Chapter 122: Numbers looking backward

　　 Saturday, April 28, Saitama Prefecture.
　　 Maori and his party climbed eight or nine buildings, but they still didn’t find it. The county road downstairs was similar to the place where the river was seen yesterday.
　　 "It's almost there. How about it?" After climbing another building, Maori said impatiently, "In my opinion, the idea that the shape of the river and the road are the same is simply wrong."
　　 "Why? Yesterday afternoon, you clearly said that the water flow is in contrast to the traffic flow," Lan asked rhetorically, "Did you forget?"
　　 "Have I said this before?" Maori asked rhetorically.
　　 "Oh!" Yuanta and the three people sighed heavily in disappointment.
　　 "Let's go, the road is almost over," Yamazaki smiled, "Go back after you finish this road."
Going downstairs and walking for a while, while driving, Maori said, "Look, there is no similar curve in front of this. It's almost time to make a U-turn." After that, he stopped suddenly and turned out to be Due to construction, there was no road ahead and a detour was needed. After carefully looking at the sign, Maori turned into the side road.
　　 Soon after walking, he kept shaking his head, looking at the windows on both sides, Conan suddenly shouted: "Stop, stop." Then he got out of the car and ran to a building in a community. Lan immediately led Mrs. Yuan and the three to chase him up.
　　 When I got to the front of the building, it turned out that this building was also beside the county road, but it was blocked by the construction site. Climbing to the top of the building, looking at the crooked county road downstairs, the four of Lan and the detective team were overjoyed. This is it.
　　 The five returned to the car, and Lan said, "I found a place, Dad, you can tell the Mumu Police Department for us."
　　 "Found it?" Maori said, "But, how can I tell it?"
　　 "That's not because you are a detective with brilliant achievements, uncle," Conan said, "that's why he believes you in the Megome Police Department."
　　 "Brilliant? Unexpectedly, you know how to use these terms," ​​Maori smiled, "Well, there is no way, just call this for you."
　　 However, after the call was connected, the Mumu Police Department asked them to go there.
　　 After arriving at the Metropolitan Police Department, in a small conference room, the Megumi Police Department took out a photo and said: "This police officer suddenly lost his track when he was on vacation with his girlfriend."
　　 "It's him." Genta called.
　　 Conan said, "This is the person, the Megome Police Department."
"Sure enough, we sampled the fingerprints on the calculator, and after checking it, it was revealed that it was him." Megumi Police Department introduced, "His name is Koichi Yamabe, and he used to be an Olympic rifle shooter. ."
　　 "Olympic rifle shooter?" Maori asked in surprise.
　　 "I am afraid that those gangsters kidnapped Yamabe and his girlfriend Eri," the police department Megumi said, "then take Eri as a hostage and threaten and force Yamabe to use a spear to attack someone."
　　 "Then," Ran said, "What Conan and the others have seen is the practice for sniping."
Touching Conan’s head, the Momo Police Department praised:
The case is just as you reasoned.
Then he said,
However, the point now is that we don’t know the time and place yet, so we don’t know where to start. Up."
　　 "If it's the location of the sniper," Mitsuhiko, Yuanta, and Ayumi laughed together, "We know this."
　　 "What do you know?" The Megumi Police Department asked in surprise.
　　 Maori smiled and said, "We just found the place and wanted to tell you."
　　 "What are you waiting for," Megome Police Department smiled, "Take me to see."
Returning to the top of the building, looking at the county road below, the Mumu Police Department said: "That's it, it's really similar, it should be right here." Then he turned his head and praised the four detectives, "You did well."
　　 "That," Maori said, walking to the front of the detective team, "I drove them here."
　　 Turning his head, the Megome Police Department said, "However, the important date and time are still unclear."
　　 Conan said: "The time when the balloon burst was around one o'clock."
　　 "Then, it's one o'clock," the police department Megome asked, "but, what day is it?"
"The gangster escorted him to the test shot, indicating that there is no time to drag him. It seems that the time is just two days." Looking at his watch, Maori said, "It's already more than two o'clock and there is no news yet. It seems that the sniper will probably be tomorrow."
　　 "Very well, Maori," said the Megome Police Department, "I will make arrangements along the line then."
　　Looking at Conan still looking thoughtful, Lan asked, "What's wrong with you?"
　　 "Nothing." Conan replied.
　　 "Okay, let's go back." Maori said. ...
　　 At night, Mei Dai Restaurant.
　　 After eight o'clock, Yamazaki sent a beer back, watching Conan take out a piece of paper, thinking about the numbers on it, and smilingly asked: "What else are you thinking about, isn't there a result?"
"Does this number really refer to that road?" Conan said, "If it were me, I would definitely put the place or time in the signal. Another point is that no matter what I think, I still don't know the previous numbers. meaning."
"I can only be sure, if it is really there, if I see the number on the calculator indicating the location, then I will definitely care. So when I cover up, I don't think it is true." Yamazaki said, "However, If he really left behind, in terms of his state at the time, there should be no useless numbers."
　　 "You mean he didn't leave this one?" Conan asked, "How is this possible? Didn't the police compare the fingerprints on the calculator?"
"The calculator itself is a suspicious point. What did he do with an ordinary arithmetic calculator when he was traveling, and how did he hold a calculator larger than his palm without being discovered by those people? According to you, if four people look at him together, how could they not notice his little movements." Yamazaki said, "He can't just bend down and put the calculator under the stone, and there will be at least behind him. The two of them, can’t you see him reaching into his pocket? Or, he walked well, and suddenly he slipped and sat on the steps. At this moment, he took out the calculator from his pocket and stuffed the stone with his backhand accurately. Below the block."
　　 "This," Conan said with his chin supported, "it is indeed a problem."
　　 "Also, they must have a sniper target," Yamazaki asked. "What will be there at that time?"
　　 "It should be a human," Conan said, "They should know the person's itinerary."
　　 "If you know the itinerary, you can do it yourself," Yamazaki said. "For such a big deal, if you rob a policeman to attack someone, these two people must be killed. I'm afraid the police won't work hard to find them."
　　 "Then what do you mean, is it another money-carrying truck, swarming up after sniping the tires." Conan asked in an angry rhetoric, "Isn't that going to be killed?"
"How would I know this? I'm just speculating on some possibilities. I just think these people are behaving abnormally. But maybe they did it for revenge." Yamazaki patted Conan on the shoulder and said, "Specifically. How? It depends on you, a detective, to find out."
　　 After thinking about it, Conan, who was worried, went to talk to Maori about sniping the target, and Maori immediately told the Megumi Police Department. ...
The next day, on the edge of the prefectural road in Saitama Prefecture, near the building, the Megumi Police Department arranged manpower to wait at various intersections. At the same time, there was also a group of sniper helicopters on standby on the nearby river bank. It's a perfect preparation.
In a seven-seater car, the Megumi Police Department said: "I asked someone to investigate what you said last night. The investigation of the enemies of Yamabe, because he has done many tasks before, and there is no result yet. And if the sniper target is not against people, then there is indeed a cash transport truck today that will pass by around one point."
"Let me just say that such obvious homophony is for money," Maori laughed. "Then if the timing of the sniper is a little bit, the gangster should be there in an hour, which is about twelve o'clock. ."
　　 Mumu Police Department asked: "But isn't the time of homophonic May 1st?"
　　 "Then," Maori asked, "Will there be a cash truck passing by here on May 1st?"
　　 "That's not true," the Megumi Police Department said.
　　 "Then, maybe what he knows is the fake time that the gangster gave him," Maori said, "so the time he left is fake."
　　 "Indeed." Police Department Megome replied, and then turned his head to ask angrily, "But what's going on behind this?"
"Uh, those little ghosts came here on their own terms," ​​Maori smiled embarrassedly, then turned around and said, "You must never leave this car." Then the three of them turned their heads and ignored them. He stretched out his head and asked, "You know?"
　　 Genta, Ayumi, and Mitsuhiko who were sitting in the last row stretched their heads and shouted, "We know."
　　 "My ears." Maori immediately groaned while covering his ears. Yamazaki and Ran, who were sitting in the middle section, smiled and put down their hands covering their ears. Looking at the appearance of the three little guys, they knew that they might do this, so they covered their ears to avoid the fish pond. ...
　　 An hour and a half later, at half past twelve, the police department at the opposite building had been looking at the opposite building with binoculars and asked suspiciously: "There are still 30 minutes. It's strange, why doesn't it show up?"
　　Wamotota and Ayumi stood by the car window on the right and Mitsuhiko looked outside and asked, "Could it be Conan's reasoning that went wrong?"
　　 Genta immediately shouted, "What did you say?"
　　 "It's nothing like that." Ayumi retorted immediately.
　　 "It must be, that's right," Maori said back, "you shouldn't believe what you guys said in the beginning."
　　 "Dad," Lan shouted angrily.
　　 Seeing that there was still no one coming, Mitsuhiko took a calculator out, sat down sideways to the left window, and pressed on it.
As the numbers appeared on the calculator one by one, Conan sitting next to him, UU reading www.uukanshu.com suddenly found that he was in this position, looking at the backward numbers, it seemed that he could read it, so he borrowed it. He took it in his hand and looked at it seriously.
　　Looking at Conan holding the calculator upside down, Bu Mei asked: "Conan, you took it upside down, how do you look upside down?"
　　 "Really," Conan smiled. "But, even if you look at the calculator backwards, it's fun."
　　 "What are you talking about?" Maori asked.
　　 "You see, 162 is 291," Conan said, "The numbers behind it always feel like English letters." He said, he passed the calculator.
　　 "Show me, 291, HEISEIE, you can really read it." Maori said, "It's strange, these English letters seem to have been seen somewhere."
　　 "The Heisei Express," Yamazaki said, "it's the magazine from yesterday."
　　 "If that's the case, maybe this signal was meant to be read backwards from the beginning," Mauri said, resting his chin, "If this is the case, the time is one point today."
　　 "Really?" Megome police department asked.
"Look, this is it," said Mori. "Mr. Yamabe is probably in the imprisoned place. He found the calculator and he can read it backwards, and then keep this signal when he has the opportunity." Handed it to the Mumu Police Department.
　　 Waiting for the Mogo Police Department to take a look, Conan immediately shouted: "Mogo Police Department, hurry up, hurry up and call the helicopter."
　　 "Okay." As the police department said, he put the calculator in his mouth and started the car. ...
