Conan's Almighty Extraction

Chapter 26 Reversed Numbers

"I am back."

One night, Shiraiwa Maha and Xiaolan were fiddling with the newly purchased fish tank in the office, and they watched Conan come back from outside with a frown.

Xiaolan noticed that Conan's brows were tightly furrowed, and she couldn't help asking with concern: "Conan, why are you upset? Did something happen?"

"When Yuanta and I were playing by the river this afternoon, we found a man being coerced into sniper practice, and he was likely to engage in some kind of criminal activity, so we notified the Megure Police Department, but the Megure Police Department said they didn't answer. There was a report about someone being kidnapped, so no one has been arranged to follow up on this matter for the time being.”

"However, we found a calculator at the scene with a series of unknown numbers recorded on it. I think it may be some kind of signal left behind by the man after he found us."

Conan told the three of what happened in the afternoon, then wrote the string of numbers [3135134162] on the paper, and began to try to crack the code.

Mori Kogoro took a sip of beer, and casually said ironically: "Cut, you guys know how to think wildly. This kind of single number, no matter how you look at it, it can't be a code. Someone probably forgot to take it away." Bar."

"Impossible, there is an abandoned building, and the calculator is placed under a hidden stone, it must have been hidden there deliberately." Conan shook his head, very sure of his judgment.

After listening to Conan's description, Shiraiwa Maha vaguely recalled that this was a case in the original book, and as for the too specific content, there was no way of knowing it.

"If that man was forced to do sniper practice, this assumption is quite reasonable." Compared with the confused Mori Kogoro, Conan is obviously more reliable, so Shiraiwa Maha expressed his support for Conan.

"I think it's possible too, Dad."

Xiaolan leaned over to take a look, and guessed: "The content related to numbers, could it refer to the date and time of the murder? Or, it's the place where the man was imprisoned. Isn't the homonym of numbers often used in TV dramas as the date and time of the murder?" Is it coded?"

Mori Kogoro put down the beer can, showed a dismissive expression, and said mockingly: "Xiaolan, TV dramas are all deceptive, this string of numbers is a homonym of property and Mr. Wuyi, what kind of code is this, ahahahaha "

"Oh! Many! Sang!"

Xiaolan punched the coffee table with a 'bang', and stared at Kogoro Mori dissatisfiedly, making Kogoro Mori stop laughing in an instant, and pretending to pick up the magazine to read it.

"[Let's take the Heisei Express for a journey of dreams and romance.]" After turning to a page full of advertisements, Mouri Kogoro complained angrily: "What, it's another full page of advertisements, I see this Sooner or later this magazine will be closed.”

Shirayan Maha accidentally glanced at the magazine in Mori Kogoro's hand, and found that the English letters printed on the picture of the Heisei Express train in the center of the page looked familiar, and immediately said: "Uncle, wait a moment and then read it."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Mori Kogoro looked at Maha Shiraiwa in confusion, and stopped the action of turning the page.

After carefully observing the pictures in the magazine for a while, Baiyan Maha looked at the numbers written by Conan, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he reminded with a smile: "Uncle, don't you think this English, and the characters behind that group of numbers Is it very similar?"

In the Maori office at this time, Conan and Xiaolan were sitting on one side of the sofa, and Shiraiwa Maha and Mori Kogoro were sitting opposite them, so the number Shiraiwa Maha saw was reversed, that is [291hEI5EIE] .

And the English of the Heisei express train is HEISEIE? EXPRESS, in the digital display format of the calculator, [HEISEIE] and [hEI5EIE] are almost exactly the same, only one H has a slight difference in capitalization.

"What?! Let me see."

After hearing Shiraiwa Maha's words, Conan grabbed the magazine in Mori Kogoro's hand, compared it carefully, and said excitedly: "So that's it, I understand, the target of the other party is the Heisei express train, as for the one in front The three numbers 291 represent the time for sniping."

Bai Yanzhenyu nodded in agreement, and then added reasoning: "And according to your description, the other party hijacked a professional sniper, so in order to avoid the police's intervention, he will definitely commit the crime before the kidnapping is exposed."

"In addition, you discovered that the time of the sniping was at one o'clock in the afternoon, so the three numbers [291] refer to one o'clock in the afternoon on the 29th, which is one o'clock in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

"But even if you know the target of the opponent's sniping, and the date and time of the sniping, you still don't know where the opponent will commit the crime." Xiao Lan frowned, and then asked a new question.

"Well, if the water flow is compared to the train, then the river is equivalent to the rails. Since the opponent chooses to practice sniping in the river, the track with a similar shape to the river is the target point for local sniping."

Mori Kogoro stroked his chin and pondered for a while, and finally deduced a correct clue.

"That's right, as long as we find the section of track with a similar shape, we can reversely infer the opponent's actual sniping position based on the shooting direction and angle during the opponent's practice this afternoon."

Conan, who had thoroughly deduced the truth, finally relaxed, and urged: "Uncle Maori, hurry up and notify the Megure Police Department to arrange an arrest operation in advance."

"Well, leave it to me."

Mori Kogoro called the Megure Police Department and told the other party what everyone had deduced just now. Of course, as usual, he took all the credit for himself.

The next day, everyone joined the Megure Police Department, and after comparing the shape of the river with all the lines passed by the Heisei Express, they found a track similar to the shape of the river.

Afterwards, the Mumu Police Department sent its subordinates to various commanding heights near the track for comparison, and found the location where the other party was going to snipe tomorrow.

After confirming the location of the sniper, the Mumu Police Department ordered his subordinates to close the team, leaving only a few plainclothes personnel squatting nearby.

In an atmosphere of tension and anticipation, the day passed quickly.

At noon on the 29th, the Mumu police department had just arranged for the police teams to receive a report from the guards that the prisoner appeared at the scene with the hostages.

"Very well, prepare to act and ensure the safety of the hostages."

Following the order of Police Officer Mu Mu, the police who had been waiting for a long time attacked decisively, successfully arrested several prisoners, and rescued the kidnapped and threatened sniper and his girlfriend.

Successfully prevented a vicious murder, which made Mori Kogoro more famous in the police circle, and Shiraiwa Maha, who participated in solving the case, also exploded with a wave of European spirit, and obtained a new professional-level skill from the task reward .
