Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

There were many ordinary guests in the library who heard the news, and some even tried to force open the wooden box like the uncle, and all of them stabbed their fingers in the end without exception.

It seems to be the idea of ​​the owner of the lock box, except for Kidd's fanatical fans, everyone can come in and visit.

"As you can see," Jiroji explained, "the box is placed directly on the table, and there are no special guards. As long as you are in this library, anyone can touch it freely."

"Then what if someone escapes with the box?" Xiaolan asked suspiciously.

"Don't worry about that, as long as you turn on the switch, the weight sensor buried in the floor under the table will activate," the old man Jirouji demonstrated, "Even if the weight coming in is only one gram lighter than when it went out..."

bang!

As soon as Jirokichi stepped out of the floor, he was covered by the iron cage falling from above, and he pressed the button again to raise the iron cage.

It looks bluffing, but it's an old trick, and I haven't succeeded in catching Kidd before...

Gao Cheng was thinking wildly in the back.

What if someone farted while leaving?

"Haha," the old man Jiroji said proudly, "how is it? Even if there is a way to escape this iron cage, you can't escape from the library. All the entrances here are equipped with iron gates, which will be triggered together with the iron cage.

Even if Kidd secretly opened the box and took away the gems, he would be found out soon! "

"There is no way to open this box secretly," the old lady shook her head. "When you open the box, the music box inside will automatically play the melody. I heard the sound of the music box several times in the middle of the night, and then I found out that it was my husband in the study. opened the box..."

Xiao Lan asked curiously, "What is the melody?"

"This," the old lady sighed, "it's been more than ten years since my husband last opened this box. I don't remember it. It seems to be a very famous and well-known nursery rhyme."

Conan looked at the wooden box with a thoughtful expression, and talked to Gao Cheng quietly: "Let's not talk about anything else, it seems that he wants to open this box no matter what, even with the help of Kaitou Kidd... Do you think that guy will open it?" Have already sneaked in? After all, the security is so lax, there is no reason for that guy not to come and check."

"whatever."

Gao Cheng stared at the mechanism box with wide eyes.

He doesn't care what happens to Kidd. Unlike Conan, he doesn't feel like confronting rivals at all, and only has the labels "tool man" and "fat sheep" in his mind.

No way, I knew Kidd's true identity from the very beginning without any sense of mystery.

Then……

Gao Cheng glanced at Xiaolan from the corner of his eye.

Although I don't care much, it is impossible to turn a blind eye.

From just now, he felt that the height of Xiaolan in front of him was not right, and if nothing else happened, it would be that guy Kidd.

Unlike his camouflage card, no matter how superb the camouflage ability is, it is impossible to be absolutely perfect. Although Kidd is excellent in women's clothing, but this time Xiaolan didn't wear high heels, and her clothes were relatively thin. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't match her height.

There are so many people who can pretend, but this guy actually chooses Xiaolan, is he drifting away?

"Didn't you say that there is a piece of paper with the method of opening the mechanism box?" Gao Cheng turned to the old lady and asked, "In this case, you should be able to open it according to the instructions, right?"

"It's true that there is an explanation, but I don't know where it is."

The old lady said quietly.

"In the middle of the night, after my husband closed the box, he put a drawing of the puzzle box with arrows and numbers in a book,

Two days later, I went to the study to look for that piece of paper, wondering which book it was in, but my husband saw it and said that it was impossible for me to find it, and I really haven't found it until now. "

"Where are those books?" Uncle Maori asked.

He can't be so hard to find...

"It's all given to me," the old man Jiroji led everyone into a separate library next to him, "I put them all here."

The library is not big, but it is surrounded by towering bookshelves filled with books. The highest part needs to use two scaffolding in the room to get it, which is comparable to the study of Kudo's family.

"Are all of these?"

The group was completely shocked.

"At a rough glance, there are about 10,000 books, right? When will you find them like this?"

"Mr. Mori," Jirokichi turned to the uncle and asked, "What do you think is the best way to start looking?"

"I can't help it, I can only look for it one by one..."

"Before I mobilized all the employees, I searched here for a whole day, but I couldn't find that piece of paper."

"Uh."

The uncle froze for a moment, feeling a little humiliated, but the words were out of his mouth, and there was no better way.

"Of course, after all, there are tens of thousands of books, and it is impossible to turn every page, so I flipped through it quickly," Jirokichi said in a deep voice, "but if there is a piece of paper in the book, it is impossible to turn the page. You should be able to see that page in no time."

"Well," the uncle felt a little troubled, "it's true...could it be hidden somewhere else later?"

"No," the old lady denied, "My husband passed away unfortunately in a traffic accident a few days ago.

Also, every time I come back from going out, he'll say 'it looks like the box hasn't been opened, because the paper is still stuck in the same place... Is this too hard for you? But if you really want to see it, I can tell you which book the paper is in...'

He said this, but it was really reconciled, as if I would never find it, so I didn't ask him, I always wanted to find it myself. "

Gao Cheng squinted his eyes.

This old couple really has a set.

"It's very strange. If there is really a moonstone in the trick box, is it necessary for your husband to hide it like this for fear that you will find it?"

"My husband is shy, and there may be..."

"and also?"

"I, I don't know too well, so I want to open it and have a look." The old lady hesitated.

Gao Cheng didn't ask, anyway, it was probably the couple's personal belongings.

The most important thing now is to find out the mechanism box manual among the tens of thousands of books in this library. Anyway, it is impossible for him to crack the mechanism box, and the entry-level mechanism skills are too far behind.

The key clue is that the old lady can't find...

"I said," Uncle Mao Li rushed forward and asked the old lady, "that piece of paper should be caught in those books that you don't usually read, madam, right?"

"Probably," the old lady thought carefully, "books that I don't know how to read, there are reasoning about death, and fantasy of all kinds of scary monsters..."

Gao Cheng looked at the uncle from behind.

Well, reasoning and fantasy ruled out.

If the old lady does not know the secret of the explanatory paper, it is certainly possible to be caught in these types of books, but it is impossible after the old lady knows.

Since the old gentleman was sure that the old lady couldn't find it, it meant that the paper would be caught in the book that the old lady wouldn't look for.

The old lady would look for books that she didn't usually read. After all, she was just looking for a note and didn't need to read the content.

The most dangerous place is the safest...

If you think about it this way, the old lady should be familiar with that book, but she won't look for it.

Uncle Mao Li and Conan all went to the bathroom, and the few people who stayed in the library didn't want to help find it, but instead read their favorite books.

Gao Cheng glanced over "Xiaolan".

This guy is very self-aware and didn't accompany Sonoko to the bathroom, but the way he looks for books is very eye-catching, that is, Conan is not there, otherwise he will see through it immediately.

Shaking his head, Gao Cheng continued to ask the old lady, "What book are you most familiar with?"

"The book you are most familiar with?" The old lady was stunned. "I don't actually read much, but my husband bought a lot of cookbooks for me who likes to cook."

Old man Jirokichi looked at Gao Cheng in amazement, and even "Xiao Lan" stopped what he was doing.

"Anything wrong with the cookbook?"

"Tens of thousands of books are too many, and the scope needs to be narrowed down."

Gao Cheng put a pile of cookbooks on the table, but he didn't read them immediately, he just smiled and said.

"First of all, you can be sure that if you look through all the books, even if you read all the books, you will not be able to find the instruction note in the folder, which means that the paper needs to be found page by page.

But if you can find it page by page, the old gentleman will not be so sure that the wife can't find it,

There is only one reason, and that is the books hidden in the madam that are easy to overlook when looking for them. The more familiar the book, the less madam thinks it will be the place where the old man hides the note. "

The old lady looked a little confused: "But, I usually read all these cookbooks carefully..."

"Do you really read every page?" Gao Cheng asked rhetorically.

"This..." The old lady hesitated.

Of course, I will not go to see some dishes that I know how to cook.

"Let's put it this way," Gao Cheng picked up a cookbook, "In these cookbooks, which dishes are you very good at before your husband hid the note, but you won't read them in the future?"

"Maybe," the old lady thought, "my best dish is potato stew, because he likes it very much, so my mother-in-law taught me to cook it herself."

"Let's look at the potato stew part."

Gao Cheng flipped through the cookbooks one by one.

He is not very clear about the method that he can't find after looking through it roughly, but it is not impossible to do it.

Just a little magic trick.

The principle is that the edges of the paper are not aligned. If some of the edges of the pages are cut off, when you turn the book with your fingers, the shortened pages will be automatically turned over, forming a hidden effect.

Here's a way, or just glue the two pages together.

"Yes, ragout."

The old man Jirokichi held a cooking book in surprise, opened one of the pages, and sure enough, there was an instruction manual for the mechanism box.

"It's amazing, it's actually here! Haha, Detective Kido is amazing!"

"Snapped!"

The lights in the room suddenly went out, and it was plunged into darkness for a moment.

"Huh? Power outage?"

"Is it Kidd?"

Conan and Uncle Maori just came back, and they looked a little confused in the dark.

"What's going on? Have you found the manual yet?" The uncle heard the old man Jiroji praise Gao Cheng outside, his face was ugly, so he went to the bathroom, it was too much.

"Now is not the time to talk about this," the old man Jiroji yelled in contact with his subordinates, "Hey, what are you doing? Quickly restore the lighting!"

A melodious music box melody came from the dark library hall to attract everyone's attention, and then there was the sound of an anti-theft cage falling.

Conan and the uncle rushed back to the hall again, but Gao Cheng didn't follow. He just turned on his watch and flashlight, and sure enough, "Xiaolan" could not be found.

He didn't think Kidd really went to open the lock box.

Because the melody of the music box in the dark is obviously wrong, the tune is the "Old Clock" created by American Henry Walker in 1876, and it was only introduced to Japan in 1940. Misui Yoshiemon at the end of the Shogunate had never heard of it.

Kidd doesn't seem to know enough about music.

What's strange is why I chose this time to make a move, since I just found the manual for the mechanism box.

"I have claimed the contents of the box... Phantom Thief Kidd!"

The lighting in the hall was restored, and the uncles who rushed to the hall first exclaimed, and the old man Jirokichi was stunned.

"Did you open Misui Kichiemon's mechanism box in just this short amount of time in the dark?"

"how is this possible?"

Gao Cheng looked at the Kidd card on the puzzle box and was speechless.

"That guy just can't afford to lose."

"what?"
