Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 711 Gathering at Jade Dragon Temple

The former site of Yulong Temple.

The helicopter slowly descended and landed in the huge empty space in the front yard.

Conan and his friends got off the plane and were startled when they saw the pitted holes on the ground.

Still too late?

"These excavation marks are at most from one day ago."

Iori Muga squatted down, picked up a clod of soil, smelled it, frowned, and continued, "Could it be that they've already gotten there first what you're looking for?"

"Have you considered the possibility that these people might be pursuing both goals simultaneously?"

Ah this
Conan and Heiji Hattori's lips twitched; they seemed to have indeed not considered this point.

Since Gin knows about Gyokuryuji Temple, he certainly won't let it go. Kidnapping only Saijo Taiga isn't safe enough; a two-pronged approach is the best option.

"No, there is another possibility."

Hattori Heiji suddenly remembered that Kazuha had been sent to the prefectural police headquarters: "Could it be those mysterious people? They're also looking for that thing, aren't they?"

As he spoke, he suddenly paused for a moment.

"Hey, Kudo, we can't get in touch with Natsukawa-nii. Do you think what happened tonight might be related to him?"

"Well!!?"

Conan was startled!
Yes, we couldn't get in touch with Xia Chuan all night, and the signs of the soil being disturbed suggest it hasn't been long.

Of course, this must not be said out loud.

Moreover, reasoning requires proof to be confirmed.

The helicopter dropped them off and then left.

Only Iori Muga stayed with them.

Without Iori present, many things become difficult for the two of them to communicate.

“Mr. Iori, why didn’t you go back with them? They’ve already been delivered.”

“The young lady asked me to protect your safety for the time being. Besides, this is Kyoto. If the son of the Osaka Prefectural Police Chief dies here, it will be very troublesome.”

"Hehe. That's a very harsh thing to say."

Iori Muko, with her expressionless face, didn't win the favor of the two high school detectives; instead, she started chirping behind their backs.

Use Morse code.

"Hey, I can understand it."

Iori Muga remained expressionless, uttered those words, and walked towards the front hall.

Police have not yet begun investigating Yulong Temple. The scene is well preserved, and signs of fighting or dragging can be seen in many places.

The kitchen, in particular, showed very obvious signs of a struggle.

Iori Muga quickly checked the room and confirmed, "There are many smuggled artifacts in the room. The people who handed Saijo Taiga over to the police didn't touch these things, which means their purpose wasn't for money."

"There were no signs of ransacking in any of the rooms; all the signs were concentrated in the front yard."

Conan and Heiji Hattori also discovered the problem.

It seems that from the beginning, the mysterious group had already determined that the thing was underground in the front yard, but they were not sure of the exact location, so a large area was dug out.

However, these craters do not reveal what exactly was taken away.

"It will be very difficult to find out what's hidden here."

"It's alright, there might be a turning point when Gin and the others arrive."

after an hour.

The stars were no longer visible in the sky, but a faint white line could be seen where the night sky met the mountains and forests.

Dawn was about to break, and it was already four o'clock.

Conan and his two friends hid atop the clock tower, where the height provided excellent visibility and made them less likely to be spotted.

"It seems someone's coming!" "Is it Xia Chuan you were talking about?"

"No, Xia Chuan said it would take him another half hour to get here, so he probably hasn't even made it up the mountain yet."

Conan had some doubts about Natsukawa's statement.

Logically speaking, even if it's in the opposite suburbs, an hour and a half should be enough to get there, but Xia Chuan insists that he hasn't reached the foot of the mountain yet, which is quite intriguing.

Even though Conan trusts Natsukawa a lot, he can't help but feel suspicious.

At the main gate of Yulong Temple, three motorcycles came to a steady stop.

The man in the black trench coat took off his helmet, revealing long, silver hair; he was none other than Gin, the top dog at the distillery.

On the left is Baileys, wearing a leather jacket and with a curvaceous figure, while on the other side is Vodka.

"Big brother, should we wait for Tequila and Cohen? They'll be able to deal with Mizuo Kenji soon and should be able to get there by dawn."

“There’s not much time left.” Gin shook his head slightly. “I believe the police will react soon, and they will definitely come to Yulong Temple after dawn.”

"Moreover, the police's response was also strange. Despite such a big incident, they made a lot of noise but did little, which made me a little worried."

“Indeed, the police higher-ups didn’t punish Ayanokouji for investigating the case, and there’s been no follow-up action.” Bailey’s eyes gleamed. “Maybe they’re already hiding inside Gyokuryu-ji Temple, just waiting for us to walk right into their trap.”

"Could the informant who passed on the message have already been discovered?"

Gin didn't say anything, but he gave Baileys a disdainful look.

"Hurry up, let's see if we can find any gold before dawn."

"Brother, do you really believe in Saijo Taiga? He seems to have some mental issues. He keeps saying he doesn't know where that thing is, but I always feel that what he's saying isn't the same thing we're looking for."

Gin knew this, of course, but he was also very interested in the mysterious person who handed Saijo Taiga over to the police. Even if he couldn't find the gold, he wanted to know what the mysterious person wanted.

In short, he wants both the gold and the mysterious man.

Unfortunately, Saijo Taiga didn't get to say more than a few words before he suddenly started foaming at the mouth and eventually couldn't even make a sound.

To find out what that thing really is, they obviously have to rely on themselves.

The old wooden door was pushed open, and a strong, earthy smell rushed into the three people's noses.

What came into view was a patch of uneven, open land.

The three were only slightly surprised, since they knew in advance that someone was looking for something here.

But why are these people even going so far as to plunder the ground in the front yard?

"They really dug three feet into the ground!"

"Brother, with so many potholes, could there have been gold buried there before?"

Vodka, who had been feeling listless, suddenly perked up; the number of craters indicated that there must be quite a lot hidden there.

This is very much in line with the situation with gold.

Gin didn't say anything, glanced at it briefly, and continued walking inside.

Midway through, he had already drawn his pistol and was completely focused.

After all, they didn't know much about Yulong Temple. If that group of mysterious people were still here, it's hard to say they wouldn't run into someone who looks like them.

The other two followed Gin's example.

"Is it them?"

On the clock tower, Iori Muga's eyes narrowed slightly, and his tightly clenched hands showed that his heart was not as calm as his tone of voice suggested.

However, Conan and Gin were both focused on Gin and did not notice his emotional fluctuations.

"They're the ones who abducted Saijo Taiga!"

A sinister smile crept across Conan's face.

It's good that he's here; now his plan can be implemented!
