Chapter 620 - Crystal Beads and Diamonds
"Kazuha, where are you? How about the whole day today-" Before Heiji Hattori could finish asking, he was interrupted by a voice on the other side that had obviously changed his voice.
"This girl is in my hand now," the voice on the other side was a little sullen, but judging from the timbre, it should be a male voice. "Within an hour and a half, a person will go to the Jade Dragon Temple in Kurama Mountain, if you dare to call the police, she will die!" Before Hattori could ask what was going on, the other party had already hung up the phone. (Author: The distance from Mt. Hattori to Mt. Kurama is about 15-16 kilometers, and this distance is about 40 minutes by car, but the problem is that after arriving at Mt. Kurama, you still need to find the old site of Yuryuji Temple, so if Hattori Heiji is first in the south of Mt. Tsukikoji, or encounters a traffic jam, an hour is not enough, so the reasonable time requirement should be an hour and a half or even two hours.) )
……
"......" Qian Yu listened to the whole process with a gloomy face, and then took out his mobile phone.
"What are you going to do?" Conan wondered.
"Let's talk to Brother Heiji about this first, maybe there is something new on his side that can match our speculation." With that, Chiba used her mobile phone to call Hattori Heiji.
However, what Qianyu didn't expect was that it wasn't Hattori Heiji who answered the phone.
"What?" Qianyu looked stunned.
"Yes," Maolilan's anxious voice came into Chiba's mind from both the auxiliary unit and the sides of his ear. "Hattori was just told by the kidnappers that Kazuha had been kidnapped, and then they asked Hattori to rush to Kuramayama within an hour and a half."
"Kurama Mountain? We're in Kurama now," Chiba turned around, showing her expression to Conan and Fujiwara, who hadn't figured out what was going on. "Sister Xiaolan, are you saying that Sister He Ye was kidnapped to the Jade Dragon Temple in Kurama Mountain?"
"Jade Dragon Temple?" After repeating the name, Conan exchanged glances with Fujiwara, who was also unclear, and then asked the staff who happened to be cleaning next to him. When Chiba had already hung up the phone, Conan immediately told him the exact location of the Jade Dragon Temple, which was an abandoned temple, but it used to be quite popular, so there was a fairly complete road to climb up from the foot of the nearby mountain.
"If that's where the Jade Dragon Temple is, I'm familiar with that path," Conan said. "It was from there that we followed the attacker all the way when we were chasing him, and we were not thrown off until he cut down the drawbridge. Now it looks like the suspension bridge should be no more than 200 meters away from the Jade Dragon Temple. ”
"Yes, so now there's a problem," Chiba looked at Conan. "The other party asked Hattori Heiji to come in person, but the main owner obviously can't come now, what should we do?"
…………
An hour and twenty minutes later, the ruins of the Jade Dragon Temple – although according to locals, have been abandoned, it can be seen that this is now not at all like a temple that has been abandoned for more than five years, as they say, but a carefully maintained base.
"Da-da-da-" In the sound of such slow footsteps, Hattori Heiji walked up the stairs unhurriedly.
"Who is it?" Suddenly, two men wearing hideous Noh masks flashed out from behind the trees on either side, their iron swords emitting a terrifying glow.
"Tell your master," Hattori Heiji said lightly. "Hattori Heiji is here."
"Heiji Hattori?" The two of them obviously knew what he was coming, and one of them immediately turned and ran upwards, leaving only one of them to maintain a minimum of vigilance against Hattori Heiji.
Contrary to what Heiji Hattori had thought, the man had only run about 20 meters before he stopped and started shouting. "Hattori Heiji is here!"
Seconds later, words of similar content rang out in the distance. "Hattori Heiji is here!"
A total of five shouts were shouted - if they were all arranged in this pattern, there would be at least 10 men on the other side, and it would be at least 100 meters away from the temple.
It is very deep, and once you get in, it's not so easy to get out. But there is no way, you still need to go in, otherwise there is only one fate for the hostages.
But then again, even if you go in, will there be only one end for the hostages?
But even so, you need to give it a try – or you can't do it.
With the gradual approach, the command that was also quickly passed on by shouting at close range, the person who shouted upwards at first motioned for Hattori Heiji to follow him.
…………
When Hattori Heiji slowly walked into the dimly lit but well-organized temple, the first thing he saw was the assailant with the mask of an old man standing in front of the main hall and the distant mountains and leaves under his control.
"You're finally here, Heiji Hattori," said the old man, who said in a voice that felt a little familiar to Fujiwara. "I thought you'd run away like a coward."
"I obviously wouldn't do such a stupid thing, don't you think?" Hattori Heiji asked rhetorically. "Okay, what did you want to do when you called me over?"
"The crystal bead you used to find your first love," Old Neng said. "Give me that thing - it's worth a lot after all, and I need it."
"Do you need the crystal beads, or is it just money?" Hattori frowned slightly. "I think since you know I have that thing, you should know that it means a lot to me."
"Do you have anything of value other than that?" Lao Neng raised his head slightly and asked rhetorically. "If you have something else that you can monetize, I wouldn't mind changing your target. But the question is, do you really have any viable alternatives? ”
"Of course I have," Hattori nodded. "High-quality diamonds, portable and valuable, I wonder if you are interested in taking them and then leaving safely for us?"
"Diamonds?" Yuanshan and Ye had a stunned expression on their faces.
"Diamonds?" The old man's voice became serious. "Did you bring it? If not, I think it's hard for me to believe that you weren't planning to take the opportunity to escape. ”
"Of course I did," he said, and Heiji Hattori pulled out a small black box from his pocket. "Here are two high-quality, large, priceless diamonds with an estimated value of more than 5 million yen."
"I need to inspect the goods first," the old man said. "Put the box on the ground and let my people check it."
"You release the people first," Hattori Heiji didn't let him go. "What if you take the diamond and don't let us go?"
"All right," replied the old man. "I can give this young lady back to you first, but I want to make a gentleman's agreement in exchange - the two of us have a good deal, so I don't think you have any reason to lie to me, do you?"
"Have you found the location of the Buddha statue? Please let me know if you find one. ”
