Mouri Kogoro and Conan looked at the position of their bodies and understood what Qin Zhibo was talking about.
"Ahem..."
The two of them got off Qin Zhibo's shoulders in a tacit understanding, and Qin Zhibo spread out the manuscript of the novel in his hand on the coffee table for everyone to watch.
In the manuscript of the third chapter, the new name Rentaro wrote himself as a character in the novel's dialogue, and combined with the secret word solution of merging the first words in pairs + removing the silent H, new content was obtained.
"Wu,hu,shi,li,big,restaurant..."
"What kind of hotel is this?"
Mouri Kogoro, who couldn't pretend to be in front of the beautiful woman, scratched his head irritably again.
Qin Zhibo next to him gave the correct solution to the secret word in a timely manner.
"It should be interpreted using Japanese Roman characters. The first wood is interpreted as Fu. In this case, the 'no' next to the wood does not need to be removed according to the silent H rule."
"In other words, the (Kubo)to City Hotel is the correct answer."
Qin Zhibo just glanced at it and then figured out the answer, which shocked Conan next to him.
The new name Rentaro adds new rules to the password in each episode. The purpose is to make his kidnappers unable to understand the true meaning of the password and thus relax their vigilance.
However, Qin Zhibo solved such complicated rules with increasing secret codes at a glance!
Fortunately, Qin Zhibo is a good person. If this talent is used for evil...
Among the few remaining manuscripts, there is only one dialogue in which the new character Rentaro appears.
Based on this conversation, Kogoro Mouri finally interpreted the correct meaning without being fooled into any tricks.
"Two, four, zero, seven, room..."
"I understand! Mr. Shinname is now in Room 2407 of the Cupido Hotel!"
"Yo Xi, let's rush there now!"
As soon as Mouri Kogoro stood up energetically, he found that Qin Zhibo had arrived at the door of the publishing house with his new name Xiang Baoli, followed by Conan and Maori Lan.
It turned out that the others had already followed Qin Zhibo, who could decipher the code at a glance based on the investigation points, and were preparing to leave.
"Dad, we have to leave."
Maori Lan at the door turned around and called Maori Kogoro.
"Hey! Wait for me!" Mouri Kogoro quickly stood up, walked to the door and turned back to the editor, "Call the police immediately!"
After Kogoro Mouri left, the editor walked to the table without realizing it. Just as he was about to pick up the phone to call the police, the phone suddenly rang.
The editor picked up the phone out of habit, and the person on the other end of the phone started talking to himself with a Kansai accent.
"I have solved the code left by my new name Rentaro, please call the police immediately!"
“In the dialogue when the character Mr. Shinname appears in the first chapter of the book, the hidden message is ‘please save me quickly’.”
"I haven't deciphered the code behind it yet, but I can basically confirm that Mr. Shinname is currently being held captive somewhere and is being forced to write this novel."
"Since this is a brand new masterpiece that has been restarted after several years, the gangster is likely to be an avid mystery fan..."
Hattori Heiji held "Half of the Summit" in one hand and a landline phone in the other hand and confidently spoke out his reasoning.
But before he could finish his reasoning, the editor of the publishing house opposite interrupted Hattori Heiji.
"Actually... we already know what you said just now."
"Not only that, we also know that the subsequent code refers to the fact that Mr. Shinna is imprisoned in a certain room in the Aipido Hotel."
"The detectives are already heading that way now."
Hattori Heiji: "Huh?"
I was originally confident that I could decipher this code, and that it should be the only copy of the scorpion daddy in Japan, but I didn't expect that someone else would get in a little bit earlier.
And not as an avid reader, but as a detective...
The publishing house is in Tokyo, could it be that guy?
"Is the detective you are talking about Kudo..." Hattori Heiji realized that he had made a mistake again and quickly corrected himself, "It's Kogoro Mori!"
"There is also a primary school student wearing glasses next to him! Right?"
The editor man replied: "Detective Maori is indeed accompanied by a primary school student wearing glasses, but the one who solved the code was another detective named Qin..."
The detective named Qin...
Hattori Heiji rubbed his messy hair, but he still couldn't figure out who this detective named Qin was.
But since Kudo is here, it must be...
"Is this detective named Qin doing his reasoning while sleeping?" Hattori Heiji asked again.
The editor was a little confused, but he still replied: "No, Mr. Qin was very awake when reasoning. Not only can he speak, but he can also move..."
Forehead...
Hattori Heiji immediately thought of another possibility and said: "That is someone giving him a hint, right?"
"Is he that kid with glasses? He uses that cute tone of voice like 'Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah,' or something like that..."
The editor man replied again: "No... Actually, Mr. Qin has been reminding Detective Maori and the elementary school student..."
When he heard the editor's answer, Hattori Heiji was completely shocked.
There was actually a detective who figured out all the codes before me without accepting Kudo's prompts.
This is impossible!
Not scientific either!
"Hello? Hello!"
Hattori Heiji picked up the phone to continue asking for details about the detective surnamed Qin, but the other person had already hung up the phone.
The reason is very simple, because the editor man also wants to call the police as soon as possible.
...
Aipido Municipal Hotel is actually Aipido City Hotel.
Qin Zhibo was no stranger to this place. He had been here once when he was an "undercover" on the Naosha website.
Now I'm back to my old place again.
Just as the taxi stopped, the police vehicle arrived.
The group of people took the elevator to the 24th floor. Officer Megure first took a position on the side of the door. The remaining policemen drew their guns and prepared, with Wataru Takagi acting as a bait to let the gangster inside open the door.
Takagi Wataru took a deep breath and pressed the doorbell.
Ding dong~ding dong~
"Who?"
A man's voice came from behind the door.
No FBI, open the door, Takagi Wataru replied in a gentle tone: "The room service you ordered has arrived."
"Oh, here it comes."
The person behind the door didn't suspect anything, which made everyone feel happy.
With a click, the inner door lock was turned open. Before the door handle could be fully turned, Officer Memu grabbed the door handle and pushed the door open.
The police swarmed up. Officer Megure was responsible for taking out the police manual, and the other police officers were responsible for taking out their guns.
However...
Lying on the bed, Aina Rentaro first saw Aina Kahori standing behind the police, and said in surprise: "Kahori!"
Immediately, next to his daughter, the new name Rentaro saw an even more unexpected person.
"Qin!"
Conan, who was lower down, moved his ears and heard...
