after a while.

The open space outside the gate of the five-story pagoda.

Xiaolan stood on the dirt outside the gate of the five-story pagoda, raised her head, looked at the reddish five-story pagoda in surprise, and couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Um~~~"

"In fact, the five-story pagoda has a very scary legend."

The middle-aged man standing [-] meters to the left of Xiaolan looked up at the five-story pagoda, still holding his hands behind his back, murmuring in a low voice and saying no more.

Dongfang Haoyue stood on the right side of the man, turned to look at the man, and asked curiously:

"What terrible legend?"

"In the early Edo period, the abbot of Genkataji Temple took a fancy to a young monk of high moral character."

The middle-aged man looked down at Dongfang Haoyue and then looked up at the five-story pagoda, and said in a deep voice:

“The abbot back then thought that the young monk could be the next abbot, but the young monk fell in love with the village chief’s daughter at the foot of the mountain.

Back then, the young monk resolutely violated the temple's laws and ran away with the village chief's daughter desperately. Who would have thought..."

The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment and revealed in a shocking way:

"The eagle sent by the gods caught the young man on the way to escape, leaving the village chief's daughter heartbroken, heartbroken, and helpless to watch the eagle carry the man farther and farther away.

Finally, people found the young man's body hanging on the top eaves of the five-story pagoda on the upper right corner of the gate. "

"very scary......"

Xiaolan clasped her hands in front of her collar and looked at the five-story pagoda with an uneasy expression.

Kudo Shinichi stood between Dongfang Haoyue and Xiaolan, glanced at the sharp corners of the top eaves of the five-story pagoda calmly, and looked at the middle-aged man calmly without saying a word.

The man stared at the five-story pagoda without changing his gaze, and narrated in a depressed tone:

"In the middle of the Edo period, an evil-minded abbot secretly sold the valuables in the temple and indulged in drunkenness and debauchery all day long, until one day...he disappeared without anyone noticing."

The young man paused for two seconds and made a shocking revelation:

"Shortly thereafter, people found the unruly abbot hanging miserably on the top eaves of the five-story pagoda."

"Huh...huh..."

Xiaolan's breathing became more rapid after hearing this.

She was trembling, too frightened to speak, and she looked up at the top eaves of the five-story tower with a shudder.

The young man looked at Xiaolan and Mouri Kogoro to Xiaolan's right in a hazy manner, and told alarmingly:

"Later, people started to spread rumors... Anyone who violates the forbidden laws of Huankuai Temple will be cursed by the five-story pagoda."

"call......"

Xiaolan was extremely panicked.

She put her right hand on Mouri Kogoro's left shoulder, and put her left hand to her mouth. She was too frightened to speak, and could only look at the five-story pagoda with a horrified expression.

"Hey......"

Mouri Kogoro glanced at Xiaolan calmly and warned melancholy:

"Xiaolan, don't show such a scary expression..."

suddenly!

"Crack."

It was the sound of small branches being trampled down.

"what!"

Xiaolan was startled, and turned around in panic to look at the place where the sound came from, and found...

An elderly man wearing a yellow cloth, with two gray eyebrows, a gray beard on his chin, sunken forehead wrinkles, no hair and no beard under his nose, stood in front of the bushes.

He stood under the shade of the tree like an undead, his face extremely gray.

next second.

"Ghost!!!"

Xiaolan clenched her hands into fists and placed them in front of her chin, looking at the elderly man in horror.

"A fuss."

Mouri Kogoro turned around, glanced at the old man calmly, glanced at the frightened Xiaolan, and corrected him angrily:

"What the hell is going on!"

At this time, the middle-aged man was slightly stunned, turned to look at the older man, and called politely:

"Master Danhai."

"Eh?"

Dongfang Haoyue, who turned to look at the elderly man and Danhai, turned sideways and looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.

The middle-aged man looked at Xiaolan's family, held his hands in front of his lower abdomen, and comforted him with a gentle smile:

"Don't be afraid, he is the abbot of Huankuan Temple."

"Abbot?"

Kudo Shinichi stood on the right side of Dongfang Haoyue, looking at Danhai curiously.

Danhai looked at the middle-aged man and questioned in a bad tone:

"Okabe Shigeyoshi, why are you bringing adults and children in here this time?"

Hearing this, Dongfang Haoyue looked at the middle-aged man, Okabe Shigeyoshi, with slight surprise, and secretly complained in his heart:

"His name also has the word "Chongji" in it. It seems that the screenwriter of Detective Conan really couldn't think of a good name!"

"Don't be angry."

Okabe Shigeyoshi looked at Danhai, spread his hands on his chest, palms facing outward, and said calmly:

"They are just pure tourists."

"Oh, these suspicious guys are not worthy of trust at all."

Danhai put his hands behind his back and folded his forearms.

He walked sullenly between Xiaolan and Mouri Kogoro, looking at Xiaolan and Kogoro back and forth unkindly, while walking forward along the five-story pagoda.

When Danhai passed by Okabe Shigeyoshi.

Danhai turned to look at Chongji and emphasized unhappily:

"Chongji, you'd better not let outsiders in casually."

"But, as for tourists..."

Okabe Shigeyoshi looked worriedly at the distant sea to the right, and hesitated to speak for a moment.

"shut up!"

Danhai looked back at Okabe Shigeyoshi and said angrily:

"Have you forgotten that the tourists caused outsiders to easily rob the temple?"

"I......"

Okabe Shigeyoshi was speechless.

"It's okay."

Danhai was relieved and asserted cryptically:

"In my opinion, those unfaithful villains will be severely punished by the gods."

Danhai paused for a second and declared with sharp words:

"Those who do evil are doomed to suffer consequences."

Having said this, Danhai looked deeply at the confused Xiaolan family and Okabe Shigeyoshi one by one, turned to look at the temple far ahead, and walked towards the temple with long strides.

"Excuse me......"

Xiaolan looked at Okabe Shigeyoshi's back and asked in confusion:

"what's going on?"

"Um, that's it."

Okabe Shigeyoshi turned to look at Xiaolan and told him embarrassedly:

"Some time ago, Oda Group signed a contract to acquire all the assets of Huankuai Temple."

Okabe Shigeyoshi turned to look at the orderly reinforced concrete farther to the right, and explained calmly:

"Although the group has not yet paid for the acquisition, their plan to build a theme park near the temple has been widely known."
