Ke Xue mourner

Chapter 182 Where is Dad?

"Conan, where have you been?"

Mao Lilan had already finished talking about the book with the editor, and when she came back to her senses, she found that Conan had disappeared. When she saw Conan coming in at this moment, she couldn't help complaining.

"Ah, I went to the toilet, and then I met this big sister outside~" Conan smiled flatteringly, and by the way used the new name Kabori as a shield.

"I'm sorry, this child must have caused you trouble, right?" Mao Lilan said apologetically to the new name Xiangbaoli.

The new name, Xiang Baori, waved his hands and forced a smile, "No, this kid is very smart."

"Ah, it's Miss Xinming. You're here to inquire about your father again?" the editor put away Mao Lilan's manuscript, noticed the situation here, and asked.

Xinming Xiang Baori turned to look at him, clasped his hands on his chest, and nodded expectantly, "Is there any news about my father?"

The editor scratched his head in embarrassment, "The manuscripts are all faxed by your father every Saturday, and we can't contact your father."

"Didn't he add any news to the manuscript?" Xinming Xiang Baoli was a little bit unwilling.

The editor shook his head helplessly, "Not at all."

The new name, Xiang Baoli, frowned suddenly, with a worried expression on his face, it seemed that I really felt sorry for him.

The editor couldn't bear it, thought for a while, and reminded: "A famous detective came here just now, why don't you try to find him? The sleeping little..."

The editor's face is not very good at the mention of this name, the sleeping Kogoro, the sleeping detective, really...

He changed his words: "Mr. Mori Kogoro, the famous detective, you should have heard of it, right?"

Xinming Xiang Baoli's eyes lighted up a little bit, but during the month when her father disappeared, she had already found many detectives, and so far she had no clues, so she didn't dare to have too much expectations.

"Big sister! Are you the daughter of the author of this novel? I know about your father~"

Conan listened to the situation and understood the situation, held up the magazine, and took the initiative to speak.

Shinna Kabori looked at Conan in surprise. Although she didn't really believe what a child said, she really had nothing to do, so she didn't want to miss any news, so she bent down and asked softly:
"Is this true, little brother?"

"Conan, don't talk nonsense." Mao Lilan was worried that Conan's nonsense would make others sad.

"I didn't talk nonsense, sister Xiaolan." Conan replied, and then pointed to Hanyu Qingan who was talking to Suzuki Sonoko on the sofa behind.

"Brother Hanyu just said that there is a puzzle hidden in this new novel named Ren Taro, let me try it, so Brother Hanyu must have solved the riddle~"

Mao Lilan believed it now, "If Hanyu-kun said it, then it should be right."

Shinna Kahori glanced at the person Conan was pointing at, and she seemed to be more credible than a child's words, so she walked quickly to Hanyu Qingan, and asked cautiously and eagerly:
"Mr. Hanyu, could you please tell me some news about my father?"

Suzuki Sonoko glanced warily at this beautiful woman who "proactively struck up a conversation", and asked, "Are you..."

It was only then that Xinming Xiangboli realized that he was being rude, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xinming Xiangboli, and Xinming Rentaro is my father."

Then she went on to explain: "My father has been missing for a month. I have been looking for him, but there is no news at all. Just now, the little brother Conan said that Mr. Hanyu knew about my father, so I took the liberty s."

Suzuki Sonoko was a little puzzled, "Isn't your father still serializing novels recently?"

Shinna Kahori explained the ins and outs, Suzuki Sonoko immediately felt relieved, and felt sympathy again, she turned her head and pushed Hanyu Kiyoan, "If you know, tell them quickly."

Then she suddenly remembered what happened to Fujiwara's family last time, and whispered into his ear to add, "If it's not embarrassing, then let it be."

Hanyu Qingan patted her on the head, he knew that Sonoko Suzuki might be jealous, so he didn't rush to contact Shinna Kahori after solving the puzzle before, otherwise Sonoko Suzuki might think that he was so enthusiastic for some purpose.

Originally, he planned to ask Conan to bring it up after he finished solving the riddle, but now that the new name Xiangbaoli happened to come to the door, he no longer kept it close.

"Don't be in a hurry. According to the information I have speculated, your father should be fine. You should sit down and calm down a little, and I will tell you slowly."

Hanyu Qingan showed the attitude of discussing business that he hadn't used for a long time, and comforted the new name Kapori.

Although the new name Kabori was burning with anxiety, her good upbringing allowed her to maintain a superficial calm. She sat across from Hanyu Kiyoan and seemed to be listening quietly.

Hanyu Seiyasu waved to Conan, and the latter took the magazine in his hand knowingly and put it on the table, while Morilan and the editor at the side also leaned over to listen.

"This is your father's latest series of novels, called "1/2's Verse". Before the series started, he published a paragraph of challenges to readers. You should be aware of this, right?"

Shinna Kabori nodded.

Hanyu Qing'an continued: "Then the puzzle begins here. The challenge book is your father reminding the readers that this story is not just a story on paper, but also a mental duel between himself and the readers."

"That is to say, he hides another puzzle in the story, a puzzle that jumps out of the paper and comes to the real world, for readers to solve."

The new name, Kabori, was influenced by his father, and he is also very familiar with reasoning, so he can understand it easily.

Conan stroked his chin, a little surprised by Hanyu Qingan's attitude, the other party must have solved the puzzle, and also knew that the clue in the first episode was asking for help, why didn't he act in a hurry?
"Clues are needed to solve puzzles. In a novel, the first thing we notice is the text, and the most important thing in the text is the title, which is the name of this series of stories-"1/2's Vertex"... ..."

Hanyu Qingan told the method of solving the puzzle to Shinna Kabori, and then pointed to the lines of the author character in the first episode, guiding her to see the clues.

"Please, hurry up, hurry up, save me...!!!" Xinna Xiangbaoli realized it quickly, and tried to interpret the clues in the first episode by herself, but the result surprised her.

She became even more worried, "Could it be that my father and mother were kidnapped?"

Like a conditioned reflex, Mao Lilan turned around and ran to the corridor while clutching her phone, "I'm going to call Police Officer Mu Mu!"

Hanyu Qingan didn't even have time to stop him, this is too skillful!
But it doesn't matter, even if I explain it clearly, I guess the new lady will still be worried, insisting on calling the police, it would be strange to stop her.

Presumably, Police Officer Megure wouldn't mind making a trip in vain...
