Conan: This repairman is not very knowledgeable

Lin Feng held Conan in his arms, and everyone was chatting and laughing. The taxi quickly left the busy station.

“Will anyone really come to this place?”

After getting off the car, Lin Feng looked at the apartment buildings on one side, and then looked at the reflective office building in the distance.

A quiet place amidst the hustle and bustle…

This Sannoji Temple is actually located in the city of Kyoto.

To be honest, if there wasn't a sign hanging at the door, most people would have thought that the place inside the wall was the residence of some wealthy family.

"Don't talk nonsense." Uncle Maori reminded after paying the fare.

No matter where it is built, there will always be people coming to burn incense and worship Buddha, otherwise what should we do with the commission fee!
"Hurry up, there's someone in the yard!"

Yuanzi came here for tourism, but didn't think too much about it. He was still quite interested in the temple in front of him, so he walked straight to the front.

Everyone followed her into the Shanneng Temple.

"That's true, but don't tell anyone!"

There were five people standing in the yard, and it seemed as if they were discussing something illegal.

Among these five men, two were monks, one old and one middle-aged, and the other three were well-dressed and did not seem to be ordinary people.

"Mr. Mori!"

The middle-aged monk noticed the group of people walking into the temple, interrupted them, and happily shook hands with the sleeping detective.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Feng, it's great to have you two here!"

"I'm Long Yuan, whom I contacted by phone before."

The middle-aged monk in front of him, who looked quite honest, took the opportunity to introduce everyone to each other.

The first one is Master Yuanhai, the white-bearded abbot of Sannoji Temple who is standing beside him.

The old man put his hands together and looked kind, but his eyes were squinty. I wonder if he was a hidden ruthless character.

Then there are the other three.

"This is Mr. Sakura Shozo. He runs an antique shop on Teramachi Street."

Sakura Masao was wearing a pair of glasses and looked to be in his forties or fifties. When you looked closer, he fit the image of a shrewd businessman.

"The man next to you is the young master of the Noh Mizuo-ryu, Mr. Mizuo Harutaro."

Noh can be understood as a kind of classical musical drama, and being the young master of a genre is not a low status.

Mizuo Harutarou looked to be in his twenties and was indeed much more elegant. He smiled and nodded to everyone.

"As for this, this is Mr. Nishijo Taikawa who runs a used bookstore."

The bookstore owner is quite tall, wears a pair of round-framed glasses, has a smile on his face, and seems easy to talk to.

According to Long Yuan, the three of them should have donated money to the temple.

After Long Yuan finished the introduction, the host Yuan Hai smiled and said, "Actually, we are all kendo enthusiasts."

"Are you all practicing kendo? No wonder the host looks so strong." Uncle Maori nodded and praised the old man.

Fellow kendo enthusiast?

Lin Feng and Conan couldn't help but look at the antique shop owner Sakura Masazo.

This stomach can fit two Conans in it. It doesn’t look like he normally does any exercise.

And the host looks almost 70 years old...

"I heard that your temple seems to have a Buddha statue that is only consecrated once every twelve years?" Uncle Maori talked about the news he heard in the taxi.

"Yes, that is the main Buddha of this temple, Medicine Buddha." The abbot Yuanhai nodded and said.

"It will be open to the public the day after tomorrow, right?" Xiaolan asked curiously.

It is only shown once every twelve years, and everyone happened to catch this event. "The donor is thoughtful, and I think Medicine Buddha will be very happy." The old man who presided over the event said with his hands clasped together and his face unchanged.

The other three outsiders didn't show anything, but when the disciple Long Yuan heard this, his expression was a little strange...

……

In the main hall of Shanneng Temple.

Long Yuan ushered everyone in and finally told the truth: "In fact, the main Buddha was stolen."

Since the old host and the three men were not around, some words could be said, after all, they were detectives who came to investigate.

"what?!"

"Then what are you going to do the day after tomorrow?" Uncle Maori looked confused and even wanted to pack up and leave.

According to Long Yuan, the Buddha statue was lost eight years ago. Maybe it was sold to some remote place. It definitely wasn't for him to find it, right?

"Hey."

Long Yuan opened the shrine in front of him that enshrined the Buddha statue.

"The one on the left is the Sunlight Bodhisattva, the one on the right is the Moonlight Bodhisattva, and the Medicine Buddha that was originally in the middle was stolen."

"I wanted to call the police right away, but the host stopped me. He said that if we are destined to meet, maybe one day we can meet this Medicine Buddha again."

Uncle Maori was speechless.

This is too open-minded!
"Could it be that the abbot secretly sold the Buddha statue?" Lin Feng asked boldly.

Who is the Yuan Dynasty person?
"The host would not do that kind of thing." Long Yuan immediately shook his head and said.

He didn't show any displeasure. In fact, it was normal to have such doubts. . .

"Speaking of the famous theft of the Buddha statue, could it be that gang of thieves?" Conan asked with a frown.

The person he was talking about was Hotaru Genji, who has been in the spotlight recently. The police just held a press conference yesterday.

The other party is a gang of thieves that has been active for many years, specializing in stealing artworks and Buddha statues.

Lin Feng took out an orange from his pocket and peeled it while saying, "Since you said so, it must be them."

Five members of Genji Hotaru died in succession in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. I wonder if this organization offended someone.

Of course, maybe he was simply targeted by the god of death...

Long Yuan took everyone to a tea room and took out a letter.

There was Shanneng Temple written on the envelope, no stamp, no sender, and no one knew who put it in the mailbox.

There were two pieces of paper in the envelope, one of which read: "If you solve the puzzle of this painting, you will know where the Buddha statue is."

"What is this???"

When Uncle Maori saw the picture on the second piece of paper, he was slightly stunned, and then immediately tilted his head to look at Lin Feng.

Otherwise, let's go?

"Tengu, chicken, Mount Fuji, goldfish..." Lin Feng was speechless.

The background of this painting is five steps.

Counting from the bottom up, the fifth step, which is also the topmost step, is painted with a red cicada, a green Tengu, and a red goldfish from left to right.

Then there is an ink spot between the fifth and fourth steps, and I don’t know if it was put there accidentally.

On the fourth step there is only a golden rooster and a golden loach?

Perhaps influenced by Yuan Tai, Lin Feng felt that this loach looked a bit like an eel.

Looking down further, between the third and second steps, from left to right, are Violet, Tengu and Mount Fuji.

The strange thing is that there is an acorn next to the steps, as if it was added later... (End of this chapter)
