looked at Conan indifferently, and after seeing his calm appearance, made up his mind.

"Throw it over."

Conan didn't hesitate, and threw the pekoe across the air. After Saijo Taiga picked it up and checked it, he couldn't help but smile, and turned his head and said to Kazuba.

"you can go now."

He Ye staggered towards Conan's position, and when he came to Conan, He Ye instantly realized that this was not the Heiji she was familiar with. Although they looked the same, there was always an indescribable contradiction.

"He Ye, listen to my instructions later, let's flee together."

Conan said while reaching out to help Heye untie the hemp rope from his hand, but Heye suddenly became emotional, and kept making noises, wanting to express but couldn't speak.

"Sorry, I forgot to remove the tape for you."

He just took off the tape, before he could speak to Ye, Xitiao Taihe's voice came first.

"Where's my Buddha statue?"

"run!"

Conan ignored Saitiao Taihe, but pulled He Ye up and rushed outside, and He Ye said hurriedly.

"He still has men!"

As soon as the words fell, four masked warriors suddenly appeared outside the door, blocking Conan's way of leaving.

Conan's face suddenly changed, he miscalculated, he didn't expect that the other party had men, turned his head to look at Xi Tiao Dahe, his face was even more embarrassing, and there were four similar warriors beside him.

"Hattori Heiji, it's useless to be clever, in order to make you cooperate obediently, it's time to teach you a profound lesson, come on!"

Following Xijo Taihe's order, all the samurai rushed up, raised their knives and went straight to Conan and the two, showing no mercy.

In desperation, Conan could only pull He Ye up to dodge to the side, but He Ye's hands were bound, making it inconvenient for him to move, and he was soon overtaken by the leading warrior.

Seeing the other party slashing with a knife, Conan stood in front of He Ye without fear, closed his eyes and waited for the approach of death. For some reason, he did not feel fear.

"Pingji!"

He Ye who was behind couldn't help closing her eyes and shouting, she was afraid that she would never see the figure she missed again.

"I am here."

A familiar voice suddenly rang in the ears of the two, and the two who didn't feel any pain slowly opened their eyes, and the figure that appeared in front of them surprised them.

"Pingji, woo woo woo..."

He and Ye Fei threw themselves into Hattori's arms, just now she really thought that she would never see each other again, and she burst into tears.

"Okay, okay, don't cry, I'm here."

Hattori comforted softly, he arrived shortly after Conan entered the temple, so he saw the patrolling samurai outside the door.

So Smear stepped forward, quietly attacked and knocked one out, changed into the other's clothes, and finally appeared in front of the two of them like a savior.

"Do you think I'm handsome?"

"Handsome sister, what should I do now."

Conan came back to his senses and stared at Hattori speechlessly. It's weird at this time. Don't you know to call the police for help?
"What are you still doing, catch them for me."

When Hattori appeared, Saijo Taihe and his subordinates were immediately stunned by the two identical people in front of them. However, the leader is the leader after all, and he reacted quickly. It doesn't matter who is real and who is not, just catch them all.

"Kudou, take Kazuha and go outside, I'll block them."

Picking up the samurai sword in his hand, Hattori's eyes were sharp and full of fighting spirit, he gave a soft drink, and took the oncoming attack.

"He Ye, let's go, it will only make Fu part of his heart here."

Seeing that Hattori could barely hold on, Conan didn't dare to delay, he greeted Heye and moved towards the door, as long as they reached the door, they would have a certain amount of initiative.

It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Before the two of them reached the gate of the temple, Hattori gradually began to show a retreating posture.

"Damn! I can't use my strength."

Feeling the pain from the wound on his body, Hattori couldn't help cursing in a low voice. Every time he swung the knife, he would consume a huge amount of energy, and I'm afraid he won't last long.
