Detectives of Detective World
Chapter 1058: lost buddha statue
In front of the train station, Maori Kogoro and Sonoko had no scruples about arguing. To outsiders, it looked like a father-daughter quarrel.
But this is normal. The site of the garden was originally Xiaolan's childhood sweetheart, and the garden can be said to be grown up by Maori Kogoro.
In this case, the relationship between the two sides is naturally unusual. Even if the two do not have any blood relationship, it is no surprise that the relationship between the two of them has made them bicker for more than ten years.
"Okay dad, Tang Zexing and Lingzi are here too, let's go quickly." Stopping the quarrel between her brother and her best friend, Xiaolan started talking about the business: "Don't you say that the client is still waiting."
"Understood, then let's set off now to go to Shanneng Temple." Maori Kogoro reached out to stop the car: "But we have a large number of people, and we may have to take two cars."
"It doesn't matter, we have transportation, you just need to take the car." Tang Ze smiled and said: "We will catch up with you later, and we have prepared the map."
"Shanneng Temple is not too far away." Ayako looked at the map and first found her location: "Wait, go north first, and then go west."
Looking at the two of them carefully identifying the direction, Mouri Kogoro and others showed doubts on their faces: "Is there transportation? What have you prepared?"
Just when Ayako was about to explain, two motorcycles drove across the road and stopped in front of them: "Miss, young master, the motorcycles you want have arrived."
After the motorcycle stopped, a bodyguard pushed a black off-road motorcycle in front of Tang Ze, and then took out two helmets from the backpack at the back: "This is the helmet that has just been unpacked, you two pay attention to safety on the road."
"Please make a special trip." Tang Ze took the black helmet and handed the white one to Ayako.
"When the motorcycle arrives, we'll go back." The bodyguard in a suit bowed slightly and smiled at Sonoko, "Goodbye, Miss Sonoko."
"I didn't expect that the means of transportation my brother-in-law said was the motorcycle you brought." Sonoko suddenly looked envious: "It's good, if you have a motorcycle, you can wander around Kyoto at will."
"If the second miss needs a motorcycle, we have another one here." The bodyguard said with a smile, intending to give the tools for the two to return to Yuanzi: "It may not be as good as the one driven by the young master in terms of performance."
"Ah, forget it, I don't have a driver's license either."
Yuanzi quickly waved his hand when he heard the words, and looked at his old sister who was clinging to Tang Ze's back behind the car, feeling that she had been stuffed with dog food again: "And he couldn't take me, Azhen went to the game too. No time..."
"But I heard from my mother that you dragged your little boyfriend in those two days, but you didn't come home until late every time you played~"
Ayako laughed and teased her sister when she heard this: "Why, Xiao Biesheng is newly married, and you're panicking after you haven't seen him for a few days?"
"What are you talking about, sister!"
Yuanzi heard his old sister's ridicule, her cheeks instantly flushed, and she wanted to jump up: "We just went out to eat and watch a movie,"
"Ah, that's what I meant." Ayako covered her mouth and smiled like a fox: "What do you understand?"
"I'll ignore you!" Sonoko "couldn't fight" Ayako, so she could only run to Xiaolan's side to seek comfort.
"Okay, let's go back."
Tang Ze explained to the two of them when the car came over, then put on the helmet and started the motorcycle, looked at Mouri Kogoro and the others and smiled, "Then let's go first."
The motorcycle roared and disappeared on the street corner in the blink of an eye.
"It's great, I also want to have a boyfriend as almighty as my brother-in-law to take me around Kyoto on a motorcycle."
Watching the two of them go away, the shy Sonoko returned to her original state. Watching the backs of the two of them go away, she put her hands together and directly entered a state of fantasy.
"It's so chic. Rich people can bring their own transport when traveling." Kogoro Mouri said sourly, but there was undisguised envy in his eyes.
"No, brother-in-law is riding a motorcycle just to facilitate the investigation of the case."
Sonoko on the side defended his brother-in-law: "Didn't there happen a serial murder case of killing a gang of thieves some time ago? Brother-in-law is here to investigate this case."
"I remember that Criminal Tang Ze seems to have just returned from abroad." Mauri Kogoro complained when he heard the words: "He is really enthusiastic."
"Dad, please pay more attention to the relevant information." Xiaolan on the side heard the words: "What if there is any discovery."
"Those are left to the current criminals to do. Let's settle the commission first."
Mouri Kogoro snorted and beckoned to stop a taxi: "And Tang Ze is not with us, it proves that he is also very interested in this commission."
"That's right! Brother-in-law, after hearing about Uncle's client, said that it was a bit strange for the temple to entrust Uncle Maori at this juncture. It might be related."
Yuanzi said as he walked towards the taxi: "Well... my brother-in-law said so after hearing this. I don't think the uncle's entrustment has anything to do with the case."
"Better not." Mauri Kogoro snorted when he heard the words: "I don't want to get involved in such a troublesome case.
It’s best to finish the commission early and drink the local sake in Kyoto early~”
"Dad is true!" Seeing her father's appearance of being addicted to fantasy, Xiaolan reminded helplessly: "Don't lose the chain at work!"
"I know!" Mouri Kogoro waved his hands impatiently: "Get in the car quickly."
When the taxi arrived, Tang Ze and the two were already waiting at the entrance of the temple.
However, because it was a request from Mouri Kogoro, the two did not enter the store, but took a rest at the door with drinks.
After seeing Ma Liu Xiaogoro and the other group getting off the bus, Tang Ze parked the motorcycle and entered the temple with the other party.
After seeing Kogoro Maori, a monk with a national character in a robe with an inch head gave up the conversation with the few people in front of him, and hurriedly greeted him and held Kogoro Maori's hand:
"Mr. Mori! Thank you so much for coming all the way from Tokyo!
I called you yesterday to entrust your Longyuan. "
After the monk Longyuan saw Maori Kogoro, he seemed very enthusiastic: "I'll introduce you to this, this is Master Yuanhai."
The old monk folded his hands and bowed to everyone without saying anything.
"The three here are the benefactors of this temple." Yuan Hai first introduced the man wearing a dark purple suit with a general belly.
The other party is Sakura Masazo, an antique art dealer who runs an antique shop on Teramachi Street.
Next to him in a blue kimono is Shuntaro Mizuo, the heir of Noh Water Wake.
As for the last one wearing a coffee-colored coat and glasses, it was Saijo Dahe, who opened an ancient bookstore.
Of course, when introducing the other party, Tang Ze couldn't help but cast his eyes at him.
Because he knew the plot, he knew that the man in front of him, who looked like a gentleman with a good face, and even a little dumbfounded, was the prisoner they were looking for.
No matter how you look at it, you will never regard such an honest man as a murderous criminal who killed five of his companions.
However, if you look carefully, you will find that the opponent's finger joints are covered with calluses, especially the left palm and the right index finger and middle finger, which are left by practicing bow and arrow.
And looking at his steps and stance, you can also detect the shadow of the opponent practicing kendo.
Of course, even if Tang Ze knew the identity of the other party, he couldn't do anything with him. After all, the two sides only met for the first time. Tang Ze had no information channel at all to confirm his intelligence.
So if you want to arrest the opponent, you still need a suitable time.
However, this theatrical version is relatively classic, so Tang Ze has revisited it later, so he is still very familiar with the plot.
It's easy to find key nodes and solve cases easily, but he also wants to try to get some more case rewards.
This requires some action.
"Well, it's better to say that everyone is a kendo fan rather than a benefactor." Master Yuanhai said with a smile after his disciples finished sweeping the three.
"No wonder the host is so tough." Kogoro Mouri smiled, "So you all practice kendo."
"Host, I heard that there is a treasure in the temple that will only be exhibited once every twelve years?"
After Tang Ze on the side recovered his thoughts, seeing that Kogoro Mouri was going to continue chatting, he hurriedly looked at the host and asked.
"Yes, it's the Buddha statue of Yakushi Tathagata." The host nodded.
"Ah, I know this, the day after tomorrow is the day for the development visit." Xiaolan said excitedly: "We came here because we wanted to see this!"
"With this pure heart, Yakushi Tathagata will be happy to know it." The host laughed.
On the other hand, Long Yuan, who was on the side, interrupted the conversation between the two of them unnaturally: "By the way, about the entrustment, please come into the room with me and talk about the details."
"That's annoying."
Everyone followed Master Long Yuan into the temple, and then learned the content of the other party's entrustment to Kogoro Mori this time.
"What!? The main Buddha statue was stolen!?"
When he learned that the Buddha statue of Yakushi Nyorai that was to be displayed in the temple was lost the day after tomorrow, Kogoro Mouri couldn't help screaming.
"That's right, it was eight years ago."
Long Yuan opened the door of the shrine, revealing the two Buddha statues: "The one on the left is Moonlight Bodhisattva, and the one on the right is Sunlight Bodhisattva.
But the Tathagata Buddha statue in the middle was stolen..."
There are two Bodhisattvas in the shrine, one on the left and one on the right, but the position of the most important Buddha statue of Medicine Buddha is empty.
Long Yuan closed the shrine and explained, "As early as when the Buddha statue was lost, I suggested to call the police, but the host stopped me.
He said that the loss of the Buddha statue is God's will, and if there is a fate, it will come back one day. "
"This heart is too big." Mouri Kogoro on the side said sweating.
"Then I don't know why Master Long Yuan is entrusting Maori detectives?"
Tang Ze asked, "Eight years have passed, why did you suddenly entrust at this time?
Could it be because of some change that made you, Master Long Yuan, have such an idea? "
"This donor is really keen. In fact, our temple received a letter five days ago."
Because he didn't know Tang Ze, Long Yuan was also a little surprised by the keenness of the young man in front of him, but after all, he was not too surprised because he came with Kogoro Mouri, and just explained:
"There is no stamp on the envelope, and the sender's name is not written..."
While talking, Master Long Yuan guided everyone to take their seats, and then went to the drawer on the side to take out the letter.
On this white envelope, only the words "Shanneng Temple Collection" were written. After opening the letter, only one sentence was written on the first piece of paper.
- "As long as you can solve the mystery of this painting, you will be able to know where the Yakushi Tathagata is."
Mouri Kogoro read the contents of the first sheet of paper, and then turned to the second page.
On the second piece of paper, it was clearly a pattern.
This is like a young altar for girls' festival dolls. There are five floors in total, and these steps are not dolls, but painted with various patterns.
First of all, the fifth and highest floor is painted with red cicadas, green tengu and red goldfish.
The fourth floor down is a golden rooster and a loach? ?
In the blank space between the two steps on the fifth and fourth floors, there is also a "," character.
After that, between the second and third floors, violets, green tengu, and purple Mt. Fuji were painted.
Outside the steps, there is also a brown oak chestnut pattern.
After seeing this pattern, everyone was at a loss, and Xiaolan was even more worried: "Dad, this has to be found before the day after tomorrow, are you okay?"
"Hehe... No, don't worry..."
After hearing his daughter's words, Maori Kogoro had already shed cold sweat on his forehead, but he still said stubbornly, "This kind of pediatric puzzle is too easy for me!"
Although he said so, Mouri Kogoro's hand holding the mystery paper has begun to tremble, obviously he is at home with a guilty conscience.
"Then if you are looking for it like this, if the matter of the Tathagata Buddha statue is to be handed over to the expert uncle!"
Sonoko didn't have the slightest doubt, and immediately after Mouri Kogoro finished speaking, he happily suggested to Ran and Ayako, "Let's go visit Kyoto?"
"That's right! That's it!"
Mouri Kogoro bit the bullet and said, "You guys are just here to disturb me~www.NovelMTL.com~ It's enough to have Tang Ze and I here."
"Actually, I also need to investigate the case and go out."
Tang Ze looked at Maori Kogoro who was trying to help him and refused with a smile: "Let me leave this simple deed to the Maori detective. After all, this is also your commission. It's not good for me to intervene in your work."
"Eh?" Maori Kogoro was a little stunned when he heard the words, and immediately smiled awkwardly: "That's right... Haha, then I can do it myself!"
"Come on, Dad!"
Xiaolan encouraged her father, looked at Sister Suzuki and said with a smile, "Actually, on the way here, I have already contacted He Yejiang.
She said she wanted to be us as a tour guide in Kyoto, but Hattori-kun didn't seem to come because of something. "
"I already have He Yejiang, it doesn't matter if the boys come or not."
Yuanzi raised his head when he heard the words humming, and said, "This time, let's just have a good time with the four of us girls!"
