Chapter 522 Kuailong Temple
"Before the Akatsuki organization disappeared, the place where they frequently moved was Yanmo City in the capital, so I guessed there might be clues here, but I heard about the latest murder case this morning... It seems like there really won't be any It's all for nothing!" Heiji looked furious.
In the early hours of yesterday morning, the last victim appeared. It seems that there is a high probability that the murderer is still in Yanmo City.
"There are nine people in [Akatsuki Organization], right?" Conan confirmed at this time.
He didn't know at all that this matter was related to the [Akatsuki Organization], and he didn't go out to check it out. Being able to blurt out some basic information was already a reflection of his excellent memory and his impression of some major unsolved cases.
"Yes, so...there is still the possibility of another case happening." Heiji nodded.
"But [Akatsuki Organization]... was famous for stealing statues back then, right? Speaking of which, Uncle Kogoro is also in Yanmo City now, and it was the host of Kuailong Temple who invited him. I wonder if there is any connection. ." Conan said at this time.
"Kuailong Temple?" Heiji Yuan noticed.
"Huh?" Conan looked at him in confusion - Isn't this what you noticed so weird?
"Ahem, it's nothing...just keep talking." Heiji awkwardly changed the subject.
"Uncle Kogoro shouldn't have arrived yet. Let me call and check..." Conan said, taking out his mobile phone.
"Uncle...are you almost here? Can you...no no no, it's not to cause trouble...it's Heiji-nii who admires you very much...yes, yes, yes, he said he is too young and wants to watch you solve the case..."
Heiji:……
Conan made a gesture indicating successful negotiation, but Heiji really couldn't be happy.
"You guy..." Heiji looked at Conan gloomily.
But in order to go together, I had to endure it.
"Kuailong Temple...it seems that the twelve-year statues have been consecrated recently, right? But I didn't hear anything was stolen from them by the [Akatsuki Organization]." Heiji said in confusion.
He usually pays attention to "Kuailong Temple".
The three of them took a taxi and came to Kuailong Temple - as the name suggests, it is a temple worshiping "Kuailong".
Because of the existence of "mythical beasts", the temples in this world basically worship real mythical beasts.
There are also Pokémon like "Kuailiu", which are deified even though they are not mythical beasts...
In Yanmo City, there are temples for various dragon-type Pokémon and dragon-type mythical beasts. There are even more temples for Ho-oh and Lugia in the Johto area. This is very different from other cities in the Johto area. the difference.
"Really, you little brats... If you want to appreciate the heroic appearance of this detective, I'll satisfy you, but don't make trouble for me!" Kogoro said with a proud look on his face, but he also pretended to be disgusted.
Heiji looked helpless at this time, but in order to get clues, he pinched his nose and admitted.
"Kuailong Temple..." Eminem looked at the plaque at the door and thought of a certain Kuailong ancestor, and specifically asked: [Lao Ka, do you want monks in your temple, or do you want a group of yellow-flowered girls to be there? In your temple, do you change the group after you turn 24? 】
But even if Eminem teases Lao Ka, he still pretends to be asleep and doesn't answer.
And now Lao Ka has no choice. There are only old monks in the temple - yes, there are monks and goddesses in this world, but the objects of worship are mythical beasts or some specially worshiped Pokémon.
When the three of them came in with Kogoro, the temple's abbot, Master Yuanhai, and a capable-looking monk, as well as three people dressed as ordinary people who seemed to be pilgrims, welcomed Kogoro.
The young monk first greeted Kogoro and said enthusiastically: "Thank you very much for coming. I am Ryuuen who contacted you before... This is Master Enkai, the host of this temple."
The old monk, who looked kind-hearted, put his hands on top of his head and picked with his two index fingers - it is said to be imitating the dragon's whiskers on Kuailong's head, a kind of salute gesture.
"These three are benefactors of our temple, and this is Mr. Sakura who runs an antique shop..."
Eminem thinks that Mr. Sakura looks... short and stocky, and his facial features have the temperament of a profiteer. At first glance, he is a good material for selling antiques.
"This is Mr. Harutaro, the ancient coordinator of Water Wake."
Harutaro seems to be a young man with an upright attitude. Ancient Coordinators are actually ancient and traditional Pokémon performers. They pay attention to the division of genres. According to the modern classification, they are all coordinators. Some ancient coordinators will also participate in coordination competitions. .
"And this is Mr. Taiga from the used bookstore."
Dahe looks like Monk Longyuan, tall and mighty, but wearing glasses.
The host, Master Yuan Hai, said at this time: "But rather than saying that he is a 'donor', it is better to say that he is a fellow swordsman of Lao Na. Today we are also here for a swordsman showdown."
"Swordsmanship?" Ammu and the three of them noticed the elements at the same time.
"Hahaha, no wonder the master's body is so strong." Kogoro said in greeting.
"By the way, I heard that in three days, your temple will have a very special Kuailong statue with a thousand-year history, which will be consecrated every twelve years, right? We are all looking forward to it," Heiji said specifically at this time.
"Everyone is interested. If Master Kuailong knows about it, he will definitely be very happy." Old monk Yuanhai responded without missing a beat.
However, both Eminem and Conan noticed that Monk Long Yuan's face looked a little unnatural...
After that, in front of the other "guests", the host didn't say much, and just asked Ryuuen Yuan to entertain the four Kogoro first.
When they came to the hiding place behind the temple, Long Yuan also told the truth - in fact, the "Kuailong Statue" had been stolen eight years ago!
"What? Stolen? But... there are still three days..." Kogoro was surprised and at the same time understood why a temple would hire him.
"Yes, it will be bad if you haven't found it back by then." Long Yuan said worriedly.
"But...you haven't reported the crime in eight years?" Heiji wondered.
"Well, the host master said that if there is a fate, the 'Kuailong Statue' will definitely come back in the future." Long Yuan said helplessly.
slim Shady:……
Eminem now feels that the old monk is too suspicious!
[Lao Ka, Lao Ka, your statue has been stolen, can you feel it? ] Eminem asked curiously.
[Haha...] Lao Ka just laughed disdainfully.
It seems to be saying...it's just human wishful thinking.
"Eight years ago... it was right before the [Akatsuki Organization] disappeared!" Heiji now felt that this theft was absolutely inseparable from the [Akatsuki Organization].
"But eight years have passed..." Kogoro was also a little embarrassed. There must be no clues!
"No, actually two days ago, this temple received this anonymous letter, which said that as long as the puzzle is solved, you can see the Kuailong statue again!" Long Yuan took out a piece of paper at this time.
I saw a painting on it, roughly divided into three columns, with a total of nine dragon-type Pokémon...
