In the dim church, Mouri Kogoro hung up the phone, looked at everyone and said: "Rescue won't come until tomorrow, and all your cars are totaled.
It seems that tonight, all of us will have to spend the night in this church."
"What about you guys?" the big man Wada Kohei asked, "How did you get here?"
"Take a taxi." Mouri Kogoro said impatiently: "I got off the car at the forest side and walked over."
"Speaking of which, who called us here? We can almost admit it, right?"
Nishino Cheng, who had long curly hair, also said this and looked at his companions: "Who is it? In everyone's name, you called all of us here?"
But it is a pity that when faced with Nishino Sumiya's questioning, no one on the battlefield stood up and was willing to admit it.
"We came here to investigate the truth behind Mr. Nihara's suicide here."
Toru Amuro asked: "Do you know where Mr. Hihara committed suicide?"
"I don't know, I only found out through text messages on my mobile phone." Nishino Cheng also shook his head.
"Me too"
"Same"
After Nishino Chengya said that, the other four people turned into repeaters one after another, shaking their heads to express that they didn't know anything.
"That being said, we still have to decipher the code."
Conan said: "It's the code in the letter that uncle received."
"Ah, you said this." Mouri Kogoro heard this and took out the code paper from his body.
"Speaking of secret codes"
After hearing Conan's words, Fujide Yorito also took out his mobile phone and started operating it, "I also received a copy on my mobile phone."
"If you are talking about a completed form with densely packed characters, I have one here too." Nishino Cheng also agreed.
"I also received such a thing." Furuura Ikue quickly agreed.
Kohei Wada: "I also sent a text message asking what is this?"
Yosuke Kawasaki: "I thought it would be announced after we meet."
As expected, all five people received the secret code at the same time, but the difference was that the content on each person's secret code paper was different.
"Katakana and Hiragana are different, but the order of characters on all tables is the same."
Toru Amuro looked at the code paper and said: "As for the key clue to unlocking the code, I'm afraid it has something to do with the 3×3 thick-lined box."
"By the way, now isn't the time for reasoning, right?"
Furuura Ikie crossed her arms and suggested: "What we need to do now is to make a fire to keep warm."
"really."
Tang Ze nodded and said, "I remember seeing an iron bucket at the entrance on the way here.
Let's move it over, find something to burn, and make a fire to keep warm."
"Just do it."
Mouri Kogoro nodded and said: "The space in this chapel is too big, and the windows are not tight. There is always a cold wind blowing, so there is no need to worry about lack of oxygen."
"Then please take out all the food and water you have brought with you and share them." Toru Amuro looked at everyone and said with a smile, "As long as we survive tonight, we will be fine."
"I happened to bring a lot of snacks here." Nishino Cheng also smiled and took out his backpack.
"I brought a lot of water, do any of you want to drink?" Fujide Yorito said with a smile.
"If you want to cheer up, just tell me. I brought a lot of mint candies." Ikue Furuura said as he shook out two and put them in his mouth.
"Ikue, you still like to eat mints as always." Wada Kohei teased with a smile, receiving a blank look from the other party.
"I don't need to bother, I don't need anything."
Kawasaki Yosuke adjusted his glasses, took a sip of water and said, "I brought water here myself, and there's no problem if I don't eat all night."
"You still haven't changed your mysophobia," Wada Kohei joked with a smile.
The group of people joked and joked for a while, and soon began to divide their duties and dispersed to carry iron barrels or collect burning fuel.
Because there were a lot of people present, it was done quickly with the division of labor.
But they also made an unexpected discovery.
"Just now Yue said she was very cold, so I saw this piece of paper when I went to close the door of the chapel."
Following Wada Kohei's shout, everyone gathered one after another, and then they saw the content on the paper.
[If you want to pay homage to me, go to the following places and collect a eulogy from each person. - Taisei Nihara.]
Underneath this sentence on the paper, there is a floor plan with the various rooms of the church marked.
Obviously, this is to let them go to these rooms first to look for clues.
"what does this mean?"
Kawasaki Yosuke, who went to the bathroom with Conan, was the last to come back. After reading the contents on the paper, everyone looked puzzled.
"I'm not sure, but I also found this code paper." Wada Kohei said.
"And there is Nihara's name on it," Ikue Furuura said fearfully.
"It does feel scary." Nishino Cheng also echoed.
"Do I think this is like playing a game?"
Just when everyone looked panicked, Fujiide Yorito suddenly said: "Maybe the person who called us here wants to let us have fun through games."
"There is really no other way, so let's look for it."
Mouri Kogoro said helplessly: "Anyway, there is nothing else to do except waiting."
"In this case, we need to decide first which person will go to which place." Tangze said.
"Then just use the poker I brought."
Toru Amuro said as he took out the playing cards: "The person with the higher number can choose where to go first.
If the same numbers are drawn, use the order of spades, hearts, diamonds, and clubs."
"That's a good idea." After hearing Toru Amuro's words, Furuura Ikue smiled and agreed.
"Wait a moment!"
At this moment, Nishino Cheng on the side also squeezed away Ikue Furura, came to Toru Amuro, pointed at the playing cards in his hand and said: "The top card of this deck of playing cards is the card on top.
Feeling a little dirty!
Could it be that you made some marks so that you can know what card this is?"
"No, no, how could it be possible?" Toru Amuro said sarcastically.
"It's nothing, it's just a game anyway." Wada Kohei said with a smile.
"Even if it's a game, it can't be so casual." Nishino Cheng said without giving in.
"Then let's use "painting ghost feet" to decide."
Furukura Ikue suggested again: "I just happened to bring the paper for writing the report."
"That won't work either."
After hearing this, Yosuke Kawasaki objected: "You can also cheat by the number of lines you draw."
"How about guessing?" Fujide Yorito said, holding out his hand.
Listening to the messy remarks of his companions, Ikue Furuura couldn't help covering his mouth and snickering: "Looking like this now, it seems like it's back to the time when you were choosing the captain."
Hearing Furuura Ikue's teasing, the four men looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
"In that case, let's make the decision the old way."
Nishino Cheng also smiled and said: "Kawasaki, you should have brought a cardboard box, right?"
"Well, I just finished one box." Kawasaki Yosuke nodded: "I originally planned to use it as heating fuel later."
"Ikue, please divide the report paper into 9 equal parts." Nishino Chengya said again.
"OK, leave it to me."
After Ikue Furuura nodded, he immediately took out a piece of report paper, then folded it in half and divided it into 9 equal parts.
Then tear it apart equally according to the crease.
"I really miss it."
"Reminds me of my childhood."
Several people looked at Nishino Sumiya handing out papers with a nostalgic smile on their faces.
"Then take a piece of paper, write your name on it, and put it in the paper box."
Nishino Cheng also introduced the rules with a smile: "Then as the captain, I will draw them one by one and decide where everyone goes in order."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and then Nishino Chengya began to draw lots.
The lottery was quickly completed and everyone’s destination was confirmed.
And just as Karasawa expected, it was Wada Kohei who was drawn into the bathroom.
After confirming where they were going, everyone dispersed and set off to investigate their respective destinations.
Because Karasawa drew a bathroom, it was not far from the room facing the bathroom.
This bit of good luck also facilitated his actions.
So after they dispersed, Karasawa and Wada Kohei headed in the same direction.
Looking at Nishino Sumiya entering the conversation room, Karasawa entered the bathroom, turned around and walked towards the bathroom in front.
"Eh!?"
Looking at Karasawa, Wada Kohei had a strange look on his face: "Why are you here? I remember the bathroom is opposite me."
"That's true, but I don't think it's a game."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "As for the division of labor just now, I noticed something was wrong, and the problem happened to be with you.
Because I’m a little concerned, I came over here to take a look first.”
"oh"
When Wada Kohei heard Karasawa's words, he didn't have much reaction. Apparently he didn't get any meaning from Karasawa's words. He asked very dullly: "Then what are you going to watch?"
"Have you looked at the bathroom and found the code paper?" Tang Ze asked without answering, "What are you going to do next?"
"No, I just cleaned up the general situation of the toilet, and I didn't see the code paper."
Wada Kohei shook his head and said: "So I plan to open the doors of these compartments to see if there is anything inside."
"So that's the case, then I almost know it."
Tang Ze smiled and said, "In that case, let me check it for you next."
“Yes, yes”
Wada Kohei nodded, but when he looked at Tang Ze, his face was still a little confused: "But when you say you know, do you know something?"
"Well, I'm just guessing for now. I'll tell you after I check it out."
As Karasawa spoke, he looked around and found a worn-out mop in the corner of the bathroom.
The mop cloth on the mop has basically been broken off, leaving only a bare mop head connected to the round stick.
However, this was more convenient for Karasawa. He picked up the mop and did not open the door to the bathroom. Instead, he stood next to the stall door and used a stick to open the door from below.
"What are you doing?"
Seeing Karasawa's actions, Wada Kohei showed confusion and confusion on his face: "Why do you have to open the door like this? Why don't you just open it?"
"I'm verifying my reasoning, so I still need to be careful before the results come out."
As Karasawa spoke, he opened the door of the second compartment with a stick, but still nothing happened.
"baffling"
Wada Kohei scratched his head in confusion, "What's the point of doing this?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was the sound of a bowstring being fired, and the next moment a sharp arrow shot out from the deepest compartment, then hit the hard wall, and finally fell to the ground.
"Da da"
The crisp sound of the arrow falling to the ground made Wada Kohei swallow his words directly, and was replaced by a look of fear on his face.
"This, what is this!"
Wada Kohei looked at the arrows that fell on the ground and asked in a trembling tone, his original rough voice even cracked slightly in fear: "Why, why are there things like hidden weapons in the toilet?"
!”
"Obviously, to kill you."
Seeing the situation in front of him, Tang Ze said calmly without changing his expression.
"Kill, kill me?"
When Wada Kohei heard Karasawa's words, he shouted in disbelief: "This, how is this possible?"
"How is this impossible?"
Tang Ze asked back, and then under the other person's dull gaze, he reached out and pulled him towards the front of the cubicle.
"Look, there is a hand crossbow here, and it's brand new, without a trace of rust."
Tang Ze said: "This means that this trap has just been set up. If you open the compartments one by one without my participation, then when you get to the innermost one, it will be your death.
"
"Yes, who is it!?"
After hearing Karasawa's words, Wada Kohei's initial fear turned into anger: "Who wants to kill me!!?"
"As for the prisoner, I've almost locked it."
Karasawa looked at Wada Kohei who wanted to ask, "But I don't want to waste time repeating the same reasoning over and over again.
Now go and call everyone over and ask them to gather in the bathroom.
When everyone is here, I will tell you the details of the matter."
"I know, I'm going to hand everyone over now!"
Although Wada Kohei wanted to know immediately who wanted to kill him.
But when faced with the actions of Tang Ze, his lifesaver, he was not dissatisfied at all. Instead, he nodded and ran out of the bathroom.
While running towards each other, they were yelling, "Something's happened, come to the bathroom quickly."
Soon everyone who heard the noise walked out of the rooms they were searching for, and then gathered in the direction of the bathroom.
