Inside the temple, seeing Sonoko's "that's great" expression after discussing the plan, Xiaolan and Ayako couldn't help laughing.
After all, it was obvious that the other party was stimulated by the previous display of affection between Ayako and Karasawa, and now that they were able to form an "all-girls team", they were naturally cheering.
"Conan-kun, why don't you come with us?" Xiaolan said with a smile as she looked at Conan who had not yet made any arrangements.
"No need, I asked Detective Tang Ze to take me where I want to go." When Conan heard Xiaolan's invitation, he quickly refused and used Tang Ze as a shield.
"But Detective Tang Ze wants to investigate the case." Xiao Lan looked at Tang Ze hesitantly and said, "Wouldn't this be too much trouble?
Conan, if you want to go somewhere, we can take you there, right?
"That's okay. It seems some of the places I want to go are also the places I want to investigate."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "Besides, he can be considered as my apprentice. It is also a kind of practice to take him with me.
Don't worry, although we're investigating, we don't have any useful clues yet. We're just wandering around Kyoto, so there won't be any danger."
"So it's the disciple who's going out with the master to study." Xiaolan said with a smile: "Then when you go out, you must listen carefully to Detective Tang Ze and don't cause any trouble."
"Yeah." Conan and his friends were very unhappy, but faced with this situation they could only accept it.
"Okay, let's have lunch later and then go out."
After everyone had agreed on the plan, they had their first meal in Kyoto in the temple.
"Then we'll leave first." Tang Ze and Ayako waved goodbye on the motorcycle: "Be careful."
"Well, you guys should be careful too." Ayako smiled and waved her hand, "We'll set off too."
"Goodbye, Sister Xiaolan." Conan took the helmet handed to him by Tang Ze, jumped on the motorcycle and waved goodbye to Xiaolan.
In the temple, only the poor Kogoro Mouri was left, scratching his head and trying to decipher the code.
The motorcycle quickly drove away from the temple, and Conan, who was behind him, couldn't help but immediately start talking about the case: "Detective Karasawa, the ones who stole the Buddha statue from Sannoji Temple are most likely the Genji Hotaru thieves, right?"
"Yes, I think so too." Tang Ze slowed down the car to facilitate the conversation. "There must be some hidden connection between them that we are unaware of."
“But the question is, who sent the letter and what was his purpose?
Conan said solemnly, "And I wonder what potential connection this code has with the five serial murders."
"So our first stop is there." Karasawa smiled and said, "After all, it's Yoshitsune and Benkei."
"Ah, it must be there." Conan smiled when he heard it: "Five Bridges."
According to legend, Benkei once conducted a "sword hunting" operation on the Gojo Bridge in Kyoto. Whenever he saw a tachi on a passing samurai, he would challenge him to a duel, and the loser would hand over the sword to the winner.
Benkei had collected 999 katanas before he met Minamoto no Yoshitsune.
In the end, Minamoto no Yoshitsune relied on his superb martial arts and light steps to make Benkei admit defeat. From then on, Benkei followed Yoshitsune and became Yoshitsune's closest and most loyal retainer.
If we talk about the attractions related to the two people, the first one that comes to mind is naturally the five bridges where the two met.
"It seems that there is no clue related to the puzzle in the painting." Conan looked at the pattern in his hand with a helpless look.
"Well, just think of it as a trip." Tang Ze shrugged and said, "Besides, meeting some acquaintances isn't a complete loss."
"acquaintance?"
Conan was still confused, but the next moment he saw Tang Ze swing his right hand, and the gentleman's stick broke into two short sticks and swung it behind him.
"clang!"
The sound of bamboo swords clashing against steel was heard, and it was only at this time that they probably realized that someone was attacking them.
But when he looked up and saw the face of the attacker, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise: "Hattori!?"
"I didn't expect to meet you here. It's really fate." Hattori Heiji took back his bamboo sword and put it on his shoulder, then greeted the two of them with a smile.
"Big brother, give me back my bamboo sword!"
A handsome boy in a kendo uniform reached out to ask for his wooden sword. Hattori Heiji bent down, handed him the sword and thanked him, and then the three boys ran away.
"You really put a lot of effort into recreating the scene where Benkei swings his sword and strikes Ushiwakamaru."
Watching Hattori Heiji return the bamboo sword to the child, Tang Ze couldn't help but laugh and said, "But I don't think it's God's will. I think it's more unexpected and reasonable."
"Oh? It seems we are here for the same goal?" Hattori Heiji raised his eyebrows and smiled when he heard this.
"Who has the same goal as you, a guy who comes to find his first love?"
Just when Hattori Heiji was still feeling happy about the tacit understanding between the three of them, Tang Ze suddenly complained: "We don't like your first love."
"You, you, you... stop talking nonsense!"
Tang Ze's sudden complaint caused him to sprain his waist. Hattori Heiji's face turned red and he stuttered in anxiety: "I'm here to investigate the case!"
"Huh?!" Conan looked at the service platform's reaction with a playful smile on his face: "But your reaction now doesn't seem like what you said."
"He's anxious~ He's anxious~"
Tang Ze chuckled and added, "It's okay. People always find it hard to forget their first love. If you want to find him, I can help you~"
