Science solves cases? No, I am an immortal cultivator!

the next morning.

"Buried gold?"

Kitagawa Taki looked at Hattori Heiji and Toyama Kazuha who was sitting on the side and didn't dare to look at him.

Hattori Heiji explained: "A man claiming to be the chief of Sukuri Village sent me a letter saying that he had found clues to the Tokugawa family's buried gold and asked for help in digging for the treasure."

Beichuan Taki asked curiously, "Why would you ask me for something like this?"

He has no interest in such illusory treasures.

If Hattori Heiji wants to call someone to join him, he should also call his good friend Conan.

What Kitagawa Taki didn't know was that Hattori Heiji had already called Conan, but Conan was sick and couldn't go.

Hattori Heiji grinned, revealing his large white teeth. "I've inquired about that village. I heard there's a legend about the monster Nue there."

"Oh?"

Kitagawa Taki immediately became interested. He had heard of the monster Nue, but this was an opportunity.

"Where?"

"Shizuoka Prefecture." Hattori Heiji knew that Kitagawa Taki would definitely be interested.

Beichuan Taki nodded and asked, "Is it okay for me to bring another person?"

Hearing this, Yuanshan Heye turned around and asked, "Xiaolan?"

Beichuan Taki smiled at her and said, "No."

Yuanshan Heye frowned. It wasn't Xiaolan. Could it be another woman?

Hattori Heiji said, "It's okay. I've already told the village chief that there will be about four or five of us going."

"Okay then, when do we leave?"

Hattori Heiji looked at his watch and said, "Call the people over here, we'll leave now."

Yuanshan Heye asked tentatively: "Do we know that person?"

"Maybe he knows her." Kitagawa Taki took out his phone, found Mizunashi Rena's number, looked up at Toyama Kazuha, and teased, "Why, Kazuha is so concerned about my affairs?"

Hattori Heiji's face twitched. Why did he feel that there was something else behind Kitagawa's words?

Toyama Kazuha was filled with shame and anger. She glanced at Hattori Heiji and quickly denied it: "I, I didn't!"

She only cared about who that person was because of Xiaolan.

The call was connected. "Hello, Reina, it's me. I have a request..."

Reina?

It turned out to be a woman!

Xiaolan, ah...

Toyama Kazuha sighed in her heart. Although she really wanted to help Xiaolan see the true face of Kitagawa Taki, she had no choice but to use leverage over him.

It was obvious that Kitagawa Taki was the one who did the bad thing, but because she couldn't help herself for a moment, she now feels very embarrassed facing Kitagawa Taki.

station.

Kitagawa Taki didn't drive, they took the Shinkansen.

Yuanshan Heye covered her mouth and looked at the beautiful woman in front of her with some surprise: "Are you Mizunashi Rena?"

"Hello." Rena Mizunashi nodded and greeted with a smile.

Kitagawa Taki introduced her to Hattori Heiji and the incident.

"So that's how it is. Since I'm somewhat interested in monsters, I asked Kitagawa to call me when he encounters such a commission. I'm sorry to trouble you." Mizuno Rena bowed slightly.

Yuanshan Heye quickly said: "No, no."

It turned out that she had misunderstood. The two of them did not have that kind of relationship at all. She couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

……

After arriving in Shizuoka Prefecture, the village chief, Donsuke Takekuma, drove to pick us up.

Takekuma Donsuke smiled and said, "Mr. Hattori, welcome to our place, and also to the friends you brought with you. I hope you can all dig up gold. This is a matter that concerns the fate of our Sukuri Village!"

Beichuan Taki asked, "Mr. Village Chief, I heard there's a legend about the Nue here?"

"Oh, that's true. Let's talk about the details when we get there!" Takekuma Donsuke kept the other person in suspense.

It was past three in the afternoon when everyone finally arrived at the hotel arranged by the village chief.

Hattori Heiji looked at the "old antique" hotel in front of him and complained: "Are you kidding me? Do you really want us to stay in this shabby hotel?"

Takekumadonosuke smiled and said, "It's a little outdated from the outside, but it's big enough and the inside has been cleaned."

He looked at the nearby pond and said, "Many tourists used to come to enjoy the beauty of the Black Gold Pond, so this hotel was actually quite good. But after that accident, it fell into decline."

There it is, that accident!

Kitagawa Taki had a premonition that something was probably going to happen.

Yuanshan Heye asked curiously: "What was that accident?"

"Sixteen years ago, a foreign member of the Tokugawa gold mining team met with an accident while digging and unfortunately passed away."

An old man with a white beard came over. It was the archaeologist Michiki Tanzawa who was invited by the village chief.

Hattori Heiji asked, "Is there an excavation team? Is the Tokugawa family's treasure really buried here?"

Tanzawa Michiki nodded and said, "Yes, Sunpu Castle, where Tokugawa Ieyasu lived in seclusion and died, is in Shizuoka Prefecture."

Historian Somechi Kangke came over from the other side and interrupted:

"There's also a legend that says an elderly couple hid Tokugawa Ieyasu, who was nearly captured by Imagawa, in this Black Gold Forest. After he pacified the world, he rewarded them with many gold coins."

Takekuma Donsuke introduced with a smile: "There is a nursery rhyme circulating in the village! The morning sun shines brightly, the evening sun shines brightly, and in the iron urn, there are a thousand pieces of gold in two thousand jars."

Novelist Masuko Fumie exclaimed, "If there really were two thousand iron urns filled with a thousand gold pieces, that would be truly fantastical!"

Beichuan Taki curled his lips. If there really was so much gold, how many tons would it be?

Yuanshan Heye said: "Doesn't that mean there must be two million gold coins? If that's true, that would be great!"

"To me, the two young ladies are more like glittering treasures!"

A short young man with a flat head appeared out of nowhere and tried to put his arm around Rena Mizunoshi's shoulder, but Rena Mizunoshi dodged him easily.

Seeing that he failed, he went to pick up the distant mountains and leaves nearby.

Just as Hattori Heiji was about to move, Kitagawa Taki was faster than him. He grabbed the young man's hand and twisted it slightly, "Your hands don't seem to be very clean."

Tsurumi Hajime was in so much pain that he grimaced: "My hand, my hand is going to break!"

As soon as Kitagawa Taki let go, Tsurumi Hajime stumbled and fell to the ground in a mess.

He shook his hands, stood up, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "She is your girlfriend?"

It was as if he wasn't the one who had just made a fool of himself.

Beichuan Taki ignored this shameless guy. He was not a bloodthirsty person, but if this guy didn't know what was good for him, he wouldn't mind having another dead soul on his hands.

But Hattori Heiji was not happy when he heard this. He grabbed Tsurumi Hajime's collar and said, "Hey, kid, who are you?"

The village chief hurried over to separate the two men.

Tsurumi Hajime adjusted his collar. "I'm a reporter searching for monster legends."

Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he came closer to Mizunashi Reina and asked excitedly, "Is this Miss Mizunashi Reina from Nichimi TV?"
