The Split-Actress in Conan's World

"White hair? You mean the glowing hair between the Buddha's eyebrows?" asked Hattori Heiji.

"Yeah." Conan nodded.

"Some Buddha statues use crystal or pearl to represent the white hair."

If he guessed correctly, that was the white hair that was accidentally dropped during transportation when the "Genji Hotaru" group broke into Sannoji Temple 8 years ago and stole the Medicine Buddha statue.

After losing this important part, it would be difficult for the people of "Genji Hotaru" to get the Buddha statue. That's why their leader Yoshitsune temporarily hid the statue and secretly searched for the whereabouts of the white hair.

But he probably didn't expect that he would never find it until he became seriously ill and died.

It was not until recently that Hattori Heiji was interviewed and published in a magazine, showing the crystal bead, that the murderer Benkei noticed it and took the opportunity to attack.

"Is that so..." Hattori Heiji also realized the pros and cons and stopped stubbornly reasoning about his first love.

"So after Yoshitsune passed away, he hid the location of the statue on a piece of paper and gave it to several other members. Benkei wanted to keep it for himself, so he killed everyone else, right?"

As the two were thinking deeply, the taxi soon arrived at their destination - Foguang Temple.

"We're here. This is Foguang Temple."

Conan jumped out of the car and looked at the temple in front of him which was a bit shabby and seemed to be quite old.

The main gate had been demolished, leaving only a dusty threshold. There were no entry restrictions, but it seemed that few people visited.

"Kudo, is the Buddha statue really hidden here?" Hattori Heiji looked around and couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know either..." Conan shook his head, walked out the door and stepped back, looking at the temple as a whole for a while.

When he stepped back for a distance, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a stone tablet on the side of the road.

"This is!?"

Hearing the sound, Hattori Heiji followed out and saw Conan standing in front of the stone tablet with a thoughtful look on his face.

He turned his head and saw the words "Yulong Temple Ruins" clearly written on the stone tablet.

"Gyokuryu Temple... Could it be that the point actually refers to this?" Hattori Heiji understood a little.

He took out his cell phone, looked at the navigation, and found that the current Yulong Temple was on Anma Mountain.

"Let's set off without further ado!" He couldn't help laughing as he saw that everything was about to come to light.

The two called another car and rushed to Kurama Mountain.

After running back and forth like this, the sky soon became dark.

"Gah-"

"Gah-"

A line of ravens flew across the red-gold sunset; their hoarse cries echoed in the valley, outlining a sense of solemnity.

Although Mount Kurama is not a barren mountain, it is not located in the city of Kyoto. Instead, it is in the suburbs, and there are many wild cherry trees growing on the mountainside.

After some effort, the two climbed up the stairs, wiped the sweat from their faces, and saw the wide open door.

Yulong Temple is located on the top of Mount Anma.

This is a temple of considerable size. The entrance area alone is more than twice the size of the main courtyard of Sannoji Temple.

But it is understandable. After all, the land resources in the urban area cannot be compared with those in the suburbs.

Moreover, it is obvious that the Yulong Temple is newly built, without much historical atmosphere and without much heritage.

It was also here that they saw the person they imagined they should see.

"Mr. Saijo, what a coincidence! I wonder what you are doing in Yulong Temple?" Hattori Heiji smiled confidently, pinching the brim of his hat and shouting to the figure in Taoist robes who had just walked out of the lobby.

The figure was none other than the second-hand bookstore owner, Nishijo Taiga, whom he had met not long ago.

Nishijo Taiga seemed surprised to see the two of them, and smiled gently: "It's just a casual visit, let's not talk about me, why did you two kids come here?"

"I'm just following the clues to investigate the case. It just so happens that I have some ideas and I want to share them with Mr. Saijo." Hattori Heiji shook his head and suddenly changed the subject and talked about the case.

"After the death of their leader Yoshitsune, Benkei of the 'Genji Hotaru' had evil thoughts and killed the other members in order to take the statue for himself. However, he did not expect that the cowardly 'Ise Saburo' Mr. Sakura Shozo, in order to avoid the same fate as the others, sent a treasure map with a hidden secret to the stolen Sannoji Temple, hoping to make a big deal out of it. This actually attracted Mr. Mori to investigate."

"As a result, Benkei lost the opportunity to kill Mr. Sakura without anyone noticing, so he had to plan a carefully planned murder. In order to achieve the desired design, he specially chose Pontocho, where there is a river, instead of Gion or Miyagawacho."

"He prepared a glass bottle and a transmitter in advance. After killing Mr. Sakura, he put the murder weapon and the transmitter in the bottle and threw it into the river through the window. After the police inspected it, he found an opportunity to retrieve it."

"That's how you evaded the police, right? Saijo-san... No, should I call you Musashibo Benkei?"

He had no intention of beating around the bush and stated the result of his reasoning directly, trying to reveal the identity of the real murderer Nishijo Taikawa.

Nishijo Taiga rubbed his head in confusion and asked, "How could I be the murderer? Hattori-chan, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, there's no point in pretending." Hattori Heiji sneered, and then said: "When you deliberately conceal your proficiency in Kyudo, you can no longer hide it!"

"When you kneel down, your right foot drags half a step back before your left foot before you sit down. This is called 'half-foot dragging', and it is a habit that only masters who are immersed in Kyudo will develop."

"Also, when you were asked who else was practicing archery, you blurted out the word 'Yamakura'. I was wondering why Ms. Yamakura would practice archery, but thanks to that confused uncle, I heard the same words again from Ms. Chika Ling, who was just starting to learn archery..."

"You didn't mean 'Yamakura', but a term that only professional archers know, 'Yamakura'!"

"What you wanted to say was 'Ms. Chika Suzu's arrow pillow seems to be injured', probably to mislead our reasoning, right? But halfway through your speech, you realized that this conflicted with your claim that you didn't know archery, so you immediately stopped talking!"

Hattori Heiji did not give Saijo Taikawa any room to argue and listed the evidence.

"And I almost understand why you targeted me in the first place..."

He took out the small silk bag containing the white hair from his pocket, tossed it in his hand, and said playfully: "You saw my interview and wanted to get this thing, right?"

"This is the white hair of the Buddha statue that you stole. Without this, you can't sell the statue, right?"
