Putting his troubled parents aside for the time being, Conan really thought about Shiraishi's question, but he really couldn't figure out how these two could use him.
As we all know, he is just a helpless kid, and he doesn't even have any equipment on him now. If he wants to fight against someone, it will be very difficult for him not to hold back.
If he wanted to collect intelligence, Conan felt that Shiraishi was much better informed than he was - at least he was not aware of the potential murders, while Shiraishi and Black Cat were not only able to discover them, but even had time to stop them.
In terms of mental work, in the case of Okino Yoko's house, Shiraishi fell asleep not long after arriving at the scene, but in just a few minutes, he actually saw through the real culprit, which shows that his reasoning ability is not inferior to his own.
But now listening to Black Cat's words, it seems that he wants his help.
Is it possible...
Following Shiraishi to the private room on the second floor of the Internet cafe, when the man in black opened the door, Conan looked over and muttered "Sure enough" - Shiraishi was leaning back on a soft single chair with a neck protector, closed.
Eyes slept peacefully.
He was holding a few pieces of paper in his hands, and the papers under his feet were scattered all over the floor. It seemed that he had not been able to hold his hands steady since he fell asleep.
Baishi walked in front and almost stepped on one. He stopped his feet and stared at the mess on the ground, his eyebrows twitching.
Before leaving, he had clearly stuffed the information into his hands, but he didn't expect that the room would become such a mess after just a few minutes of leaving.
The next time you give yourself a concave shape, you have to take into account the factor of moving around after falling asleep... It would be great if you could get some props for long-distance control of the body, so that one person can be used as two people.
.
Conan looked at Shiraishi's back at the door and took half a step back silently, a little worried that this ill-tempered old man would take his anger out on him.
But unexpectedly, after standing at the door for two seconds, Black Cat seemed to regain his composure. He walked into the box without saying a word, squatted down and picked up the copies on the ground one by one.
Conan was startled and touched his chin in surprise. It seemed that the black cat's temper was not as bad as he thought. He had been attacked by him in the museum before. Was it mainly because he wasted his time?
It was just a guess. Conan was embarrassed and just stood by. He walked into the box and helped pick up some.
At the same time, he took a look at the information and found that it was a serialization of "Resurrection! Detective Zuomonji", and some parts of it were marked with pencils.
What are you collecting these for?
Are some cases alluding to real murders? Or are the manuscripts used to imitate crimes? A series of conjectures quickly popped into Conan's mind.
Speaking of which, he hasn't read this book yet. He originally wanted to save it until all the serializations are finished, and then read the single volume directly... Conan held the loose pages of the novel and was looking at it, when a hand suddenly stretched out from the side and held his hand
The information inside was taken away.
Shiraishi walked to the single chair again, took out a few pages of paper that the main body was holding, rearranged the manuscripts in order, threw them to Conan, and said concisely: "The author of this novel has disappeared, and his manuscript is hidden in the manuscript.
S.O.S."
"Missing?!" Conan was shocked. He also loved reading the Detective Zuo Wenji series and had great respect for the author of the book. He didn't expect to encounter such a case this time.
After saying this, he remembered a doubt that he subconsciously ignored - he seemed to be just a six-year-old primary school student, and he didn't understand such a complicated matter as reading passwords. Why did Black Cat think he could help?
Although these two people are too well-informed, and although they often forget to pretend to be children... they probably won't believe it when adults become smaller...
Conan was sweating as he thought about it. Just as he was about to ask an insinuating question, he saw the man in black casually hanging his hat on the coat rack by the door and pushing the door open.
He left too simply. When Conan came to his senses and chased him out, wanting to at least ask about the details of this case, he saw that the corridor was empty and there was no one left.
"Alas..." Conan sighed tiredly and returned to the room with a pair of dead eyes.
...Thinking about the worst, Shiraishi and Black Cat can even find out that his parents are disguised as men in black. It might not be as difficult as imagined to find out that he is Kudo Shinichi.
Although he did not directly point out the parent-child relationship between the two and Conan when he revealed the identity of the Kudo couple just now, he always felt...
"Alas..." Another sigh.
Being a neighbor with such a person, although the safety factor is high, is really stressful, and there is no secret at all... After coming to this conclusion, Conan held his chin weakly, holding the information Shiraishi gave him, and moved a
He sat down on a small stool and began to analyze.
Since Shiraishi and the others are investigating this matter, it means that the case may be very dangerous. If it is delayed for a while, the author may die.
While recalling the Zuomonji series he had read before, he guessed what kind of clues the new name Rentaro hid in it.
Before immersing himself in solving the puzzle, Conan also hesitated whether to call his parents to make sure he was safe.
But first of all, he didn't have money to call a public phone, and secondly...hehe, since he was so ruthless to make his son suffer so badly, then it wouldn't be a big deal if his son turned him around.
Conan, who was busy, did not notice that two or three meters away, the "sleeping" man opened his eyes and glanced at him secretly.
After realizing that he was turning over the book and concentrating on solving the puzzle and had no intention of escaping, Shiraishi closed his eyes again.
If he woke up now, if Conan wanted to discuss the case with him and he couldn't explain the reason, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?
Running outside as a cat was quite tiring, and lying down was boring, so Shiraishi actually took a nap.
After a while, he heard a creak of a chair in the room. When he opened his eyes, he saw Conan grabbing the manuscript and standing up suddenly.
Result out?
Shiraishi yawned, sat up, looked at Conan standing next to him, and asked in surprise: "Why are you here?"
"This is a long story. Let's talk about it later."
Conan took the initiative to jump over this topic. He showed the stack of manuscripts to Shiraishi, his expression not very good, "We have to call the police as soon as possible, time is running out."
Although he knew that his new name, Rentaro, had not been kidnapped, Shiraishi also became serious due to the needs of the character.
Sure enough, after seeing his expression, Conan quickly explained without waiting for further questioning:
"The story of this unit is called "The Summit of 1/2", so the password is the two words at the top combined into one word... You must already know this, so I won't go into details. The key lies in the location of Mr. Shinname's incarnation.
——”
"In this sequel, Mr. Shinname writes himself into the book. This is a phenomenon that has never happened before, and the location of 'Rintaro Shinname' in the article is France.
"This is actually a hint of language habits. In French, the 'h' at the beginning of the word is not pronounced, so when interpreting the code, we must also exclude words with 'h'."
Shiraishi nodded in a dignified manner, sometimes thoughtfully, sometimes suddenly enlightened - this is the initial skill that any theater master should possess.
Although he had basically no idea what Conan was talking about, fortunately, Conan was very conscious of being a reasoning machine and spit out the answer directly.
"The first hidden code word is 'hurry up and save me'."
After saying that, Conan flipped to the next chapter and spelled it out word by word: "Then...'I am currently at the Cupido City Hotel'."
"'Room 2407.'"
"The last and latest chapter." Conan pointed to the dialogue: "He is saying 'Hurry up, there is no time'... When was this chapter published?"
"Yesterday, but it must have been sent to the publishing house earlier." Shiraishi said and stood up, thinking that the new name Rentaro was quite accurate in saving the manuscript, and the last chapter happened to coincide with the time when he was about to die.
He glanced at the countdown of hours left on the screen, stood up and put on his coat: "Let's go over and have a look."
