Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 189 Giants Can Get Tired...

Qin Zhibo invited everyone into the office.

Although it was just one block away, this was the first time the Maoli family entered Qin Zhibo's detective agency.

Standing in the office, Conan looked around the layout of Zhibo Detective Office curiously.

Overall very concise, even a little concise.

There are no comfortable reception sofas, long coffee tables and water dispensers in the office, but a chair opposite to the boss's chair in the desk.

Coupled with a personal computer on the desk, the atmosphere of this detective agency is less like a business place, and more like an office within a public system.

Qin Zhibo invited Xinming Xiangbaoli to the only chair for guests, and smiled politely: "Please describe the specific circumstances of your father's disappearance."

"Okay, my father is"

Under the narration of Xinming Xiangbaoli, Qin Zhibo gradually understood everything.

The beauty in front of me is the daughter of mystery novelist Xinming Ren Taro. Her parents disappeared two months ago, so...
"Wait a minute, are you saying that two months before your father disappeared, your father sent you to deliver a letter to me?"

"Yes." Shinna Kabori nodded.

"Is there no signature on that letter?" Qin Zhibo asked again.

"Yes." Xinming Xiangbaoli nodded again, "My father said that it is enough to just hand this letter to you, and there is no need to tell you who wrote it to you, you will understand naturally."

"But you were not in the office at the time, so I put the letter in the mailbox."

Qin Zhibo thought about it for a while. After solving the case of the bandage monster, he did receive an unsigned letter in the mailbox when he came back.

And from the description of the owner of the women's clothing store, the person delivering the letter is very similar to the new name Xiangboli in front of him.

But that TM happened a week ago!

Shinna Kabori's father, Shinna Rentaro, disappeared two months ago, and he sent his daughter to deliver this letter two months ago.

This timeline doesn't match anyway.
However, in view of his extremely chaotic sense of time, Qin Zhibo didn't dare to bite his words to death.

It would be great if the owner of the women's clothing store is here now, and she can come up to identify whether the woman who delivered the letter is Xinming Xiangbaoli.

It's a pity that the women's clothing store has long been closed, and the owner is not there.

"To be honest, the letter your father sent me has nothing to do with your father's disappearance, so I don't know where your father is now."

"But since Mr. Xinming will send manuscripts to the publishing house regularly, let's go to the publishing house to have a look first."

"If I remember correctly, today happens to be Saturday."

Thinking of the content displayed in the subtitles in the lower right corner of the morning news this morning, Qin Zhibo said so.

Qin Zhibo, Mao Li's family and the new name Xiang Baoli came to the publishing house.

The chubby responsible editor received the crowd, and insisted that the manuscripts sent regularly every week were indeed written by Ren Taro.

"Although they are all written by a typewriter, the font and grammar are exactly the same as those used by the teacher in the past."

"The same goes for the teacher's autograph next to the title of each chapter."

"If you don't believe me, I can show you the original manuscript."

The editor left for a while and brought back the manuscript.

When the manuscript was still in the hands of the editor, Qin Zhibo saw the light white light emanating from it.

That is the light belonging to the investigation point!

On Mori Kogoro's side, after confirming with Xinna Kabori that the handwriting of his autograph was his father's, he began to ask the editor man about any other unusual things.

"Hmm," the editor man raised his head while holding his chin and said, "If it's unusual, it should be the re-serialization of the Detective Zuowen series."

"In fact, we asked the teacher to continue writing this series of stories as early as four years ago, but the teacher thought that Zuo Wenwen was dead if he died, and it was impossible to bring him back to life."

"But two months ago, Teacher Xinming suddenly called again, saying that he hoped to continue writing Zuowenzi's story."

"Of course, we can't wait for it, so the stories of the Zuowen series will start to be published soon."

Mori Kogoro nodded, and said in a deep voice, "I see, what else?"

The editor man continued: "Also, the teacher specially requested to add such a paragraph in the first chapter of the new work."

"Attention all famous detectives across the country, if you think your intelligence is above mine, you can try to solve the mystery of this incident!"

The editor man had just uttered this imposing declaration, when Qin Zhibo, who was holding the manuscript in his hand and silently next to him, suddenly spoke.

"Please save me quickly. My new name is Ren Taro."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"What's going on! What are you talking about?"

Mori Kogoro stared at Qin Zhibo in surprise, while Qin Zhibo showed the manuscript of Chapter 1 in front of everyone.

"The title of this new work is called the vertex of one-half. In fact, this is not only the title, but also the law of deciphering the entire code."

"As long as you follow this decryption rule and combine the words at the top of this sentence in pairs, you can get a sentence with a complete meaning."

After Qin Zhibo finished his interpretation, he picked up the second manuscript and began to investigate, while Mori Kogoro picked up the first manuscript on the table for proofreading.

"Help け.て.ㄑ.レ."

"Please save me quickly!"

Kogoro Mori read the code on the first manuscript, and leaned on Qin Zhibo's right shoulder to read the code on the second manuscript.

And on Qin Zhibo's left shoulder, Conan is entrenched here.

Weng and his son-in-law detective team looked at the original manuscript of the second chapter, but the above meaning could not be explained based on the coded solution of the first chapter.

"Ha Xia. Er. Kou." Mori Kogoro scratched his hair violently, "What is this all about?"

Conan cast a disdainful glance at Mori Kogoro, who failed the open-book exam next to him.

The content of this code only appears in the dialogue of the French writer played by Shinna Rentaro himself in the book, not at the beginning of each chapter.

That is to say, the part with the real code is actually .
I, he, ke, I, He, today, and home.

Um?What does it mean?
Am I also getting it wrong?

Just when Conan also fell into self-doubt, Qin Zhibo spoke again.

"The correct solution to this part of the cipher is to remove the H from the cipher text to read the correct meaning according to the French H silence rule."

"That is, 自が今いるわわ——where I am currently"

As soon as the words were finished, Qin Zhibo glanced at Mori Kogoro, who was putting half of his body weight on his right shoulder, and Conan, who was putting his whole body weight on his left shoulder, and said lightly:

"Although Newton said that you can see farther by standing on the shoulders of giants, but"

"If you stand for a long time, the giant will get tired."
