Chapter 0121: Shooting on the River

Saturday, April 27.

Today's weather is very good, and the head of the Junior Detective Corps has decided to hold a picnic event by the river, and the source of the picnic food is the fish provided by the river next to it. In order to show their determination to eat the fish they caught, the three detectives only brought some water. After calling Conan out of the house, the four of them went to the river.

Seeing that there are many fish of different sizes swimming around in the river, it feels very good to catch, but after the three of the detective group go down, they find that catching fish is also a technical job, and the finger-sized ones are copied a lot, but there is not a single one that can be eaten.

Seeing Conan lying in the grass to catch up on sleep, Yuan Tai shouted, "Conan, come down and help." ”

Looking at the fishing tools lined up, three small buckets, one of which still contains small fish, and three nets are being used. Shaking his head, Conan picked up two empty buckets and went down.

After more than an hour of struggle, two buckets covered two big fish that could be eaten.

"What now, how do you get them out?" said Motota, touching his stomach, "I'm a little hungry." ”

"That's easy," Mitsuhiko laughed, "just open a slit and stick the net in, and then pick it up slowly." ”

"What are you going to eat, Motota?" Conan asked, "Why didn't I see the pot?"

"Of course it's baked," Motota said, "just like on TV, skewered with a stick." ”

"Just roast?" Conan asked helplessly.

"Is there a problem?" said Motota uncertainly, "I guess it can be baked." ”

"Well," Mitsuhiko said, "I guess the scales and entrails need to be removed." ”

"Ah, you are so cruel, and the fish are so pitiful. Ayumi said, "Let's put them there." Then, without waiting for the others to answer, he quickly lifted the bucket and let go of the two big fish.

Seeing this, the three of them had no choice but to go ashore. Looking at the bucket of small fish, Yuan Tai said, "Put these too, these can't be eaten." With that, he walked over.

"No," Ayumi said as she hurriedly protected the bucket, "I'm going to take these back and raise them." ”

"Then let's catch some and raise them. Mitsuhiko immediately proposed.

"Okay. Yuan Tai immediately agreed.

"Well, Motota," looked at his watch, and sooner, Conan asked, "Do you bring a bento?"

"Ah," said Motota at once, "as soon as you say I'm hungry." Then he asked, "Why don't we go back to dinner?"

"Wait a little longer," Mitsuhiko said, "and I'll catch some more before I go." ”

At this time, a remote-controlled speedboat with a balloon attached to it sailed in front of the water where the detective group was located, attracting the attention of the detective group. And just as it was far away, when the four members of the detective group retracted their sight, there was a sudden sound, and then the balloon burst in response.

It was the sound of gunshots, Conan was startled, and immediately took the binoculars that Mitsuhiko brought for fear of getting wet and put them on the shore, followed the place where the gunshots came from, and looked at the stoppage building across the river, on the roof, a man stood up with a rifle, and then looked around him, four men in black suits, two of them each holding a pistol, but pointed at the head of the man with the rifle.

Seeing this, the telescope was suddenly snatched away by Genta who was curious about what he was looking at.

"Wow, it's a gun, it was a gunshot. Yuan Tai shouted, "Oh......"

At this time, Conan snatched the telescope back, but no one was in sight.

"Conan, let me see. Mitsuhiko said.

"It's gone. Conan asked, "What did you just see?"

"Well, I used my telescope to reflect the sunlight in his eyes, and I saw him look here, and he must have spotted us. Yuan Tai said a little nervously, "Let's go, he has a gun." ”

"No, he was forced. Conan said, "Come with me." ”……

When he got to where the man was standing just now, Motota asked, "Did you shoot that balloon from here?"

Mitsuhiko exclaimed, "If that's the case, it's really a powerful technique." ”

Ayumi asked, "Is that guy doing shooting practice?"

"Or is it just a test?" Conan guessed.

"Test?" Ayumi asked rhetorically.

"And it's compulsory," Conan said. ”

Yuan Tai asked rhetorically, "Compulsive?"

"I just saw two other people with pistols pointed at the man. Conan replied, and as he spoke, he crawled on the ground and searched around.

Ayumi asked, "What are you doing?"

"The man saw us," Conan said, "and I wondered if there would be anything left behind that would allow us to inform the police." ”

So, the detective group searched around the roof, and after rummaging through it, they found a calculator behind a brick on the steps downstairs.

Looking at the numbers above, 3135134162, Yuan Tai, who didn't understand, asked, "What are these numbers?"

Conan speculated, "I wonder if it could be the one who used the gun to shoot and wanted to leave us a signal." ”

"Did he really leave it?" Ayumi asked.

Mitsuhiko asked, "But what is the meaning of these numbers?"

The four of them thought about it for a while, but they didn't come up with a clue for a while. Conan said, "Anyway, we're going to have to notify the Twilight Police Department first." Then he asked, "Which of you has a detective badge?"

The three of them shook their heads together, and Ayumi said, "We were afraid that we would accidentally get wet, so we didn't bring it." ”

Remembering that they had changed their clothes today, Conan and the four had no choice but to honestly find the phone. Because Conan only likes to wear this blue suit and gray shorts, Lan specially bought a few sets when he went shopping with Mei Daizi and Yuanzi to facilitate Conan's replacement.

Ten minutes later, the call to the police finally rang. Thirty minutes later, the Twilight Police Department finally arrived, bringing a police officer with them.

After introducing the situation and presenting the calculator, Conan said, "If I'm not mistaken, the man must have been kidnapped and brought here, because it looks like he was forced." ”

"However, so far, no reports have been received. After looking around with a telescope, the Twilight Police Department said helplessly, "After looking at it just now, I didn't find any clues." ”

"No," called Motota, "please investigate it more closely, and maybe you will find a bullet on the other side or in the river, you will definitely be able to." ”

"That's right," Mitsuhiko said, "and the radio-controlled boat, maybe..."

"However, it is very unfortunate that these few days happen to be a continuous vacation time, and most of the searchers have gone on vacation. Shaking the calculator in his hand, the Dusk Police Department said, "By the way, I'll do it, let's investigate this calculator first." Well, that's it. Okay, I'll go first, say hello to Maori for me. With that, he took the calculator and left.

"Looking at the look on this old policeman's face, he doesn't believe us at all. Yuan Tai, the head of the Junior Detective Corps, said, "Okay, you all have written down that number, you have to think about it when you go back, we must crack it out first." ”……

Māori Detective Agency.

After leaving a small fish for Conan, the three detectives went home.

Lan took out the old fish tank and raised Conan's small fish. Looking at the fish tank on the tea table, there were no finger-long and finger-thick small fish, Yamazaki, who was sitting on the sofa, asked with a smile, "You guys eat this at noon, it's really ......"

"Ah," Conan immediately cried out, "Sister Lan, is there anything to eat, I'm dying of hunger." ”

"I'm sorry," said Lan, who looked at the fish, "I haven't done it yet." ”

"Not full?" said Yamazaki with a smile, "It seems that the level of fishing is not enough." ”

"What," Conan said helplessly, "I felt cruel to eat, and I was released." ”

Maori, Yamazaki, and Ran laughed together, and then Ran proposed, "Why don't you have a cup of noodles first." ”

"All right," said Conan, "by the way, take a look at this and find something." Then he wrote down the number in a notebook, and then told me about the afternoon.

"I don't understand. Looking at it, Yamazaki said, "I'm not very good at solving this kind of mystery. ”

Sitting next to him, reading a magazine and drinking a beer, Maori complained, "What a dream and romantic trip on the Heisei Express is just some old photos." Then he took the notebook and said, "Here, I'll take a look." ”

Boiling water, Lan asked, "How's it going, Dad?"

"This kind of number, how can it be a signal, maybe it's just something that someone else forgot to take. Throwing the notebook on the tea table, Maori said, "Really, you even found the Twilight Police Department during the vacation." ”

Lan immediately complained, "Daddy!" and continued, "By the way, it is possible that this assumption is true, the man was forced to do sniper practice, so he secretly left the calculator signal for Conan." ”

Conan asked, "Could it be the place or date of the assassination?"

"Maybe it's the name of the other party, or it alludes to the place where he's being held. Lan smiled, "By the way, people often use the pager to call the code, like a homonym." ”

"So," said Maori with a smile, "the first seven numbers are 'Property and Mr. May Day.'" ”

"How could it be. Lan retorted, and then said, "By the way, the last three epilogues may be the room numbers of the hotel or building." If not, the road, well, let's say, maybe the national highway line. ”

"So, what was before that?" asked Maori.

"I'm sure those numbers must have been disguised," Lan said, "in case the bad guys found the computer." ”

"In that case, the shape of the river is the shape of the road," Mori said, touching his chin, "and the flow of water means the flow of traffic." ”

Remembering the anti-'S' shaped river channel, Conan found the prefectural road in Saitama with the same shape and the same number compared to the map of National Route 162.

Lan looked at it and smiled: "Conan has been found, Dad will ask you tomorrow." Then he said, "Alright, Conan can eat." ”……

The next day, Saitama Prefecture.

Driving a seven-seater car, Mori carried Yamazaki, Conan, Ran, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Motota to the area on the map found yesterday.

"I'll just say, please. Maori complained, "Really, why should I go out of my way to rent a car and drive for you?"

"Because we don't even have a driver's license. Lan laughed.

"Well, that uncle, you're a detective, aren't you?" asked Yuantai, "why don't you even have a car?"

"I don't have the money to buy a car. Ayumi said.

"And I don't usually seem to drive. Mitsuhiko said, "I think it's safer to fasten your seat belt." Then he took the lead in fastening his seat belts, and Motota and Ayumi immediately fastened them as well.

"Hey, hey, you little ghosts," Maori said after a moment's moment, "I'll tell you ......"

"You can't look to the side while driving. Lan said as he reached out and pushed Maori's head to make him look ahead.

"It's good to rent a car, as a detective, renting a car is so worry-free. Yamazaki explained with a smile, "You must know that detective is not a safe profession, this car bumps and bumps, it is common, if it is your own, how troublesome, and more importantly, heartache." And the rented car doesn't have these troubles. ”

"yes, that's it," Maori laughed at once, "that's right." ”

Motota asked, "Really?"

Mitsuhiko said, "It seems to make some sense. ”

"I guess," Ayumi said, "I watch the detectives' cars on TV and get bruised. ”

Looking out the window, Conan shouted, "Stop, stop, let's take a look here." ”……
