The sun sets and the sky gradually darkens.

With her eyes blindfolded, Toyama Kazuha did not feel nervous. She knew that someone would come to save her. If she had to worry about anything, she was only worried about Heiji's health... He was already injured, and if something went wrong, she would never forgive herself.

There were noisy footsteps outside the house, as if something had happened.

Could it be that Heiji has come?

Toyama Kazuha quickly straightened her back and listened carefully to their conversation. However, what they were talking about seemed to have nothing to do with Heiji, and she couldn't even understand what they were saying.

"Master has instructed us to put the prepared sword back into Benkei's drawer and the bow and arrow back into the hexagonal drawer."

"I see, Benkei's drawer is... counting from the top... um, it should be this one!"

Benkei and the hexagonal drawer? What kind of riddle are they talking about? I have no idea.

Just as Yuanshan Heye was thinking about the answer to the riddle, she heard the people guarding outside the house suddenly greet her respectfully. It seemed that the person who brought her here, the master they were talking about, had arrived.

The footsteps were getting closer. When she heard the sound stop in front of her, she raised her head and frowned.

"Are you the one who brought me here? What exactly are you going to do to Heiji?"

"Little girl, you're not afraid at all. I'm really impressed." Nishijo Taiga chuckled. He grabbed Toyama Kazuha, who was kneeling on the ground, and sneered, "You should worry about yourselves first. I have no intention of letting you go back."

The white cloth blocking his vision was torn off, and Toyama Heye slowly opened his eyes and saw this familiar face, but he was not wearing glasses this time, and his hair was combed back.

It turned out to be him! The murderer turned out to be Nishijo Taiga!

Nishijo Taiga noticed her surprised look, and he curled the corners of his lips in satisfaction. He picked up the old man's mask from his waist and put it on again, not caring at all about his appearance being seen by others. After all, he was not going to let anyone leave here.

Yulong Temple will be the place where they are buried.

Nishijo Taiga pushed Toyama Kazuha out. In order to ensure her own safety, Toyama Kazuha had to cooperate with his actions. It was not until she stood in front of Yulong Temple that she realized where she was.

Temple? Then the place where he was imprisoned should be a warehouse.

Ten minutes of silence passed, but no one entered Yulong Temple. This made Xijo Taiga's patience gradually wear out. He tightened his fingers in displeasure and said coldly:

"Why haven't you come yet? It seems your boyfriend doesn't care whether you live or die."

"Stop sowing discord! Knowing it's a trap, what idiot would choose to walk into it?"

"Huh, is that so?" Nishijo Taiga looked up at the door, a smile in his tone: "It seems you guessed wrong, your boyfriend... is that idiot."

Upon hearing this, Toyama and Ye quickly looked up, and sure enough, the person walking towards them step by step was Heiji!

How could he be so stupid? He came to a place like this even though he was injured. He shouldn't have come.

Hattori Heiji lowered the brim of his hat, but when he spoke, his Kansai accent sounded strange:

"Hey! You didn't do anything to Heye, did you?!"

Strange, with that stiff Kansai accent, is this guy really Heiji? But judging by his looks and clothes, it's definitely Heiji, even the height is pretty close.

Even though Toyama Kazuha was confused, she pretended to be worried and shouted:

"I'm fine, Heiji, you don't have to worry about me!"

Hattori Heiji placed one hand on the brim of his hat, as if he didn't want others to look down on his appearance. He took out a cloth bag from his pocket, poured out the white hair inside, and said coldly:

"This is what you want, right? You attacked me on this mountain yesterday just to get this crystal bead back. But it seems you've failed.

Then, in order to keep the treasure for yourself, you went to the teahouse in Pontocho and killed Mr. Sakura. I also know why you didn't choose other places, because there was a river behind only that teahouse.

After you killed Mr. Sakura who was looking for the Buddha statue, you put the tracker used by the security company to find lost children into a plastic bottle together with the murder weapon and threw it into the river. Now you only need to make a phone call to find and retrieve it.

Then, you took advantage of my return to Osaka and ambushed me on your bike, intending to kill me and steal the White Hair. Your murder plan failed because of Heye's interference, and you deliberately left the murder weapon behind in an attempt to exonerate yourself.

Am I right, Mr. Saijo Taikawa? Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call you Musashibo Benkei?"

After hearing this reasoning, Nishijo Taiga removed the old man's mask. There was no need to wear it anymore. His eyes were filled with murderous intent. He had to eliminate everyone who knew his secret...

He looked coldly at Hattori Heiji in front of him, spread out his hands and said:

"As expected of a high school detective, your reasoning truly impresses me. But the detective game has to stop here. Hurry and hand over the thing to me, and I will show mercy and let you go."

"If you want me to give it to you, then let He Ye go first!"

"no problem."

After being pushed suddenly, Toyama Kazuha steadied herself. She looked back at Nishijo Taiga vigilantly. She didn't think this guy would really let her go. She definitely wanted to launch a sneak attack on Heiji.

She approached Hattori Heiji step by step. When she heard the sound of a sword being drawn behind her, she quickly quickened her pace and ran to Heiji's side. At least at this time, she couldn't become a burden that hindered Heiji!

When Hattori Heiji saw this, he had to hold the wooden sword tightly in his hand. After barely resisting the attack, he grabbed Kazuha's wrist and tried to escape from here.
