Stay away from Conan.

"The murderer should have taken the original piece of paper with the secret code from Mr. Sakura Masazo's wallet, but the murderer probably didn't expect that Mr. Sakura Masazo also left a photocopy..."

Since they could not find the most crucial evidence of the murderer, they had no choice but to let the suspects leave the teahouse. With the clues they had, Kudo Shinichi could not help but focus on the murderer's behavior of checking the deceased's wallet.

The murderer would deliberately take away the drawing that told the address of the stolen Buddha statue from Sannoji Temple. He certainly didn't want the police and the people who found the body later to know that Mr. Sakura Masazō was also paying attention to this mystery.

If the Buddha statue was stolen by "Genji Hotaru", and Sakura Masazō was a member of "Genji Hotaru", then does it mean that even the members of "Genji Hotaru" do not know the actual location of the Buddha statue?
So, this is the purpose of the murderer taking away the blueprint from Sakura Masao?
In other words, the murderer did not want others to know this, which was probably because the murderer was also looking for this Buddha statue...

But the problem is, if the Buddha statue stolen by "Genji Hotaru" could have left such a secret code hinting at the Buddha statue, then the person who could do this must also be a member of "Genji Hotaru".

However, with the death of Sakura Masazo, the only members of "Genji Hotaru" should be Yoshitsune and Benkei. One of them, as the leader, Yoshitsune must know the location of the Buddha statue. So the current situation, based on the existing clues, is that Benkei wanted to decipher the code and obtain the Buddha statue, and for this he even killed the other members of "Genji Hotaru".

Then, the leader Yoshitsune who could make Benkei do this...

Could it be that the "Genji Hotaru" that I analyzed with Hattori Heiji before may have had some problems recently, and the root cause is the leader of "Genji Hotaru", Yoshitsune...

"It seems that... Yoshitsune, the leader of 'Genji Hotaru', must have passed away for some reason. Therefore, the person who committed all these crimes must be Benkei!"

Now, with these new clues, Kudo Shinichi has almost guessed the key truth, but the only question left is -

Who was the Benkei among those present at that time?
After all, now it seems that since the leader of the kidnappers of Kazuha and the others should be Sakura Masazo, also known as Ise Saburo, it seems that Benkei was definitely not one of the kidnappers present at the time. Therefore, with the existing clues, we can only hope to solve the murder case that just happened. We must find a way to solve the method by which Benkei hid the murder weapon after the murder...

So, thinking of this, Kudo Shinichi finally conducted a comprehensive search inside and around the tea house himself, but still could not find any possibility that the murder weapon might be hidden or taken away. As time was getting later, Kudo Shinichi knew that there was no point in continuing the investigation tonight, and he could only go back first.

So, after asking the police to guard the tea room and not to move the inside, Kudo Shinichi prepared to leave.

Moreover, in order to better impersonate Hattori Heiji and prevent outsiders from knowing that the current Hattori Heiji is impersonated by someone else, Kudo Shinichi also rode a motorcycle and prepared to leave. At the instigation of Sonoko, seeing that there was an opportunity for Kudo Shinichi to ride a motorcycle, she asked Kudo Shinichi to take Xiaolan with him and leave first, while Sonoko took the police car to the hotel to rest.

In this regard, facing Sonoko's proposal, Xiaolan couldn't help but blush a little shyly, but Kudo Shinichi didn't seem to say much. After handing the spare helmet of the motorcycle to Xiaolan, he rode on the motorcycle and motioned Xiaolan to ride on it. So, seeing that things had come to this, Xiaolan lowered her head slightly, and sat on Kudo Shinichi's car a little embarrassedly, and then saw Kudo Shinichi start the engine, let Xiaolan grab his, and start driving.

As a result, Xiaolan blushed slightly, and hesitated for a while with trembling hands. Finally, she hugged Kudo Shinichi's waist. Even though she knew that Kudo Shinichi might be Conan, she was a little confused about the current situation. But in the end, it seemed to cover up her shyness. Xiaolan asked:

"Hey, can you ride a motorcycle?"

"Of course, my dad taught me in Hawaii, and I got certified as soon as I was old enough."

Kudo Shinichi answered naturally and confidently.

So, just like that, he confirmed that Xiaolan had held on to him, which made Kudo Shinichi feel a little embarrassed, but he quickly calmed down and decided to drive away from here first. He started the car naturally and left the tea house.

So, as Kudo Shinichi drove his motorcycle out of the teahouse and headed towards the hotel where Xiaolan and the others were staying, there seemed to be another motorcycle parked on the side of the road, and a helmeted driver was waiting on the road. After "Hattori Heiji's" vehicle appeared, this person immediately started the vehicle and caught up with the vehicle driven by Hattori Heiji, who was actually disguised as Kudo Shinichi.

Then, after chasing for a while and catching up with the other party, the person who followed behind repeated what happened during the day when Hattori Heiji was chasing the motorcycle thief. The masked guy on the motorcycle who caught up with him let go of the steering wheel with both hands, drew the bow and shot an arrow at the unprotected back of Xiaolan, who was sitting behind Kudo Shinichi in front of him.

An arrow was shot, aimed completely at Kudo Shinichi and the others. The arrow flew towards them, but at the moment it was shot, suddenly another thing that seemed to be dragging a long tail came flying towards them at a high speed. At the moment the arrow left the bowstring, it hit the arrow, causing the arrow that was originally aimed to lose its accuracy. The arrow that was supposed to hit Xiaolan's back deviated from its direction and finally only hit the rearview mirror of the motorcycle that Xiaolan and the others were riding on.

After the arrow hit the rearview mirror and shattered it, Kudo Shinichi and the others suddenly noticed that the motorcycle behind them was behaving very strangely, so Kudo Shinichi subconsciously braked and quickly pulled over to the side of the road to see what was going on with the guy behind him who could shoot arrows while riding a bike.

Moreover, in fact, it was almost instantaneous. After seeing the opponent's archery skills, Kudo Shinichi had already associated that person with Benkei, so Kudo Shinichi actually had the possibility of intercepting him now.

However, because the arrow missed, the archer realized that the interference just now was serious and that nothing could be done now, so he increased the speed of the car and prepared to drive away quickly.

However, at this moment, in the dark night, another wine-red luxury car suddenly surpassed the man's motorcycle at a very high speed, and then the car braked suddenly and turned sideways, blocking the road ahead of the motorcycle, forcing the other party to stop and not even have the chance to turn and escape!
