Stay away from Conan

Faced with Conan's words, Mouri Kogoro on the side saw that the phone had been hung up, and felt that it was not the turn of Hattori Heiji in Osaka to take care of the incident in Tokyo, so he said seriously:

"Officer Megure, this is Tokyo, let's just ignore that kid in Osaka and deal with it ourselves!"

"Hahaha!"

In this regard, looking at Mouri Kogoro's expression, Officer Megure couldn't help but laugh. He felt that it was almost the same, and said:

"That's right...then, shouldn't you fall asleep too?"

"ah?"

Suddenly, when he heard what Officer Megure said, Mouri Kogoro looked at a loss and said in confusion:

"How can I solve the case while I'm asleep?"

"It's just a metaphor!"

In this regard, Officer Megure continued to explain with a smile:

"When you were solving cases before, didn't it always seem like you had a sudden inspiration, and then you started reasoning as if you were asleep? So are you feeling it now?"

"Oh, that's not the case yet..."

After blinking, Mouri Kogoro said helplessly, and then his expression became serious. He picked up the manuscript in his hand and continued to read:

"The problem lies in the dialogue of the character that Mr. Shinmei created based on himself in the novel... By interpreting his dialogue, the code can be deciphered. However, according to the hint of the title 'Half of the Vertex', although it can Unravel the content of the first conversation, but if such rules are applied to subsequent conversations, it will be impossible to interpret fluent sentences. After all..."

"Yeah, even if I read through all the plots from the first time this character appeared to the second time this character appeared, I couldn't find any other hints that hinted at the solution. Suddenly I couldn't interpret it in the original way. Oh, what the hell is going on?"

Regarding this, Conan on the side also felt anxious and thought——

"Could it be that the first code to call for help was discovered by the gangsters who imprisoned Mr. Shinname, so as a last resort, in order to prevent the gangsters from noticing the problem, Mr. Shinname changed the way he interpreted it?"

With a solemn look on his face, Officer Memu analyzed seriously.

"If the gangster is really a fan of Mr. Shinname's book, it is impossible not to be suspicious of Mr. Shinname's unusual declaration at the front of the book and the appearance of a character based on the author himself. In other words, it is very likely that the gangster It has been discovered that Mr. Shinname wanted to use this to ask for help from the outside world, so after that, the gangster may have changed the paragraph with the code before faxing the manuscript to the editorial office! "

At this moment, Mouri Kogoro looked at the uninterpretable content in front of him and couldn't help but make this analysis, and then said:

"Officer Megure, I think it is impossible to decipher the contents of these conversations. If we want to rescue Mr. Shinname, we can only find other ways to search!"

This is very serious, Mouri Kogoro advised.

"Um."

Nodding, Officer Megure felt that what Mori Kogoro said made sense, so he thought about dispatching a large number of police forces to start the search——

However, at this moment, the fax machine in the editorial office started to move, and the latest manuscript about the novel "Half of the Peak" was transmitted.

"Huh? Why at this time..."

At this moment, the editor-in-chief of the editorial department was suddenly surprised when he saw that the content transmitted was the latest serialized manuscript of the novel——

"What's wrong?"

Urgently, seeing the editor-in-chief showing such a surprised look, Conan hurriedly asked.

To this, the editor-in-chief replied:

"Because, the teacher's serial manuscripts are delivered on time at midnight on Saturdays every week, and there is no time error. But, why is it still daytime..."

"Show us!"

After realizing something was wrong, Mouri Kogoro couldn't help but stepped forward, took the manuscript uploaded from the fax machine, and began to look for dialogue passages that might contain secret codes. Then, after finding the pages of the relevant passages, he The rest of the paper was left on the fax machine.

Regarding this, Conan was anxious to see it, but due to his height, he could not see the manuscript that Mouri Kogoro was holding while standing.

Therefore, Conan had no choice but to look at the contents of the remaining manuscripts left on the fax machine, and then——

"The mystery has been solved. I would like to thank the readers who fulfilled my wish for their wisdom and lofty ideals..."

Suddenly, after turning to the end of the manuscript, Conan saw this sentence written in the final appendix, and couldn't help but read it out in surprise——

"What!"

"Brother Wise!"

Immediately, as soon as these words came out, Mouri Kogoro, Officer Megure, and everyone else here were startled, and then they couldn't help but came to Conan, took a look at the content of the last page, and indeed saw At the end of this manuscript, in the postscript, I left these words.

So, although he was puzzled, Officer Mumu immediately took out his mobile phone and contacted Gao Yuan...

…

"So, in the end, we thought about the follow-up code that we couldn't solve for a long time. The detective just looked through those serialized novels and knew the answer directly?"

A few days later during the holidays, at the Osaka Shinkansen station, when Conan, Ran and Kogoro Mori got off the train, they met Hattori Heiji, who had arrived with a group of people.

As for the secret code of the novel "The Vertex of Half" that day, Hattori Heiji took the opportunity to walk out of the station and couldn't help but ask Conan to learn about the situation. Then he learned the general situation after that, and he couldn't help but sighed.

"Yes. Mr. Shinmei's daughter, Miss Shinmei Kabaori, who entrusted Mr. Akechi to investigate Mr. Shinmei's whereabouts, saw with her own eyes that Mr. Akechi immediately knew about Mr. Shinmei after simply flipping through the magazines. Whereabouts. Because Mr. Shinname was suffering from terminal cancer, he wanted to fulfill his last wish before he died. He hoped that some readers could be the first to interpret the truth before he gave the answer, so he planned this willfully in the last moments of his life. incident...

"In the end, Mr. Akechi fulfilled his wish and allowed this mystery novelist to pass away without regret."

In this regard, Conan couldn't help but explain with some sadness.

"That's right..."

Also feeling a little emotional, Hattori Heiji couldn't help but said:

"But I still don't understand. Aren't we unable to interpret the subsequent interpretation according to the original rules?"

"Because there are still hidden clues."

Conan explained:

"In the novel, the character created by Mr. Shinname based on himself is living in France. This is actually a reminder that the subsequent interpretation must take into account the rules of French, that is, the 'H' at the beginning of the word is not pronounced. In this way, subsequent conversations can also be interpreted.”

"So that's it..."

In response, Hattori Heiji nodded silently, and then seemed to remember something, and couldn't help but ask:

"By the way, where's the detective brother? Didn't he also agree to come over to play? Why didn't he come with you?"

"He didn't take the same bus as us, he will probably arrive late."

Conan couldn't help but explain.

"Really……"

In this way, Hattori Heiji, who had some understanding, led Conan and others towards the outside of the station——

"Then, let me take you around during this trip to Osaka!"

As Hattori Heiji said this, he couldn't help but take the lead and walked outside the station, leading everyone to a police car...
