Ke Xue: Shinichi and I are childhood friends.

Arriving at 1506, Youya rang the doorbell.

It seemed that Keiko Anzhi had been waiting for a long time and came to open the door immediately.

"welcome."

She was a little surprised to see people like this outside the door: "Ah, besides your girlfriend, you also brought other people."

Kudo Shinichi smiled awkwardly: "I hadn't planned on it, but when I told you I was coming to see you, I came along. Is that too much of a bother?"

"No," Akachi Keiko smiled and shook her head, "It's more lively when there are more people."

Sera Masumi put one hand on his waist and said confidently, "Leave the secret code to me!"

"Huh?" Keiko Arachi was a little surprised.

Suzuki Sonoko came up to her enthusiastically and introduced her: "This girl is also a detective, a female high school detective!"

Arachi Keiko showed a surprised expression: "That's very reliable. With three detectives here, they will definitely be able to crack the code."

Mao Lilan struggled for a moment and asked the question she had always wanted to ask: "Um, Miss Anzhi, why do you always wear a hat?"

It's understandable outside, like changing clothes or blocking the sun, but it's not necessary indoors, right?

Anzhi Keiko touched her hat and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I accidentally fell while filming a movie and got a bump on my head."

Suzuki Sonoko asked in surprise: "Could it be the movie that will be released this weekend?"

Before Keiko Kurachi could answer, a dark-skinned man walked out of the room opposite.

"That's right, the red Shura Tengu," Izumi Hayabusa pointed at himself with his thumb and winked at everyone. "It's an ancient fantasy drama starring me! You must come and see it. After all, my acting is the biggest selling point of the movie~"

Suddenly seeing another star, the star-chasing experts Suzuki Sonoko and Mao Li Ran showed surprised smiles.

"No, no, no," a man with glasses and a goatee walked out of the room. "Isn't the selling point of the movie the work of a famous director like me?"

This man is from Mashanzuo, and as he said, he is the director of this film.

"No, no, no," another gray-haired man appeared. It was Agata Riki, the composer. "My music is the biggest selling point of this movie."

"What are you talking about? Of course I'm the lead actor!"

“No, no…”

The three of them started arguing about the selling points of the movie, but the atmosphere was good, everyone had smiles on their faces, and most of the conversation was joking.

Yuya asked quietly, "Aunt Jingzi, are these people all your classmates? They are all celebrities in various fields!"

An Zhijingzi smiled and said, "Yes, they were all my bad friends in college."

Kudo Shinichi wasn't very interested in these things and asked urgently, "By the way, what's the code you mentioned?"

Keiko Anzhi clapped her hands and almost forgot about this matter, but the secret code was with the screenwriter, so everyone came to 1502 together.

Screenwriter Ximu took out a piece of paper and said, "This is the code someone sent me last week. There was also a dried leaf of the genus Fagus sylvatica in the envelope."

Kudo Shinichi took the code paper and began to look at it. Yuya leaned over to take a look. There were some crooked words written on the paper with a lot of spaces between each word.

At the very beginning of the text, there is a large square composed of four small black squares.

Kudo Shinichi pointed to the square and asked Nishiki if he knew the meaning of the shape.

Actor Hayamori Ike also said that this was the mark of a man named Izuri, and that he was probably the one who came up with this code.

Sera Masumi wondered, since we know who wrote the code, wouldn't it be more convenient to ask the person directly?

However, this Ikuri committed suicide by jumping off the stage of Kiyomizu-dera Temple a while ago. Nishiki suspected that this code was Ikuri's last words to him before he committed suicide.

Because she couldn't find the person to ask, Keiko Kurachi planned to ask Yusaku Kudo for help. Unfortunately, Yusaku Kudo was abroad and happened to meet Yuya and Shinichi Kudo here.

The two also happened to be famous high school detectives, so they were asked to crack the code.

At this time, Jing Hayabusa also said: "You guys, we are going to the restaurant to eat next. If you want to know more information, why don't you come over later?"

Kudo Shinichi looked at Yuya, who nodded slightly and agreed.

I Hayabusa, Moriya and the others had to go back to their rooms first, so Yuya and the others went downstairs first.

Several people found a place to sit down and began to analyze the code.

However, the arrangement of these words has no pattern, the spaces between words are very large, and some words are even mirror images. There is absolutely no clue at all.

Masumi Sera bought a bottle of oolong tea from the vending machine, unscrewed the lid and took a sip. Then, looking at the code paper spread out on the table, he said, "I think the blank spaces between these words must have some special meaning."

Yuya propped up his chin and said, "These mirrored words are also a bit worrying."

Mao Lilan asked, "Shinichi, what are the golden tung leaves that were sent with it?"

Miyano Shiho explains: "The leaves of the golden tung tree resemble open hands, with some being over 20 centimeters wide, very similar to a cattail leaf fan. Hence, it is also known as the 'Tengu's Feather Fan.'"

Mao Lilan asked in a daze: "Is Tengu's feather fan the thing that Tengu often holds?"

Miyano Shiho nodded in affirmation.

Yuya looked over in surprise: "Mio, you also know this?"

Miyano Shiho smiled faintly: "I just happened to see it."

Kudo Shinichi pinched his chin. "Is there any connection between the octagonal golden plate... Tengu... and the secret code?"

At this moment, his cell phone rang with a message.

Kudo Shinichi took out his phone and looked at it, then said awkwardly, "It's a message from Aunt Keiko. I'm so embarrassed. The code hasn't been solved yet..."

He opened the message and showed a surprised expression - it only said: Shinichi, come to Ximu's room quickly!

A bad premonition arose in Kudo Shinichi's heart.

Seeing Kudo Shinichi's expression, Miyano Shiho's expression froze - she knew that this school trip would not be peaceful!

She looked at Yuya with some concern.

As a detective, Yuya keenly sensed the case. Facing Miyano Shiho's concern, he shook her hand and whispered, "It's okay, I'm here."

Everyone rushed to 1502, and Keiko Anzhi and others gathered at the door of 1502.

"Aunt Jingzi, what happened?!" He ran over and took a look, then froze in his tracks.

Yuya followed and took a look, his pupils shrinking slightly——

The screenwriter Ximu, who had just spoken to them, was seen falling down from his chair, and it was obvious that he had died.

There were also a lot of papers scattered on the floor of the room.
