Chapter 121: Shooting on the River

Saturday, April 27.

The weather is fine today. Head Yuantai of the Boy Detective Group decided to hold a picnic for the detective group. The place is by the river. The source of the picnic food is the fish provided by the river next to it. In order to express their determination to eat the fish they caught, the three members of the detective team only brought some water. After calling Conan out of the house, the four detectives went to the river.

Seeing many fishes of different sizes swimming around in the river, it felt like it was easy to catch, but after the three members of the detective team went down, they realized that catching fish is also a technical job, and a lot of finger-sized fish were copied. , but there is none that can be eaten.

Seeing Conan lying in the grass to catch up on sleep, Mrs. Yuan shouted: "Conan, come down and help."

Looking at the fishing tools lined up, three small buckets, one of which still contains small fish, and three dip nets are being used. Shaking his head, Conan picked up two empty buckets and went down.

After chasing and intercepting, with the help of three members of the detective team and three nets, after struggling for more than an hour, two buckets respectively covered two large edible fish.

"What should I do now? How do I take them out?" Touching his belly, Yuan Tai said, "I'm a little hungry."

"It's easy," Mitsuhiko said with a smile, "Just open a slit and put the net in, and then pick it up slowly."

"Yuantai, what are you going to eat?" Conan asked, "Why didn't I see the pot?"

"Of course it's baked," Yuan Tai said, "Just like on TV, it's skewered with a stick."

"Just bake like this?" Conan asked helplessly.

"Is there a problem?" Yuantai said uncertainly, "It should be cooked."

"That," Mitsuhiko said, "it seems to be removing the scales and internal organs."

"Ah, you guys are so cruel, the fish are so pitiful." Ayumi said, "Let's let them go." Before anyone could answer, she quickly opened the bucket and let go of the two big fish. fish.

Seeing this, the three of Yuan Tai had no choice but to go ashore. Looking at the bucket of small fish, Yuan Tai said: "Put these away too, these are not edible." Then he walked over.

"No," Ayumi said hurriedly in front of the bucket, "I want to take these back and raise them."

"Then let's catch some and raise them." Mitsuhiko immediately suggested.

"Okay." Yuan Tai immediately agreed.

"Hey, Genta," Conan asked, looking at his watch, it was getting closer, "Have you brought your bento?"

"Ah," Yuan Tai said immediately, "You said I was hungry." Then he asked, "How about we go back to eat?"

"Wait a little longer," Mitsuhiko said, "Let's go after I catch some more."

At this time, a remote-controlled speedboat with a balloon attached sailed past the waters where the detective team was located, attracting the attention of the detective team. And just after it walked away, when the four members of the detective team looked back, there was a sudden noise, and then the balloon burst in response.

It was a gunshot, Conan was startled, and immediately took the binoculars brought by Mitsuhiko and put it on the bank to avoid getting wet, followed the gunshots, and looked towards the stop building across the river. On the roof, a man was holding a He stood up with the rifle and looked around him. There were four men in black suits, two of whom were holding a pistol each, but they were pointing at the head of the man holding the rifle.

Seeing this, the telescope was suddenly snatched away by Yuan Tai who was curious about what he was looking at.

"Wow, it's a gun. It was a gunshot just now." Mrs. Yuan shouted, "Oh no..."

At this time, Conan snatched the telescope back again, but he could no longer see anyone.

"Conan, let me see." Mitsuhiko said.

"It's gone." Conan asked, "Yuantai, what did you see just now?"

"Well, I used a telescope to reflect the sunlight on his eyes, and I saw him take a look here, he must have spotted us." Yuan Tai said nervously, "Let's go, he has a gun. "

"No, he was forced." Conan said, "Come with me."...

When he got to the place where the man was standing just now, Yuan Tai asked, "Did you shoot that balloon from here?"

Mitsuhiko exclaimed: "If this is the case, it is really a powerful technique."

Ayumi asked, "Is that man doing shooting practice?"

"Or is it just a test?" Conan guessed.

"Test?" Ayumi asked back.

Conan said: "And it's compulsive."

Yuan Tai asked back: "Forcing?"

"I saw two other people pointing guns at that man just now." Conan replied, crawled on the ground and looked around.

Ayumi asked, "What are you doing?"

"The man saw us," Conan said. "I was wondering if there was something left, something that we could call the police."

So, the detective team searched around the roof. After searching, they found a calculator behind a brick on the steps going downstairs.

Looking at the number above, 3135134162, Yuan Tai, who didn't understand, asked, "What are these numbers?"

Conan guessed: "I wonder if it's the person who shot the rifle and wanted to leave a signal for us."

"Did he really leave it?" Ayumi asked.

Mitsuhiko asked: "But, what is the meaning of these numbers?"

The four of them thought for a while, but they didn't come up with a clue for a while. Conan said: "No matter what, we have to notify the Megure Police Department first." Then he asked, "Which of you has a detective badge?"

The three of them shook their heads together, and Ayumi said, "We didn't bring it because we were afraid we might accidentally get wet."

Remembering that they changed their clothes today, the four of Conan had no choice but to find the phone honestly. Because Conan only likes to wear this blue suit and gray shorts, when Lan Zai went shopping with Mei Daizi and Yuanzi, she bought a few sets specially for Conan to replace.

Ten minutes later, the police call was finally made. Thirty minutes later, the Mumu Police Department finally arrived, bringing a policeman with them.

After introducing the situation and presenting the calculator, Conan said, "If I'm not mistaken, the man should have been kidnapped and brought here because it looks like he was forced."

"However, until now, no report has been received." After looking around with a telescope, the Mumu Police Department said helplessly, "After looking around just now, I didn't find any clues."

"No way," Yuan Tai shouted, "Please investigate carefully, maybe you can find bullets on the other side or in the river, definitely."

"That is to say," Mitsuhiko said, "and that radio-controlled boat, maybe it's..."

"However, unfortunately, the past few days just happened to be on consecutive vacations, and most of the investigators have gone on vacation." Shaking the calculator in his hand, the Mumu Police Department said, "By the way, I think this is the way to do it." , investigate this calculator first. Well, that’s it. Okay, I’ll go first, say hello to Maori for me.” After finishing speaking, he took the calculator and left.

"Look at the expression of this old policeman, he doesn't believe us at all." Yuan Tai, the head of the young detective team, said, "Okay, you have all written down the number, you have to think about it when you go back, we must first decipher it .”…

Maori Detective Agency.

After leaving a small fish for Conan, the three members of the detective team went home.

Lan took out the old fish tank and raised Conan's little fish. Looking at the fish tank on the tea table, there are small fish with thick fingers that are not as long as fingers, and Yamazaki, who is sitting on the sofa, smiled and asked: "You guys eat this at noon, really..."

"Ah," Conan immediately called out, "Sister Lan, do you have anything to eat? I'm starving to death."

"Sorry," Lan said, looking at the fish, "I haven't done it yet."

"Not full?" Yamazaki said with a smile, "It seems that the level of fishing is not enough."

"What?" Conan said helplessly, "I think it's cruel to eat, so I let it go."

Mori, Yamazaki, and Ran laughed together, and Ran suggested, "Why don't you have cup noodles first."

"Okay," Conan said, "by the way, take a look at this and see what you find." Then he wrote down the number in a notebook, and then told what happened in the afternoon,

"I don't understand." After looking at it, Yamazaki said, "I'm not very good at solving such riddles."

Sitting next to him, reading a magazine, and drinking beer, Maori complained: "What is taking the Heisei Express, a journey of dreams and romance? It's just some old photos." Then he took the notebook and said, "Come on, I have a look."

As the water boiled, Lan asked, "How is it, Dad?"

"How could this kind of number be a signal? Maybe it's just something someone forgot to take away." Throwing the notebook on the tea table, Mao Li said, "Really, during the consecutive holidays, even the police department They were all found by you."

Lan immediately complained: "Dad!" Then said, "By the way, this assumption may also be true. Maybe the man was forced to do sniper practice, so he secretly left the signal from the calculator to Conan. "

Conan asked, "Is it referring to the place or the date of the assassination?

"Maybe it's the other party's name or the place where he's being imprisoned." Lan laughed. "By the way, people often use the pager to call codes, which are like homonyms."

"Then," Maori said with a smile, "the seven numbers in front of it are 'property and Mr. May Day'."

"How is that possible." Lan retorted, and then said, "By the way, the last three endings may be the room number of a hotel or building. If not, the road, um, for example, may be a national highway."

"So, what was before that?" Maori asked.

"I believe those numbers must have been covered up," Lan said, "in case the bad guys find out about the computer."

"In that case, it means that the shape of the river is the shape of the road," Maori said, touching his chin, "then, the flow of water is the opposite of the flow of cars."

Recalling the anti-'S'-shaped river, Conan found the county road in Saitama according to the map of National Route 162, with the same shape and the same number.

Lan looked at it and said with a smile: "Conan has been found, Dad will ask you tomorrow." Then he said, "Okay, Conan can eat."...

The next day, Saitama Prefecture.

Driving a seven-seater car, Maori drove Yamazaki, Conan, Ran, Mitsuhiko, Ayumi and Genta to the area on the map found yesterday.

"I'll just say, please me." Maori complained, "Really, why do I have to rent a car and drive for you?"

"Because none of us have a driver's license." Lan laughed.

"Oh, that uncle, are you a detective?" Yuan Tai asked, "Why don't you even have a car?"

"I don't have money to buy a car." Ayumi said.

"And he doesn't seem to drive very much usually." Mitsuhiko said, "I think it's safer to fasten your seat belt." Then he took the lead in fastening his seat belt, and Genta and Ayumi also fastened it immediately.

"Hey, hello, you little brats," Maori took the time to turn around and said, "I'll tell you..."

"You can't look at the side while driving." Lan said and reached out to push Maori's head, making him look forward.

"It's good to rent a car. As a detective, renting a car is really worry-free." Yamazaki explained with a smile, "You must know that detectives are not a safe profession. It is common for this car to have bumps and bumps. If It’s my own, what a hassle, and more importantly, heartache. But a rented car doesn’t have these troubles.”

"That's right, that's it," Maori laughed immediately, "That's right."

Yuan Tai asked: "Really?"

Mitsuhiko said, "It seems to make sense."

"It should be," Ayumi said, "I often get scratches on the cars of those detectives on TV."

Looking out of the window, Conan shouted: "Stop, stop, let's take a look here."...
