Chapter 1044: Granny Jing's anagram
Saturday, February 23rd, afternoon.
Ayumi took Conan, Motota, and Mitsuhiko to find Granny Jing and help her feed the cats, but the cats were all fed, and Granny Jing still didn't show up.
Although Granny Jing said she was going to Izu, Ayumi still had something, so she decided to go to Granny Jing's house, which was located in a cheap apartment nearby. ……
Granny Jing's house.
Ayumi knocked on the door and found that no one was at home, and an old woman happened to be passing by, so she inquired and learned that Granny Jing did not come back at noon.
Guessing that Granny Jing went to Izu in the morning, Ayumi and the four returned to the cat park and found a cat wearing a scarf.
"It seems to be Granny Jing's scarf. Ayumi hurriedly stepped forward and took off the scarf, only to find that there were many Japanese characters on the scarf, and there was a dark red mark next to it.
"This is ......" Conan buckled some on the trace, put it under his nose and rubbed it, and his face changed greatly when he smelled it, "It's blood!"
"What!" Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Motota were taken aback.
Conan said heavily: "My mother-in-law may be locked up somewhere, so she can only use a scarf to send a message for help." ”
Yuan Tai asked, "Distress information?"
Mitsuhiko asked in surprise, "Could it be that these Japanese characters are codes?"
Ayumi asked, "So, could it be that you can't move after being injured?"
Conan said, "In that case, you should write down where you are, and write it like this, just because you can't read it if the prisoner sees it." ”
"If you understand it, the prisoner will take it away when he sees it, right?" Yuan Tai said with a smile, "If the prisoner doesn't know that this is a distress message, then he is too stupid." ”
Mitsuhiko said: "That is to say, what kind of code to write, just write the address." ”
Conan said, "If I'm not mistaken, this code is addressed to Ayumi." ”
"Me?" Ayumi asked.
"That's right, didn't you say that Granny Jing gave you an anagram book? Conan said.
"I see. Ayumi said, "Speaking of which, Granny Jing once asked me to guess that Japanese characters plus one stroke become an anagram of other words." Then he took out the pamphlet and flipped through it.
Me, Bai, Tian, Old, You, Jia, Dan, Shen, Ayumi found eight words and wrote them down on the paper one by one, but the four of them couldn't figure out their meaning for a while, and Ayumi didn't know much about Granny Jing, and the four of them cut off the clue at once.
At this time, the young man who was living in the car passed by, and Conan stepped forward to him and asked, "Now, do you know about Granny Jing?"
The young man said angrily, "Go to the side, boy, I don't have time to pay attention to you." ”
Yuan Tai said: "Hey, now Granny Jing has an accident. ”
Mitsuhiko said, "If you know, tell us." ”
"What does that old woman have to do with me. The young man gloated, "It's good that she won't show up in the future." ”
"How can you do that. Ayumi burst into tears.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then noticed that the people around him were looking at him together, and hurriedly said, "Hey, don't cry, it's like what I did to you." ”
"Then you can say it quickly. Ayumi said with tears in her eyes.
"It's bad luck for you guys to come with me. The young man said, and then took the four Ayumi to his RV.
The RV is a trailer, the carriage is about eight meters long, with satellite TV, refrigerators, kitchen utensils and other electrical equipment, as well as bathing toilets, using the park's water and electricity to maintain, although the inside is messy, but it is still clean.
Seeing Yuan Tai and Mitsuhiko looking around, the young man smiled proudly: "How about it, my RV is good, let me tell you, this is much cheaper than living in an apartment." ”
Conan said angrily, "Say it quickly, we still have to save people." ”
"Really, don't worry. The young man said, and then asked, "I heard you say in the morning that you are a boy detective, isn't that so?"
Yuan Tai said proudly: "That's right, we are the Young Detective Corps." ”
"Good. The young man laughed, "Detective's words, this ......" said and rubbed his fingers.
Conan puffed up his triangular eyes, please, we're kids.
"What do you mean?" Mitsuhiko asked.
"You don't understand this?" said the young man helplessly, "You don't understand this, what kind of detective are you going to be." Then he said, "Okay, let me tell you, you're asking for information, and of course you'll have to pay for it." ”
"Huh?" Motota, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko were taken aback.
"Ahh "Anyway," said the young man, "either pay or leave and find someone else." ”
"Look at this," Mitsuhiko said, flashing her scarf, "Granny Jing has left a code on it, and there are blood stains on it, she must be trapped somewhere, and we have to rescue her." ”
The young man laughed, "Then you can go to the police and see what they say." ”
Conan asked, "Granny Jing didn't come home at noon, do you know where else she went?"
The young man said, "How do I know this, it will take a day to go missing, maybe somewhere to go for a walk." ”
"Mother-in-law, maybe, maybe she will ......" Ayumi cried again.
"Now that no one is looking, you can cry slowly," said the young man, "anyway, what happened to her is her problem, it has nothing to do with me, no matter what happens to her, I still have to live my life." ”
"Ayumi, let's go. Mitsuhiko said angrily, "We don't ask this cold-blooded guy, let's go find someone else." ”
Yuan Tai got angry and said, "Yes, there must be other people who know about Granny Jing." ”
"Then go and look for it slowly, I don't know if you have enough time?" said the young man, "and let me tell you one more fact, in the time we are talking, I am afraid that many people in the world have died as a result of murder, and you are neither Superman nor Saiyan, and no matter how much blood you have, you will not be able to save them." ”
Conan said, "You're right, but we'll save those we can." ”
"Then save me first," said the young man, "and behold, you have given me the money, and you have saved me, and you have received information that you may save Granny Jing, and then you will be satisfied in your hearts, and you will be counted in one fell swoop." ”
Conan was speechless, and then collected his thoughts, "Okay, how much do you want?"
The young man laughed, "That's right." ”
Conan said, "Let me first affirm that we are children and do not have much money. ”
The young man laughed, "I know you are children, so I won't embarrass you, I just want 90 percent of your cash now, isn't that too much? ”
Conan, Ayumi, Mitsuhiko, and Motota reluctantly took out their respective wallets, poured out the money inside, and then counted out 90 percent, a total of more than 5,000 yen and put it on the table.
The young man laughed, "Detectives are rich, even children. ”
Ayumi said, "I'll give it to you when you say it." ”
Yuan Tai said: "We need to know all the things about Granny Jing. ”
"Well, you're not enough. The young man laughed.
Mitsuhiko said, "Then tell me what you know." ”
The young man said, "That's fine, I'll tell you what I know." ”
Yuan Tai said: "Then you can say it quickly." ”
The young man said: "After Granny Jing's wife died, she lived alone, and then took care of each other with an old man surnamed Ezaki, I heard that the old man Ezaki was quite rich, and the two often went on trips. ”
"That's right, that Dan word. Ayumi said, "Dan may be referring to her husband, Mr. Ezaki." ”
Mitsuhiko said, "It seems that this matter has something to do with Mr. Ezaki. ”
The young man said: "Old man Ezaki, about a month ago, he slipped and fell while taking a shower at home, and it was gone, and the police who listened to the investigation said that his head hit the faucet, and it didn't matter if he was unlucky, but he died, and Granny Jing had nothing to do, so she got a lot of cats to pass the time, but it made me miserable." ”
Yuan Tai said: "Now the clue is broken again. ”
The young man said, "That's all I know, if you want to know anything, ask me, and tell you what I know." ”
Ayumi said, "Everyone, let's go to Mr. Ezaki's house to have a look, maybe Granny Jing has gone there." ”
The young man said, "Old man Ezaki's house, it is occupied by Old Man Ezaki's nephew, that guy is very cunning, Granny Jing shouldn't go there." ”
"Treacherous?" asked Genta.
The young man said, "Yes, that guy often pretends to visit the old man Ezaki, but in fact, he has always coveted the property of the old man Ezaki, especially the valuable antique of the old man Ezaki, the wood carving of the early Edo period, and the white-eyed Gengshen three apes. ”
"White-eyed Gengshen three apes. Conan read.
"Ah, there's a white character in it, and there's a Shen character in it. Yuan Tai exclaimed, "Isn't that what you are talking about?"
"More than these two, Gengshen Sanape doesn't speak, don't watch, and don't listen. Mitsuhiko said, "There are also the characters for eyes and fields." ”
"Tian Zi?" Ayumi asked.
Mitsuhiko said with a smile: "The word Tian can be seen as a fork in the mouth, but don't say it." ”
"I see. Yuan Tai said.
"Mitsuhiko, you're amazing. Ayumi praised.
"It's fine. Mitsuhiko was a little embarrassed.
"No, that word A is not to say ape. Conan frowned and said, "This Tian character may mean extinguishing the mouth." ”
"Extinguish?" Ayumi and the others were taken aback.
"That's right," said Conan, "I think that's how those eight words are spelled." ”
Old, Dan, You, Shen, Mu, A, Bai, Tian, Conan explained after putting it together, the death of the previous husband was because of the white-eyed Gengshen three apes, and I saw the things on the eyes of the ape and was extinguished.
Motota asked, "What?
Conan said, "It's the thing on the scarf, the bloodstain." ”
Mitsuhiko asked, "Is the murderer Mr. Ezaki's nephew?"
"Then let's call the police. Ayumi said.
Mitsuhiko asked, "But what we say, will the police believe us?"
Yuan Tai asked, "What should I do then?"
"Look what you say as if it were true. The young man said, "Well, I'll take you to Ezaki's house for free." ”
"Thank you then. Conan said. ……
