As soon as the client said these words, Conan immediately took out his portable notebook from his pocket and stood ready with a pen in his hand.
"T-A-K-A, 3 minus 8."
A string of code-like words that were completely confusing came out of the client's mouth, and Conan immediately wrote them down in his notebook.
Although I don’t know what it means yet, since the client said so, I must be able to find an angle to analyze it and discover the mystery.
"What does this mean?" Mouri Kogoro had no clue and roared at his client.
"I said it, and I only say it once. You have 12 hours left."
At this moment, an antique-looking clock in the banquet hall rang at the right time. The time on the clock was fixed at 10:00, and there were only twelve hours left before the deadline of 10 p.m. to solve the case.
Twelve hours is not a short time, but if you want to find the way to the truth from such a piece of information that is not even a hint...
All I can say is, no minute can be wasted.
"Okay, please go and solve the riddle. For me, but also for the children..."
After saying this, the client took the initiative to cut off the connection, and the screen flashed for a moment and then went dark.
"Mr. Mori, this is for you." The secretary next to him stepped forward and handed Kogoro Mori a small mobile phone.
"This is a hotline to contact the client. But you can't take the initiative to call the client. You can only wait for the client to call for instructions. When you solve the case, call me at the number on it, and then come back here.
I will ask you to explain your reasoning at that time..."
Mouri Kogoro stamped his feet heavily, knowing that he was restricted by others and could only solve the case as quickly as possible. He snatched the cell phone from the secretary's hand, took Conan and rushed out of the banquet hall.
…
Conan and Uncle Maori walked out of the hotel and immediately found the hotel service staff, and under their guidance found where the tattered car was parked.
After getting in the car, Conan immediately took out his detective badge.
At this time, cell phone communications are not necessarily safe. God knows if the lunatic client is monitoring their calls to prevent them from calling the police... but the detective badge must be safe.
Conan knew that Yuan Huaiyu was most likely next to Hui Yuan Ai. As long as he contacted Hui Yuan Ai, he could tell Yuan Huaiyu the cause and effect of the matter and ask him to help.
"Hey, Haiyuan, can you hear me?"
Soon, the conversation about the detective badge was connected. Conan sat in the passenger seat and fastened his seat belt, and said impatiently to the detective badge in his hand.
"Well, you can hear me. What happened?"
Haihara Ai's voice came from the detective badge, and was also mixed with the faint sound of a horn. It sounded like a car driving on the road.
Then, without waiting for the other party to respond, he briefly described the series of things that had just happened, like pouring beans through a bamboo tube.
To sum it up, it’s probably—Teacher Yuan, danger, rescue immediately!
Haibara Ai and Koshimi Nanatsuki's expressions became more solemn as they listened, and then they felt the car slow down. They both raised their heads at the same time. In front of them was a lively square with people coming and going, and behind the square was
It is a conspicuous entrance where people flow in and out.
The large sign at the entrance shows what kind of place this is——
Fantasy paradise.
"It's me." Yuan Huaiyu finally spoke after parking the car on the side of the road, "We have arrived at the entrance of Fantasy Park."
Conan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyebrows lit up with joy.
If Yuan Huaiyu has arrived at the entrance of Fantasy Park, he might just be able to meet them who are about to drive out of the nearby parking lot.
"Don't make contact. According to you, this is a real scumbag and lunatic who doesn't take human life seriously. No one can tell whether there is an informant of his... Now, I say, listen.
.”
There is an unquestionable feeling in Yuan Huaiyu's words.
"I will not follow you to find out the truth - anyone with any connection can find out. I have a close relationship with the Metropolitan Police Department and cannot do anything that might make that guy think you are cooperating with the police.
Come."
"I will go to the Fantasy Park with Xiao Ai to protect the children and Miss Maori and ensure that nothing happens to them."
"It just so happens that I have a detective here. If she acts with you, it shouldn't cause too much of a violent reaction from the client - after all, hiring a detective is hiring, and bringing along another somewhat famous detective will only make it easier to solve the case.
This thing becomes more hopeful.”
Conan thought for a moment and then thought of who Yuan Huaiyu was talking about: "You mean Sister Yueshui? Is she with you?"
"Well. It just so happens that the last time the detective Koshien on that island didn't decide the winner, you can take this opportunity to have a reasoning competition..."
On the side, Koshimi Nanatsuki was eager to try.
And with a reliable helper, Conan finally felt relieved a little.
Youyuan Huaiyu ensures the safety of the children and Lan, so they have no worries and can pursue the truth of the case with all their strength.
What they have to do now is to solve this suspicious case before ten o'clock in the evening!
"By the way, you can't ride the roller coaster called "Super Snake" because the selling point of that roller coaster is that it will rush to the sea on the way - this will make ID leave the park and then put the roller coaster on
Everyone was blown to pieces."
Conan seemed to have remembered something and gave an instruction.
"Don't worry. I've already given your number to Koshizui, and she will work with you later." Yuanhuaiyu said as he threw the car key to Koshimi Nanatsuki in the back seat, and then called to Haibara
Ai got out of the car together.
After hanging up the communication with the detective badge, he looked at Nanatsuki Koshimizu who got out of the car at the same time: "That's probably the situation. You can use this car as you like. We'll go to Fantasy Park to find someone first."
After saying that, he picked up Hui Yuan Ai and ran towards the gate of Fantasy Park.
"But, why was Kudo kept by that client? In the eyes of others, shouldn't he just be a primary school student who has no threat but is also useless?"
Leaning on Yuan Huaiyu's chest, with the wind blowing through her brown hair, Haiyuan Ai raised her own question.
"Of course that's because - in the client's perception, he is not Edogawa Conan, but the famous high school detective, Kudo Shinichi."
