Stay away from Conan.

Because of the previous incident at the Kyoto Photo Studio, Inukai Genichi met Takato, who happened to be invited by Hattori Heiji to Kyoto at that time. Due to that incident, after Hattori Heiji and Mori Kogoro were injured, the case reasoning was mainly led by Takato, and eventually a trap was set up to catch the criminal. Therefore, Inukai Genichi had a very good impression of Takato.

And this time, the "Genji Hotaru" incident that made him and others a little helpless, now because of Gao Yuan's appearance, he actually caught the murderer behind the scenes, which can be said to be directly declared solved -

This is something that can be praised enough for the Kyoto police at this point in time, when the police in the three places have just formed a joint investigation task force, and Kyoto has directly solved the case.

Therefore, when Inukai Genichi saw that it was Gao Yuan who solved the case, he naturally looked very happy and came up to greet him.

In response to this, Gao Yuan couldn't help but respond and greeted Inukai Genichirō when he saw him appear. After all, he was only familiar with two policemen in Kyoto, Inukai Genichirō and Ayanokouji Fumimaro.

So, with the arrival of the police, after Nishijo Taiga was taken away, Kudo Shinichi, Inukai Genichi and others began to question Gao Yuan about some of the doubts in this incident -

After all, there are still some things in the whole matter that cannot be answered for them.

——"The most important thing is what happened in the teahouse just now, the murder of Mr. Sakura Masazo. We had police on duty at the only entrance and exit of the teahouse, and we didn't see anyone sneaking out of the teahouse. But even after searching the entire teahouse and the surrounding area, we found no trace of the murder weapon. How do you explain this?"

As a result, Kudo Shinichi couldn't help but ask the question that concerned him most at the moment.

In response to this, Gao Yuan said calmly:
"Well, the method of hiding the murder weapon is actually very simple. Think about it carefully. Isn't the outside of that teahouse directly adjacent to the river?"

Without laying too much groundwork, Gao Yuan directly points out the key to the technique.

Suddenly, after hearing this, Kudo Shinichi was stunned, and remembered that the teahouse was indeed directly next to the river, so -

"Use the river..."

Now, Kudo Shinichi basically understood where the murder weapon was.

However, Inukai Genichi was a little confused about this and asked in confusion:
"Using the river? That's not right, right? The murder weapon that killed Mr. Sakura Masazo was a dagger. Even if it was thrown directly from the window of the teahouse into the river outside, the dagger would sink into the river. And we have already searched the area around the teahouse, including the river..."

"So, as long as we don't let the dagger sink to the bottom of the river, it will be fine. For example... put the dagger in a plastic bottle, and use the plastic bottle's ability to float on the water. In this way, we can use the river to carry the dagger to a place far away from the scene."

Gao Yuan said simply.

"But... if the murder weapon is disposed of like this... wouldn't the murderer be worried that someone would eventually find the murder weapon floating on the water? Where the murder weapon will eventually drift to is not something the murderer can control."

Inukai Genichi was still full of doubts.

In response to this, Xiao Ai beside him explained calmly:

"It's actually very easy to retrieve the murder weapon. All we have to do is put a tracker in that plastic bottle. Afterwards, we can use the tracker to easily find the target."

As she said this, Xiao Ai thought about how Gao Yuan found her and how she helped Gao Yuan find his monocle. They all used the same method, so it was easy for her to think of it. In this way, Inukai Genichi suddenly realized:

"I see……"

In this way, as these doubts were solved, the truth of the whole matter basically surfaced without interrogating the criminal Nishijo Taikawa -

Saijo Taiga, a member of the "Genji Hotaru" group codenamed Benkei, chose to kill all the other members after the death of their leader Yoshitsune in order to keep for himself the Buddha statue that was stolen from Sannoji Temple and hidden by Yoshitsune but could not be sold because its white hair was lost.

Among them, Mr. Sakura Masazo, codenamed Ise Saburo, seemed to have a cooperative relationship with Saijo Taiga from the beginning. It is estimated that Sakura Masazo relied on his identity as an antique dealer and controlled the channels for selling such Buddhist statues. He thought he was safe and approached Saijo Taiga, who was a master in swordsmanship, and planned that the two of them would work together to find the Buddha statue and kill the other members.

However, Sakura Masao probably did not expect that their cooperation had not yet come to any results. Perhaps because Sakura Masao's right shoulder was kicked by Xiaolan when he kidnapped Kazuha, thus exposing a flaw, Nishijo Taiga directly killed him.

Afterwards, he wanted to continue to take back the white hair on the Buddha statue from "Hattori Heiji", but the scene just now happened. His plan was completely seen through by Gao Yuan, and then he was beaten up by Gao Yuan.

At this point, the incident has finally come to an end, and Gao Yuan has also recovered the Buddha statue stolen by "Genji Hotaru". The police did not delve into questions like what the secret code was, but as Kudo Shinichi, who was entrusted by Ryuen to investigate the secret code, he was a little curious about the solution.

So, after separating from Inukai Genichi, Kudo Shinichi took out the shadow version of the code paper, and curiously asked Gao Yuan about the drawing on it that looked like a child's doodle, what was the explanation for the code on it?

After all, Gao Yuan said that he found the Buddha statue in the abandoned Yulong Temple, but Nishijo Taihe said that he had searched the temple thoroughly but could not find the Buddha statue at all. It can be seen that Gao Yuan did not find it by accident. He must have solved something to find something that others had not found after a thorough search.

In this regard, Gao Yuan explained:

"Actually... this picture shows the streets of Kyoto. If you look at the map of Kyoto, you can see that the shelves on the picture are east-west roads, and those graffiti-like paintings are the names of north-south roads, and then you can understand it."

"A map of Kyoto?"

Hearing this, Kudo Shinichi was a little confused. He took out his phone and looked up the map. Then he looked at the content of the picture and soon understood the key -

"Compare the painting with the map... Then the location of that abrupt point in the painting corresponds to..."

"The old site of Gyokuryuji Temple. But Gyokuryuji Temple had long been moved to Kuramayama, and was about to be abolished when the previous abbot, Yoshitsugu, the leader of the Genji Hotaru, passed away not long ago."

Gao Yuan explained:
"Nishijo Taiga wanted to use that temple as a training ground, and he also kidnapped Ai and the others there. After I found them there, I paid attention to the layout of the temple, and immediately discovered a further secret in the painting..."

As he said this, Gao Yuan suddenly thought:

"Oh, yes! Speaking of this, I am a little curious about the abbot of the Shanneng Temple where the Buddha statue was lost. There is something I want to verify when I return the statue..." (End of this chapter)
