A Sorcerer in the Detective World

At around 11:30 noon, Sannoji Temple in Kyoto.

In the room where guests were being entertained, Host Yuan Hai was already sitting at the dining table waiting. When he saw Ryu Yuan leading Conan and Uncle Mouri in, he immediately stood up and said, "Ryu Yuan, why have you been here for so long?"

After Yuan Hai finished speaking, Uncle Maori immediately smiled and scratched his head and said, "Sorry, sorry, Master Yuan Hai, after we packed up our things in the guest room, we wandered around the temple for a while..."

"I see, Mr. Maori, please take a seat." Yuan Hai nodded nonchalantly, pointed at the place in front of him and said, "The food served in our temple is simple and may not be to your liking. Please forgive me..."

"Where, I think it's already very rich..."

Uncle Maori glanced at the food on the table, nodded with a smile, and knelt down in front of the table. Conan, Xiaolan, and Sonoko also sat down.

After everyone exchanged a few more polite words, they had lunch together. Long Yuan warmly entertained Uncle Maori and Conan, while Yuan Hai just ate quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words, and unknowingly he mentioned the pharmacist. On top of the Buddha statue:

"...Mr. Mori, thank you so much for your condescension to come this time! To tell you the truth, the morning after tomorrow will be the consecration ceremony of the Medicine Buddha Tathagata that is held every twelve years in our temple. Will the consecration ceremony be held successfully? It depends on whether you can get the Buddha statue back..."

Ryūen asked him sincerely, while Uncle Maori laughed and said, "Don't worry, practicing monk Ryūen, I will definitely do my best! But speaking of which, when was that Medicine Buddha statue thrown away? At that time, What’s the specific situation?”

After Uncle Maori finished speaking, Long Yuan immediately replied: "Well... the Medicine Buddha statue was thrown away eight years ago. I remember it was one morning. I opened the shrine as usual and offered incense to the three Buddha statues in the shrine. As a result, But I found that the Medicine Buddha statue was missing..."

"Ah? Has the Medicine Buddha statue been abandoned for eight years?"

Xiao Lan asked in surprise, Long Yuan nodded and said: "Yes, it has been eight years and the Buddha statue has not been recovered..."

After Long Yuan finished speaking, Conan, who was drinking tea, asked curiously: "Didn't the police have any clues for such a long time?"

After listening to Conan's words, Long Yuan said "uh", turned to look at the host Yuan Hai, and then said with a wry smile: "To be honest with you, in fact, after the Medicine Buddha statue was thrown away, there was no alarm at all in our temple..."

"What? Didn't you call the police?" Conan and Uncle Maori looked surprised——

In other words, there was no call to the police, which means that the police did not have any records or evidence collection information at the time.

In addition, eight years have passed, and all the clues on the scene must be gone. How to find this Buddha statue?

Conan, Uncle Maori and the others felt their brains aching, but Ryū Yuan said helplessly:

"...Actually, I planned to call the police right away, but I was stopped by Director Yuan Hai..."

After Long Yuan finished speaking, Conan and Uncle Maori turned to look at Yuan Hai. Yuan Hai clasped his hands together and said, "... As the saying goes, everything has a certain destiny. Since the Medicine Buddha Tathagata will be stolen, then It is the fate of the Buddha statue and the fate of the thief. If it is really destined, the Buddha statue will naturally come back. If not, it will just leave. It is not a bad thing for our temple... Amitabha... "

At the end of Yuan Hai's words, he chanted the Buddha's name, stood up and said, "Ryu Yuan, I'm going to meditate in my room. Mr. Maori and others will be left to your care!"

"Okay, host." Long Yuan responded immediately.

Seeing Host Yuan Hai open the door and leave, Conan and Uncle Maori both said "uh" and said with dry smiles:

"...I said, you, Master Yuanhai, are really open-minded..."

Listening to Uncle Maori's words, Long Yuan smiled awkwardly and said: "He has always been so indifferent as the host. So far, I have never seen him get excited - to be honest, if I were the host, Medicine Master Tathagata would be lost. On the first day, I might feel guilty and want to commit suicide... After all, it has been said that since the temple was built, it has been

The Buddha statue that was inherited..."

"What? The Buddha statue from when the temple was built?" Conan and Xiaolan exclaimed, "Doesn't that mean that this Buddha statue has a history of more than 800 years?"

"That's right! To be precise, it was eight hundred and fourteen years." Long Yuan recalled the history of Medicine Buddha and said, "...Our Sannou Temple was built in the winter of 1189, and the first abbot was the Great Master. Tengkong, Master Tengkong passed away in 1199. Before his death, he presided over the first consecration ceremony of Medicine Buddha Tathagata, and later told that a consecration ceremony should be held every twelve years..."

Ryūen introduced the situation of Medicine Buddha Tathagata in a "bala bala" manner, and then saluted Uncle Maori: "So Mr. Maori, please be sure to find the Buddha statue! I beg you!"

After Long Yuan finished speaking, Uncle Maoli looked distressed and backed down: "What about that... I really want to help, but I don't have any clue..."

Before Uncle Mao Li finished speaking, Long Yuan immediately slapped his forehead, then took out a letter from his body and said: "...Mr. Mao Li, if you want to find clues, please read this letter..."

"Huh? There is no stamp on this letter, and there is no sender information..." Uncle Maori took the letter and looked at it, then opened it and saw two pieces of paper inside, one of which read "As long as you solve the mystery, you will know where the Buddha statue is." On the left side of another piece of paper is a code diagram, and on the right side is the Buddha statue of Medicine Buddha.

"Uh... what is this picture?" Uncle Maori looked at the picture on the left side of the second piece of paper and was confused.

Conan leaned over and took a look, and also frowned. Ryuumaon continued: "Mr. Mori, there are not many people who know that the Key Tathagata is lost. Since this person sent the code, it means that he must know something. What……"

"...So, please use your wisdom to decipher the code, or find the sender, and help us find the Buddha statue!"

…

At twelve o'clock at noon, Ponto Town.

In the living room of the Nakamura family, everyone was sitting around the low table, listening to Shu Yunwen talking about the snow girl Lolita: "... Just like that, I brought this little girl home for temporary adoption, and helped her find you - —Finding her parents was ***-chan’s obsession before she transformed into a snow girl. It’s a pity..."

"...She probably doesn't remember anything..."

Shu Yunwen's voice was a little regretful. Nakamura Keiko, the mother of Snow Girl Lolita, wiped her tears and hugged ***-chan tightly and said: "...don't you remember? It's okay, it's okay, as long as ***-chan is still here. Just stay alive...I just feel sorry for my ***-chan. After she became a Yuki-onna, she really suffered by herself..."

"Is it painful? I didn't feel it!~" Snow Girl Lolita looked cute and stupid, "I was playing games with myself, it was so fun!"

I have been playing with myself for five whole years. If this is not called suffering, what is called suffering?

Nakamura Keiko couldn't help but cry again after hearing what the little snow girl said. She hugged the little snow girl and kissed her: "...***-chan, don't worry, my mother will protect you in the future, no. I will let anyone hurt you..."

Hearing this, the little snow girl said "Ah" and asked, "Really?"

"Of course it's true!" Nakamura Keiko nodded vigorously. The snow girl girl immediately pointed at Shu Yunwen and said cutely: "Then can you help me defeat this big devil? This big devil raised me in the house. , Actually, I want to make delicious food after I am raised - such as braised pork, braised pork ribs, twice-cooked pork..."

The little snow girl Loli held the name of the dish skillfully, and her saliva started to flow again. Tsukamoto Sumi and Loli Ai both let out a "plop" and laughed out loud, while Shu Yunwen had a black line on his forehead and the corners of his mouth twitched——

Damn it! Just when this little loli pointed her little hand at him, he knew that this little loli couldn't fart well!

Sure enough, you are just talking nonsense here!

Dear mother! Our reputation as a ghost wizard has almost been ruined by this little loli and we have turned into a cannibal wizard, right? !

Shu Yunwen complained in his heart, coughed slightly, and explained to the confused Nakamura Keiko: "Mrs. Nakamura, don't listen to her nonsense. This

Little girl, I scared her once before, but she took it seriously and always thought I wanted to eat her..."

"Uh... Now I know it's just a kid's nonsense. How could I take it seriously?"

Nakamura Keiko replied with a smile, and then directly sat down for Shu Yunwen and said: "Master Yunwen, I don't know how to repay you for your care and help to ***-chan. Thank you so much!"

Nakamura Keiko sat down, and her husband Nakamura Mikio next to her also sat down and said: "Thank you so much, Yunwen-sama!"

"Uh...you don't have to be like this. I also feel sorry for the little girl." Upon seeing this, Shu Yunwen quickly helped the parents of the snow girl Lolita, and then heard Keiko Nakamura ask cautiously: "...Yunwen-da Man, although it’s a bit presumptuous, but... ***-chan, can she stay and live with us?”

"I'm afraid this won't work." Upon hearing this, Shu Yunwen shook his head and explained seriously, "It's not that I don't want her to accompany you, but that she can't accompany you. I've said it before, ***-chan Now it’s a snow girl. Although the ice energy in her body is blocked by the ice silkworm clothes, if it is accidentally leaked, it will cause big trouble..."

As Shu Yunwen spoke, he used the magic power in his hand to lift the corners of Snow Girl Lolita's ice silk clothes. Suddenly, a cold air surged out of her body. Everyone in the living room seemed to have entered a cold state, and their whole bodies began to tremble. Shu Yunwen Then he continued:

"...With such a degree of coldness, it won't take long for ordinary people to get cold poison into their bodies. If it takes a long time, they will definitely die. So, do you understand?"

With such an intuitive feeling, Nakamura Keiko's eyes dimmed and she nodded: "I, I understand. Then...can I see ***-chan often in the future?"

"This is no problem, as long as she is here, it can be done anytime..."

Shu Yunwen was talking when he heard a knock on the door, and then a female voice said: "Qizi, I'm here, open the door quickly."

"Okay, okay!" Keiko Nakamura responded, and then Kayo Kawaguchi stood up and said, "Aunt Tae is here, I'll open the door..."

While Kawaguchi Kayo was talking, he quickly walked to the entrance and opened the door. He saw two women, one old and one young, standing outside the door, holding two boxes of snacks in their hands.

Seeing Kayo Kawaguchi, the older woman smiled and greeted him: "It's Kayo, are you back too? Let me go in and warm up quickly. I don't know what happened just now, but it suddenly became very cold outside. It’s like entering winter…”

The older woman said, walked into the entrance hall, couldn't help but cover her arms and said: "...It's strange, why is it colder inside your home than outside?"

"Uh... Well..." Nakamura Keiko didn't know how to answer, and Nakamura Takashi lied: "...Maybe the air conditioner is turned on too cold? Mei and I just got home and felt a little hot, so we Turn on the cold wind..."

"Really? But it's too cold!" The older woman muttered, then noticed Shu Yunwen and Tsukamoto Sumi, and asked curiously: "Qiko, do you have guests?"

"Well, that's right." Nakamura Keiko nodded, pointed to Shu Yunwen and introduced: "This is the spiritual exterminator from Tokyo, Mr. Shu Yunwen, and the one next to him is his girlfriend, Tsukamoto Sumi, and finally This child is Master Yunwen’s younger sister..."

"...Yunwen-sama, this is my best friend, Yamakura Tae, and the one next to her is her adopted daughter, Chiga Suzu."

Nakamura Keiko also introduced Yamakura Tae and the others to Shu Yunwen. After Yamakura Tae and the others greeted Shu Yunwen and the others, they looked at Nakamura Keiko and asked strangely: "Keiko, why are your eyes so red?" Red? Did you cry just now? And this child..."

Yamakura Tae also noticed the snow girl, her eyes widened:

"...She looks like ***-chan..."

…

At 12:30 noon, in the guest room of Shannou Temple.

Uncle Maori knelt down in front of the short table, holding his chin in one hand and holding the code paper in the other, thinking seriously. Conan, Xiaolan, and Sonoko were sitting on the other side of the short table, with a complex sheet in front of them.

The printed code paper is also being studied.

"It's really strange. What does this picture mean? I don't understand it at all..."

Uncle Maori frowned, put down the code paper and took a sip of water. Conan looked at the picture on the code paper and said: "This picture looks like a five-story staircase. On the top fifth floor, from left to right are cicadas. , tengu, and goldfish. The fourth floor is a chicken and a loach. Between the second and third floors, there are violets, tengu, and Mount Fuji. Next to Mount Fuji, there is an acorn..."

After Conan finished speaking, Xiaolan pointed to the black spot between the fourth and fifth floors and said, "Look, there is another black spot here. I don't know what it means..."

"In my opinion, you probably got it accidentally, right?" Yuanzi came out to act stupid, "And why did the loach be painted yellow? Loach was disgusting originally, but now it's even more disgusting, and it feels more like that..."

Yuanzi looked disgusted, but Conan said "haha" and retorted: "Sister Yuanzi, since this is a very important code map, the sender will definitely confirm whether there are any errors when sending it. After all, the code map only needs If something goes wrong, the reasoning may not come to fruition... Do you think that if there is a black dot on an important code map, that person will pretend not to see it?"

"...So, this black spot must have its meaning!"

Conan said "Bala Bala", Sonoko said "uh", and a "well" appeared on his forehead, and he couldn't help but complain:

"Damn you brat! Are you trying to teach me a lesson? Also, your stinking look really looks like a certain guy..."

After Yuanzi finished speaking, Xiaolan also looked at Conan in confusion. Conan also realized that he had overacted. After saying "Huh", he quickly scratched his head and said cutely:

"I-I'm actually learning from Shinichi-nii...hahaha..."
