Stay away from Conan

"Mr. Mao Li and Conan will stay at Xiaolong's house these two days, and Xiaolong, I guess... Xiaolan, will need you to take care of him for two days."

After contacting Conan, because they have decided to let Conan be Xiaolong's substitute, naturally, the identity that should be Conan's side has to be temporarily replaced by Xiaolong.

In this way, after listening to Gao Yuan's general description of the situation, she knew that Conan and his father were safe now. They were taken away by Xiaolong's mother just because of a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding was solved, Xiaolan looked at the man next to her who looked almost like Conan. The boy who looked exactly the same saw that he didn't reject him, so he naturally agreed to the matter.

Therefore, facing the current situation, Gao Yuan could not help but drive the van rented by Maori Kogoro, take Xiaolan and Xiaolong back to the Maori Detective Agency, and prepare to help Maori Kogoro first. The rental car was returned.

On the way, Gao Yuan, who was sitting in the car, couldn't help but ask Xiaolong because of that very crucial code:

"Xiaolong, your father...has he ever told you anything about secret codes?"

Because in the final analysis, the problem with Xiaolong still comes down to the suicide note left by his father, King Qinglong, before his death. The fact that his child Xiaolong had to unlock the secret code in order to inherit the family business made things reach this point. Very embarrassing situation——

Xiaolong's uncle watched all this with eager eyes. He must have hoped that Xiaolong could not decipher the code so that the final inheritance would belong to him. The attitude he showed had already made Xiaolong's mother feel that it was entirely possible for him to kidnap Xiaolong. Such a despicable "off-board move" ensures that Xiaolong is prevented from unlocking the secret code.

In this way, it is obvious that the suicide note left by the Dragon King is actually very dangerous to Xiaolong's mother and son, because if you think about it more deeply, the content of this suicide note is equivalent to an extreme one-two choice, that is, the person who can inherit the Qing Dragon King's estate , either his son or his brother, there is no middle option at all.

And such an approach seems to be bound to arouse the thoughts of Qinglong King's younger brother Huolong, causing him to resort to despicable means in order to obtain the inheritance.

Moreover, judging from the information I have found so far, before determining the ownership of the inheritance, Huolong, as the second-in-command of the actual "Qing" company, naturally has much greater power than Xiaolong and his mother. After all, Xiaolong is It is impossible for him to do anything practical for the company due to his age, and Xiaolong’s mother, Mei Ling, is not a leader of the company.

Therefore, as of now, as long as Xiaolong does not unlock the code, the actual person in charge of the "Qing" company is still Huolong.

Therefore, with the death of the Dragon King, based on the leadership structure of the "Qing" company that can be found now, I am afraid that no one within the company can suppress the fire dragon now. Therefore, Gao Yuan felt that this matter was weird no matter how he thought about it.

So in this case, based on the content of the suicide note, the final outcome of this matter is nothing more than a choice between two, either the fire dragon takes complete power, or the young dragon takes over.

So starting from this point of view, if the Dragon King just wants his younger brother to take power, why does it need to be so complicated?

You know, during these seven days of waiting for Xiaolong to unlock the code, the fire dragon might do whatever it takes, which would be tantamount to putting his son in danger.

Therefore, Gao Yuan felt that if the Dragon King had already intended his younger brother to succeed him, he should not have left such a will. Instead, he clearly asked the Fire Dragon to succeed him, and at the same time left an asset to his wife and children that would not allow the Fire Dragon to kill them all. It also ensures the future life of their mother and son.

However, this clearly does not seem to be the case now.

Then, the situation falls to the other of the only two possibilities——

That dragon king just wanted his son to inherit.

In this case, this matter becomes a bit intriguing——

Indeed, if the Dragon King had already decided that his son should inherit everything, then why not just make this clear in his suicide note instead of making things so complicated?

However, this is obviously different from direct inheritance from his younger brother, because the power of the two parties is not at the same level at all!

Now, based on Gao Yuan's initial understanding of Huolong and Xiaolong's mother Mei Ling's belief that Huolong would kidnap him, once the suicide note directly confirms that Xiaolong is his only heir, will Xiaolong really be able to sit back and relax?

Obviously not!

For such a young child, he doesn't know much, and his mother, Mei Ling, has no real power in the company. It's hard to guarantee whether Fire Dragon will take risks——

Once Xiaolong, the sole heir, has an accident, how will the Dragon King's inheritance be distributed in the end?

Especially in terms of the company's board of directors, Huolong can now be regarded as the actual controller.

Therefore, it can be expected that doing so will put the dragon in danger.

So looking at the current situation this way, what are the consequences of the Dragon King’s will?

Seven days buffer...

Because Xiaolong would definitely inherit the company, Huolong wasn't ready to take risks directly.

So, is this a thorough test?

It not only tests Xiaolong's mind, but also tests whether Xiaolong can successfully handle so many troubles caused by inheritance...

If you calculate it this way, it seems somewhat reasonable.

But in this situation, there is still a core problem that needs to be solved——

That's about code.

How can the dragon king be sure that Xiaolong can unlock the secret code?

If the secret code is a puzzle that the dragon can't solve at all, then this so-called test has no meaning. Instead, it would be better to just write in the will that all the inheritance will be handed over to the fire dragon.

Therefore, Gao Yuan felt that in order to achieve this, it was necessary to at least ensure that Xiaolong had a high probability of being able to decipher the code.

Therefore, Gao Yuan asked just now, asking Xiaolong if he had heard any information about secret codes from his father.

And hearing this, knowing that the Chinese-speaking elder brother in front of him had contacted his mother, he understood that there was now a little boy who looked very much like him taking his place in his own home. This made Xiaolong feel a little grateful for what he had just seen. Big brothers and big sisters that I have known for a while.

So, when faced with this problem, Xiaolong didn't hide too much. After thinking briefly, he remembered one thing:

"By the way. My father often told me the story of the secret code that was first transmitted to Japan."

"Oh? What's the secret code?"

Because it was said in Japanese, Xiaolan understood it, so she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

"In the past, important documents from Goryeo were written on the feathers of birds with ink, but because the feathers of the birds were black and the ink was black, no one could read them."

While thinking about it, Xiaolong told this story that his father told him:

"However, a smart man heated the bird feathers with steam to dissolve the ink, then pressed silk cloth on top to remove the text, and finally read the content..."
