Stay away from Conan

Having been a writer for decades, the moment when I feel happy is when my work is appreciated by everyone, but until my life is about to come to an end, the writer still has a kind of happiness that he has not experienced——

That is, I hope to see readers running over to tell him with great satisfaction that they have already guessed the answer before the writer gives the answer.

The above is the reason why the mystery writer, named Rentaro, who deliberately lost contact with his wife for two months in the original work, did so.

He hoped to fulfill this wish before he died, so he took his wife and hid in this hotel and began to serialize this novel with a code. In order to make the whole thing look very realistic, they even became his daughter. Xiang Baoli's new name has been concealed.

This led to the situation where Ms. Kahori, whose new name was known, was worried that something had happened to her parents, so she commissioned a detective to find them.

Originally, if Gao Yuan remembered correctly, in the original work, this incident was finally entrusted to the hands of Kogoro Mori, and with the help of Conan, the code hidden in the novel was finally solved.

However, at the end of the original work, Conan and the others still did not catch up to see Mr. Xinmin for the last time. The mystery novelist's last wish was not seen with his own eyes before he died.

And now, since Gao Yuan came here directly after receiving the commission, he must be able to catch up——

Although he essentially learned the result by copying the answers, if everything was as it was in the original work, Gao Yuan might be able to unlock the code early and find this place to fulfill the writer's last wish. Just do it with your heart...

Just like that, as the door of the hotel room opened and he looked at the mystery novel writer Shinname Rentaro, who was lying on the bed and almost dying of illness, Gao Yuan said those words...

…

"I'm in the Persuasion Department, regarding other dialogue parts..."

At the same time, in the office of the editorial department of "Literary Times" published by University Hall Publishing House, after discovering that the young man with an Osaka accent who called the editorial department was actually Hattori Heiji, everyone present looked at him because of the After learning that the first code in the newly serialized novel about the new name Rentaro meant "hurry up and save me" when solved, the rest of the people were having a headache about how to solve the code. Before the call was hung up, Conan picked up the phone and started talking to Hattori Heiji on the other end of the phone.

"Huh?"

In this regard, when Hattori Heiji on the other end of the phone heard Conan's voice, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but feel a little surprised, and then said in surprise:

"Ah! It's Kudo! Why are you there?"

"I still want to ask you this! How do you know that in the new serialization of the "Detective Zuomonji" series, the author's new name, Mr. Rentaro, has hidden a distress code in it?"

Hearing this, Conan felt the same way and said puzzledly when faced with Hattori Heiji's inquiry.

In response, Hattori Heiji replied:

"Ah, isn't this because the latest TV series of the "Detective Zuomonji" series has recently been launched, and then I noticed that the new novel in this series is also being serialized, so I read it with great interest...but it didn't happen I thought that after looking at it, I discovered the distress code hidden in it, so I hurriedly called the publisher who published this serialized novel. "

After explaining this, Hattori Heiji then asked back:

"how about you?"

"Both and each other. I just learned today that a new novel in this series is being serialized. When I saw the author's provocation in the opening paragraph, I felt strange, and then I became aware of the existence of this distress message."

Conan replied calmly.

"That's really a coincidence! Indeed, we are all similar and we will always meet inadvertently."

Hattori Heiji seemed to be very pleased that he and Conan had found clues very similar to each other. Hattori Heiji couldn't help but continue:

"But speaking of it, it's a pity that I didn't meet you last time when the detective brother and I were involved in the case on the Southern Island. You know, it was a rare reasoning showdown with several detectives! But without you participating, I would always I feel like there’s something missing. How about coming to Osaka another day? I’ll treat you to something delicious! Of course, if we can have another reasoning showdown...

"I'm going to die..."

After listening to Hattori Heiji nagging so much, Conan suddenly felt very overwhelmed and didn't want to let him talk any more, so he threatened him——

"Ah! Sorry, sorry! About the code..."

So, hurriedly, Hattori Heiji changed the topic back, and then began to say seriously:

"Indeed, according to the title of the novel, the code of the first paragraph of dialogue has been solved. But the code of the next paragraph, and the next paragraph, using the rule of 'half of the vertex', is not at all Can't form a complete sentence..."

"yes."

In response, Conan nodded and affirmed:

"If you discard a few words in front, you can only pronounce the first three words fluently, but the following words are completely unsound. It seems that there are not enough clues to unlock this code. …”

"Well, the important clue that deceived our two detectives should be hidden somewhere in the content of this novel."

Hattori Heiji couldn't help but echoed Conan's words.

Then when he said this, as if he thought of something, Hattori Heiji sighed slightly——

"Hey? Hattori, what's wrong with you?"

Hearing Hattori Heiji sigh, Conan suddenly asked in confusion.

Then, I heard Hattori Heiji reply:

"I am so silly……"

"What?"

Even more surprised, Conan said doubtfully.

"Since you are already at the scene, why do you need me to worry about being in Osaka..."

In this regard, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but said helplessly, and then said with a smile:

"By the way, why don't you just take the next vacation? Call you and the detective brother and come to Osaka to play together! As for this matter this time, I will leave it to you to take charge of it. If so Please contact me if you have any further clues! Please work hard!”

After saying that, Hattori Heiji hung up the phone.

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Conan was surprised when he heard Hattori Hei wanted to hang up the phone. He thought he could discuss it further with him, but before he finished speaking, there was a sound of hanging up on the other end of the phone——

"hateful!"

So, somewhat angry, Conan forcefully put the phone receiver back on the landline.

"Ah! By the way, how about we let Brother Hattori come up with the next code... Huh?"

At the same time, because they could not analyze the next answer to the code, Officer Megure and others were deeply puzzled, so they couldn't help but think of Hattori Heiji who had called just now, but now they saw Conan hang up the phone. Several people present could not help but feel confused.

In this regard, Conan had no choice but to say:

"It was Hattori brother who hung up first..."
