Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

"Kyoto?"

"Sannoji Temple?"

Inside the Polo Coffee Shop, several people were gathered together, listening to Uncle Maori reading out the new commission he had received.

"Don't even think about it. This time, the other party specially invited Lin Feng and me to decrypt it."

Uncle Maori saw the looks between his daughter and Conan and shook his head.

Inviting the sleeping detective master and apprentice to solve the mystery, this is what the other party wrote in the letter of commission.

"But, uncle, didn't the other party say what incident they wanted to investigate?" Conan asked with a curious expression on his face.

This matter is really a bit strange. They invited the detective over but didn't tell them the specific details.

"Well, I called and asked, but they insisted that they would talk about it after we got there."

Uncle Maori also shook his head, somewhat confused.

Maybe there is something unspeakable. The unspeakable secret of a monk in the temple should not be a big deal...

"Dad, Brother Lin Feng, take us along too. And Yuanzi, she just told me recently that she wants to find time to go out and play together."

Xiaolan and Conan looked at each other and said to the detective master and apprentice.

"I don't object. It will save energy to take you out."

Lin Feng had no intention of objecting. If Uncle Maori had not wanted to take him there and was not very enthusiastic about it, he would not have accepted the commission.

"Save energy?" Xiaolan was a little confused.

You can't ask me to help carry the luggage, right?
also!

"Hehe..." Conan curled his lips and smiled, thinking that this incident would eventually fall upon him.

"Forget it, we'll set off tomorrow. You guys mustn't cause trouble to me, and be good and obedient when we get to Kyoto." Uncle Maori showed a helpless expression and warned with his arms folded.

"Great!"

It's different from the joyful atmosphere here.

On the other hand, a press conference is being held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department as a case that is too stressful to bear has occurred.

"According to the investigation, the five people who were killed in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto have been confirmed to be members of the thief gang Genji Hotaru."

Inspector Megure sat at the table and said with a serious face.

On his right is Officer Otaki from Osaka, who is considered a strong assistant to Hattori.

On the left are Officer Shiratori and Officer Ayanokouji from Kyoto, yes, the one who keeps squirrels.

"Officer Sato, I heard that Officer Ayanokouji and Officer Shiratori from the Kyoto Prefectural Police Department seem to be classmates, right?"

Takagi, who was standing in a corner beside the meeting, asked.

"Well, he is a descendant of ancient court officials, nicknamed the Noble Police Officer. Look, inside his left pocket." Sato nodded and said.

A squirrel poked its head out and was looking around the venue. Even though the place was crowded with people, it did not show any fear.

Rumor has it that this noble police officer is much weirder than Officer Shiratori and goes out to investigate cases with his pet squirrel every day.

"We discovered that Genji Hotaru had been stealing famous Buddhist statues and works of art since 1991, mainly in Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka."

"All members of this organization call each other Yoshitsune's retainers, and each of them has a copy of Yoshitsune's book in their hands."

Officer Shiratori introduced, holding up the Yoshitsune Ki in his hand.

The protagonists of this book are Minamoto no Yoshitsune and his brother Minamoto no Yoritomo. As an organization that creates faith, it is natural that everyone has a copy of the book.

"Their leader is called Yoshitsune, and he now has Benkei and Ise Saburo under him. The other five have been killed, and the Yoshitsune Chronicle in their hands has also been taken away."

Officer Ayanokouji then spoke.

Benkei and Iseburo were both retainers of Minamoto no Yoshitsune. There was nothing wrong with their code names, but the other five retainers were already dead. "Are there any clues at the moment?"

A reporter who was taking notes in the audience raised his hand and asked.

"At present, we only know that the murderer is a master of kendo and is good at bows and arrows."

"As for the three people, Yoshitsune, Benkei, and Ise Saburo, who have not been killed yet, their gender and age are unknown." Officer Otaki shook his head and said.

The police analyzed that the murderer will target the remaining three cadres of Genji Hotaru next.

But who knows where these three people are.

You can't post a missing person notice to find these three thieves.

Five people died in succession in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Regardless of whether they were members of a thieves' organization or not, bad rumors have already spread, and the police are under tremendous pressure.

"No matter what, we must arrest the murderer and other members of the Genji Hotaru gang as soon as possible. We will do our best to search!"

Inspector Megure, who was sitting in the C position, spoke with a serious expression.

The flash lights in the audience kept flashing. Some reporters had almost finished writing their articles and would be able to publish them directly after adding photos and formatting them.

This kind of case must be reported in a hurry in order to achieve some results.

Although there have been a lot of comments online, this is the first time the police have responded directly to this serial murder case.

As the conference was about to end, the squirrel keeper, Officer Ayanokouji, stood up, sorted out some documents, glanced at Officer Shiratori beside him, and turned to leave the conference.

"..."

Officer Shiratori had a puzzled look on his face. Even though they were classmates, he was not very fond of this noble officer.

"Shiratori, we are going to start the search here as well!" said Officer Megure.

They don't have to worry about Osaka and Kyoto, but they have to deal with their own little piece of land. There are already quite a few daily cases, and now everyone will probably have to work overtime and be overloaded.

"I think everyone is ready..."

Officer Shiratori nodded and looked at Sato and Takagi who were whispering nearby.

snort!
Except for these two people...

……

"Kyoto!"

"finally reached!"

The people who accepted the commission took the Shinkansen to Kyoto. As soon as Sonoko got out of the station, she heard a shout.

"Listen, although I have said it once, but..." Uncle Maori repeated the precautions to Xiaolan, Sonoko and Conan.

Don't cause trouble to the temple, don't interfere with their work, don't run around, especially that little kid with glasses.

"Okay..." Conan showed a speechless expression and glanced at the repairman next to him who was looking around leisurely.

It's obvious that Lin Feng didn't bring his brain with him when he went out, and he didn't let me get involved. How can you figure out what kind of case is wrong?
"Come and hold this little brat."

After hailing a taxi, Uncle Maori threw Conan to Lin Feng who was sitting in the front seat.

It is common practice for four adults and children to squeeze into one car.

However, Lin Feng and Conan were not very happy about it.

The Dog-Headed Detective still prefers to sit on Xiaolan's lap.

As for the repairman.

Who would want to hug this guy...

Hattori probably agrees, he has a crush on Kudo... (End of this chapter)
