Conan’s Corpse Picker

This pieced-together sentence startled Inspector Megure: "Could it be that he was imprisoned somewhere and had to resort to this method to secretly seek help from the outside world? ... That's right, I remember that Mr. Niname has many fanatical fans. The editorial department even called the police before, saying that someone threatened to burn down this place.

"In addition, it is not ruled out that some lawless lunatics have set their eyes on Mr. Niname's royalties, so they arrested him and locked him up, and made him work, so that he could read the novel and get the royalties...hiss, it's killing two birds with one stone."

The editor couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this: "But we haven't paid the royalties yet - Mr. Niname said that the royalties will be remitted to him after the whole book is completed. "

Beside him, Conan dialed the phone silently, but the other party didn't answer.

Conan looked at the phone suspiciously: "..." Answer it, why not? Hattori, doesn't he trust his brother?

While continuing to dial, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice: Fortunately, he has also seen through what Jiang Xia just said.

Compared to this, the second and third paragraphs of dialogue that are more confusing are the following lines - they seem to be unable to simply use "1/2 vertex" as the key to solve the puzzle, because if they are solved in this way, a weird line with completely incomprehensible meaning appears.

"I he ka i he present residence, white re no offender wa... What is this?"

"I wanted to call Hattori to discuss it, but this guy hid quickly." Conan snorted in his heart, "But you underestimate me too much, today I will call you until you are willing to answer the phone. "

Thinking of this, he changed his number and began to secretly dial Hattori Heiji's home landline - mobile phones can be easily do not disturb, but landlines are not so simple.

Of course, Conan was not idle during the dialing interval. He found a pen and wrote and drew on the lines, trying various combinations, and even used a lot of advanced formulas.

However, no matter how he arranged it, he could not get a coherent meaning.

"Could it be that these two paragraphs actually have no other meaning?" Conan touched his chin and speculated secretly, "Come to think of it, if the gangster who kidnapped Mr. Niname is his fanatical fan, then he must be very familiar with the author's writing style and have a certain reasoning ability... Maybe he understood the first code, so he stopped Mr. Niname from passing the message out in time. "

Just thinking about it, Jiang Xia's voice came from the side, and he said to Inspector Megure: "In addition to the '1/2 vertex', to solve the code sent by Mr. Niname, you actually need a second key-France. "

Inspector Megure was at a loss: "France? ”

Jiang Xia nodded: "Mr. Xinming often travels to France, so he should know some French. And he happens to be in France in the novel - there is an unpronounced 'H' in French, so when interpreting the riddle, all the letters starting with H, that is, the five letters in the row of 'ha', must be removed from this paragraph. "

Xinming Kaori held the second line and softly interpreted the message her father wanted to convey: "'The place where I am now is'..."

There was nothing after that.

Xinming Kaori: "..." At this time, my father actually wanted to break the chapter! Can't you just write the location directly? Of course we can guess that's where you are!

She clenched her fists, but she could only grit her teeth and took the third line and started to spell it out: "'Kido City Hotel'...Kido? Where is this?"

After a moment of confusion, she suddenly thought of something and said to Jiang Xia: "Could this be a Japanese romanization mark? 'hu' should be written as 'fu', so what my father wants to express is not 'Kido', but 'Haito'! "

Conan, who hadn't gotten through yet, fell silent.

A second later, he stared at the phone silently: "..." Damn call, get through quickly! Let Hattori also hear the fresh answer to the mystery!

While dialing, Conan grabbed the fourth manuscript next to him and spelled it out: "Room 2407."

"Together it means Haido Municipal Hotel, Room 2407." Inspector Megure breathed a sigh of relief. With a specific location, things would be simple. He waved his hand and said, "Go and have a look! Takagi, call Sato and ask her to dispatch people to prepare for the rescue! "

...

Two cars rushed out of the street and drove quickly towards the direction of the Beido Municipal Hotel.

In the car, Conan pressed his finger and quietly sent an email to Hattori Heiji.

After doing the bad thing, he put away his phone guiltily and looked around.

Suddenly his eyes stopped at the side, and he was slightly startled: "..."Is it an illusion? An author was captured by the kidnappers and was about to die, but why did Jiang Xia seem to be not in a hurry at all?

Just watching, Jiang Xia suddenly asked: "What's wrong?"

"!" Conan didn't know why his heart skipped a beat, and he changed the subject as if nothing had happened, "I don't know when Hattori can see the email I sent."

Jiang Xia: "What email?"

Conan: "..."Oops, I let it slip when I was distracted.

He cleared his throat and said seriously: "Of course it's an email to discuss how to solve the case. "

While chatting, the group arrived at the hotel and went straight to the front desk.

Jiang Xia's eyes moved to another place. He stretched out his hand and grabbed a black-skinned employee who was trying to pass by: "Boss? This is also your place of work."

Amuro Toru: "..."

...Why are you everywhere!

He took a deep breath, took a second to adjust his emotions, and then glanced at the police who came one after another with some confusion: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Xia: "Play a reasoning game with a writer."

"Writer?" Toru Amuro recalled the suspicious guests coming and going in this hotel, "The one on the 24th floor?"

As he was talking, the elevator door suddenly opened, and a slightly older woman holding a USB flash drive walked out with a worried look on her face.

When she looked up and saw the police in the hall, she was stunned and instinctively wanted to shrink back into the elevator. However, at this time, Shinname Kaori happened to look in this direction. When their eyes met, the young woman blurted out: "Mom?!"

"Huh?!" Inspector Megure was shocked: How could Mrs. Shinname, who was kidnapped with her husband, appear here alone?

But no matter how surprised he was, since Shinname Kaori shouted that, it must be right. Inspector Megure strode forward, pulled Mrs. Shinname and threw her back: "Protect her!"

"Yes!" Officer Takagi and several police officers who had just arrived surrounded the person.

"No, I..." Mrs. Shinname waved her hands anxiously, as if she wanted to say something, but didn't know where to start.

Before she could think of a good way to phrase it, several policemen filed in and rushed into the elevator.

Before the door closed, Jiang Xia also walked in, and Conan followed.

Amuro Toru looked at the situation and hesitated for a moment, but curiosity finally took over. He turned sideways and squeezed into the elevator through the gap of the door that was about to close.
