Conan: I Am Not a Snake Spirit

"It's the Japanese restaurant you mentioned before, right?" Sera Masumi confirmed the address to Haneda Hideyoshi and smiled happily, "Then we'll see you then!"

Chi Feichi waited for Shiliang Zhenzhun to hang up the phone and said, "Speaking of secret codes, Conan told me before that you gave him a secret code puzzle..."

"Is there any?" Sera Masaki was a little confused and walked to the table to get his backpack.

"That's what he told me," Chi Feichi said. "The content of the puzzle you gave him was 'Sister outside the realm'."

"So that's what you're talking about..." Shiliang Zhenzhun suddenly realized. From Chi Feichi's statement, he guessed that Conan might not have told Chi Feichi completely the truth and did not expose Conan. He smiled and said, "I did give him some advice." After solving such a puzzle, he actually asked you for help!"

Although she gave Conan that reply in order to answer Conan's question "Who is that girl?", but the "sister outside the realm" is indeed a secret code puzzle...

"He asked me two days ago," Chi Feichi asked with a normal expression, "The answer to the puzzle is sis, right?"

On the balcony, Sera Marie froze for a moment, looking at Chi Feichi's back through the gap in the curtains, her expression quickly changed from surprise to seriousness.

Will that secret code be solved soon...

Although when she gave the password, she was mentally prepared for the password to be solved and her identity to be revealed, but if Mr. Chi and the boy knew her identity now, the pace would be a bit too fast.

Before she could fully understand the other party, the other party already knew too much information about them... This was not a good sign!

House, Shiliang Zhenshun did not expect Chi Feichi to solve the code so quickly. He paused when picking up the backpack, and his brain was working rapidly, trying to generate the correct response plan, "Uh, yes, you are so quick I just thought of the answer..."

"The English word for territory is 'territory', and the English word for sister is 'sister'. The sister outside the realm is the 'sister' outside of 'territory'," Chi Feichi explained how to interpret the code, "replace 'sister' This word contains part of 'territory', that is, 'ter' is removed, and 'sis' is left, which is the part outside of 'territory'."

"Completely correct!"

Shiliang Zhenzhun turned around with his backpack and showed a bright smile to Chi Feichi, but his eyes quietly crossed Chi Feichi's body and glanced at the balcony behind Chi Feichi.

Her mother should still be there, right?

This is the riddle that her mother asked her to tell Conan. Now that Brother Fei Chi has solved the riddle, what should they do next?

On the balcony, Sera Marie stood sideways by the window. First, she pushed the palm of one hand forward, letting the shadow of her hand cast on the window. Then, she curled the fingers of the other hand to form a shape similar to '6' In the shape of the window, stretch your arm forward so that the shadow of this hand also appears on the window, and then use the first stretched out hand to point to the curled finger.

Sera Masumi looked at the shadow that appeared on the window and quickly had an answer in her mind.

Is this a ‘whistle signal’ in football?

In a football match, when the serve needs to be delayed for some reason, the referee will use this gesture in conjunction with the call to ask the team in possession of the ball to wait for instructions.

Normally, when the referee makes this gesture, he will stretch his hands forward and point one finger to the whistle on the other hand. However, her mother did not have a whistle in her hand, so she would curl her fingers and imitate the whistle. The appearance of it.

When her mother made this gesture at this time, the meaning should be: don't make any big moves, just wait and see, calmly waiting for the opportunity to serve.

On the balcony, after finishing her gesture, Sera Marie quickly retracted her hand, and her whole body retracted to the wall again.

"How should we interpret the answer to this mystery?" Chi Feichi noticed that Sera Masaki's eyes moved behind him, pretending that he didn't notice and didn't look back, and continued to pressurize Sera Masumi with a calm face, "sis It can be used as the abbreviation of sister, but if the letters are all capitalized, SIS is the abbreviation of the British Secret Intelligence Service, which is MI6... What is the correct interpretation? "

"Well..." Sera Masumi put a smile mask on her face, and glanced at the balcony again. Seeing that there was no change at all on the balcony, she knew that her mother had decided to leave everything to herself, so she insisted I made up my head and said, "It's both kinds. I prefer to watch various movies and TV series during this period. I just watched the "007" series of movies not long ago. James Bond from SIS is really cool! That’s why I wanted to use this as the answer to the puzzle, and sis means sister. I also hope that Conan will be more impressed by my sister... As for the correct interpretation, I didn’t think too much about it at the time. I just think this kind of puzzle is more interesting!”

Chi Feichi nodded, "I see..."

Shi Liang's pure heart did not dare to relax at all.

This should be able to fool us, right?

Her mother had just given her the signal to wait for the whistle, but she felt that her mother had made a mistake - they were not the ones in possession of the ball now!

Whether she is willing to wait and see depends on whether Fei Chi will continue to serve...

Chi Feichi did not pursue the question further, "Since this is your puzzle for Conan, I will not participate."

Sera Masumi was a little surprised, "Have you not told Conan the answer to the mystery yet?"

"No," Chi Feichi said, "I let him think for himself."

"That's good..." Sera Masumi couldn't help laughing when he heard that Conan didn't know the answer yet, "I asked him the riddle just to make him worry. If you tell him the answer directly, then It’s meaningless! So Brother Fei Chi, I want to ask you to keep it a secret from him and let me see when he can decipher the code!”

"I will keep it a secret," Chi Feichi walked towards the entrance, "but I gave him a little reminder before..."

Masumi Sera immediately followed with her backpack, "You shouldn't have told him the key to the interpretation method, right?"

"No, I just told him that this is a puzzle you give to children, and the interpretation method may not be very complicated."

"Then what did he say?"

"He says he's smarter than most kids, and you should know that, so the puzzles you give him won't necessarily be easy."

"He's really proud... But Brother Chi, do you really think this answer is simple?"

"It's just a simple word splitting game, isn't it? There are many similar questions in elementary school exams."

"Elementary school exam questions? Are there any?"

"Yes, in Japan it is usually Japanese questions, such as writing the same parts of 'quarrel' (???) and 'injury' (??) in hiragana, and some questions ask you to distinguish the different parts. Although students in the first grade of primary school may not encounter these questions, and there are no English questions in the exam, Conan knows more than ordinary children and is smarter. I am still thinking that this difficulty level should be suitable for him... "
