Chapter 584: Writer with a secret code

　　 Tuesday, April 28th, less than six o'clock in the evening, Literature and Art Publishing House.
　　 The staff obviously knew Shinnam Kabori, and the Maori group was invited in smoothly. The editor of the new name Rentaro received them.
　　 the editor said: "Miss Kabori, don't worry, I think the teacher must be too involved in writing the novel, so I forgot to contact you. Actually, there are many writers like him."
　　 Lan said, "But Mrs. and Mrs. Shinnam also forgot to contact him. It seems impossible."
　　 "Uh," the editor said, "that seems to make sense."
　　 Maori asked, "Excuse me, how did you contact Mr. Xinming?"
　　 "No, the teacher has not contacted me since the beginning of the serialization." The editor said, "It's just that the teacher's manuscript will be sent from time to time."
　　 "Untimely?" Maori asked.
　　 said the editor: "I don't know the time, but there are actually seven to eight days each time. Speaking of it, it's almost time for the manuscript to arrive."
　　 Maori asked, "Are you sure those manuscripts were really written by a new teacher?"
"Yes, although it is printed out, the font is exactly the same as what the teacher used in the past. The language habits are also the teacher's right, and the teacher will autograph next to the title every time." The editor said, "Well, let me Let you see the manuscript passed by the teacher before." Then I took a few manuscripts. "The title of this novel is "Vertex 1/2", and the signature is next to the title."
　　 Mori asked, "Ms. Kaboori, can these handwritings be made by Mr. Shinnam, your father?"
　　 Shinna Kahori said, "Yes, I confirmed it when I got here before."
　　 Conan asked, "Hey, which country is the number on it?"
　　 "It was France at first, and then neighboring countries." The editor said, "I checked, it was all noon in local time, it should be around lunch time."
　　 Yamazaki asked, "Miss Kabori, what did the police say, can you confirm that Mr. and Mrs. Xinming are still in the country?"
　　 "No." Shinna Kabori shook his head and said.
　　 "That's it," Maori said, touching his chin, and then asked the editor, "Then you should have met? You can't just fax the manuscript to Mr. Xinming."
　　 said the editor: "Yes, we did meet before the series started, and we talked roughly about related issues."
　　 Maori asked, "Then do you think Mr. Xinming has anything unusual?"
　　 "Abnormal situation?" The editor thought for a while and said, "I don't think there is anything wrong."
　　 Maori said: "Anything you find strange can be said."
"If you say so, there is indeed one thing that makes me feel strange, and that is the re-serialization of this Detective Zuowen series." The editor said, "In fact, this series of new stories, we had four years ago. I started to ask the teacher to write, but the teacher’s answer has always been
Left text is dead, it’s impossible to come back to life
. Now that the teacher said so, we had to give up. But the new teacher suddenly called it more than two months ago On the phone, he hoped to start writing the story of the Detective Zuowen series again and asked if we could publish it in the magazine. Of course, this was something we couldn't ask for, so we quickly stopped the new serialization work. , The new story of the left text series has begun to be published."
　　 "That's how it is," Maori said.
　　 Yamazaki asked, "Then, do you think there is such a possibility that the author of the work whose publication has been discontinued by you is the trouble of Mr. Xinming?"
　　 "This, it should be impossible." The editor said.
　　 "Should? It seems necessary to investigate this person." Maori said.
　　 "If this is the case, there are too many people who need to be investigated." The editor smiled bitterly, "And I think the famous teacher is the kind of gentle person, this approach is also a bit abnormal."
　　 "Why is this?" Maori asked.
　　 The editor found the first manuscript and opened it and said: "Look, the teacher wrote this paragraph at the beginning of the story."
"Attention detectives across the country. If your wisdom wants to surpass my wisdom, please try to solve the mystery of this story." Maori read, and said, "This passage is indeed full of It means provocative."
　　 said the editor: "Because of this, we received thousands of calls and letters in the first issue, and many of them were dissatisfied."
　　 "Uh, this is indeed a problem." Maori said.
"Also, about half a year ago, there was a more radical fan who called and said that if we didn't re-serialize, we would set our publishing house on fire, and we have received a lot of such harassing calls over the years." The editor said.
　　 Maori sighed, "These people are too fanatical."
"Oh, by the way, when talking about anomalous things, I remembered one more thing," the editor said, "that is, the teacher himself appeared in the novel. The teacher is an old man in the story this time. He appeared as a friend. In the story, the teacher described himself as a novelist who lived in France but whose works were not popular. There are more than 40 stories in this series. This is the first time the teacher has appeared in a novel. In terms of characters, if the left word is Holmes, then the teacher is Watson."
　　 Conan asked: "Where is this scene, can we see it?"
　　 "Yes," the editor found out the manuscript and passed it to Conan, "but can you understand Chinese characters, brother?"
"Understand a little bit." Conan took the manuscript and looked at it. After a while, he pointed to a place and said, "It's so weird here. Look at it for yourself. At twelve o'clock, twelve here are Chinese characters, but the next one is here. The 1 becomes a number. I think this uncle is really confused."
　　 "It's really not right," Maori asked, "Is it a typo? It shouldn't happen."
"Of course, it is absolutely impossible." The editor said, "Although I don't understand why there are two different expressions, the teacher called us several times before the serialization, saying that if we don't If he publishes a novel according to the meaning he wrote, he will immediately stop serializing the novel."
　　 At this time, the fax machine rang, and the editor said, "Ah, the teacher's new manuscript must have arrived." After saying that, he went to guard the fax machine, and Maori, Ran, and Shinnam Kabori followed.
　　 "Hey," Yamazaki asked Conan, "Anything to find?"
"I think there are some secrets hidden in these articles, and the most suspicious is the autographs of the new teacher. The signatures are exactly the same in the last few times," Conan said. "If my reasoning is correct, the new teacher is probably already……"
"No, it shouldn’t have been. Mystery stories often don’t give enough clues until the end. If Mr. Xinming was really caught by the gangster, the gangster did not make a blackmail call. That is to say, he or they want It's just Mr. Xinming, but a mystery novelist who is writing a mystery novel is the goal. So until the end of the novel, the author of Xinming will be safe." Yamazaki said.
　　 "In that case, what the new teacher left in this novel is a signal for help." Conan said.
　　 "It should be so." Yamazaki took out his mobile phone and notified the Megumi Police Department.
　　At this time, Conan heard the editor say that the new manuscript from the new name Rentaro came from the fax machine, and immediately went to grab the homepage and compared it with the other manuscripts.
　　 "Bring me the manuscript, you kid." Maori said.
　　 "I think this signature is weird," Conan handed the manuscript to Maori, "The signatures of Chapter 6 to Chapter 8 are exactly the same."
　　 Maori compared it, and said in surprise: "Really, really." Then he looked at the other manuscripts, "The signatures from Chapter 1 to Chapter 6 are slightly different."
　　 "Why is this?" Conan asked.
　　 Maori said, "Of course it’s because Mr. Xinming copied all the previous signatures."
　　 "But why does the new teacher do this?" Conan asked again.
　　 "I think maybe he doesn't want to sign," Lan said, and then said in surprise, "Or maybe he can't sign."
　　 "If it is not possible to sign, it means that the new teacher may now..." Maori said in surprise.
　　 "Wh, how come!" Shinna Kabori exclaimed.
　　 "Yamazaki, immediately call the Megumi Police Department to come over," said Mori, "we must count on every second."
　　 "It's already hit." Yamazaki said.
　　 Seeing Xinming Xiangbaoli's face is ugly, Lan comforted: "My father may not be really dead, he is very likely to be alive, but his hand was injured."
　　 "Thank you." Shinna Kahori reluctantly said.
　　 "I'm going to a new famous house to see the situation." Yamazaki asked Conan, "Do you want to come?"
"No." Conan said with the manuscript, "This novel should be the one that can save the new teacher. The information he wants to convey should be in the novel. That's the clue that he really wants to tell us these detectives. ."
　　 "That's good," Yamazaki said, and then stepped forward to ask Shinna Kabori, "Miss Kabori, where is your house? Can you give me the key, maybe you can find some clues."
　　 "Yes." Shinnam Kabori handed over the keys and reported to the house.
　　 "Uncle, I'll try it over there," Yamazaki said.
　　 Listening to the sound of police cars coming from a distance, Maori said, "Bring some policemen over."
　　 "Understand," Yamazaki said. ...
　　 Less than seven o'clock in the evening, downstairs of Literature and Art Times Publishing House.
　　 Yamazaki waited for a while, the Megome Police Department led the team.
　　 "Memo Police Department, Uncle Maori is waiting for you upstairs," Yamazaki said, then looked at Officer Chiba and asked, "I'm going to a new famous house to see if I can let Officer Chiba take a few people with me."
　　 "Okay," Megome Police Department said. ...
　　 Go to the new famous police car.
　　The Chiba police officer who drove asked, "Mr. Yamazaki, what shall we look for?"
　　 Yamazaki asked, "How is your police investigation of Mr. Shinnam?"
　　Chiba police officer said, "There is no clue."
　　 Yamazaki said, "No, it's not about this, but Mr. Shinnam himself, some of his necessary habits, if there are any diseases that require special medication every day."
　　 "This," Chiba police officer said, "I only know that Mr. Xinming is a very fat man."
　　 "Then, let's find Mr. Shinnam's bedside table and other places that may be used for medicine." Yamazaki said.
　　Chiba police officer said: "I understand, it is to find special medicine, so I can know if Mr. Xinming needs to go to the hospital regularly."
　　 Yamazaki said, "Not bad."...
　　 At 7 o'clock in the evening, Literary Times Publishing House.
　　 After listening to what Maori said, the police department frowned and thought for a while, and said: "As far as the current situation is concerned, I am afraid there is no way to launch a large-scale search."
"However, the police department, the father of Miss Kabori, the well-known mystery novelist's new name, Mr. Rentaro, has been missing for two months now, and his wife has also disappeared with him." Mouri said .
"But the manuscripts of the novel written by Mr. Xinming will be faxed to this publishing house, and although it is a fax, the handwriting and grammar of this novel have been confirmed by her daughter and the editorial staff. It is Mr. Xinming. I'm right," the Mumu Police Department said.
"Because of this, the question I am talking about is rather strange. The name signed next to the title of the manuscript passed over is somewhat different from the first to the sixth, but from the sixth. The signature of the eighth chapter is exactly the same. We can easily infer that this is a copy of the previous signature and printed next to the title." Maori said, "That means that Mr. Xinming must have something now. Things, otherwise, he would never even sign a signature."
"Then I would like to ask you, who do you think would be unfavorable to Mr. Xinming? If his family members receive a blackmail call, then you can say that something happened to Mr. Xinming~EbookFREE.me~ but for now Nothing happened." The Meguro Police Department said, "As for signing, this novel will not be just eight words. People found that it is too troublesome to sign every word, so they simply copied it to avoid trouble."
"This, there is indeed some truth." Mori thought for a while and said, "But if Mr. Shinnam is really hiding somewhere with his wife to concentrate on his writing, then there is no need to avoid their daughter, Miss Kabori. Ah, the past two days without contact, but now it has been a full two months, and there is no phone without a fax machine."
　　 "This, there is indeed some truth." Megome Police Department said.
　　 Conan said, "What if it is not him who uses the fax machine."
"That's right, that's it, it must be this way. Every time a fax machine is used, it is used by criminals, so there is a fax machine, but they can't deliver information." Maori said excitedly, "In other words Mr. Xinming was imprisoned by the gangster, and then left a secret code in the novel that would allow us to find him."
　　 "Signal?" Megome police department asked.
"Mr. Xinming plays a role in the novel. The vocabulary used every time he appears is different from other parts of the novel. Not only does it have Arabic numerals, but also often mixes with English, so the code must be used in these lines in this character. Inside." Maori said.
　　 "That's it," Meguro Police Department said to the editor, "You must have read this novel, please find out these scenes and copy them immediately."
　　 "I'm going now." The editor said. ...
