In Conan, the shrine is inherited

"What! Who did it!" Fukuda Haruyo was shocked.

"No, this is fake, an imposter." Fukuda Tounosuke hurriedly told all the information, "Our Sumiyoshi Association did not deceive him. After investigation, we found that those people were gangsters from the Ghost Tiger Gang. They used the name of our Sumiyoshi Association to swindle people and get money. Ye Qiuxin was deceived by these people.

"It has nothing to do with our Sumiyoshi-kai."

At this moment, everyone had an expression on their face that said - are you kidding me?

A few thugs from the Ghost Tiger Gang were actually involved with their Sumiyoshi-kai.

This is such a sudden disaster!

Fukuda Haruyoshi was also stunned. He had been thinking carefully for a long time a few seconds ago, wondering if something had caused dissatisfaction among the heirs of Yuehua Shrine, and the result was just this?

That’s it? !

As an old man, he can't stand being frightened.

Fukuda Haruryo covered his chest and sat down slowly. Although the cause of the incident was too absurd, as long as it had nothing to do with the Sumiyoshi-kai, it was fine. He said with relief: "Find out these bastards from the Ghost Tiger Gang and punish them severely! And wipe out all the groups in Tokyo that dare to pretend to be our Sumiyoshi-kai. Such a situation must not happen again!

"You are also forbidden to cause trouble to the heir of the Moonlight Shrine!"

"Yes..." The cadres were confused as to why a high school student and a few hooligans caused the president to make such a fuss. But since it was an order from Haruyo Fukuda, they had no choice but to accept it.

"You guys retreat and follow the order. Akinosuke and Tounosuke stay." Fukuda Haruryo waved his hand and announced the end of the rally.

Everyone looked at each other, feeling even more confused.

However, he still followed Fukuda Haruyoshi's orders and gradually left the room.

After the door was closed, a few seconds later, Fukuda Haruyo instructed: "Akinosuke, prepare an apology gift and a visiting card and send them to the Gekko Shrine. I want to personally explain the cause and effect of this incident to Master Akishino. I can't let him misunderstand Sumiyoshi."

Fukuda Akinosuke seemed to have expected this and immediately responded, "Yes."

Fukuda Tounosuke stepped forward and asked, "Father, why are you doing this? Master Qiuxin? Ye Qiuxin is just a high school student. If you care about his status as the heir of the shrine, there are so many shrines in Tokyo...

"Why are you so special only to the Moonlight Shrine?"

In the past, Fukuda Haruryo would often visit various shrines to pray and seek spiritual solace, and his attitude was very solemn, but this solemnity was merely a respect for the gods, not the abbots or priests of the major temples and shrines. He always maintained a relatively polite attitude.

But Yuehua Shrine...

No one knows which god is enshrined in it or which person is being worshipped.

And Fukuda Tounosuke could also see that the person Fukuda Haruyo wanted to apologize to was obviously Ye Qiuxin.

This doesn't seem right either.

"I think..." Fukuda Akinosuke said, "Father did this more because it involved those two adults."

Your Excellencies?

Fukuda Tounosuke thought about it. His father had mentioned this not long ago. "Are they Ye Qiuxin's parents?"

"That's right." Fukuda Haru nodded and said carefully, "Those two adults are truly capable people. I have witnessed their miracles with my own eyes. I believe their descendants are no exception and must have inherited certain abilities. It is a great blessing for our Sumiyoshi Association to associate with such a person. We must not offend them."

Fukuda Haruyo witnessed the methods used by Ye Qiuxin's parents at a private banquet a few years ago.

Everything about that scene is still hard for him to forget.

From then on, he became a frequent visitor to Yuehua Shrine, often making donations and performing worship rituals. When he had time, he would go there to take a short rest, listen to morning classes, and have a meal. It was obvious that he had been fooled.

After Futian Qingliao heard that Ye Qiuxin's parents had passed away, he was even more sad for a while.

Later, I tried to find Ye Qiuxin's whereabouts, but I never found her.

Unexpectedly, we met here again.

"Fuyunosuke." Fukuda Haru thought for a while and said slowly, "I will now give you a task. Go collect the details of Akitoko's case-solving process. Please make sure it is as detailed as possible.

“Also, collect the experiences of those bastards in the Ghost Tiger Gang for me, and I want the records they tell themselves.

"Remember, they said it themselves, got it?"

"Yes."

"Akinosuke, you should also prepare." said Fukuda Haruryo.

"I understand."

The brothers Fukuda Akinosuke and Fukuda Tounosuke left quickly and returned half an hour later, reporting, "Father, we have collected all the information you requested. This is the transcript of the fakes, the absolute first version of the oral statement."

"Father, the visiting card and thank-you gift are ready," said Fukuda Akinosuke.

Fukuda Haruyoshi had changed into a brand new suit. He took the document from Fukuda Fuyushi's assistant and looked through it. The more he looked, the more surprised he was. In his eyes, all matters concerning Ye Qiuxin were shrouded in mystery.

For example: he went to Sontoku Seba's house to exorcise ghosts, and relied on his familiarity with ghosts to solve the case in an instant; by communicating with the soul of the deceased, he revealed the truth about the deceased's death.

Especially the transcripts of Tiger and the other four, the various contents made it seem that something was unusual about Ye Qiuxin.

"Sure enough, he inherited the abilities of the two adults." Fukuda Haruyo closed the document, put a jade pendant he carried with him in his hand, and said solemnly, "Let's go to Yuehua Shrine now."

***

Ye Qiuxin was confused at this moment.

He looked at the name on the visiting card and the luxuriously decorated thank-you gift in his hand, and felt just as confused as the day he traveled through time. What was going on? The president of the Sumiyoshi-kai was coming to visit the Moonflower Shrine to apologize, and he had even arrived at the gate?

Isn't this too weird?

Are they going to raise an army to hold the culprit accountable? After beating the young one, now the old one is coming?

But damn, here comes such an old guy.

Are those four idiots so influential within the Sumiyoshi-kai!

"Mr. Yamabe, what do you think? Just speak boldly, don't be afraid." Ye Qiuxin couldn't help but ask.

"This..." Yamabe Koichi was also in disbelief. He never expected that the president of the Sumiyoshi-kai would come here in person. After hesitating for a while, he said, "I personally think that they don't seem to have the intention of threatening or harming you, because I have never seen such a thing that requires the club president to come in person, and... there won't be only three people coming.

“But from a safety perspective, I think it’s better for you not to meet.

"Be prepared for anything that might happen."

Ye Qiuxin nodded, this made sense.

Yes, we should always be prepared for the worst.

"Lord Qiu Xin, the old man said that he and your parents are old acquaintances." Onodera Eri came over to report, "There is also a token of trust." She spread out her hands, and a jade pendant appeared in front of the three people.

Ye Qiuxin took it. One side of the jade pendant was depicted with floating clouds and scorching sun, while the other side had the changing phases of the moon just like the moonlight.

This was indeed something given away by the original owner's parents, and only a few people own it.

He has an impression in his memory.

"In that case, we have to meet again." Ye Qiuxin smiled helplessly, "Mr. Yamabe, please invite President Fukuda over, and let the police officers responsible for protecting the shrine take a break."

"Okay." Yamabe Koichi took the order.

A few minutes later, Futian Qingliao walked into the reception room with his two sons and bowed respectfully: "Master Qiu Xin, hello."

This made Ye Qiuxin's outstretched hand stuck in the air. After the other party finished the courtesy, he leaned forward slightly and said, "President Futian, and the two gentlemen, hello too. Please take a seat."

The original owner's parents gave President Futian a jade pendant. Although the inner story was unclear, there was definitely nothing wrong with his politeness.

Even the identity of the Sumiyoshi-kai still made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Futian Qingliao did not sit down. He said directly, "Master Qiu Xin, I am here to apologize and to explain something to you. I just learned about what happened to you today."

Ye Qiuxin's expression suddenly became serious, but he was complaining in his heart: Oh, you guys still have the nerve to bring this up? Okay, I'll see what you say.

But the next second...

Fukuda Haruyoshi's first sentence made him at a loss for what expression to express.

"First of all, those four bastards who swindled your money and broke into the Moonlight Shrine are really not from our Sumiyoshi-kai. They are the remnants of the Ghost Tiger Gang. After the leader of the Ghost Tiger Gang was arrested, they have been using the name of our Sumiyoshi-kai to engage in intimidation and fraud in society." Fukuda Haruyoshi said firmly, "Please believe it, because the members of our Sumiyoshi-kai are not so unprofessional!"

"Ah?" Ye Qiu's brain froze.

"This is the information collected by our Sumiyoshi-kai. Please take a look. Everything proves that it has nothing to do with us." Fukuda Akinosuke took out a stack of files from the package. On it were the information of Tiger, Guan Dao, Thunder God, Old Duck, and their internal list.

Ye Qiuxin took it and looked through it in a daze. The things on it fit together perfectly and everything looked so real.

Yamabe Koichi also nodded to him, proving the authenticity of the file.

Because these files have the seal of the Metropolitan Police Department on them, and I don’t know how the Sumiyoshi-kai got them.

Ye Qiuxin finally realized.

Damn, those people are fake?!

Damn it, it turns out I was cheated by a liar!

Chapter 50: The Jumping Grass Mud Horse

Ye Qiuxin only felt as if a grass mud horse was running rapidly in his mind, and then jumping around. This abstract news made him so angry that he almost lost his composure. He wanted to stand up, slam the table and roar.

But in the end, I could only think in my heart:

Mala next door, these people are fake, then...then my 12 million would have been wasted!

If I had known they were fake, would I have taken the risk of being discovered by the winery and stolen the president's 100 million old notes? Uh... it seems necessary. If it weren't for the 100 million, I wouldn't have taken back the shrine so quickly.

The point is twelve million! Shit!

Nowadays, money is needed everywhere, and Ye Qiuxin inevitably becomes obsessed with money. When he thinks that his 12 million has all gone down the drain, he wants to cancel his own luck immediately and let those four people be overwhelmed by bad luck. When the time expires, he will release a few more people who will be blessed and unlucky together.

This cycle will torture them to death!

But Ye Qiuxin also knew that he shouldn't act on impulse, so he calmed down and looked at Futian Qingliao, "President Futian, I want to know what the purpose of these bastards is." He asked hatefully.

Twelve million is enough for a person to live a comfortable life.

You can't really want an heirloom.

"According to the confession from the Metropolitan Police Department, they claimed that their goal was a ukiyo-e painting." Fukuda Haruyoshi had of course found out everything and told the story, "During the Ghost Tiger Gang period, they accidentally heard from the leader of the Ghost Tiger Gang that the ukiyo-e painting was personally requested by Lord Lingyao from a contemporary painting master, and it was also a family heirloom personally identified by Lord Lingyao, and it was very valuable.

"After the Ghost Tiger Gang fell apart, they set their sights on the heirloom. They stole your money in order to get you to hand over the Ukiyo-e."

At this point he changed the subject and said, "But Lord Lingyao once told me that Yuehua Shrine does have an heirloom. Although he didn't say what the treasure was, it definitely couldn't be a Ukiyo-e painting by a contemporary master."

In Futian Qingliao's mind, Ye Qiuxin's parents are both mysterious figures with a thousand-year heritage. How could they possibly look down on such a small thing and regard it as a family heirloom?

Simply ridiculous!

Ye Qiuxin didn't know what was going on in Fukuda Haruyoshi's mind, but he learned from Fukuda Haruyoshi that the purpose of the four members of the Ghost Tiger Gang was really the Godzilla Ukiyo-e, and the number of alpacas jumping around in his mind increased again.
