Chapter 540 Core members, five stars and the dead!
At about 6:30 in the afternoon, in the lounge of Zhengming Temple.
Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta sat next to Xiaolan and Kazuye. Genta touched his belly and muttered:
"...I'm so hungry and want to eat..."
"Me too, but it seems that we can't serve food in the temple right now because of the investigation."
"Really, the police officers are so slow! They don't have the ability to solve the case, and they don't know how to entrust our young detective team to help..."
"..."
Xiaolan, He Ye listened to the nonsense of the little devils, with beads of sweat on their foreheads, and smiled helplessly - where did these little guys get their confidence from?
The little guys murmured for a while, and then Mitsuhiko suddenly said: "That's right! That's right! Have you taken all the reading notes assigned by the teacher?"
"No, I originally planned to do it this afternoon, but..."
"If we don't take study notes, Teacher Xiaolin will be unhappy, right?"
"yes……"
While the little ghosts were talking, Xiaolan suddenly smiled and said: "...Since you are worried about reading and taking notes, how about we go to a nearby bookstore to read and take notes, and then have something to eat by the way?"
He Ye was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Yes, yes! Xiaolan and I can treat you to something good~"
"Really? Thank you so much!"
…
Near Rice University.
Hatano Emi and Shimizu Nagao took Conan, Hattori, Koshimizu and the others to the bookstore, and said with a smile: "...As for bookstores, the Bowen Bookstore outside Yoneka University is the best. The types of books there are very complete, and you will definitely be able to read them.
Find the books you want..."
"Well, I'm sorry to trouble you." Conan thanked him and turned to look at Shimizu Nagao, who looked like he was thinking.
Conan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Mr. Qingshui, what are you thinking about?"
"Uh...it's nothing..." Shimizu Nagao came to his senses and replied with a smile, "...Actually, after looking at the roster, I suddenly recalled that Sonoyu once teased her with a smile, in the Tang Poetry Club
Inside, there are a group of real core members..."
"Core member?" Hattori and Koshimizu Nanatsuki also looked at Shimizu Nagao, "...what does that core member mean?"
Shimizu Yongo shook his head: "...I don't know either. However, I once curiously asked Yuan Yu if I was a core member, and Yuan Yu said no. Also, not long after Yuan Yu graduated from university,
When Jin Ma and Zhu Shui passed away unexpectedly, Yuan Yu once said that two core members were suddenly missing..."
"Um……"
Conan, Hattori, and Koshimizu Nanatsuki all frowned again. After a while, Hattori Heiji turned to look at Conan and said, "...kid, you and I must be thinking the same thing, right?"
"Well, almost." Conan nodded, "...but we still need to verify it."
"...After all, none of us have memorized so many Tang poems!"
Several people were talking and walked into the bookstore together. They found a Chinese and Japanese Chinese character dictionary. They glanced at it briefly and then smiled at each other:
"It seems that this order should be correct."
Conan smiled and put the dictionary back on the bookshelf: "...Next, let's look for "Three Hundred Tang Poems" together to see if it is what we want..."
Conan was talking when he suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from behind: "Ah? Conan, Hattori, Detective Koshimizu? Why are you here?"
"Huh?" Conan and the others turned their heads together and looked at the source of the sound, and were suddenly stunned——
Xiao Lan? He Ye? And the three little ghost heads? Why are they here?
"Sister Xiaolan, why are you here?" Conan smiled with narrowed eyes and scratched his head in a cute way.
Xiaolan smiled and said: "...The temple has been investigating the case. Heye and I took the children out to have something to eat. In addition, Bumi and the others said that they seemed to have some reading notes that they had not taken..."
"Uh, that's right..."
Conan nodded, and then he saw Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Genta staring at Conan with dissatisfaction and grumbling, saying things like "acting alone again" and "sneaking away".
Class words.
Conan had a look on his face, and his ears automatically filtered out the words of the three little devils. At this time, Kazuye suddenly asked: "...By the way, what are you doing in the bookstore?"
"We encountered some problems while investigating the case, so we came here to check some information." Hattori Heiji replied with a smile.
"Information? What information? We can help!" Ayumi, Genta and the other three brats became excited again.
Conan rolled his eyes speechlessly - Damn it! Are you helping me? You are not helping me!
Conan was too lazy to pay attention to Genta and the others. Together with Hattori Heiji and Koshimizu Nanatsuki, they found the bookshelf with "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and read them one by one. As for Ayumi, Genta, and Mitsuhiko, they also followed.
He also picked up "Three Hundred Tang Poems" and looked at it pretendingly.
It didn't take long for Conan and the three of them to have smiles on their faces: "...It's really interesting! Everything is exactly as we thought, the five victims are all 'core members'..."
"Yes! This 'literary poet' from thousands of years ago has finally surfaced. It is also clear why the murderer cut off the victim's fingers. However, there is still a question..."
"...the meaning of 'Dou Mu Xie, Ji Shui Leopard, Zhang Yue Lu, Kang Jin Long, Ox Taurus'!"
Hattori Heiji frowned tightly: "...the murderer left the names of these five constellations on the murder notice, which means that there must be some connection between these five constellations and the five deceased people. However,
What exactly is this connection?”
"Is it the order of poems?" Conan pinched his chin, "Damn it... there are fifty-one poems of this type, and they don't look like they are related to the twenty-eight constellations."
"This must have a deeper meaning..."
Conan, Hattori and the others were discussing together, and suddenly they heard the noise of the brats next to them.
Conan turned his head in displeasure, walked up to Genta and the others, and said "Hey": "Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, could you please keep your voice down? You are so noisy, we can't think at all!"
"Huh?" Genta, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko and the others turned their heads, "We are not arguing, we just decided on the content of today's reading notes!"
"Uh..." Conan said with an "Are you kidding me" expression on his face, "You are going to take notes on reading "Three Hundred Tang Poems"? Do you understand?"
"Although we can't understand it...but we think it's very interesting!" Mitsuhiko explained with a smile.
Little Lolita Aumei also said cutely: "...We are going to count and see which poet has written the most poems. This will be the content of our notes!"
Yuantai pointed to the book in his hand: "We just finished counting the five-character quatrains. This person with the character "王" in his name is so amazing. He wrote five of them by himself!"
"Is there a 'king' in the name?" Conan looked over curiously and curled his lips, "Idiot! That man's name is Wang Wei! He wrote many poems. In addition, "Three Hundred Tang Poems" contains
There are many works of famous poets, and many poets have collected many of their works. Every poet who is lucky enough to be selected into "Three Hundred Tang Poems" is a real literary giant... uh... uh..."
As Conan spoke, his whole body suddenly froze. He opened the book "Three Hundred Tang Poems" in his hand and began to read it carefully.
About half a minute later, Conan raised his head with a mischievous smile on his lips.
Hattori scratched his head and turned to glance at Conan. After seeing Conan's expression, the corners of his mouth twitched twice:
"Hey! Kid! What's that expression on your face? Could it be that you have already..."
"Yes! I understand what the stars represent." Conan nodded, "...the five stars indicate the five victims, it's absolutely correct..."
As Conan spoke, he turned to look at Yuantai and the others——
Speaking of which, it was really thanks to them "making trouble" just now, otherwise, he wouldn't have thought of this!
