Chapter 317 Guardian Knight(1/2)
The silver-haired woman looked sideways at the old man at the entrance of the alley, with stern eyes and no expression on her beautiful face.
Kaminodong sneered in his heart.
Yushu is an artificial intelligence, but he is gentle, kind, sentimental, and more human than human. The woman in front of him is human, but more like a machine.
Curacao has a memory as good as a camera, so she naturally recognized who the old man in front of her was. She said in a cold and authentic voice: "You are the housekeeper next to Young Master Beihara, Kamino Higashi. You are following me secretly... The Beihara family is going to tear up the relationship."
The organization’s agreement?”
——Tear up the agreement and both parties take action regardless. The organization will naturally suffer losses, but how many people in the Kitahara family can survive?
When Toru Amuro came to negotiate on behalf of Rum, this was what he conveyed. Although Curacao didn't know the details, she also knew the general situation.
Kamino smiled: "The mysterious disappearance of the organization's generals, suspected of rebellion, what does it have to do with our Beihara family?"
Curacao narrowed her eyes slightly. She had seen too many betrayals in the organization, and she didn't even feel a little angry. She just felt a little troublesome.
She had also heard the name of Kamino Higashi from Mr. Rum. Facing this person, even if Curacao was not an ordinary operative, he was not sure of victory.
So now... the most important thing is to let Mr. Rum know the attitude of the Kitahara family!
After making up her mind, there was no nonsense in Curacao, she moved her right foot back, turned her wrist, and a short dagger appeared in her hand. She made a starting gesture, and Kanno Higashi slowly pulled out the knife in the crutch.
The silver-haired woman suddenly rushed forward and slashed out with Kaminodong's sword!
"clang!"
Under the moonlight, the sound of metal clashing sounded like bells.

"Stairs, tengu, cicada, rooster... what are these?" Toyama and Ye said in confusion.
"Of course, only the person who set up the code knows what it means. Otherwise, Hotaru Genji and his gang wouldn't have spent eight years trying to decipher it," Kitahara Sosuke said.
"Ling, we should go back." Yamakura Tae urged in a low voice.
"Please wait a moment, I feel like I have thought of something." Chika Suzu thought hard for a while, but she couldn't figure it out, so she asked: "Look at this picture, what can you think of?"
Yamakura Tae said helplessly: "We are not detectives, how do we know how to interpret the codes?" Although she said this, she still missed taking a look at the picture. After taking a second look, she couldn't help but say "Huh?"
One sound.
Conan's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked: "Yamakura-san, what did you think of?"
"This..." Yamakura Tae held her cheek and said awkwardly: "It seems a bit familiar...but it doesn't seem to be there...I have never seen this kind of picture before, but I always feel like I have heard it somewhere...
"
"Right, right?" Qianhe Ling said happily: "You think so too, right?"
Speaking in Kyoto was like singing. Unfortunately, the people around them didn't know how to appreciate it. They just looked at them expectantly, hoping that the next words they spoke would solve their doubts. But unfortunately, the two of them looked together.
For a long time, I still don’t know where that feeling of déjà vu came from.
"Hmm..." Mao Lilan was also thinking: "Is it also related to the color? The purple flower...could it be violet? Green-Utengu...Purple-Mount Fuji...Gold-rooster
…and earthworms…or loaches? Both of those are golden…cicadas and goldfish are red…acorns…acorns are brown…”
"Katsutengu...Mt. Fuji..." Chika Suzu muttered and repeated, feeling that she was very close to the correct answer, but she still could not unravel the veil.
"Yeah! I know!" An idea flashed in Toyama and Ye's mind: "There are cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji, right? Then the rooster eats the bugs, and the goldfish eats the cicadas... Huh?"
She discovered the problem.
——Goldfish don’t eat cicadas.
Suzuki Sonoko smiled and said: "Do goldfish eat wheat bran?"
"Ah!" Yamakura Tae and Chiga Suzu suddenly shouted at the same time.
"This picture... doesn't it refer to the name of a road in Kyoto?" Yamakura Tae said uncertainly.
"Place name?" Conan was stunned for a moment, but he was not familiar with the place names in Kyoto, so he subconsciously wanted to find a map.
"If you put it this way..." Hattori Heiji said: "Katsutengu refers to Karasuma Road, and Mount Fuji is... Tomokokoji!"
"The goldfish is Fuyamachi Road, right?" Yamakura Tae had completely forgotten that she still had a job. She was addicted to the sense of accomplishment of peeling off the cocoons to deduce the answer. She said enthusiastically: "Violet...well, violet should be
…”
"Isn't the song Haru no Ogawa singing about violets?" Chiga Suzu reminded.
"Yes!" Yamakura Tae said happily: "So it's Ogawa Road!"
"What about the loach and the rooster?" Yuan Shan and Ye asked.
"This..." The two of them stayed for a moment at the same time, silently counting the names of the main roads in Kyoto. Chika Suzu unknowingly sang with her fingers:
"Maruzhu Yi Erashi Oike
Sister Liujiaojin
Four Silk Buddhas, Takamatsu Mangojo
The jingling of snowshoes and the jingling of fish racks…”
Hattori Heiji was startled and looked up at Chika Suzu blankly.
Chika Suzu thought that he felt that her sudden singing was strange, so she blushed and hurriedly explained: "This is a children's song that has been circulated in Kyoto for a long time. It was compiled and sung to make it easier for children to remember road names, that is,
Maruta Town, Takeya Town, Ikawa, Nijo, Oshikoji..."
"Are you from Kyoto?" Hattori Heiji suddenly interrupted her and asked.
"That's right." Qian Heling said.
"How old are you this year?" Hattori Heiji asked eagerly.
"19 years old." Chika Suzu said.
"19 years old?" Hattori Heiji remembered that the girl he saw in the back hall of the temple eight years ago seemed to be a little older than him, and he was almost certain that Chika Suzu was the girl back then.
Toyama and Ye were stunned. Seeing his attitude, they suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She vaguely guessed something. She glanced at Chika Suzu, then at Hattori Heiji, lowered her head, and suddenly felt that the pictures in front of her had become an eyesore.
stand up.
Conan, who had just found the map of Kyoto on his mobile phone, was the only one who heard Hattori Heiji tell the full version of the story of first love. He could almost guess the thoughts of everyone present. He glanced at everyone's expressions and covered his mouth with one hand.
, coughed twice heavily.
"Cough, cough!"
Hattori Heiji suddenly came back from his memory. Just as he was about to take out the crystal bead as a token, he subconsciously glanced at Toyama Kazuha's expression.
Yuan Shan and Ye stared at the picture without looking at him.
Hattori Heiji felt flustered for no reason, and couldn't help but want to say something: "Well... Cicada, what Cicada said... seems to be... um..."
His mind was filled with images of Yuan Shan and Ye walking past him, as well as images of her expressionless face, with "disappointment" written all over her body, and he didn't even know what he was talking about.
"You Chan! This is the oil path."
Conan checked the map and found the locations of Karasuma Road, Tomiko Road and other places. He moved his fingers and looked at other places at the corresponding locations: "Loach is related to Yanagawa Hotpot, so it should be Yanagawa Road. If the rooster..." Conan pondered.
For a moment, his eyes fell on a string of words on the map: "Jiyou is the west...could it be Xidongyuan Road?"
It seems a bit far-fetched.
The little detective raised his head and glanced at Kitahara Sosuke, as if looking for some kind of recognition.
Kitahara Sosuke touched his chin and asked: "If it represents a place name, what does the color of the pattern imply?"
"Let's connect them together and take a look."
Conan slid his finger on the map. The streets in Kyoto were distributed in a checkerboard shape, with vertical and horizontal orders from east to west, north to south, and two roads of the same color were connected in a straight line.
So Conan quickly got a Chinese character——
"king?"
He looked at the drawing: "There's still a little more!"
He swiped a little in the air on the phone screen and said, "This location is..."
"Foguang Temple in Anma Mountain?" Yamakura Tae looked at the map and asked.
"It should be here." Conan said with a smile: "Jade represents gemstones, which is treasures. The treasures are in Foguang Temple."
Mao Lilan looked at Conan, whose whole body seemed to be glowing because he had deduced the answer. His eyes were focused and gentle. When Suzuki Sonoko saw this scene, she couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Hattori Heiji thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with Conan's reasoning, so he said: "Okay! Let's go to Foguang Temple now!"
"Wait a moment." Kitahara Sosuke did not move and asked: "Do you know where Genji Hotaru was caught?"
Conan and Hattori Heiji looked at each other.
Although they knew that Kitahara Sosuke led people to capture the Genji Hotaru gang, Kitahara Sosuke did not like to retell his case-solving process over and over like Mouri Kogoro - to be precise, they still learned about Genji from the police.
There was news that the murderer and accomplices of Hotaru's case had been caught, but they didn't know the details of the process at all, and Kitahara Sosuke didn't say much. The two only thought that it might involve some content that was not convenient for disclosure - such as the Yakuza
The members betrayed and exploited each other, so there was no questioning.
They shook their heads together.
To be continued...
