Daily Spy Life in the Detective Conan World

Chapter 702 Time Capsule
Conan was unfairly blamed, but he had to admit that he did indeed have this bad record.

Natsukawa was momentarily speechless, feeling a sense of helplessness towards Conan. Then, his eyes darted around, and he looked at Ai Haibara with a smile: "Ai, what do you think?"

“Conan is different. Every time he does something like this, he gets a beating from Kogoro Mouri.”

After saying that, she glanced at Anya almost imperceptibly.

Anya suddenly felt a chill on the soles of her feet and a slight itch on her buttocks.

"Auntie Joel, Anya, please don't beat me!"

The little girl, like a nimble monkey, snuggled into Aunt Joel's arms and rubbed against her broad, soft bosom.

"Father and Ai Haibara are both terrible people, Anya doesn't like them anymore!"

She learned nothing but how to act cute.

Ai Haibara shook her head silently.

"By the way, Father, I have something to tell you that can help you atone for your sins!"

Children hold grudges like goldfish, with only a seven-second memory.

Before long, Anya had fallen in love with her father again and started to foolishly try to make her presence known.

"Hmm? What is it? Tell me, but there's no reward."

Even after all this, he still has that look in his eyes that says he wants to make a deal. He's dreaming.

Anya looked at her toes with disappointment, but prioritizing the greater good, she still said, "Gyokuryu-ji!"

The place name, which seemed to have no beginning or end, left Ai Haibara and Joel somewhat puzzled, while only Natsukawa nodded as if he had thought of something.

What does "Yulong Temple" mean?

The most confused person was Ai Haibara, who had been with Anya for the past two days and did not remember ever going to a place called Yulong Temple.

Is this place related to the case?
How did Anya know that?
Also, she acted very strangely when she discovered the mysterious person in the morning. Logically speaking, Anya, with her careless nature, shouldn't have noticed, but that's exactly how the plot unfolded.

Three questions lingered in her mind, but no one explained them to her.

"Children, don't ask so many questions."

He was silenced with just one sentence.

Ai Haibara curled her lip in disdain. In terms of age, Natsukawa was almost thirty, and probably didn't have as much scientific knowledge as her.

Xia Chuan's heart skipped a beat, and he made up his mind.

Anya has only seen Conan and his friends once in the past two days, and they haven't solved the code yet. Moreover, the code points to Foguang Temple, so their ability to mention Yulong Temple clearly indicates that they heard it from Saijo Taiga.

Yesterday, after Joel installed the listening device, it was completely useless. It's clear that the failed assassination attempt on Hattori this morning affected Saijo Taiga's plans.

They were originally worried about where to hide, but now, after investigating the matter of Shinmei Nittaro, they've managed to take them all down.

But only if Conan and the people from the Black Organization don't cause trouble.

Xia Chuan thought for a moment and then sent a text message to Frank.

Since Vermouth has been assigned to investigate at the docks, let's get her to find out something.

As for Conan, it doesn't seem too difficult to handle.

The next morning.

Conan cautiously opened the door to his room. After a night's rest, he felt incredibly strong.

The investigation into the code has yielded new findings, and as long as he and Hattori Heiji are together, solving the case shouldn't be a problem.

"Conan, you really are going out!"

A clear, cold female voice came from outside the slightly ajar door.

Conan suddenly paused, then looked up.

Oh no, it's Sister Xiaolan!

How did she know I was going out?

In fact, he was forbidden from leaving his home.

After all, they had just experienced an assassination attempt yesterday morning, and Ran and Kogoro Mouri were worried that the same thing would happen again.

"Luckily, Xia Chuan told me about your habits beforehand. Just as he predicted, can't you just behave yourself so I can relax?"

Conan always feels humiliated when his childhood friend grabs him by the back of his collar.

Unfortunately, his height only reached Xiaolan's knees, and he couldn't even reach out and touch her.

"Brother Xia Chuan"

Conan was on the verge of tears, having roughly figured out the reason.

They probably discovered Anya.

As expected, Anya never got anything good. Even though it was her fault, she ended up suffering the consequences.

This is definitely Natsukawa's revenge for taking Anya into dangerous cases.

This guy not only refuses to help solve the case, but he also creates difficulties for me.

Conan had no choice but to silently be led to Ran's room. "You stay in your room and don't go out today. I'll bring you food when it's mealtime."

"What about Sister Xiaolan?"

"I've already made plans to go shopping with Kazuha, but don't worry, you won't go hungry when it's time."

Even if there's no time to deliver food, you can ask the hotel staff for help; it's not a big problem.

"Alright then." Conan nodded, feigning helplessness, but in reality, he was already plotting how to leave.
Leaving that situation aside, let's return our focus to Natsukawa. After handing Anya and Ai Haibara over to Araide Tomoaki and Franky, the three of them headed directly to the ruins of Gyokuryu-ji Temple.

There are actually two Gyokuryu-ji Temples in Kyoto.

One is in the mountains on the outskirts of the city, and the other is in the city of Kyoto. The one in the city, Gyokuryu-ji, was moved later and renamed Foko-ji, which is the place indicated by the code.

So even if Conan can decipher the code, he won't be able to find Yulong Temple for the time being.

As for why Natsukawa knew it was the old site of Gyokuryu-ji Temple and not the newly built Foguang-ji Temple, it was mainly because Shinmei Nittarou's last string of latitude and longitude coordinates in his suicide note pointed to the old site of Gyokuryu-ji Temple.

After learning yesterday that Saijo Taiga was also connected to Gyokuryu-ji Temple, Natsukawa was now certain that Shinmei Nittarou and Genji Hotaru had some kind of connection, or at least that he had a significant relationship with Yoshitsune.

Now that Yoshitsune is dead, it's uncertain whether any evidence can still be found.
Xia Chuan sighed softly.

Shinmei Niitaro probably never imagined that after he went missing, Yoshitsune would also run into trouble. If he hadn't gotten involved and incidentally discovered the case of Genji Hotaru, it would have been very difficult to find the so-called evidence.

However, good luck is also a reflection of strength, which shows that Tianming is in my hands!
Xia Chuan secretly scoffed at Ke Xueyi's willpower before setting off up the mountain.

The mountainous areas around Kyoto are all quite similar, at least the roads are pretty much the same.

As he rode his off-road motorcycle through the mountains, Natsukawa regretted not agreeing to Tomoaki Shinichi's request to accompany him.

If Shinichiro were with him, he could ride a motocross bike with Yoel instead of being all alone, while Kaori Shinmei was actually holding Yoel's slender waist.

Whenever they encountered a bumpy pit, the two of them would press themselves together, one in front of the other.

Xia Chuan imagined that if Joel were behind him, he could practice Hong Kong-style emergency braking.

Just thinking about it makes me happy; it's the perfect spice for a boring morning.

Unfortunately.
"Stop looking, just drive carefully, we should be there soon."

Joel naturally noticed Xia Chuan's gaze, finding it amusing while secretly feeling quite smug.

Which girl doesn't want her boyfriend to only have eyes for her? Whether she wants to be close to him or not is a different matter.

In broad daylight and in unfamiliar surroundings, the three of them were not as wild as they had been when they broke into the Mizuo family's kendo dojo the day before.

The main reason was that he brought along a burden.

Shinmei Kaori can't even ride a motorcycle, so there's no point in expecting her to do anything. She just needs to follow behind Yoel and point out familiar things.

Yulong Temple covers an area of ​​more than ten acres. When viewed from above, the entire complex can be seen to resemble the Chinese character "玉" (jade).

Every now and then you can see henchmen dressed in kendo uniforms patrolling back and forth.

Although it has been abandoned, it still retains a strong Edo-era atmosphere, which is probably one of the reasons why Yoshitsune and others chose it as their base.

"So, do you remember me?"

Joel patted Niimi Kaori on the shoulder.

"Wait for me to catch my breath."

Shinmei Kaori gasped for breath. Heaven knows how long she walked after getting off the bus. Although this high platform offered a view of the overall style of Gyokuryu-ji Temple, it was exceptionally difficult to climb.

Having been pampered since childhood, she had never had this kind of experience.

Speaking of Joel, what's going on? They're all beauties of similar age, so why can she climb rocks so easily without any breathing difficulties?
After a while, Shinmei Kaori finally had time to observe the ancient and old temple.

"Hmm, I think I do remember that."

Shinmei Kaori suddenly became excited: "I remember now!"

"My father did bring me here ten years ago."

"And then?" Xia Chuan pressed.

"How could it take so long?" Joel asked in surprise.

"Perhaps my father had the idea of ​​betraying the organization many years ago."

Shinmei Kaori sighed for a moment, looking nostalgically at the buildings: "When I came here back then, this place shouldn't have been abandoned yet. My father asked me, if I were to hide something here, where would I hide it!"

"Wait, I think I remember now. I think I buried a time capsule here!"

"Because my father seemed to know the host, he even got the host's support in planting the time capsule."

Do you still remember the exact location?

Xia Chuan was overjoyed; bringing the new name, Xiang Baoli, was definitely the right decision.

Yulong Temple.

Inside the temple, which had been converted into a kendo training ground, people dressed in black and white kendo uniforms moved around; some were patrolling, while others seemed to be busy investigating a case.

The Buddha statues in the hall were removed, and most of the rooms were turned into empty rooms. Some were used as rest areas, some as indoor sword training halls, and some were turned into warehouses for hiding stolen goods.

At that moment, a hurried figure rushed into the main hall, and not long after, Saijo Taiga rushed out.

His men had already prepared an off-road motorcycle for him. After putting on a balaclava and helmet, he left with a few of his men.

"It seems we arrived just in time."

Although it's unclear what happened, Saijo Taiga's departure certainly made Natsukawa's actions easier.

He had just observed that Saijo Taiga had fewer than twenty men under his command, and he had just taken five more with him, so there were even fewer men.

In the corridor between the palaces, two patrolmen, with nothing to do, whispered to each other.

"We've had such bad luck these past two days. Yesterday, someone impersonated our master, almost getting us caught by the police. And today, our master is going out so openly to look for someone, isn't that right?"

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense. You know Master's personality. If he hears you, you'll be in trouble."
