Chapter 103: I'm not actually a kidnapper
As soon as the phone was renewed, he received this commission, and Shiraishi didn't have time to buy a new phone before he could - of course, even if he was given time, he would probably choose to wait.
In short, in order to inform the new name Kahori, Shiraishi, who does not have a mobile phone, can only find a phone booth on the street.
After asking her to go to the Kakudo City Hotel as soon as possible, Shiraishi put the earpiece and glanced at Conan, who was waiting next to him.
This kid is actually useless, he kind of wants to send people home now, but looking at Conan's energetic appearance, it will definitely take a lot of effort to fool him away, and the two are ...... Forget it, just follow it if you want.
This phone booth is not covered all around, and Conan can hear Shiraishi's words without eavesdropping.
Judging from the content of the conversation, he guessed that Shiraishi had called the client. I thought he should call the police next, but after Shiraishi hung up the phone, he walked out of the phone booth directly.
"Don't call the police?" Conan was puzzled at first, but as soon as the words came out, he suddenly thought of the man in black who had left before, and asked, "The black cat has already arrived at that hotel?" …… You already guessed the location? Then why did he ask me to help solve the puzzle? ”
That's a lot of questions......
Fortunately, Baishi's ability to make up nonsense is not weak, he shook his head, and was modest:
"Reasoning and puzzle solving weren't my areas of expertise, and I hadn't been able to solve the code at the time. Thinking that Mr. Shina is in the hotel is just the result of my analysis and speculation from other aspects. ”
While he took someone to the street to find a taxi, the fare of the new name Kaori will be reimbursed, he briefly talked about the information provided by the new lady when she was entrusted, and then grasped the beginning and the end, and made up the middle:
"Although I took her commission, I agreed with the other detectives - it didn't quite look like a kidnapping. The kidnappers' motives and codes of conduct are so strange that they are very contradictory from any point of view.
"Considering that many well-known writers have some quirks, and adding the psychological factor of Mr. New Name to the premise, I finally came to a feasible conclusion that it is possible that he kidnapped himself and left those codes in the text in order to test his daughter or challenge the detectives of the whole country."
“…… I see! Conan's eyes lit up as he listened.
When he read the code, he found that in order to hide the information, some of the words in the book were used very stiffly, even like clerical errors.
Since the kidnapper is a reasoner, allowing Shinna Rentaro to send a message with text to the outside world is a dangerous act in itself.
Even if the murderer did this for some unavoidable reason, he would definitely check the manuscript before sending it out, so it is not logical that the new name Rentaro's code was conveyed completely and flawlessly.
Before he could start solving the mystery, he figured out so many details from other seemingly unrelated things, and even guessed that the new name Rentaro was in the hotel...... It deserves to be him.
After graduating, why don't you also study criminal psychology? Conan began to think about his future life plan.
It's not close to the City Hotel.
Shiraishi found the taxi stop, and when the door popped open, he turned his head to look at it with a feeling, and found that on the side of the road dozens of meters away, there were two people pressing their pace, pretending to be inadvertently walking towards this side.
It was a middle-aged man with sharp eyes, and a ...... Edogawa Bundai.
Shiraishi once looked at her through the glass of the café, but at that time, he happened to be wearing a mask because of the kitchen exhaust caused by Butterfly Shinobi, and he didn't know if Yukiko Kudo would recognize him.
Shiraishi smiled and nodded at them, which could be seen as a friendly greeting between passers-by who had met him, or as a smile of success after kidnapping someone else's son.
It's not good to keep the taxi waiting for a long time, and when Conan got in the car, Shiraishi pushed him on the shoulder, and he followed the car, and the taxi drove away quickly.
……
"It's too much, it's too much! My new ......" The moment Shiraishi reached out and touched Conan just now, Yukiko Kudo's nails dug deep into the sleeves of her husband's trench coat.
Kudo Yusaku's face remained unchanged, and he sighed in pain:
“…… Don't worry, the situation shouldn't be serious enough yet. The members of the Black Order probably didn't know that Shinichi had become smaller, and even if they were unfortunate enough to know about it, they wouldn't kidnap people in taxis.
"And don't you think your son's reaction is too calm. He actually followed the car so honestly, and always felt that things might be different from what we just thought. ”
"Maybe that guy has a gun hidden in his sleeve, and it's pointed at Shinichi's back, so Shinichi has become honest! And it was you who made me pay attention to the equipment that the doctor gave him, and I deliberately robbed him when he didn't bring anything, and he is just an ordinary kid now! ”
No matter how Kudo Yukiko thinks, he can't think about it: "It's all your bad idea, hurry up and find a way!" ”
"Okay, good ......" It's me who won't let me bring props, but you made the proposal to kidnap your son, Kudo Yusaku secretly thought about it in his heart, and finally didn't dare to say it.
After the two of them muttered, Dr. Asa ran out of the alley leading to the Internet café with the disguise props he had just taken off: "You wait for me!" It's too inconvenient for me to move...... Well? What's wrong? The atmosphere is so quirky. ”
“……”
……
The new name Kaori is obviously an exemplary client, and he is meticulous in his requests for Shiraishi and complies with all of them.
In addition to carrying her mobile phone with her, she was also ready to go at any time, so when she received the call, she quickly rushed to the place and was standing on the side of the street anxiously waiting.
Shiraishi got out of the car and waved at her, then pointed to the tall building in front of him: "Your father should be here, let's go up and have a look." ”
"Okay, thank you!" The new name Kahori raised his hand and pressed the corner of his eye, cleaning up his expression.
She didn't expect the results to come out so quickly, and while she was excited, she inevitably wondered in her heart, her father ...... Is it really locked up in a hotel?
In her opinion, hotels are not very good places for Tibetans, and for the kidnappers, it will add a lot of unnecessary expenses, and it is easy for the waiters to clean the room or deliver food.
But since you have entrusted Shiraishi, you should trust him first anyway...... While waiting for the elevator, Shina Kahori bowed her head and prayed silently with her hands together.
Before entering the elevator, Shiraishi was worried that this was the kind of elevator that could only be used after swiping the room card, and if so, then he would have to go out and open a room on the same floor.
However, perhaps technology has not yet developed to that stage, or perhaps it is another feature of the detective world, after entering the elevator and pressing the floor, the elevator quickly begins to go up.
Conan looked at the changing numbers, came back to his senses from Shiraishi's "reasoning", and suddenly felt a little reckless like this.
He glanced at the new name Kao-Hori, who obviously had no combat power, and then looked at the ordinary cotton slippers under his feet, and asked Shiraishi in a low voice: "Is it really okay?" At the very least, you should call a few security guards to follow. ”
You only asked when you got on the elevator...... Shiraishi glanced at the number at the top of the elevator, and explained casually with a pleasant face: "This hotel is the third target I have chosen to explore, Black ......."
When mentioning his waistcoat, Shiraishi hesitated between "black tie" and "black cat", but found that he couldn't pronounce either.
Originally, he thought that the black tie was okay, but after the mask was attached to the function of turning into a black cat, every time he mentioned the black tie again, a Q version of the tie that was walking on the street with short legs would come to Shiraishi's mind, which was very dramatic.
At this time, children only do multiple-choice questions, and mature adults skip them directly.
So after a slight pause, Shiraishi naturally continued: "He has already come to see it, and there is a mark he left at the door just now, there is no problem here." ”
"Oh......" Conan was also a little relieved.
If you don't look at the personality, but only look at the practicality of saving people, Shiraishi and the black cat are quite reliable, but he noticed Shiraishi's momentary pause just now.
This kind of change of personal pronouns in the middle of the process shows that "black x" is Shiraishi's common name for black cats, but after habitually saying it just now, Shiraishi realized that the name was not suitable for others to hear, so he changed his words again.
It can be seen that "black x" definitely does not refer to a black cat - because the black cat himself did not shy away from this title, and even took the initiative to tell it to former passers-by.
The conclusion is...... Black cats also have "black" in their names?
Conan silently jotted down this important piece of information, thinking that he could let the doctor follow the clue and look it up again. The purpose of this investigation is different from the previous ones, not to suspect that the other party has violated the law and committed crimes, but simply to be curious about the unknown.
In the midst of Conan's rapid brain supplement, and the silent prayers of the new name Kahori, the elevator stopped on the 24th floor.
Before the door was fully opened, the new name Kaori had already run out quickly, and she pounced on room 2407 that Shiraishi had told her and knocked it.
The wait for the door to open couldn't be longer.
Shina Kahori held the wooden door with both hands, so nervous that she could only feel her own heartbeat, and after an unknown amount of time, she finally heard the door lock click.
The door slid open, and a white-haired woman saw her through the crack in the door and was surprised: "Xiang Baoli? ”
“…… Mother! Seeing the living mother, Shina Kahori's hanging heart finally fell to the ground.
She lunged over to hug the man who had been "missing" for two months, but she was so excited that she almost hit the door frame in her mother's face as she lunged forward.
Shiraishi reached out and grabbed the door frame.
He was taller than the new mother and daughter, and when he looked over their heads and looked into the room, Shiraishi saw a slightly chubby old man lying on the clean bed.
The man was slow and looked weak, but still conscious. He was trying to turn his head in the direction of the voice of the new Kahori.
He first made eye contact with Shiraishi, and then quickly glanced over to his daughter, the reader he had been looking forward to "seeing through his delicate designs."
The moment the cloudy eyeballs reflected the figure of the new name Kahori, Shiraishi saw the corners of his wrinkled lips hooked, and smiled unconsciously.
The light screen popped out quietly, and it shook in front of Shiraishi's eyes.
Shiraishi lowered his eyes and looked at the taskbar, and saw that the scrolling countdown bar had stopped, and there were three more words next to the task title, "Completed".
……
"It's really self-directed and self-acting...... two light bulbs haven't been pestle at the door of someone's room for too long, after hearing the truth from the new wife,
