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

"But there are so many people queuing up." Yuanshan Heye looked at the long line in front of the store and was a little surprised.

Ooka Momiji stared at the store in front of her. "People in Tokyo are really very patient."

"Yeah. It's normal to have an hour-long queue for popular stores like these."

"Xiaolan, you misunderstood." Toyama Kazuha approached Maoli Ran and Kudo Yuki, "That Kyoto girl was mocking, 'Those people are so idle and waste their time.'"

Ooka Hongye heard what Toyama Kazuha said, turned around and explained with a smile: "This is not a mockery. I expressed it this way to let the other party understand the deep meaning and avoid hurting the other party."

Yuanshan Heye couldn't help but complain in her heart: "You are hurting others more by doing this." But she didn't say anything else.

Kudo Yuki looked at the four secret codes in her phone. She lowered the transparency of the pictures and overlapped them. In an instant, the answer to the secret code appeared clearly in front of her, but she remained calm, just raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and continued to watch the fun from the side.

Ooka Hongye put her hands behind her back and looked ahead: "The time cost of queuing plus the energy cost of queuing, it would be great if these costs could be deducted from the price of the food."

At this time, Kudo Yuki's gaze turned to Conan and Hattori Heiji who were struggling to figure out the secret code information.

Kudo Yuki took out a piece of paper from her bag and folded it gently. This subtle movement was captured by Conan and Hattori Heiji, and they blurted out almost at the same time: "The fourth warehouse of Haido Port."

The next second, Conan reacted quickly and immediately pretended to be talking to someone, "You said the treasure is there, right, Shinichi-nii?"

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on them. Ooka Hongye was puzzled: "Why is it there?"

Hattori Heiji began to explain: "Sure enough, football is the key clue to cracking these codes. You see, in the first three codes, the word '足' is thicker than the other words, and '足' means 'addition' in Japanese, which means superposition.

So, if you put the words on the three ciphers together, you can get a line of strange words." As he said this, he put the three ciphers together and held them up to the sun, trying to find the secret.

Yuanshan Heye moved closer out of curiosity and looked at it carefully, "But I can't understand what it says at all."

"So this requires the code for the fourth arrow." Conan explained while operating his phone: "The word 'ball' is bolded on the fourth code, and the Japanese pronunciations of ball and bow are very similar, so we can deduce that 'drawing the bow' means 'reduction' in Japanese.

So, just overlap the first three codes to get the strange text, and remove the arrow marks. "

After that, Conan held up his phone to show everyone. "Like this, the text you got is understandable. This is what Shinichi said on the phone."

"It's true. It says the fourth warehouse of Beihu Port." Everyone suddenly realized.

Kudo Yuki covered her eyes with her hands and couldn't help but smile.

Hattori Heiji held the code paper in his hand and said, "Anyway, let's go to the fourth warehouse in Beihu Port now. Maybe we can find the treasure hidden by the nanny."

Yuanshan Heye looked at Ooka Hongye proudly, "Now it seems that the two of them solved the code almost at the same time. In this case, it can only be considered a draw."

Ooka Hongye pouted, with a look of unwillingness written all over her face.

Iori Muga, the butler, interrupted at this time: "Is that true? After Master Kudo solved the code, he told Conan the answer, and then Conan told us. If that's the case, wouldn't it be a little faster than Master Hattori who told us the answer directly?"

Ooka Hongye immediately became happy and clapped her hands, saying, "Yes, Iori, you are right."

Hattori Heiji frowned and said anxiously, "No, no, after Kudo untied it, he immediately..."

"I also think that Shinichi-nii will be a little faster."

Hattori Heiji whispered in Conan's ear: "Hey, Kudo, believe it or not, I will tell you your true identity."

"Just kidding, just kidding!"

Conan quickly smiled and covered up the truth, "I was just frightened by Heiji-nii's voice, so I said it along with him. In fact, they both solved it almost at the same time."

Ooka Hongye stroked her chin and said, "This is going to be difficult."

"So, what do you think of this arrangement?" Butler Iori Muga glanced at everyone and gave a suggestion: "Let's go to the fourth warehouse of Beihu Port first to find out about the sudden disappearance of the nanny's eldest son. Whoever uncovers the truth first will win."

Everyone nodded, indicating their agreement with the proposal, and then set off together towards the fourth warehouse of Beihu Port.

Kudo Yuki, Conan, Hattori Heiji and butler Iori Muga were sitting in a car, and the atmosphere inside the car was a little depressing.

On the way, Hattori Heiji frowned slightly, "By the way, what's your situation? You had expected this to happen, so you prepared the car in advance."

Conan also looked at the car behind, his eyes revealing a thoughtful look, "The car behind where Xiaolan and the others are sitting was also arranged by you in advance. It feels like everything was carefully planned."

Kudo Yuki looked at the two people's slightly nervous reactions, smiled gently, and added: "The best state is to be free from danger and worry."

Butler Iori Muga glanced at Kudo Yuki, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and his eyes turned to Ooka Momiji in the car behind him, "Yes, just in case."

Not long after, the group drove to Beihu Port. After getting off the car, they explained their purpose to the port staff.

The staff member was a middle-aged man with a kind face. After hearing what they said, he nodded and said, "You must have cracked the code to find us. Then I will take you to the fourth warehouse now." After saying that, he walked in front to lead the way.

Several people followed behind him. Kudo Yuki took a few quick steps and came to the staff member. She smiled and chatted with him: "Did anyone tell you to lead the way for the people who come here to decipher the code? Besides us, has anyone else been here?"

"Early this morning, a man with a beard came here. Then, another man came here. Just now, two more came here."

When Hattori Heiji heard this, his brows slightly frowned: "Four people came."

Yuanshan Heye looked puzzled. She turned to Mao Lilan and lowered her voice: "Could it be those four brothers?"

"It seems they have all figured out the code."

Conan walked silently beside his elder sister, his hands in his pockets, his head down in thought, without saying a word.

"Okay, we're here!" The staff member stopped and pointed to the slightly old warehouse in front, "That's Warehouse 4."

Everyone looked in the direction the staff member pointed. The door of the warehouse was half open, as if telling something.

Several people walked quickly to the half-open door. Hattori Heiji bent down and shouted loudly inside: "Hey, is there anyone inside? What's going on? At least answer the phone if you're inside." However, the only response he got was deathly silence.

When several people walked into the fourth warehouse, they found a dead person lying on the ground. The three girls behind were frightened by the scene and screamed, and subconsciously closed their eyes tightly.

Hattori Heiji hurried forward and said, "What happened? Tell me quickly."

"I don't know either. My eldest brother asked me to come here. When I got here, I found him collapsed there."

"Me too, big brother sent me a message asking me to come here."

"Me too."

Conan looked up at the three people and said, "In that case, you are the sons of the nanny, and the three brothers who received the secret code."

Hattori Heiji squatted down and carefully examined the dead body, frowning: "It seems that the person lying on the ground is the eldest son."

"Who are you guys?"

Butler Iori Muga stood up with a serious expression: "Someone has entrusted us to help crack the code of the treasure, in order to confirm the safety of your eldest brother."

"Ah."

"You are the one who works at my mother's place."

"The employer's friend."

"Excuse me, do you know why your eldest brother got into trouble?" Butler Iori Muga asked.

The tallest man pointed to the stairs above and said with a hint of fear, "He must have missed a step there and fell to his death."

The shorter man looked up at the stairs above, his brows furrowed, his face confused and bewildered, "Now I don't know if this was an accident or suicide."

Conan also came closer to check, his small body standing next to the body, "Excuse me, has any of you touched the body?"

"No, we haven't touched it."

Hattori Heiji observed the body for a while, then stood up and said, "It seems that this was neither an accident nor a suicide, but a murder. And in my opinion, the murderer is among you three brothers."

Mao Lilan looked worried: "There is no way to continue the game now."

Yuanshan Heye nodded and agreed: "Yes."

Ooka Hongye was behind Butler Iori Muga, "No, whoever of them solves the truth of this case first will be the winner."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on the case, Kudo Yuki took out her cell phone and called the police in a low voice.

A few minutes later, accompanied by the sound of sirens, Officers Megure and Takagi hurried to the crime scene. They quickly got to work and started investigating. Kudo Yuki stood aside and watched the progress of the case.

Officer Takagi took the deceased's wallet and looked through it carefully. "The deceased's name is Hamana Benzo, he is 42 years old and is a buyer at a shopping mall."

Inspector Megure looked up at the stairs above, his eyes inquiring, "Did he fall to death? It seems like he fell from there."

"It is not known whether this was an accident or suicide."

Hattori Heiji put his hands in his pockets and frowned slightly: "This is a murder case. Look carefully. The metal-framed glasses on the uncle's head are tilted. There is a crack on the right lens of the glasses, but there is no wound on his right cheek. Don't you think it's strange?"

"That's true."

"In other words, the victim's glasses fell off when he fell, and the murderer deliberately put the glasses back on the victim's head for some reason." Conan put the phone to his ear, pretending to talk, and said loudly: "What I just said is correct, Shinichi brother."

Officer Megure suddenly realized, "So you were on the phone with Kudo."

Officers Takagi and Megure stood up and walked in front of the group. Officer Takagi had a serious expression and asked, "When you guys got here, Hattori, the three of them were already at the scene. But why did you come here?"

"It's because of the code." Ooka Hongye folded her hands in front of her and raised her head slightly: "The treasure is hidden in the code."

"Hidden treasure?"

"Well, the mother of those brothers was a housekeeper who worked for a wealthy family all year round. She received a treasure from her employer before she died and hid it. Then, she made four codes containing information about the treasure hiding place and sent them to the four brothers.

However, just after the four brothers sent secret signals to each other, their eldest brother, Mr. Benzo, suddenly lost contact, and the nanny's employer had dealings with our Ooka family.

So they asked our family to help decipher the code, so I found Heiji, Kudo, and Kudo's sister."

When Kudo Yuki heard this, she thought to herself that her fun-filled drama would have to end here.

She shook her head helplessly. "By the time we solved the code and found this place, the three of them had already arrived. Then we saw the body at their feet. They all said that it was their murdered eldest brother who sent a message to ask them to come here."

Hattori Heiji glanced at the three brothers with a scrutinizing look: "However, the person who pushed the victim down from above is usually the first person to arrive here."

Inspector Megure looked at the three brothers, "Who was the first person to arrive here?"

The two brothers immediately looked at the tallest one, Kashiwagi Yu, who waved his hands hastily, "Officer, I was indeed the first person to arrive at this warehouse, but when I got here, my eldest brother had already fallen to the ground like this. Right, right, am I right?"

His eyes were full of tension and anxiety, and he looked nervously at Katsunobu Suda, who was shorter than him, hoping to get his support.

But Suda Katsunobu avoided Bo Shuyou's pleading gaze, and his expression seemed a little evasive: "That, I don't know. I can only say that when I came here, this person was already here. And at that time, my brother was already dead."

The shortest one, Zhenwu Saisuke, looked at the confrontation between the two with a vague look in his eyes, seeming a little guilty: "I came here after the two of them arrived here, so I can be ruled out as a murder suspect."

Conan quickened his pace and walked up to him. "That's not necessarily true. The murderer might have killed your eldest brother, Uncle Benzo, and hid somewhere in the warehouse. Then he waited for someone to find the body and pretended that he had just arrived at this warehouse."

Officer Gao Mu was a little puzzled: "But, you brothers are too distant. You actually use this person to address each other."
