Chapter 1867: Puzzle Solving in the Library

Many years ago, on July 11th, Saturday, Didan Primary School.

While washing the dishes after lunch, Kudo secretly approached Shanglan and invited him confidently, "Would you like to go treasure hunting together?"

Lan blinked, remembering what happened last night, "You mean..."

Kudo quickly interrupted: "Hush! That's our secret."

Lan covered her mouth and asked softly, "Have you unlocked the code?"

"Well," Kudo said with a bright smile, "we will meet at Dr. Ali's house later."

"Okay." Lan nodded.

Sonoko jumped out, "What are you talking about?"

"It's nothing." Kudo slipped away.

Yuanzi shifted his target, "Lan?"

"It's really nothing." Lan quickened his pace.

"Say no."

"No really."

Yuanzi smirked and tried to tickle Lan, and Lan screamed and slipped away. ...

In the afternoon, at the home of Dr. Ali.

After knocking on the door, Lan said, "Excuse me, Doctor."

Dr. Li with black hair smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm very happy. I haven't seen you two together for a long time. You two always played together before, but recently you suddenly separated, which makes me very worried. , I wonder if you guys had a fight."

Kudo argued, "That's not the case, right, Mori?"

"Yeah." Lan was a little uncomfortable.

"Maori?" Dr. Ali was a little surprised.

"It's Mori-san." Kudo said, and then asked eagerly, "Stop talking about this, doctor, can you drive us out for a while?"

"No problem," Dr. Ali agreed, "Where are you?"

"Kado Port." Kudo said.

Lan asked, "Why did you go there?"

"I'll tell you on the way, hurry up and leave." Kudo urged. ...

Kubado Port.

There are many policemen on the pier. The murderer who happened last night has been caught and is now collecting evidence.

According to the red color mentioned by the shadow man, Kudo snapped a piece of paper on the red fire hydrant. It was red to the outside, and you couldn’t see it unless you looked carefully.

Another password.

Kudo thought the Toriya Sluice Gate, but after going there, he didn't find anything red. When he was going to see the Toriya Castle that Dr. Agasa said, the alarm light at the railway crossing sounded, and it was red.

Kudo snapped a piece of paper on the railing, the yellow background was still a code.

According to the code, I found the school next to the Okusui post office, and found another code under the red "stop" sign, and the paper was silver-gray.

There are six vertical Chinese characters of rice, flower, middle, country, scholar, and east, and the word east is in a square frame.

At this time, Maori and the Mumu Police Department drove by.

Mao Li found Lan and stopped the car, "Lan, why are you here because you won't be home after school?"

Kudo rushed to reply: "The doctor wrote a few codes, we are playing a game of solving the codes, right, doctor?"

"Ah? Hmm." Dr. Ali smiled wryly.

The Mumu Police Department added with a smile: "Solving codes or something, I miss it so much. I also played puzzle games with my companions when I was young."

Lan said: "But this is so difficult, I can't understand it at all."

"Show me." Maori stretched out his hand.

"Yes, but it's really difficult." Kudo said.

"What are you talking about, we are the police." Mao Li snatched the code, "This kind of code to deceive children, you only need to read it to understand."

However, when Maori saw it, sweat came out because he couldn't understand it at all.

"Well, in short, this seems to be a well-thought-out code."

Kudo said teasingly: "What, didn't you untie it?"

Maori pretended not to hear the code and returned the code to Dr. Ali,

Then he asked Megure Police Department, "Police Department. How about the one that you haven't played for a long time tonight, mahjong?"

The Mumu Police Department smiled and said: "I thought so too, I don't know why, but after reading this code, I want to play mahjong."

Maori touched Lan's head, "Then, Lan, I'm leaving first, go home early."

"Well, goodbye, Dad." Lan waved.

Dr. Ali smiled and said, "I will send her back."

"Then please." Mao Li and the Mumu Police Department got into the car and left.

Later, according to the rules of mahjong, an extensive and profound recreational activity, Kudo believed that the secret sign refers to Dongfengchang Guoshi Wushuang-type draw tiles, and the combination of the three words field, tile type, and listen tiles is the district office.

There is no district office in Mihua Town, only a branch office, but it doesn't matter.

The three of them looked for it, and the red one was the flag, and they found the code on the flagpole, which said the end, that is, the last one.

S→W

It happened to be dusk, and the sunset was infinitely beautiful.

Kudo thinks that the secret signal is to let them look to the west and see the beautiful sunset.

Lan admired: "It's so beautiful."

Dr. A Li smiled and said, "So that's what happened."

Kudo suddenly laughed, "Hey, I see, who is the author of this code."

"Who is it?" Lan asked.

"It's my father." Kudo said, "My father must have asked one of his friends to make this sign and lead us here to let us see the sunset. The reason is probably because I have been staying at home all the time recently. Head down to read."

Dr. A Li said: "But you can meet the man who gave you the password because you happened to go to school at night."

Kudo said: "Sonoko and Lan said that they heard about the monster story in the library from an uncle in the library. Most likely, that uncle is the man in the school at night."

Lan blinked, did he hear wrong just now?

Dr. A Li said: "Oh, so, he knows you and knows you very well. Just tell Lan and Yuanzi about it, and they will tell it. And if you like mysterious events, you will definitely go to school."

"That's right, so it must be my father." Kudo said, "We were all played around by him."

Lan shook her head and said, "No, isn't this great, and I can still see such a beautiful sunset."

"Although I'm still a little unwilling, but I think so too, Lan, ah, I'm sorry, Maori." Kudo blurted out again, then reacted and quickly changed his words.

"No, just call me Lan." Lan cried a little excitedly, then felt a little embarrassed, lowered her voice, and asked with some expectation, "Just call me Lan, is that okay?"

"If you think it's good, I have nothing to do with it." Kudo was also a little embarrassed, he just followed the Romans, his name was Maori, and he was not used to it.

"Really? That's great, Shinichi!" Ran hugged Kudo and led him to spin.

Kudo lifted his feet off the ground and shouted in fear, "Stop it!"

Dr. A Li smiled and helped, and asked the two to stand upright.

Lan clapped her hands and laughed, "By the way, I'm going to thank Xinyi's father."

Kudo smiled and said: "Fool, if you want to thank, thank the friend of my father who is still nearby, the one who gave me the password."

Dr. A Li looked around and asked, "Hey? Is he around here?"

Kudo said with a smile: "In order for us to see the sunset at the right time, he should have been monitoring us, because he doesn't know how long it will take us to unlock the code."

Dr. A Li said: "That's right, he has been observing our progress, if we unlock the code, he will take the first step to prepare the next code, and he can also adjust the time, as long as we reach this place at this time place, it doesn't matter what the code in the middle is."

Lan asked, "But, that person may also be Shinichi's father, isn't it?"

Kudo smiled angrily and said, "No, if this person were my dad, he would appear now, and then he would say something like 'Why did it take so long'."

Dr. Ali smiled and said: "Well, indeed, this is Yusaku's style."

Lan put her hands in the shape of a trumpet near her mouth to amplify the sound, "Uncle last night, you must have heard me, I will put my thoughts in the wallet you gave me yesterday, remember to come and get it, it is hidden in that bookcase Here, it is next to where you stood last night, you must see it."

Dr. A Li smiled and said, "It's enough to hear what you said."

"Let's go, it's time to go home." Kudo said with a smile, "Maybe Lan, your mother has already gone to my house."

"Ah, let's go, let's go." Lan said anxiously. ...

On the other side, Kudo's house.

After Youxizi answered the door, she saw that it was Fei Yingli, and her face was tense, as if she was inquiring about the crime, and she immediately smiled, "It's Yingli, come in and have a seat."

"No, I won't go in," Fei Yingli said holding back her anger, "I just want to know if Lan recently..."

You Xizi said cunningly first: "Ah, if you are looking for Lan, she and Xiaoxin went out with Dr. A Li."

Yusaku Kudo came out, "Compared to watching TV and playing games at home, it's not bad to go out for a walk with curiosity. Our Xiaoxin has been reading at home all the time, so thank you very much for your daughter. Take Xiaoxin out."

You Xizi gave a thumbs up behind her, and the husband and wife smiled at the same time.

Fei Yingli was stunned for a moment, then she became amused, "You really have a tacit understanding, you are indeed husband and wife."

You Xizi smiled and said, "Okay, okay, don't worry, kid, there's nothing wrong, it's normal to fight around."

"Really, you always look like an optimist." Fei Yingli said, "However, if Shinichi bullies Ran..."

You Xizi packed the ticket and said: "You don't need to say, I won't be the first to spare him." Then he said with a playful smile, "Don't be angry, come on, it's rare for you to come to the door recently, come in and have a seat."

"I didn't come here because of this, it's just by chance." Fei Yingli said, "The Megure Police Department asked me to transfer the message to Yusaku, saying that the police are very grateful for your help. Thanks to you, the gem was not stolen. .”

Yukiko smiled and said, "It must have been the incident where Yusaku chased away the Phantom Thief before."

Yusaku Kudo smiled and said, "No, no, it should be said that it is correct to let him escape beautifully."

"No," Yukiko realized, "Why did the call go to you, Eri?"

Yusaku Kudo was stunned, embarrassed.

Fei Yingli said angrily: "Ask your husband. The Mumu Police Department added that they have called many times but have not been able to get through."

You Xizi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Xiaoyou, did you unplug the phone again?"

Kudo Yusaku said awkwardly: "Well, the delivery time is coming soon, I want to concentrate on writing the manuscript."

Fei Yingli said: "I have brought the words, I will go back first."

You Xizi asked, "Aren't you going to sit down?"

Fei Yingli said: "I really don't have time, I have to prepare for the lawsuit next week, and I still have a lot of documents to read."

You Xizi smiled and said, "Oh, speaking of it, this is your first project as a lawyer."

"Yes." Fei Yingli said with emotion.

You Xizi encouraged, "Come on."

"Thank you." Fei Yingli said with a smile while waving goodbye, "But because it's the first time, there is a possibility that I will lose completely. At that time, you have to comfort me."

"No problem." Yukiko also waved.

When Concubine Yingli left, Yuxiko put her index finger to her mouth and thought, "Ah, what is Yingli's lawsuit this time, I can't remember it at the moment."

Kudo Yusaku said with a smile: "It's a dispute over Miko's purchase of land. Those people are not greedy enough. Seeing that the price of land has risen again, they think the land sold before is not good and want to increase the price. How is this possible? This lawsuit won without a fight."

Yukiko suggested: "Ah, by the way, Miko has become very rich recently, so let's play stocks too."

Yusaku Kudo shook his head and said: "Newton has been in the financial market before, so don't touch things you don't understand."

You Xizi was a little bit unwilling, "But, there are many, many people who have made money."

Yusaku Kudo changed the subject, "Speaking of which, who do you seem to be meeting with later, the magician who accepted you as an apprentice in order to let you shape the character?"

"Ah, Xiaoyou is jealous, I'm so happy." You Xizi said happily.

Yusaku Kudo turned around and went back, "That's not the case at all."

"Don't run, let me see if you are blushing, I don't believe Xiaoyou that you can't remember people's names." You Xizi happily chased after her. ...
