"And after all, are there really cabinets in here that match the items stored there?" Sonoko expressed her doubts suspiciously.
"I think there should be some cabinets with street names that match the items stored inside."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "For example, on the road representing Benkei, there should be swords stored."
"That's where the Benkei stone is."
He Ye subconsciously sang the Temari song after hearing this: "Bride Rokkakuko Nishiki..."
"It's not 'bride', it's 'sister'."
After Hattori Heiji subconsciously reminded him, his expression suddenly changed and he immediately asked, "Where did you learn this song?"
"At my relatives' house in Kyoto."
Kazuha looked at Hattori Heiji's sudden change of expression. Although she was a little confused, she still explained: "I think it was in the third grade of elementary school. It was when you and I went out to play together that we learned this song. What's wrong?"
"With me?" Hattori Heiji was surprised, and the expression on his face began to become gradually subtle.
"What? Don't you remember?"
He Ye was surprised for a moment and then suddenly realized: "Oh, right, I wasn't ready at that time, but you couldn't wait to go to Shanneng Temple to play.
Seriously, you can't even wait for me to change into a kimono.
But that time my relative helped me put on makeup and did my hair, and I liked it very much.
What a pity! I wanted to show you around, but I couldn’t find you in the temple, so I had to play ball for a while and go home.
It’s such a shame, because I looked so beautiful in my kimono under that cherry tree.”
"Is that so..."
Hattori Heiji murmured, the subtle relief that could not be described in words mixed with the joy of fate, constantly impacting his brain.
"Why are you looking at me all of a sudden?"
Seeing Hattori Heiji suddenly staring at her in a daze, although she couldn't fully understand the complex emotions contained in the other's eyes, Kazuha subconsciously lowered her head shyly.
"Ah...ah...nothing." Hattori Heiji came back to his senses in panic and stammered to evade the question.
"I searched for him among the crowd for hundreds of times. When I turned around, I found him standing there in the dim light."
Amidst the bewildered gazes of the crowd, Tang Ze recited the most appropriate line of poetry in Chinese, then said with a smile, "This is truly fitting for the occasion."
"Hey, don't talk nonsense!"
Although he didn't know what the poem-like sentence that Tangze recited was about, Hattori Heiji understood the second half of Tangze's words and yelled in embarrassment.
"What are you talking about?" Looking at Hattori Heiji who was suddenly embarrassed and angry, Kazuha always felt that he had missed something, and the words that Detective Karasawa said were the key to the whole matter.
"Oh my, I smell big news." Yuanzi started to fan the flames, hoping that the world would not be in chaos.
"That's not true!" Hattori Heiji said unhappily.
Although Yuanshan Heye didn't say anything or ask any further questions after hearing this, he agreed with Yuanzi's words in his heart.
And her woman's intuition told her that this ancient poem by Tang Ze Xingxing was very important!
But she did not feel uneasy at all, because the look in Hattori Heiji's eyes just now made her feel at ease naturally.
Although she didn't understand why, she just felt that way.
But at this time, she felt a little regretful that she had not learned more about the language of flowers, otherwise she would not have such a superficial understanding.
"I'll definitely ask Sister Ayako when the time comes!" The girl made up her mind quietly.
"Okay, okay, don't we still have to guess the riddle?"
Ayako felt that Tang Ze must be promoting their relationship, but since Tang Ze did not point it out at this moment, he naturally felt that the current situation was inappropriate.
Because it had been explained in advance that the two of them could be brought together this time, Ayako quickly understood what Tang Ze meant, and with a smile, she calmly changed the topic to the puzzle.
"Three is on the second street above Octopus Brocade."
Kazuha instinctively felt that this was not the right time to continue asking questions, so she pondered the street where Benkeishi was located: "The second street above the Takonishiki, the east-west road "Tera", "Miyuki", and Fuya-cho is the third one!"
Singing Temari's song quietly, Kazuha quickly locked onto a cabinet on the upper level.
"Let me see what's in here." Hattori Heiji opened the drawer, and what caught everyone's eyes was a long sword with a purple scabbard.
"It's a perfect match inside and out, and it has a unique blade pattern. This must be the demon sword Muramasa." Hattori Heiji pulled out the long sword, looked at the blade in his hand and couldn't help but admire it: "For..."
"Maybe it's a stolen item."
Tang Ze gestured to Hattori Heiji to put the knife back, then smiled and said, "Okay, let's go explore the rest of the place, and then we'll go have dinner with you."
"Accompany us? Have you eaten?" Ayako asked.
"Well, to get some information, we went to a pub that Hattori Heiji was familiar with to eat." Tang Ze smiled, "So the three of us have already eaten."
"When did you become familiar with someone in Kyoto?" After hearing the conversation between the two, Kazuha looked at Hattori Heiji with some vigilance.
"I just met him this time."
Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes and explained, "Didn't I come to Kyoto to investigate on my own before? I found someone with a gun bag, so I went up to help.
The proprietress said she wanted to thank me and gave me the tavern's business card. Later, I wanted to ask something, so I went there for dinner."
"So that's how it is." He Ye nodded without asking any more questions.
