Ke Xue: I picked up a bottle of sherry at the beginning.

Bai Quanyi nodded in agreement: "So, this is why you were attacked before."

66. Medicine Buddha's Lapis Lazuli Light Objects Returned to Their Original Owner

Shiraizumi continued, "Furthermore, something has happened within the bandit group. Knowing his own death is imminent, the leader has secretly hidden the statue of Medicine Buddha stolen from Sanno-ji Temple. He has also indicated the location of the treasure on this piece of paper and distributed it to his subordinates."

"I think he left some last words," Hattori Heiji said, his chin in his hand. "For example, the one who found the treasure would be the second leader of the thieves' gang..."

"That's probably how it is," Izumi nodded. "Though these men racked their brains, they couldn't find the treasure. Then, Mr. Sakura, one of the thieves, approached the criminal and tried to work with him. Perhaps impressed by his swordsmanship, he instigated him to kill the other members. Then, the two of them would work together to find the Buddha statue and the white hair, and then split the 573 yuan in stolen money from the statue."

"Among the thieves, Mr. Yingzheng, an art dealer, was the only one with access to this kind of art. That's why he thought he was safe. The criminal pretended to agree to cooperate with Mr. Ying—but he didn't know that he had long planned to kill all his companions and keep the treasure for himself."

"But all of this is based on finding the Buddha statue - so the criminal wants to find the famous detective Hattori Heiji to solve the mystery."

"Indeed, that should be the case. What you said is consistent with what I thought." After listening to Izumi's analysis, Hattori Heiji nodded. "But who is the culprit..."

Shiraizumi said, "As for the weapon that killed Mr. Sakuramasa, the short knife, it was placed in a drink bottle and thrown into the river, letting it float downstream. Then, they logged on to the website and used the transmitter attached to the bottle to locate the bottle and retrieve it! I heard the sound of something falling into the water in Kamogawa, and that's why."

"What a vicious and cunning criminal..." Hattori Heiji already knew everything, his eyes flashing with brilliance, "Then we can't let him get away with it, Nishijo Taiga can't escape."

……

Soon, the two arrived at the address obtained after cracking the code, Foguang Temple. However, someone was already waiting for them and had set a tight trap.

At Foguang Temple, the path leading to the main hall was lined with bright lanterns, each lit by a bonfire. The gates were wide open, creating a strange and suspenseful atmosphere. Two rows of figures dressed in samurai attire and strange masks flanked the main hall, wielding long swords, looking eerie and terrifying. In the middle of the crowd, a figure wearing a Noh actor's mask stood silently, waiting for Hattori Heiji and Shiraizumi Masu to fall into its trap.

The men who were lying in ambush at Sannoji Temple had already found out the itinerary of Hattori Heiji and Hakuizumi Masu.

"You two are finally here." After a while, the masked man Nishijo Taiga said in a slightly hoarse voice.

Hattori Heiji said, "Nishijo Taiga, what exactly do you want to do?"

"It seems that you already know my true face." Nishijo Taiga took off his mask. "Of course I will kill you two. You know things you shouldn't know, and the only thing you can do is die."

"What!" Hattori Heiji was shocked. He was under a lot of pressure to face so many enemies alone.

"What should we do, Bai Jun?" asked Hattori Heiji.

"Of course, we will fight them to the death." Bai Quanyi said.

"Hey, hey... don't be impulsive. There are a lot of them." Hattori Heiji said.

"Then let's do this... I'll hold them off, and you go call the police..." Bai Quanyi said.

"No. You can't resist so many people alone!" said Hattori Heiji.

"Neither of you can leave."

Nishijo Taikawa and his men, armed with sharp blades, firmly positioned Shiraizumi Masu and Hattori Heiji.

Bai Quanyi said: "Haha...you are very confident?"

Nishijo Taiga said, "Haha... I'm sure to win. You two are dead."

Hattori Heiji said, "Let's have a one-on-one fight if you dare."

Nishijo Taiga chuckled a few times: "Who wants to fight you in a one-on-one duel, you little brat? Go ahead and kill them."

"Bang!" Suddenly a gunshot was heard.

Baiquan Yi held a pistol and shot Nishijo Taiga in the chest.

"Wow—you have no martial ethics."

"What era is this? When you are a robber, you use a knife instead of a gun. Are you stupid?"

Seeing Shiraizumi Masaru holding a gun, Nishijo Taiga's men hesitated. No one wanted to risk being shot. The one who rushed to the front was sure to be shot.

"Damn it, Bai Jun, you actually brought a gun, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I'm a criminal police officer, so of course I have a gun. But I didn't expect these robbers to be so stupid. They actually brought knives but not guns. They're really stupid..."

Hattori Heiji took out his cell phone to call the police. Seeing this, Nishijo Taiga's men scattered.

The other party had a gun and he didn't dare to go up to him. He would just stay and wait to be caught by the police, so of course he chose to run away.

Bai Quanyi was not afraid that this group of people would run away. He just shot and avoided Xijo Dahe's heart. One shot could not kill him. If he kept him alive, the other robbers would be caught sooner or later.

Shiraizumi Masu and Hattori Heiji didn't have to wait too long before the police from Jingdong arrived and took Nishijo Taiga away.

After the police left, Hattori Heiji followed the instructions on the note and successfully found the Medicine Buddha.

"So the Buddha statue is hidden here!" Baiquanyi exclaimed, "It's a pity that Saijo Taiga and the others have been looking for it for so long. Isn't it right in front of us?"

That night after the case was over, Hakuizumi Mashi and Hattori Heiji found the Medicine Buddha statue hidden by the leader in a tower of the temple. Hattori Heiji had plenty of money and didn't care about the Buddha's hair at all. He donated the crystal beads to restore it to its place.

"Whether it's the code paper or the temple itself, they both have the character '玉' (jade) on them, don't they?" Bai Quanyi smiled as he looked at the Medicine Buddha statue, which was decorated with white hair. "So I took a look at this temple... It's very interesting. The structure of the temple buildings also resembles the character '玉' (jade)!"

"I see." Hattori nodded, "And this tower is the point of the jade character in the temple's name..."

The two returned to Sannoji Temple, and 0.2 returned the Yakushi Ruriko to its original owner, marking the end of their trip to Kyoto...

It was already evening when the group returned to the Hattori family home in Osaka. Hattori Heizo was not at home as usual. He was the Superintendent of Police and was very busy, so he had no time to go home.

Shiraizumi Masu and Ai are still staying at the Hattori family, preparing to return to Tokyo early tomorrow morning.

Late at night, when everyone was asleep, Shiraizumi Mashi was invited by Hattori Shizuka to come to her bedroom.

In the dark corridor, only a faint orange light flickered in the bedroom where Hattori Shizuka was.

So he went to Hattori Shizuka's bedroom and knocked on the door.

"Bai Jun, you're here."

"Well... I'm here."

Hattori Shizuka's eyes were as charming as silk, and she was full of charm. Her long hair was tied up and fell to her shoulders. She also wore a very elegant purple transparent satin nightgown, which exuded the charm of an ancient Japanese woman.

67. Countdown to Heaven

Hattori Shizuka's bedroom was not as magnificent as imagined, but rather antique.

The entire Hattori family residence is a traditional Japanese mansion with an antique charm, and the bedroom is no exception.

"Aunt Jinghua, you are finally willing to be frank with me."

Shiraizumi Yoshi was very happy that Hattori Shizuka took the initiative to invite him to bed.

Hattori Shizuka said softly, "Tonight is the last time. After tonight, we will draw a clear line from now on."

"Hehe... Aunt Jinghua, why are you saying such things again? You are such a proud woman." Bai Quanyi smiled and sat beside Hattori Jinghua, his hands not idle either...

Hattori Shizuka slapped Shiraizumi's hand hard and said, "Be serious, I'm talking to you seriously."

Bai Quanyi said: "Alright. If you say it's the last time, then it's the last time... Anyway, I don't care..."

Bai Quanyi didn't care what Hattori Shizuka said at all. The key was to see what she did. In front of him, Hattori Shizuka was a woman who said one thing and meant another. He had long understood her temper.

"It's a deal... Tomorrow, when you return to 28 Tokyo, you'll forget about me..."

"I can't bear to forget you, never."

"It's up to you. I have nothing to do with you in the future anyway." After saying this, Hattori Shizuka immediately became proactive and gave Baiquan Yi unforgettable love.

In fact, Shizuka Hattori didn't have too many ideas, she just wanted to borrow the power of Shizumi Hakusen to cultivate a Nascent Soul that was truly her own. Shizumi Hakusen met Shizuka Hattori's standards in every aspect, so Shizuka Hattori had this idea in mind, wanting to create a Nascent Soul that was truly her own, and that's why she took the initiative to find Shizumi Hakusen on the last day.

At the end of that night, Shirazumi and Ai flew back to Tokyo. Shirazumi went to work as usual, and Ai went to school as usual.

The trip to Osaka left an unforgettable memory for Shiraizumi Masu. Even after returning to Tokyo, Shiraizumi was still obsessed with Hattori Shizuka...

……

"Wow! What a tall building!"

Sitting in Baiquanyi's Mitsubishi car, Xiao Ai looked at the two tall buildings in the distance outside the car window and exclaimed.

"Those are the new twin skyscrapers in Nishitama City," Shiraizumi Mashi said, glancing in his direction as he drove. "They're 319 and 294 meters tall, respectively. They're the tallest buildings in Japan, and naturally, our destination this time."

"Nishitama City?" Hearing these words, Xiao Ai's eyes moved slightly, "Isn't that..."

"Ah, that's right." Shiraizumi nodded. "The scandal involving the former mayor of Nishitama City, Okamoto, was related to this building."

"This isn't something to be proud of..." Xiao Ai complained, "So why are we here this time? If it's something boring, I'll choose to go back."

"It's just an opening ceremony." Shiraizumi Masu sped up a bit. "The Tokiwa Group, the owner of the twin skyscrapers in Nishitama City, invited me to attend their opening ceremony."

"Isn't the opening ceremony of the Tokiwa Group held the day after tomorrow?" Ai recalled the news she had seen about the Tokiwa Group. There was a lot of news about the completion of the Gemini Skyscrapers. "Why are we here today? Or, what do you think of the beautiful Tokiwa Mio, the chairman of the Tokiwa Group, who is alone?"

"What ideas can I have?" Bai Quanyi was speechless. Mrs. Kudo lived next door to his house. He could always ask Mrs. Kudo to solve his needs whenever he needed them. Was it necessary?

After parking the car, Shiraizumi Masu took Ai towards the Gemini skyscrapers, but saw Mouri Kogoro getting out of a taxi, followed by Conan, Ran and Sonoko.

Bai Quanyi took the initiative to step forward and greeted, "Uncle Maori, you are here too."

"Eh? Shiraizumi Masu!" Maori Kogoro looked at Shiraizumi Masu in surprise. Then, he cleared his throat vigorously and put on a proud expression as if he was about to give a speech. "The owner of this building, Tokiwa Mio, is my junior in college. She specially invited me to visit before the opening!"

"Schoolgirl?" Conan raised his eyebrows. Although he came here with Maori, Maori hid the reason very well and didn't let them know. "Uncle has this kind of thing?"

Conan thought he had lowered his voice, but at such a close distance, Kogoro Mouri could still hear it clearly, and his face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

"Kid!" Maori growled in frustration.

"This Tokiwa Mio is the daughter of the Tokiwa Group!" Sonoko chuckled, looking at Maori Kogoro with a hint of ridicule in her eyes, "Besides, she's single!"

　573 "Oh? This is the first time I hear about this, Sonoko, you know a lot..." Kogoro Mouri's eyes lit up.

Xiaolan coughed and said, "Dad, you must not do anything to let Mom down."

Maori Kogoro said disdainfully: "I have never wronged your mother, only your mother has wronged me."

"Dad! How can you say that!" Ran Mouri and Kogoro Mouri confronted each other.

Sonoko quickly tried to smooth things over and said, "Okay, Xiaolan, it's thanks to your father that we can visit the Twin Towers. Don't argue with your father."

Xiaolan snorted: "Dad, I don't want to pay attention to you."

So, she ran to Bai Quanyi and said, "Bai Jun, you won't mind if I go with you."

"Ah? Of course not - Miss Mori..." Baiquanyi smiled gently.

Sonoko and Conan were dumbfounded, each with their own thoughts.

Sonoko thought to herself, Xiaolan is faster than me, I underestimated her, I have to work harder too.

Conan thought, it's Shirazumi again, with ulterior motives towards my sister Ran.

68. Ran and Sonoko Ten Years Later

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Maori Kogoro?" At this moment, a beautiful woman with short hair walked out of the building and smiled politely at Maori Kogoro. "I am Sawaguchi, the chairman's secretary. The chairman is in a meeting, and she asked me to show you around the showroom."

"Okay, okay." Maori Kogoro nodded hurriedly and walked into the building. The others followed.

"By the way, what does the Tokiwa Group do?" In the elevator leading to the exhibition room, Sonoko looked at the surrounding environment and couldn't help but ask.

"It's mainly computer software." Sonoko, who had some knowledge of this, said, "Although it's mainly software, I heard that they also do anything related to computers!"

Lobby on the second floor.

"There are so many fun things!" Looking at the game facilities that almost cover the entire second floor, Conan couldn't help but exclaim, "This is much more fun than what the doctor made!"

Xiao Ai said, "Edogawa, you are still a child."

Conan said angrily: "Habara, you are obviously too!"

"Welcome everyone." A man in a brown suit and glasses walked into the hall with a smile. "It's been a while since it's been this lively here."

"This is the director and engineer, Mr. Hara Yoshiaki." Secretary Sawaguchi introduced hurriedly.

"Ah, what is this machine?" At this time, Conan pointed at a strange machine curiously, "Is this also an amusement park?"

"Would you like to try it?" Yuan Jiaming came over with a smile. "That's a magical machine that can predict your facial expressions and appearance ten years from now..."

Conan stepped back in fear, laughing awkwardly, "I don't need it..."

Sonoko and Xiaolan became interested and walked over.

Sonoko said, "It seems very interesting."

Bai Quanyi said, "Xiaolan, do you want to try it?"

Xiaolan nodded: "Yeah... I'm curious too."

"I don't want to see my aged face in ten years!" complained Kogoro Mouri.
