The quarrel between Mori Kogoro and Sonoko in front of the train station had no scruples, and it looked like a father-daughter quarrel to outsiders.

But this is normal, the site of the garden was originally Xiaolan's childhood sweetheart, and the garden can be said to have been watched by Mori Kogoro.

Under such circumstances, the relationship between the two parties is naturally unusual. Even if the two have no blood relationship, it is not uncommon for the two of them to quarrel after more than ten years of relationship.

"Okay Dad, Tang Ze and Ayako are here too, let's set off quickly." After stopping the quarrel between her brother and best friend, Xiaolan started talking about the business: "Don't you say that the client is still waiting?"

"Understood, let's start now, to Sannoji Temple." Kogoro Mori stretched out his hand to stop the car: "But we have a large number of people, so we may have to take two cars."

"It's okay, we have transportation, you just need to take the car first." Tang Ze smiled and said: "We will catch up with you later, and we have prepared the map."

"Sanneng Temple is not too far away." Ayako looked at the map and found her location first: "Go north first, then go west."

Seeing how the two of them were carefully identifying the direction, Mori Kogoro and the others showed doubts on their faces: "Is there a means of transportation? What have you prepared?"

Just when Ayako was about to explain, two motorcycles drove over from across the road and stopped in front of them: "Miss, young master, the motorcycle you requested has been delivered."

After the motorcycle stopped, a bodyguard pushed a black off-road motorcycle in front of Tang Ze, and then took out two helmets from the back backpack: "This is a helmet that has just been unpacked. Be careful on the road."

"I'm sorry to bother you to make a special trip." Tang Ze took the black helmet and handed the white one to Ayako.

"The motorcycle has been delivered, and we will go back." The bodyguard in a suit bowed slightly and smiled at Yuanzi: "Goodbye, Miss Yuanzi."

"I didn't expect that the means of transportation my brother-in-law mentioned was the motorcycle you sent me." Sonoko suddenly looked envious, "That's great, you can wander around Kyoto freely with a motorcycle."

"Second Miss, if you need a motorcycle, we still have one here." The bodyguard said with a smile, intending to give Yuanzi the tools for their return journey: "It's just that the performance may not be as good as the one driven by the young master."

"Ah, forget it, I don't have a driver's license either."

Yuanzi waved his hands quickly when he heard the words, looked at his elder sister who was sticking tightly to Tang Ze's back behind the car, and felt that he had been stuffed with dog food again: "And I can't take me, Ah Zhen went to the competition. there is no time..."

"But I heard from my mother that you played with your little boyfriend in the past two days, but you didn't come home until late every time~"

Ayako laughed and teased her sister when she heard the words: "Why, Xiao Biesheng is newly married, so I'm panicking after only seeing you for a few days?"

"What are you talking about, sister!"

Yuanzi's cheeks flushed instantly when she heard her elder sister's ridicule, and she wanted to jump up: "We're just going out to eat and watch a movie,"

"Ah, that's what I meant." Ayako covered her mouth and smiled like a fox: "What do you understand?"

"I'm ignoring you!" Sonoko "can't fight" Ayako, so he can only run away in a panic and run to Xiaolan's side to seek comfort.

"Okay, you guys go back."

Tang Ze explained to the two of them who were coming to send the car, then put on the helmet and started the motorcycle, looked at Kogoro Mori and his group with a smile and said, "Then let's go first."

The motorcycle started roaring and disappeared around the corner in the blink of an eye.

"It's great, I also want to have a boyfriend who is as versatile as my brother-in-law and take me around Kyoto on a motorcycle."

Watching the two go away, the shy Sonoko returned to his original state, and watched the two go away with his hands clasped together and directly entered the fantasy state.

"It's really chic. Rich people can bring their own transportation locally when they travel." Mori Kogoro said a little sourly, but there was undisguised envy in his eyes.

"No, brother-in-law, he rides a motorcycle just to facilitate the investigation of the case."

Yuanzi on the side defended his brother-in-law: "Didn't there be a serial murder case of killing a gang of thieves some time ago? Brother-in-law, he came here to investigate this case."

"I remember that Criminal Tang Ze seemed to have just returned from abroad." Mori Kogoro complained after hearing the words: "You are really enthusiastic enough."

"Father, please pay more attention to the relevant information." Xiaolan who was on the side heard the words and said, "What if we find something."

"Let's leave that to the current criminal. Let's solve the entrustment first."

Mori Kogoro snorted and waved to stop a taxi: "And Tang Ze is with us, it proves that he is also very interested in this commission."

"That's right! After my brother-in-law heard about your client, Uncle, he said that it's really strange that the temple commissioned Uncle Maori at this juncture, and it may be related."

Yuanzi walked towards the taxi and said, "Well...brother-in-law said so after hearing it. I think it's impossible for uncle's entrustment to be related to the case."

"It's better not." Mori Kogoro snorted upon hearing this, "I don't want to be involved in such a troublesome case.

It is best to complete the commission early and drink the local fine wine in Kyoto~"

"Father is real!" Looking at her father's appearance of indulging in fantasy, Xiaolan reminded helplessly: "Don't let your work slip away!"

"I know!" Mori Kogoro waved his hands impatiently, "Hurry up and get in the car."

When the taxi arrived, Tang Ze and the two were already waiting at the gate of the temple.

However, because Kogoro Mori accepted the commission, the two did not enter the store, but rested at the door drinking drinks.

After seeing Maliu Kogoro and the group get off the car, Tang Ze parked the motorcycle and followed them into the temple.

After seeing Kogoro Mori, a monk with a square face in a monk's robe but with a cropped head gave up talking with the people in front of him, and hurried up to meet Kogoro Mori and held Kogoro Mori's hand:

"Mr. Mori! Thank you so much for coming all the way from Tokyo!

I am the Dragon Yuan who called you yesterday to entrust you. "

Monk Long Yuan became very enthusiastic after seeing Mao Li Kogoro: "Let me introduce to you, this is Master Yuan Hai who is the host."

The old monk folded his hands together and bowed to everyone, without saying anything.

"The three here are the benefactors of this temple." Yuan Hai first introduced the man in a dark purple suit with a general's belly.

The other party's name is Sakura Shozo, an antique art dealer who runs an antique shop on Teramachi Street.

And next to him, wearing a blue kimono, is Mizuo Harutaro, the heir of Noh Mizuo Ryu.

As for the last one wearing a brown coat and glasses, it is Xijo Taihe who runs an ancient bookstore.

Of course, when he was introduced to the other party, Tang Ze couldn't help but roll him a few more eyes.

Because he knew the plot, he knew that the man in front of him, who looked gentle and gentle, even a little dull, was the prisoner they were looking for.

No matter how you look at it, such an honest man would not be regarded as a murderous criminal who killed five companions.

But if you look carefully, you will find that the opponent's finger joints are covered with calluses, especially the left palm and the right index finger and middle finger, which are left by practicing bow and arrow.

And looking at his steps and standing posture, he can also detect the shadow of the opponent practicing kendo.

Of course, even if Tang Ze knows the other party's identity, he can't do anything to him. After all, it's only the first time the two parties met. Tang Ze doesn't have any information channels to confirm his information.

So if you want to capture the opponent, you still need a suitable time.

However, this theatrical version is relatively classic, so Tang Ze has revisited it later, so he is still very familiar with the plot.

It's easy to find the key points to solve the case easily, but he still wants to try to get more rewards from the cases.

This requires some action.

"Well, rather than being a benefactor, it's better to say that everyone is a fellow swordsman." Master Yuan Hai said with a smile after his disciple finished picking up the three of them.

"No wonder you are in such a strong body, host." Mori Kogoro said with a smile: "It turns out that everyone has practiced kendo."

"Master, I heard that there is a secret treasure in the temple that will be exhibited once every twelve years?"

Tang Ze at the side withdrew his thoughts, seeing that Mori Kogoro would continue to chat, he quickly looked at the host and asked.

"That's right, it's the Buddha statue of Medicine Master Tathagata." The host nodded.

"Ah, I know this. The day after tomorrow is the day for the development tour." Xiaolan said excitedly, "We came here because we wanted to see this!"

"With such a pure heart, Medicine Master Tathagata will be happy when he finds out." The host said with a smile.

On the other hand, Long Yuan's unnatural body interrupted the conversation between the two of them: "By the way, regarding the entrustment, you should come into the room with me and talk about the details first."

"Then bother."

Everyone followed Master Longyuan into the temple, and then learned the content of the other party's commission to Mori Kogoro.

"What!? The main Buddha statue was stolen!?"

Kogoro Mori couldn't help but screamed when he learned that the Buddha statue of Medicine Buddha Tathagata, which was to be displayed the day after tomorrow, was lost in the temple.

"That's right, it was eight years ago."

Long Yuan opened the door of the shrine, revealing two Buddha statues: "The one on the left is Moonlight Bodhisattva, and the one on the right is Sunlight Bodhisattva.

But the Tathagata statue in the middle was stolen..."

There are two bodhisattvas in the altar, one on the left and one on the right, but the most important statue of Medicine Buddha Tathagata is empty.

Long Yuan closed the altar and explained: "As early as when the Buddha statue was lost, I proposed to call the police, but the host stopped me.

He said that the loss of the Buddha statue is God's will, and if there is a destiny, it will return one day. "

"This heart is too big." Mori Kogoro beside him sweated after hearing the words.

"Then I don't know why Master Long Yuan entrusted Maori detectives?"

Tang Ze asked: "Eight years have passed since the incident, why did you suddenly entrust it at this time?

Could it be that something happened that made you, Master Longyuan, have such an idea? "

"This benefactor is really perceptive. In fact, our temple received a letter five days ago."

Because he didn't know Tang Ze, Long Yuan was also a little surprised at the keenness of the young man in front of him, but after all, he was not too surprised because he came with Kogoro Mori, he just explained:

"There is no postage stamp on the envelope, and the sender's name is not written..."

While talking about Master Longyuan guiding everyone to sit down, he went to the side drawer to take out the letter.

On the white envelope, only the words "Accepted by Sanneng Temple" were written. After opening the letter, there was only one sentence written on the first sheet of paper.

——"As long as you can solve the mystery of this painting, you will be able to know the location of Medicine Buddha Tathagata."

Mori Kogoro read the contents of the first sheet of paper, and then turned to the second page.

On the second piece of paper, it was clearly a pattern.

This is like a young altar where Dolls' Day dolls are placed. There are five floors in total, and the dolls are not placed on these steps, but various patterns are painted.

First of all, the fifth floor is also the highest floor, with red cicadas, green tengus and red goldfish painted on it.

On the fourth floor down, there are golden roosters and loach? ?

And in the blank space between the two steps of the fifth floor and the fourth floor, there is a "," character.

After that, in the middle of the second and third floors, there are paintings of violets, green tengus, and purple Mt. Fuji.

On the outside of the steps, there is also a pattern of brown acorns.

After seeing this pattern, everyone was at a loss, and Xiaolan was even more worried: "Dad, I have to find this before the day after tomorrow. Are you okay?"

"Hehe...no, don't worry..."

After hearing his daughter's words, Mori Kogoro had cold sweat streaming down his forehead, but he still insisted: "This kind of pediatric puzzle is too simple for me!"

Although he said so, Mori Kogoro's hand holding the mystery paper has already started to tremble, obviously guilty.

"Then since you're looking for it this way, if you're looking for the Tathagata statue, leave it to Uncle, an expert!"

Sonoko didn't have the slightest doubt, and immediately suggested to Xiaolan and Ayako happily after Mori Kogoro finished speaking: "Shall we go visit Kyoto?"

"That's right! That's it!"

Mori Kogoro bite the bullet and said: "You are here just to disturb me, as long as Tang Ze and I are here~lightnovelpub.net~Actually, I also need to go out to investigate the case."

Tang Ze looked at Mori Kogoro, who was trying to get him to be his helper, and refused with a smile: "Leave simple deeds like puzzles to Detective Mori. After all, this is also your commission. It's not good for me to intervene in your work."

"Eh?" Mori Kogoro was a little surprised when he heard the words, and immediately smiled awkwardly: "That's right...haha, then I can handle it myself!"

"Come on, Dad!"

Xiaolan encouraged her father, looked at Sister Suzuki and said with a smile: "Actually, on the way here, I have already contacted He Yejiang.

She said that she would be our tour guide in Kyoto, but Hattori-kun seemed to be absent due to something else. "

"There's Kazuba-chan already, it doesn't matter if the boys come or not."

Yuanzi raised his head when he heard the words and said with an air, "Let's have a good time with the four girls this time!"
