Hattori Heiji has seen that Mr. Yaguchi must have some kind of connection with the murderer. He was not killed for no reason. I am afraid that the murderer was a guest who was welcomed in before him. There is no sign of being forcibly knocked open at the door, and there is no fight in the room. Traces of struggle, there is no doubt that the acquaintance committed the crime.

Mrs. Yaguchi and Ms. Yaguchi must also know the inside story, but it is of no help to decipher the code and find the disappeared murderer and Mr. Yaguchi's body. Now is not the time to listen to the story. Hattori Heiji just wants to seize every minute and every second. Decipher the code in your hand.

'(', '↑', '↓', '←', '→' appeared once each.

'$', '%', '&', '*' occur 2 times.

'#', ',' appeared 3 times.

'>', '/', '.' appear 4 times.

')' appears twice, I think ')' stands for 'e'. "

Then put the equation of ')=e' into it, and get: [(e|<>e|<##|$%|^&e|*, ^^e>, ←, ^|/.↑e |.→|, /|<>e|#..↓$%*|<^|^&e|/^<>/]

The problem doesn't seem to be resolved yet.

They need to decide between '^&e' and '<>e' to deduce who is really 'the'.

"Hatori, you should know basic English grammar, right, 'the' is a definite article, followed by an adjective, if it is not the beginning word, then it should be preceded by—"

"Verbs!" Hattori Heiji followed Edogawa Conan's train of thought without hesitation. As a high school student, how could he not know this! "'in', 'on', 'be', etc."

"Yes! Then we temporarily set the number of letters of the verb to two letters, and exclude the part where the two letters are connected-you know why, this is basic common sense, just like we know verb + the + noun , my friend, then the one that fits this sentence is-" Edogawa Conan couldn't help but utter an aria-like sentence as soon as he reasoned, and the two detectives, one big and one small, immediately searched for it in this string of characters. matching combination.

Yes, and there are two groups!is '$%|^&e|*,^^e>', '<^|^&e|/^<>/'.

It seems that they have already found the character representing 'the' and understood '^=t''&=h', so they don't need to think about other situations.

The faces of the two detectives showed a happy expression, but it was not time to relax.

[(e|<>e|<##|$%|the|*, tte>, ←, t|/.↑e|.→|, /|<>e|#..↓$%*|/]

They are one step closer to the answer, and less than 10 minutes have passed since they got the code. Once they understand how to decipher the code, the next thing to do is as easy as filling in the blanks for the detectives. Do the same as you can.

Edogawa Conan took a long, deep breath. He actually forgot to breathe just now, as if he was afraid that breathing would affect the smooth flow of thinking. Thinking of this, he felt a little embarrassed, so he couldn't help looking at Hattori Heiji, and saw this high school student Detective Sheng was the same as him. The two looked at each other, with smiles on their faces at the same time.

A complete sentence usually begins with a noun or a pronoun, other possibilities are not considered for the time being, there is only one '(', even if they think wrong, they may come back and correct it quickly.

Bringing in the two-letter nouns they are familiar with, both of them decided the answer as 'We', also because the murderer not only escaped but also took the body with him, and also by observing Mrs. Yaguchi and Ms. Yaguchi From the emotions and small actions of the two, it can be seen that the murderer not only has a relationship with the deceased, but also has a very close relationship.

Of course, the most important thing is that the "we" in the "come here to find us" written under this string of symbols reminded them that since this string of symbols ultimately points to the location of the murderer and the corpse he took away, then It's only fitting that this one begins with 'We'.

'We', as a plural nominative pronoun, should be followed by...

"Weare...?" Hattori Heiji couldn't help murmuring.

That's right, it's Weare!

'(=w', '<=a', '>=r', they are a big step closer to the answer.

Next, it was a little bit reluctant to memorize it with my head. Edogawa Conan borrowed a pen and paper from the police officer on the side and wrote down the progress they had made on the paper:

[We|are|a##|$%|the|*, tter, ←, t|/.↑e|.→|, /|are|#..↓$%*|at|the|/tar/】

Just looking at the current situation combined with the following "come here to find us", it seems that the murderer really has a very clear purpose.

"Come here to find us... Then they should all be in the same place, so don't think too much about the content at the beginning, it's 'Weareallinthe'!" Hattori Heiji said with certainty, and his inference was also supported by Edogawa Conan Nodding in agreement.

If you ignore this signal and mobilize a large number of police forces to search in this deep mountain and old forest, in the eyes of the detectives, it is simply a thankless and self-inflicted act.

Seeing how long it took them, the answer is not far away!It's a no-brainer!

Substituting the obtained '#=l''$=i''%=n' decisively and confidently into it again, the detectives came up with more and more clear codes:

[Weareallinthe|*, tter, ←, t|/.↑e|.→|, /|are|l..↓in*|at|the|/tar/]

"Between are and at... a verb with 'in', no, it should be a verb with 'ing' continuous tense as the ongoing state, where the two letters are the same... um—" Hattori Heiji touched his nose , Combining the context and the current situation, I racked my brains to find the right one in my English vocabulary reserve, "looking?"

"I think so too. It should mean that I'm looking at something." Edogawa Conan replied happily, "What exactly is this person trying to express...and I feel that this sentence is getting more and more familiar." He had a premonition , maybe you only need to substitute in the equation you have obtained now, and you don't need to continue to decipher.

Put the '.=o', '↓=k', '*=g' they got again.

[Weareallinthe|g, tter, ←, t|/.↑e|.→|, /|arelookingatthe|/tar/]

In a long sentence, the front part expresses 'where are we', but the back part expresses 'what to look at'. The word following the comma does not seem to be a word like 'and' that connects the previous sentence. If a letter is a 't' again...

An idea flashed in Edogawa Conan's mind, maybe this long sentence was not thought up by the murderer, but just transformed into a symbolic representation!Then for him who has read hundreds of books, things seem to be much simpler!

"Weare all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Edogawa Conan recited the sentence that came to his mind, "This is a sentence from the third act of "Lady Windermere's Fan" written by Oscar Wilde."

Right on!Perfectly matched!Whether they solved it or not!This is without a doubt the correct answer!

Seeing this, Yuan Shan and Ye hurried forward, "Have you already figured it out?! So fast!" Only 10 minutes have passed!

Toyama and Ye, who were secretly proud of Hattori Heiji, couldn't help but be happy.

Immediately, the surrounding police officers, Mrs. Yaguchi and Ms. Yaguchi all came forward and looked at Hattori Heiji expectantly, hoping that he would tell them the answer.

"It's time to come out—we're all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." Hattori Heiji certainly wouldn't hide it, saying that he was in a hurry more than anyone else right now.

Saying that, Hattori Heiji showed distress: "There shouldn't be any drainage ditch for hiding around here, after all, it's this kind of mountain forest, and it's not as convenient to arrange a large drainage ditch that can be entered like in the city, and If you want to see the stars, except for this house, the rest of the place is completely covered by lush vegetation, and the police officer has surrounded the surrounding area, and the other party can't run too far."

"Indeed, there are two or three rivers nearby, and the Isumi River is the closest to us." Mrs. Yaguchi said softly, trembling uncontrollably, "And this mountain was once called Inoyama. , there are many abandoned wells nearby, and it is said that there used to be no rivers passing through here, so the people worked hard to dig wells to supply water...there is really no drainage ditch.”

Thinking is stuck.

"Wait, is there another piece of paper? There are counterclockwise arrows drawn!" Edogawa Conan's eyes lit up, but his face collapsed immediately, because he found that he couldn't match the counterclockwise arrows with what they had. Corresponding to the deciphered codes, I fell into deep thought immediately. The meaning of the counterclockwise arrow should be that there is nothing wrong with the reversal.

Are they missing some information?

"It seems that there is no need for Mr. Ranbu to appear on the stage, the matter can be resolved satisfactorily!" A childish tone sounded, and the police officers present gave out a cheer that could be said to be greatly relieved.

"Mr. Ranpo!"

"Mr. Ranpo is here!"

The visitor was wearing a black cloak, a black suit under the cloak, and a military cap-style black hat. His appearance was clear and delicate, and his face was immature with a bit of baby fat, which matched his expression and every move. There is simply no sense of disobedience, even if they know the real age of this person, everyone present will think that he is only 20 years old at most.

Behind this well-known detective all over the world is a young man with clear cat eyes and a tall and straight posture. The young man is carrying a bass bag and has a gentle and calm demeanor. He should be the famous detective's assistant.

The eyes of Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan almost lit up like high-wattage light bulbs with a flick.

——Edogawa Ranpo!

As a detective, absolutely no one would know of his existence!He is almost the most representative existence in the detective world, his debut is the pinnacle, and he has never been surpassed by anyone!His reputation even once overshadowed the mystery novelist with the same name, making the name of Edogawa Ranpo shine in the eyes of the world with a new image.

After sweeping around the room, the famous detective squinted his eyes like a sleepy cat that wanted to take a nap, looked at Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan, and stretched out his hand confidently without saying anything.

Hattori Heiji was not at all dissatisfied with this person's arrogance, and as a matter of course handed over the English book and two notes in it to his idol with both hands.

After taking a look, the world's number one detective threw the thing into the hands of the nearest police officer without interest, looked at Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan, and showed a satisfied smile for a long time, and said: Said to them: "I am in the corner of the well, and my heart is bright—go."

Almost instantly, Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan suddenly realized that they rushed out without asking their common idol for an explanation.

"What are you doing with me, you're just stunned." Edogawa Luanbu looked at the police officers who were still standing there, and laughed ironically.

The cat-eyed young man next to Edogawa Ranpo smiled and translated for the police officers: "Mr. Ranpo means: What are you doing in a daze, follow up."

The police officers woke up like a dream, and hurried out following Hattori Heiji and Edogawa Conan in front.

Edogawa Ranpo looked at Mrs. Yaguchi and Ms. Yaguchi who were standing there, and said confidently: "Master Ranpo was invited to help solve the case when he was out to play, and he wants to eat dessert. Haven't seen it yet!"

"May I have some snacks or something?" Maoyan youth said with a helpless smile, "It's fine to use these as a reward."

Mrs. Yaguchi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes! Come in, please! Lizi, go and make tea for the guests!"

Ms. Yaguchi recovered from her daze and hurried to make tea.

The author has something to say:

The small English class for high school detectives has started, let us review some trivial knowledge points (the dog's head holds a rose)

[PS: If there are any mistakes, it's all because I returned the knowledge points to the English teacher. It has nothing to do with the detective's IQ in the text. It's all because I don't have enough IQ

I like the eyes of the detectives shining brightly and confidently when they reason and after they get the results, they are cute and charming]

*If you feel that the code deciphering process is a headache and you don’t want to read it, you can just skip the answer and it will not affect the follow-up reading, but if you can read the deciphering process carefully, I will be very happy next time.

-

Mr. Ranpo: What, it can be solved satisfactorily without the appearance of Mr. Ranpo!

Hattori Heiji: Being praised...?

Edogawa Conan (Kudo Shinichi): Was it praised?

Hattori Heiji/Edogawa Conan: Excited to fuzzy.gif

Zhu Fujingguang: Sure enough, as long as Mr. Ranpo is present, other detectives will feel as if they have been beaten to death (the case detection speed is invariably much faster, and everyone is bursting into the universe).

Detectives: oh oh oh oh oh, be prepared, the real murderer! ! !

Prisoners & Passers-by & Cops: So, so hot - totally on fire!

A detective who can't burn but is frightened?That must be a fake detective.

right?Maori Kogoro.

Mr. Ranpo: (Grandpa on the subway looks at his phone.jpg)...

Mori Kogoro: (covered in cold sweat) Hahahaha...

Edogawa Conan: I'll-
