Conan said: "Yes, brother Wu Fan and I have the same idea. Could it be that these numbers have special meaning, such as hiding some secrets.
Wu Fan continued: "In addition, there are some suspicious places, such as the autographs of the new teacher."
While everyone was talking, the fax machine suddenly rang.
The editor smiled and said: "Great, the teacher's manuscript has been sent over.
Mouri Kogoro couldn't wait to say: "Let me see, let me see."
The editor immediately stopped him: "You can't read it now. These are mysteries. If you want to read it, just wait until we publish it and you can buy it and read it.
Conan took advantage of the editor's unpreparedness and grabbed a manuscript for comparison.
Wu Fan took a quick glance at "813" and said, "It's really strange, the signatures from episodes six to eight are exactly the same.
Mouri Kogoro made a comparison and found that they are exactly the same.
Conan asked: "The signature from episode one to episode six, every episode is a little bit different, why is that?"
Mouri Kogoro said disapprovingly: "Isn't that simple? Of course it was Shinmei-sensei who photocopied the previous signature."
Conan asked again: "But why would he do this?"
Mouri Kogoro said: "I think maybe he doesn't want to sign, or maybe he can't sign."
The editor was a little worried: "Mr. Mouri, is it true or false?"
Wu Fan said: "I prefer the second one. He can't sign it, which means that Teacher Xinming may no longer be alive. Of course, this is only a possibility. Maybe he is still alive."
After hearing this, Xin Ming's face changed drastically: "What? How could that happen?"
Mouri Kogoro was sweating profusely: "This is terrible! We must race against time now and seize the time."
Later, Mouri Kogoro shouted to the editor: "Hey, call the police quickly, don't leave the ink, go quickly."
The editor said: "Got it."
After saying that, the editor immediately ran to call the police.
Wu Fan said: "If we want to find the new teacher, we have to decipher the code left by the author. That is the real clue that we want to tell these detectives.
After a while, Officer Megure came to the publishing house.
Mouri Kogoro asked: "What did you say? The police cannot conduct a public investigation?"
Officer Megure replied: "Yes, judging from the current situation, I'm afraid there is nothing we can do."
Mouri Kogoro was a little confused: "Officer Megure, are you making a mistake? Now the father of Miss Shinname is a well-known mystery writer, Shinname Rentaro, who has been missing for two months. In addition, His wife also disappeared without a trace along with him, so now we can only start the investigation in the direction of what cases they were involved in."
Officer Megure replied: "But the novel written by the new Mr. Rentaro will be delivered to this publishing house on time every week. Although it is only a novel, the font and writing style of this novel have been approved by his daughter and the editorial department. The personnel confirmed it is correct.”
Mouri Kogoro was anxious: "Yes, the problem I am talking about now lies in this faxed manuscript. Don't you think there is something wrong with these signatures?"
Officer Megure was a little confused: "Signature? Haven't you already confirmed that this is Mr. Shinmei's handwriting?"
Mouri Kogoro continued: "But the autograph written by Shinna-sensei next to the title every time, from the first to the sixth episode, is more or less different.
However, the signatures from episodes 6 to 8 are exactly the same. It is inexplicable that the signatures from episodes 6 to 8 were photocopied from the previous signatures and then placed next to the title in order to avoid confusion. . "
"That is to say, something terrible must have happened to Teacher Xinming now, so that he can only do this."
Officer Megure asked with a half-moon look: "Then let me ask you, who would do anything unfavorable to this new teacher? If his family members receive blackmail calls, what you said can still be established. But nothing has happened now, right? And maybe people think it’s too cumbersome to sign every episode, so they just use photocopies to save time.”
If we only judge based on the current situation, there is nothing wrong with what Officer Megure said.
If there are no other circumstances, it is not impossible for this eccentric novelist to really hide somewhere with his wife and concentrate on his writing career.
But there's still something wrong. For example, the inscription doesn't seem like his personality.
Why would a mystery writer who has always been gentle and humble go out of his way and provoke countless detectives?
In addition, it is also a bit suspicious that the author actually appears at the beginning of the series.
Also, this author writes Arabic numerals, Chinese characters, and numbers, and also mixes in English lines from time to time, which is too much and strange.
Wu Fan believes that in these lines, there must be clues to find the new name Ren Tailang.
At this time, Takagi Wataru came over.
"The team leaders, Mr. Mouri and Mr. Wu Fan, I have photocopied and sorted out all the suspicious lines in this work."
So, three people picked it up for identification.
Conan came over and said cutely: "Can you give me one too?"
Takagi smiled and said: "Okay, I printed a lot anyway."
After saying that, Takagi handed one to Conan.
Officer Megure said: "So far, Mr. Shinmei has appeared four times in the novel. The author's first appearance was when the protagonist, the detective Zuo Moji, made a phone call first, and Mr. Shinmei, who lives in Faguo, answered the phone. 0.9 up."
"The second time was also in Faguo, the third time was in Faguo, and the fourth time was also in Faguo. It seems that Mr. Xinming likes Faguo very much."
Xin Ming nodded and said, "Yes, my father often travels to Faguo with my mother."
The editor came over and said, "Can we start editing the half-capstone story that the teacher just sent us?"
Officer Megure asked, "Half apex?"
The editor replied: "The top of one-half is the title of the work you are reading, police officer."
Wu Fan thought to himself: "So that's it. There are indeed clues about the new teacher hidden in this line. It's so dependent on the declaration of a salary increase, and the author will appear in the work and those weird lines. , everything makes sense."
