Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

"Ding Dong!"

On the third floor of the office, Gao Chengcai carried the little girl to the sofa in the living room, and a doorbell rang downstairs.

With the help of the bakery aunt, the girl put on his shirt and slept quite peacefully after taking the anti-fever medicine, so she didn't need to worry for the time being.

Gao Cheng exited the room, looked at the office downstairs, and found a young brunette beauty standing at the entrance of the corridor: "Hello, this is the City Detective Agency, what's the matter?"

"Sorry to disturb you so late," the woman looked tired, "but I have something to talk to the city detective no matter what."

"I am Takasei Joto."

Gao Cheng opened the office: "Please go inside."

At the office meeting on the sofa, Gao Cheng made a cup of tea for the woman: "Come, please use it."

"Thank you." The woman's face improved, she nodded with a chuckle, and took out a business card from her bag. "Detective Jodo, my name is Kabori Shinnam. This time I came mainly because of my parents."

"Xinming Kabori?" Gao Cheng took the card and thought hard, "How do you feel like you've heard it somewhere?"

"My father is the new name Rentaro," Kabouri explained. "The Detective Zuowen series is my father's work."

"It turned out to be the author of Zuowen!" Gao Cheng remembered, and said enthusiastically, "I have also read the Detective Zuowen series. I have always wanted to visit my father, but unfortunately there is no time."

"My father often said that he would like to see you, the realistic left character, and that you are the resurrected left character."

"That's all nonsense by the media."

Gao Cheng laughed and said with a serious face: "I don't know what Ms. Xiangbaoli is asking for me? Is my father wanting to see me?"

"No," the new name Kabouri looked dim. "To be honest, my father has been missing for almost two months..."

"Missing?" Gao Cheng stunned. "But I remember that Detective Zuowen has restarted serialization recently?"

"What I said is true," Shinna Kaho said anxiously. "My father and my mother disappeared a week before the serialization started. Only a note of'get out a little bit' was left. I asked all of them. Relatives and friends, but no one knows their whereabouts! Only at midnight every Saturday at midnight, the manuscript will be faxed to the editorial office regularly."

Gao Cheng solemnly said, "Isn't there any information about the sending place on the fax?"

"Nothing," the new name Kabori tightened his fingers and said with great thoughts. "They haven't contacted me for nearly two months. This kind of thing has never happened before. I was worried about whether something happened to them, so I called the police. But because there is no intimidating phone call, the manuscripts are also faxed regularly, they let me not worry...

"I have also asked other detective agencies, but their answers are all the same. I can only come and ask the Jiroto detective whom my father once mentioned."

Shinna Kabori choked up tears: "If you can't even do it..."

"No?" Gao Cheng raised his eyebrows, slapped the table and stood up, looking awe-inspiring, "There is nothing I can't do with Gao Cheng, the city owner. Since your father regularly sends manuscripts, let's go to the editorial office. Right!"

"what?"

Xinming Xiangbaoli stared at Gao Cheng blankly, and happily wiped the corners of his eyes after reacting.

"Thank you, Detective Joto."

"Don't worry, I will find your parents!" Gao Cheng took his new name Xiang Baoli downstairs and stopped a taxi. He paused suddenly, "By the way, the fare should be reimbursed, right?"

...

University Library Press, Editorial Department.

Gao Cheng, under the leadership of Xinming Xiangbaoli, found the editor of the Zuowen series, a fat and honest young man.

"Yes, the manuscript of the new teacher will be passed on every week."

The young man was very excited when he saw Gao Cheng: "Are you a Kioto detective? I have read the report on the serial homicides a few days ago. I heard that you were also involved, and I just saw through the murderer at a glance."

"It's not that exaggerated, I actually didn't do anything, but it's true that I have encountered a lot of trouble."

Gao Cheng smiled awkwardly, and continued to ask: "Mr. Editor, are those manuscripts really written by a new teacher?"

"Yes," the young man affirmed, "Although it is typed with a word processor, the font is exactly the same as the teacher used in the past, and every time he has his autograph next to the title, do you want me to show the manuscript to you? Look?"

"Can you? Then I will trouble you."

The Detective Zuowen series stopped serializing ten years ago. The title of the new work this time is "The Peak of One Half". Gao Cheng hasn't read it much before, and he feels quite fresh when he holds the manuscript.

"I confirmed it last time when I came here," Shinna Kabori sat next to Gao Cheng, "It is indeed my father's signature."

"I see," the editor Asaka Pauli smiled, "My father must have just buried himself in writing and forgot to contact you, don't worry."

"but……"

"Even if Mr. New Name forgets, Mrs. New Name will never forget, right?"

Gao Cheng took the manuscript and checked it carefully, and asked in a deep voice, "When was the last time you and Mr. Xinming met?"

"Well, I've seen it a few times before the serialization started, but I did not meet each other a week ago..."

"Is there anything unusual about Mr. Xinming at the time?"

"Unusual place? I don't think there is anything wrong," the editor recalled. "If I really want to say, it would be strange to re-run "Detective Zuowen". We asked the teacher to serialize it four years ago, but every time the teacher It is said that Zuowen is dead, and it is impossible to resurrect...

"We almost gave up. I didn't expect the teacher to call me about two months ago and say we want to re-serialize," the editor said with a smile, "I think he must have heard about Detective Kido, our editor still thinks I want to find you to interact in the weekly."

Gao Cheng was not in the mood to talk about other business now, and asked: "Are there any other weird things?"

"Uh, this... the obviously very kind teacher added a very provocative declaration in the preface this time, I don't know if it is unusual," the young editor pointed to the beginning of the manuscript, "Look, that's it," to the whole country The famous detective, who thinks his mind is above me, come to find out the truth of this incident!'"

"The truth of the incident? Isn't it because of this that Mr. Xinming deliberately disappeared?" Gao Cheng suspiciously asked.

"No, I think it's because the teacher wants to make the new work more attractive, because recently there have been a lot of calls or letters to guess the prisoners in the work."

The young editor said very happily: "One more thing, the new teacher also appeared in the novel this time. He appeared in the novel as an old friend of the left writing, setting himself as a dead-end novel living in France. Home, the entire series is nearly forty books, this is the first time this has happened!"

"That's it."

Gao Cheng was a little disappointed, and couldn't ask anything too useful from the editorial department.

"Can you help me to make a photocopy of these manuscripts?"

The editor was stunned: "Huh? Of course you can."

While the editor left to photocopy the manuscript, Gao Cheng turned to the new name Kabori: "Are those manuscripts really written by your father? Or is there someone forcing him to write?"

The new name Kabori shook his head: "It is indeed my father's style. If there is any difference, it is that my father's dialogue is weird when he appears in the novel."

"dialogue?"

"Well, it's different from other dialogues, it looks a bit messy," Kabouri nodded, "At first I thought it was my father's typos..."

"It's not a clerical error," the young editor returned with a stack of manuscripts. "We originally planned to revise it, but the teacher told me not to change it without authorization before the serialization. He also said that if it is not published in this way, we will stop writing immediately."

Gao Cheng was surprised to receive a thick bundle of manuscripts: "Is it ready to be photocopied so soon?"

"Because there happened to be a photocopy, I brought it to Detective Jodo first."

"Thank you so much, this fee..."

"It's nothing, just some photocopies," the young editor expected. "If possible, can I talk to you about cooperation next time?"

"Then wait until you find the new name gentleman."

Gao Cheng and the young editor left each other's contact information, and then left with all the manuscripts.

On the way back, he did not continue to be with Shinna Kahori, but contacted after an agreement. He felt that the new name Rentaro might have left some message in the manuscript, and he needed to think about it.

"Miss Kabori, as soon as I find any clues, I will contact you immediately."

"Thank you." Kabori was moved to tears again. If even Gaocheng couldn't help it, I'm afraid that even if he went to find another well-known detective, Kogoro Mori, the result would be similar. Gao Cheng is her last hope.

...

The next morning, the city's detective office.

The **** the sofa in the living room on the third floor moved her eyelashes and gradually opened her eyes, looking around suspiciously and vigilantly.

It's not a laboratory or a place of imprisonment. It's just an ordinary residential house. Judging from the messy furnishings and some items, it's probably a single male room.

The girl remembered last night.

It seemed that he had burnt his head and collapsed in front of a young man who looked like Shinichi Kudo, vaguely heard that she was going to be sent to the police station...

"No, you can never go to the police station."

The girl got up weakly and put on big slippers, and found that her clothes had been washed, and she was wearing a loose shirt.

Thinking of something, the girl's face flushed, and she breathed out again quickly, with a hint of bitterness flashing across her face.

She touched her hungry belly, stepped on her slippers and walked into the kitchen. She saw the almost unused tableware and brows. She turned to the refrigerator on the side. She was startled when she saw that the refrigerator was empty.

I looked for the cabinet next to me, and when I turned to a few boxes full of instant noodles, the girl couldn't help but wrinkle her entire face.

In the office on the second floor, Gao Cheng was lying on the table with a chicken coop and slumbering asleep. In front of him was the manuscript of the novel "One-half of the Vertex", and a book used to analyze the code fell on the ground. There are some crumpled papers.

The little girl turned the handle outside the door and found that the door was not locked. When she pushed the door, she saw an office that was messier than the upstairs.

"Kito Detective Agency..."

Quite unexpectedly, I glanced at Gao Cheng who was sleeping. The corner of the girl's mouth was slightly tilted, and then she noticed the paper **** littered on the ground. A big dog who was also sleeping was also biting a paper ball in her mouth.

The big dog was very alert, his ears moved and immediately got up, only to sit back quietly after seeing the little girl from last night.

The girl couldn't help but touched the big, well-behaved dog, and picked up the paper ball on the ground.

It can be seen that Gao Cheng is studying text codes, but he seems to be in trouble.

Picking up a manuscript on tiptoe, the girl looked with relish.

"Half of the apex? It seems that a secret code has been specially added." The girl closed the script and chuckled.

"It's already dawn..."

Gao Cheng yawned and rubbed his eyes in a daze.

I stretched my waist, and suddenly saw the girl sitting on the sofa reading a novel manuscript, and she was slightly startled.

"You are awake, little sister."

Gao Cheng walked up to the girl and took the manuscript from the girl's hand: "Do you understand these manuscripts? Brother still has to work. Can I show you the manuscript when he finishes his work?"

The girl was quiet, so Gao Cheng was relieved, he sat back again, and continued to study the manuscript with a headache.

This kind of signal is too troublesome for him. I haven't seen anything all night, or maybe there is no signal at all.

Grabbing his hair and sighing, he hesitantly placed his finger on the phone.

He intends to ask Conan about it. Anyway, Conan will definitely be interested in this kind of stuff, but it feels so shameless that he was laughed at by Uncle Maori last time...

"One-half of the apex." The girl suddenly said mysteriously.

"What?" Gao Cheng looked at the girl who quietly flipped through a mystery novel, and reacted, "I'll take you back later. By the way, I don't know you yet..."

"One of the keys to the secret sign is'the apex of one-half'," the girl said plainly when she looked at the novel. "The top characters in each column of the dialogue are only one-half, which means that the two characters are combined. To form a word, Mr. Xinming is in France every time he plays. According to the French silent h rule, the similar words in the combined word are removed..."

Gao Cheng stared at the little girl in a daze, followed the girl's reasoning and read the manuscript again: "This is?"

"Yes~www.NovelMTL.com~ The girl turned her eyes to Gao Cheng," The first time Mr. Xinming appeared in the dialogue, he reads "Come and save me" together, and the second time is "My current location". The third time'Beihu City Hotel', the fourth time'Room 247'..."

Gao Cheng slapped the manuscript in his hand and looked at the girl while his eyes quivered. The big wavy hair with a child-like atmosphere seemed to be facing an adult.

This kid...

"Who are you?" Gao Cheng's throat was stuck, as if there were only little girls left in the whole world, "What...what's your name?"

The girl paused in her hand, brushed her hair around her ears, and glanced over the various reasoning books placed on the shelf beside her: "Hui...Huihara sorrow."

"Haibara?"

Gao Cheng was in a daze, as if he was back when he was following Conan tv.

He is not a fan of grief, but at that time the role of Ai Yuanai still left an indelible impression in his heart. After coming to the world of Conan, he also thought about when he would see Xiao Ai, but he didn’t expect this day to come. Suddenly, it was so plain again.

Casually clear with a trace of distant and deserted ice blue eyes, with a dark brown hair, a combination of cuteness and maturity...

With the addition of the adult clothes at the beginning, such a strange child should indeed be Xiao Ai.

It's just that the name "Haihara Ai" was not taken with Dr. Ari?

"What's the matter?" The girl's clear eyes flashed doubts, "Aren't you going? Maybe it's too late now."

"what!"

Gao Cheng regained his senses and didn't want to think too much. He hurriedly took his cell phone and went out: "There are still some biscuits in the office.
