Conan's Unscientific Detective

Just as the honest man was wondering, there was a sudden noise from the printer next to him.

This is a new manuscript written by Shinname Rentaro.

Fujino walked forward and picked up the new manuscript.

The honest man did not stop him when he saw this. After all, it was basically certain that the new Rentaro had been involved in some turmoil... and even had met with an accident.

The original manuscript still has the same apex as the other half, and the signature remains unchanged.

If Fujino remembered correctly, the secret code should be hidden in the middle of the apex.

After flipping through several manuscripts, Fujino suddenly said to everyone: "If this is the case, I already know the secret hidden in the manuscripts."

"The secret hidden in the manuscript?"

Hearing this, Shinname Kaori and the honest man came over.

"The secret is actually hidden in the name of the manuscript... the apex of half."

As he spoke, Fujino showed the manuscript to the two of them, and pointed to the text on each page that was beyond the normal format: "If it's the top half, it should mean that every time Mr. Niname appears in this book, the top half of each line of dialogue with the left text is only half, that is, half of the text... In this way, it should be 'Please come and save me quickly'."

"what?!"

"If that's the case, then my father must have been kidnapped now!"

"Then these codes must have been deliberately written by Mr. Xinming to conceal his identity, right?!"

"That's what I said, but the codes in other manuscripts can't be deciphered using this method..."

As he spoke, Fujino placed the manuscript on the table beside him. "The others who followed this solution would only end up with meaningless text."

“Did it change to another format?”

The honest man also came over and asked puzzledly.

"I don't think that's the case. There must be some other mystery."

Fujino looked at the manuscript, then glanced at Huibara Ai not far away.

To be honest, my memory of this period is a bit vague.

To solve the case, you just need to know who the murderer is, string some memories together, observe the scene, and use your reasoning skills to solve the case.

He knew that the new name Rentaro was in Room 2407 of the Haido City Hotel, but he had trouble figuring out how to crack the codes.

It is a bit troublesome, but we can still draw a conclusion.

The reason why he pretended not to know was all to confirm his own guess...

As Fujino was watching from the corner of her eye, Huibara Ai walked silently to Fujino's side, tiptoed to pick up a manuscript on the table, and took a look at it.

After a moment, she suddenly said calmly: "Every time the new name Rentaro appears, it is in France. According to the rules of the silent pronunciation of h in French, if the characters are rearranged, we should be able to get the subsequent code, right?"

Then, Huiyuan Ai gently pinched the long hair beside her ear and showed the appearance of a little girl again: "Hey? Am I right?"

Fujino: “…………”

Okay, it's still a little weird.

Why does it feel like Conan?

Similar to Conan's Husky, Haibara Ai is a little loli who loves to act coquettishly.

There is no comparison between the two.

However, this also confirmed Fujino's guess...

Thinking about it, Fujino picked up the manuscript, looked at it, and said, "If it is based on the silent rule, then these codes can indeed be deciphered. The first code is 'Please come and save me quickly', the second is 'My current location', the third is 'Haito City Hotel', and the last one is 'Room 2407'."

"The information we got from connecting the dots is that Mr. Niname is currently in room 2047 of the Haido City Hotel."

"Then let's get there quickly!"

Shinname Kaori said anxiously: "If it were now, my father might still... "

"Let's call the police first!"

The honest man took out his cell phone and said, "If Mr. Xinming is really kidnapped, he will probably kill him if we rush over!"

As the editor-in-chief, the life of Shinmei Rentaro is directly related to his interests.

If the new name Rentaro died, the Detective Samonji series would definitely be over.

By then, not only will his performance be ruined.

Editorial agencies will also suffer considerable losses.

"I don't think so."

At this time, Fujino suddenly called out to the honest man, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Niname has not been kidnapped at all."

"Not kidnapped?"

“It’s a bit difficult to explain…”

As he spoke, Fujino looked at Shinna Kaori meaningfully and said, "Miss Shinna, when we get to the Haido Municipal Hotel, everything will be clear."

Shinname Kaori seemed a little confused. After being stunned for a moment, she still chose to believe Fujino.

Afterwards, several people drove to Beihu Municipal Hotel.

Beihu Municipal Hotel, Beihu Restaurant, and Beihu Hotel are actually the same place.

It's just called differently...

Come to think of it, the last time Kaito Kidd appeared was on the roof of this hotel.

At the door of Room 2407, Fujino held a wooden sword and knocked lightly on the door.

After a while, the door opened and a middle-aged woman came into view.

He was probably in his forties or fifties, and the lost look on his face was obvious even without him saying anything.

"mom?!"

When Shinna Kaori saw the woman, she couldn't help but scream.

"Kaori?"

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when she saw Shinname Xiang Baoli.

"Where's my dad?!"

Shinname Kaori asked anxiously, "Were you kidnapped by someone?"

"Kidnapping?"

The middle-aged woman frowned and thought for a moment. She was about to say something when a voice came from the room behind her: "Is Xiang Baoli here?"

"dad?"

After Shinna Kaori entered the room, she walked quickly towards the room opposite the door.

Fujino and his group followed him in, and what they saw was an old man lying on the bed with gray hair and a haggard face.

"Dad, what on earth are you doing..."

Shinna Kaori looked at her father's haggard face and asked anxiously.

“I directed and acted in all this myself.”

Shinmei Rentaro's pale face forced a smile, "I found out I had cancer two months ago. I'm really sorry for not telling you... After all, I wanted this code to be more realistic... And given my current condition, you would definitely be sad."

"dad……"

Tears flowed down Shinna Kaori's eyes.

"Okay, stop crying."

Niina Rentaro raised his hand with great effort, and wiped away Niina Kaori's tears with his skinny fingers. "Since you were able to make it here, someone must have cracked my code, right? Didn't this incident alert the police?"

"The police were not alerted, but someone did crack the code you left behind, Dad."

Shinname Kaori nodded and looked at Fujino who was standing beside her: "The one who figured out your secret code, Dad, was Detective Fujino... and it was Detective Fujino's request that we not call the police."

"Detective Fujino?"

Shinmei Rentaro struggled to sit up from the bed, leaned against the headboard, and cast his eyes on Fujino: "You didn't call the police, which means you have already seen the truth behind this matter... You even guessed that I directed and acted in this matter myself."

"Well, it's a little troublesome to explain, but this is indeed the case."

Fujino nodded without further ado.

He could see that the old man in front of him was at the end of his strength.

Wasting time is equivalent to wasting the other person's life.

At this time, the new name Rentaro spoke again, his words sounded a little weak: "The recognition of my works by readers is the happiest moment in my life. I have been a writer for 40 years, but there is still one kind of happiness I have not enjoyed. That is, I hope someone can rush up to me and say that he has solved the puzzle of an old man like me one step ahead of me..."

"Your wish has been fulfilled."

As he spoke, Fujino picked up the wooden sword and said, "Come to think of it, I'm also a fan of Detective Sawamonji."

"Is that so?"

A relieved smile appeared on the face of Shinname Rentaro.

Of course, Fujino told a little lie. He was not a fan of Detective Sawamonji, but in order to fulfill the wish of a dying old man, he could tell this little lie. At worst, he could make it up later.

Afterwards, in the last days of her life, Kaori chatted a lot with Rentaro, and would occasionally talk to Fujino.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye it was midnight.

After a moment of silence, Shinmei Rentaro fell completely silent.

Chapter 146 You don’t want to be discovered by the organization, right? [3k chapter]

"Thank you very much, Detective Fujino."

At the entrance of the Haido Municipal Hotel, Shinna Kaori bowed deeply to Fujino with tears in her eyes, "Thanks to you, my father's last wish was fulfilled... and you also helped me see my father for the last time."

Fujino waved his hand and said calmly: "You're welcome. You are my client. Helping clients solve their problems is what a professional full-time detective like me should do."

As he spoke, Fujino glanced at the ambulance that was moving away and sighed, "It's a pity that you and your daughter didn't get to spend more time together."

Maybe if Shinna Kaori came earlier, he could buy her some time... get to know Shinna Rentaro better and expand his network.

But even if Fujino has a healing bonus, it can only delay the death of Shinmei Rentaro at best.

Cancer is still an incurable disease in this era.

It can be said that the death of Shinmei Rentaro is just a matter of time.

As for being cured... I don't even dare to think about it.

If cancer could be cured, he would have become Black Jack long ago.

"Detective Fujino, you've done enough."

A smile appeared on Shinna Kaori's sad face. "Being able to see my father for the last time and seeing with my own eyes that he left without any regrets is enough for me."

From the conversation between the few people just now, Shinname Kaori also understood something.

She made up her mind: Fujino should have figured out the truth of this case a long time ago, and knew that her father would not live long... and the reason why he did not bother the police and brought her here in a hurry was also to allow her to spend the last period of time with her father...

Thinking of this, she looked at Fujino with even more admiration.

"nothing."

Fujino chuckled, "It's just a detective's duty."

Now, all he could do was to fulfill the dying old man's wish, help the girl see her dying father for the last time, and collect a commission that was easy to get...

But the commission.

Given the current situation, it was really difficult for him to speak.

He simply couldn't do such a shameless thing as asking for the commission money just after the man's father died.

Fujino likes money, but he is not a beast.

"Is it the detective's responsibility..."

Shinname Kaho was stunned and fell into deep thought.
