"S and W also mean direction, so is this code for us to go from the south to the west?"

Ten years ago, next to the flagpole on the roof of the expatriate office of the Mihua District Office, Shinichi and Xiaolan faced the last code they got, which was very simple, Xiaolan understood it like this.

"That being said, where are we going?"

Dr. Asasa who led them all the way faced such a situation, and also thought that the analysis of "from south to west" should be correct, but the conditions given by this code were too few, and more clues could not be analyzed at all.

In this regard, Shinichi couldn't help racking his brains in the face of this code, thinking that since there was no clue to the specific location, did it simply mean to look from the south to the west?

In that case, it's over there......

Thinking like this, Shinichi looked to the west, and then what he saw was the sunset that had moved to the western horizon at this time and was about to disappear, and the sunset stained the sunset red.

"Wow! It's so beautiful! ”

And looking at the sunset on the horizon, in the face of such a scene, Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh with such emotion.

"It's beautiful."

In this regard, Dr. Asa also seems to be infected by today's sunset.

In this regard, he was infected by the atmosphere at the moment, Shinichi also looked at the scenery in front of him in a daze, listening to the sighs of the two people around him, and suddenly, Shinichi showed a confident smile and said:

"I see, that's what happened!"

"Huh?"

Suddenly, as soon as Shinichi said this, Xiaolan and Dr. Asa were stunned, and they didn't understand what Shinichi meant by saying this.

In this regard, Shinichi confidently explained:

"I see! Who is the author of this code? ”

"Yes, who is it?"

Hearing this, Dr. Asa looked surprised, obviously the entire decryption process was with Shinichi and them, why couldn't he think of it at all.

But Shinichi said with great confidence at the moment:

"It's my dad! It must have been one of his friends that Dad had asked to give me this code to guide us here to see the sunset......

"Reason......

"Probably because I've been staying at home lately and burying my head in reading, so I want to go out for a walk......

"However, the man you met who gave you the code was only met when you went to school at night after you heard about the rumors of youkai, didn't you?"

Dr. Asa still felt a little strange about this.

"The garden said she was told by an uncle who was delivering new books from the library."

At this time, Xiaolan had a further explanation of the cause of this incident.

As a result, after hearing this, Shinichi's expression was more determined and said:

"Probably that uncle is the man at school at night!"

Hearing this, Dr. Asa finally nodded and had to admit:

"So that's the case, as long as you tell Xiaolan's friends about this, one day it will reach your ears, and then Shinichi, who likes mysterious events, will definitely go to the school to check it out, so that it will naturally happen."

"That's right."

Xinyi nodded, leaned on the railing and said helplessly:

"In other words, we were all played around by Dad!"

"But that's good, isn't it?"

Xiaolan was very happy about this result and said:

"You can see such a beautiful sunset like this."

"yes...... Although I was a little unwilling, I thought so too, Xiaolan ......"

Speaking of this, Shinichi's face was slightly embarrassed, and then he realized something, and hurriedly explained:

"Ahh Sorry, Maori ......"

Because he had never directly called "Xiaolan" before, Shinichi looked very embarrassed.

"Just call Xiaolan!"

However, hearing Shinichi call herself so, Xiaolan had a slightly embarrassed expression on her face, but she still said seriously:

"Just call me Xiaolan!

"No...... Isn't it possible? ”

Speaking of the end, Xiaolan asked about the new one with some trepidation.

Seeing this, looking at Xiaolan's expression, Shinichi hurriedly turned his head embarrassedly, no longer looking at Xiaolan, but staring at the sunset in the distance, pretending to be calm, and said:

"You...... You say yes, that's it...... I—I don't have a problem. ”

In a nervous tone, Shinichi looked at the sunset on the horizon and blushed.

"Really? That's great! ”

At this point, hearing Shinichi say this, Xiaolan seemed to be very happy, so she stepped forward and hugged Shinichi's shoulder and laughed.

In this regard, in the face of Xiaolan's enthusiasm, Shinichi was at a loss-

"Shinichi, why are you so red?"

"No, it's the sunset!"

At this time, Dr. Asasa, who was watching this scene from behind, also showed a relieved smile as he listened to their conversation......

……

"Wow! It's so romantic! ”

Listening to this whole story, Ayumi said with complete envy.

"Haha, 'it's the relationship of the sunset'......"

At the same time, after hearing these words, Yuan Zi slapped his legs even more happily:

"I can't imagine that Shinichi guy would be ashamed to say such things!

"So, from that day on, your relationship has gone further."

Saying this, Yuan Zi looked at Xiaolan with a relieved expression in his eyes.

In this regard, hearing what the garden said, Xiaolan couldn't help but smile a little nostalgically, and then slowly talked about the origin of the paper that the children found in the library of Didan Elementary School today-

"Because of this, Shinichi and I are very grateful to the uncle who gave us the code, so we wrote down our thoughts and put them in the wallet he gave us, and then put them behind the book 'Gentleman of Strange Thieves' that he read earlier.

"I just didn't expect that after so many years, this wallet is still in the library......"

Very emotional, Xiaolan said.

"It's a great story!"

Mitsuhiko also said with envy, and looked at Ayumi slightly, and then seemed to feel inexplicably regretful because Xiao Ai didn't follow.

"But ......"

But in this regard, Yuan Tai is puzzled:

"Where I found my wallet, I put another book......

"It's probably because the placement of books has changed over the past decade."

Mr. Kobayashi explained this, and then said with a little regret:

"But it's a pity that the other party doesn't seem to come to get this wallet again. And...... How can I say it, the person who came up with this code seems to have exhausted Jiang Lang. ”

Mr. Kobayashi, who cares about this story very much because of the code, finally feels this way about the truth of this story.

"Huh? Why? ”

In this regard, Xiaolan, who was still nostalgic because of looking back on the past, couldn't help but ask a little puzzled when she heard Mr. Xiaolin's evaluation.

"Because...... The middle cipher is very interesting, although the penultimate cipher doesn't know the mystery, but in terms of the answer, presumably that cipher is also very complicated. But in the end, the code was just a letter for direction and an arrow to illustrate looking west, which was too simplistic.

"Besides, if you just look to the west, it's enough to use a 'W', and you don't need to write an 'S', right?"

In this way, Mr. Kobayashi said his opinion-

"Still, it was good for the kids at that time. I want to think about it...... Would you like to hold an event like this in the class? ”
