Zongman: People in Conan, raising cats and mice

As mentioned before, even in the capital of this country, there are some areas that are completely undeveloped.

The status of this part is even outside the scope of most defined urban areas.

This situation only occurs because the urban area defined by Tokyo is very large.

"That's weird. The location information Sato sent us is definitely here. How come there's nothing here?"

After arriving at this area, Inspector Megure looked around with some confusion.

This area looks very desolate, and normally, it is difficult for anyone to associate it with a big city like Tokyo.

After all, the initial impression of Tokyo's prosperity is already imprinted in people's minds.

Although Tokyo is already quite prosperous, there is no need for too many reminders in this regard.

"Why don't we split up and look for her? If there really is something wrong with Miss Meiwako, it will be troublesome!"

Regardless of whether they were the group of people under Inspector Megure or those who were invited to come and help, the other police officers all dispersed excitedly.

Although in general movies it is easy to be defeated one by one once they are scattered, but who can blame them for the fact that there are so many of them here?

Even after being separated, the overall team is still larger than in a normal movie.

After all, previous movies would only arrange people to act alone because of the plot requirements.

If it were in reality, who would dare to act alone? They would definitely have to act in a group!

What's more, they have already proved that there are indeed some differences in this world, so it is definitely impossible for them to gamble with their lives.

Unfortunately, although they searched the surrounding area very carefully, they did not get any response at all.

It was as if Miwako Sato had suggested this place as their destination, but in reality this was not their destination.

However, all the police officers at the vegetable market believed that Sato Miwako would never deceive them for no reason in this regard.

Either something unexpected really happened, or that guy deceived Sato Miwako!

Half an hour ago——

"Are you sure this place will work?"

Miwako Sato looked at the desolate scene around her in some surprise. Not to mention a village, there was not even any path to be seen.

It doesn't look like there is anyone lurking around here. Who wouldn't find this scene strange?

Most people would not stay in this place for a long time. Let alone staying for a long time, even staying here for a while would feel strange.

Well, before Sato Miwako, some local police forces were mobilized.

They just selected some personnel from the nearby branch police station, and now there are about 20 to 30 of them, and they have become much braver.

Shimada Kazuo did not explain much, but just walked forward with the sword in hand.

Miwako Sato followed quietly behind Kazuo Shimada without stopping his behavior.

The road ahead was still desolate, but the group seemed to have encountered no obstacles at all. The surrounding scene seemed to have no road at all, but they walked past it very easily.

As they were walking, suddenly a soft sound was heard. Sato Miwako looked up and saw a temple not far away.

The temple is not too big, nor is it too gorgeous. You can tell at first glance that it is small and exquisite.

Although the temple is small, it is fully equipped with all the necessary functions.

Or it would be strange if such a temple was not fully armed and had all the functions, right?

After all, normally speaking, there are some gods that don’t have large shrines, so small torii gates that look like models can also serve as their temporary shrines.

Even such a small shrine is actually quite functional and does not affect their responsibilities as gods at all.

So things like shrines and temples are not completely important to them.

As long as you have it, it's enough, there is no need for too many. The main reason for gorgeousness is that sometimes you need to compare with others, so you need to pay attention to your own shrines and the like.

However, these have nothing to do with people in the past. After all, people in the past did not know that gods really existed.

Many times, shrines are built magnificently and huge simply because of their own beliefs.

He was not influenced by any gods at all and just acted according to his own ideas.

"This temple is a little strange!" An old policeman looked around in surprise.

For the police in this area, even if they don't know the surrounding situation, they should have heard something about things with history like temples.

It's okay for ordinary new policemen, maybe they have been there too shortly and have no chance to hear so many things, but for old hands like them it's impossible that they don't know anything at all.

Even if it's just an urban legend, they should have been able to gather some information about it.

"It's really strange. Could it be that you have cleaned up this temple before?"

Miwako Sato nodded, walked into the temple, reached out to the platform where the statue of the god was enshrined, and gently touched the surface of the platform.

There wasn't much dust left, just a few light grains, which obviously might have fallen recently, and the rest had been cleaned.

"No, no!"

Shimada Kazuo turned his head and looked at Sato Miwako with some surprise, and then suddenly noticed Sato Miwako's actions.

He immediately showed a panicked look, "How is it possible that this place has been cleaned before? When we came here before, there was no cleaning at all. At that time, the dust was just like outside!"

Shimada Kazuo walked out quickly, followed by other police officers.

But soon it was discovered that Shimada Kazuo seemed to have seen something and was standing there in a daze as if he had shocked himself.

Randomly also looked over, and then found out——

They had noticed this temple before entering. It did have some historical feel and was one of the more remote types.

Because judging from the outside, although it has not been completely dilapidated, dust has already covered the roof.
