I was in Conan, and after picking up Xiao Ai, I was chased by Hongzi.

"I am Long Yuan who called you before." As he spoke, several people communicating in the temple also came closer.

Long Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the bald abbot beside him, "Let me introduce you. This is Yuan Hai, the abbot of this temple, and the others are the benefactors of this temple."

After his introduction, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses and a mustache named Sakura Shozo appeared in front of him.

The thin man behind Sakura Masazo is named Mizuo Harutaro.

Finally, there is Saijo Taiga who runs a used bookstore. It is worth mentioning that he looks exactly like Hara Jiaki in Countdown to Heaven.

He looked harmless, resembling a murderer.

"We say we are donors, but in fact we are all fellow swordsmen." Abbot Yuanhai said with a smile.

Otoi Hiroshi couldn't help but glance at the abbot.

Kind and kind.

But as the saying goes, anyone who squints is a monster.

Presumably this abbot is also a person with a story.

"Ah~ So that's it. It turns out that you are all practicing kendo. No wonder the abbot's body is so strong." Mouri Kogoro said unexpectedly.

After that, he changed the topic and asked again: "Speaking of which, I heard that your temple seems to have a Buddha statue that is consecrated only once every 12 years?"

"Yes," Abbot Yuanhai nodded, "That is the main Buddha of this temple, Medicine Master Tathagata."

"Will it be opened to the public for worship the day after tomorrow?" Mao Lilan asked curiously, "We are also here to enjoy it this time."

"The donor is really thoughtful. I think Medicine Master Tathagata will also be very happy."

However, Otoi Hiroshi and Conan noticed from the side that when they were talking about Medicine Buddha, the expressions of the donors standing next to them seemed a little strange.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the place of worship, they received surprising news.

"What did you say?!" Mouri Kogoro shouted in surprise, "The main Buddha was stolen?"

"Yes," Long Yuan said with a regretful expression on his face, "That was already eight years ago."

After saying that, he opened the door of the cabinet where the Buddha statue was enshrined.

"The one on the left is the Sunlight Bodhisattva, and the one on the right is the Moonlight Bodhisattva. The Medicine Buddha Tathagata originally placed in the middle was stolen."

Closing the cabinet door, he continued: "I originally advocated calling the police immediately, but the abbot stopped me. He said that if we are destined, maybe one day we can meet the Medicine Master Tathagata again..."

"It's really reasonable." Mouri Kogoro rolled his eyes helplessly.

"Should I say it's the Buddhist tradition, or the profoundness of Buddhism..." Hiroshi Otoi also smiled.

However, it seems that this abbot is an interesting person.

"Just like that, 8 years passed quickly. Five days ago, I found this letter in the mailbox of the temple." Ryū Yuan invited several people to sit down, then took out the envelope and handed it to Mouri Kogoro.

Mouri Kogoro took the envelope and looked at it suspiciously, "There is no stamp on it, and there is no write on who the sender is."

"Why don't you take a look at the contents first, uncle." Otoi Hiroshi prompted.

Mouri Kogoro glanced at him, opened the envelope, and saw the words on the first page.

"As long as we solve the mystery of this painting, we will know the location of the Buddha statue."

However, after turning to the second page, the paintings that looked like children's scribblings made people a little confused.

"What is this painting?!"

"The fifth layer on the top is painted with cicadas, tengu and goldfish, right?" Conan said while climbing on the table.

Mao Lilan took a look and asked doubtfully: "As for the fourth layer, is it a chicken and a loach?"

Suzuki Sonoko looked aside and said with disdain: "The loach is painted in gold, it makes me sick when I see it..."

"And what does this ',' mean?" Mao Lilan murmured.

"It's probably just a stain." Suzuki Sonoko spread her hands and said casually.

"Between the second and third floors are Violet, Tengu and Mount Fuji." Mao Lilan continued.

Conan stretched out his finger, "But there is an acorn next to it."

Mao Lilan raised his head and glanced at Mao Li Kogoro, who was meditating, and asked: "Dad, can you find it before the day after tomorrow?"

"You don't have to worry," Mouri Kogoro was sweating profusely, but he still said stubbornly: "Your father will definitely be able to solve this kind of puzzle!"

Suzuki Sonoko turned to look at Otoi Hiroshi, who had been silent, "Do you have any ideas?"

Otoi Hiroshi pinched his chin and shook his head, "I feel like this is a word, but I don't have a clue yet."

He seemed to remember that it was the word "jade", but he couldn't remember the specific idea of ​​solving the puzzle.

"That's just right," Suzuki Sonoko pointed at Mouri Kogoro, and then looked at the other three people, "leaving the matter of finding Buddha statues to the experts, let me see, how about we visit Kyoto?"

"Ah, just right, just right," Mouri Kogoro raised his head and said disgustedly: "You guys will only get in the way here."

Hearing what he said, Mao Lilan smiled and said to Sonoko: "Actually, I had a phone call with Kazuye before coming here. She said she could take a few of us to visit Kyoto tomorrow. However, she convinced Mr. Bu that something seemed to be wrong and he couldn't come over. .”

"It doesn't matter if a man who already has a girlfriend doesn't come," Suzuki Sonoko said casually.

Mao Lilan smiled helplessly, "You already have a fiancé, so you still care about this."

"Otoi-kun and Conan will also go tomorrow, right?" Mao Lilan turned to look at the two of them.

"Ah," Conan came to his senses, "We won't go there tomorrow. My brother Otoi and I have made an appointment to go fishing at the river with the children nearby."

Otoi Hiroshi turned his head silently and glared at him.

This guy has been a little distracted lately and doesn't discuss anything with him anymore.

"Ah, that's good, but I have to trouble Otoi-kun to take good care of Conan." Mao Lilan blinked.

"Yeah, no problem."

The next day, Gojo Bridge

Otoi Hiroshi leaned casually on the guardrail and sighed: "Tell me, what are you going to do if you call me out?"

Conan said in a deep voice: "It must have been Genji Hotaru who stole the Buddha statue from Sannoji Temple, but who sent that picture and for what purpose, and that picture is the same as before in Tokyo and Aren’t you curious about the connection between the five murder cases in Osaka and Kyoto?”

"I'm not curious. I'm not a detective. I don't have that strong curiosity." Hiroshi Otoi took out a cigarette and lit it.

"It would be better to smoke less." Conan took the picture and compared it with the nearby scenery. "I didn't see anything related to that picture."

"Oh, Holmes once said to Watson that smoking is sometimes very important." Hiroshi Otoi curled his lips.

Conan rolled his eyes and defended: "For Holmes, the pipe is just like his magnifying glass, chemical test tubes and "Footprints and Deductive Reasoning Evidence", it is also a detective tool for him. He likes to go and explore under the shroud of smoke. Analyze and reason about complicated and confusing cases.”

Then he pointed a finger at Otoi Hiroshi, "And you're just a smoker, right?"

"Compared to someone, my smoking addiction is nothing." Hiroshi Otoi turned around, put his arms on the guardrail, and looked at the lake as blue as the sky.

"Someone? Who?" Conan tilted his head.

"Someone you don't want to meet."
