Stay away from Conan.

Originally, when everyone found this place, their purpose was to find the so-called first love of Hattori Heiji. The only clue was that Hattori Heiji met a girl who looked slightly older than him in a temple in Kyoto. This was completely ambiguous information.

So, according to Kazuha's analysis, they guessed the range of temples that Hattori Heiji might have come to at that time, and found the Sannoji Temple. As a result, in this temple, they saw a young and beautiful woman who looked to be about twenty years old.

  This way, the location and age seem to match!

As a result, almost subconsciously, Xiao Ai, Xiao Lan, Yuan Zi, and He Ye all thought of the same question -

"Could it be her?"

In this regard, facing the current situation, Xiaolan and others wanted to step forward and call out to the woman directly, but no one did so.

  After all, what would it matter if he just went up to her and called her? Should he chase her and ask if she was the girl that Hattori Heiji saw in the temple eight years ago? Or should he ask directly if she was the one who gave Hattori Heiji the flowers in the hospital?

I always feel that it would be very strange to do this, and if the other party intends to conceal something, they probably won't say it. In addition, there seems to be something else happening in the temple now, which makes everyone present almost unanimously make the same choice. They are ready to go and see what happened first, making the monks of this temple shout "Oh no".

Of course, in addition to being concerned about what happened, everyone also thought that since the woman just came out of the main hall, maybe the abbot of this temple knew her. So it might be better to find out about the other party through the abbot rather than asking her directly.

So, just like that, Xiaolan and the others walked towards the temple hall, only to hear the abbot ask the monk:

"Ryuen, what happened? Why are you in such a hurry?"

In response, the monk named Ryuen was holding a letter and the contents of the unfolded letter in his hand, and was hurriedly explaining the situation to the abbot.

As a result, at this moment, Xiaolan and others came up, which made Ryuyuan, who was about to explain, stop what he was about to say, as if he felt that these things were not convenient to talk about in front of outsiders.

However, Xiaolan and the others came forward and directly asked the other party what happened -

"Excuse me...what happened? Do you need help?"

Xiaolan first looked at the abbot and monk in front of her and asked.

  In this regard, the abbot looked at the girls who came together and was a little surprised, but still smiled gently and said:

"Dear donors, what brings you to our temple? If you want to visit or pay homage, please feel free to do so..."

"Do not……"

In response to the abbot's answer, Sonoko was somewhat anxious to strike up a conversation. After all, she was hoping to get the information about the woman from the abbot. But now, after Sonoko said "no" in a hurry, she didn't know how to respond.

So, He Ye stepped forward and said:

"From what I heard you guys talking just now, it seems like something happened, right? If you need help, we can help."

"Yes! If it's a difficult problem, maybe my father can help."

Xiaolan then naturally continued the conversation.

In response, the abbot glanced at the monk named Long Yuan, as if asking him what bad news he was going to say, after all, he didn't know the specific situation at the moment.

Seeing this, Long Yuan also looked nervous. He subconsciously quickly put the letter that he was about to show to the abbot behind him, then smiled awkwardly, and then looked at Xiaolan and asked: "Um... this donor, may I ask, your father..."

"My father is Maori Kogoro, and my name is Maori Ran. If there is anything difficult, I think my father will be happy to help."

Xiaolan nodded politely, introduced herself, and mentioned the name of Kogoro Mouri, perhaps subconsciously thinking that this would encourage the other party to tell her the truth.

At the same time, probably after hearing what Xiaolan said, Kazuha also reacted and said:

"Yes, if there is a difficult case that needs to be handled, I can also contact Heiji... that is, Hattori Heiji, a high school detective from Kansai. He and I grew up together... I can also ask him to help."

At this point, when Kazuha said this, Ai couldn't help but look up at Kazuha's reaction. Especially when she talked about her relationship with Hattori Heiji, she paused for a moment, as if she was showing weakness. What was she worried about?

So, seeing Xiaolan and Kazuha say this, Xiaoai couldn't help but fold her hands in front of her and said calmly:

"I can also ask Brother Gao Yuan to help. After all, although he is not as famous as Uncle Maori and Hattori Heiji, he is also a detective."

In this way, as Xiaolan, Heye, and Xiaoai each brought out three detectives, Ryuen, who was originally thinking about hiding the letter, now had an extremely exciting expression -

  Not to mention that Gao Yuan is not very famous and not many people have heard of him, but the Kansai high school detective Hattori Heiji and the "Sleeping Kogoro" are well-known!

For a moment, after having the endorsement of these people, Long Yuan, who had thought for a while, finally did not continue to conceal it, so he brought Xiaolan and others to a hall in the temple -

"The main Buddha statue of the temple, Medicine Buddha, was supposed to be consecrated once every twelve years and open to the public for worship. But in fact, this Buddha statue was stolen eight years ago...

"The day of opening for worship once every twelve years is approaching, but the statue of Medicine Buddha has not been found yet. We are very worried, but just now, I received such a strange letter in the mailbox of the temple."

Arriving at the main hall where the Buddha statues were enshrined, Long Yuan opened the shrine where the Buddha statues were enshrined for everyone to see. On the left and right sides of the shrine were a statue of "Sunlight Bodhisattva" and a statue of "Moonlight Bodhisattva" respectively, but the main Buddha "Medicine Buddha" in the middle was empty.

And now, eight years after the "Medicine Buddha" statue was lost, the letter that Ryuen just received contained the following:

"As long as we solve the mystery of this painting, we can find the Buddha statue."

So, along with this letter, there was another strange painting -

The picture looks like a shelf with several layers, and some of the layers are covered with graphics that look like children's graffiti.

——"The Medicine Buddha statue had been stolen for so many years, and when the day of the burial was almost approaching, the temple received such a letter. I was really surprised. I thought this might be the closest chance to find the Medicine Buddha statue, so I was in such a hurry to find the abbot just now...

"In the end, I didn't expect that several donors saw it..."

Ryuen explained. (End of this chapter)
