Chapter 713: The Legend of Huankui Temple

Sunday, August 1st, morning, Metropolitan Police Department.

Officer Sato ran into Officer Yumi and thanked her for the package. Thanks to the dress, he could deal with his mother.

Officer Takagi saw Officer Sato and Officer Yumi from a distance and wanted to go up to say hello, but was stopped by a group of people and asked him for a small gift.

"This, this..." Officer Takagi sweated.

"That is no more."

"It's too shameful, such a thing can be forgotten."

"Come on, let's talk to him."

"Teach him how to respect his predecessors."

"And solidarity with colleagues."

"No, don't!" Officer Takagi only had time to say a word before his mouth was covered and he was taken away.

Before leaving, Officer Takagi looked at Officer Sato and Officer Yumi eagerly, but only saw their backs, they were chatting happily, and did not notice the abnormal situation behind them at all. ...

Later, Bei Chuan, who killed Nishimura Mami, surrendered himself for homicide and was sentenced to six years in prison. ...

Sunday, August 1st, morning.

Sonoko, Mori, Ran, Conan, Yamazaki and Mei Daiko go to Tokyo Station and take the Izu Hakone Railway Limited Express Izu Rainbow, along the Tokaido Main Line to Mishima Station in Mishima City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and then follow the Izu Hakone Railway Suzu Line to the bottom Stop at Shuzenji Station, and after getting off the bus, use the ticket to go shopping in Hongzhi Township of Shuzenji Temple.

Then, according to the address on the winning letter, the six Maori took a bus to the place called Huankui Hotel on the seashore. They thought it was a hotel or a small hotel, but found a big hotel.

Lan showed the winning letter to the front desk in a nervous mood, and not only was he received, but also a suite, which made Maori laugh happily.

Out of curiosity, Yuanzi inquired about it. It turned out that the hotel was newly opened not long ago. This was an event when it opened. It is said that it was to find some wise people to do publicity.

"I see." Mao Li smiled proudly, "I think I'm the smartest and wisest one."

"Who is talking so shamelessly here." A familiar young boy's voice came over.

At the same time, a familiar girl's voice came, "Idiot, why are you talking so loudly, are you afraid that the arrogant guy won't hear you?"

During the conversation, the two appeared in the lobby. The six Maori saw clearly that they were Hattori and Kazuha, but they didn't notice this at all, and they were still talking about their own affairs.

Hattori retorted: "You idiot, you're not as loud."

He Ye retorted: "Idiot, I didn't say that people are arrogant, I just said that they are arrogant."

Hattori said angrily: "It's not the same, and you also said a lot just now."

He Ye shouted: "I said brazenly speaking, I meant you talking brazenly, not that he was brazenly speaking, and what you said brazenly has nothing to do with it."

Then, the two found Maori and his group. They were stunned when they saw Conan, Yamazaki, Mei Daizi, Lan, Sonoko who were holding back their laughter, and the veins on Maori's forehead. Khan, laughed dryly together and said, "The weather is really nice today."

"Don't learn how to speak from me." The two immediately said to each other together.

"Enough! Shut up." Molly yelled,

This made the five of Yamazaki couldn't bear it any longer, and they all laughed.

"Why are you here?" Molly asked.

"Ah?" Hattori scratched his face, "This..."

"It goes without saying, of course I won the lottery." Yuanzi laughed loudly.

"So you are too?" He Ye happily asked.

"Yes." Lan smiled.

"Damn it, you're all out of your wits." Maori said angrily.

"Sorry, uncle, we didn't mean it." Hattori said embarrassedly.

"Yeah." He Ye said, "Heiji definitely didn't do it on purpose."

"Hey, hey, half of Kazuha is involved here." Hattori said.

"Okay, you two." Maori said with a headache.

Yamazaki changed the topic, "Did you just come here?"

Mei Daizi asked: "By the way, how many days can you play?"

"You can play for a long time, but we came here yesterday and we need to live in another place." He Ye said.

Mei Daizi smiled and said: "Then let me, my brother, and Yuanzi live on the boat."

"Okay." He Ye smiled, "By the way, we were at the seaside yesterday, so you can accompany us to the mountain, that is the place with the five-storied pagoda."

"That's no problem." Lan smiled, "We went to Sensoji Temple yesterday."

"Ah, then you must have watched the Spark Conference." He Ye said with a smile, "Tell me about it later when you have dinner."

Afterwards, Mori, Ran, and Conan checked into the hotel, Sonoko, Yamazaki, and Mei Daiko put their luggage in their room, then the kimono department and Kazuha went to the restaurant to find a private room for lunch, and then went to the mountain.

"Huankui Temple." Looking at the name of the temple, Maori said, "Could it be that the hotel below is run by a monk? It's really helping a fake monk."

"No, sir." A middle-aged man walked over from the temple.

"Sure enough, they are fake monks with long hair." Mei Daizi said, "By the way, they may be lay disciples."

"Uh, I'm in charge of environmental issues in the temple. My name is Shigekichi Okabe." Shigekichi Okabe said with a smile, "Everyone is here to visit the temple. Let me show you around."

Looking at the deserted mountain gate, Hattori asked: "By the way, why is there no one there? Isn't today a rest day?"

"It must be too remote." Sonoko said.

"That's not the case," Okabe Shigekichi said, "Everyone follow me first, please."

Okabe Shigekichi first took everyone to worship, and then took them to the temple. On the way, he introduced that Huankui Temple was built more than 400 years ago. The new policy banned it, so it joined the powerful Nichiren sect in the prefecture. At that time, it was the Nichiren Fuji school, and it was the Dharma line of Master Nikko, one of the six outstanding disciples of Nichiren Master.

"Ah? It also depends on power?" Mao Li said angrily.

"Puhuazong, those half-monk and half-vulgar traveling monks who didn't shave their hair in period dramas belong to Puhuazong?" He Ye said, "Wearing a deep hat that can cover the whole head, wearing a cassock with small sleeves, He has a wooden knife at his waist, holds a shakuhachi musical instrument, and wears straw sandals on his feet."

"I remember it was called the Void Monk." Yuanzi said, "You can legally carry weapons and travel freely across the country."

"They are all spies and killers of the shogunate," Mei Daizi said with a smile, "That's what is said in those TV dramas."

"By the way, they all have short knives hidden in the shakuhachi, and there are swords in their clothes." Lan said.

"The legend is true. However, this should be only a small number of people," Okabe Shigekichi said. "But at that time, there were very criminals who dressed up as nihilistic monks and committed crimes, so they were banned altogether."

"It's really hard to check like this," Hattori said. "I don't know how I got into this trouble in the first place."

"This is an order issued by Ieyasu Tokugawa himself in the first month of 1614. It is called the Book of Keicho." Shigekichi Okabe said with a smile, "It is said that Ieyasu Tokugawa wanted the defeated samurai to look around. Look at how I govern the country, and of course it is said that it is to be able to spy on intelligence from all over the place.”

"1614? The Battle of Winter in Osaka," Maori said with a smile, "It really has a bit of that flavor."

Okabe Shigekichi continued to introduce that later the Nichiren sect was unified, but the faction problem was still serious. After the beginning of the new era, it split again on the basis of unification, and Huankui Temple also took the opportunity to stand on its own and became the current Huankui The temple belongs to the Puhua sect and is dedicated to the holy Guanyin. Now this temple is a county-level designated cultural relic, and the wooden five-storied pagoda is a national-level designated cultural relic.

"If this is the case, there should be many people, right?" Hattori asked, "Why can't anyone see it now?"

"Uh, this, this is what the abbot meant." Okabe Shigekichi said, and then continued, "This temple has many interesting legends for four hundred years."

"Oh, what is it?" Mei Daizi asked.

"For example, in the bushes near the five-storied pagoda, there is an old well that has been used since the Edo period. One day it suddenly dried up." Okabe Shigekichi said, "It is said that a woman who was broken in love cried three times in front of the well. In three days and nights, those tears disappeared together with the well water."

"What, this must be the cause of the earthquake." He Ye said.

"What about the five-storied pagoda?" Lan asked.

"It's better not to say that." Shigekichi Okabe smiled.

"What, is it some weird legend?" Yuanzi looked at Lan and asked with a smile.

"It's not a legend, but a real thing." Okabe Shigekichi brought everyone under the five-storied pagoda, "In the early Edo period, the abbot took a fancy to a young and promising young man, thinking that he could succeed the next abbot, but that After the young man became a monk, he fell in love with the village chief's daughter and eloped with the village chief's daughter, and then..."

"Then?" Sonoko asked.

"One day, someone found a person hanging on a corner of the fifth floor of this five-storied pagoda," Shigekichi Okabe said in a gloomy tone. "

"Ah!" Lan and Ye cried out in fright.

"Later, the village chief's daughter said that it was the monk who eloped with her, and he was captured by a holy eagle." Shigekichi Okabe said.

"Holy Eagle?" Mei Daizi asked excitedly, "Could it be that there are monsters?"

"I think this is the village chief's daughter lying to avoid responsibility." Yamazaki said with a smile, "The reason why Shengying didn't take her away is because Shengying forgave her, and since Shengying has already forgiven her Then her father and the villagers should also forgive her, so that she can continue to live in the village and gain the respect of the villagers for seeing the holy eagle."

"So it's like this." Mei Daizi said discouraged.

"Then why is he up there?" Sonoko asked.

"Of course it was a murder." Hattori said, "The murderer was either the abbot or the village head."

"However, in the middle of the Edo period, an abbot suddenly disappeared for a few days and was found hanging on the corner of the five-storied pagoda." Okabe Shigekichi said.

"No, isn't it?" Lan asked with some fear.

"He had a wicked mind, secretly sold the valuables in the temple, and indulged in wine and sex." Shigekichi Okabe said in a gloomy tone, "So people began to say that if someone violated the temple rules, he would be cursed by the five-storied pagoda .”

"Curse, curse." Lan, He Ye, Yuanzi, and Mao Li were all taken aback.

"That's great." Mei Daiko clapped her hands and laughed, and then asked Okabe Shigekichi, "Then how can it be considered a violation of the temple rules? Demolish this tower?"

"Huh?" Shigekichi Okabe was taken aback.

"Who dares to speak nonsense!" An old monk appeared.

"Abbot Danhai." Okabe Shigekichi exclaimed.

"Okabe, you brought these tourists in again." Abbot Danhai reprimanded.

Okabe Shigekichi said: "The sightseeing is from this temple..."

"Shut up!" Abbot Danhai said angrily, "The entire temple was taken away because of sightseeing, have you forgotten!"

"This..." Okabe Shigekichi lowered his head.

"Hey, Abbot Danhai, how can it be considered a violation of temple rules?" Mei Daizi asked.

"You were the one who said you were going to demolish the five-storied pagoda just now?" Abbot Danhai asked.

"That's right, it's me." Mei Daizi nodded and said, "Isn't there a curse? I want to try."

"That's the scourge of heaven," Abbot Danhai said, "it's the scourge of those who disrespect the gods and Buddhas." Then he said, "Little girl, because you are still young, I will help you to intercede with the gods and Buddhas."

"Please?" Mei Daizi asked in surprise.

"Yes, but you don't have to thank me." Abbot Danhai said, "It is Buddha's original intention to eliminate disasters and difficulties for the world."

"No, no, that's not the case. If you can intercede for me, then you must be able to contact your gods and Buddhas." Mei Daizi said, "Then tell them, can you meet me? Gasoline money for travel expenses, oh, how much is the sesame oil money in Japanese yen, I will try my best to pay."

"Ah?" Abbot Danhai was stunned.

"Pfft!" The Mori six laughed, and Yamazaki shook his head.

"Why don't you tell me your contact information, and I'll talk to them myself." Mei Daizi said, "Don't worry, I won't steal your business, and I'll give you an agency fee. What do you think? The price is easy to negotiate."

"No, it's unreasonable." Abbot Danhai said angrily, and then said, "Okabe, take them out." He waved his sleeves and left.

He Ye smiled and said: "Mei Daizi, you are so amazing, you forced him to get angry."

"I'm not mad at him." Mei Daizi shrugged and said.

"It must be because you are afraid that you will snatch the business." Yuanzi smiled, "Look around here, there are so many building materials, you must have made a lot of money, you want to overhaul, and there is that big hotel down the mountain."

"No, no, the Huankui Hotel at the foot of the mountain belongs to Oda Tourist Club." Shigekichi Okabe said, "And these building materials belong to Oda Tourist Club."

"Then why is it placed here?" Maori asked, "Could it be..."

"Yes," Okabe Shigekichi said with difficulty, "because the real estate of this temple has been owned by Oda Tourist Club, and they plan to build a theme park here."

"Is that so." Mei Daizi thought about it.

"It's a pity." Lan said, "We don't often come into contact with places like this in urban life, and it feels like it can purify our hearts."

"That's because there are few people here now." Mao Li said angrily.

"Nalan, you can stay here tonight." Yuanzi said with a smirk.

"Yuanzi," Lan gritted her teeth and said, "You stay with me, Yuanzi, and I will stay."

"Promise her, Yuanzi." He Ye smiled.

Sonoko immediately said, "You stay with Heye, too."

"Ah?" He Ye immediately stopped talking.

"Really, there's nothing to be afraid of." Mao Li said angrily.

"Why don't you stay with us, uncle," Yuanzi said.

"Yes, uncle." He Ye said.

"Me?" Maori said. "My hotel is waiting for me."

Mei Daizi asked Yamazaki, "Brother, what do you think of this place?"

"It's very likely." Yamazaki said with a smile.

Yuanzi asked Mei Daizi, "Hey, don't you want to buy this place?"

"You're right." Mei Daizi smiled.

"Miss, do you want to buy this place?" Okabe Shigekichi asked in surprise.

"Don't get your hopes up," Hattori said with a smile, "and you'd better pray to your gods and Buddhas that this deal will not succeed. Because if it is in the hands of that tourist agency, the temple may still be preserved. It’s decided, unless your abbot can invite your gods and Buddhas to come over.”

"Ah? Is this true?" Shigekichi Okabe asked worriedly.

"Definitely." Lan smiled wryly.

Maori looked at the time, "Okay, it's almost time to go back."

After that, Shigekichi Okabe sent everyone out of the mountain gate, and asked Maori before parting: "Excuse me, are you Maori detective?"

"Oh? You know me too." Maori smiled happily.

"I saw it in the newspaper. I heard that you helped solve the serial killing incident. Thank you very much." Shigekichi Okabe smiled.

"Where, where, I didn't help much." Mao Li smiled embarrassedly. ...

On the way down the mountain.

Hattori brought Conan to the end, and said with a soft smile: "Speaking of which, I saw the serial killing incident in the newspaper, and I specifically asked Otaki Police Department to inquire about it."

"What do you want to say?" Conan asked angrily.

"I'm surprised that you didn't find the murderer as soon as you came up." Hattori laughed.

"Well," Conan said blushing, "I checked his arm, and I found out later."

"No need to explain." Hattori smiled, "I figured it out later, it's not your fault, really."

"Huh?" Conan was surprised.

"Because you are a little guy with no leg hair now, you can't even think of this." After finishing speaking, Hattori laughed and ran away.

"Damn it!" Conan raised his triangular eyes and gritted his teeth. ...
