Chapter 189 Giants Also Get Tired

Chapter 189 Giants get tired too…

Qin Zhibo invited everyone into the office.

Although they were only one block away, this was the first time that the Maori family had entered Qin Zhibo's detective agency.

Standing in the office, Conan looked around curiously at the layout of Zhibo's detective agency.

Overall, it was very simple, even a little concise.

There were no comfortable sofas, long coffee tables, or water dispensers in the office, but there was a chair opposite the boss chair in the office desk.

Coupled with a personal computer on the office desk, the atmosphere of this detective agency was not so much a business place, but more like an office in a public system.

Qin Zhibo invited Shinname Kaori to the only chair for guests, and smiled politely: "Please describe the specific circumstances of your father's disappearance."

"Okay, my father is"

According to Shinname Kaori's narration, Qin Zhibo gradually understood everything.

The beauty in front of him is the daughter of the mystery novelist Niina Rentaro. Her parents disappeared two months ago, so...

"Wait a minute, are you saying that two months before your father disappeared, your father sent you to deliver a letter to me?"

"Yes." Niina Kaori nodded.

"Is there no signature on that letter?" Qin Zhibo asked again.

"Yes." Niina Kaori nodded again, "My father said that I just need to give you this letter, and I don't need to tell you who wrote it to you. You will understand it naturally."

"But you were not in the office at the time, so I put the letter in the mailbox."

Qin Zhibo thought about it. When he came back after solving the case of the bandage monster, he did receive an unsigned letter in the mailbox.

And from the description of the owner of the women's clothing store, the person who delivered the letter is very similar to Niina Kaori in front of him.

But that happened a week ago!

Niina Kaori's father, Niina Rentaro, disappeared two months ago, and he sent his daughter to deliver this letter two months ago.

This timeline doesn't match up anyway.

However, given his extremely confused sense of time, Qin Zhibo didn't dare to stick to his words.

If the owner of the women's clothing store was here now, he could ask her to come up and identify whether the woman who delivered the letter was Shinname Kaori.

Unfortunately, the women's clothing store has been closed for a long time, and the owner is not here.

"To be honest, the letter your father sent to me has nothing to do with your father's disappearance, so I don't know where your father is now."

"But since Mr. Shinname regularly sends manuscripts to the publishing house, let's go to the publishing house first."

"If I remember correctly, today is Saturday."

Recalling the content displayed in the subtitles on the lower right corner of today's morning news, Qin Zhibo said so.

Qin Zhibo, the Mori family, and Shinname Kaori came to the publishing house.

The fat editor-in-chief received everyone and insisted that the manuscripts sent regularly every week were indeed written by Shinname Rentaro.

"Although they are all written by typewriter, the font and grammar are exactly the same as what the teacher used in the past."

"And the handwritten signature left by the teacher next to each episode title is the same."

"If you don't believe me, I can take out the manuscript and show it to you."

The editor left for a while and brought the manuscript back.

When the manuscript was still in the editor's hand, Qin Zhibo saw the light white light emanating from it.

That was the light of the investigation point!

On the side of Maori Kogoro, after confirming with Shinname Kaori that the handwriting of the handwritten signature was his father's, he began to ask the editor if there was anything else unusual.

"Hmm," the editor raised his chin and said, "If there is anything unusual, it should be the re-serialization of the Detective Samonji series."

"In fact, we asked the teacher to continue writing the story of this series four years ago, but the teacher thought that Samonji was dead and it was impossible to bring him back to life."

"But two months ago, Mr. Niname suddenly called and said that he hoped to continue writing the story of Samonji."

"Of course, we are very happy, so the story of the Samonji series began to be published soon."

Mouri Kogoro nodded and said in a deep voice: "I see, what else?"

The editor continued: "And the teacher specifically asked to add this paragraph in the first chapter of the new work"

"Attention all the famous detectives in the country, big and small, if you think your intelligence is superior to my mind, you can try to solve the mystery of this incident!"

The editor just made this powerful declaration, and Qin Zhibo, who was holding the manuscript in his hand and silent, suddenly spoke.

"Please save me quickly. Niname Rentaro."

When these words came out, everyone was shocked.

"What's going on! What are you talking about?"

Mouri Kogoro stared at Qin Zhibo in surprise, while Qin Zhibo showed the manuscript of the first chapter in front of everyone.

"The title of this new work is called the apex of half. In fact, this is not only the title, but also the decryption rule of the entire code."

"As long as you follow this decryption rule and combine the top words of this chapter in pairs, you can get a complete sentence."

After Qin Zhibo finished his interpretation, he picked up the second manuscript and began to investigate, while Maori Kogoro picked up the first manuscript on the table for proofreading.

"Assist.て.ㄑ.れ."

"Please save me quickly!"

After reading the code on the manuscript of the first episode, Maori Kogoro quickly leaned on Qin Zhibo's right shoulder to look at the code on the second manuscript.

And on Qin Zhibo's left shoulder, Conan was perched there.

The father-in-law and son-in-law detective team looked at the manuscript of the second episode, but the meaning of it could not be explained according to the code solution of the first episode.

"ハ夏.二.口." Maori Kogoro scratched his hair angrily, "What is this all about!"

Conan rolled his eyes at Maori Kogoro who couldn't even beat the open-book test next to him.

The content of this code only appears in the dialogue of the French writer played by Shinname Rentaro himself in the book, not at the beginning of each episode.

In other words, the real code part is actually.

I, him, ke, I, He, now, I.

Hmm? What does this mean?

Did I understand it wrongly?

Just when Conan was also in self-doubt, Qin Zhibo spoke again.

"The correct solution to this part of the code is to remove the H in the code text according to the rule that H is silent in French, and the correct meaning can be read."

"That is, where I am now - where I am now"

As soon as the voice fell, Qin Zhibo glanced at Maori Kogoro who put half of his body weight on his right shoulder, and Conan who put his entire body weight on his left shoulder, and said lightly:

"Although Newton said that standing on the shoulders of giants can see farther, but"

"If you stand for a long time, the giant will also get tired."
