Sano held his chin with one hand and looked at Huang Mao going crazy.
…Is this what is called, fearing that brothers will suffer, and even more afraid that brothers will drive Land Rover?
Jealousy changes people beyond recognition.
“Hey, stop driving when you’ve been drinking.”
But after Huang Mao was pulled away by the others and squatted in a corner drawing circles, Sano suddenly stopped the mistress who was about to leave.
“Don’t drive when you drink, and don’t drink when you drive. As law-abiding citizens, we must abide by traffic rules. If you drive improperly, your loved ones will burst into tears.”
…Sano was not surprised at all when his mistress bought a car.
After all, no matter how thin the profits are, the sales will still be high.
The salary of the position is accessible everywhere, plus the commission fee of the armed detective agency.
A car worth tens of millions.
It only takes a month of hard work… After all, it’s not a luxury car.
At most, it’s just a good car.
Furthermore, as the most well-behaved among the delinquents, it’s not unusual for Xiaosan to have the awareness of saving money, maybe if it wasn’t for the fact that he failed to get his driver’s license.
Already bought it?
“Ah, don’t worry, boss, I didn’t drink at all.”
The waiter picked up the remaining half glass of “sake” in his own cup, drank it all in one gulp, and said with a smile: “It’s just mineral water. You can’t just drink it to the point where you can’t find anything. If you really want to do that, what happens?” Things are all over, so I have to leave someone to take care of them… But I can’t take care of them now, and the rest will be left to you, boss. That’s it, bye.”
“Um?”
The mistress quickly retreated, while Sano was stunned for a few seconds, and then looked at the group of people dancing with demons… Damn, he still had to wipe the butt of these guys?
The corner of Sano’s mouth twitched, and he immediately stopped the celebration banquet.
… Before these dogs are drunk to death, let’s send them back to work as soon as possible.
After a busy meal.
It’s getting late.
Sano received a call from Conan…but he didn’t answer it and chose to ignore it.
Because Sano knew why Conan was calling, and he knew how far the situation had developed, and he also knew what he should do.
One, save people.
Second, kill people.
In the former case, just as Sano thought, the murderer targeted Hattori Heiji.
It’s just that the previous two failed attacks seemed to make this guy calm down a lot.
He no longer stared at Hattori Heiji, a tough opponent.
He turned to a roundabout attack and tied up Hattori Heiji’s weakness, Toyama Kazuha.
Although the detailed purpose was not clear, the guy still called Hattori Heiji and threatened him if he didn’t want his childhood sweetheart to die.
Then go to a designated place at a designated time.
Then at the same moment, Sano received a rescue mission.
[Please ensure the survival of Toyama and Ye within the mission time limit. You will receive one hundred strengthening points upon completion. The remaining time of the mission is – 7:59:59].
Moreover.
[Please find and eliminate all members of Yoshitsune-ryu within the mission time limit. If you complete it, you will get one hundred strengthening points. The remaining time of the mission is – 7:59:59].
Yoshitsune flows.
It can be seen at a glance that this is the name of a swordsmanship school.
According to Sano’s subsequent investigation… In fact, just asking around, it turns out that this sect has disappeared, or may not exist at all. It is just a legendary ancient sect, just like those sects in martial arts novels. , is a similar thing, but actually.
You can tell just by looking at the words Yoshitsune-ryu.
This school has various connections with Genjiying.
Perhaps, one of them is the secret remaining heir to this genre.
In this way, the members of Genjiei all hold the chuuni style of the original Yoshitsune and code names, and they can get a reasonable explanation… cough.
The key point now is to find Toyama Kazuha and the members of Yoshitsune-ryu.
Although both tasks are not positioned.
Judging from Sano’s experience, as long as he follows Conan, there will definitely be no problem.
According to the location heard by Hattori Heiji on the phone, Sano arrived first and conducted investigation at the abandoned Gyokuryu Temple located deep in the mountains.
Yuan Shan and Ye’s hands, feet and mouths were tied, and even their eyes were blindfolded.
He was temporarily detained in a tea room.
Wearing clothes similar to ronin in kendo uniforms, wearing masks and holding long swords at their waists, Sano only saw about forty or fifty people so far. These people were scattered throughout Yulong Temple, and some stood guard in the open. Patrolling, some hiding in the dark to observe and follow, and in terms of weapons, in addition to swords, there are also bows and arrows… But leaving aside the settings of sword masters.
They’re just a bunch of punks.
Do you disdain the use of guns, or do you simply not have access to guns?
After wagging his tail, Sano lay quietly on the eaves without moving rashly.
Sano needs to eliminate all members of the Yoshitsune-ryu.
But Sano didn’t know exactly how many people there were and who they were.
The guy who led Baobuqi had arranged for his subordinates to keep an eye on Hattori Heiji.
Or maybe some members are resting elsewhere or something.
Although Sano could also choose to leave the two of them breathing a little while doing it, and then use special means to torture and interrogate.
To ensure that I didn’t miss anything, or that I could make up for anything I missed, but who knows if the fish that slipped through the net would have already received the wind and started to escape when I started doing it. In that case, if I didn’t catch it within the mission time limit, If so, Sano himself would be the loser…in short.
Wait until the time agreed upon by both parties.
In that case, Yoshitsune-ryu should not arrange for people to do unnecessary things, but to ensure nothing goes wrong, he should concentrate all his efforts here. This will also be a good opportunity for Sano to catch them all.
Watching the sun gradually sinking, the sky became darker and darker.
New figures come to the temple from time to time, and there are more and more members of Yoshitsune-ryu.
Sano finally waited for Conan’s arrival.
…But in the eyes of outsiders, this is Hattori Heiji.
That’s right, Conan went to Haibara Ai, who arrived in Kyoto at noon under the leadership of Dr. Agasa, and asked for a temporary enlargement medicine, cough cough cough.
Of course, it’s serious about getting bigger.
Because Hattori Heiji ran out of the hospital before his injuries healed, and he was probably frightened and angry by the news that Toyama Kazuha was kidnapped, which caused him to be so excited that he fainted on the spot. .
So much so that Conan is now isolated and can only go to the appointment alone.
Of course, it’s not like Conan didn’t try to find reinforcements… But Sano didn’t answer the phone. This was an old experience, so he didn’t panic. After sending a text message explaining the situation, he hesitated and chose to call Sannoji. I called him to see if I could get Black Fox’s help.
Unfortunately.
The monk at Sannou Temple told Conan that the two men had withdrawn.
There is no other way, Conan has no choice but to bite the bullet… Damn it, both the Buddha statue and the murderer are obviously just one step away from the final blow.
It just so happened that a tough dish came at this time.
Conan… Oh no, Kudo Shinichi pressed the hat on his head. Although he did not work hard to dress up as Hattori Heiji, there are some things that cannot be succeeded without working hard. Just change He was really not sure whether he could get away with taking on the other person’s clothes and darkening his skin… But judging from the experience at the garden party earlier, the two of them seemed to have similar facial features and figures. It’s quite similar. As long as you’re not a particularly familiar person, you should…
Can you get through it?
The premise is that Yuan Shan and Ye Bie foolishly expose themselves.
“It’s okay, Kazuya.”
After casually inserting the wooden knife that he had brought for a successful disguise and could only be used as a decoration on the ground, Kudo Shinichi faced the other side with his hands still tied, and the masked man was holding his shoulders to prevent him from suddenly struggling to escape. Yuan Shan and Ye asked, and then they discovered as expected.
Just hearing his own greeting, Yuan Shan and Ye’s expressions had a weak abnormal reaction, obviously they had discovered the truth of the disguise.
Fortunately, Toyama Kazuha did not act rashly, but followed Kudo Shinichi’s words and shook his head and said: “I’m fine, Heiji, you have to be careful.”
…emphasized the name again.
Kudo Shinichi quickly took out a small crystal bead from his pocket, diverted his attention and said: “Your real target is actually this, the white hair on the forehead of the Buddha statue that was stolen from Sanno Temple. .”
“Ah.”
for the next five full minutes.
Sano only saw Kudo Shinichi and the leader of Yoshitsune-ryu having a nonsense exchange.
To be precise.
It’s reasoning.
Reason why Hattori Heiji was attacked, why and how the person in the tea house died yesterday, and the identity of the person in front of him.
After his identity was exposed, the masked man who had been listening to Kudo Shinichi’s nonsense also took off his hood without any concealment, and then started talking nonsense… roughly explaining the motive of the murder.
Well… generally speaking.
Putting aside the part that Sano knew originally, it was basically what he thought.
This Yoshitsune-ryu leader was one of the three Sannoji pilgrims who invited Mouri Kogoro to dinner at the tea house yesterday, and he was also a member of Genjiei.
His status seems to be quite high, probably equivalent to being the second in command?
As for Yoshitsune-ryu, as an ancient school founded by a person named Yoshitsune in Yoshitsune, it is naturally closely related to Genjiying. The original “Yoshitsune”, the leader of Genjiying, was the Yoshitsune-ryu. Great Master.
at the same time.
That man is also the abbot of this temple called Yulong Temple.
This Gyokuryuji Temple is actually a dojo used by Yoshitsune-ryu to train disciples.
As for the current leader of Yoshitsune-ryu, he has long been dissatisfied with his position among Genji Ei…but it is not to the point where he needs to rebel. The original leaders of Genji Ei and Yoshitsune-ryu just died of illness.
three months ago.
This also led to the precious Buddha statue of Sannou Temple that was hidden by his own hands.
Lost track.
Only a treasure map remains.
So, this person and the member of Genjiei who died in the tea house last night, the two of them conspired to kill the other members and devour the Buddha statue alone. However, this person really planned to annex the Buddha statue to himself, and wiped out his collaborators as well. The reason was that they needed to The money came to buy the Gyokuryuji Temple, which was about to be demolished without its abbot, in order to leave the last dojo of Yoshitsune-ryu in Kyoto.
Then again.
In order to ensure the integrity of the value of the Buddha statue.
Anyway, it was the crystal bead named Baihao that accidentally came into the hands of Hattori Heiji that would attack him one after another until the exchange at this moment.
… Sano was up there, listening to both sides of you talking nonsense and me talking nonsense.
I don’t know how to complain anymore.
The first is the problem of Kudo Shinichi going to the meeting alone like Erluzi.
Can’t find help?
Aren’t police officers the best helpers?
What?
Are you worried that Yoshitsune-ryu will vote against you?
Then if you come here with a weakling like you, you can definitely guarantee that Yuan Shan and Ye will not die?
Let the police sneak over and give it a try.
Anyway, both sides are betting, so why not bet on the side with greater odds.
Next is the leader of this Yoshitsune-ryu.
…Forget it, a master swordsman can only do petty theft business.
What else to say.
at last.
Can’t these two people go straight to the point, let themselves come out quickly to wrap things up, and then go back to their respective homes? Why don’t they just babble?
Sano scratched his paw awkwardly.
In such a situation, if I suddenly jump out, I always feel uncomfortable.
“Okay, give me the peko quickly!”
Finally, things got down to business.
“Then you have to return the person to me first.”
“Then tell me where the Buddha statue is first!”
“Give it back first!”
“Let’s talk about the Buddha statue first!”
“…”
After pulling each other for a while, Toyama and Ye were handed over to Kudo Shinichi.
It’s just that the Yoshitsune-ryu leader named Saijo doesn’t seem to really intend to make any peaceful deal, but is prepared to do something hard. He directly wants to sneak attack from behind and deal with Toyama Kazuha first.
…So why exactly?
Wouldn’t it be the same to simply kill the hostages from the beginning?
Sano, who really couldn’t understand the situation, watched as Kudo Shinichi stepped forward to resist. However, after the wooden sword in his hand was chopped off by a knife, even his hat was knocked off. His true identity was directly exposed. Saijo, who was shocked and angry, gave an order. Next, all the Yoshitsune-ryu disciples who were hiding in the darkness jumped out immediately, swarmed up and surrounded Toyama and Ye.
Dead end.
Sano straightened his back, it was his turn…
“Ha, being a detective might be good, but you can’t be a samurai at all.”
But at this moment, amidst the taunts, a Yoshitsune-ryu disciple pulled off his hood, it was Hattori Heiji… What kind of great talents are these?
It might be right to sneak in disguised as an enemy.
But taking off the disguise now is of no use!
Shouldn’t we rescue people at critical moments, or simply take hostages?
Again.
A guy who was sent to the hospital has already sneaked in. Why can’t the police sneak in? Even if they can’t sneak in, why not come to the head office?
The police always set things up belatedly after the fact. Is it necessary to be so rigorous?
Sano raised his cat paw to cover his face.
No, I feel like my intelligence has been greatly insulted tonight.
After a few pleasantries, the battle continued.
It seems that the time for Kudo Shinichi’s enlargement medicine to take effect is almost over.
In order to protect his true identity, Hattori Heiji chose to stop and resist all the Yoshitsune-ryu members by himself, allowing Kudo Shinichi to escape successfully…
Well, dozens or hundreds of people.
Just watch Kudo Shinichi run away?
It is said that Kudo Shinichi can run away, why don’t Toyama and Ye follow him?
What should we do to live and die together and go to hell together?
Sano scratched his head frantically, ah, his head was so itchy, he felt like he was about to grow a brain.
Forget it, at least at this critical moment, I should…
“ah!”
But just as Sano straightened his back again, preparing to appear as a hero, two screams brought out two new figures – white kendo uniforms and white professional clothes, one man and one woman, one holding a sword, and the other hooking the thread. .
Although compared with last time, both of them were covered by masks this time.
But Sano still recognized it.
Yuji Suwa, and Maya Tachibana.
… Why did Bai Yi get involved? Is it just these two people? Where are the others?
Sano waited for half a minute, but failed to wait for the other members of Bai Yi to appear.
And just two people in white clothes were obviously not very good when facing this group of kendo masters. In addition to having a slight advantage at the beginning, they quickly retreated, and Hattori and Heiji fell into a trap together. Desperate situation… So these two people jumped out, for what reason?
To die together with Hattori Heiji and be buried together? ?
Sano bared his teeth for a moment… I can’t help it. If I wait any longer, I don’t know what monsters and monsters will appear to disrupt the situation, let alone what stupid things these monsters and monsters will do. Let’s finish the matter quickly and go home.
Sano, who no longer waited, jumped off the roof. After releasing the black cat form, he quickly put the cat demon earrings back into his backpack, and then pulled out the black knife.
It’s time to end this trip to Kyoto.
