Non-mainstream Conan viewing style
Chapter 533: The Crossroads of the Maze (3)
Maori Kogoro and his party finally arrived at Sannoji Temple. As soon as they entered the temple gate, passers-by warmly thanked them: "Thank you for your patronage!" Maori Kogoro smiled and waved his hand in response: "No thanks, no thanks..."
As soon as we entered the temple, Sakura Masao was whispering to others: "Don't tell anyone about what I told you last time..."
Before he finished speaking, a monk named Long Yuan came over. He was about 20 or 30 years old and was the contact person of Shanneng Temple.
"Mr. Maori, welcome to come from afar!" Long Yuan greeted warmly, then turned to the abbot and introduced, "This is the abbot, Master Yuanhai." Master Yuanhai is sixty-five years old, but still looks energetic.
Long Yuan pointed to the three donors next to him and introduced them: "This is Mr. Sakura Masazo, who runs an antique shop on Teramachi Street; the one next to him is Mr. Mizuo Harutaro, the young successor of Noh drama Mizuo Ryu; and this is Mr. Nishijo Taikawa, who runs an antique bookstore."
Saijo Taiga politely greeted him, "Please take care of me." Ryuen then added, "Rather than saying we are donors, it's better to say we are all kendo enthusiasts. Mr. Maori, you see, everyone is practicing kendo! No wonder the abbot looks so energetic."
Mao Lilan asked curiously: "I heard that there is a secret treasure in the temple that is only exhibited once every twelve years?" Master Yuanhai smiled and nodded: "Yes, that is the statue of Medicine Buddha." Suzuki Sonoko excitedly said: "The day after tomorrow is the day for viewing, right? We also want to see it, so we came here specially." Master Yuanhai smiled kindly and said: "Then Medicine Buddha will also be very happy..."
However, when the group arrived at the main hall, they heard shocking news. Maori Kogoro cried out, "What?! The main Buddha statue was stolen?!" Long Yuan nodded heavily, "Yes, that was eight years ago." He pointed to both sides and said, "The one on the right is the Sunlight Bodhisattva, and the one on the left is the Moonlight Bodhisattva. But the Tathagata Buddha statue in the middle is missing..."
Everyone came to the living room and sat down. Long Yuan continued, "I wanted to call the police right away, but the abbot stopped me. He said, 'If it's predestined, maybe he'll come back.'" Maori Kogoro sighed, "How can you be so open-minded!"
Long Yuan smiled helplessly: "Eight years have passed. Just five days ago, this letter was found in the mailbox of the temple - there was no stamp and no sender's name." As he spoke, he unfolded the letter and read: "As long as we solve the mystery of this painting, we will know where the Buddha statue is."
Maori Kogoro opened it and was puzzled: "What kind of painting is this?"
Hattori Heiji came out of a teahouse in Kyoto: "Thanks, uncle!"
But he muttered to himself: "Sure enough, it is extremely difficult to find witnesses for a case that happened in the early morning..." Before he could finish his sigh, suddenly, a burst of noise broke the silence.
"Robber!" a passerby screamed. A robber rushed over with a fierce look on his face, "Get out of the way! Don't block the road!"
Hattori Heiji was quick to pull down the curtain next to him and tripped the robber. The robber fell to the ground and screamed in pain: "It hurts! Remember this!"
Hattori Heiji joked, "You hit Benkei's sore spot, and it hurts a lot!" As he said that, he returned the stolen wallet to the passerby.
At this time, a woman who was about 52 years old and looked very kind came over. She introduced herself and said, "My family runs a teahouse in Miyagawa Town. My name is Yamakura Tae. Thank you so much for what you did just now, little brother! Come on, introduce yourself too!"
A 19-year-old maiko wearing a kimono beside her also quickly agreed: "Yes, my name is Qian He Ling, please take care of me."
Yamakura Tae said gratefully: "How can we thank you? Little brother, you really helped us a lot!"
Hattori Heiji waved his hand modestly: "No, it's not a big deal. It's just a small favor."
Chiga Ling also smiled sweetly and said: "Remember to come to the store to play next time! Be careful on your way back!" Hattori Heiji nodded: "Thank you..."
