Chapter 147 The Detective’s Word Game (Part 1)
Mao Lilan's face changed drastically. She gripped the microphone and asked loudly: "Who are you?! What did you do to Mr. Asano?"
Her reaction was so violent that Conan and Mouri Kogoro immediately realized the seriousness of the matter.
Oops, the most undesirable situation has occurred!
At Conan's signal, Mao Lilan turned on the hands-free phone, and the unpleasant voice echoed clearly in the room: "He is still alive, but if you move slower, I'm afraid I can't guarantee it."
hateful! !
Before Conan could do anything, Mouri Kogoro shouted into the receiver: "How do we know if Asano is really at your place? Let him answer the phone!"
"It's really troublesome." The man complained in a low voice.
After a brief pause, Conan's familiar voice came from the receiver.
Asano Nobushige's condition sounded pretty good: "Mr. Mori, I'm fine. I just need to prepare the 50 million yen as soon as possible. I remember I put a bank card in the office before, and the password was written on the card. , I would also like to trouble you to go to the bank."
"But on that card..." Two million at most.
Before Mouri Kogoro could finish his words, he was interrupted by Conan: "Okay, Brother Asano, do you have anything else to say?"
"And..."
I could vaguely hear the unpleasant voice over there yelling something, but Asano Nobushige still said calmly:
"According to the bank's work efficiency, I won't be able to go back until the evening at the earliest. In such a hot weather, the drinks on the table may stink. Can you please ask Miss Maori to clean them up for me? Ah, by the way, there's me too. I was a little anxious when I left, and the computer seemed to be turned off. In addition, so many guests were originally invited to attend the opening ceremony today, but I, the boss, was absent. I will definitely have to..."
Xinfan Balabala gave a lot of instructions, and the face of the kidnapper next to him became darker and darker.
Finally, the man couldn't help but yelled: "That's enough! Do you think I'm joking with you??" He grabbed the phone and shouted inside, "Now immediately follow the method Asano Nobushige said. Go get the money and bring it to the park gate next to Mihua University before evening. Don’t call the police, otherwise I will cancel the ticket immediately!”
After that, he hung up the phone with a bang.
In the Lufeng Music Classroom, Maori Kogoro and Maori Lan looked at each other, while Conan smiled helplessly.
As expected of Mr. Asano, he can remain calm even when encountering such a thing.
But is there really no problem? If the kidnapper is angered...
Conan was suddenly stunned. He remembered that he originally wanted to take a look at Mr. Asano's messy email.
Just now, Mr. Asano also specifically mentioned cups and emails. He put these two things at the front and said that those are the places where people's attention can be best concentrated.
What do the cups and mail represent?
Conan quickly climbed onto the chair and adjusted the laptop screen downwards.
Just as Mouri Kogoro said, what is shown on the screen is the interface of the mail. The sending address is empty, and there is nothing written in the subject. There are only a few English letters in the text.
"PINP..." Conan read out, "What does PINP mean?"
Mao Lilan turned around and asked: "Procollagen amino-terminal extension peptide?"
Conan: "..."
What? What is Protocolla Balabala Extension Peptide?
Facing the confused expressions of Conan and Mouri Kogoro, Mao Lilan smiled sheepishly and said: "I accidentally saw it on TV yesterday, but Mr. Asano shouldn't write such things, right? "
"No normal person would write something like this." Mouri Kogoro said irritably, "No matter what, call the police first. Really, the bank card he gave me clearly only had more than one million on it. Where should I get it? Fifty million in cash!”
"Well!" Mao Lilan immediately picked up the phone, "Maybe Officer Megu will have some ideas."
The sunshine outside the window was suddenly obscured by a burst of dark clouds, and the leaves of the street trees rustled in the wind.
Conan had no intention of paying attention to the weather changes. He stared at the PINP on the screen, racking his brains to figure out what it meant.
Mr. Asano would not leave such things on his computer for no reason. He has always attached great importance to privacy. He sets passwords on his mobile phone and other things. No matter how urgent it is, he will never forget to turn off electronic devices.
If English doesn't work, maybe it's Japanese...
Conan tried typing "pinp" using the Japanese input method and the result was ぴんp.
That obviously won't be the case.
He quickly remembered the dislocation method that was often used to encrypt telegrams in the past. If they were moved forward by one position, it would be "ohmo". What's more, it seemed wrong, and the backwards didn't seem right either.
The more Conan thought about it, the more depressed he became, and the more he thought about it, the more entangled he became.
Seeing that he was about to pull out her hair, Mao Lilan hurriedly came over to stop him: "The police will be here soon. Mr. Asano must be fine. Don't worry."
"Yeah." Conan responded perfunctorily, continuing to struggle with what "pinp" might mean.
Mao Lilan glanced at the screen and keyboard, and suddenly said: "I remember seeing Mr. Asano typing all by touch. Did he make a mistake and ended up like this?"
"Blind typing?" Conan was stunned for a moment, but then he immediately reacted, "Maybe it's not a typo, but the misalignment method used by Brother Asano is based on the keyboard!!"
He held the computer and started typing: "P is preceded by o, i is preceded by u, and n is preceded by b. In this case, the Japanese word for 'oubo' is おうぼApply!!"
Mouri Kogoro said disdainfully: "Asano doesn't need to find a job, so how can he apply for a job? You are just trying to trick me."
"Brother Asano doesn't have to look for a job, but he has been busy recruiting, maybe it has something to do with this!!"
Conan used his memory to find the file bag where Nobuhiro stored the applicant's resume.
It's no secret that the salary at Lufeng Music Classroom is good. Ever since Shinfan posted the recruitment information online, there has been an endless stream of people submitting resumes every day. It's just that he seems to be more inclined to recruit employees himself. The only one he has selected based on recruitment information is Sachiko Matsumoto.
Although the recruitment information seems like a decoration, he will still print out the applicant's resume information carefully and take a look at it when he has time. Conan thought Nobushige was serious about his work, but in fact he was just looking for familiar names.
If you can meet someone who will appear in the case, of course you should get to know them.
The resumes that have been accumulated for so many days are really too much. Conan looked at so much information and suddenly remembered that he had also read the information desperately during the monthly gift event.
Why is he always doing this kind of hard and tiring thing? ?
