Chapter 738 Takagi Miwako
Conan relied on his petite figure to easily climb over the partition wall between the balconies of the two apartments and stood on the balcony next door.
As Reina Mizuna said, no one lives in the apartment next door, and there is not even furniture in the house. But soon Conan discovered something unusual.
How can a room that has been vacant for a long time be spotless?
The floor was as clean as if it had been mopped not long ago, someone had obviously cleaned the place before. And that person was probably cleaning to cover up something, such as his footprints.
In addition, Conan also found that the window sill of the balcony was also very clean. From this, it can be inferred that the person who invaded the unused apartment was also active near the balcony.
etc!
Conan's eyes fell on the glass, and something seemed to be written there.
He breathed lightly against the glass, and a row of small characters appeared in front of his eyes. Considering the possibility of a secret code, Conan immediately remembered its pronunciation.
"I saw a line of writing on the balcony glass of the apartment next door, pronounced ki mi wa." Conan said to Mouri Kogoro and the others after coming out.
"Ki mi wa?" Mouri Kogoro was stunned, "What's going on with the fake name?"
Conan asked Reina Mizuno for a piece of paper and wrote the words he saw: "That's what it says, Kumiwa."
"Oh, it turns out to be ki bi wa." Mouri Kogoro's first thought when he saw the text was also a code. He used his imagination to start guessing, "Thursday? Beauty? Japanese cuisine?"
"Huh?" Mao Lilan looked at her father, "Who did you make an appointment with to go to a Japanese restaurant on Thursday?"
Mouri Kogoro focused on the code and replied absently: "No one, but it would be great if Miss Minashi is willing to show her favor."
Mao Lilan put her hands on her hips angrily and complained: "Dad, do you know what you are talking about?!"
In response, Mizuno Reina could only smile awkwardly.
"きびわ...Kibi words?" Fabian guessed, "Could this text refer to a place name? Because I just saw some information near the keyhole."
Conan's eyes lit up: "I know, maybe it's not the name of the place but..."
However, the child's persuasiveness was really poor, and no one listened to him at all. Mouri Kogoro believed in the judgment of his disciples.
Almost as soon as Fabian finished speaking, Mouri Kogoro had already walked over. He asked with concern: "What information?"
"Please look here." Fabian pointed to the keyhole of Rena Minami's apartment and said, "I found some unclear scratches here. At first, I guessed that someone might want to knock into Miss Mizuno's room. doors, but then I thought they were more like deliberate messages from a peeping tom."
Mouri Kogoro stared at the keyhole for a long time but found nothing: "Isn't this an ordinary scratch? The key can easily leave marks on the door lock when opening the door."
"But how come the traces left unintentionally are so regular?"
Mouri Kogoro nodded confusedly.
Fabian said seriously: "These traces are long and short, which is consistent with the characteristics of Morse code. However, if you only analyze it according to Morse code, you can only get garbled results. So I think this password uses double encryption." method, the second encryption is likely to use the principle of Caesar shift or barrier cipher..."
Nobuhiro hid his face and yawned.
Conan saw it and held back his laughter and said, "Brother Asano doesn't agree with brother West's reasoning?"
"No, how could that be?" Nobuhiro spread his hands, "It's just that what he said is beyond my understanding."
"You don't know Morse code, Caesar shift and fence cipher?" Conan looked suspicious, "Don't be kidding, I don't think there is anything you don't know."
He came closer and asked in a low voice: "What did you and Mr. West discover just now?"
"Nothing, but you'd better stay away from that person if you can."
Conan frowned: "Why? Huihara Ai also said the same."
"What?" In shock, Shui Wulian's voice was a little sharp, "You mean the message left by the stalker is a death threat, and he wants to eat me?"
Xinfan looked back when he heard the sound, and Sui Wu Reina was so frightened by Fabian West's words that her face turned pale. Her reaction didn't look like she was just faking it. If Reina Mizuno's acting skills weren't superb enough, then she was really facing a death threat.
Nobushige reminded in a subtle way: "Miss Mizuno, if you have really encountered some scary people or things recently, it is best not to live in such a remote place."
Shui Wulian reluctantly twitched the corner of his mouth: "Well, if it is really dangerous, I will consider your suggestion."
"Hey, Brother Asano, you haven't answered me yet!" Conan pulled Nobushige's sleeve and complained in a low voice, "Why on earth?"
Nobushige was a little irritated by his harassment, so he could only say: "Because he is a foreigner, right? Maybe he is a spy from another country, lurking around Mr. Mori, intending to steal the secrets of the Metropolitan Police Department."
"..." Conan was speechless for a while, and after a while he sighed, "Brother Asano, you have such a rich imagination."
"Could the stalker be this person named Kumiwa?" Reina Mizuno frowned and said, "I think Komiwa is a very similar name."
Conan quickly echoed: "Yes, yes, that's what I wanted to say just now. Don't you think Miwa Miwa can be expanded to Miwako Takagi?"
As soon as Takagi Miwako's name came out, everyone was stunned.
Mizuno Reina asked doubtfully: "Who is Takagi Miwako, someone you know?"
A smile flashed in Mao Lilan's eyes: "This should be a combination of two names, or in other words, my surname is named after him."
"Huh? You mean Takagi and Sato?" Mouri Kogoro almost couldn't hold back his laughter, "But why did that peeping tom write Sato Miwako on the glass?"
When used as a personal name, the pronunciation of Kimiwa is no longer kibiwa, but kimiwa. This is also the reason why Conan initially pronounced it wrong.
"You only need to call the Metropolitan Police Department to find out this problem." Conan took out his mobile phone and dialed the Metropolitan Police Department's landline.
The call was answered by Officer Megure. After Conan stated his intention, he inexplicably transferred the call to Takagi Wataru through the internal line.
"Brother Takagi, have you ever performed surveillance missions in the apartment here in Cupido Town before?" Conan asked.
Takagi Wataru blurted out: "How do you know?! I clearly asked the apartment management to keep this matter confidential."
Conan showed a confident smile: "Because you left Officer Sato's name on the window, and it was still Takagi Miwako, right?"
