Ke Xue's Kogoro

Chapter 280 Murderer Benkei
In the hotel at night, Kogoro was still awake, chatting non-stop with his mobile phone.

Feiyingli said angrily, "Honey, are you talking to Chris behind my back?"

Kogoro lay beside Fei Yingli, leaning against the head of the bed, moved the phone a little away and said, "Look for yourself, we are discussing the case."

Fei Yingli took a serious look, and said with some dissatisfaction: "There are just a few people, how many groups have you pulled?"

Kogoro could only explain: "You are here to play, and the case or something, you should leave it to our detectives."

On the Buddha statue that Long Yuan took back, Conan had already attached a locator, and now the four detectives were waiting anxiously in the group.

According to Kogoro's script, in the next two days, the mastermind behind the scenes will steal the Buddha statue, and when the time comes, he can easily catch the murderer according to the location and map.

But Kogoro and the others waited all night, but they didn't see any movement of the locator. The next day, the four of them formed a group to go to the Sanneng Temple where the locator was located to see if the Buddha statue was still there.

"Strange, the other party didn't act."

After seeing the Buddha statue, the four of Kogoro returned to the car and had a small meeting in the car.

"Ding~"

Kogoro's phone rang.

"Hi, hello, Mori Kogoro."

"I am the Kyoto Prefectural Police, and my surname is Ayanokōji."

Kogoro instinctively felt that something must have happened, so he asked, "Officer Xiaolu, what can I do for you?"

"Ahem, please call me Police Officer Ayanokōji. The thing is, Sakura Masao, who was drinking with you last night, was killed in his art gallery. So I need to find you for some relevant clues. Please go to Teramachi Road Sakura A trip to the antique art store and cooperate with our investigation."

Kogoro hung up the phone, frowning.

"Guys, that Sakura Shozo was killed."

what?
Kogoro directly ordered: "Toko, go to the Sakura Antique Art Store on Teramachi Road. Ayanokōji from Kyoto Prefecture is waiting for us."

"clear."

Although Touzi was driving, Kogoro still asked him, "Touzi, how much information do you know about Ayanokoji?"

"Ayanokōji Fumma is the same period as Shiratori Rensaburo. He has a strong background and good ability. His characteristic is that he always carries a squirrel with him, which is his pet."

Kogoro put his hands to his forehead, and it was indeed the squirrel police officer.

Conan couldn't help complaining: "I hope this police officer Ayanokōji is a normal police officer."

Hattori has the right to speak: "Don't worry, Officer Ayanokōji is quite capable."

Well, as long as it is not a mountain village.

More than half an hour later, the four of Kogoro came to Sakura Antique Art Store.At the scene, apart from seeing Bunma Ayanokouji with a big backed head, a wisp of dull hair on his forehead, and a squirrel standing on his shoulder.They also saw the familiar white bird.

"Yo, Brother Shiratori, why are you here?"

Shiratori greeted Kogoro and the others: "Because Genji Ying's case involved three places this time, I was sent here to assist in handling the case."

It turned out to be the case.

Shiratori acted as an intermediary and introduced Kogoro and the others: "This is my friend from the same period, Fumoma Ayanokouji, and he is the person in charge this time."

Ayanokōji has the arrogance of a nobleman, not as approachable as Shiratori.He said coldly: "The deceased Sakura Masao, according to the research, the time of death was between eleven o'clock last night and one o'clock in the morning. Before he died, he was drinking with you at a tea house in Pontocho."

"So, I'm going to ask you for your alibi."

"Go to the hotel where we stayed and check it out."

Ayanokōji coughed: "Your alibi is just a formality, because we discovered the true identity of Sakura Shozo, and he is Ise Saburo of Genji Ei."

Kogoro said in surprise: "Then Benkei is the only one left in the whole Genji Ei?"

Now it was Ayanokōji's turn to be surprised: "Mr. Mori, how did you know that Genji Ei is the only one left with Benkei? Can't it be Yoshitsune?"

For this, Kogoro really can't answer, it can't be said that it is the information of Touzi.

Fortunately, Touzi has a trick: "That's it, Officer Ayanokōji. Master Mori came to Tokyo to retrieve a Buddha statue that had been stolen for eight years. When he found it, the Buddha statue was covered with dust. It was obviously hidden there for a long time. gone."

"So, if it was Benkei who hid it, then Yoshitsune, as Genji Ying's boss, has no reason to kill his former subordinates. And if it's Benkei, then it makes sense for him to kill other people and monopolize the finances .”

This makes sense, as the leader of a bandit group that has been active for such a long time, there shouldn't be any unequal distribution of spoils, otherwise the gang would have disbanded long ago.But Benkei, who is the second child, might do this.

Kogoro continued: "So, we speculate that Yoshitsune shouldn't have died for a long time. He hid the Buddha statue missing the pekoe, and then came up with a mystery. Maybe the person who found the Buddha statue was going to be the next leader. Bar."

Ayanokoji and Shiratori digested the information, and Ayanokoji said: "Let's tentatively designate the murderer as Benkei first, then how can we find him. We just surveyed the murder scene, and there are no clues. So Shiratori Suggest that I invite you to take a look."

Kogoro felt that it didn't make much difference whether he saw the scene or not, so he said to Touzi and the three of them: "Then you three go in and have a look."

Ayanokōji was a little angry, and felt that Kogoro was a little underhanded.

"Mr. Maori, don't you go in and see the scene?"

Putting his arm on Ayanokouji's shoulder, Kogoro said in a low voice, "Did you find any clues when Ei Genji died before?"

Ayanokōji was a little discouraged: "No, the murderer was very powerful, and there were no clues left at the scene of the crime. Moreover, the dead were all fatally shot by one blow, and the methods were brutal."

Shiratori also nodded in agreement.

Kogoro said: "So, there must be no clues to the corpse of Sakura Masao inside. But don't worry, you should have seen the news today. I returned the Buddha statue to Sanneng Temple."

Ayanokōji said, "Mr. Mori, your intention is..."

Kogoro briefly talked about the Baihao and the Buddha statue, and then said: "So, now that Benkei already has Baihao, as long as he steals the Buddha statue back, he can sell the Buddha statue. Even if he killed it in advance, it will be shared equally." The stolen money Ise Saburo."

Shiratori's brain turned quickly: "It is to lure the snake out of the hole."

Kogoro nodded: "Yes, it is to lure the snake out of the hole. I have installed a locator on the Buddha statue. If the Buddha statue is stolen again, we will call the door directly."

Ayanokōji also understood, and he said: "Then we will follow the usual practice. After finishing the investigation of the other people, that Benkei should relax his vigilance."
