A well-known piano composer from Blue Star...
Chapter 711: Once the disguise is gone, there's no way to revive.
As for the other party's purpose, apart from the case files on Uncle Mori's computer, Conan couldn't think of anything else that could be targeted here.
His heart sank. Could it be that the people in that organization had discovered that the one who solved the case wasn't Uncle Mori? Or had they discovered his identity?
Upon waking up, Conan felt extremely tense, his mind racing with the same few possibilities.
However, all of these possibilities are extremely dangerous!
"Conan? Conan!"
Hearing the sound, Conan snapped back to reality and looked up at Ran Mouri, who seemed a little confused. "Huh? What's wrong, Ran-neechan?"
Ran Mouri put her hands on her hips and said, "We're about to head to Tokyo. Sonoko and Chitake have already arrived."
"Okay!"
Conan remembered that Uncle Mori had been invited to visit Sannoji Temple in Tokyo today.
Sonoko Suzuki planned to visit a temple with Ran and then stroll around Tokyo, treating it as a trip. They also invited Chitake to join them.
As for why Behefinger didn't come along this time, it's naturally because he planned to go with Professor Agasa and the others later.
After all, Professor Agasa will be bringing the Detective Boys to Tokyo later.
As for the lack of seats... it's not like he can't drive.
They arrived at Sannoji Temple in Tokyo and met with Ryuen, who had invited Kogoro Mouri, and Enkai, the temple's head priest.
There were indeed three men next to them, who were the suspects in this murder case: antique shop owner Sakura Seizo, Noh playwright Mizuo Harutaro, and used bookstore owner Saijo Taiga.
Following Ryuen's introduction, Chizuru, who was behind Kogoro Mouri, raised her eyes and glanced at them a few times.
He remembered that the Medicine Buddha statue was stolen eight years ago...
The motive of the one who stole this Medicine Buddha statue doesn't seem to be entirely pure either...
Ryuen invited Kogoro Mouri and the others into the temple, and then told him the reason for the invitation.
After sitting upright at the table, Ryuen poured tea for them and then took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Kogoro Mouri.
The letter contained two pieces of paper. One of them read, "As long as you decipher this picture, you will know where the Medicine Buddha is."
The other one is the diagram that they need to solve.
Although it is described as a picture, it actually depicts a five-tiered shelf resembling a staircase, with only three rows of strange patterns drawn on it.
Qianzhu glanced at it with slight curiosity, then looked away.
"But isn't the Medicine Buddha statue supposed to be open to the public for worship the day after tomorrow?" Ran Mouri asked, puzzled.
It's unlikely that the Buddha statue can be found in such a short time, right?
"Yes, so I still hope that Detective Mori can find the Buddha statue before the day after tomorrow..." Ryuen sighed slightly, feeling both helpless and hopeful.
Kogoro Mouri scratched his head, feeling the burden on his shoulders suddenly become much heavier. "I will do my best to find the Buddha statue."
"Then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Mori."
Longyuan bowed gratefully and then led them to an empty room in the temple so that they could rest there.
Looking at the somewhat strange pattern, Sonoko Suzuki raised an eyebrow. "Is it really possible to find this before the day after tomorrow? It seems like it will be very difficult."
She glanced at Kogoro Mouri, who was clearly stumped, her lips twitching slightly. After waving her hand, she looked at Ran Mouri and Chizuru, "Let's leave the puzzle-solving to the experts. How about we take this time to explore Kyoto?"
Upon hearing this, Ran Mouri also became interested. She smiled and said, "Actually, I called Kazuha before coming here, and she said she could take us to Kyoto tomorrow."
"Ha, that's great! I'm already looking forward to tomorrow!" Sonoko Suzuki's eyes lit up, and then she spoke to Ran Mouri and Chizuru again, "In that case, how about we go and explore this temple now? We have nothing to do here anyway."
"Okay." Chizuru smiled and nodded, then got up and walked out of the room with them, leaving only Kogoro Mouri in the room, sweating profusely as he stared at the picture, and Conan, who was deep in thought.
Temples are generally quite quiet, and the three of them wandered around the temple, clearly feeling the tranquility.
On their way to other places, they came across a person under a tree, and upon closer inspection, they realized it was Mizuo Harutaro, whom they had seen not long ago.
He stood under the tree, holding what appeared to be a piece of paper in his hand. His brows were furrowed, and he looked serious, though his eyes also revealed a hint of inner conflict.
He caught a glimpse of Qianzhu and the other two out of the corner of his eye, paused for a moment, then looked up at them with a smile and a nod before immediately walking away.
Sonoko Suzuki blinked in confusion, "What's wrong with that guy?"
Ran Mouri shook her head, indicating that she didn't know.
Qianzhu lowered her head slightly, a thoughtful look on her face, which turned into a calm and carefree smile after a moment.
Since they weren't very familiar with Kyoto, they didn't rush to go today, even though it was still early. Instead, they decided to wait until Ye arrived tomorrow before going together.
...
The car braked suddenly, almost throwing the people inside out.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Kawasaki Machi gripped the overhead handle tightly, his heart pounding with excitement.
Berheffinger, who slammed on the brakes in the driver's seat, nodded with satisfaction. "Indeed, my driving skills are really quite good. I could try being a race car driver."
Kawasaki Machi smirked, "So, you're the racer who crashed into all the other cars and sent them flying into the ditch, huh..."
"Aren't you satisfied with my driving skills? Gin didn't say anything when he rode in the car!" Behringer got out of the car with his head held high and chest puffed out.
Kawasaki Machi pushed the car door back and closed it expressionlessly. "You were under control back then, weren't you?"
"Never mind the little details, let's go find Conan and the others." Behringer locked the car, stuffed the key into his cloak, and waved. His eyes lit up when he spotted a motorcycle, and he looked at Kawasaki Machi with anticipation. "How about we rent a motorcycle and ride around?"
Kawasaki Masashi: ? ?
Before he could politely decline, Behringer flew off in a flash, and when he returned to the car, he was already riding a motorcycle.
Kawasaki Machi: ...
Bechfinger tossed him the helmet, his voice brimming with excitement, "Quick! Get in the car!"
Chuan Shengzhen hesitated for a moment, then, with a look of resignation, put on his helmet and got into the car.
"You'd better be careful, once your alternate account is destroyed, there's no way to revive it on the spot."
