How to start Meursault

It is actually a bit strange to regard this kidnapping case as the beginning—the car accident of the police guarding the ghost boy’s house at that time was an accident, and this case had nothing to do with Fanto.

But it is precisely because it has nothing to do that Conan will start the replay from here.The reason why he thought of making Fanto fake death was because if Fanto was alive, conflicts between the Nicanhui and the Inagawa Society were likely to break out, causing even greater chaos. At that time, his suspicion was that someone was leading all this behind the scenes, otherwise The previous generations who participated in the mud meeting would not suddenly find out that their judgment was wrong after they believed that the Fanto sent someone to kill Guitong Nafang for so long.

After Conan and He Jian came to the conclusion that Fanto had nothing to do with the death of Guidou Nafang, it became more obvious that the beginning of this incident was deliberately manipulated by someone behind it.

On the premise that the person knew that the death of Guitong Yafang was an accidental conflict, he regarded the death of the policeman as evidence of someone's instigation. Although Conan hadn't deduced the reason for this, at least it could be reflected in that person. In my mind, the kidnapping case also has a special connection with this case. If so, then starting from here, there may be some unexpected gains.

— Conan does not assume the possible identity of this unknown manipulator.

However, if the identity of this person can be found out, He Jian's innocence will naturally be proved.

Takagi gave Conan a surprise.

"Speaking of which, the last record in Mr. Ida's notebook is the words 'Sunday, and Takagi' and some password-like things, and after the ghost boy was taken away by the ambulance, he told me to let me accompany him next Sunday. Hit him." Takagi said while recalling.

"Officer Takagi, can I see the passwords on the notebook?" Conan asked immediately.

After getting the notebook, Conan realized at a glance that the string of numbers starting with '22' is the code for sending short messages to mobile phones from public phones or landlines.

After verifying with a landline phone, the message received on the mobile phone became "Sunday at 12 o'clock at noon, waiting at the window of Poirot at 5-6 Mihuacho with a red tie".

Conan was stunned when he saw the address, but combined with the fact that Guitong Nafang was severely injured by a drunk in a telephone booth a year ago, he quickly understood the source of the news.

This should be the content that Guitong dialed in the phone booth at that time. After being recorded by Date, he planned to arrest people with Takagi the next Sunday.

Assuming that Guitong Nafang is indeed the principal culprit in the kidnapping case, this news is probably an agreement of a 'deal'.

Conan thought for a while, and sent He Jian a text message that he was home, then stepped on his skateboard and went downstairs to the Maori office, and went straight into Poirot Cafe.

"Come every Sunday?"

I noticed traces of tape under Poirot's window seat. After asking Azusa Enomoto, the waitress took out a game console that had long been out of battery, and further asked if there was a Sunday noon a year ago when someone peeped at the window secretly. Afterwards, Conan got a bizarre answer.

——For a year, every Sunday at noon, a car passed by Poirot's door, and a boy in the car always made a fist-clenching motion towards the shop.

"Well, because he kept doing this gesture repeatedly, I thought it was a greeting, and he came every week, so I was very impressed." Azusa Enomoto said, "By the way, he didn't come every week, in fact, it was a month ago I haven’t seen that kid again, but he did come every Sunday before.”

Conan felt a sudden coldness behind him.

a month ago.

He had asked Shinya Fanto about the entrustment to Hejian before, and Fanto's goods were lost a month ago.That is to say, the previous generation faction who participated in the mud meeting also started to "retaliate" against Fanto a month ago.

The clenched fist gesture is an international distress signal, and the boy is likely to be Alan Caseiro, who has been kidnapped for a year.

What happened a month ago?

Could it be that at this time someone told the elders who participated in the meeting the details of Guitong Yafang's death with some cuts, and put Fanto in front of their eyes?

Was it because Alan Caseiro stopped passing Poirot's window at noon every Sunday because the subordinates of Guitong Nafang finally found out that their missing boss was dead, and the transaction could not continue?

How is that kid doing now?

Just as Conan walked out of Poirot in a daze, his cell phone belonging to Kudo Shinichi suddenly rang.

It was Takagi Wataru calling.

"Kudo-kun, thank you very much for sending an email to inquire about the kidnapping case." Takagi's voice on the phone showed obvious joy, "I just contacted the family members of the kidnapped children and found out that Alan Ka Cerro and another child have returned home."

Already back home a month ago?

It was obviously good news, but Conan didn't know what to say when he heard it.

He took a breath and asked with a voice changer, "Then why haven't the family members come to close the case?"

"It seems that a private detective found the two children, but he asked the family members to keep quiet for some personal reasons." Takagi was obviously also puzzled by this, but the children's joy at home overwhelmed this point.

Conan hung up the phone after briefly thanking Takagi.

—the child was found by a private investigator.

If this was an isolated, ordinary case, there would be no problem with that.Whether it is entrusted or a detective accidentally solves a case and saves someone, this is normal.

But considering this matter together with Fanto's case, the conclusion that can be drawn is terrifying.

"Maybe it's just a random name of a private detective." He murmured softly, as if trying to convince himself.

——But in fact, that person is just claiming to be a detective, isn't he?

A detective who was able to take two children from the Muds without paying a ransom.

Haha, although He Jian is a well-known detective in the outside world, it shouldn't be so...

Conan stood silently downstairs of the Maori office for a long time before he said to himself as if complaining: "Should I say that the detective saved the child first anyway?"

His little face lost all expression.

Two days later, a certain expensive recording studio in Dongdu.

A primary school student who didn't bring any musical instrument walked into the store alone, and then leaned on the counter and asked the girl working at the front desk a question.

"Little brother, are you talking about a male high school student with blue eyes and black curly hair?" The receptionist frowned and recalled for a while, "It seems to be number 5..."

She glanced down at the registration book, and her brows stretched: "It's number 5, and he said before that there will be other people coming. Hey, is it you?"

But when the front desk raised its head again, the primary school student in front of him had disappeared.

This elementary school student is of course Edogawa Conan.

As he expected, the door of recording studio No. 5 was not locked, but simply closed.

He pushed down the doorknob and gently pushed the door open, and the music of the violin came from inside.

——Quite gorgeous.

Conan closed the door and walked towards the performer softly. When he walked in front of the player, the player just pulled a bow.

Then the music suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Conan asked naturally.

The boy who was playing just now put the bow casually on the music stand, scratched his head, and said, "It's been a long time since I practiced Paganini, it's a bit rusty."

He even looked a little shy, as if he felt embarrassed to play imperfectly in front of Conan.

——In fact, although I have absolute pitch, my violin level is not enough to hear the problems in your performance.

Conan wanted to say this a little bit, but seeing He Jian put the violin away from his shoulder and put it back into the case, he stopped forcibly.

Now that you can start directly on the topic, don't digress.

"Alan Casero." Conan paused after uttering the name, and continued, "I was sent home by a private detective a month ago."

He Jian didn't say anything to interrupt, but just looked at him with a slight smile.

"I asked Poirot's waiter, and she said that she only saw you once two days ago." Conan said, looking straight into He Jian's eyes.

"Any questions?"

--no problem.I went to the family to confirm the image of the detective and I'm sure it was you who saved it, but if you didn't see Alan Casero in Poirot one day before and went to save him, then it's almost impossible for this to start by accident of.

"Brother He Jian, what is your standard?"

This question comes from the saying that He saw another personality when Binzhong was working on the case.

Why choose Binzhong Cao?Why induce the whole Fanto incident?

After thinking over and over again, Conan realized with some sadness that this 'standard' might be the standard for He Jian to start with.

He really wanted to ask He Jian, as a detective, whether he mainly operates in the other world or not, why would he do such a thing.

"Actually, there is no special standard?" He Jian replied in a cheerful tone, "Of course you can do whatever you want, and I am a naturalist."

Conan couldn't tell whether it was the truth or a lie from He Jian's expression, but He Jian's answer was almost tantamount to acquiescing that he would manipulate the case from time to time.

"Aren't you a detective?"

As if sensing Conan's mood, He Jian restrained his expression a little.

He looked at the real detective who was much shorter than himself, and said, "Conan-kun, let me put it this way, don't you think a person can't be good at the violin and love mathematics at the same time?"
