Chapter 110 110. Kibumi Shrine

As you go deeper into the mountain, the trees become denser and the crowds become sparse. As you climb up the steps, you will see the Katsura River flowing through the mountains on the right. At the end of the steps you can see a simple stone torii gate.

Next to the torii gate stands a stone tablet also covered with moss, which reads "Kibumi Shrine", which is the name of this small shrine.

On the way here with Sawada Emika, the two of them already knew her purpose.

The things in the shrine don't sound complicated. It's probably that someone came to the shrine at night and didn't touch anything in the shrine. Maybe they came to engage in some feudal superstition.

It doesn't matter what kind of feudal superstition you engage in, as long as you wait until night to catch the person.

Not many people come to this small shrine. The old woman may not want to call the police because she knows who the person is.

She may have used the sacrifice as an excuse to appease her granddaughter and secretly caught the person who came to the shrine in the middle of the night.

This kind of thing was easy for the two of them to figure out. Without the unsolved puzzle, the two of them became somewhat interested. However, since they agreed to help the miko solve the incident, they would not just run away.

They just have to find a way to solve it quickly. They don't want to stay here until night.

When Sawada Emika introduced the two detectives he brought to his grandmother, before the old man who started to frown could say anything, Hattori Heiji directly exposed her without any shame.

"Mother-in-law, you must be suspicious of people who come at night. We can help you determine who comes to the shrine every night, so you don't have to stay up late and wait."

"Emika, didn't you tell them that this was Hashihime's visit? There is no need to call the police or detectives, they can't solve the problems in the shrine."

Sawada Emika looked embarrassed after hearing her grandma's scolding and didn't know how to reply.

She didn't grow up in a shrine and doesn't really believe in these things. She did mention it just now, but she was just paraphrasing what grandma said.

If you don’t believe it yourself, the detective you hired will certainly not believe it either.

Hattori Heiji didn't expect that this old woman was still a stubborn person. She wasn't planning on squatting at night. She was really superstitious. "Old woman, there's no need to cover your ears. Why did Hashihime come back to your shrine? Isn't this place dedicated to the water god?"

The palace minister of the shrine was unmoved, "Because there was a heartless person among the people who became friends here, the pillars of the shrine were inspired, and Hashihime appeared in her ugly moment."

The old woman talked a lot, but Hattori Heiji also understood quite well. Hashihime is also enshrined here.

The old woman also revealed that this happened because a couple who came here to seek marriage had a conflict.

She even made the reason so clear, saying that she didn't know who came at night, but Hattori Heiji didn't believe it anyway.

But seeing that the old woman was determined not to say anything, there was nothing I could do.

Sawada Emika saw her grandma insisting. She had no choice but to invite Hattori and Heiji to leave, "Sorry, since it's not artificial, I won't bother the two detectives."

When the two detectives encountered such an unexplainable client, they both felt a little depressed and walked out feeling depressed.

Hattori Heiji, who had been quarreling just now, waned and didn't want to speak, but the little detective who had been silent before said, "If Sister Sawada is worried about the safety at night, we can wait nearby at night. Since you entrusted us, we will do our best. Completed.”

Sawada Emika was a little hesitant after hearing this, saying that it was impossible not to be moved. If she hadn't been worried that she and her grandma wouldn't be able to handle the matter, she wouldn't have asked the two children for help.

But grandma said so firmly just now, she was a little unsure whether it was a human, a god or a ghost, so it was really not appropriate for them to wait in the mountains until midnight.

"Heiji, what are you doing here!"

Toyama and Ye saw a young girl speaking to Hattori Heiji from afar, and they felt angry in their hearts.

Look, there is no one in the deep mountains and forests nearby, just the two of them. The shrine behind them is said to be very effective in seeking marriage.

Thinking that he had heard that marriage-seeking spirits came eagerly here, He Ye began to feel aggrieved and shouted out without caring about anything else.

When she yelled, she felt really embarrassed that she cared so much about that person. Unless there was someone else around, she would have wanted to leave directly.

Hattori Heiji didn't know that Kazuha had thought so much. When he saw the other three people actually running here, his voice was as cheerful as usual, "Hey! Kazuha! Didn't you go shopping across the street? Why did you come here again?"

"

For some reason, Kazuha ignored him with an angry look, and Yonoki Rina's tone of voice when answering him was a bit strange.

"We heard that this small shrine is very effective in seeking marriage, and it also provides after-sales service. Isn't that why you came here, Hattori?"

Hattori Heiji: "..."

I feel like I'm being blamed by evil spirits, but I can't figure out why I'm being blamed by evil spirits, and I don't even know how the other person is being blamed by evil spirits...

Even a wise detective cannot guess the truth without any clues.

Hattori Heiji had no choice but to go back angrily, so he could only explain to them truthfully that they were entrusted to investigate the incident.

Hearing that they were here for a commission, Yuan Shan and Ye felt a little better.

When he explained what the specific commission was, Yuanshan and Ye were already hugging Xiaolan. Looking at the dense jungle where the sunlight could not penetrate, they already felt a hint of coldness, "So this place is really..."

Is it haunted?”

Hattori Heiji didn't take it seriously. After hearing this, he saw Kazuha's scared look and deliberately stepped forward to pull her to take her into the shrine to see, "There are no gods or ghosts. You will know when you come in and take a look."

Got it!"

Yonoki Rina suddenly understood. No wonder this shrine guarantees after-sales service. At that time, someone said that she came here to seek marriage without having to worry about being betrayed in the future. If she asked the specific reason, the other party would give up.

Seeing that both girls were interested in seeking marriage, she was also curious about how the shrine could protect people from betrayal, so she decided to come and have a look together.

She had researched a lot of shrine stories before coming here, so she knew a Hashihime legend related to Kibune Shrine.

It is said that after a woman was abandoned, she went to Kibune Shrine to pray for seven days. Finally, she was moved by the gods, and the gods told her that after she had been soaked in water for 37 and 21 days, she could become a ghost and take revenge.

After that, the woman succeeded in becoming a ghost. She didn't stop after killing the betrayed person, and still hurt others nearby, especially the betrayed person.

The nearby villagers couldn't bear the disturbance and decided to enshrine it and build a shrine, which is now the Hashihime Shrine next to the Uji River.

Kibune Shrine on Mount Kurama in Kyoto is a famous place for red leaves.

Since this shrine is Kifune Shrine and enshrines Hashihime, it is quite reasonable to hear that it guarantees marriage and guarantees after-sales service.

So, these things here are commercial hype?

Although she has been so brainwashed by all kinds of marketing in later generations that she thinks everything she sees is marketing, Rina Yonoki doesn't dare to guess casually.

She still remembered the hotel owner last time. She thought it was all commercial hype, but she never expected that the hotel owner was really dead.

The place where the crime occurred is fictional, but there are still many shrines with this name. I chose this word because the traditional Chinese character makes me feel more ghostly. The other shrines mentioned are real.

Originally I wanted to call 110 the police station, but after thinking about it I didn’t want to write about dead people, so I changed it, so Kawen was cut off and changed orz
