Conan’s Corpse Picker

Jiang Xia pondered and continued: "I heard that all his books are very popular, but there is no fixed publishing house, so every time there is an interview for a new book, it will attract countless publishing houses to compete... So you come to me , is it because Mr. Ju has a new book published, and his criterion for choosing a publishing house is to 'decipher the code he gave'?"

   "...No, that's right." Yaxia editor was stunned for a moment, and then he was even more surprised. He had heard from "Gin Jiu" that he knew a reliable high school detective, and he was worried that the other party was too young to be reliable, but now it seems that this young detective is very reliable.

He quickly explained in detail: "Mr. Tachibana's birthday is coming soon. At that time, he will hold a birthday party in Karuizawa's villa, and the code will be announced at the party. The first person to decipher the code will be able to To get the opportunity to work with him... I, our publishing house really need this publishing rights!"

  …

   The high school student detective did not refuse the request.

   On the day of the big writers’ gathering, the four people in the restaurant—“Jiang Xia”, “Belmode”, “Gin” and the editor Yaxia, drove to Karuizawa.

  The car traveled through the mountains. I don't know how long it took, and a grand villa gradually appeared in front of me. In front of the vast villa, there were rows of various cars parked. Obviously, in addition to the editors and reporters who came to hear the news, there were also some big people who came to cheer.

The    party is held in the evening. There are dozens of dining tables in the courtyard, with all kinds of exquisite meals on them.

  While the guests were chatting with different thoughts, the emcee stepped up on the temporary stage set up in front: "Mr. Tachibana Wuliu's birthday celebration is about to begin! Thank you for coming. I'm today's emcee, Gui Hengping."

   "Gui Hengping?" Behind "Jiang Xia", a person who was familiar with "Gin Jiu" looked puzzled and said in a low voice, "I heard that the master of ceremonies appointed Xiaofuting Chunle, why did you suddenly change the person?"

The two melon eaters came over at some point, and laughed: "Mr. Tachibana forced the replacement—probably because Chunle's popularity has plummeted recently, he thinks it's a shame to find such an emcee, haha. After all, it's his fifth Tenth birthday, I can understand if you want to be grand."

   The object of everyone's discussion, Tachibana Wuliu, was already standing on the stage at this time.

"Thank you all for coming to my birthday party." Ju Wuliu is over fifty, a little fat, with an uncomfortable and arrogant smile on the corner of his mouth. He doesn't seem to want to talk nonsense with this group of editors who are asking for him. Quickly cut to the point, "Then, let's start the long-awaited reasoning game immediately."

"The completed manuscript was stored by me on a floppy disk and was hidden somewhere. If you find it, it will be published by your publishing house." Tachibana Wuliu smiled maliciously, "In addition, this In the new work, there is actually an 'Easter Egg' - although this is just a non-fiction novel, the villain in the novel has a prototype, and the 'villain' is hiding among the crowd at the party at this time."

   Hearing this, Jiang Xia subconsciously moved the memory bubble and glanced at the nearby gin.

   However, Gin obviously has no self-consciousness to be a "villain". At this time, it is pasted in front of his memory bubble. Check it carefully to avoid missing any details. No one knows whether this bubble will only be played once.

   Jiang Xia thought about it, after all, he was playing a "game of betting his life", so he had no choice but to get serious and keep watching the bubbles while no one was paying attention to him.

  …

  Tachibana Five Willows has announced the clues, and the clues are written on a huge banner, which is a very unnatural, like a hard made up sentence-[Satokawa 辺奇々なるzaoを].

   A group of editors are a little confused, but at least they can recognize the location of "Satogawa 辺".

   There is a small river behind the villa, so a group of cultural people sitting in the office rolled up their sleeves, put on shovels, and started rummaging along the river.

  Jiang Xia seemed to think of something, but he wanted to enjoy the time off from school again, so he didn't give the answer.

  The whole night passed, and no one managed to pull out the floppy disk from the river. But the editors were apparently not discouraged, convinced that it was because of the dark and poor lighting. So early the next morning, he picked up the shovel and ran to the river.

   Jiang Xia and Belmod are not editors, so they are not anxious about this, they are sitting in the courtyard and having breakfast leisurely.

On the table next to it, Tachibana Wuliu was sitting, chatting with a beautiful female editor, Tomomi Nonaka, and she suddenly approached and asked in a low voice with a smile, "Mr. Tachibana, that code and 'Little River' is totally fine, right?"

  Tachibana Wuliu did not reject her approach at all, and teased: "Oh? You have already unlocked the secret code? As expected of the go-getter of B1 Publishing House—since it has been unlocked, go and fetch the manuscript."

"Haha, people want to ask you for a hint just because they can't unlock the secret code." Nonaka Tomomi moved closer, her fair and delicate hand lifted gently, covering the big rough hand of Orange Five Willow, full of hints. Sexually, "Are you right?"

  Tachibana Wuliu was in a good mood, and squeezed her hand: "Then I'll give you a hint - if someone comes to you, just say so..." He whispered something.

   Tomomi Nonaka was stunned: "Ah? What does that mean?"

Although   Tachibana Wuliu was lustful, he seemed to love his puzzles more, got up and left: "I won't tell you any more, just go if you want!"

Tomomi Nonaka thought about it for a long time, but she didn't get any results. She turned her eyes slightly and landed on Jiang Xia next to her. Not long ago, she seemed to listen to that Yin Changzhi chatting with another editor and complained that this young detective was a hateful riddleman. The answer is not said, and at first glance, there is a very lack of social beating.

   She actually had some suspicions that Jiang Xia was bluffing—how could a puzzle carefully arranged by a well-known writer be solved by a young man with just two glances, so she still found Ju Wuliu first. But now...

  Tangerine Wuliu refused to talk about it, so he might as well detour and try Jiang Xia, anyway, there is nothing to lose.

   Thinking of this, Nonaka Tomomi regrouped and prepared to move to Jiang Xia's table. But before she stood up, she suddenly saw the woman beside Jiang Xia turn her head and winked at her. The profile of her face, which had just been covered by her hair, appeared in front of her, so beautiful that Tomomi Nonaka's breathing stagnates. The next second, she saw that the woman suddenly leaned to the side and put it on Jiang Xia's shoulder.

   Tomomi Nonaka: "…"

   Damn, it's okay to roll up a roll between serious business these days, even the beauty plan? !

   The corners of her eyes twitched slightly, she measured the fighting strength of both sides, snorted lowly, gave up the attempt, and turned away.
