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

Chapter 299 Hotel Mystery: Bombs, Codes, and Hidden Criminals

Officers Megure and Takagi stepped forward and introduced themselves.

"I'm Megure."

"I'm Takagi."

Lun Tian Shengzi was surprised: "Didn't you say you didn't want to rely on the police?"

Hibiki Eri explained: "The serial bomber has already sent a warning letter, so how can we not call the police in this situation? In fact, as long as we beat the criminal, we will be fine.

During the interrogation just now, we have roughly identified the suspect. While you were waiting, we have secretly called the police to assist in handling the case. "

Officer Megure and Officer Takagi asked anxiously.

"Yes, yes, Miss Eri, what's the code?"

"You guys untied it, right?"

Hibiki Eri flipped through the coded pictures on her phone and said, "Yes, of course."

She pointed her phone screen at the group and explained in detail: "These three codes are fence codes. They are to arrange the words in a certain shape in each line, and then string the words together in whole paragraphs to achieve the code."

Inspector Megure looked at the code and said to himself, "The question is, what shape should it be arranged in?"

Kisaki Eri began to analyze in depth: "The kana circled in a box at the beginning of the code represents the keys on the keyboard. Then, you can get the answer by arranging the letters displayed with this kana.

The first code starts with the same key on the keyboard as W, so reading along this shape is 1. The second code starts with the M key, so it is 3420. After that, the third code is the V key, which means the room where the bomb is placed is 2.

Lun Tian Shengzi was shocked: "Isn't that the room where Mr. Lin Qi stayed?"

Kisaki Eri quickly picked up her phone and typed a text. "It's okay. I just sent an email to ask that Sera's child to come over. And Miss Kudo will be fine by her side. I should convince Mr. Hayashizaki now."

At the same time, after receiving an email from Eri Kisaki, Masumi Sera went to room 2114 with Mari Akai and Yuki Kudo.

Kudo Yuki rang the doorbell, and the "ding dong" sound of the doorbell sounded particularly crisp in the quiet corridor.

Lin Qi Danji walked towards the door with an irritated look on his face, frowning tightly, and muttered: "Damn it! Could it be another..."

He opened the door and first saw Kudo Yuki, then the smiling Sera Masumi, and muttered impatiently, "Sure enough, didn't I tell you not to come again?"

At this moment, Akai Mary took the opportunity to use the door as a cover and quickly ran into the room. Before Hayashizaki Danji could react, Akai Mary had already flashed behind him, raised her knife and chopped him on the back of the neck.

Hayashizaki Danji fainted and fell forward.

Akai Mary landed steadily, her eyes calm, "Compared to persuading or something, this is still faster."

Masumi Sera echoed from the side: "Yes, yes."

Kudo Yuki rushed to the bed and called out, "Hurry up, it's under the bed."

Sera Masumi was puzzled: "Huh? Why is it a bed?"

Akai Mary revealed the key information: "Didn't this man named Hayashizaki say that the bedclothes were a little crooked? The reason they were a little crooked was because the bed was lifted up, most likely to hide a bomb."

Kudo Yuki rolled up her sleeves and prepared to take action: "Aunt Mary, you will be responsible for defusing the bomb. Zhenchun, help me lift the bed, this will be a bit heavy."

Sera Masumi nodded, and walked to the bed with Kudo Yuki, holding the edge of the bed tightly with both hands. They both took a deep breath at the same time and used all their strength to lift up.

"One, two, three!" With the shouts of the two people, the heavy bed was finally slowly lifted up.

A black package was exposed under the bed, with red numbers flashing on it. It was obviously a bomb.

Kudo Yuki stood beside the bed, a faint smell entered her nostrils. She frowned slightly and glanced around the bed vigilantly.

As she got closer to the bed, the smell became more pronounced, a faint smell of marijuana.

Mary Akai opened the tool kit, and the zipper made a slight "squeaking" sound. She quickly found the pliers, picked them up and brought them close to the surface of the bomb, carefully observing the complicated and chaotic circuits inside. "It turned out that this bomb was made by an amateur, and it can be solved in less than three minutes."

Sera Masumi stood up, walked towards the unconscious Hayashizaki Danji, and looked down at him: "Then I will take this unconscious man downstairs first."

At this time, Kudo Yuki received a message from Kisaki Eri. The light of her phone screen flickered in the room. She looked down at the text message:

Carry Mr. Hayashizaki to room 1302. ——Hiki Eri.

Akai Mary turned around and ordered, "If the police are here, leave it to them. Although it's very faint, there is a smell of marijuana in this room. He may be smoking in the room to cover up the smell of marijuana."

Masumi Sera carried Hayashizaki Danji on her back. Hayashizaki Danji's heavy body pressed on Masumi Sera's back, making it a bit difficult for her. "Looks like we need to search the room. Maybe we can find the marijuana. I know, Mom."

After reading the message, Kudo Yuki put away her phone, and the light on the phone screen disappeared. "Lawyer Hime, I just received a message saying that Mr. Hayashizaki should be sent to room 1302."

Masumi Sera carried Hayashizaki Danji on her back and walked out of the room. She took every step very steadily, fearing that the person on her back would slip off.

Kudo Yuki followed closely behind her, looking around, alert to possible unexpected situations.

Suddenly, she found a man wearing black sunglasses standing at the corner of the corridor. The man's figure seemed a little blurry, but exuded a sense of 'secret'.

Kudo Yuki narrowed her eyes into crescent shapes and looked around the corner, trying to use her True Appearance Reveal skill to see the man's face clearly through the pair of black sunglasses.

But when the man noticed it, he quickly shrank back, not wanting to be discovered.

Kudo Yuki muttered to herself: "Isn't this the driver of the rare black antique car? Why is he here? The distance is a bit far, and I can't tell if he is in disguise. 】

She had an intuition that this person's appearance here was definitely not a coincidence.

Kudo Yuki silently said in her heart: [Sign in.]

"Ding, congratulations to Xiaoxue for signing in successfully today and getting 260 mall points and the Sharp Tracker Image Wizard.

The current mall points are 2660, and the system space contains: healing elixir, recent information on the winery organization, location distribution map of the winery base, and sharp image wizard. Please continue to sign in every day, Xiaoxue."

The system announcement sounded: "Sharp Tracking Image Wizard can automatically track the designated target person to record video and voice, and transmit it to the mobile phone after it expires."

"Ding, the prop has been used. Since the case of Haneda Hiroshi has not yet been solved, the identity of the target person is hidden."

Kudo Yuki frowned slightly and spoke telepathically: "Shu Shu, what's going on? Only by investigating the case of Haneda Hiroshi can we know the identity of that man?"

Shushu shook his little head and answered, "Yes, Xiaoxue. The case of Haneda Hiroshi has some inexplicable connection with this man. Only when you solve the mystery of the case of Haneda Hiroshi can you know the identity of this man and the purpose of his appearance here. Come on!"

Kudo Yuki hesitated for a moment: "Okay, this is the only way for now." She turned around and glanced at the figure at the corner. The doubts in her heart became stronger and stronger, like a fog spreading in her heart.

At this moment, Sera Masumi noticed that Kudo Yuki had not caught up, and she turned around with difficulty while carrying Hayashizaki Danji on her back. "Sister Yuki, what are you thinking about?"

Kudo Yuki quickly collected her thoughts and smiled easily: "Nothing, I just saw a strange person. Maybe I saw it wrongly."

Sera Masumi frowned slightly, "Strange person? Where is he?"

Kudo Yuki pointed to the corner of the corridor and said, "There seemed to be someone standing there just now, but he's gone now. Maybe I'm dazzled."

Masumi Sera placed the unconscious Hayashizaki Danji against the wall in the corridor and walked towards the corner. After checking, she found nothing unusual. She walked back and said slowly: "Sister Xue, there is nothing here. Are you too tired and hallucinating?"

"Maybe. Let's send him over."

Masumi Sera carried Hayashizaki Danji on his back again, and they continued to walk slowly along the corridor. The doors of the rooms they passed by were all closed, and the entire corridor was quiet and a little depressing.

Sera Masumi panted slightly, "This guy is really heavy. I hope we can get to room 1302 soon."

Seeing that Sera Masumi was a little tired, Kudo Yuki took the initiative and said, "Masumi, let me carry you instead."

Sera Masumi hesitated for a moment, but handed Hayashizaki Danji to Kudo Yuki. She easily carried Hayashizaki Danji on her back and continued walking forward.

The man walked to the corner again, and looked at them silently as they walked away, without any movement. He lowered his head slightly, and his black sunglasses covered his eyes, making it impossible to see his inner thoughts. He stood there, as if thinking about something very important.

Kudo Yuki and the other two finally arrived at room 1302.

Masumi Sera walked up and knocked on the door.

The door was opened and Officer Takagi appeared at the door. Seeing Sera Masumi and Kudo Yuki carrying Hayashizaki Danji on their backs, he stepped forward and helped take Hayashizaki Danji over and placed him in a corner of the room.

Everyone in the room turned their eyes over.

Sera Masumi rolled her eyes and signaled to Kudo Yuki. "Sister Yuki, I have to go back and see how mom is doing, but I can't tell you directly."

She opened her mouth and said, "Well... I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do. I have to go back first. Sister Xue, please help here."

"Okay, go ahead and be safe."

Masumi Sera turned and left, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

Kudo Yuki changed the subject: "Lawyer Fei, are you talking about the case?"

"Yes, we are discussing some details of the case."

Lun Tian Shengzi looked panicked: "Then, could it be that the bomber is the doorman Mr. Mushi?"

Kisara nodded and said, "Yes."

Lun Tian Shengzi asked: "But didn't he just help carry Mr. Lin's luggage and didn't enter the room?"

After hearing this, Kudo Yuki also joined the ranks of those who wanted to reveal the truth. "He lied about not entering the room. Mr. Hayashizaki asked the hotel to temporarily prepare a humidifier because of his cough, and he even knew the location of the humidifier clearly.

I'm afraid he moved the box with the bomb into the room along with Mr. Lin Qi's luggage. He set up the bomb before Mr. Lin Qi arrived and then left a secret signal on the table."

Lun Tian Shengzi looked confused: "But how did he get into the room? If he took the key, he would be discovered immediately."

Feiying calmly exposed: "That is his other key. Didn't Mr. Mushi help Mr. Lin Qi find his lost room key before?

At that time, he was able to press the key into the soap, leaving the shape, and then go to make a spare key. Didn't Mr. Hayashizaki complain that there were not enough toiletries in the room? "

"Where is Mr. Mushi now?"

"On the rooftop. He should have been caught by the police officers lying in ambush there."

Suddenly, after receiving a call from Officer Chiba, Inspector Megure exclaimed, "Murushi hasn't appeared on the roof yet? It's almost 5pm when the bomber said he would call."

Both Kisaki Eri and Ryouta Moriko were caught off guard when they heard the news.

Officer Chiba reported into the phone: "We have been lying in ambush at the door leading to the roof, and it seems that no one is coming over."

Officer Megure hung up the phone and turned to look at Eri Kisaki: "Will Murasaki really go to the roof?"

"That's right. Mr. Murashi's goal is to frame Mr. Hayashizaki as the bomber and kill him. This time, unlike the previous two bombings, he chose to call to warn us for this reason. As long as the code is placed in Mr. Hayashizaki's room, Mr. Hayashizaki will become one of the suspects.

When the call came at 5pm, he directly revealed the solution to the code and confessed that he had placed the bomb in his room. Then, he made up a random excuse, such as atonement, and finally detonated the bomb.

While detonating the bomb, the cell phone used in the crime was thrown down from the roof directly above this room. Even if it is discovered later, it will be considered to have flown out during the explosion. The cell phone used should also be untraceable and not authenticated by real name. "

Officer Megure asked hurriedly: "What about the two previous explosions?"

"It was a foreshadowing for today's explosion. As long as they specifically find a hotel that prohibits Mr. Hayashizaki from staying in, the motive will naturally be pointed to him."

Officer Takagi shouted, "Officer, officer! The criminal called the front desk and urged, 'Hurry up and tell me the answer to the code.'"

Officer Megure was shocked: "How is this possible? Where did the call come from?"

Kudo Yuki made a gesture to keep quiet, with her index finger erected to her lips, pointing at the location where Hayashizaki Danji was, and then quickly pointed at the floor below and the ceiling above.

When Hibiki Eri saw her movements, a thought flashed through her mind: "By the way, the roof isn't the only place where criminals can throw their phones..."
