Koshizui Nanatsuki saw that the woman was kind and easy to communicate with, and his liking for the woman greatly increased. He asked with a smile, "Then what should I call you?"
"My name is Kitasaka Kaori, please give me your advice," the young woman introduced herself in a gentle voice, took out an envelope from her coat pocket, handed it to Koshimi Nanatsuki opposite, and said with sincerity, "I am here today.
I’m here hoping you can help decipher this code.”
"Password?" Koshimizu Nanatsuki curiously took the envelope, opened it, and took out the cardboard inside.
"Yes, an alumnus of my reasoning club in college is getting married. The party is holding a wedding party at four o'clock this afternoon, but they didn't specify the location. The invitation they sent was only a coded piece of paper. I couldn't decipher the code, so I thought
Ask the detective to help," Kitasaka Kaori smiled sheepishly and said, "Of course, I will pay you."
"I will help," Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the pictures on the cardboard and put the cardboard on the coffee table, "but you still need to fill out a power of attorney."
Kitasaka Kaori smiled and nodded, "Okay, no problem."
Chi Feichi took the printed power of attorney and ballpoint pen from his desk, brought them to the coffee table, and placed the power of attorney and ballpoint pen in front of Kitasaka Kaori.
"Excuse me, Mr. Chi," Koshizui Nanatsuki couldn't let Chi Feichi get the power of attorney for the guest as calmly as Mouri Kogoro. He expressed his gratitude to Chi Feichi before introducing the contents of the power of attorney to Kitasaka Kaori.
, "Ms. Kaori, the power of attorney prints out the investigation content, the remuneration column, and the division of responsibilities between both parties. For example, the client should try to provide the detective with real clues that he can provide, and should not deliberately provide wrong clues to mislead the detective in the investigation, and
Detectives cannot profit from the client's privacy without the client's consent. You can read these matters carefully. If the client has high confidentiality requirements, we can also sign a confidentiality agreement as a supplement.
, However, I think you don’t need to sign a confidentiality agreement for the things you entrust, right?"
Kitasaka Kaori smiled and nodded again, "Yes, this kind of entrustment does not require signing of any confidentiality agreement."
"Then, please fill in the entrustment content in the investigation content section and write 'unlock the code'," Koshimizu Nanatsuki guided Kitasaka Kaori to fill out the entrustment form. "As for the remuneration, I will wait until I see it in detail.
Let’s talk about it after the password. If I can’t help you solve the password, or I can’t get you to the wedding party on time, of course I can’t charge you a reward. In addition, if you don’t need to consume anything else to solve the password, I guarantee the reward.
It won’t exceed one thousand yen. If you need to consume items worth more than one thousand yen to unlock the code, you will need to provide the consumables. Do you think this is okay?”
"no problem."
"Then please sign the client column and fill in the contact information. The address and contact information of Seven Detectives are on the power of attorney. I have also signed the column for accepting the commission in advance. I will send the commission to you later.
I’ll give you a copy of the book…”
Under the guidance of Koshimi Nanatsuki, Kitasaka Kaori quickly filled out the power of attorney.
Chi Feichi brought the hot tea to the table, took the power of attorney to the side and made a copy. When he turned around and sent the power of attorney and the copy to the coffee table, he saw Conan standing outside the door and looking in, "Conan
?”
"Brother Chi, I plan to go to the doctor's house to play with everyone. When I called the doctor's house just now, Haibara asked me to come over and ask you and Sister Nanatsuki if you want to go..." Conan walked into the room and looked at the person sitting there
Kaori Kitasaka on the sofa, "Nanatsuki-sama, are there any guests here?"
"Yes, Miss Kitasaka Kaori asked me for help," Koshimizu Nanatsuki smiled at Conan, "I have to complete her commission before three o'clock in the afternoon, and I can't go to the doctor's house now."
"What kind of commission is it?" Conan walked curiously to the coffee table.
Chi Feichi knew at a glance that Conan would not leave for the time being, so he turned to the tea table and poured out two more cups of hot tea.
Koshizui Nanatsuki looked at Kitasaka Kaori and thought that this was not a privacy request, so he told Conan directly, "It's a secret code. Ms. Kaori's alumni of the Mystery Club in college are going to hold a wedding party somewhere, this afternoon.
It was four o'clock, but the location was not specified. The invitation was a coded piece of paper. She couldn't decipher the code, so she came to ask for help..."
"Secret code?" Conan's eyes lit up when he heard the code. He saw the envelope and cardboard on the coffee table and reached out to pick it up, "Is this it?"
Chi Feichi brought two cups of hot tea to the coffee table and placed one cup in front of Conan.
"Thank you, Brother Chi," Conan Tongyin said obediently. She looked at the picture on the card and asked, "Has Brother Chi seen this code?"
Chi Feichi put his cup of tea on the coffee table, "Not yet."
"It's very interesting," Conan's eyes were filled with excitement as he encountered a challenge, "It's a very special picture!"
Chi Fei became interested belatedly, sat on the sofa, and looked at the paper jam in Conan's hand.
Since even Conan said the code is interesting, it means that the code is not that easy to solve and you can challenge it...
The white cardboard is a little larger than an adult male's palm, and there is a special picture printed on it: a hand stretches out toward the river, with the back of the hand facing upward, and the five nails from the little finger to the thumb are painted yellow, green, and blue in sequence.
, red, white, with a ring painted on the ring finger, and a rose-red five-pointed star on the front of the thumb. Further along the river, there is a bridge on the river bank and high-rise buildings in the city. In addition, in the lower left corner of the picture, there is
The number '1/2,5000' was written with a black pen.
The moment Chi Feichi saw the picture, he remembered that this was an incident that happened in the original plot. Not only did he recall the answer to the code, but he also recalled the love and hatred between Kitasaka Kaori and the organizer of the wedding party.
The trace of expectation in my heart was immediately wiped out. I looked sideways at Conan who was full of expectation next to me, got up and left the sofa.
Very good, he has no challenge, then everyone will lose the joy of solving puzzles together!
"Eh?" Conan didn't expect Chi Feichi to stand up and leave after taking one look at the picture. He looked at Chi Feichi in confusion as he walked towards the bookshelf, "Brother Chi?"
"I'll get the map." Chi Fei was late and arrived in front of the bookshelf. He squatted down and pulled out an atlas of the Tokyo area from the bottom row of the bookshelf.
Conan put the cardboard and envelope back on the coffee table, looked at the picture on the cardboard, and quickly locked his eyes on the number in the lower left corner of the picture, "Is it because of the mark '1/2,5000' in the lower left corner of the picture?"
"Indeed, the markings at this place are like reminding us to look at the map at a scale of 1/25,000," Koshimizu Nanatsuki understood what Conan and Chi Feichi meant, murmured, and continued to look at the entire picture.
"The hand in the picture has a ring on the ring finger, which probably means marriage, and there is a five-pointed star in front of the thumb, which probably refers to the location of the wedding party..."
"The nails on each finger of the hand in the picture are painted a different color," Conan thought, "This may also be an important clue, yellow, green, blue, red..."
Chi Feichi turned to one of the pages in the atlas, took the atlas to the glass door, "Yue Shui, bring over the code paper."
"Ah? Okay."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki didn't know what Chi Feichi wanted to do, but he still chose to do it, picked up the cardboard and went to Chi Feichi's side.
Conan's eyelids twitched and he immediately set off to follow Koshimi Nanatsuki.
Hey, hey, brother Chi, won't you have unlocked the secret code?
No way...how could it be so fast?
"The '1/2,5000' in the lower left corner of the picture really reminds us to look at the map of one part in twenty-five thousand, and the hand in the picture is far away from the bridge on the river bank, which reminds us to look at the bridge.
In addition, the different colors of fingernails are indeed an important clue." Chi Feichi pressed a page of the map on the glass door, letting the sunlight through the glass door illuminate the page of the map clearly, and pressed the map book with his left hand
, took the cardboard from Koshizu Nanatsuki's hand with his right hand and placed it on the map, "There are bridges arranged in this color order on the Sumida River. The yellow bridge is the Kuramae Bridge, with a little yellow tone.
The green bridge is the Stable Bridge, the blue bridge is the Komagata Bridge, and the crimson bridge is the Azuma Bridge..."
As Chi Feichi adjusted the angle of the paper, the fingernails on the picture overlapped with the bridges across the Sumida River on the map.
The yellow nail on the little finger overlaps with the Kuramae Bridge, the green nail on the ring finger overlaps with the Stable Bridge, the blue nail on the middle finger overlaps with the Komagata Bridge, the red nail on the index finger overlaps with the Azuma Bridge, and the positions of the four bridges completely overlap with the positions of the picture nails.
Exactly.
Chi Feichi continued, "The five-pointed star in front of the thumb of the picture is where the wedding party will be held."
Koshimizu Nanatsuki looked at the place where the five-pointed star in the picture overlapped with the map, and read out the place marked on the map, "Suzuki Tower..."
Kitasaka Kaori exclaimed, "Okay, that's amazing!"
Conan looked at the cardboard drawings and maps on the side, confirming in his heart that there was no problem with this interpretation. He suddenly remembered that Chi Feichi said, "I am not good at deciphering codes", and laughed in his heart.
He didn't even sit down or take a sip of tea. Brother Chi took a look at the code paper and figured out the code. If this is not good at deciphering codes, then who else in the world can say that he is good at it?
