Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 1049 Mechanism, the key in 10,000 books

There were many ordinary guests in the library who heard the news, and even some people tried brute force to open the wooden box like the uncle, and in the end they were stabbed with their fingers without exception.

It seems to be the idea of ​​the owner of the trap box, except for those Kidd fanatics, most people can come in and visit.

“As you can see,” Jiroji explained, “The box is placed directly on the table, and there is no special guard. As long as it is in this library, anyone can touch it freely.”

“Then what if someone runs away with a box?” Xiaolan asked in confusion.

“Don’t worry about it, as long as you turn on the mechanism, the weight sensor buried in the floor under the table will activate,” the old man Jirogyi demonstrated. “The weight that comes in is only one gram lighter than when you went out…”

Cang Dang!

Jiroji stepped out of the floor, and was enveloped by the iron falling from above, pressing the button again to make the iron cage rise.

It looks very bluff, but it’s an old trick, and I haven’t successfully caught Kidd before…

Gao Cheng was thinking wildly behind.

What if someone farts when they leave?

“Haha,” the old man Jiroji said triumphantly, “How? Even if there is a way to escape from the iron cage, you can’t escape from the library. All entrances here are equipped with iron gates, which will be triggered together with the iron cage.

Even if Kidd secretly opened the box and took away the gems, he would be found out soon! ”

“This box can’t be opened secretly,” the old lady shook her head. “When opening the box, the music box inside will automatically play the melody. I heard the sound of the music box several times in the middle of the night, and then I found out that it was my husband in the study. Inside opened the box…”

Xiaolan asked curiously: “What melody is it?”

“This,” the old lady sighed. “It’s been more than ten years since my husband opened this box last time. I don’t remember it. It seems to be a very well-known nursery rhyme.”

Conan looked at the wooden box and thought about it, and quietly talked to Gao Cheng: “Don’t talk about the others. It seems that I want to open this box anyway, even with the ability of Kaito Kidd… Do you think that guy will do it? Has sneaked in? After all, the guard is so lax, that guy has no reason not to step on it.”

“whatever.”

Gao Cheng’s eyes widened and looked at the mechanism box.

He doesn’t care about Kidd. Unlike Conan, he has no feeling of rivalry at all. He only has the labels of “tool man” and “fat sheep” in his mind.

No way, I knew Kidd’s true identity from the very beginning, without any sense of mystery. That guy is just a ladyboy.

then……

Gao Chengyuguang swept across Xiaolan.

Although I don’t care much, it’s impossible to turn a blind eye.

He felt it from a moment ago, Xiao Lan in front of him is not the right height, if nothing else, it would be Kidd.

Unlike his camouflage card, no matter how superb camouflage ability is, it is impossible to be absolutely perfect. Although Kidd said that she is top-notch in women’s clothing, this time Xiaolan did not wear high heels and her clothes were relatively thin. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t match her height.

Obviously there are so many people who can pretend, this guy actually chose Xiaolan, is it floating?

“Isn’t there a piece of paper that says how to open the trap box?” Gao Cheng turned to the old lady and asked, “In this case, I should be able to open it according to the instructions, right?”

“There is an explanation, but I don’t know where it is.”

The old lady said quietly.

“In the middle of the night, after my husband closed the box, he put an instructional drawing of the mechanism box with arrows and numbers in a book.

Two days later, I went to the study to find the piece of paper, wanting to know which book it was in, but when my husband saw it, he said that I couldn’t find it, so I really haven’t found it until now. ”

“Where are those books?” Uncle Maori asked.

He can’t be so hard to find…

“They have been given to me,” Old Jiroji led everyone into a separate library next to him, “I put it all here.”

The library is not big, but it is surrounded by towering bookshelves full of books. The highest part needs to use two indoor scaffolds to get it, which is comparable to the Kudo’s library.

“Are these all?”

The group was completely shocked.

“At a glance, there are probably ten thousand books, right? When will they be found like this?”

“Mr. Mori,” Jirogyi asked back to the uncle, “how do you think it’s better to start searching?”

“There is no way, I can only find it one by one…”

“I mobilized all the employees before, and searched here for a whole day, but I didn’t find the piece of paper.”

“Uh.”

The uncle froze, feeling a bit shameless, but he said something, and there is no better way.

“Of course, after all, there are tens of thousands of books. It’s impossible to turn over every page, so I just flipped through it quickly,” Jiroji said in a deep voice, “but if you put a piece of paper in the book, it will You should be able to see that page all at once.”

“Well,” the uncle felt a little difficult, “it is true that it is…could it be that you hid it elsewhere?”

“No,” the old lady denied. “My husband unfortunately passed away after a traffic accident a few days ago. He couldn’t have predicted this in advance. Change the place where the paper is hidden.

Moreover, every time I came back from the house, he would say, ‘it seems that the box has not been opened yet because the paper is still stuck in the same place… Is this too difficult for you? But if you really want to read it, I can tell you which book the paper is in…’

He said this, but it was really unwilling to say it as if I could never find it. I didn’t ask him, I always wanted to find out by myself. ”

Gao Cheng’s eyelids collapsed.

This old couple really has a set.

“It’s weird. If there is really a moonstone in the trap box, does your husband have to hide it like this for fear of you finding it?”

“My husband is shy, there may be…”

“and also?”

“I, I don’t know too well, so I just want to open it and take a look.” The old lady hesitated.

Gao Cheng didn’t ask, it was probably the couple’s personal belongings anyway.

Now the important thing is to find the manual of the mechanism box in the tens of thousands of books in this library. Anyway, it is impossible for him to crack the mechanism box. The entry-level mechanism technique is too far away.

The key clue is that the old lady can’t find…

“I said,” Uncle Maori rushed forward and asked the old lady, “that piece of paper should be sandwiched in those books that you don’t usually read, right?”

“Probably,” the old lady recalled carefully, “books I don’t know how to read, there are deadly reasoning, and the fantasy of all kinds of terrible monsters…”

Gao Cheng looked at the uncle behind.

Well, reasoning and fantasy are ruled out.

If the old lady doesn’t know the secret of the explanatory paper, it is of course possible to put it in these types of books, but it will be impossible after the old lady knows it.

Since the old gentleman is sure that the old lady can’t find it, it means that the paper will be caught in the book that the old lady won’t find.

The old lady will search for books that she doesn’t usually read. After all, she is just looking for a note instead of reading the content.

The most dangerous place is the safest…

If you think about it this way, the old lady should be familiar with that book, but she won’t search for it.

Uncle Maori and Conan all went to the bathroom, and the few people who stayed in the library didn’t have the idea to help find them. Instead, they looked at their favorite books.

Gao Cheng glanced over “Xiao Lan”.

This guy is very self-aware, and didn’t accompany the garden to the toilet, but he looks very eye-catching when he comes to find a book, that is, Conan is not there, otherwise he will see through immediately.

Shaking his head, Gao Cheng continued to ask the old lady: “What book are you most familiar with?”

“The most familiar book?” The old lady stunned. “I actually don’t read much, but my husband bought a lot of cookbooks for me who likes cooking.”

Old Man Jirouji looked at Gao Cheng in amazement, and even “Xiao Lan” stopped his movements.

“Is there something wrong with the cookbook?”

“Thousands of books are too many, and need to be narrowed down.”

Gao Cheng put a pile of cookbooks on the table, but didn’t read them right away, just smiled and said.

“The first thing to be sure is that if you look around and read all the books, you won’t find the instructions in the folder even if you read all the books, which means that the paper needs to be found page by page.

But if you can find it page by page, the old man will not be so sure that the wife can’t find it.

There is only one reason, and that is the books that are easily overlooked when the lady is searching. The more familiar the lady is, the less he thinks it will be the place where the old gentleman hides the notes. ”

The old lady looked a little confused: “But, I usually read all of these cookbooks carefully…”

“Do you really read every page?” Gao Cheng asked rhetorically.

“This…” The old lady hesitated.

Certainly some dishes that can be cooked will not be visited specially.

“Let’s put it this way,” Gao Cheng picked up a cookbook. “In these cookbooks, which dishes were you very good at before your husband hid the notes, but you won’t read them in the future?”

“Maybe,” the old lady thought, “my best dish is potato stew, because he likes it very much, so my mother-in-law taught me to cook it myself.”

“Look at the potato stew again.”

Gao Cheng flipped through the cookbooks.

He wasn’t particularly clear about the techniques he couldn’t find after a cursory look, but it wasn’t impossible to do it.

It’s just a little magic.

The principle is that the edges of the paper are not straight. If the edges of several pages are cut off, when you turn the book with your fingers, the shortened pages will be automatically turned over, forming a hidden effect.

This is a method, or just glue the two pages together.

“Yes, potato stew.”

The old man Jiroki was surprised to take a cooking book, unfolding one of the pages, and indeed the manual for the mechanism box was sandwiched.

“That’s amazing, it’s really here! Haha, I’m still a good detective in the city!”

“Snapped!”

The lights in the room suddenly went out and plunged into darkness for an instant.

“Huh? The power went out?”

“Is it Kidd?”

Conan and Uncle Maori just came back, looking a little chaotic in the dark.

“What’s the matter? Have you found that manual?” The uncle heard the old man Jiroji praise Gao Cheng outside, and his face was ugly, so he went to the bathroom, which was too much.

“It’s not the time to talk about this,” the old man Jiroji shouted when he contacted his subordinates, “Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and restore the lighting!”

In the dark library hall, a melodious music box melody caught everyone’s attention, and then there was the sound of the anti-theft iron cage falling.

Conan and the uncle rushed back to the hall again, but Gao Cheng didn’t keep up, just turned on the watch flashlight, and as expected, “Xiao Lan” could not be found.

He didn’t think Kidd really went to open the trap box.

Because the melody of the music box in the dark is obviously wrong, the tune is “Ancient Great Bell ” created by American Henry Walker in 1876. It was only introduced to Japan in 1876, and the Sansumi Yoshiemon at the end of the Shogunate didn’t even listen to it. Over.

Kidd doesn’t seem to know enough about music.

The strange thing is why I chose to shoot at this time, because the manual for the mechanism box has just been found.

“I have worshipped the things in the box…Kidd, the thief!”

The lighting in the hall was restored, and the uncles who rushed to the hall first screamed in exclamation.

“Did you open the trap box of Yoshiemon Misumi in the darkness for just such a little time?”

“How can it be?”

Gao Cheng looked at the Kidd card on the trap box and was speechless.

“That guy just can’t afford to lose.”

“what?”
