Stay away from Conan

Due to Sakura Masazo's inquiry, Ryuuen just smiled and said:

"Ah... Well, there was something going on at the temple, so after hearing that Miss Xiaolan's father was the famous detective Mouri Kogoro, I simply asked a little bit... But since Mr. Mouri can't come through, it doesn't matter. Don’t take it to heart, Miss Xiaolan.”

In this way, after hearing Ryuuen's words, Ying Zhengzao couldn't help being surprised, turned to look at Xiaolan, and said with some surprise:

"Moori Kogoro? Is it the famous 'Sleeping Kogoro'? Is this his daughter?"

"That's right."

Nodding, Ryuuen said this, and then asked the figure who seemed to be Hattori Heiji who just walked through the door, and asked:

"By the way, Miss Xiaolan, the person who was talking to you just now...is Mr. Hattori Heiji, right?"

"Well, yes."

Xiaolan Zhengying was surprised and naturally paid attention to the other party just now, thinking that the other party was probably the key leader who kidnapped Kazuo and the others. When she heard Ryuuen's inquiry, Xiaolan continued to answer politely. .

"Then... why don't you invite Mr. Hattori to come in and sit down?"

Speaking of this, Sakura Masazo couldn't help but suggest this.

Then Saijo Taiga also followed his words and continued:

"Yes, we were just talking about the case of 'Hotaru Genji'. We hope to hear the famous detective's reasoning on this case... Oh, by the way, do you know 'Hotaru Genji'?"

"Ah, I've heard of it. Didn't the police from Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto hold a press conference today? Because I was visiting Kyoto, my father even took care of me!"

Because of this premeditated "accidental encounter", Xiaolan had already discussed the content of what she was going to say with Kudo Shinichi and others to ensure that Xiaolan would not say the wrong thing and be spotted by Sakura Masazo and others. .

In this way, due to this topic, Long Yuan smiled very relaxedly and said:

"Haha, my father is a bit unfounded. Didn't he say it at the press conference? The victims are all members of the 'Genji Hotaru', and it will not harm other people."

Hearing this, Xiaolan couldn't help but look a little melancholy and worried, lowering her head slightly. At the same time, Yuanzi beside her also showed the same sad mood.

Such a change naturally attracted the attention of Long Yuan and others. It doesn’t feel right no matter how you think about Long Yuan’s reaction after mentioning Xiaolan and the others’ unfounded worries——

From this, Long Yuan could not help but ask:

"What happened?"

As he said this, the other three people on the side seemed to pay very serious attention.

In response, Xiaolan looked around at their expressions, and then said sadly:

"actually……"

Slowly, Xiaolan told everyone that they had been kidnapped in broad daylight, and also told everyone present that this matter was probably done by "Hotaru Genji" and the conclusion given by Hattori Heiji. Said.

Therefore, after hearing this, Long Yuan and others looked extremely shocked and angry——

"That's unreasonable!"

Ryūen said angrily.

"Such a thing could happen here in Kyoto?"

With a solemn expression, Mizuo Harutaro said in disbelief.

"Did you call the police? What did the police say?"

Saijo Taiga asked.

"Is it that Hattori Heiji who said that this kidnapping might be related to 'Hotaru Genji'?"

Sakura Shozo finally asked. In this way, after listening to Sakura Masazo's final inquiry, Xiaolan and Sonoko looked at each other, and then Xiaolan couldn't help but said:

"Yes. As for the specific reason..."

Speaking of this, Xiaolan couldn't help but look at Long Yuan.

And such a move suddenly made Sakura Masazo and others look at Ryuuen.

This time, Long Yuan looked confused and pointed at himself, turned his head in confusion and asked:

"Me..."

After saying that, after thinking for a while, Long Yuan seemed to understand something and said:

"Is it because of...that commission?"

In response, Xiaolan nodded, but this made Long Yuan even more angry——

"Damn 'Hotaru Genji'!"

"Huh? What's going on? Why did you also say 'Genji Hotaru'?"

Sakura Masazo couldn't help but ask.

In response, Long Yuan shook his head helplessly, thinking about the Buddha statue, and finally sighed, raised the wine glass on the table and drank it all, as if he still didn't want to tell other people casually——

"Miss Xiaolan, if the police want to question me, they can come to me at any time. Damn 'Hotaru Genji'!"

As Long Yuan said this, he still did not dare to say anything about the theft of the Buddha statue, but he was willing to cooperate with the investigation required by the police.

Just like that, as the topic really returned to "Genji Hotaru", the female shopkeeper of "Sakuraya" who was entertaining everyone at the side couldn't help but said:

"I heard that the 'Genji Hotaru' are a gang that specializes in thieves, right? And each of their members has a copy of Yoshitsune in their hands, right?"

"That's right. Actually, I also have a copy of that! That's a really good book!"

When Sakura Shozo talked about this, he couldn't help but continued like this, and then asked Saijo Taiga:

"Right, he sells used books."

In this way, seeing Sakura Masazo's reaction, Saijo Taiga frowned slightly, but soon he said normally:

"Hmm. But... I don't like that book very much. Although the title is "Yoshisuke", it is actually the "Benkei Chronicles" describing Benkei!"

"I like it very much."

When this topic came up, Mizuo Harutarou also said:

"Especially the Benkei of Ataka, it's the best."

--"The Benkei of Ataka... that's the name of a Noh play... it sounds like something the young master of the Mizuo Ryu of Noh would say..."

At the same time, in this private room, while Xiaolan and others were talking with Sakura Masazo and others, Kudo Shinichi, who was disguised as Hattori Heiji, was in another private room next door, eavesdropping on the movements here through the bug on Xiaolan. Kudo Shinichi was more familiar with Sakura Masazo and the other three than Xiaolan and others.

Therefore, Kudo Shinichi, who had already suspected whether the three of them were the remaining three members of "Genji Hotaru", became more aware of the content of their conversation. In particular, the suspicion that Sakura Masazo was "Genji Hotaru" increased greatly, and his words seemed to be fearless. On the contrary, Kudo Shinichi was a little unsure about Saijo Taikawa and Mizuo Harutaro, who said that they did not like "Gikyouki" and liked "Gikyouki" because of Noh.

But thinking about Mizuo Harutaro's age, Kudo Shinichi felt that he seemed to be the least likely to be related to "Genji Hotaru", and Sakura Masazo...

It depends on whether Xiaolan and the others can test whether his right shoulder is injured...

So, just as Kudo Shinichi was thinking this, Xiaolan, Mizuo Harutaro roughly told the story of Benkei in Ataka, and Sakura Masazo couldn't help but interrupt with interest in the topic of this story...
