Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 438: Indeed a Treasure Map

At Sanneng Temple, everyone gathered in the courtyard outside the meditation room, and Gao Cheng and Conan Hattori also sat down beside them.

Hattori whispered: "Is this uncle okay?"

"Who knows," Gao Cheng shook his head, "Let's take a look first and then talk about it."

This time, from receiving the news to investigating in person in Kyoto, the case is still in the stage of collecting clues. It's good for the uncle to go through it like this, and maybe he can catch some clues.

First, Sakura Masao was killed face to face, and Hattori was repeatedly attacked. The murderer cannot be allowed to continue rampant...

"Anyway, that's the way it is," Uncle Mori glanced at the crowd and landed on the dancer Qian Heling who was removing makeup, "As far as I know, Miss Qian He Ling's biological mother used to be a geisha in a tea house in Miyagawa Town. Miss Qian He Ling was five years old. At that time, her biological mother died of illness, and because she was an unmarried mother, Miss Qianhe was adopted by Ms. Yamakura, the proprietress of the tea house, right?"

"Hmm." Qian Heling didn't know what the uncle wanted to say, but just looked at it with her adoptive mother and nodded.

"Although I don't know who Miss Qianhe's biological father is, someone sends money to the tea house anonymously every month," the uncle said in a deep voice, "but it's strange that no money has been sent since three months... If I I'm not mistaken, Miss Qianga's biological father is actually Yoshitsune, leader of the bandit group Minamoto Hotaru!"

"what?"

"It is very likely that Yoshitsune was betrayed by his subordinates and unfortunately killed three months ago, so the money sent to the tea house will stop there." Uncle Mao Li pointed at Qian Heling, "This is your motive!"

"Hey, uncle," Hattori couldn't help but interjected, "You don't mean that Miss Qianhe is the murderer, right? It's just a wild guess! The murderer who attacked me was definitely not Miss Qianhe, and..."

Hattori looked at Qian Heling and the others: "Mr. Sakura's blood has been tested on the short knife, and the wound also matches... Ms. Qian Heling who can't handle the murder weapon, how could they be the murderer?"

"What if Ms. Chiga has another accomplice? Like Benkei?"

Uncle Mori snorted coldly and put his hands together: "As for who Benkei is...Officer Ayanokōji, it's you!"

"Eh?!" Everyone's eyes widened.

"I remember that police officer Ayanokōji rushed to the tea house immediately after the homicide happened last night, and he didn't bring the squirrel with him..." Uncle Maori affirmed, "Ms. Two things, the dagger and the squirrel of Police Officer Ayanokōji, the squirrel is the key to this incident!

"Miss Chiga,

Yesterday you pretended to accompany Mr. Mizuo to the bathroom, then took the opportunity to kill Mr. Sakura in the warehouse, then tied the dagger to the squirrel that was hidden in the cabinet beforehand, let it out from the basement window, and let it swim downstream along the river. Then police officer Ayanokōji will pick it up..."

"Please," Hattori interrupted speechlessly, "The murderer is a master of bow and arrow and swordsmanship, but Ms. Qianga is still a beginner in bow and arrow who will hurt Yamao. As for Officer Ayanokōji..."

Ayanokōji frowned: "How could I do such a troublesome thing?!"

"Mr. Mao Li!" Qian Heling's adoptive mother said angrily, "The dancer is busy performing and receiving guests every day, how can she have that time to kill people?!"

"Uh, this..."

"That's right, Uncle," Conan followed, "Officer Ayanokōji's squirrel is so small, it shouldn't be able to carry a dagger, right?"

Uncle Mori had a dizzy head, but his forehead twitched when he saw Conan: "Stop talking! I'll prove it to you right now! Officer Ayanokōji, can I borrow your squirrel for a while?"

By the pool in the courtyard, the furious Uncle Mao Li tied a wooden fish hammer that almost hit the short knife to the little squirrel.

"Hey, squirrel, jump for me!"

The uncle poked the squirrel standing motionless on the rock: "Bastard, you deliberately ignored me to get rid of the crime, right?!"

"I really can't bear to watch..."

Gao Cheng rolled his eyes and looked at the people leaving one after another in thought.

Although the uncle is a little nonsense, but there are some things that may not be wrong...

On the surface, everyone who seemed unable to deal with the murder weapon would not be the murderer, but judging from the way the murderer attacked Hattori last night, it seemed that they deliberately left clues, and deliberately left the murder knife behind.

Thinking about it this way, people like Qian Heling became even more suspicious.

If the accomplices were not considered, after Qian Heling was ruled out first, Xijo Taihe and Monk Longyuan were suspicious. Both of them went to the toilet alone. If the accomplices were considered, Mizuo was also suspected.

Moreover, when Hattori was attacked, none of them had an alibi...

In Pontocho, behind the tea house, Gaocheng took advantage of Hattori and Conan to continue studying the treasure map in Sannoji Temple, and walked alone to the embankment between the Sui River and the Kamo River.

The Xi River is a small river under the tea house, and it is also the place where the murderer might dispose of the murder weapon. If it is not through the squirrel, there are actually other methods, such as disguising a short knife and putting it in a longer bottle to float downstream with the current.

Even if there is no accomplice, it is still possible to install a positioning device in the bottle to track it. It is not impossible to recover it in time afterwards. After all, Conan's glasses are not the only ones in this world that have tracking functions...

But anyone can do this method, and the most important thing now is the evidence.

Gao Cheng raised his elbows.

Regarding the treasure map of the Buddha statue, he and Xiao Ai studied it for a long time and didn't know why.

"Wow!" Regardless of the couples around him, Gao Cheng's thoughts quickly entered a high-speed state, and the surrounding space changed and the sound faded away. Instead, the whole incident and the details of the treasure map were clearly displayed in front of him.

The treasure map is not complicated. The whole is a step like a Doll's Day doll shelf. The fifth floor on the top is painted with red cicadas, green tengus and red goldfish, and the fourth floor is yellow chickens and yellow goldfish. Loach, with an ink dot next to it.

Below that is between the second and third floors, with paintings of violets, green tengus and purple Mt. Fuji, with an acorn outside...

Regardless of the acorns outside, connect other patterns of the same color and add ink dots, it looks like a jade character, and then the acorns outside seem to be a reminder...

A mother and son next to him passed by Gao Cheng, and the child looked at Gao Cheng strangely and said coquettishly to his mother, "Mom, I'm hungry."

"Eat some biscuits to press your stomach first, and mother will cook when I get back..."

The voice returned to his ears, Gao Cheng withdrew from the thinking world, stopped the mother and son and said, "Sorry, do you have any special meaning for the acorns here in Kyoto?"

"Acorn?" the woman bit her lip and said, "If you want to talk about acorns, I just think of acorns rolling and rolling, and I really don't know anything else..."

"Acorn roll, roll?"

"Eh? Don't you know this nursery rhyme?"

"Mom," the child said holding the woman, "Hurry up and go back!"
