Stay away from Conan.

Chapter 1008 Unlock in advance
Holding the magazine "Literary Times" that he just bought in his hand, Gao Yuan pointed to the title of the novel titled "A Vertex of One-Half", and asked the new name Xiangboli.

In this regard, in the face of Gao Yuan's sudden inquiry, the corners of Xinming Xiangbaoli's eyes were still filled with tears, and he couldn't help being stunned for a moment, then nodded, and replied:
"Yes."

Then after thinking about it, Xinming Xiangbaoli explained the manuscript situation of this novel:

"As for the original manuscript of the novel, I also went to the publishing house to inquire. Because the other party deliberately concealed the sender's phone number and other information, I don't know where it was faxed from. My father's autograph, so I can confirm that it is my father's handwritten manuscript..."

In this way, just when the new name Xiang Baoli was very worried and wanted to tell all the clues he could explain, he saw that Gao Yuan didn't pay much attention to listening to her narration.

I saw that Gao Yuan at this moment was just a book, and he quickly flipped through the newly bought books he just bought. Those books started two months ago and now, all the new works of the "Detective Zuowen" series "One-half" All of the several copies of the "Apex" magazine that have been released.

However, Gao Yuan's scrolling speed is obviously not reading, but looking for something very targeted.

In this regard, Xinming Xiangbaoli who was sitting opposite Gao Yuan was very puzzled, and did not understand Gao Yuan's intention.

However, after a while, when Gao Yuan finished flipping through the last one, Gao Yuan suddenly closed all the magazines, nodded slightly, as if he had confirmed something, and then replied to the new name Xiangbaoli:
"Okay, then now, let's go meet your father!"

"Hey?"

Immediately, hearing Gao Yuan's words, Xinming Xiangbaoli was very surprised. It seemed that he hadn't realized the meaning of Gao Yuan's words just now.
"What! Mr. Wise, do you know where my father is?"

"Yes."

Nodding his head affirmatively, Gao Yuan replied affirmatively, then, with a slightly helpless expression, he closed his eyes slightly, and said with emotion:
"Hope, I can catch up..."

……

At the same time, in the publishing house called University Pavilion, which is the editorial department of the magazine "Literary Times", Conan, Mori Kogoro, Xiaolan, and Police Officer Megure are looking at the editorial department seriously at the moment. In the office of the staff, the staff members felt dazed that the police and detectives would arrive——

"Officer, what's going on..."

Facing the police and the famous detective Mori Kogoro who arrived at this moment, the editor-in-chief of the editorial department asked in deep doubt.

"About the novel titled "The Peak of One-Half" serialized in your magazine by Mr. Shinna Rentaro two months ago, didn't the opening sentence say, 'Admonish detectives from all over the country! I think my mind is above me. Those who want to find out the truth of this incident!'. And my detective Mori Kogoro has already solved the truth, that is--about the distress signal of Mr. Shinna Rentaro!"

It seemed a little serious, Mori Kogoro said so.

But regarding this, Xiaolan on the side couldn't help muttering:
"Obviously it was Conan who discovered the doubt first when he was reading the novel..."

"What? A distress signal?"

Surprised, the editor-in-chief couldn't help asking.

"Yes. Regarding the latest whereabouts of Mr. Xinming Ren Taro, does your publishing house know?"

On the other hand, Police Officer Mu Mu couldn't help asking seriously at this moment because he had already learned of the distress signal hidden in the novel.

"If you say that..."

In this regard, the editor-in-chief seemed to have thought of something when he heard the question from Police Officer Megure, and he couldn't help saying nervously:

"I heard from Teacher Xinming's daughter that she has indeed been unable to contact Teacher Xinming for the past two months, but the weekly updated manuscript was sent to us by fax on time..."

Just as he was talking, the phone in the office rang suddenly, so another staff member of the editorial department who was present answered the phone.

Then, just as Police Officer Mugure and others were planning to talk with the editor-in-chief about the "unable to contact me", the staff member who answered the phone suddenly said in surprise:

"Police officer! A young man with a Kansai accent, he also said that he solved the distress signal in the teacher's novel! Let us hurry up and call the police to save the teacher..."

"A young man with a Kansai accent?"

Immediately, upon hearing this description, Conan and the others present were startled. Immediately, in the editorial office, everyone began to discuss the undeciphered codes in the novel "A Verse of Half". serious thinking...

……

"The key to the problem lies in the declaration at the beginning of the novel. It seems that your father is provoking readers and wants readers to solve the truth of the case in the story, but in fact, what your father wants readers to solve is another problem, and The key to this problem lies in the title of this novel, which is the so-called 'half of the top'."

At this moment, on the other side, Gao Yuan and Shinna Kabori, who had already arrived at the Cupido City Hotel, Gao Yuan calmly began to explain the situation——

"In this work, there is a character based on your father himself, and if you look at the dialogue of this character, treat each character at the top of the dialogue as half of a complete character, that is, take two characters If you look at it as a single word, then the dialogue that appears for the first time can be interpreted as 'Hurry up and save me'!"

Immediately, upon hearing this, Xinming Xiangbaoli seemed extremely nervous, but Gao Yuan continued calmly:
"Of course, this is just the first code, so it's very easy to interpret... Although it looks like a code word for a distress signal at first glance, it will make people who interpret it very worried, thinking that your father is in danger. However, If your father is really in danger, then he doesn't need to release the following codes little by little through the weekly update. He can publish all the distress signals in the earliest manuscript, so that He can also be the first to let the person who deciphers the code come to him.

"However, he didn't do this. Even in the chapter that was released a few weeks later, the difficulty of deciphering the code was upgraded. This is obviously a problem... Rather than saying that this is a distress signal, it is better to think that this is your A real challenge from the father to the reader..."

Listening to Gao Yuan's further explanation, Xinming Xiangbaori felt even more at a loss, followed Gao Yuan's footsteps, and asked further:

"Then... what the hell is going on..."

"For specific questions, you should ask your parents directly..."

But Gao Yuan didn't say it directly, just said so, and brought the new name Xiangbaoli to the door of suite 2407 of the Kuwano City Hotel, sighed slightly, and knocked on the door——

"Mr. Xinming, I already solved the answer before you gave it!"

Originally, Gao Yuan looked a little sad, but after the door was opened by the people inside, he deliberately made a complacent expression, and deliberately said to the people in the room...
