Chapter 145 Told a little lie
"Two months ago, that was 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 Literary Times article."
"That is to say, Mr. Shinname disappeared after restarting Detective Zuofen."
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 do it!' 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 Zuo Fuji... From Detective Zuo
Since the release of the text, this is the first time."
"Does Detective Zuo Shimoji have many fans?"
"Yes, there are many fans, and they are very fanatical."
The honest man nodded, "Just half a year ago, some fanatical fans threatened us, saying that if we didn't serialize Detective Zuo Wenwen again, they would set fire to our editorial office."
"In other words, Detective Zuo Wenzi 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. Shinmei?!"
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.
Right?"
"That's right."
Niina Kahori nodded, "Just the day before my parents disappeared, I went to their house to have dinner... and stayed overnight. It was only the next morning that I found the note that said 'Go out for a while.
Here's 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 do for him?"
Just when the honest man was confused, there was a sudden noise from the printer nearby.
This is a new manuscript written 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 remembers 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 one-half of the pinnacle, 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 this is the case, then my father must have been kidnapped now!"
"Then these codes must have been written by Mr. Shinname deliberately to deceive others, right?!"
"That's true, but the codes of other manuscripts cannot be solved according to this solution..."
As he said that, Fujino put the manuscript on the table beside him, "Other solutions based on this method will only result in 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.
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 his new name, Rentaro, was in Room 2407 of the Aipido Municipal Hotel, but it was a bit troublesome to decipher these codes reasonably.
The trouble is that it is a bit more troublesome, but we can still draw a conclusion.
The reason why he pretended not to know was to confirm one of his conjectures...
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 the words, you should be able to get the subsequent code, right?"
”
Then, Haihara Ai gently pinched the long hair beside her ears, and once again showed the look of a little girl: "Hey? 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 Fujiye's suspicion...
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 we got together 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, the other party will probably break up the vote if he goes there rashly!"
As the editor-in-chief, the life of the new name Rentaro is directly related to his interests.
If the new name Rentaro dies, the Detective Zuomonji series will definitely go into disrepute.
By then, not only will his performance be ruined.
The editorial office will also suffer considerable losses.
"I don't think so."
At this time, Fujino suddenly stopped the honest man, "If I guessed 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 looked a little confused. After being stunned for a moment, she still chose to believe Fujino.
Afterwards, several people drove to the Aipido 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 Kaitou 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 is probably forty or fifty years old, and the look of disappointment on his face is clearly visible even if he doesn't say it.
"Mom?!"
After seeing the woman, Kahori Niina couldn't help but screamed.
"Xiang Baoli?"
