Friday, February 27, evening, Ninety-Nine Mansion.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, Jiujiu Qihui drove in front, led the Maori rented car off the highway, and after walking through the mountains and forests for more than ten minutes, he stopped in front of a mansion.

Looking at the courtyard walls on the left and right that are at least 500 meters long, and there are mansions with forests in the courtyard walls, Maori is speechless, and it is indeed a somewhat large courtyard.

Following Ninety-Nine Seven Megue, Mori parked the car in the parking lot next to the gatehouse, and got out of the car with Ran, Conan, Yamazaki, and Maidiko. When Yamazaki went back to Mei Dai's restaurant to say hello, it was almost the end of the first half, and Mei Dai Zi followed.

"It's so big here. Lan laughed.

"Nice air. Mei Daiko said.

"I bought it more than forty years ago, and this one is all about it. "It wasn't worth much at the time. ”

"Is that hill in the back too?" Lan asked in surprise.

"Yes, the area where the river and the highway intersect is all there, there are more than ten hectares. "To be honest, the current inheritance tax is too much of a headache. ”

"I want to have a headache too. Maori muttered.

Conan asked, "Now, who cleaned this yard?"

"I have a flower garden company where they plant flowers and trees, and they help take care of the forest and come over to take care of the yard regularly. Ninety-nine-seven Hui said, "My husband's three apprentices are just doing housework in the house. ”

"I mean, it's not like three people did it," Maori said. ”

"Please follow me. Ninety-nine-seven Megumi made a gesture of please, then led the way in front and walked onto a stone path, "This is the road to the main house, about two hundred meters. ”

"It's true that you can only run out without leaving a trace on a stretcher. "But if you want to get off the road and into the woods after going out, you will definitely leave at least four sets of footprints on the land, and if you want to wipe them off, you will definitely be recorded by surveillance because of the time." ”

"What if you put a plank?" said Conan, "put a plank on the dirt and pull it away." ”

"Well, that's doable. Maori said.

"That's too much trouble, I have an easy solution," said Maidiko, "just walk through the air and get out at any time." ”

"No helicopters have passed through here. Lan said.

"You don't need a helicopter," said Maidiko, "and the trees here are tall and dense enough to walk up from them." ”

"Heh, heh, if it were someone else, it would be fine, but with my husband's weight, I'm afraid there are very few branches that can withstand him. Ninety-nine-seven Hui smiled.

"Well," Midaiko asked, after a moment's thought, "what about the slippery rope?"

"Well, that's a way to do it. "Then you can choose two trees and put up a strong rope, and you can send your husband out at once." Then remove the rope and use those thirty seconds to run out. ”

"But how do you send my husband up the tree?" asked Ninety-Nine Seven Megumi.

"I think it would be easy to pull Mr. Ninety-Nine up with a pulley. Lan said.

"Ms. Qihui, I think it is necessary to ask someone to check the woods on both sides of this road. Maori said.

"Yes, I see. Ninety-nine-seven Hui said with a heavy heart.

Soon after, ninety-nine main homes.

Ninety-nine-seven Megumi introduced the three of Sanada Ichizo, Miyoshi Asako, and Hyaki Hiroshi who were waiting in the living room to Mori.

"Ah," Ran said, pointing at Sanada Kazuzo, "you're the magician who played the monster thief Kidd that day." ”

Miyoshi Asako asked with a smile, "You are Miss Lan played by the monster thief Kidd, right?"

At this moment, a little girl came in, "Hey, aren't you Conan?"

"You're, um," Conan asked, after a moment's thought, "Ninety-Nine Fumino from the next class, right?"

"Yes," Ninety-Nine asked happily, "what are you doing at my house, are you here to play with me?"

"Uh," Conan said, "no, it's just a little bit of a thing." ”

"What's the matter?" asked Ninety-Nine.

"It's my uncle who has something to do, this guy just came along. Mori smiled and pushed Conan in front of Ninety-Nine Fumino, "Miss, you can take him away." ”

"Then why don't you go shopping with us? Ninety-nine Fumino took Conan's arm and smiled, "Today is my birthday, and I can play all night." And in the middle of the night, Dad will send a mysterious gift, and we will look at it together. ”

"No," Ran rescued Conan, "I'm sorry, Conan is very busy right now, can he go back later?"

"Wen Nai," Ninety-Nine Seven Hui stepped forward and squatted down. Touched Ninety-Nine Wennai's head, "I'm sorry, I can't go shopping with you today." ”

"Ah, didn't you already promise me?" Ninety-nine Wennai cried out with a crying voice, "Mom, you lied to me. ”

"I'm sorry. Ninety-nine-seven Hui covered her mouth and said with a little choked up.

"Fumino, your name is Fumino, right? How about I go with you to play?" said with a smile, "Go to the playground and have a big meal." ”

"But I want to go shopping. Ninety-nine Wennai said.

Miyoshi Asako smiled: "Then sister go with you, I can help you pick out some beautiful new clothes." ”

"I'm sorry for you, Asako. Ninety-nine-seven Hui said.

"Brother?" asked Midaiko.

"Go, I'll be with you. Yamazaki laughed, and then said to Maori, "Uncle, the code is that I'm not very good, so I won't go, and we'll go home by ourselves." ”

"Oh well. Maori agreed.

"Ran, aren't you coming?" asked Midaiko.

"Nope. Lan shook his head and said.

After Miyoshi Asako, Kukujutsu Fumino, Yamazaki and Midaiko left, Maori asked, "Lady Nanae, haven't you let Miss know about your husband's disappearance?"

Ninety-nine-seven Hui sighed: "It's a while, it's a while." ”

Moments later, the underground studio.

This room is about fifty square meters, and there are many large cabinets on all four walls, which contain all kinds of magic props, and some specimens of small animals such as rabbits and pigeons, and there is a row of photographs on the wall on the right side of the door, and on the left side of the door is a large desk with a large number of playing cards.

Maori asked, "Ms. Nanae, what is this basement for?"

Ninety-nine-seven Hui said: "This is my husband's exclusive room, he often comes here to study new magic tricks, and these apprentices occasionally come here. ”

Baidi Yushi said: "Master asked us to come. ”

Conan asked, "What about these pictures on the wall?"

Sanada Ichizo said: "They are all apprentices of the master, and they are all on their own, but they can still be said to be our senior brothers." ”

Conan asked, "So, who is the brother in the black top hat in the middle photo?"

"It was Kinoshita, a genius among geniuses, but unfortunately he died in an accident during a practice fourteen years ago. Sanada Kazuzo said, "I replaced him, so to speak." ”

Lan asked Conan, "Why do you ask that?"

Conan said: "Because only the picture is free of dust, I don't know if someone cleans it often." ”

Ninety-nine-seven Hui said: "It should be Mazi, and Kinoshita is Mazi's own brother." ”

Maori asked, "This room has been the same as it was that day, right?"

"Yes," said Ninety-Nine-Seven, "except for the vomit about three steps in front of this desk, I replaced it with stones. Then he shoved the code cards under the cards on his desk, "and it was mixed in with these cards." ”

"That said, this could be a clue left by Mr. Ninety-Nine," Maori said. ”

"By the way, Detective Maori, there's something very strange," said Ninety-Nine Seven, "The fingerprints on these cards are not on the top, but all of them are below, and from right to left are from the little finger of the right hand to the little finger of the left hand. ”

"That's how the cards are taken," Maori put his palms up in front of him, "but from right to left, it should be from the right thumb to the left thumb." ”

"It's the back. Conan said, "When you put your palms up behind your back, it's the right left hand from the little finger of your right hand to the little finger of your left hand." ”

"That's right, it's behind the scenes. Maori put his hands behind his back and said in surprise, "In that case, Mr. Ninety-Nine is tied up, and he secretly put these playing cards." ”

Sanada Kazuzo said: "No, this kind of small action can't be hidden. ”

"There was no one at the time. Maori said.

Hiroshi Baiji said: "But when the prisoner comes to take the master away again, it is impossible for these playing cards not to be seen." ”

"Well," Maori said after a moment's thought, "by the way, the prisoner must have just called Mr. Ninety-Nine out of the door." ”

"My husband likes to listen to classical music, so he made a soundproofing project here so that he can enjoy the music very loudly. ”

"Ah, that's right. Maori said with some embarrassment.

"Auntie, where else do you have fingerprints like that?" asked Conan, "do you have them on the doorknob?

"Both. Ninety-nine-seven Hui said.

"Where is it?" asked Conan.

"It's all down there. Sanada Kazuzo said.

"What about the phone button?" asked Conan.

"No, that's strange to say," Ninety-Nine Seven Megumi said, "as if it had been wiped, and there were no fingerprints on the phone buttons." ”

"Now it seems that Master erased it to tell us that he pressed the phone key with the back of his finger. Sanada Kazuzo said, "Master's hand must have been tied with the ring he was wearing. ”

Hiroshi asked, "You mean the silk ring that Master used to manipulate the puppet?"

"Hanging ring?" Lan asked.

"That's it. Ninety-nine-seven Megumi pointed to a photo that seemed to have silk threads sticking out of her fingers, "This ring is a magic prop with a long silk thread hidden in it, which is used to manipulate the puppet's activities. ”

Lan asked, "By the way, since Mr. Ninety-Nine can press the phone, why didn't he call the police?

Ninety-nine-seven Megumi said, "It turned out to be a pen, but it seems to have been taken away by a prisoner. ”

Hiroshi Baiji said: "The prisoner should have unplugged the telephone line of the entire main house, so the phone could not be called. ”

"Okay, now let's sort it out. Maori said, "The prisoner fed Mr. Ninety-Nine a capsule, tied him here, and then went out, and Mr. Ninety-Nine spit out the capsule first, and then went to open the door and tried to run, but probably found someone outside, so he didn't succeed in escaping." So he left a code on the phone, and covered the phone with playing cards, so that, uh, yes, to delay the time, and the prisoner probably didn't have so much time to check the cards one by one, and he wouldn't have thought that Mr. Ninety-Nine had left a message on the phone that couldn't be called. ”

"That's not right, Detective Maori, if the prisoners want to kill my master, then why should they take him away. Hiroshi Momochi said.

"Well, uh," Maori couldn't answer for a moment, then changed the subject, "let's look at the code first, the answer should be there." ”

However, Maori looked at the code, and Khan was in a hurry and didn't think of a clue.

Lan asked, "Conan, do you have anything interesting in mind?"

"Sister Lan, I think these numbers are so strange," said Conan, "you see, if you press these numbers according to the keys on the phone, they can be connected into a strange shape." ”

"Strange shapes?" Mori said, "Well, this is 'DCマコ'." ”

"Does 'マコ' mean Asako?" asked Hiroshi Momochi in surprise.

"That's all I can't say for sure, and besides, it's just that Mr. Ninety-Nine wants to give Asako some message," Mori said, "I don't know what DC means before マコ." ”

Lan asked, "Well, Mr. Ninety-Nine likes music, could this be the 'D.C.' that often appears on the score?"

"What is it?" asked Maori.

"DACAP0," said Hiroshi Momochi, "means to go back to square one and repeat it." ”

"Repeat, repeat," Ninety-Nine Seven Hui said with some panic, "Could it be ......?"

"Don't worry, Lady Nanae," Mori comforted, "my assistant is next to your daughter, too. Then he took out his mobile phone, but found that there was no signal.

"It's underground, and it's on the surface, and the base station on the side of the highway covers it," Sanada said. ”……
