Chapter 663: Here comes a ghost exorcist

 The buns were quickly finished, and a group of people wiped their hands and got ready to work.

However, along the way down, I didn’t see where the “falling forward and hiding on the ground” was.

　　Previously, although some criminal police officers were sent around to look for the missing divine treasure Nobita. But they still have enough manpower to dig out treasures - not to mention a few young and strong detectives, there are several curious employees in the hotel alone who are willing to help.

Relying on the large number of people, Shancun Cao simply divided into two groups on the way here - according to Jiang Xia's two conjectures, after finding the "Front-Falling Ksitigarbha", one group would dig eight meters away from the Ksitigarbha, and the other group would dig eight meters away from the Ksitigarbha. One group dug eight steps with the toes touching the heels, which can be verified efficiently.

However, I walked along the path until I saw two cars crashing into each other in the distance...

 Toru Amuro fell into silence.

  …half of it was because my new car had a flat tire and was suddenly hit. The car behind looked strangely familiar... No wonder Mouri Kogoro was particularly polite to him today.

 The other half is because the place where he parked his car symbolized some kind of sign.

Toru Amuro called out to the policemen who were still moving forward:

"Wait, we've passed it. Go back and look for it again - after our car had a puncture yesterday, I met that front-legged Tibetan dog on the way from the car to the hotel. So it should be there when we come. That part of the road."

"Really?" Officer Yamamura's suspicion broke out again. He looked back and forth and felt that everything on this mountain road looked similar. "What if you mistakenly identified the stones on the roadside as Ksitigarbha? Is the 'Front-Down Hidden' actually still further away? - So many of us were looking for it in the grass just now, but we couldn't find it. But yesterday evening, the light was so dark, and you and Jiang Xia actually saw it just passing by. unreasonable!"

"...because when we passed by yesterday, it looked like it was protruding from the weeds and lying on the road." Toru Amuro said with a smile, "Later, I was worried that it would trip pedestrians or puncture the tires of passing vehicles, so I put it away Helped up."

Jiang Xia nodded, indicating that this was indeed the case.

“…” Yamamura Cao suddenly stopped for a moment.

"Helped up?!" After a moment, he yelled, "-It is used to suppress the evil spirits in the Forest of Gods! No wonder someone died last night... You, you indirect murderer! Did you destroy it on purpose? Master Jizo's posture, you want to take advantage of this to kill people? I have long felt that you don't look like a good person!"

 Conan: “…”

 He was observing Toru Amuro as usual.

At this time, he couldn't help but glance at Yamamura Cao, with a very complicated mood: his own thinking was, to some extent, synchronized with that of this idiot policeman. He, his reasoning is not clean...

"I usually live in Tokyo, and I don't know the legend here about the 'Fighting Ksitigarbha'." Toru Amuro seemed to be unusually calm, looking like a Jiang Xia who encountered a commission, "Anyway, since I missed it, , we can only look back again.”

Hamamura Cao’s face turned blue. Master Ksitigarbha had been there before, so when he came to this holy place to commit suicide, he gained some confidence.

 But now, Jizo is being helped up by the owner of the detective agency with sinister intentions...

Yamamura Cao doesn't want to stay here for a second longer.

However, unfortunately, at this time, everyone else had ignored him. According to the detective, they turned back in the direction they came from to look for Jizo who had been helped up and became less conspicuous.

　　　…”

A gust of dark mountain wind swirled by. Yamamura Cao looked at the retreating figures of the group, shivered miserably, and quickly followed them.

 …

On the way back, I was sent back to Weicong by the enthusiastic police last night because of the "Front Ksitigarbha" lying on the roadside. A group of people could only stare at the weeds carefully and even push away the overgrown areas.

Jiang Xia also picked up a wooden stick and followed the army to poke it here and there. But he knew very well that he would not be able to find the front-end hiding place in this way. Yesterday, after he dug out the clay pot containing 100 million yen, he moved the front-end hiding place into the vacated pit and filled it up. The soil. In this way, without the markers, the local police will spend more time looking for stolen goods, while the passing travelers like them will have no one to care about and can leave first and continue to the next place.

 …

Ten minutes passed, and the shadow of the Aoi House Hotel appeared in front. This means the road is coming to an end.

However, there was still no Jizo lying, standing or prone in the grass.

 A group of people stopped in confusion.

Jiang Xia looked back at the mountain road from where he came, and speculated: "Did the murderer also read the relevant information about the 'Falling Ksitigarbha' from the newspaper, and thought that Ksitigarbha was a key item, so he took it away?"

"If this is the case, the murderer must have died of the curse." Yamamura crossed his arms, nodded seriously, and thought, "Otherwise, let's withdraw the team first and go back to borrow some masters who are good at exorcism. This time The person who guided me was not professional and did not speak well…”

Just as I said this, a few people came running from a distance in the direction of the hotel.

 They are some criminal police officers. Just now, Yamamura Cao asked them to find Shenbao Nobita - judging from the surveillance sent by "Passing Eyes", Shenbao Nobita was the murderer of "Fake Jiang Xia". Since then, he has disappeared and no one has seen him.

At this time, seeing the sudden appearance of these criminal police officers responsible for finding people, Yamamura Cao became nervous: "Did you find his body?"

"...Huh?" The detectives didn't understand why he suddenly said this, and were a little confused, "No, Shenbao is not in the hotel, and he is not in every room. I asked other people, but they all said they didn't know."...What happened to the body? What's going on?

 “Haha, that’s it.”

Yamamura Cao said "Sure enough," and his expression was slightly dull: "We are looking in the wrong place. In fact, we should not be looking for it in the hotel. We should go deeper into the woods - there must be him hanging on the tree in that suicide holy land. figure. Oh, who let the ignorant people move forward and fall to Ksitigarbha?"

　　　…”

 The main diggers last night, Matsuda Jinpei and Miss Spider couldn't help but drift over and knocked on his head.

Shancun was agitated: "Someone! Someone is touching my hair! The head **** must be angry! Go back quickly and ask a master to exorcise ghosts first... Ah no, Lord Tou God, I didn't mean to say you are a ghost! "

Toru Amuro: “…”

He glanced at the criminal police officers standing nearby with embarrassed expressions: "There should be signals around here now. Send people to come and look for them. People here should not be idle. Group into groups and go around nearby places where people may be hiding. . The storm was so violent yesterday, the murderer might not choose to escape in the middle of the night. If he ran away after the rain, it would inevitably leave traces nearby."
