Chapter 86 Even if it’s just once, I hope…

Chapter 86 Even if it’s just once, I hope…

Just then, the editor-in-chief came over with a poster in his hand.

He said to the editor, "Is this word written wrong on the poster of the new issue?"

The editor took a look at it, shook his head and said, "No, this is also written strictly according to Teacher Xinming's requirements. There will be no mistakes."

Teacher Shinmei's request? Yuya held down Conan, who was about to make a move, and asked, "What's the line?"

The editor-in-chief was stunned for a moment and said, "It's the word humorous, which means humorous, but it's missing an h in front."

Missing an h? A dark light flashed in Yuya's eyes, and at the same time, Conan's head was struck by lightning.

The two looked at each other and picked up the manuscript to read at the same time.

Everyone looked at the two people in confusion.

"I know!" Youya slapped the table, picked up a pen and started writing quickly. Everyone couldn't help but gather around him.

I saw Youya quickly crossing out some words on the manuscript with the lines printed on it.

"What does this mean?" asked Kogoro Mouri a little confused.

Yuya explained while underlining the words: "What the editor-in-chief said just now, humorous is missing a letter, which is actually not wrong. Because the place where the character of Niname appears in the work is France, and if I remember correctly, Niname himself also likes France very much."

Shinna Kaori confirmed Yuya's words.

Yuya nodded and continued, "This actually involves a point of knowledge in French, that is, in French, the h in a word is silent. For example, humorous is pronounced as umorous in French, and Hamburg is pronounced as amburg in French."

"In French, the h sound is not pronounced. If we apply this to the code reading of the novel, we can think of it as removing the kana in the は（ha）row, that is, the row with は（ha）, ひ（hi）, ふ（hu）, へ（hu/fu）, and ほ（ho）."

"Then use the 1/2 vertex rule to combine the remaining characters that are not in a row."

"There are some sounds that can be pronounced as h or not, so we will keep them for now..."

“In this way, the lines of the second appearance of the newly named character are combined... First, 私 and 他. His pronunciation is hoka, so leave 私... Then combine them one by one, and you can get... 私が今いま所わ, where I am now is...”

"The next line is for the third appearance. Using the same rules, we can combine it into Beihu City Hotel, which means Beihu City Hotel."

"Then it's the fourth line... Huh?" Youye was stunned, where is the manuscript?

"Room 2407." Conan raised his head and smiled brightly.

Noticing that everyone was staring at him, he immediately broke into a sweat and hurriedly explained: "I just saw Brother Yuya interpreting the code and he looked so cool, so I couldn't help but want to learn from him..."

Damn Yuya, he actually snatched away all the other manuscripts. Fortunately, he was quick-witted and grabbed one.

Yuya frowned and punched Conan on the head. "Do you really have to show off when so many people are watching you?"

"Okay, then the code has been fully deciphered, 'My current location is Beihu City Hotel, Room 2407.'"

"Hurry, set off immediately and notify the department for support! The other party might be an armed kidnapper!" Inspector Megure shouted.

"Ah, there are also dialogues in the new issue's manuscript..." Conan held up the latest issue's manuscript in his hand.

"There's no time. Go!"

Yuya picked up Conan and threw him into the arms of Ran Mouri, then ran out with Inspector Megure.

Mao Lilan hurriedly followed with Conan in her arms.

Conan frowned and quickly deciphered the new code: there is no time.

He looked up at Yuya in shock. Was this guy a coincidence or...

After everyone left, the publishing house's phone rang.

An editor walked over and answered the phone: "Hello, this is..."

"Ah? Code, ah, someone has just deciphered this, and they have already rushed to the location indicated in the code."

"What do you mean by how many? Of course they have understood all of them, right? Who? Uh, if I heard correctly, they seemed to call that person 'Kamiya-kun' and 'Yuya' or something like that..."

Hattori Heiji, who was far away in Osaka, hung up the phone angrily. Looking at the code "where I am now" that he had deciphered in his hand, a drop of sweat flowed down his forehead.

"As expected of you, Kamiya Yuya. It seems like you are much more powerful than me and Kudo!"

Please, we must catch up! In the police car, Youya clenched his fists.

He had deciphered the code as quickly as possible. If he remembered correctly, in the original work, when Conan deciphered the code and reached his destination, Shinname Rentaro had just passed away.

And now that he has deciphered the code in advance, he should be able to make it in time if he rushes over, right?

Yuya raised his head and looked at the car in front. The anxiety on the face of Shinna Kaori, who was sitting in the back seat, was clearly visible.

···

Soon, everyone arrived at Beihu City Hotel and took the elevator to the 24th floor.

Yuya looked at the serious-looking police officer beside him and couldn't help but say, "Inspector Megure, there's no need to be so nervous."

Inspector Megure was anxious: "Brother Kamiya, what are you talking about? It is very likely that Mr. Niname has been kidnapped, and the criminals may be armed."

Yuya shook his head, "No, Niina-sensei was not kidnapped."

Everyone was stunned and looked at Youya in confusion.

Youye sighed, looking at the rapidly changing numbers on the elevator panel, and said slowly: "The 24th floor is the most expensive suite in the Beihu Hotel. If it is a kidnapper, why would he stay in such an expensive place?"

"Even if the kidnapper is an avid fan of the book and kidnapped Shinmei-sensei in order to force him to write a new series of Zuo Wenzi, judging from the fact that the signatures in the latest issues are all photocopied, Shinmei-sensei is likely unable to write himself, so it is very likely that he dictated and asked someone to write for him."

"But there is a serious problem with proxy typing. If one word is typed wrong or the ranking is wrong, the meaning of the entire code will be significantly distorted, and the message that Mr. Xinming wants to convey cannot be expressed in the work."

Inspector Megure was stunned. He seemed to understand something: "You mean..."

Youye smiled and said, "Everything will become clear once we meet in person."

With a "ding" sound, the elevator reached the top floor.

Everyone quickly came to the door of Room 2407. Youya stopped the police officer who wanted to approach with a gun and knocked on the door under everyone's nervous gaze.

"Who is it?" A woman's voice came from the room.

Shinname Kaori covered her mouth in surprise: "This is my mother's voice."

Yuya said loudly: "Hello, I am the detective who deciphered the code of Mr. Niname, come..."

"Click!" Before Youya could say anything, the door was opened.

Mrs. Niname looked at Youya with surprise: "You, you said you figured out my husband's secret code?" Then she looked at the other people around her, "You are..."

"Mom!" Niina Kaori rushed out.

"Kanoribori?" Mrs. Niname was extremely surprised.

Yuya opened his mouth and asked in a dry voice: "How is Mr. Niname?"

Mrs. Niname came to her senses and grabbed Youya: "Come in, come in!"

While walking into the room, he shouted: "Husband, husband! Someone is coming, a detective is coming! He has deciphered your code!"

Everyone came to the innermost bedroom and were shocked to find Shinmei Rentaro lying on the bed with his eyes closed and motionless.

Hearing his wife's shout, he opened his eyes with difficulty, a look of surprise visible on his face, and his voice seemed full of energy: "Who? Who deciphered my code?"

Yuya took the initiative to step forward, lowered his head and said: "Teacher Niina, it's me, my name is Kamiya Yuya."

"Good, good! That's great!" Shinmei Rentaro shed tears of excitement, and the tears slowly flowed down the corners of his eyes.

"Help, help me up!" said Niina Rentaro.

"Husband!" Mrs. Xinming's eyes turned red with anxiety, "Your current health..."

The bald old man in a white coat shook his head at Mrs. Niname, walked forward and helped Niname Rentaro up, and Youya hurried forward to help.

Shinmei Rentaro sat down with difficulty, and looked at Yuya with a bright smile on his face: "Can you tell me how you deciphered the code?"

Yuya nodded and quickly outlined his reasoning.

Shinmei Rentaro nodded with relief: "Okay, that's great, I thought I wouldn't be able to wait any longer." He was so happy that a large blush appeared on his originally pale face.

Yuya's breathing stagnated. How could he not see that the new name Rentaro had reached the end and was having a last burst of vitality.

Youya quickly said, "Teacher Xinming, your daughter is here too."

Shinname Kaori rushed to her father's bed and cried, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Shinmei Rentaro stroked his daughter's head and said with a smile, "It's okay, Kaori. Daddy has no regrets anymore."

Shinna Kaori realized something and cried even louder.

Shinmei Rentaro sighed and looked up at the ceiling. "The happiest moment in my life is when my completed work is praised by readers. I have been a writer for 40 years, but there is a kind of happiness that I have not experienced yet. Kaori, do you know what it is?"

Shinname Kaori looked up blankly, staring with red eyes and asked, "What is it?"

Shinmei Rentaro smiled happily: "At least once. I hope to see the confident and proud expression on the reader's face after he solves the puzzle before I tell him the answer."

Then he looked at Yuya and said with a smile: "Young man, can you fulfill my last wish?"

Youya was stunned. For the first time, he realized that perhaps the abilities he gained from Brother Tongzi could be used for more than just solving cases.

Masterful performing skills...maybe they aren't necessary.

Yuya touched his nose, showing the confidence and pride that only teenagers have. The corners of his mouth curled up and he said with a smile: "Teacher Xinming, I have solved the code you left behind. Did you see it?"

Shinmei Rentaro closed his eyes, tears streaming down his face, with perhaps the brightest smile of his life on his face: "Ah, I saw..."

"Kaori..." the new name Rentaro's voice called out in a low voice.

"Dad, I'm here!" Niina Xiang Baoli responded quickly.

"The serialization of Samonji has not yet ended..." The voice of Shinmei Rentaro became smaller and smaller.

Shinname Kaori said loudly, "Don't worry, Dad, I will finish it!"

“Okay, okay,” the new name Rentaro’s voice was already too weak to be heard, “40 years... 40 chapters... don’t... forget...”

The hand that was caressing Shinna Kaori suddenly stopped and then slowly fell down.

"dad!"

···

Outside the room, Conan looked up at Yuya, his voice a little awkward: "When did you know?"

Yuya glanced at him and said softly, "From the beginning."

"At the beginning?" Conan's eyes widened.

Youya chuckled: "There is something I want to tell you. When you are immersed in reasoning, don't forget to observe the people around you."

You kid, you wanted to perform in front of so many people just now, didn’t you see the way Xiaolan looked at you, right?

A question mark appeared above Conan's head: "What do you mean?"

Yuya waved and headed for the elevator, "You'll understand soon enough."

Conan:? ? ?
