The unscientific detective in Conan

"Two months ago, that was probably when Mr. Shinname disappeared, right?"

If Fujino remembers correctly, what this editor said should be an important breakthrough.

"That's right!"

Niina Kahoori on the side wiped away tears, "My father disappeared a week before the article was published in Literary Times."

"That means Mr. Shinname disappeared after restarting Detective Zuofenji."

Fujino pondered for a moment, and then continued to ask the honest man: "Is there anything weird in Mr. Shinname's book?"

"There are some weird places."

The honest man nodded and continued: "Mr. Shinname said in the prologue of the work: 'I would like to inform all the famous detectives in the country, anyone who thinks his reasoning ability is superior to mine, come and find out the truth of this case. Let's go!' After the release of this prologue, it attracted a lot of feedback from fans... And this time, Mr. Shinname also appeared in the book and became an old friend of Detective Zuofuji... From Detective Zuo This is the first time that a text has been released so far.”

"Does Detective Zuomonji have many fans?"

"Yes, there are many fans, and they are very fanatical."

The honest man nodded, "Just half a year ago, there were fanatical fans who threatened us, saying that if we didn't serialize Detective Zuo Moji again, they would set fire to our editorial office."

"That is to say, Detective Zuo Moji has many fans, and even has a certain number of fanatic fans."

After a pause, Fujino then asked: "Have those fanatical fans reached a level where they would not hesitate to threaten to burn down the editorial office?"

"Could it be that those fans kidnapped Mr. Shinname?!"

The honest man shook his hands and suddenly realized: "If those fans threaten the new teacher for the resurrection of Detective Zuo Wenzi, it is indeed not impossible!"

"I don't think so."

Fujino said and asked Niina Kahori: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Niina should have decided to restart the Zuomonji series before he disappeared. Before that, you should have been in regular contact with the two of them. Bar?"

"That's right."

Niina Kahori nodded, "Just the day before my parents disappeared, I went to their house to have dinner...and spent the night. It was only the next morning that I found the note saying 'Go out for a while' Just a note."

"But if that's the case... then why did the new teacher disappear for no reason... If he was kidnapped, then what did the prisoner want?"

Just when the honest man was confused, there was a sudden noise from the printer nearby.

It is a newly written manuscript by a new name, Rentaro.

Fujino stepped forward and picked up the new manuscript.

The honest man did not stop him when he saw this. After all, now, it is almost certain that the new name Rentaro has been involved in some kind of disturbance... and has even encountered an accident.

The upper side of the original manuscript is still one-half of the vertex, and the signature remains unchanged.

If Fujino remembered correctly, the secret code should be hidden in one-half of the vertices.

After looking through several manuscripts, Fujino suddenly said to everyone: "If this is the case, I already know the secret hidden in the manuscripts."

"The secret hidden in the manuscript?"

Hearing this, Shinname Kahori and the honest man came over.

"The secret is actually hidden in the name of the original manuscript... the top of one-half."

As he spoke, Fujino showed the original manuscript in front of the two of them and pointed to the text on each page that exceeded the normal format: "For the top of one-half, it should be said that every time Mr. Shinname writes in this book When it appears, the text at the top of each column of dialogue with Zuo Wenwen is only one-half, that is, one-half of the text... Looking at it this way, it should be 'Please come quickly and save me'."

"What?!"

"If that's the case, then my father must have been kidnapped now!"

"Then these codes must have been written by Mr. Shinname on purpose to deceive others, right?!"

"That's true, but the codes of other manuscripts cannot be solved according to this solution..."

As he spoke, Fujino put the manuscript on the table beside him, "Others that follow this solution will end up with meaningless text."

"Did it change to another format?"

The honest man also came over and said doubtfully.

"I don't think that's the case. There's some other mystery."

Fujino looked at the manuscript, and then glanced at Haibara Ai not far away from the corner of his eye.

To be honest, my memory about this period is really fuzzy.

To solve a case, you need to know who the murderer is, connect some memories together, observe the scene and rely on your reasoning ability to solve the case.

He knew that the new name Rentaro was in Room 2407 of the Aipido Municipal Hotel, but it was a bit troublesome how to decipher these codes reasonably.

It's a little more troublesome, but we can still draw a conclusion.

The reason why he pretended not to know was all to confirm a conjecture of his...

As Fujino watched from the corner of his eye, Haibara silently came to Fujino's side, stepped up to pick up a manuscript on the table, and looked at it.

After a moment, she suddenly said calmly: "Every time the new name Rentaro appears, he is in France. According to the silent pronunciation of h in French, if you rearrange those words, you should be able to get the subsequent code, right? "

Then, Haiyuan Ai gently pinched the long hair beside her ears, and once again showed the appearance of a little girl: "Huh? Am I right?"

Fujino: “…………”

Okay, it's still a little weird.

Why does it feel like Conan?

Just like Conan's Erha, Haihara Ai is a little loli who loves to act coquettishly.

There is no comparison between the two.

However, this also confirms Fujiyoshi's suspicion...

After thinking about it, Fujino picked up the manuscript, looked at it, and said: "If it is based on the silent rule, then these codes can indeed be solved. The first code is 'Please come here and save me', and the second code is The second time it was 'My current location', the third time it was 'Acupido Municipal Hotel', and the last time it appeared was 'Room 2407'."

"The information obtained through the connection is that Mr. Shinina is currently in room 2047 of the Aipido Municipal Hotel."

"Then let's get there quickly!"

Niina Kahori said anxiously: "If it were now, my father might still..."

"It's better to call the police first!"

The honest man took out his mobile phone and said, "If Mr. Shinname is really kidnapped, if you go there rashly, the other party will probably tear you up!"

As the editor-in-chief, the life of the newly named Rentaro is directly related to his interests.

If the new name Rentaro dies, the Detective Zuomonji series will definitely go out of style.

By then, not only will his performance be over.

The editorial office will also suffer considerable losses.

"I don't think so."

At this time, Fujino suddenly stopped the honest man, "If I guess correctly, Mr. Shinname was not kidnapped at all."

"Not kidnapped?"

"It's a little troublesome to explain..."

As he said that, Fujino looked at Niina Kahori meaningfully: "Miss Niina, when we get to Abeido Municipal Hotel, everything will be revealed."

Shinname Kahoori seemed a little confused. After being stunned for a moment, he still chose to believe Fujino.

Afterwards, several people drove to Abeido Municipal Hotel.

Aipido Municipal Hotel, Aipido Hotel, and Aipido Hotel are actually the same place.

It's just a different name...

Speaking of which, it seems that Kaito Kidd was going to appear on top of this hotel last time.

At the door of Room 2407, Fujino held a wooden knife and knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, the door opened, and what came into view was a middle-aged woman.

He was probably forty or fifty years old, and the look of disappointment on his face was clearly visible even if he didn't say it.

"mom?!"

When Shinname Kahori saw the woman, she couldn't help but scream.

"Kahoori?"

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but be surprised when she saw the new name Xiang Baoli.

"Where's my dad?!"

Niina Kahori asked anxiously: "Were you kidnapped by someone?"

"Kidnapping?"

The middle-aged woman frowned and thought for a moment. She was about to say something, and then a voice came from the room behind her: "Is it Kahori?"

"dad?"

After Niina Kahori entered the room, he walked quickly towards the room opposite the door.

Fujino and his party also entered, and what they saw was an old man lying on the bed with gray hair and a haggard look.

"Dad, what on earth are you..."

Shinname Kahoori looked at his father's haggard face and asked anxiously.

"I directed and acted this all myself."

Rentaro, whose new name is pale, forced a smile on his face, "I found out that I had cancer two months ago. I'm really sorry for not telling you... After all, I want this code to be more realistic... And as far as I know now You will definitely be sad too."

"dad……"

Tears streamed down Niina Kahori's eyes.

"Okay, stop crying."

Shinname Rentaro raised his hand with difficulty, and wiped Shinname Kahori's tears with his skinny fingers, "Since you were able to arrive, someone must have cracked my password, right? Didn't this incident alert the police?"

"The police were not alerted, but someone did decipher the code you left behind, dad."

Niina Kahori nodded and turned his gaze to Fujino aside: "The one who cracked your password, Dad, was Detective Fujino... and he didn't call the police. It was Detective Fujino who asked for it."

"Detective Fujino?"

The new name Rentaro sat up from the bed with great effort, leaned on the bedside, and turned his gaze to Fujino: "You didn't call the police over, which means you have already seen the truth behind this matter... Even I directed and acted All this matter was guessed together."

"Well, it's a little troublesome to explain, but that's exactly what happened."

Fujino nodded without saying any more nonsense.

He could tell that the old man in front of him was at the end of his strength.

Wasting time is equivalent to wasting the other person's life.

At this time, the newly named Rentaro spoke again, and his words seemed a little weak: "The recognition of my works by readers is the happiest time in my life. I have been a writer for 40 years, but I still have a kind of happiness that I still don't have. I have enjoyed it, that is, I hope someone can rush to me and say that he has solved the puzzle of me, an old man, one step ahead..."

"Your wish is fulfilled."

As he spoke, Fujino picked up the wooden sword and said, "Speaking of which, I'm also a fan of Detective Zuomonji."

"Is that so?"

A happy smile appeared on the face of the new name Rentaro.

Of course, Fujino told a little lie. He was not a fan of Detective Zuomonji, but in order to satisfy the wish of a dying old man, this little lie could be told. At worst, he could just make it up later.

Later, in the last days of his life, Kahoori chatted a lot with Rentaro, and would also chat with Fujino from time to time.

Just like that, it was midnight in the blink of an eye.

After a period of silence, the new name Rentaro became completely silent.
