122 Case9.Showdown outside the realm (15)

The moment the paper airplane landed at his feet, Conan didn't pay much attention.

This is really a commonplace entertainment activity, maybe it's just a naughty first grader, obsessed with the results of the handicraft class, flying his own works everywhere.

The same paper airplane, the other day the boy detective group also picked up one.

"Conan, do you want to come and see?" Mitsuhiko said, "Maybe it's a puzzle! ”

The paper airplanes in the hands of the three are blackened along the middle crease, and there are two right-angled triangles on each side. After a short while, their thinking had diverged from the puzzle game to the treasure map, and Conan put down his hand and glanced at it: "This is a signal tower." ”

The signal icon at the top of the phone is a vertical line and a triangle. Motota said disappointedly, "I thought I could find eel rice." ”

Conan's half-moon eyes.

"Also, just drawing a signal tower on a paper airplane doesn't really mean anything. I guess it's just that somebody folded a paper airplane and wanted to make it a little more beautiful, so they drew another pattern on it. ”

The Young Detective Group was eager to try the nth treasure hunt, so it ended in a failed career.

To end the memory, there are more important things to do today.

On the way back from camping, Kudo Shinichi received a call from Lan Yao on her mobile phone, and Conan jumped out of Dr. Asasa's Beetle car and chatted with her with a voice changer.

Time passed quietly unconsciously, until Xiaolan said strangely: "Why hasn't Conan come back yet." ”

Conan was suddenly startled, and almost even scared out of his original voice, He hurriedly straightened the bow voice changer, and asked along with Xiao Lanyao's words: "Is there anything wrong with that kid today?" ”

"Dr. Asasa took them to a picnic." Xiaolan said, "But Ayumi and they have already arrived home...... Odd. ”

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Conan's forehead.

"Conan, he's always had his own idea, wait a little longer, maybe he'll knock on the door later?"

He steadied Maorilan, and after hanging up the phone, he immediately stepped on a skateboard and rushed to the Maori detective agency.

The night was dark, there were almost no cars on the road, and on the opposite roadway, a dark blue sedan turned away.

The intersection in front of him jumped into a red light at this point, and no matter how anxious he was, he had to wait patiently in front of the sidewalk, Conan crossed the paper airplane, and after a while, stepped back on his skateboard and picked it up from the ground.

Flipping to the back, Conan let out a "huh".

He remembered very well that this paper airplane was exactly the same as the one that the young detective group picked up before, and it was originally painted on the back of the signal tower icon, but this time it became a dotted and line combination of Yao decorative patterns.

- It's going to be a bit of a decryption.

The red light turned green, Conan casually put the paper airplane into his pocket, and skateboarded all the way to the middle of the road, but he suddenly thought of something, and the whole person trembled like an electric shock, and suddenly turned around!

He suddenly realized.

The so-called dotted line is not a decorative symbol at all, but is written on paper in the code of the Amos. The same Yao pattern is repeated three times, connected together, which is the classic Yao distress signal:

SOS!

*

After a few days of observation, Black Feather Kaito has summed up the rules of the actions of the caretaker outside the door.

...

When he gets up at eight o'clock, he will make a cup of black tea first.

There will be a subtle difference between different types of tea leaves, and he can distinguish them from the smell of leaves wafting into the door cracks. Immediately after that, the man would pick up a newspaper and read it in the living room before returning to his room.

As for what he was doing in the room, two doors apart, Black Feather Kaito couldn't hear it clearly.

Then it's noon, and the man prepares lunch while throwing himself some compressed biscuits.

Strange yes, the man doesn't seem to want to appear in front of Black Feather Kaito.

He was locked up in a room with a balcony, the door would only open when he fell asleep, and the man would put the compressed biscuits and water he needed for the day, and then go about his own business. Kuroba Kaito tried to pretend to be asleep to secretly observe, but the man seemed to realize that he was disguised, and the door was not opened again until he was kidnapped.

The next day, Yao Sunshine woke up Black Feather Kuaidou, and at this time, the compressed biscuits on the side had been replaced with new ones.

At first, Kuroba Kaito was very cautious, and he didn't know if anything else would be added to the biscuits. The next day, the compressed biscuits became unopened, and the cost was that he had to use his teeth to open the package little by little, and to make sure that the food was safe, he drank the water with a dry mouth.

The only reason for the existence of the strange Yao Guardian is to restrain Black Feather Kaidou Yao's actions and lock him up in this small room.

Black Feather Kaito was a little puzzled.

Why?

But the caretaker didn't have anything to do, but he couldn't sit still and wait for death. There are two possibilities for the immediate situation; Either they want to kill themselves directly, so there is no need to have too much contact with the dead, or they want to use their Kidding Yao identity to achieve certain goals.

Whatever the reason, Black Feather Can't sit still.

There was a cupboard in the corner of the room, and the rope tied to him was just as far as he could reach. The outside of the cupboard was locked, but fortunately it was just the simplest lock, and it took a long time for Black Feather Kuaidou to gather his hair, rub a small rope with them, and secretly pick the lock. The result was a pleasing achievement, with a pile of old newspapers and a pen that was about to break out.

Kuroba Kaito moved the balcony door a little more. It took him two days to do this, and on the third day, the paper plane finally flew out of the window.

He was still wearing the uniform of the monster thief Kidd, which was the most troublesome part of the problem.

If he was an ordinary male high school student, Black Feather Kaidou, then he could have asked for help; Once he is taken away by the police in this appearance, he may be just out of prison and in prison.

- On the paper airplane, Black Feather Kaito wrote another set of passwords. This is the secret word that he and Terai Huangnosuke agreed on, and only he can understand it.

Terai Huangnosuke has always served as the housekeeper of the Black Feather family, and as early as when his father was still alive, Terai Huangnosuke has been the assistant of the strange thief Kid Yao.

He has been missing for so long, and Grandpa Terai will definitely not miss any clues.

As long as he can pick up any of the leaves in the paper plane, Black Feather Kaito can get out of danger.

The rest of the work is to release more paper airplanes and wait.

The moment he heard the door, Black Feather Kaito immediately put it away...

Asked for help with Yao's crime tools, closed his eyes and fell to the ground pretending to be asleep. He had already figured out the law of the caretaker's movements, and it stands to reason that the man had fallen asleep at this time. He'd never been out at night, so why was it so unusual today?

Black Feather Kaito quietly pricked up his ears and guessed based on the sound of tables and chairs colliding. The man closed the door with his backhand, but instead of washing as usual, he picked up something and walked straight to the door...... He's getting close to himself!

Black Feather Kuaito broke out in a cold sweat in an instant, and he didn't have time to confirm whether the old newspaper behind him was hidden, so he immediately closed his eyes even tighter.

A long time passed, but the door did not open, replaced by a faint hissing sound behind the door.

There's gas wafting in through the crack in the door!

It took a moment for Black Feather Kaito to come back to his senses when he smelled the peculiar smell, and then he knew where the hissing sound came from, and the high-density Yao compressed gas gushed out of the sealed can, and the mouth of the bottle emitted this sound. This kind of gas that needs to be sealed by special means often has a unique gushing out, such as nitrogen gas for freezing, white smoke is commonly used in magic methods, and for example, hypnotic gas!

It is useless for him to be on guard these days, if a man wants to attack him, he has no means to resist at all. Black Feather Kuaito choked on a mouthful of gas suddenly, and his brain immediately became dizzy, and he quickly held his breath.

There is an item of breath-holding in the training of the magician, and the maximum time can reach 20 minutes...... However, it was only twenty minutes, and after that time had passed, he would still be in a coma.

The oxygen in his lungs is getting less and less, and Black Feather Kaito uses his last will to resist the desire to breathe. His five senses were speeding away, far away, and he seemed to hear someone break down the door...... The balcony fire elevator was pulled open and lowered, followed by exclamations and shouts, but the noise was too far away, not like outside the balcony, but more like the upper floor.

Please, go down the fire ladder to the next floor, Black Feather Kuaidou shouted silently in the bottom of his heart, there is still a person trapped here, help!

At the critical juncture of life and death, he didn't care whether his identity would expose Yao's problem, but he tried his best to open his mouth to call for help, but he didn't even know if his vocal cords were vibrating.

At the other end of the white mist, the caretaker waited patiently outside the door, and he would make a cup of black tea in the morning, read the newspaper, and return to his room......

In his mind, there seemed to be a string in his mind that jumped violently.

He suddenly realized how familiar this law was...... But how is that possible?!

In the next second, the deep darkness covered the field of vision like a tide, and Black Feather Kuaidou fainted.

*

Conan ran up the stairs with only one thought in his mind: there was no time!

When he realizes that this is not a prank, but a difficult release of Yao's distress signal, the remaining Yao's puzzle is self-defeating.

The Junior Detective Corps picked up a total of two paper airplanes. The first one is a vertical line and a triangle, which represents the signal tower, but the upper right corner of the mobile phone is a signal sign, in addition to this symbol, there are four vertical lines arranged to indicate the signal strength.

There is only one signal tower, and the real meaning behind it is: no signal.

The second paper airplane has a black dot and two semicircles on it, and there are some strange creases on it. This is actually hinting at picking it up and changing the way it is folded, and finally it comes out in the shape of a squid, combined with the Japanese homophonic stalk to continue to associate it, in order to interpret the meaning of the paper airplane leaf is "in the rice flower".

Plus...

Conan picked up the one that was left, and the three of them were combined to form a distress signal:

"I'm trapped in Rice Flower Town, where there is no mobile phone signal, hurry up and save me!"

Conan gritted his teeth.

When did the Junior Detectives pick up the first paper airplane, a day, two days, three days or more? If a person can last up to three days in the case of dehydration, this person is likely to be dying!

The elevator of the Mihuata Building has a "Under Maintenance" seal on it, Conan takes a look at it, and goes straight to the stairs. He panted and stopped outside the 37th-floor apartment and raised his hand to ring the doorbell.

"Which one, please?"

"I'm sorry, I saw a strange figure on your balcony, please hurry up and call the police! *”

Without waiting for the owner to react, Conan quickly took off his shoes and entered the house, and slipped into the balcony.

According to the law, the balconies of high-rise buildings belong to public areas, and it is obliged to set up upper and lower floors to connect the fire ladders, so that in the event of a fire, residents can quickly escape through the fire ladders.

Conan lifted the escape ladder and went down to the floor below, where there were still a lot of paper airplanes scattered on the balcony, and a weak man leaned against the door.

"Can you give me warm water?"

The owner of the upstairs house behind him was already frightened, and when he heard Conan Yao's request, the six gods nodded ownerlessly.

Conan dipped his lips in a towel, and the unconscious man slowly woke up.

Locking the man's leaf is the 36th floor, Conan is down to this room through the 37th floor of the Yao's escape ladder, the dehydrated Yao helper gradually regained consciousness, and the first thing Yao said when he woke up was: "Wife...... Ransom...... Is it so? ”

The owner of the 37th floor of the house exclaimed: "Are you the president of the missing Yao Foreign Trade Company before?" ”

Reminded by her, Conan also recognized the identity of the rescuer.

His name is Ikuo Daida, the president of a well-known multinational foreign trade company, the news of the kidnapping of Yao made headlines some time ago, and Yuxiong Daida's wife paid the ransom, but the kidnappers did not release him.

Because of the broken capital chain and the disappearance of the president, the foreign trade company has gone bankrupt.

There was a sound of picking the lock outside the door, it was Conan who asked the owner of the house to call the police and confirm that President Yoda himself was safe, and Conan got up and went to the living room to open the door.

The moment he opened the door, Conan stopped, and the lady behind him let out a scream.

β€”β€”Under the hanging beam above the living room, a pair of lifeless feet were hung up, and the man who hung on them had lost his breath.

The kidnapper who kidnapped President Yoda has actually hanged himself in the living room!

Ikuo Shirota himself didn't know the news that the kidnapper had died, and he thought that the kidnapper was guarding the door, so he had to carefully release the paper airplane, which made the rescue delay until now.

If Conan had arrived a little further than an hour, he would have died of shock from dehydration.

In a panic and panic, Conan stepped forward alone and carefully examined the traces left on the body of the suicide kidnapper.

found nothing, and the kidnapper Yao really hanged himself.

…… Odd.

The police officers who rushed to Yao were two strange faces, and after coming back to their senses, they immediately raised their hands to drive the two away. Conan and the owner of the house go back to the 37th floor from the escape ladder, put on their shoes in the hallway, Conan bows and the owner of the house...

Other.

On the 36th floor, two police officers collected evidence at the scene, and President Yoyoda was carried on a stretcher.

Conan couldn't figure out why the kidnapper suddenly chose to commit suicide, since the police here didn't agree, he had another channel, Conan raised his hand and dialed the number of Yuyao Karazawa.

The bell rang for a while, and the other man hung up.

Conan: "? ”

He stared at the gray leaf hanging up the page for a few seconds, then tentatively dialed it again.

The phone simply didn't work, and Yuyao Karasawa had turned off his mobile phone.

What happened? After knowing each other for so long, this is the first time Conan can't get through to Yuyo Karazawa's phone.

Looking at the "End Call" status prompt, Conan fell into a deep dazed.

*

The number of Yao in the screen is very familiar, Tang Zeyu just went home on the first day, a little ghost without eyes called a phone call, Gin glanced at the gap between scooping the soup Yao, and since then he has firmly remembered this string of numbers.

When the phone rang again, he didn't hesitate to turn it off.

Tang Zeyu curled his head sideways in the passenger seat, sleeping soundly. At this time, the alcohol exerted its true power, and it went all the way to the brain along the blood circulation, burning Tang Zeyu's side face slightly red.

…… It's soft.

Sleeping on a pale man looks warm and crumbly, reminiscent of juicy red apples, or all the other things that only exist in fairy tales.

Karasawa Yuyo's plan does not include dealing with a troublesome imp in the middle of the night, and Gin Yao hung up the phone very comfortably.

He had driven the car steadily, but there were still slight bumps in the road, and the road was gradually coming to the end, falling asleep, and his center of gravity was getting more and more crooked.

Yuyao Karasawa hung his head lower and lower, and gradually slid to the side-

Gin made a timely move and held up his side face.

At this time, Tang Zeyu had not woken up yet, and when he felt the heat source of the supporting leaf, he unconsciously rubbed on it.

Gin's forearm tightened slightly, and he maintained this one-handed driving posture for a long time, until the intersection was approaching, and he gently straightened the person next to him.

*

Ambulances and police cars drove away from Mihuata Building one after another, waking up residents to see the flashing lights of the vehicles go away. Everything returned to silence, and Terai Konosuke came out of the shadows.

Waiting for Yao was enough for him to spy on Yao from the alley to confirm that the person who was carried into the car was not the young master.

The loyal old butler breathed a sigh of relief.

There are traces of glue at the elevator door, and it seems that some notice has just been torn off. When he walked into the white light and bright car, this half-hundred-haired old man showed that he was not suitable for his age, and he was vigorous and agile: the mercenary Yao's professional experience in the past was reflected in every detail of his body, with a gun hidden in the inner pocket of his chest, a folding knife tied to his wrist, and a bulletproof vest that was cut to cover his clothes tightly.

The young master has been trapped for a full week, and no matter what traps him, Terai Huangnosuke will never dare to take it lightly.

A tinkling sound sounded on the radio, and the 35th floor had arrived. Not far from the elevator entrance, a cleaner is quietly cleaning the floor.

I found that there were other people.,Introverted and fierce temperament immediately from Terai Huangnosuke Yao...

His eyes faded, and he turned into a trembling old man, and walked towards the depths of the apartment, but when he passed the cleaner, he whispered something in his ear.

The cleaner still hung his head, and said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear, "Long time no see." ”

The voice was so familiar that Terai Konosuke's eyes widened for a moment.

*

Conan didn't know who the other side hung up the phone was, just as he didn't know who it was who missed the person downstairs, but the update of the manga included the latter.

Spanning two pages, it not only depicts the 36th floor of Yao Conan rescuing the kidnapped President Yoda, but also clearly depicts the 35th floor of the room on the floor, the sleeping Yao monster thief Kidd.

[Hahahaha, I laughed so loudly! 】

[I'm lacking in virtue, I'll say it first, little detective, do you know, as long as you go down to the next level, you will fall off the horse with your heart and mind! ] 】

[Although Douzi was kidnapped and unconscious, theoretically I should be worried...... But why is this picture so enjoyable?]

[Maybe this is a coincidence (affectionate)]

[My direct pupils are shaken...... The official said before that he wanted to remake Magic Kaito, so it turned out that this was the pre-release of TV?! 】

[What's this, it is said that he still has to match Tang Zeyu, I rushed to the scene with a set of benches backhanded]

[In other words, if a platoon doesn't want to meet the Yao police, Tang Zeyu is definitely at the top, right? ] 】

[What's more, a ride belongs to the dust]

[I was tied up and had to face the enemy version of the super powerful Tang Zeyu, help, the fight was so miserable that I had to feel pity]

…… Tang Zeyu was suddenly awakened.

The memories faded like a tidal wave, and he didn't know what he had dreamed at night, except for a flustered upsurge of panic, and the remnants of the feeling still made people's hearts palpitate.

The sunlight outside the window is bright golden in summer, and the side bedroom is illuminated, and the air is filled with the aroma of familiar breakfast.

Tang Zeyu lay on the bed for a while, and before he could get up, there was a dinging sound in his ears.

He turned his head to look at the barrage.

Hiroshi Karasawa: "......"

At the time of your hangover, the comics are suddenly updated without reason......

It's a nightmare indeed.

TBC.
