Stay away from Conan.

Facing Conan's rhetoric, Mori Kogoro on the side saw that since the phone had been hung up, he also felt that the Tokyo incident was not up to Osaka's Hattori Heiji, so he said seriously:
"Officer Megure, this is Tokyo, let's leave the kid in Osaka alone and solve it by ourselves!"

"Hahaha!"

In this regard, seeing Kogoro Mori's expression, Police Officer Megure couldn't help laughing, feeling that it was almost the same, and said:
"That's right...then, shouldn't you fall asleep too?"

"what?"

Immediately, hearing what police officer Megure said, Mouri Kogoro looked bewildered and said in puzzlement:

"How can I solve the case if I fall asleep?"

"It's just a metaphor!"

In this regard, Police Officer Megure continued to explain with a smile:
"When you solved the case before, didn't you seem to have a sudden inspiration, and then you seemed to fall asleep and started reasoning? So you will feel it now?"

"Oh, that's not yet..."

Blinking, Mori Kogoro said helplessly, and then became serious, picked up the manuscript in his hand, and continued to look:

"The problem lies in the dialogue of the character that Mr. Shinna created based on himself in the novel...Through the interpretation of his dialogue, the code can be deciphered. However, according to the hint of the title 'A Vertex of One-Half', although it can be Unravel the content of the first dialogue, but after such a rule, the subsequent dialogues cannot be interpreted in a smooth sentence, what the hell..."

"Yeah, even if I read through all the plots from the first appearance of this character to the second appearance of this character, I didn't find any other hints that seemed to suggest a solution, and suddenly I couldn't interpret it in the original way. Now, what's going on here?"

Regarding this, Conan on the side also felt anxiously thinking——

"Could it be that the gangsters who imprisoned Mr. Xinming discovered the first part of the code used to call for help, so as a last resort, Mr. Xinming changed the way of interpretation in order to prevent the gangsters from noticing the problem?"

With a solemn face, Officer Mumu analyzed seriously.

"If the gangster is really a fan of Mr. Xinming's book, it is impossible for Mr. Xinming to make an unusual declaration at the front of the book and the appearance of a character based on the author himself. That is to say, it is very likely that the gangster It has been discovered that Mr. Xinming wants to use this to ask for help from the outside world, so after that, before the gangster faxed the manuscript to the editorial department, he might have changed the paragraph with the code word!"

At this moment, Kogoro Mori looked at the unintelligible content in front of him, and couldn't help making such an analysis, and then said:

"Officer Megure, I think it is impossible to decipher the content of these conversations. If we want to rescue Mr. Xinming, we can only find other ways to search!"

So, very seriously, Mori Kogoro advised.

"Ah."

Nodding his head, Police Officer Megure felt that Mori Kogoro's words made sense, so he thought of dispatching a large number of police forces to start the search——

However, at this moment, the fax machine in the editorial office had a movement, and the latest manuscript about the novel "The Vertex of Half" was sent over at this time.

"Huh? Why at this time..."

But at this moment, seeing that the content was the latest serialized manuscript of the novel, the editor-in-chief of the editorial department was suddenly surprised——

"What's wrong?"

Urgent, seeing the surprised look on the editor-in-chief, Conan hurriedly asked.

To this, the editor-in-chief replied:

"Because, the teacher's serial manuscripts are delivered on time at midnight on Saturday every week, and there is no time error. But, why is it still in the daytime..."

"Show us!"

After realizing that something was wrong, Kogoro Mori couldn't help stepping forward, took the manuscript from the fax machine, and began to search for the passages of dialogue that might contain secret codes, and after finding the pages of relevant passages, he put The rest of the paper was left on the fax machine.

As for this, Conan also anxiously wanted to read it, but due to his height, he couldn't see the manuscript that Mori Kogoro was standing and holding in his hand.

So, there was no other way, Conan could only look at the contents of the rest of the manuscripts that were left on the fax machine, and then——

"The puzzle has been solved, thanks to the wise Gao Yuan who fulfilled my wish..."

Suddenly, at the end of the manuscript, Conan saw this sentence written in the last appendix, and couldn't help but read it in surprise——

"what!"

"Smart brother!"

Immediately, as soon as this remark came out, Mori Kogoro, Officer Megure, and the rest of the people here were startled, and then they couldn't help coming to Conan, and took a look at the content of the last page, and indeed saw At the end of this manuscript, in the postscript, such words were left.

So, although he was puzzled, Officer Mu Mu immediately took out his mobile phone and contacted Gao Yuan...

……

"So, in the end, we have been thinking about the follow-up code for a long time and haven't solved it. Brother Detective just read the serialized novels and knew the answer directly?"

During the holiday a few days later, at the Shinkansen station in Osaka, after Conan, Ran, and Kogoro Mori got off the train, they met Heiji Hattori who had been waiting for them earlier this time.

As for the code issue concerning the novel "A Vertex of Half" that day, Hattori Heiji took advantage of the opportunity to walk out of the station, and couldn't help asking Conan to find out about the situation, and then learned the general situation afterwards, and immediately couldn't help but said with emotion.

"That's right. The daughter of Mr. Xinming, who is Miss Xinming Xiangbaoli who entrusted Mr. Zhiming to investigate the whereabouts of Mr. Xinming, saw Mr. Zhiming's brief reading of the magazines, and immediately knew about Mr. Xinming. The whereabouts. Because Mr. Xinming suffers from terminal cancer, he wanted to fulfill his last wish before he died, and hoped that some readers would interpret the truth first before he gave the answer, so at the last time of his life, he willfully planned this incident...

"In the end, Mr. Wise has fulfilled his wish and let this mystery novelist die without regret."

Regarding this, Conan couldn't help explaining with some regret.

"That's it..."

Also feeling a little emotional, Hattori Heiji couldn't help saying:
"But I still don't understand. The follow-up interpretation, we can't understand it according to the original rules?"

"Because there are hidden clues."

Conan explained:
"In the novel, the character created by Mr. Xinming based on himself lives in France, which is actually a reminder that the subsequent interpretation should take into account the rules of French, that is, the initial 'H' is not pronounced. In this way, the subsequent dialogue can also be interpreted.”

"So that's how it is..."

Regarding this, Hattori Heiji nodded silently, then seemed to remember something, and couldn't help asking:
"By the way, where's the little detective? Didn't he agree to come and play? Why didn't he come with you?"

"He didn't take the same bus as us, so he will probably arrive later."

Conan couldn't help but explain.

"Really……"

In this way, with some understanding, Hattori Heiji took Conan and others and walked towards the outside of the station first——

"Then, this trip to Osaka, let me take you around first!"

As Hattori Heiji said, he couldn't help but took the lead and walked outside the station, leading the crowd to a police car... (End of this chapter)
