Detective Conan: The System Takes Me to Zero's World

Seeing this, Conan took off his watch flashlight and handed it to Toru Amuro, and then placed the four secret codes in his hand in front of everyone.

"It seems that we still need to decipher these codes first. The code in the envelope we received at the beginning, the code posted on the door of the chapel, the code we found together, and the code next to Uncle Kawasaki's body. There are four in total now."

"In short, these coded papers should be related to Mr. Yasuo Hihara who committed suicide here." Kogoro Mori looked at the four coded papers.

Wakita Kanenori looked at the three people, "That Mr. Hihara Yasuo is your high school classmate, right?"

"Ah."

He watched the micro-expressions of the three people and said, "Maybe one of you secretly brought two mobile phones. Or maybe there is another person who is quietly lurking in a corner of this broken church."

Wakita Kensuke's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Then you guys should have something in common. For example, when you were in high school, did you do anything bad together?"

Nishino Sumiya hastily retorted, looking nervous, "That's not the case. However, if I must say, Wada who was killed in the bathroom before, and Kawasaki who was poisoned in front of the bathhouse, they both graduated from Shinano University like Fujiide."

Maori Kogoro then asked: "Shinano University is that famous university, right?"

"Yes."

Conan handed the four secret codes to his sister, then turned to face Toru Amuro and stretched out his little hand.

Toru Amuro understood and handed the watch to Conan.

Conan twisted the button of the watch, and the light accidentally shone into the gap. He found a clue and moved closer to observe. "Strange, there seems to be something stuck in the gap of this phone."

Amuro Toru also came closer to take a closer look, frowning slightly, "It really is there, it's a jelly-like substance."

After hearing this, Kudo Yuki put the code paper in her pocket and then moved closer to see what Conan and Amuro Toru were doing. However, she only saw the two of them, one on each side, slowly moving closer as if they were smelling something.

She couldn't help but roll her eyes and muttered quietly, "Did you smell anything?"

The two of them subconsciously stepped back a distance, with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Kudo Yuki raised her eyebrows, moved a little closer to the phone in Amuro Toru's hand, and muttered to herself, "Isn't this honey?"

The two of them then fell into deep thought, thinking about the problem.

Kudo Yuki stood between the two of them with her hands on her hips, smiling, and lowered her voice to tease, "Ah, you two were so close just now that you almost touched each other?"

When Toru Amuro and Conan heard the teasing, a look of discomfort flashed across their faces.

Amuro Toru coughed lightly, "Stop joking, it's strange that this honey appeared here, maybe it's related to the case."

Conan's face was also serious. "Yes, we need to think about why there is honey in the gap of the phone."

At this time, Wakita Kanenori walked up to the three people, his eyes wandering back and forth among them, with a bit of scrutiny: "I say, you three have a really good relationship."

Conan had an innocent smile on his face, his eyes were clear and bright, and he seemed defenseless, "It's okay."

Amuro Toru was suddenly alert, but his face remained calm, without revealing any flaws. "The three of us have only met a few times occasionally in Mr. Mori's detective agency."

Wakita Kensuke still had a smile on his face, but that smile did not reach his eyes.

Kudo Yuki realized that he was starting to test her and decided to listen to what he had to say.

Wakita Kanenori narrowed his eyes slightly, "But it seems that you three are a close pair of partners, and the little brother with glasses seems very smart."

The expression on Kudo Yuki's face was nonchalant. "He just likes Mr. Maori's detective reasoning. After all, he is just a child. And everyone will grow up. The people around them are the best role models for children to learn and grow."

Upon hearing this, Wakita Kanenori widened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion and dissatisfaction, "Miss, I really don't understand the meaning of some of your actions."

Kudo Yuki didn't take this to heart, and said with a relaxed expression, "There is nothing to worry about in the world, only mediocre people worry about it themselves."

Wakita Kensuke frowned and said in a more serious tone, "Miss, this is really hard to accept. Am I just making trouble for myself by trying to figure things out?"

Kudo Yuki just calmly explained the meaning of that sentence: "Many things are originally simple, but some people think too much and complicate simple things. You are asking for trouble by asking so many questions.

If you don’t quite understand, you can ask someone you trust about the true meaning of this sentence. It can also be said that there is no standard answer in this world. "

"Miss, I've learned a lot from your words. I'll ask someone." Seeing that he couldn't get anything out of her, Wakita Kanenori had to put on a forced smile and turned his gaze to Conan, "I'm really looking forward to what this little guy will look like when he grows up!"

Then he stood up straight and looked away.

Kudo Yuki spread out four pieces of code paper on the ground. Everyone sat around the stove, the orange flames dancing, reflecting the emotions on everyone's faces.

Maori Kogoro leaned over and stared at the code paper on the ground, his brows knitted into the shape of the Chinese character "川". "Which character should I start reading from? I'm totally confused."

Amuro Toru pretended to be depressed, with helplessness in his eyes, "If there is any clue, just give me a hint."

Nishino Sumiya waved his hands fiercely, "What clues are there?"

Koura Ikue looked depressed, her originally pretty face now full of gloom, "That's right."

Wakita Kensuke's eyes fell on the three people. "It's really frustrating. What club activities are you participating in? We asked you several times and you didn't tell us. This might be the clue to deciphering the code."

When the three heard this, their expressions became even more depressed.

Nishino Sumiya turned his head to the side, "It's okay to tell you guys."

Koura Ikue raised her head, with a hint of hesitation in her eyes, and looked at Maori Kogoro and the other five people, "But don't laugh at us."

Fujiide Yorito showed an awkward smile on his face, "Because if I tell you about this, you will definitely find it ridiculous."

Just then, Kogoro Mouri's cell phone rang at an inopportune time, and everyone's eyes fell on him.

Wakita Kanenori crossed his arms over his chest and said, "Looks like there's a signal."

Maori Kogoro took out his cell phone from his pocket and quickly pressed the answer button. "Hello? Hello, can you hear me?"

"I'm Yamato, a police officer from Nagano Prefecture. It will take another hour to clear the snow from the tunnel. We'll be there in about three hours. Just wait there."

"Hello, wait a minute." Before Maori Kogoro could finish his words, the phone was hung up mercilessly. He put the phone in his pocket helplessly, "He said he would come to pick us up in 3 hours and asked us to stay still."

Koura Ikue's lips moved slightly: "3 hours."

Fujiide Yorito felt relieved and relaxed. "That's good. Finally, there is hope."

Nishino Sumiye frowned and shouted angrily, "What a joke! We have to wait for another three hours! The murderer is lurking here. How can we wait here peacefully? During this period, someone else might be killed by the murderer in some way?"

Furuura Ikue calmed down at this time. She stared at Nishino Sumiya and said, "It is indeed possible. Wada went to the bathroom to look for the secret code, but was unfortunately shot in the head by a crossbow and died. It was you, Nishino, who drew the lot and asked him to go to the bathroom.

Later, in order to check what the strange sound was, Kawasaki was unfortunately poisoned in front of the bathhouse. At that time, it was you, Nishino, who came up with a way to choose which group of people to go. "

When Kudo Yuki heard this, her eyes narrowed into half-moon shapes and her gaze turned to Nishino Sumiya's slightly unnatural expression.

She activated the 'Real Reproduction Skill' and a series of images flashed through her mind. She discovered the clues, but she decided to stay put and wait and see how the situation develops before deciding whether to make any suggestions.

Nishino Sumiya's face was instantly filled with anger and panic, "Hey, are you doubting me?"

Conan heard their conversation and took the opportunity to strike up a conversation: "Excuse me, did you use Uncle Nishino's idea to select Uncle Nishino and Uncle Kawasaki to check the situation?

Wakita Kanenori bent down slightly and explained to Conan: "He took 3 boxes of mints and emptied 2 boxes. The group that drew the box with mints went to check what the sound was.

Of course, Master Kogoro always draws the wrong box, so whatever he draws is safe, so he drew an empty box the first time. "

Maori Kogoro frowned, trying to recall the scene at that time, "Speaking of this, I always felt that no matter which box I smoked, it would be fine."

Amuro Toru leaned forward a little, his eyes probing: "Are you saying he cheated?"

"That's not what I meant." Kogoro Mouri folded his hands across his chest, closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, without saying anything more.

Kudo Yuki stroked her chin and thought, "Mr. Maori, did you feel that any of the three boxes you chose would be empty?"

Before Maori Kogoro could respond, Nishino Sumi couldn't stand it any longer. He stood up angrily and clenched his fists. "Hey, hey, hey, are you guys trying to team up to frame me?"

He looked around at everyone and found that everyone's eyes were focused on him, but no one spoke. He walked angrily to where his backpack was hung, grabbed the backpack and put it on his back, glaring at everyone angrily.

"I won't trust anyone anymore. I have to protect myself." After saying that, Nishino Sumiya opened the door and ran out.

Koura Ikue stood up hastily and shouted anxiously, "Wait a minute, Nishino."

Toru Amuro also stood up and said, "Let's go over there too."

Everyone stood up and followed Amuro Toru to find Nishino Sumiya.

Kudo Yuki put the four code papers into her pocket, while Amuro Toru turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone. The faint light flickered in the darkness, illuminating the way for everyone.

Arriving at the door of the study, Gu Pu Yu Hui raised her hand and knocked on the door twice, "Nishino, please open the door."

Fujiide Yorito looked at the tightly closed door, his eyes full of helplessness, "We don't suspect you, Nishino."

All I could hear was Nishino Sumiya's angry roar from the study: "Stop talking. I will never open the door before the police come. I want to live. I don't want to die in this place."

Maori Kogoro put his hands in his pockets, looking nonchalant, "Forget it, he's safe hiding in the study."

Amuro Toru's eyes were serious, and his gaze fell on the door. "The premise is that the murderer is not hiding in this study."

Wakita Kensuke folded his arms, leaned against the wall, and looked serious, lost in thought: "Don't you think it's strange? Master Kogoro is a detective, why would the murderer specially call a detective?

If the murderer wanted to avenge the suicide of Hihara Yasuo here, then he could have just called you guys. Why did he call the detective? It would only get in the way. "

Conan's eyes lit up at this time, and he thought of a clue: "Oh, I remember that letter seemed to say that 4 people must come."

Amuro Toru held his phone in his hand, lighting up the surroundings, and thought: "Except for your sister Xue, there are a few of them plus the four of us, which makes a total of 4 people. Does the number 9 have any special meaning?"

Maori Kogoro stroked his chin, lowered his eyes, and thought seriously, "Let me think about it, the advantage of having 9 people is that it is convenient to prepare the paper for drawing lots. Compared with 5 or 7, it is easier to tear a piece of paper into 9 equal parts."

Wakita Kanenori pretended to be confused and said, "But, wouldn't it be OK if we just prepare an extra piece of paper to use as the lottery paper?"

After hearing this, Kudo Yuki's lips curled up slightly. "Why don't you tell me, when you mention 9, what can you think of?"

Everyone spoke up.

"The Nine Lotus Lanterns of Mahjong."

"Beethoven's Ninth Symphony."

"The legendary nine-tailed fox."

"How to play nine-ball in billiards."

Kudo Yukimi Conan, Amuro Toru, Mori Kogoro, and Wakita Kanenori all realized the meaning of 9, and her smile got bigger. "It seems that everyone has figured it out in their minds."

Koura Ikue looked worried and frowned, "Nishino, please come out quickly. Don't hide in the study room alone. It's safest for you to stay with us now. We don't suspect you."

She moved forward to the study door, pressing her hands tightly against it, as if this could shorten the distance between her and Nishino Sumiya.

Nishino Sumire was hiding in the study room and didn't appreciate it. His voice came from the door, full of anger and grievance: "It's no use to doubt me. It was indeed me who drew Wada at that time, so he went to that bathroom and was unfortunately shot by the crossbow arrow. But I couldn't do anything about it."
