The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 145 Telling a Little Lie

"Two months ago, that should be when Mr. Xinming disappeared?"

If Fujino remembered correctly, what this editor said should be an important breakthrough.

"That's right!"

The new name Xiang Baori beside him touched his tears, "My father disappeared a week before it was published in the Literature and Art Times."

"That means Mr. Shinname disappeared after restarting Detective Zuofenji."

Fujino pondered for a moment, and then continued to ask the simple and honest man: "Is there anything weird in Mr. Xinming's book?"

"There are some weird places."

The simple and honest man nodded, and continued: "Mr. Xinming said in the prologue of the work: 'I would like to tell the famous detectives all over the country, those who think that their reasoning ability is superior to mine, come and find out the truth of this case. Let's go!' After the release of this prologue, it attracted a lot of feedback from fans... And this time, Mr. Xinming also appeared in the book, and became an old friend of Detective Zuo Wenwen... From Detective Zuo This is the first time since the text was released.”

"Does Detective Zuowen have many fans?"

"Yes, there are many fans, and they are very fanatical."

The honest man nodded, "Just half a year ago, there were fanatical fans who threatened us, saying that if we didn't serialize Detective Zuo Moji again, they would set fire to our editorial office."

"That is to say, Detective Zuo Moji has many fans, and even has a certain number of fanatic fans."

After a pause, Fujino then asked: "Have those fanatical fans reached the point where they would not hesitate to even threaten to burn the editorial office?"

"Could it be that those fans kidnapped Mr. Xinming?!"

The honest man shook his hands and suddenly realized: "If those fans threaten the new teacher for the resurrection of Detective Zuo Wenzi, it is indeed not impossible!"

"I don't think so."

As Fujino said, he asked Shinna Kabori: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Ninam should have decided to restart the Zuomoji series before he disappeared. Before that, you should have been in regular contact with the two of them. Bar?"

"Yes."

The new name Xiang Baori nodded, "Just the day before my parents disappeared, I went to their house for dinner...and stayed overnight, and I only found out the next morning that said 'Let's go out a little bit. Click on the note."

"But if that's the case... then why did the new teacher disappear for no reason... If he was kidnapped, then what did the prisoner want?"

Just when the honest man was confused, there was a sudden noise from the printer nearby.

It is a newly written manuscript by a new name, Rentaro.

Fujino stepped forward and picked up the new manuscript.

Seeing this, the honest man did not stop him. After all, now, it is basically certain that the new name Ren Tailang has been involved in some kind of turmoil...... Even something unexpected has happened.

The upper side of the original manuscript is still one-half of the vertex, and the signature remains unchanged.

If Fujino remembered correctly, the secret code should be hidden in one-half of the vertices.

Flipping through several manuscripts, Fujino suddenly said to everyone: "If this is the case, I already know the secret hidden in the manuscripts."

"The secret hidden in the manuscript?"

Hearing this, Shinname Kahori and the honest man came over.

"The secret is actually hidden in the name of the original manuscript... the top of one-half."

As he spoke, Fujino showed the original manuscript in front of the two of them and pointed to the text on each page that exceeded the normal format: "For the top of one-half, it should be said that every time Mr. Shinname writes in this book When it appears, the text at the top of each column of dialogue with Zuo Wenwen is only one-half, that is, one-half of the text... Looking at it this way, it should be 'Please come quickly and save me'."

"what?!"

"If that's the case, then my father must have been kidnapped now!"

"Then these codes must have been deliberately written by Mr. Xinming to deceive people?!"

"That's right, but the codes in other manuscripts can't be solved according to this solution..."

As he said that, Fujino put the manuscript on the table beside him, "Others, according to this solution, the final result is just meaningless text."

"Did it change to another format?"

The honest man also came over and said doubtfully.

"I don't think that's the case. There are other mysteries."

Fujino looked at the manuscript, and then glanced at Haibara Ai not far away from the corner of his eye.

To be honest, my memory of this episode is really vague.

If you want to solve the case, you need to know who the murderer is, add some memories together, observe the scene and rely on your reasoning ability to solve the case.

He knew that the new name, Ren Taro, was in Room 2407 of the Kubato City Hotel, but it was a bit troublesome how to decipher these codes reasonably.

The trouble is a little more troublesome, but a conclusion can still be drawn.

The reason why he pretended not to know was all to confirm a conjecture of his...

Under Fujino's gaze from the corner of his eye, Haibara Ai, who was beside him, came to Fujino's side silently, stepped on his feet and picked up a manuscript on the table, and looked it over.

After a while, she suddenly said plainly: "Every time the new name Ren Tailang appears in France, according to the law of the silent pronunciation of h in French, if you rearrange the words, you should be able to get the follow-up code, right? "

Then, Huiyuan Ai pinched the long hair next to her ears lightly, showing the appearance of a little girl again: "Hey? Am I right?"

Fujino: "..."

Well, it's still kind of weird.

How does it feel like Conan?

Similar to Conan's Erha, Haibara Ai is a spoiled little lolita.

The two are not comparable.

However, this also confirmed the conjecture in Fujino's heart...

After thinking about it, Fujino picked up the manuscript, looked at it, and said: "If it is based on the silent rule, then these codes can indeed be solved. The first code is 'please come and save me', and the second code The second time is 'my current location', the third time is 'Kabato City Hotel', and the last time it is 'Room 2407'."

"The information obtained by connecting them is that Mr. Niana is currently in room 2047 of the Kubato City Hotel."

"Then let's go there quickly!"

Niina Kahori said anxiously: "If it were now, my father might still..."

"It's better to call the police first!"

The simple and honest man took out his mobile phone, "If Mr. Xinming is really kidnapped, the other party will probably tear up his ticket if he goes over hastily!"

As the editor in charge, Xinming Ren Tailang's life is directly related to his interests.

If the new name Ren Taro dies, the series of Detective Zuo Wenwen will definitely be cold.

At that time, his performance will not only be finished.

The editorial agency will also suffer considerable losses.

"I don't think so."

At this time, Fujino suddenly stopped the simple and honest man, "If I guessed correctly, Mr. Xinming was not kidnapped at all."

"Not kidnapped?"

"It's a bit troublesome to explain..."

As he said that, Fujino looked at Shinna Kabori meaningfully: "Miss Shinna, everything will be revealed when we get to the Kubato City Hotel."

The new name Xiang Baoli seemed a little puzzled, after a moment of stupefaction, he still chose to trust Fujino.

Afterwards, several people drove to the Kubado City Hotel.

The Kubado Municipal Hotel, the Kubado Hotel, and the Kubado Hotel are all one place.

It's just called differently...  

Speaking of which, it seems that the last time Kaitou Kidd was going to appear on the top of this hotel.

At the door of Room 2407, Fujino held a wooden knife and knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman came into view.

He is about 50 to [-] years old, and the look of disappointment on his face can be seen even if he doesn't say it.

"mom?!"

When Shinname Kahori saw the woman, she couldn't help but scream.

"Shampori?"

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the new name Xiang Baoli.

"Where's my dad?!"

The new name Xiang Baoli asked anxiously: "Have you been kidnapped by someone?"

"Kidnapping?"

The middle-aged woman frowned, thought for a moment, and was about to say something when a voice came from the room behind her: "Is it Xiangbaoli?"

"dad?"

After Niina Kahori entered the room, he walked quickly towards the room opposite the door.

Fujino and his party also entered, and they saw an old man lying on the bed with gray hair and haggard complexion.

"Dad, what are you..."

Looking at his father's haggard face, Shinna Kabori asked anxiously.

"This is all directed and acted by me."

The new name Ren Taro turned pale and forced a smile on his face, "I found out that I had cancer two months ago, I'm really sorry I didn't tell you... After all, I want this code to be more realistic... and it's just my current one. You will be sad too.”

"dad……"

Tears flowed down Xinna Xiangbaoli's eyes.

"Okay, stop crying."

Shinname Rentaro raised his hand with difficulty, and wiped Shinname Kahori's tears with his skinny fingers, "Since you were able to arrive, someone must have cracked my password, right? Didn't this incident alert the police?"

"The police were not alerted, but someone did decipher the code you left behind, dad."

The new name Kahori nodded, and turned his gaze to Fujino: "It was Detective Fujino who cracked your password, Dad...and he didn't call the police, and it was Detective Fujino who requested it."

"Detective Fujino?"

The new name Rentaro sat up from the bed with great effort, leaned on the bedside, and turned his gaze to Fujino: "You didn't call the police here, which means you have already seen the truth behind this matter... Even I directed and acted All this matter was guessed together."

"Well, it's a little troublesome to explain, but it's true."

Fujino nodded without saying any more nonsense.

He could tell that the old man in front of him was already at the end of his battle.

Wasting time is equivalent to wasting the other person's life.

At this time, the new name Ren Taro spoke again, and his words seemed a little weak: "The reader's recognition of my works is the happiest time in my life. I have been a writer for 40 years, but there is still a kind of happiness that I don't know." Enjoyed it, that is, I hope that someone can rush to me and say that he has solved the riddle of me, an old man one step ahead..."

"Your wish has come true."

As he spoke, Fujino picked up the wooden knife, "Speaking of which, I'm also a fan of Detective Zuo Wenwen."

"Is that so?"

A gratified smile appeared on the face of the new name Ren Taro.

Of course, Fujino told a little lie. He is not a fan of Detective Zuo Wenwen, but in order to satisfy the wish of a dying old man, this little lie can be told, and the big deal is to make it up later.

Afterwards, in the last time of his life, Xiangboli chatted with Ren Taro a lot, and from time to time, he also had a few words with Fujino.

In this way, the time came to midnight in a blink of an eye.

After a period of silence, the new name Rentaro became completely silent.
