Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 691 Foguang Temple and Yulong Temple

Crime scene.

The case concerning Sakura Seizo is nearing its end.

Xia Chuan and Yue Er stood in the corner, not participating much in the investigation.

Without Conan, Kogoro Mouri looked gloomy, feeling like something was missing, and he didn't even have a guess about the culprit.

"What exactly is missing?"

Kogoro Mouri muttered to himself.

Ran had clearly noticed Conan's disappearance and, feeling worried, began searching for him in the teahouse.

"How's it going? Did you find anything?"

Joel asked, "Could it really be related to the distillery? Could it be Gin who did it?"

The two stood in the corner. Xia Chuan frowned, holding the coded message given to him by Abbot Yuan Hai, and did not notice what Joel said.

Just now, Ayanokouji sent someone to Sakura Seizo's house and found another copy of "Yoshitsune's Record". In addition, a name was marked in the book: Ise Saburo.

After confirming that Sakura Seizo was Ise Saburo, six members of the Genji Hotaru had surfaced. However, all six of them were already corpses, almost all of them were dead or wounded, leaving only Yoshitsune and Benkei.

He wasn't entirely without gains during that period.

If I remember correctly, this case was caused by Yoshitsune's death. After his death, he hid the Medicine Buddha and gave the code to his subordinates to find it.

The deaths of these people seem to be related to Benkei's desire to monopolize the Medicine Buddha.

In this way, only Benkei was left.

Unfortunately, the story is too far in the past, and he has forgotten who Benkei is.

Fortunately, the code gave him what he wanted.

This code corresponds to the streets on the Kyoto map. Each image represents a road. Connecting the roads represented by these images together will reveal the character "王" (Wang).
Then there's a strange dot in the code. I didn't know what it represented before, but now it's crystal clear. It represents the dot in the character "王" (king), and when added, it becomes the character "玉" (jade).

Therefore, this point should also represent the place where Yoshitsune hid his treasure.

Intriguingly, from Niina Nittaro's suicide note, he also obtained information related to the character "jade".

Jade Dragon Temple!

However, there is one strange thing.

After questioning Okita Souji, he discovered that the location of this "dot" was Foguang Temple, not Yulong Temple.

Moreover, the location is different from the latitude and longitude, as if they are two different places.

Could it be that the character "玉" (jade) has no connection with Yulong Temple?
Xia Chuan glanced at the time. It was obviously too late to go to Foguang Temple to investigate now. He decided to contact the winery first and confirm the situation before making any further plans.

Now that the police have started an investigation, it's unlikely that Gin was completely unaware of the problems with Genji Hotaru's team.

They must be very anxious to find Benkei.

That said, the murderer must be one of the remaining two people, right?

According to the rule in the Conan world that the culprit is somewhere in the shadows, the culprit is among them.

Previously, it was a choice of three, but now one person has died, leaving two people.

One is Taiga Saijo, a bookstore owner, and the other is Harutaro Mizuo, a Noh actor.

He vaguely remembered that Benkei had subordinates, and that his swordsmanship was quite good.

And since those subordinates always wore Noh actor masks when they appeared, it makes Mizuo Harutaro a strong suspect.

Just as the two suspects were about to leave, they were at the doorway.

"Yor, which of the two do you think is more like a master swordsman?" Xia Chuan asked, squinting his eyes.

Joel paused for a moment, but still shook his head: "I don't know."

"But if you want to know, it couldn't be simpler."

A strange light gleamed in Joel's eyes, and his restless posture said it all.

"Try probing tonight; I'm about to go see Gin too." "What about the case?"

"We've pieced together a few clues. The only thing we haven't confirmed yet is the location where the Buddha statue is hidden, but we'll leave that for now. Shinmei Nittaro's matter is more important. We'll make a plan after Frank brings Shinmei Kaori over tomorrow."

"Maybe we can find it along the way?"

Natsukawa's ambiguous smile piqued Joel's curiosity, but she didn't ask any further questions.

"Are you leaving?"

Ayanokouji was somewhat puzzled when he learned that Joel and the other person were leaving.

In the normal course of the story, shouldn't these two stay here to help with the investigation, just like Kogoro Mouri?

You should know that Instructor Joel is extremely righteous and hates evil.

A doubt arose in his mind, and he said solemnly, "Okay, but if Instructor Joel has any clues about the case, you must tell me immediately."

"No problem, I also hope the case will be solved soon."

That being said, Koyol is no longer the same as before.

There are some things that the police alone can't handle, which is why the Thorn Princess exists.

Therefore, tonight she will test the methods of these two suspects in Xia Chuan's eyes.

Unlike the Shibuya base in Tokyo, the brewery's Kyoto base is not located in a bustling downtown area, but in a remote residential area.

There are few residents nearby; most of the buildings are old and dilapidated.

However, there is a police station.

The outpost is located diagonally opposite the police station, no more than fifty meters away in a straight line.

Such a stronghold arrangement is somewhat like a blind spot.

Having completed his disguise, Xia Chuan arrived at the stronghold with heavy steps, only to see a Porsche 356a parked in the open space in front of the gate, and several other cars parked on the roadside not far away.

Clearly, several people have already arrived.

Stepping into the courtyard, Xia Chuan paused for a moment in front of the Porsche 356a.

Vodka is quite a talent; he found another Porsche with the same model so quickly, which is a testament to his abilities.

At least in this respect, he was well-informed.

This is the epitome of a high-quality worker; no wonder Gin likes him.

"Hey, Tequila, what are you doing? Come in here right now!"

Vodka flung open the window and frowned at Xia Chuan: "Don't touch it. I'm really taking good care of this car. There aren't many Porsche 356as left in Japan that can be repaired. They're all kept by rich people. If you damage it, I won't let you off the hook!"

As he said this, Vodka had a clear look of pride on his face.

It was obvious that he could tell that Xia Chuan was surprised that he had found another Porsche.

That's quite a coincidence.

Xia Chuan sneered inwardly, thinking that he would find another opportunity to blow up Gin's car.

Anyway, three times has passed, Gin should be used to it by now.

Inside the room, Gin sat with his legs crossed on the table, smoking and watching a replay on Nichiuri TV. The screen showed Inspector Ayanokoji Fumimaro, whom he had just met briefly with Natsukawa.

In addition, there's Osaka's Dairyū, and Tokyo's Megure and Hakutori.

Xia Chuan attracted everyone's attention as soon as he entered the room.

Gin and vodka need no introduction; wherever Porsche is, they're there too.

Besides, there were three other people in the living room.

Sniper Cohen, intelligence agent Bourbon, and the charming Baileys.
