Chapter 62 Mingmei's Time Capsule (13)

Yanagimachi sighed, and the shovel in his hand accidentally slipped.

"Amei hasn't replied to my letters, so I went to her apartment to look for her. It turned out that she seemed to have not been home for a long time." There was a slight tremor in Yanagimachi's voice, and he was obviously in a very heavy mood.

Teacher Kobayashi at the side asked in confusion: "But why are you hindering us?"

Yanagimachi lowered his head and was silent for a while, then slowly spoke: "Because I'm very scared. The fire in the music classroom was caused by me and the bad kids in the neighborhood sneaking into the school to play with fireworks. I'm very afraid that Mingmei will tell this."

After hearing this, Murata asked in surprise: "Is that true?"

Yanagimachi nodded and said in a low voice, "I ran away after being discovered by Mingmei who happened to come to school. I guess it was because I didn't handle the fireworks properly that the music classroom next door caught fire. So the time capsule will probably record what happened. An active firefighter was once an arsonist. This is not something that can be laughed off."

Yanagimachi recalled Mingmei's encouragement to him on the day of the graduation ceremony.

"Have some courage, Yanagimachi." Mingmei's voice echoed in Yanagimachi's mind.

Yanagimachi took a deep breath and said, "Yes, that's what she said to me. She must have wanted me to muster up the courage to turn myself in."

After hearing this, Mr. Wakasa sighed and said, "So you're hindering everyone from finding the time capsule?"

Ichihashi also plucked up the courage and confessed his thoughts.

"Actually, me too," Ichihashi whispered, "I originally wanted to take Mingmei's message away in advance after finding the time capsule."

Murata looked at Ichihashi in surprise and asked in confusion: "Ichihashi, you too?"

Shiqiao took a deep breath and said, "During the Chinese language test, I copied the answers from Mingmei who sat in the row in front of me. We were both called to the teacher's office, and I was worried that she would resent me for this."

After hearing this, Murata also sighed, "Me too, actually. The painting that won me the prize was actually painted by Mingmei in the same place. Her work is obviously much better than mine. But I was the only one who won the prize. I guess she must have written about it in the time capsule."

Conan frowned when he heard this. He said angrily, "How could she write such a thing?"

The three looked at Conan in surprise and asked, "Huh?"

Conan explained: "She is so gentle and considerate, and she thinks of others. She is the most popular person in the class. How could her messages to everyone be so negative?"

After hearing this, Murata said thoughtfully: "But how can we know if we don't find the time capsule?"

Conan said firmly: "Because we have found it!"

After hearing this, the three of them showed surprised expressions. They had never expected that Conan would be able to analyze the meaning of these codes so meticulously.

Conan explained: "Do you remember? The words 'Library Committee Member Miyano Akemi' in the code are obviously different in direction from the other codes. This is used to indicate her own position as a library committee member. So, the place where her name is written represents the seat she sits. The positions of these codes actually correspond to the positions on the keyboard. According to the direction written on the code, rotate the keyboard clockwise, and we can find the corresponding key."

他继续分析道:“第一个暗号‘能让人看见莫奈’的按键连起来看就是‘し(si)’。第二个暗号‘袭击飞机’是‘い(i)’。第三个暗号‘别去画画’中的‘i’念成‘yu’的话就是‘く(ku)’。第四个‘医生别说谎’就是‘こ(ko)’。第五个‘别烧掉89护身符’中的8和9是键盘上的F8和F9,再结合图书室的键盘就是‘や(ya)’。”

Conan connected the pseudonyms and said, "So, these pseudonyms together mean 'this breeding hut'. This is where we found the time capsule."

After hearing this, Mr. Kobayashi suddenly realized: "So that's how it is, Conan, you are really amazing!"

Conan smiled and said, "In fact, Yanagimachi-nii must have discovered this, which is why he came here."

After hearing this, Yanagimachi looked at Conan in surprise and said, "Hey! How did you know that?"
