Stay away from Conan

Chapter 875 Crossword Puzzle

"Huh? So these days, Haibara-san went out to play with the big sister he met, right?"

In Didan Primary School, as the school bell rang, most students were packing their schoolbags in the classroom and planning to go home. In the classroom of Class B of the first year, I listened to Xiao Ai explaining why he had not come to class these days. Mitsuhiko couldn't help but said -

"It's great! I can take leave to travel for so many days..."

In response to this, Ayumi on the side looked very envious and said, then looked at the empty seat next to Xiao Ai and said with some relief:

"I thought you were hanging out with Conan and the others!"

"yes."

At this time, Mitsuhiko heard what Ayumi said and couldn't help but echoed:

"Conan sometimes doesn't come to school and goes to play around the country."

"Really."

Regarding this, Xiao Ai looked at the attitudes of the two people around her and couldn't help but think -

Because he wants to follow that detective to handle the case...

Therefore, since Conan did not come to school today, he thought that after school, these children would not have any other plans. At most, they would go somewhere to play games. Therefore, Xiao Ai thought that he would go back early to take care of his sister today and did not continue. Talkative, he packed his schoolbag——

"Everyone! Come on!"

However, at this moment, Yuantai, who was sitting in the front row and packing his schoolbag, suddenly shouted loudly to Xiao Ai and others behind him.

Immediately, Mitsuhiko and Ayumi walked up curiously and asked Genta what happened——

"When I was just packing my schoolbag to go home, I found it in the drawer..."

Seeing Mitsuhiko and Ayumi approaching his table, Genta pointed to the things on his table and explained:

"There's a strange letter and a box."

I saw that on Yuantai's desk, there was a piece of A4 paper with writing on it, and a small box——

"'To the Young Detective Team, prepare 1...1.3 million...500 yen'?"

Surprised, Ayumi trembled when she looked at the words on the A4 paper, and counted the numbers on it in surprise.

"Also...'My grandson and brother came to pray to heaven to recommend gods'..."

Continuing, Mitsuhiko read out the rest of the paper, and then his expression became very panicked and said:

"what is this!"

"It's just a prank."

In this regard, Xiao Ai, who had packed her schoolbag, listened to what the young detective team in the front row were talking about, and couldn't help but look at them helplessly, and sighed plainly.

"Yes, if I could prepare 1.3 million yen, I would eat eel rice every day, or buy snacks from the entire supermarket!"

Hearing Xiao Ai's words, Yuantai began to imagine this, and then suddenly remembered that there was that box, and couldn't help but say:

"By the way, let's see what's in the box..."

With that said, Yuantai picked up the box and opened it, only to see that there was also a piece of paper inside——

"There is a card with 'SHIIDOU' written on it... It seems to be some kind of secret code."

Puzzled, Yuantai said this.

"You want us to go to a place like the sink? But what is this note like a reminder for?"

In response to this, Ayumi couldn't help but feel a headache after seeing that it was a code. She immediately took out her detective badge and tried to call Conan and said:

"Shall we call Conan and ask him?"

"No!"

Seeing this, Mitsuhiko directly denied:

"There is absolutely no need to find Conan, the code is very simple!"

Looking very confident, Mitsuhiko said this, and then he took the note out of the box, pointed to the words on it, and explained:

"Look, it says, 'Even if you rack your brains, you can only remove two points.' The meaning of these two points is to remove the two points on the voiced symbols written on the paper. So, the answer is 'kettle' '!"

Speaking of this, Mitsuhiko made a scissors gesture to everyone, looking very proud——

"Misuhiko, so awesome!"

In response, Ayumi couldn't help but smile and applaud.

"That's right, where's the kettle?"

Hearing this, Yuantai began to look around, and then he saw that there was indeed a kettle near the podium, so he stepped forward and took it over.

At the same time, seeing how everyone in the Young Detective Team was so busy racking their brains for these two pieces of paper, Xiao Ai, who was about to put on his schoolbag and leave, couldn't help but put down his schoolbag and stepped forward to see what happened. what's going on--

Then, Xiao Ai saw that the A4 paper with words like "1.3 million" and "grandson and brother" actually had a lot of blank space.

For example, the so-called "1.3 million" is actually the numbers "1", "300", "500", and the words "yen". There are obviously large spaces in the middle, as if a few words have been deleted. , and the same is true between "grandson" and "brother" later, with obvious spaces separated.

Xiao Ai understood this——

There are obvious gaps in the content on this piece of paper. To fully understand the content of this piece of paper, you have to fill in the blanks...

Come to think of it...

In this way, watching the members of the Young Detective Team follow the prompts and start looking for clues, Xiao Ai probably understood who should have left this code——

But who could it be?

With this in mind, Xiao Ai watched the children find seven pieces of paper with seven pseudonyms from the kettle, and then began to rack their brains to combine the seven pseudonyms. Xiao Ai smiled slightly and did not say anything. Those who participated in helping just watched and gave some hints during the process...

Finally, by combining the words, the detective team spelled out the word "backpack" and found a backpack in the classroom.

And in this backpack, just as Xiao Ai thought, the second A4 paper appeared——

"When a person is killed... he prays to heaven to introduce the gods."

In this regard, everyone in the detective team looked a little ugly when they saw the words on the paper, especially when they saw the word "kill".

But at this moment, with the words "Pray to Heaven and Recommend Gods" that also existed on the two pieces of paper, Xiao Ai already knew the full answer in her heart——

As long as the two pieces of paper are stacked so that the same parts of "praying to heaven and recommending gods" overlap, the blank parts of the two pieces of paper can be filled in.

The full text is actually——

"To the Young Detective Team, prepare 300 to 500 yen per person and come to Zhenshin Supermarket (MAGO (grandson) KOROSU (kill) TOANI (and brother) KOI (come))."

Thinking of this, Xiao Ai smiled faintly, and couldn't help but remember that in class today, Teacher Xiaolin mentioned that he would go out for an outing in a few days, so he roughly guessed that this might be the scene of the Edogawa trip a few days ago. Conan prepared a secret code for everyone in the Young Detective Team. The purpose was to ask everyone to buy snacks for the subsequent outing.

As for "praying to heaven and recommending gods", it probably refers to hoping that the weather will be good on the day of the outing...

"Oh, how childish..."

With a faint smile, Xiao Ai silently looked at the few people in front of him who had not yet unlocked the codes. He wondered how long the great detective who left these codes would have to wait at the supermarket...

…

"A fatwa..."

Continuing, looking at the web content displayed in front of the computer, Shirozuka Jade's expression gradually became a little solemn as he nestled in the room of the high-rise apartment -

"The target seems to be in the suburbs..."
