I, Kudo Shinichi, the rice flower death god

He lowered his head and muttered to himself.

At the same time and in the same place, it is difficult not to think of the connection between these two things.

Especially when it happened to happen when I started investigating the thieves gang 3.3.

"It seems you recovered very quickly!"

When Shinichi said this, it was equivalent to admitting his suspicion.

What this guy picked up eight years ago was indeed the white hair on the Buddha statue.

It was accidentally dropped by a gang of thieves while transporting the Buddha statue.

Unexpectedly, Hattori Heiji picked it up and used it as a token of his first love.

"No! Since you knew that, why did you let those people take the things away?!"

Walking to the car window, Hattori Heiji asked sharply.

"If we don't let those guys succeed, how can we find their lair?"

Shinichi waved the phone screen in front of this guy's eyes and said calmly.

"Moreover, the real Bai Hao has been returned to its original owner."

"Return to the original owner?"

……

Inside the Sannou Temple, there was Shinichi's guidance, combined with the code papers collected from the killed members of the thieves' gang.

Heye soon found the temple's treasure, the Medicine Buddha Buddha statue, which had been lost eight years ago from the hidden compartment of the bell tower in the temple.

only……

"Where is the pekoe? Master! The pekoe on the Buddha statue is missing!"

Pointing to the eyebrows of the Buddha statue, Master Longyuan, who was so happy just now, showed an eager expression again.

"Don't worry, if there is a chance, Buddha will naturally send the peko back."

The old host still looked calm and said calmly.

"What a pity, I am not Buddha!"

At this moment, a crisp female voice sounded outside the door.

Holding the precious white hair in his hand, the afterlife Tong walked in with a smile after taking off his disguise.

Chapter 397: Being a thief has a guilty conscience!

　　Hattori Heiji was undoubtedly quite disappointed that Shinichi solved the case one step ahead of him.

He specially used the antidote for emergencies and hurried to Kyoto in order to defeat Shinichi for once in a head-on confrontation.

He could still use the reason that his body had become smaller as an excuse for his previous failures.

But now that he has returned to his original state, if he tries to make excuses again, he will look like he cannot afford to lose.

"But how on earth did he do it?"

As he pushed his nearly scrapped motorcycle on the road, Hattori Heiji kept thinking about this issue in his mind.

According to the information he received from his father, it should be Shinichi's first time coming into contact with this case.

In less than a day, the relationship between the Buddha statue theft case eight years ago and the serial murder cases in the past few days can be sorted out clearly, and a plan can be formulated to let the murderer throw himself into the trap.

Is this something a normal human being can do? !

If Hattori Heiji had previously regarded Shinichi as a goal to strive to surpass.

Now, he no longer has the fighting spirit to pursue this goal.

Loss is a true portrayal of his heart at this moment.

In addition, the white hair that he regarded as a token of his first love has been returned to its original owner and has been re-embedded on the Buddha statue of Medicine Buddha.

He feels that he is not well!

Could it be that the little girl was really just a dream she had after she fell?

Thinking of this, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but start to doubt life.

Facing a childhood sweetheart like He Ye, he never expressed anything, just because he was still thinking about his first love.

What now?

First love may be a dream, and your childhood sweetheart may have run away with someone else.

"Ahhh! It's so hard for me!!!"

After throwing down the motorcycle, Hattori Heiji, who was extremely regretful, was about to grab the ground with his head when he suddenly heard a sweet song.

It is a very famous children's song that connects the names of all the east-west streets in Kyoto from north to south.

The most important thing is that his first love was singing this children's song and patting the ball at the same time!

Looking around, he saw a young woman wearing a kimono and the traditional maiko makeup of Sakura Country.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing Hattori Heiji kneeling on the ground, and looking at the tattered motorcycle beside him, the woman in kimono thought it was a poor man who had just been in a car accident.

She immediately knelt down gracefully and handed over a handkerchief.

This made a certain black chicken show an expression of infatuation.

"Excuse me, are you a native of Kyoto?"

"Huh? Yes."

"What about age?"

"19 years old!"

The kimonoed woman was stunned and subconsciously answered the question, wondering why the dark-skinned young man in front of her could ask such a question.

"Local...local..."

Little did she know that her answer had already made Hattori Heiji start to have wild thoughts.

The age and hometown match, and they are all wearing kimonos and makeup!

Yes!Must be!

She is the first love I am looking for!

Hattori Heiji, who was at the lowest point in his life, completely lost his mind at this moment, stubbornly believing that this was the reunion arranged by God!

The kimono woman was still a little worried about the physical condition of the man in front of her, so she kindly invited him to take a rest at the nearby bar where she worked.

……

"Amitabha, donor in the next life, thank you so much for everything you have done for this temple!"

Here at Shannou Temple, Master Ryūen put his palms together and thanked him sincerely.

He thought he would never see this Medicine Buddha statue again in his lifetime!

"Haha, you're welcome. It's probably because you have a connection with the Buddha statue!"

Miss Hitomi smiled in her next life, her words full of teasing.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

This made the old abbot beside him a little embarrassed.

After all, as soon as he said this, the Buddha statue was found, and even the precious white hair was sent back.

No matter how you look at it, it feels like you are slapping yourself in the face.

Even with Abbot Yuanhai's Buddhist practice, he couldn't help but blush, and could only cough to cover up his embarrassment.

"Sister Xiaotong, how's it going with Shinichi?"

Kazuye approached Lai Shengtong and asked hurriedly.

"Don't you know what that guy is capable of? There must be no problem! Just stop looking so worried!"

Facing this girl who was similar in age to his sister, Hitomi Afterlife still had a good impression and teased with a smile.

"No way! My expression is normal!"

Saying this, Kazuye still covered his face with his hands.

In the wing room, Master Long Yuan and Abbot Yuan Hai also wanted to clean up the Buddha statues.

It has been hidden in the attic for eight years. Fortunately, the Buddha statue was cast with exquisite craftsmanship, so it did not rust or peel off the paint.

Walking to the cherry blossom tree in the temple yard, Kazuha suddenly looked at the future Hitomi curiously.

"By the way, Sister Xiaotong, how did you learn the art of disguise? Can you teach me?"

When she was replaced before, it was the first time she saw the afterlife Hitomi.

Just out of trust in Shinichi and time constraints, she didn't ask any more questions.

Now that she has some free time, of course she wants to satisfy her curiosity.

Especially the magical disguise technique.

You know, when she saw Hitomi transform into another version of herself out of thin air in the next life, she almost screamed out in surprise.

"This... is actually our family's secret skill!"

Naturally, Hitomi couldn't say that she learned from the first-generation Kaitou Kidd in her next life.

"I can teach you, but it will take a lot of effort. Are you okay?"

"Huh? Is it difficult?"

He Ye hesitated and asked tentatively.

"The disguise itself is not difficult, but it takes a lot of effort to make it look exactly like the person you are disguising!"

After briefly explaining the basic principles of the disguise technique, Afterlife Tong said earnestly.
