Chapter 547: The Code of Playing Cards

February 27th, Friday, after six o'clock in the evening, Maori Detective Agency.

A middle-aged woman came to the door, and while Mori invited her to a seat, he asked Conan to inform Yamazaki.

A moment later, just as Lan was serving tea for the middle-aged woman, Yamazaki and Conan came over.

The middle-aged woman said, "My name is Jiujiu Qihui, and I was introduced by Yingli."

Mao Li said: "So that's how it is. That guy keeps clamoring that the person he wants to introduce is you."

"Really, the business introduced by my mother," Lan said with a smile, "The relationship between the two of you is not bad recently, maybe you can get back to the original state soon."

"Is it your fault, Lan?" Molly said. "I thought it was strange that that guy would call me."

"Is it wrong for me to do this? I want my mother to come back soon." Lan said.

"Really, children, don't meddle in the affairs of adults." Mao Li said, "Also, don't tell her about our family, I'll tell you where did you get so much pocket money last time, she lent you .”

"What?" Lan puffed up his mouth angrily.

"Cough!" Maori asked, "Miss Qihui, what can I do for you?"

"Actually," Jiujiuqihui said, "it's about my husband's disappearance last Sunday, which is the 22nd of this month."

"The one who disappeared on the 22nd, it has been five days now, did you call the police?" Mao Li asked.

"I called the police at that time." Jiujiuqihui said.

"At that time?" Mao Li asked, "If it disappeared, it would take 24 hours, right?"

"My husband disappeared at home." Jiujiuqihui said.

"At home? Didn't you run away from home?" Maori asked.

"No, no, we came back from the show that night and couldn't find him everywhere, so we went to his dedicated studio, which was a basement, but he wasn't there, and then we found some vomit on the floor, and a big pile on the table Messy playing cards." Ninety-Nine Qihui said, "Generally speaking, my husband will not let the props be placed like this."

"Props? Performances?" Lan asked, "Excuse me, who are you?"

"We are magicians. My husband is a magician named Jiujiu Yuankang. He is quite famous in the world. We live with three apprentices." Jiujiuqihui said, "We went out to perform that day, but I The husband thought the appearance fee was too little, so he stayed at home."

"Ninety-nine yuan Kang!" Lan laughed, "Dad, I know this man. I often see him on TV as a judge on magic shows. He is a world-renowned magician."

"Is that so?" Molly asked.

"That's right, someone only watches horse racing shows." Lan said angrily, and then smiled, "By the way, Dad, I remembered, didn't our family go to his magic show together when I was young? We even took a photo with Mr. Jiujiu. Well, the photo should be in this cabinet." Then he went to look for the photo.

"That's when I met Eri," said Kujiu Nanakae, "Eri has been working as our family's lawyer since then."

"That's why she introduced you," Maori said.

Ninety-Nine Qihui said: "Yes, Eri said that if you are looking for someone, the one from my family is absolutely reliable.

"

Mao Li blushed a little, and then said: "What is this guy talking about, of course other aspects are not a problem." Then he said, "Please continue."

"I thought someone came to my house and beat my husband and took him away." Jiujiu Qihui said, "But we checked all the surveillance videos and found no one coming in or going out. .”

Maori asked, "So did someone tamper with the surveillance video?"

"No, we invited a security expert to analyze the monitoring system. After spending a day checking, he said that because our yard is so big that when the monitoring camera swings, it will be on every two hours or so. There is a blind spot of about thirty seconds at the main entrance," Jiujiu Qihui said.

"In this way, this person must have come in and out at this time." Mao Li said, "He must have been observing your home for a long time. This is a planned abduction incident."

"But experts can't explain how my husband got out. There are 200 meters between the door of our house and the gate of the courtyard, and because we want to be quiet and don't want people to drive their cars into the yard, there is no concrete road on the ground. , the pavement is just a stone slab for two people to walk side by side." Jiujiu Qihui said, "My husband weighs more than 110 kilograms, he is relatively fat, and he is not tall. Probably ran out the gate and hid in the woods outside the yard. And if a push bed or something is used, the wheels of this thing will definitely leave rolling marks in the ground between the stones with my husband's weight, but no Found this."

Lan said: "By the way, I remember that Mr. Jiujiu is indeed a relatively, um, lenient person."

"Have you found the photo?" Maori said, "Take it here and have a look."

"No, that photo album doesn't seem to be here." Lan said.

Jiujiu Qihui said: "Security experts said that apart from using a helicopter, the only possibility is that two strong people carried my husband out on a stretcher. However, the police said that no helicopter flew over my house that day. There are no footprints on the land between the road and the woods. And if you park on the road and drive away, you will definitely be caught by surveillance cameras."

"It's really strange," Maori said, rubbing his chin.

"Also," Jiujiuqihui said, "Later, the police also found that half a capsule contained in my husband's vomit, and it also contained aconitine."

"Aconitine?" Molly said, "I remember..."

"It's a kind of poison that can paralyze the nerves," Conan said. "It's a drug extracted from the leaves and roots of a plant called Niaodou, which is called Aconite in Chinese. It is used internally to relieve the pain of cancer, and externally used for It paralyzes nerve endings. It is easily soluble in water, which means it takes effect very quickly. 0.2 mg can poison people, and 3 mg can cause death.”

Lan asked in surprise, "Where did these come from..."

Conan said: "There are many on the mountain, and Niaodou is a common Chinese herbal medicine."

"I'm not asking this," Lan asked, "I'm asking Conan, how do you know these things?"

"Me?" Conan said hastily, "On the TV and on the TV, someone had an accident with a bird's bag of wine, and then it was on the TV. There are a lot of introductions on the TV, but I can't remember clearly."

"That's right," Lan said.

"That is to say, your husband once ate a capsule containing aconitine, and then vomited it out again." Mao Li said, "Someone must have asked him to eat it, and he must have vomited it out by himself."

"Hey," Conan asked, "Auntie, who are there in your family?"

Jiujiuqihui said: "There are only three members of our family and my husband's three apprentices. My husband believes that doing housework is also a kind of practice, so the three apprentices take turns to take care of housework."

Mao Li said: "So, this capsule must have been placed by one of these three people."

"But it doesn't make sense. Among my husband's three apprentices, the first one is the current ace of our magic troupe, Sanada Kazuo. He is regarded as my husband's successor. He was chosen by my husband himself to follow us. It has been more than ten years. The second place is Miyoshi Asako. Although she has a willful personality, her skills are first-rate. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is the number one female magician in China. She has been with us since she was very young. The third one is Baidi Yushi, he was introduced by a friend, he is a kid from a rich family who likes magic and wants to become a magician." Jiujiu Qihui said, "It is absolutely impossible for the three of them to harm my husband. And if it was them, then they and I were performing in other places at that time, and there was no way to stop my husband. Since my husband can spit out the poison, he must know it. He will definitely call an ambulance or go to the hospital. , In this case, the surveillance camera will definitely record it."

Mao Li thought for a while and asked: "Then, Ms. Qihui, there is no trace of your home being invaded?"

"No." Jiujiuqihui said, "Besides, our house is electronically locked. If the password is wrong, it is impossible to get in. Only the five of us know the password, not even my daughter."

Mao Li asked: "So, Ms. Qihui, have you received any blackmail letters or similar calls?"

"No." Jiujiuqihui said, "Actually, I really want to receive a blackmail letter, so that at least it can prove that my husband is still alive."

"Well," Molly asked, "are you sure something happened to your husband?"

"Yes, it wasn't confirmed until today." Jiujiu Qihui said, "Today is my daughter's seventh birthday. We originally agreed to celebrate her together, and my husband prepared a birthday gift a month ago. "

Mao Li said: "So, judging from the current situation, an acquaintance went to your house and opened the door, and gave your husband a capsule containing aconitine in order to kill him. After your husband spit out the capsule, he was killed by that People took it away."

"Maybe that's the case." Ninety-Nine Qihui said.

"Then, the only problem is the pile of playing cards on the table." Conan touched his chin and asked, "Is there anything in it that could be a clue?"

"Cough!" Yamazaki reminded, and then saw that Conan was already hot-headed and entered the state, and didn't care at all, and then looked at Lan who was staring at Conan with a strange look, and shook his head helplessly.

Jiujiu Qihui said: "If there is a clue, there are two cards in the pile of playing cards that are glued together, which seems to indicate the phone replay button, and pressing the replay button on the phone under the pile of playing cards Press the key, and a set of numbers will appear." Then he took out two glued playing cards from the bag, and a piece of paper with numbers written on it and handed it to Maori.

"This number should be a code." Mao Li said, and then asked after thinking for a while, "Can you take me to the scene to see?"

Jiujiuqihui said: "Of course it is possible."

Conan said excitedly: "Great, I've long wanted to see what the magician's home looks like."

"No." Maori said, "you little devil stay at home."

"I want to go too." Lan said, "And Conan has watched a lot of weird things on TV, Dad, you can take him there." Then he looked at Conan and said, "He may have a child's eyes. What an unexpected discovery."

"Accidental discovery?" Maori thought for a while and said, "Okay then, but you watch him for me."...
