Kogoro Mori approached and looked at Chi Feichi using a soft ruler to measure the length and width of the letter paper. "The length of the letter paper... is exactly 24 cm, and the width is..."

"19 cm," Hattori Heiji read the numbers on the soft ruler first, and concluded with affirmation, "This is one of the standard specifications of Japanese painting paper. The two portraits with Ye and Xiaolan just now should be No. 8 painting paper 45.5 cm long and 38 cm wide, while this letter paper is 24 cm long and 19 cm wide, which is the specification of No. 2 painting paper."

When Ikeki put away the soft ruler, Kogoro Mori guessed, "That is to say, the murderer is probably a painter?"

"It's not sure yet, but the murderer uses drawing paper to print it. There must be some reason..." Hattori Heiji thought about it carefully and took out his cell phone. "Anyway, let's go to the Eucalyptus site first. On the way, I will call Officer Otaki to tell him the discovery, and let him confirm the size of the original letter to see if it is consistent with the drawing paper No. 2."

The group stopped a taxi at the intersection.

On the way to Kinsui Temple, Hattori Heiji told Officer Otaki on the phone about the discovery of the letter size.

Kogoro Mori, Ikeki, Yokomizu Nanaki and Conan were in the back seat, studying the content of the letter and the two Gua songs left on the scene.

There are many temples and shrines in Kyoto, so many that they can be seen everywhere. There are famous temples or shrines in the east, west, south and north, and there is even a saying that "one temple in five steps, one temple in ten steps".

The first Jinshui Temple at the site of the Eucalyptus was not a large temple. A large pond was built in the temple. The main hall was built next to the water. Other buildings were only the side hall and the monk's house next to the main hall. Usually, there were only two disciples in the temple who presided over and presided over.

"The person who was killed this time is Quan Hui, the host of Jinshui Temple. Although Jinshui Temple is not a large temple, Quan Hui seems to be a very famous monk..."

Hattori Heiji walked along the gravel road outside the pond, and arrived at a place with a warning belt. He stopped and looked at the pond to continue introducing the situation of the items. "He was tied up with a rope and threw him into this pool, and was drowned. It is speculated that the death time was from 2:00 to 3:00 in the evening, and there were no witnesses. In addition, he was found on the stones at the scene. Daozhen Mu Song, 'If the east wind blows, it will cause the fragrance of the ting tree to ride the wind. I am the owner of the plum blossoms, don't forget the spring day'."

"This is a poem written by Daozhen when he moved to Kyoto. It is used to sing the plum blossoms. It means that when the spring breeze blows, the fragrance of flowers comes to me with the wind. Even if the master is not here, spring will not forget me..." Yoshimizuki said, turning to look at the surrounding environment, "It seems that there are no plum blossom trees nearby."

"This waka seems a bit strange..." Conan held the photos of the waka content in both hands. When others turned to look at it, he held the photos high with one hand and pointed the finger of the other hand at the small words on the photo. "It's here! It says 'にshuい(Flower fragrance)', but if it was the era when Daozhen left behind poetry, shouldn't it be written as 'にほひ' and read as 'にshuい'?"

"Ah, that's true." Hattori Heiji affirmed thoughtfully.

"But as long as the pronunciation is 'にshuい' is enough, right? It's just that the prisoner accidentally wrote it wrong," Kogoro Mori said indifferently, turned around and urged, "Since the police have investigated all the places that can be investigated, there is nothing good here. Let's go to the next scene as soon as possible!"

Chi Feichi also felt that there was no clue to check here. When he turned around and walked out, he reminded Kogoro Mori, "But in this way, it means that the murderer's research on history and Chinese is not very profound, or the murderer does not understand the works of Daozhen so well. It is not like the kind of people who over worship Daozhen, collect information about Daozhen, and kill people according to the legend of Daozhen resentment spirit. The reason why the murderer chose the victim is probably not because a certain characteristic of the victim conforms to the legend, and there should be other reasons. Then, the investigation can give priority to motives such as revenge, robbery, and silence of accomplices. Compared with the motivations based on religious beliefs, the murderer with these motives will know the deceased."

Hattori Heiji added, "That is to say, the interpersonal relationships of the victims are still worth investigating, especially those disputes involved in the victims, those who may have resentment towards the victims, and the connection between the two victims, need to be paid more attention!"

Kogoro Maori nodded repeatedly when he heard this, "Ah, that's right!"

Conan followed and sighed helplessly.

If this continues, Uncle Kogoro will become more like the one who is an apprentice... No, at the beginning, Chi Feichi was a little better than Uncle Kogoro. After Chi Feichi was familiar with the process of the investigation of the case, Uncle and Chi Feichi were completely no longer on the same level.

Sometimes he would doubt whether Chi Feichi had some cognitive problems, so that the uncle could take advantage of the situation and get a powerful apprentice with nothing?

This is not impossible.

...

The second eucalyptus discovery site was still a temple.

The temple is called Obo Temple. Due to the fire, the scene is covered with charred ruins.

"The second victim was the monk who was also a monk from the big temple. He was a monk from the big temple. He later arrived at the Obo Temple. He was quite famous in Kyoto, and probably was comparable to the host of Kinsui Temple. On the night three days ago, he was poured with gasoline and burned together with this temple. He died miserably," Hattori Heiji walked around the charred wooden pillars on the ground and led a group of people in. "The fire was burning three days ago, about two o'clock in the morning. In addition, in the place outside the door that was not burned by the fire, a note with the song "Do Shin-song song is written, which is 'The water is as deep as the sea and the moon, and the heart can finally be seen in the heart'..."

"It means that even at the bottom of the water, the moon can be reflected on the water. My heart is like the moon and will not lose its clarity," Yokohiko looked around and murmured in confusion, "But there is no pool here, and there seems to be no water to reflect the moon. When the murderer chooses a waka, isn't it based on the environment? So what is the reason why the murderer chooses these two waka songs separately?"

Chi Feichi heard the murmur of Yokosuke, thought for a moment, and then asked Hattori Heiji for the letter, "Hattori, give me that letter."

Hattori Heiji immediately took out the letter and handed it to Chi Feichi, "Brother Feichi, have you discovered anything worth noting?"

"No...I'm not sure if I've found it," Chi Feichi took out his cell phone, took a photo of the contents on the copy of the letter, and returned the letter to Hattori Heiji, "I just want to study it more."

"It turns out that there are still some rooms that have not been burned," Kogoro Mori stepped onto the corridor of the charred building, frowned and sniffed the smell in the room. "The smell here is too bad, there is a strange burnt smell..."

As he said that, Kogoro Mori stepped forward and opened the door next to him. He felt a stronger burnt smell coming to his nose, and quickly took two steps back.

Yueshui Qiqiu also felt the smell in the air strangely. He held his breath and walked to the door to look into the room. He saw many paintings on the floor that were burnt. "It's a Buddha statue painting, it seems that all of them were burned... Huh? There seems to be a painting in front of the wall over there, which is quite complete..."

Kogoro Mori took the lead in the house and tried to avoid the charred Buddha statues on the ground. When he arrived in the corner, he squatted down and looked at the unburned Buddha statue. Suddenly he noticed the flower branch in the lower right corner, "Huh? Isn't this a realgar orchid branch?"

"Is this Buddha statue painted by the painter who painted portraits for Xiaolan and Ye before?" Yue Shui Qiqiu also recognized the flower branch and looked at the overall painting. "This Buddha statue is very well drawn, and it should be drawn by a painter with a deep painting foundation..."

"Lingling...!"

The ringtone of the phone call suddenly rang.

Hattori Heiji, who was standing at the end, took out his cell phone, looked at the number displayed on the screen, and answered the phone, "Officer Otaki, what's wrong?...what, what? The third victim appeared?!"

When Conan and Kogoro Mouri changed their faces when they heard Hattori say this, and Yokomizu Nanaki looked at Hattori in surprise.

The murderer committed the case four days ago and three days ago, and there was no movement in the next two days. Chi Feichi did not expect that a third victim would appear today, but if you think about it carefully, you won’t find it strange.

The primary school student of Death is here, will the victim be far away?

"Is your location...the art gallery on Omiya Road in Shimokyo District?...Mr. Maori and others are also with me. We are at Oboji Temple, and now we are here..."

Hattori Heiji hung up the phone and recounted the location of the third eucalyptus site with others.

Before leaving Obo Temple, the group also took pictures of the situation in various parts of the room with their mobile phones and the unburned Buddha statue.

On the way to Xiajing District by taxi, Yokosui was sitting in the front seat and used his mobile phone to search for information about realgar orchid branches on the Internet.

Hattori Heiji looked at the photo of the Buddha statue on his mobile phone and frowned, "There are traces of smoke on the edge, but not too many, which means that when the fire started, the painting was in the room, but it was not placed with other paintings at the beginning, but was placed in that corner. Someone must have deliberately placed the painting there..."

Conan leaned beside Hattori Heiji, and looked at the photo of his mobile phone with Hattori Heiji, and frowned.

If the murderer placed this painting specifically there, he should have wanted to avoid the painting being burned, then what must be the relationship between the murderer and the painter who painted the painting...

Kogoro Mori stared at the flower branch in the lower right corner of the painting and looked at the picture, "The realgar orchid in this Buddha statue is exactly the same as the realgar orchid in the portrait of Xiaolan and the others!"
