Chapter 102: Sleep and Standby

Putting aside his bad parents for the time being, Conan really thought about Shiraishi's question, but he really couldn't think of any place where these two could use him.

As we all know, he is just a helpless child, and now he doesn't even have a piece of equipment. If he wants to do it with someone, it is already rare for him not to drag his feet.

If he wanted to collect the newspaper, Conan felt that Shiraishi was much better informed than he was—at least he didn't detect the potential murders, and Shiraishi and the black cat not only found out, but even had time to stop them.

In terms of mental work, in the case of Yoko Okino's house, Shiraishi fell asleep not long after he arrived at the scene, but in just a few minutes, he actually saw through the real murderer, which shows that his reasoning ability is not below him.

But now listening to the black cat's words, it seems that he wants him to help.

Could it be ......

followed Shiraishi to the box on the second floor of the Internet café, and after the man in black pushed the door open, Conan looked at it and muttered "sure enough" in his heart - Shiraishi was leaning back on the soft single chair with a neck pad, closing his eyes and sleeping peacefully.

He held a few pieces of paper in his hand, and the paper under his feet was even more messy and scattered all over the ground, and it looked like he didn't hold his hand steady after falling asleep.

Shiraishi walked in front and almost stepped on one, but he narrowly retracted his foot, staring at the mess, his eyebrows jumping.

Before leaving, he obviously stuffed the information into his hand safely, but he didn't expect that after only a few minutes of walking, the room would be chaotic like this.

The next time you give yourself a concave shape, you have to take into account the factor of moving after falling asleep...... Anyway, it would be nice if you could draw some props to control the body from a distance.,So one person can still be used for two.。

Conan looked at Shiraishi's back parked at the doorway, and silently took half a step back, a little worried that this bad-tempered old brother would take his anger out on himself.

But unexpectedly, after only standing at the door for two seconds, the black cat seemed to calm down, he walked into the box without saying a word, squatted down and picked up the copies on the ground one by one.

Conan was stunned, and touched his chin with some surprise, it seems that the black cat's temper is not as bad as he thought, he was attacked by him in the museum before, mainly because he delayed his time?

Guessing by guessing, Conan was embarrassed to stand next to him, he walked into the box and helped pick up some as well.

At the same time, he glanced at the materials and found that it was "Resurrection! Detective Left Text", some of which are also marked out in pencil.

What are you collecting these for?

Are there any cases of homicide in the film? Or was the manuscript used to imitate the crime? A series of conjectures quickly popped into Conan's mind.

Speaking of which, he hasn't read this book yet, and he originally wanted to save up until all the serializations are finished, and then read the single book directly...... Conan pinched the loose page, and was looking at it intently, when a hand suddenly reached out from the side and took the information in his hand.

Shiraishi walked to the side of the single chair again, pulled out a few pages of paper that he was holding, rearranged the manuscript, threw it to Conan together, and said succinctly: "The author of this book is missing, and his distress signal is hidden in the manuscript." ”

"Missing?!" Conan was shocked, he also watched the Detective Left Text series, and respected the author of this book, but he didn't expect to encounter this kind of case this time.

After speaking, he remembered a suspicion that he subconsciously ignored - he looked like he should only be a six-year-old elementary school student, and he couldn't do such a complicated thing as deciphering the code, why did the black cat think he could help?

Although these two people are too well-informed, although they often forget to disguise themselves as children...... But they shouldn't believe that adults are getting smaller...... bar.

Conan thought about it, and the sweat came down, and he was about to knock on the side to ask, but saw the man in black casually hang his top hat on the coat rack by the door, and pushed the door out.

He walked too simply, and when Conan came back to his senses and chased out, wanting to at least ask about the details of the case, he saw that there was no one in the hallway.

"Alas......" Conan sighed tiredly, and returned to the room with a pair of dead fish eyes.

…… At worst, Shiraishi and Black Cat can even find out that his parents are disguised as people in black, and it may not be as difficult as imagined to find out that he is Kudo Shinichi.

Although he didn't directly point out the parent-child relationship between the two and Conan when he exposed the Kudo couple just now, he always felt that it was ......

"Alas......" sighed again.

Being a neighbor with this kind of person, although the safety factor is high, the pressure is really great, and there is no secret at all...... After coming to this conclusion, Conan weakly supported his cheeks, held the information given to him by Shiraishi, moved a small stool and sat down, and began to try to analyze.

Since Shiraishi and the others are investigating this matter, this means that the case may be very dangerous, and any more delay may lead to the author's death.

While recalling the left text series he had seen before, he guessed what kind of clues his new name Rentaro was hiding inside.

Before immersing himself in solving the mystery, Conan also hesitated to call his parents to report his safety.

But first, he didn't have the money to make a pay phone, and second, he ...... Hehe, since you can make your son so miserable, it's okay to be played by your son in reverse.

Conan, who was busy, didn't notice that two or three meters away, the "sleeping" person opened his eyes and secretly glanced at him.

After discovering that he began to turn through the book to concentrate on solving the puzzle, and had no intention of escaping, Shiraishi closed his eyes again.

If he woke up now, wouldn't it be very out of place if Conan wanted to talk to him about the case and he couldn't say why.

It's tiring to run outside as a cat, and it's boring to lie down, so Shiraishi really took a nap.

After a while, he heard the crunch of a chair in the room, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Conan grasping the manuscript and standing up sharply.

The results?

Shiraishi yawned, sat up, looked at Conan standing next to him, and asked as if surprised, "Why are you here?" ”

"That's a long story, we'll talk about it later."

Conan himself took the initiative to skip the topic, he took the stack of manuscripts and showed them to Shiraishi, his face was not very good-looking, "We have to call the police as soon as possible, time is running out." ”

Although he knew that the new name Ren Taro had not been kidnapped, but the character was needed, Shiraishi also became serious.

Sure enough, after seeing his watch, without waiting for detailed questions, Conan quickly explained:

"The story of this unit is called "1/2 Sister", so the code is that the two words at the top are combined into one word...... You're sure to know that, so I won't go into it, but the key is the location of the new name—"

"In this sequel, Mr. Shina also wrote himself into the book, which has never happened before, and the 'Shinna Rentaro' in the text is located in France.

"This is actually a hint of linguistic conventions, the French word begins with the 'h' is not pronounced, so when interpreting ciphers, we also need to exclude words with 'h'."

Shiraishi nodded his head in a good way, sometimes thoughtfully, sometimes suddenly realized—this is the initial skill that any drama master should have.

Although he basically didn't know what Conan was talking about, fortunately, Conan was very conscious of the reasoning machine and spit out the answer directly.

"The first hidden code phrase was 'Hurry up and help me.'"

After speaking, Conan turned to the next chapter, spelling word by word: "Then ......'I'm currently at the Cuphu City Hotel'." ”

"'Room 2407.' ”

"Finally, and in the latest chapter." Conan pointed to the dialogue: "He's saying, 'Hurry up, there's no time'...... When was this chapter published? ”

"Yesterday, but it must have been sent to the publisher earlier." Shiraishi stood up as he spoke, and when he said that, the new name Rentaro was able to calculate the manuscript accurately, and the last chapter was just in time for his own inadequacy.

He glanced at the countdown on the screen with a few hours left, and got dressed: "Let's go, go over and have a look." ”
