Conan's other me

Chapter 44

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you have to do it.

Fengyuan still cherishes his life very much.

He just went as planned to attract the attention of middle-aged men.

But Fengyuan felt that even if he didn't attract the opponent's attention, the opponent couldn't avoid Conan's kick.

At this moment, the middle-aged man has passed out, and the gun in his hand has been taken off and dropped to the side.

The insurance hadn't even been opened yet.

If this guy joins the black organization, he will only be cleaned up by his own people.

When Fengyuan was thinking like this, Conan ran over, looked at the middle-aged man who had passed out, and then looked at the pistol on the side, and heaved a sigh of relief.

He underestimated the danger of the opponent.

It was also his idea to try to condone the other party first. This plan is not dangerous for the two of them-if the other party does not have a gun.

Fortunately, everything went well.

"What did you use to kick?" Kaedehara asked curiously.The middle-aged man's face was bruised and purple, but he didn't bleed.

"Wooden toy." Conan pointed to the somewhat deformed thing next to it, "It was dug out from the bottom of the doctor's box."

This is quite clever.

Fengyuan didn't worry about it any more. After all, compared to his time travel, even Dr. Ali's unscientific props are not worth mentioning, let alone such a trivial matter.

After confirming that the other party really passed out, Feng Yuan opened the badge of the Boys Detective Team.

The badge has the function of remote calling.

Soon, Dr. Ali ran out with three pupils.

"Conan! Kaedehara!"

"Damn! You guys sneaked out again to solve the incident!" Yuan Tai said dissatisfied.

Mitsuhiko carefully looked at the middle-aged man on the ground, then clapped his fists and said, "By the way, I just saw a roll of rope, so I'll go and get it!"

Mitsuhiko ran away to find the rope, Ayumi worriedly asked Conan and Feng Yuan if they were injured, Genta seemed to be hesitating whether to kick the man on the ground.

While Feng principle answered, he put the bag containing the pistol into the car, and was going to hand it over to the Mumu Police Department on the way later, so as not to be touched by the elementary school students.

Soon, Mitsuhiko took out the rope and skillfully tied up the middle-aged man.

Conan then explained.

"Eh? Is this person also here to find the treasure?"

"Yeah." Conan nodded.

"Ah! Speaking of treasures," Mitsuhiko said, "Conan, Fengbara! We have found a key clue!"

"What clue?" Conan became interested.

"The pattern under the vase?"

"Yeah," Ayumi nodded, "There are robot dolls, candlesticks, plates..." Ayumi said while wringing her fingers, "Oh! In short, there are so many patterns!"

Conan, who was very interested in solving puzzles, couldn't sit still.

It was still a while before the Mumu Police Department arrived, and the middle-aged man was tied up a few more times, and the young detective team embarked on a treasure hunt again.

After a while.

"There are thirteen in total." Conan held his chin in thought.The above patterns are all images of the moon, stars, and the sun. Conan thinks this is a kind of code, "It would be great if there is a longer one that looks more like an article..."

"The doctor said it!" Mitsuhiko said, "The anonymous letter received by the doctor's aunt has such a pattern!"

"Really?" Conan looked at Dr. Ali.

Dr. Ali nodded: "My aunt came to me a few years ago and said that since ten years ago, she has received anonymous letters every year, all written in hiragana, and the content is 'Hello, teacher', 'please take care of your body' and the like. These hiragana letters are drawn next to this kind of graphics, like lace."

"Like lace?" said Conan. "And then? What about the letters?"

"I don't know what's going on, so I'll show it to you...uh, my mystery novelist friend who lives nearby."

"He was busy with work and didn't want to talk to me, but then he got more and more excited. He took the envelope and went to the room, and then walked out within a few minutes, and gave me a letter for me to give to my aunt."

"You still say that I am as warm as the sun father-in-law." Dr. A Li said while recalling.

Hearing this, Conan seemed to have thought of something, and glanced at Fengyuan proudly, very much like the former Hattori Heiji.

Feng Yuan was thoughtful.

He wondered if he could remember the memory.

But Shinichi Kudo was not there at that time.

Conan was a little disappointed without Fengyuan's question as a compliment, but luckily Genta opened his mouth: "And then? What's in the envelope?"

"It must be the interpretation table of the password." Conan said, "These passwords all represent hiragana."

The puzzle solving finally made progress, and the elementary school students were very happy.After knowing that the patterns represent hiragana, Conan quickly deduced the reading from the changes in the patterns.

Then I learned that the password is "please see" plus something in the villa.

"As long as you follow these things, you should find it..." Conan put his hands in his pockets and said confidently, "That important thing that must be hidden with a password!"

After speaking, Conan demonstrated on the spot, and soon found the last password: Please look at the plate.

But on the plate is the first cipher.

"Isn't this back to the original point?" Yuan Tai said.

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko looked disappointed, and Dr. Ari thought it was just a prank.

Conan felt a little embarrassed.

He just showed off proudly in front of his other self, but his reasoning ran into a dead end.

Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but glanced at Fengyuan again.

"That's right, Fengyuan-san, please help me think about it too!"

"Yeah...you didn't say a word at the beginning..."

The primary school students who had just fallen from hope to disappointment were eagerly counting on Fengyuan to help them think together, but Fengyuan felt a little headache.

Because logical thinking is still his original self, he thinks he is not as good as Conan in this kind of puzzle solving.

Conan can't figure out the puzzle, even if he can figure it out, it will consume a huge amount of brain cells.

However, although he doesn't want to do graphical reasoning, Fengyuan does have some ideas about where the "treasure" is.

"Have you searched for both the first and second floors before?" Fengyuan said.

"Huh?" The topic changed suddenly, and the primary school students were stunned for a moment before Mitsuhiko replied, "Yes, I have searched everything."

"Found nothing but the Doctor's prank!"

Dr. A Li rubbed his head in embarrassment, the pupils found out the box of toys that had been destroyed before.

"What about the attic?" Feng Yuan then asked.

"Attic? Is there an attic?" Yuan Tai looked at his companion in confusion.

Conan froze for a moment.

"From the outside, this villa must have an attic, right?" Feng Yuan pointed upwards, "Maybe the attic is hidden?"

Turning his attention away from the pattern, Conan couldn't help feeling that Fengbara was right.But he's more interested in solving puzzles...

But elementary school students are different.

They are more interested in rummaging through boxes and boxes.

So Ayumi, Genta and Mitsuhiko began to look at the ceiling, trying to find the gap where the attic is...

"Idiot!" Conan couldn't help but say with black lines on his face, "This is the first floor, if you want to find it, you should go to the second floor—"

However, before the words fell, he heard Ayumi's joyful cry, and the expression on his face froze all of a sudden.

"Found it!" Ayumi happily pointed to the middle of the ceiling, "There seems to be a gap in the chandelier!"

"Eh? Is that a groove?" Mitsuhiko objected.

Conan felt as if a bullet had passed through his brain, and he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

I saw that he took the paper that he had just made notes on, and connected the furniture with the code patterns he found on the paper one by one in order.The intersection points of the connecting lines converge in the middle, which is the position of the chandelier.

At this time, Mitsuhiko and Yuanta had already scrambled to climb onto the sofa.

Conan reminds them that the chandelier should be able to turn.

Soon, the sound of heavy objects falling came from the second floor.

"You bastard," Conan complained to Fengbara as he followed the elementary school students upstairs, "You figured it out tomorrow morning and you still haven't said anything."

Feng Yuan blinked innocently.

He is just a little better at observation.

The chandelier turned, and what opened was the stairs leading to the attic.

They found a long-dead man in the stairs, who appeared to have suffered a heart attack while writing a letter.

Conan also reasoned out the whole picture of the matter from the unfinished letter.

The deceased was the painter who painted pictures for Dr. Ali's uncle and aunt.He was commissioned to make a stencil for a $20 bill, but he hid in the house because he didn't want to hand it over because of a disturbed conscience.

The middle-aged man downstairs came to find the counterfeit banknote template.

In short, the treasure hunt organized by Dr. Ali came to a successful conclusion after the Mumu Police Department arrived.

Dr. Ali is very satisfied.
