The unscrupulous detective in Conan

Chapter 1177 Conan: ...? Did I get the wrong script?

"..."

Fujino was silent for a while after hearing this, then sighed and said, "More than a hundred people, do you think you are fighting terrorism?"

"Doesn't everyone have a gun?"

Shancuncao scratched his hair awkwardly: "After all, the other party is a criminal organization. I also want to prepare more manpower just in case."

'So you've never dealt with organized crime before?'

"Aren't you afraid that their guns might go off accidentally and you'll be held accountable by your superiors?"

"But there are only a hundred people, which is good enough to show off."

Fujino complained in his heart with dead eyes, and then said helplessly: "Do you know how big a battle it is with more than a hundred people?"

"With more than a hundred of you here, I'm afraid people will notice you before you even get to the mountain, and they might even surround the entire mountain."

"Don't even mention more than fifty. You can make dumplings for more than fifty people..."

"Okay, have those people hide, and be careful not to be discovered and alert the enemy..."

"clear."

…………

On the other side, Conan had already hurriedly run into the winter red leaf forest.

He ran to the big tree with a red handkerchief tied to it that Xiaolan had discovered earlier.

He turned on the light of his hypnotic watch and started digging under the tree.

As they were digging, they found something under a big tree.

It was a skull buried deep in the soil, with even the flesh and blood rotted away.

Conan's expression was serious at first, then he smiled evilly, and became excited: "In this case, we have to find a way to seduce that person..."

"Xiao Lan, she's not doing well. She has a poor sense of direction and is forgetful. She must have forgotten where this place is a long time ago."

"Fujino... that won't work either. If he finds out, who knows what bad idea he'll come up with to trick me!"

"As for Huiyuan, this little loli has a very sharp tongue and is not easy to fool."

"I don't know Miss Hongye very well either."

"Well, I decided it would be Yuanzi. He's easy to fool, stupid, and when he's unhappy he speaks loudly, so those people will definitely hear him!"

Conan thought about it in his head, decided on his plan, and determined the target to fool, then took out his phone.

On the other side, Xiaolan, who had been looking for Conan in the hotel for a while, received a call and asked anxiously: "Hey, Conan, where are you now?"

"I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Conan replied childishly: "I'm now thinking about what gifts to bring to Yuanta and the others... Don't worry too much, you guys go back to your room first!"

As he spoke, he seemed to remember something and said, "By the way, are the three people who checked into the hotel this morning still here?"

"Is he still with you?"

Xiaolan looked aside and said, "Well, they are still taking statements with the police, and they will be done soon."

"I see..." Conan touched his chin and said, "Sister Xiaolan, can you give your phone to Sister Sonoko?"

"For Sonoko? Okay..."

Xiaolan was a little confused, but still handed the phone to Sonoko.

Just as Sonoko picked up the phone, she heard Conan's voice coming from the other side: "Hey, Sonoko-sister, do you remember the location of the big tree with the handkerchief hanging on it that Xiaolan-sister mentioned before when we just entered the forest?"

Yuanzi had a good memory and answered immediately, "I remember it. It was that tree. It was probably near the winter red leaf forest in the last scene of the TV series, about ten minutes' walk away..."

"But it's really strange..." Conan continued, "Why would someone hang a red handkerchief there? That's stupid. Even you, Sonoko, know to hang the handkerchief near that scene."

"What, are you calling me stupid?!"

Yuanzi took a deep breath and said angrily, "I'm not stupid, okay? The red scarf must have been hung there by tourists. The tree in the TV series was next to a big rock, so there are so many handkerchiefs hung there. After all, if it weren't for that scene, it would be meaningless!"

"Someone hung it there... Someone must have thought there were too many handkerchiefs hanging there and it would be easy to make a mistake!"

"...?"

Sonoko's voice is very loud, especially when she is irritated by Conan, almost everyone at the scene can hear it.

Next to him, the fat old man among the people who heard Yuanzi's voice suddenly looked at Yuanzi beside him, narrowed his eyes for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth tilted slightly.

Fujino, who had just come back from having sex with Yamamura, saw the fat old man's expression and immediately knew that the old man was the real murderer.

When Xiaolan saw Fujino and Yamamura coming back, she looked a little worried and said, "Conan actually ran outside. Senior Fujino, should we go out and look for him?"

"No need to look for it."

Fujino glanced at the old man named Watanuki beside him calmly, "Conan knows his own limits and won't be in any danger outside. It's getting late now, let's go back to our rooms first."

As he said this, he winked at Xiaolan.

Xiaolan was confused when she saw this: Why is Senior Fujino winking at me?
Are you hinting at me something?

The point on Xiaolan's head shook as she looked puzzled.

Unable to figure out what the implication was, she thought about it for a while and didn't say anything more.

Walking in the corridor back to the room, Xiaolan looked around and saw that everyone around her was her own people. Finally, she couldn't help but ask the question in her heart: "Fujian Senior, what on earth did Conan go to do?"

Fujino thought for a moment and answered, "If I'm guessing correctly, Conan should know who the real murderer is."

"The real murderer?"

Xiaolan was confused when she heard this.

Sonoko was not surprised: "Well, with this kid's brain that's like a little devil, it's not surprising to find the murderer."

Xiaolan was even more confused after hearing this: "But who is he..."

"It's probably because of that list."

At this time, Huiyuan Ai suddenly spoke up, attracting everyone's attention with a calm tone: "The reason why Mr. Hotumi uses the Romanization as his name is probably because his name should be written as [August 1st]."

Yuanzi said at this time: "But [August 1st] is not pronounced as HOTUMI." Hongye shook her head at this time: "[August 1st] is pronounced as HOTUMI. It is a special pronunciation used only when it is used for a name or surname. The name comes from the fact that on August 1st, everyone would pick rice ears to offer to the gods..."

Huihara Ai nodded and agreed, "If it is written as August 1st, then people who see it will read it as the normal [HOZUMI]. If they don't know the pronunciation of [HOTUMI] for the surname in detail, they won't be able to read it. That's why he pronounces his name in Romanization to avoid the trouble of others being unable to resist."

"After all, they had been communicating over the phone before. If I wrote [August 1st] on the message, the other party would obviously admit his mistake."

As she spoke, she touched her chin and said, "Mr. August 1st was obviously very clear about this. Before he died, he pressed April 1st in his notebook with his bloody handprint..."

Hongye is extremely proficient in Japanese and Japanese culture. After a brief thought, she came up with the answer to April 1st: "April 1st has another way of reading it, which is KAWANUKI. Among the three people, only Watanuki has the same pronunciation as this one."

Xiaolan suddenly realized: "The murderer turned out to be Mr. Watanuki... But why did he kill Mr. August 1st?"

Huihara Ai then thought: "I think it must be about the letter he brought. He must have found what he was looking for with Watanuki, but Watanuki suddenly decided to kill him or silence him."

"Yeah, that's about it."

Fujino listened to Haibara Ai's reasoning and understood the principle of this code.

It turns out to be a word game of pronunciation and translation...

If this happens to be some little-known fact about Japanese pronunciation, shouldn't I just send it directly?
The code in the world of science remains the same as always.

Fujino secretly sighed in his heart at the absurdity of this code, and at the same time revealed an unfathomable expression as if to say, "I already knew this was the case, but I just didn't say it." Then he said:

"If I'm not mistaken, Conan must have gone there to wait for his prey. He called Sonoko just now, and he must have expected that Sonoko would speak loudly after being provoked, in order to attract the attention of old man Watanuki."

"Now that guy Watanuki must have gone to the place Conan mentioned."

Xiaolan was worried when she heard this: "But why did he..."

"Given the character of that brat, you can figure it out just by thinking about it, right?" Yuanzi, who realized that she was being used, was immediately annoyed and couldn't help but complain, "He must have wanted to be in the spotlight, so he did that."

"But this kid is really abominable. Otherwise, if he had told Senior Fujino, Senior Fujino would have been able to catch that guy in no time!"

Xiaolan was getting more and more worried: "Conan is in danger, what if he is..."

Having said that, she wanted to set off to rescue Conan.

Fujino immediately reached out to stop her: "That Watanuki is not a simple person. I just secretly looked at him. In addition to him, there are many other people who came with him. It is probably a criminal gang. If you rush over, you will definitely be in danger."

"You might be able to handle one or two people, but what about more than twenty?"

Hearing this, Xiaolan was suddenly stunned. She caught the meaning of "many people" and "danger" in Fujino's words, and her face turned pale.

Hongye, who was standing by, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment after hearing this, and felt that it was time for her to take action.

There are criminal gangs here, so shouldn’t they show off their strength?

But just as she was about to call someone, Fujino suddenly spoke:
"Don't worry too much about this matter. I have already prepared for it."

Fujino comforted everyone and took out a walkie-talkie from his pocket: "Caozi, Caozi, how are the people's preparations going? Do you know the movements of that group of people?"

Immediately, Shancuncao's voice came from the intercom: "Brother Teng, in addition to the old man surnamed Mianguan, there are dozens of other people going up the mountain together. The nearby police have already ambushed at the foot of the mountain. We are waiting for your order to go up the mountain together and catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"it is good."

Fujino nodded, picked up the intercom and said, "Pick out ten of those one hundred people to come to the hotel, in case any of their accomplices are staying in this hotel, surround the hotel, and protect the guests in the hotel."

"Let me tell you, there is the eldest daughter of the Suzuki family and the eldest daughter of a noble family in Kyoto in this hotel. If you let them get hurt, you will probably be transferred to a deserted island to guard it tomorrow because of your left foot!"

"In addition, we will disperse some people into teams of three, and divide them into ten teams to surround the mountain and try to prevent any of them from escaping. There should be dozens to a hundred people left. We will divide half of them and have them spread out to surround us from all sides to avoid leaving any gaps for them to escape. The remaining half will go up the mountain with us to capture people."

"understand!"

The sound of Shancun Cao is full of pride.

Unexpectedly, one day he would become the person who commanded the actions of more than a hundred police officers!
Although they are just patrol police, they are also armed police officers!

If grandma knew this, she would definitely be proud of me, right?
If only Xiao Jing could see me being so majestic...

Yamamura Cao felt a little regretful when he thought of his good friend who shared the same dream of becoming a policeman in childhood.

But think about it, he is a policeman now, so he must know what I did today, right?

Thinking of this, Shancuncao's enthusiasm was immediately boosted as he picked up the walkie-talkie.

…………

In the forest at night, Watanuki Tatsuzo walked on the mountain road with a flashlight, following the location he had just overheard from the garden, looking for the big tree with a red handkerchief tied to it.

Soon, he found the tree.

Just when he dug up the soil and saw the skull, a voice came from the tree: "This is your reunion after a long time, isn't it? Mr. Watanuki Tatsuzo, why do you look a little unhappy?"

As soon as Watanuki raised his head, he saw a little kid with a light on his watch sitting on a tree, mumbling a lot of incomprehensible words.

But as he listened, he also heard something wrong.

Did this kid discover my secret?

Watanukansan frowned, and a hint of murderous intent appeared in his eyes: "Damn little brat, who are you?"

"My name is Edogawa Conan, and I am a detective."

Conan, who had finally managed to show off, felt very comfortable. He smiled wickedly with a smug look on his face, flipped open his watch, and planned to use an anesthetic needle to shoot the fat old man and send him to jail.

But at this time, Watanuki was not panicked.

Although I don't understand why the little boy's watch cover can be opened, it doesn't matter.

He waved his hand, and a group of ferocious-looking men armed with knives, sticks, and iron pipes appeared behind him.

Those people rushed out from the night and surrounded Conan who was sitting on a big tree.

Conan was dumbfounded. Looking at the crowd in front of him, his eyes went dark: Why did I fail to show off again?!

He frowned, looked carefully, and found that there were at least fifty or sixty people in front of him!

With so many people here, I can’t even deliver the ball or the anesthetic needles!
Damn it, usually one or two, three or four are enough, why are there so many today?

No, I got the wrong script, right?

Shit, this must be the script of Mr. Fujino!
