Chapter 792: Hit Him!

"The second torii gate is the western line, and the third is the northeast line."

Standing in front of the torii gate at the top of the shrine, the four of them compared the three directions they had collected, and their reasoning clearly reached a critical point again.

Looking at the shrine from the front, Hattori Heiji carefully observed the specific structure of the shrine, and finally focused on the symmetrical fox statue inside the shrine.

"You don't think it's a plot in an old movie, where you can successfully open a hidden door by continuously turning the stone statue like a safe knob, right?"

Yuji walked to the statue, knocked on the stone twice, then held the aching stone and affirmed: "Yes, this thing is solid, not a movie prop."

"Hey, that's enough."

Hattori Heiji rolled his eyes, and then used his eyes to remind Yuji that someone was coming from behind him.

"Ah, isn't this Kudo-san? Did you hire help?"

Orange looked around at the three people brought by Kuroba Kaito, and his eyes paused on Yuji and Conan for a while, especially staring at Conan for a long time, before he puffed up his chest with some pride.

"Kudo-san, consider it your surrender."

"That's not right. We only bet on whether I can figure it out within one day, and we didn't say it has to be my own reasoning."

Kuroba Kaito put his hands on his hips in a shameless manner. He didn't feel at all that he was trying to bring hatred to Qian's original girlfriend Aoko. He laughed twice before pointing to the torii outside.

"We have written out the directions, which are south, west and northeast."

"...Oh...so what."

The girl's expression was well controlled. At least Kuroba Kaito didn't infer from her voice and face whether they and others had been doing useless work before, so he led Yuji and the others towards the shrine.

"It is said on the Internet that the characteristic of this shrine is that there is a blessed place behind it, so the shrine itself is not very big, and the only special decorations are the three fox statues at the entrance and in front of the blessed place."

Hattori Heiji held out his phone in front of the three of them to prove he was right.

"Even if it's not right, it doesn't stop us from trying."

Detective Osaka's words moved the other three people, and they confirmed this after thinking about it.

"The problem is, which direction corresponds to which statue, we don't know." Yuji scratched Conan's head and was slapped on the hand.

"The interpretation of the stone tablet, star point and moon is not correct yet."

The four of them walked to the money box together and surrounded the two stone slabs with stars and moons. They recalled their rough analysis before and confirmed the point proposed by Kuroba Kaito.

"It's true. The previous interpretation was that the moon confirms the time and the stars confirm the direction. But since we have to turn the four stone slabs upside down, the meaning of these two stone slabs must also change."

Yuji rubbed his feet on the star-studded stone slab several times, and an idea suddenly came to his mind.

"Is this thing really full of stars?"

"What do you mean?" Conan's eyebrows blinked, and then he suddenly realized: "Who said that if you put the moon together, it must be a star."

"I took it for granted before, but it's also possible that it's because of the wear and tear on the stone surface over time that it looks like this now."

Yuji squatted on the ground and covered some traces that were clearly caused by weathering and fission with his hands. The four of them stared at the stone slab through the boy's arms and finally saw some clues.

"There are more dots on the left, fewer dots on the right, and the dots on top are a bit irregular. This is an overhead view of the entire mountain."

Kuroba Kaito also put his finger on the stone slab and traced the only broken line from beginning to end, which was the line that misled Yuji into thinking it was some special constellation.

"Back, left, right."

According to the layout of the shrine, the three statues were indeed connected. Hattori couldn't help but smile confidently and held up his hat under the affirmative gazes of the other three.

"So now we have to get things sorted."

"Mission? What mission?"

Once they heard Kuroba Kaito talk about the mission, the other three people became confused.

"Nonsense, can the people in the shrine still watch you move the statue?!" Kuroba Kaito helplessly covered his face with his hands: "Of course you have to make the people in the shrine not care, and then the rest of the people move it. statue."

"This is easy to handle." Conan pushed his brother: "Do you have enough money to buy this mountain?"

"not enough."

"Okay, we brothers have nothing to do." Conan spread his hands and smashed them, then rubbed his hands excitedly and looked at Kuroba Kaito: "Why don't you go and lure them away, so that we can operate at will. "

"Oh, what a great way!"

Kuroba Kaito grinned, then grabbed Conan's face with both hands and kept pulling.

"Did you think I would say that, Detective!"

"This is not a good idea." Yuji's words gave Kaito some comfort, but he also received a "you traitor" glare from Conan.

"It doesn't matter to Kaito. The old woman and the shrine maiden at the Key Shrine will not chase him because of Kidd. And even if Officer Nakamori is really willing to chase him, the local police in Hakodate may not be willing to cooperate with him."

After breaking away from Kaito, Conan rubbed his chin and looked at the other three people: "How about letting Yuji use his evil power?"

"No, this kind of thing must not be used. If you do it once, you won't be able to bear it anymore."

"But you obviously..."

Yuji, who had violated the rules countless times, first said his refusal righteously, then looked at Hattori Heiji and Kuroba Kaito who were staring at him in surprise but had not said anything, and interrupted Conan who was about to say something.

"Oh no, these two guys agree with your idea, three against one, the noble Mr. Yuji is defeated, damn it, I can only succumb to you..."

[Obviously this guy also thought so, but...]

"I really want to beat him..."

The corners of Kuroba Kaito's mouth twitched.
