Chapter 716 Using History as a Mirror

Hattori Heiji had already made a very deep impression on the famous detective Fujino - he was a very wicked guy.

Although he usually has a bad taste, Hattori feels that Fujino has always been able to see clearly when it comes to right and wrong.

Today he actually made it clear that he had trouble with the people in Kyoto, which meant that the people in Kyoto must have offended him...

Hattori Heiji was a little curious and couldn't help but ask Fujino: "Although there are some things I shouldn't ask, where did these people in Kyoto offend you?"

Fujino glanced at Hattori, stared at it for a moment, and then said: "This matter started a long time ago..."

"Stop it and talk about the important points."

"Anyway, the last time I went to Kyoto, I came across a bomb attack on a high-speed train. Then I defused the bomb. Those people didn't appreciate me and instead locked me up for investigation. They didn't give me any reward afterwards, let alone There was no certificate of appreciation, honorary citizen, or anything like that, not even a word of praise, and even the taxi fare from the Kyoto headquarters was not reimbursed.”

Fujino painfully described what the Kyoto police had done, then looked at Hattori Heiji in front of him, reached out and patted his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Your Osaka headquarters is different. In addition to publicly praising me, you also gave me I thank you for the certificate, and I still have one million yen. If anything happens, of course I will ask you Osaka.”

"But my favorite is Aomori Prefecture. Not only did they give me the title of honorary citizen of Aomori Prefecture, they also gave me a certificate of appreciation and three million yen..."

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. The main thing is honor, you know?"

"To be honest, I am also a minister of the brachial crotch, but I am really disappointed that the people in Kyoto treat me like that."

"Haha, of course... we here are different from Kyoto in that we are generally very generous... I will definitely tell my father next time, so that I can't let a 'big-hearted minister' like you feel cold."

Hattori Heiji smiled. In fact, MMP had already started in his heart.

So the co-authorship was because of this thing?

He thought the Kyoto police had done something immoral...

Didn't expect this?

As expected, this guy's brain is as sharp as ever, and his petty side is just as sharp.

Fortunately, Osaka didn't do anything like that, at least they didn't get noticed by this guy who was picking on the bad guys.

Well, I must tell my dad when I get back.

If this guy performs meritorious service in Osaka in the future, he will definitely be given more money.

So as not to follow in the footsteps of those people in Kyoto.

…………

Got the key item, the key.

As detectives, these three people naturally wanted to come and investigate. Although they didn't know where Sakura Masazo lived, Conan and Fujino had heard about where this guy's antique art shop was.

Just on Teramachi Street in Kyoto.

Ayanokouji's attitude towards the detectives, at least the few detectives present, was not very good, but he had no intention of treating them as suspects and let them go without further obstruction.

Fujino Hattori and Conan took advantage of others to take notes, so they rode their motorcycles directly to the Sakura Shozo Antique Museum.

Hattori's off-road motorcycle is green, and its performance is not as good as Fujino's, and its appearance is not as domineering as Fujino's. It is purely for off-road use, and Fujino's one is more inclined to the track version.

In terms of acceleration and speed increase, Fujino's car is definitely better, but in terms of off-road performance, Fujino's car is not necessarily as good as him...

After all, the track car has a low chassis.

For the same reason, the back row is also larger than Fujino's.

With Fujino and Conan installed, it can fit three people, two big and one small.

…………

The night in Kyoto is quite eerie.

What makes it eerie is not that many people have died or how heavy the yin energy is around it, but that the atmosphere is a bit underworld.

Most of the streets in Kyoto are retro-style. Perhaps there is some regulation that even if it is a modern building, the entrance must have a wooden door.

This kind of street gives people the feeling of going back to ancient times, looking at the houses and shops along the street.

There is nothing during the day, but at night, without lighting, and the dark atmosphere exaggerating, it can only be said to have the illusion of entering the underworld.

Hattori Heiji stopped the motorcycle and put one foot on the ground to stabilize the balance of the motorcycle. He glanced at the stone door cup standing at the door of the three-story shop building standing on the roadside: "This should be the one made by Sakura Masaru. Antique art store.”

Conan jumped out of the car, took out the key from his pocket, and walked towards the side door of the shop where the lights were still on on the left side and there was a landscape pine tree planted in front of the door. He glanced at the door lock as if he was comparing it to something, and then flipped it Picking up the keys in his hand: "It seems I can only try them one by one."

"By the way, you should be able to pick locks, right?"

Fujino got off the motorcycle and walked towards the door: "You can just pry him open. Why waste time with the key?"

Conan looked confused: "Pry the lock?"

When did he say he knew how to pick locks?

Using his football-like brain, Conan recalled it, but he had known Fujino for so long that he had forgotten whether he had ever exposed the lock-picking skills he and his father had learned in Hawaii.

It must have been exposed accidentally...

After retracting his thoughts, Conan shook his head slightly helplessly: "The door lock here is an anti-theft lock. How can it be so easy to pry open? If you don't use a key, it will probably be difficult to pry open even if it is tilted until tomorrow morning. You might as well use a key. ”

"Yeah?"

Fujino looked at Conan suspiciously, and suddenly felt that this little brother was not good either.

In his impression, this boy Conan learned a lot of crafts from his father Yusaku Kudo at the Hawaii Technical School.

For example, if you can fly an airplane or a boat, you can definitely pick locks.

But it seems that I am not good at picking locks.

Unable to even pry open the security door.

Really a la carte.

"Forget it, I'll do it."

Fujino sighed, took out a small black hairpin from his pocket, pushed Conan away, and put it into the keyhole.

"Are you trying to break the security door?"

Conan was speechless: "If it were an ordinary lock or something, it might be easy to pry it open with a hairpin, but even a very high-security anti-theft door like this can..."

"Kata!"

"opened."

A crisp sound suddenly came.

Fujino put away the hairpin silently, and then opened the security door.

Conan was stunned: "...?"

Is this open?

So, this is a security door!

How did you open it...and it still uses a hairpin. Can the security door be opened so easily?

The slap in the face came so quickly that Conan was a little dazed.

"Is the door open yet?"

At this time, Hattori Heiji parked the car on the side of the road, followed him and saw the door being opened, and teased Conan: "You are really lucky!"

Conan cast a resentful glance at the black chicken behind him.

It feels like this chicken is making fun of itself.

After a moment of helplessness, he explained: "It was Fujino who pried it open. He didn't think it was too troublesome to find the keys one by one."

Hattori Heiji also expressed surprise: "He pried it open? The security door? So fast?"

"Okay, hurry up and search. The search will be over as soon as possible."

Without saying anything, Fujino took out a knitted hat and put it on his head. He then took out shoe covers from his pocket and put them on his feet. He also put on another pair of gloves: "Isn't it just to pry the door open? If a detective can’t pry open a door, then what kind of detective would he be..."

As he said that, he turned back and glanced at the two of them: "Don't you two have prepared hats, gloves, and shoe covers?"

Conan: "..."

Hattori: "..."

Is breaking a door still a necessity for detectives?

Good guy, are you so well equipped?

Why do you feel so good at sneaking into other people's homes?

Are you sure you don't have any shady side jobs?

Fujino was a little annoyed by the two guys staring at him. He took out the equipment from his pocket and threw it away: "Hurry up and put it on. You two are still detectives. Why are you so unprofessional?"

"..."

After being taught a lesson, Conan and Hattori had no choice but to take it and put it on. They couldn't help but complain in their hearts: How can any serious detective do this?

Complaints are complaints, both of them put on their equipment and entered Sakura Masazo's shop.

Sakura Shozo's store is divided into two areas of activity. One side is a store on the first floor, and the top two floors are more suitable for daily living, including a study, living room, bathroom, and Japanese room...

Although they came looking for something, Conan and Hattori didn't have a clue about what they were looking for, and they felt like they had no idea where to start.

Fujino had done this thing many times before and immediately locked the target: "The person who killed Sakura Masazo was probably looking for something, but that thing probably wasn't money, so I think we went to the study to look for the possibility of finding it. higher."

"study?"

Both of them were a little confused about Fujino's suggestion.

"The study is the best place to find evidence."

Fujino explained in a serious voice: "Generally speaking, things like treasures and money will be hidden in safes. If they are more hidden, they should be hidden under the floor... As for some things related to the murderer, or other categories The things I’m not familiar with may be scattered in every room, but I feel that the thing the guy is looking for this time is more likely to be hidden in the study.”

Conan and Hattori looked at the confident Fujino and couldn't help but swallow.

You know what money is, but you don’t know about things related to the murderer?

Are you sure you didn't do it backwards?

Why does this guy feel less like a detective and more like a gangster?

…………

After searching the house, everyone found some clues in the study.

"Fujino, Hattori, come here quickly!"

With sharp eyes, Conan took a book from the bookshelf, said hello, and showed the pages to the two of them.

"Really found it?"

Hattori Heiji looked at the signature of [Ise Saburo] on the page and frowned: "In other words, this guy is indeed a member of Genji Hotaru."

"And that's not all."

Conan reached into the exposed part of the book and pulled out a piece of paper. He glanced at it and narrowed his eyes slightly: "This is the copy of the painting we saw."

Hattori Heiji guessed: "Since Mr. Shozo Sakura has this painting here, doesn't it mean that he put this painting in Sannoji Temple?"

"Ise Saburo is Genji Hotaru's man."

Fujino glanced at the portrait and said, "If he handed this thing over to Sannoji Temple, it means that he himself does not know the meaning of the code in this painting. Since the Buddha statue was stolen by Genji Hotaru's people, Well, it means that people within Genji Hotaru actually don’t know where the Buddha statue at Sannoji Temple is hidden, so they entrusted Brother Mouri to come over and crack the portrait to find the Buddha statue.”

Conan and Hattori Heiji had some vague suspicions in their minds, but they were still a little puzzled: "The people of Genji Hotaru don't know where the Buddha statue is?"

"To put it simply."

Fujino murmured, recalled it in his mind, and said with an example: "Conan, do you still remember the previous case of Cabagne where you and those kids picked up a treasure map?"

"Cabarnet?"

Hattori Heiji had no impression of this case. Conan recalled it carefully in his mind: "I remember that in that case, the boss took away the maple leaf gold coins, and was then put into prison. Later, his subordinates found the treasure map. Intend……"

As he spoke, Conan's tone suddenly stopped, and he said in surprise: "You mean this case is the same as that one? But this is unavoidable..."

“Using history as a mirror can correct our clothes, using history as a mirror we can view the future, and using history as a mirror we can create the future.”

Fujino looked serious, said in a very serious tone, and then continued: "In fact, some things are cyclical. Since they can encounter this kind of thing, then at least this kind of thing will happen within Genji Hotaru, at least That’s my gut feeling.”

"intuition……"

Conan was startled for a moment, and suddenly felt that Fujino's words were profound.

It is indeed a very powerful trick to use history as a mirror to view the past and the future.

Summarizing past cases and using experience as an inference can indeed save a lot of things and even analyze some very valuable clues.

Even if it is only once, if there are similarities, there will definitely be more similarities...

So Fujino’s intuition is to use history as a mirror?

No wonder!

So that’s it, I understand!

I still have a gut feeling that this thing works!

Thinking this way, he couldn't help but glance at Hattori Heiji, who was still looking confused, feeling a little disgusted.

Obviously, he and Hattori searched for so long yesterday but couldn't find any clues. They even overturned the car and almost died.

Today's operation with Fujino was smooth sailing, and by the way, we also learned important information about Genji Hotaru.

At this time, Hattori Heiji saw that Conan had realized it, but he had not yet realized it, and he suddenly felt a little unbalanced: "So what do you mean?"

"They attack you just to get the pekoe, and they are looking for Uncle Maori to find the Buddha statue. After all, things like Buddha statues can only be sold at a high price when combined."

Conan came back to his senses and explained to Hattori Heiji: "Since they don't know where the Buddha statue is, it's very likely that someone hid the Buddha statue. So much so that the person who said the Buddha statue was hidden is already dead. You can't speak. In this case, even if there is no rebellion among the subordinates, at least they are already in chaos. "

"What Fujino means is that some of them had disagreements, and those who wanted to get the Buddha statue killed each other. In the end, those who survived found the Buddha statue with a mantis stalking the cicada and an oriole behind."
