"Really? You should at least be more enthusiastic..."
Xue Dingyao stuck out her tongue and continued in a cute tone:
"In our navigation software, we will soon receive puzzles and hints about the thief. After solving these puzzles, we can get closer to the thief's location. Next, let's all work together to catch him!"
As Xue Dingyao finished speaking, the event officially began.
"Oh? This activity is designed with great care..." Kogoro Mouri said as he fiddled with the software on his mobile phone.
At this time, several lines of text appeared on the software.
[The place where the thief is hiding is locked. A code is needed to open the lock. The code that can unlock the lock is an English letter.]
"Oh! It's started!" Suzuki Sonoko looked at the hint, moved closer to Mao Lilan, and asked curiously: "Xiaolan! Have you thought of anything?"
"No, no, I'm not a detective..." Mao Lilan showed a helpless smile on her face.
"Damn it! Which English letter can be used as a code? It would be great if Shinichi was still here at this moment. If nothing else, even that brat Conan can do it!"
Suzuki Sonoko stared at the lines of prompts on the software, her eyes widened a lot, and it can be seen that she was very interested in this event.
Behind the two of them, the originally quiet Huiyuan Ai heard this, hesitated for a moment, and spoke intentionally or unintentionally:
"If we interpret it completely in English, will we be able to solve the puzzle?"
Her voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just enough for Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko to hear.
"English?"
Unfortunately, both of them still had a puzzled expression on their faces.
"Jingjun, have you solved the puzzle?" On the side, Suzuki Ayako looked at Shizuki Shizuka beside her.
"Ok?"
It seemed that Shizuka Shizuka was thinking about something and was a little distracted. It was only after hearing Suzuki Ayako's voice that he came back to his senses and quickly looked down at the prompts on the software.
"Yeah, it's untied."
After just a glance, he smiled and pointed to a place on the software map, saying, "The answer is here, the clock tower."
There is a clock tower built in this rice flower Edo street.
Chapter 462: Regel May Have Other Plans
"Clock Tower?"
In the lobby of the guesthouse, Suzuki Sonoko, who had sharp ears, heard Shizuki Shizuka's answer the first time and asked curiously:
"Brother-in-law, why is it the Clock Tower?"
Turning to look at her, Shizuo Shizuka smiled and explained, "According to the hint, the English word for 'lock' is 'lock'. If you add the letter c in front of it, it becomes 'clock', which corresponds exactly to the clock tower in Edo Street."
"I see……"
Although her English was not very good, Suzuki Sonoko still nodded and made an expression as if she understood.
"Although the answer was solved by my brother-in-law, you are also amazing, Ai-chan!"
She suddenly turned around, raised her hand and rubbed the top of Huiyuan Ai's head, and said with a smile:
"You can actually think of using English words to solve the puzzle, not bad! Just like that little kid Conan, you have a talent for detective work!"
"Indeed." Qingshui Jing also turned to look at her with a smile in her eyes.
"I just made a random guess..."
Feeling a little uncomfortable being stared at by Shizuka Shizuka, Haibara Ai subconsciously hid behind Suzuki Sonoko.
"Okay then! Let's head towards the clock tower!"
At this time in the hall, in addition to Maori and his group, there were many people who had already solved the answer to the puzzle. Even those who had not solved it had learned the answer from others and left the hall and walked towards the clock tower.
Walking beside Suzuki Ayako, Shizuka Shizuka held her cell phone, pressed her fingers quickly, and sent a series of numbers to a certain number.
Not far behind him, Toru Amuro and Rena Mizunashi also followed the crowd and left the hall.
"Are we about to take action?" Amuro Toru asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"Wait a little longer, it's not time yet." Rena Mizunoshi replied.
"What do you mean?"
"Reger hasn't given any instructions yet."
"Regel is here too?" Amuro Toru was a little surprised when he heard her say that.
"I don't know." Shaking her head, Mizunashi Reina replied truthfully: "But he contacted me before and asked us to carry out the next plan after receiving his instructions."
The two men came here with only one mission today, which was to track down Kamiya Daimeng who had also escaped here, and use him to lead out the mysterious hostile organization that appeared in the amusement park incident, and further investigate or arrest the members of this mysterious organization.
Kamiya Daimu was the one who was captured by the organization in the amusement park yesterday and is suspected to be a member of that mysterious organization.
Under the planning of Toru Amuro and Rena Mizunashi, they deliberately let this man escape from the basement where he was imprisoned, and then followed this man all the way here.
Regel originally wanted to give the two of them the authority to handle this mission on their own.
[But now he suddenly intervenes... Could it be that something unexpected happened that I'm not aware of? ]
"That idiot probably hasn't discovered the tracker on him yet, has he?"
Without asking too much about Regel's problem, Amuro Toru changed the subject.
The idiot he was referring to was naturally Kamiya Daimeng, whom they deliberately let go.
"Don't worry, not yet." Rena Mizunashi replied.
"By the way, Kiel." Suddenly thinking of something, Amuro Toru asked, "Why did you want to tell those three kids about those things before?"
What he was referring to was what Rena Mizunashi had said before to the three members of the Junior Detective League, that they were chasing after a "fugitive."
It can be said that Rena Mizunashi used the term "capturing the fugitive" to inform the three little ones of their mission.
For Toru Amuro, whose ultimate goal is to "protect this country", he is somewhat dissatisfied with Rena Mizunashi's practice of involving innocent people.
"This is also Regal's request..." With a sigh, Mizunashi Reina explained: "He wants me to use the three children to test the child named Conan.
As for what he wanted me to test, I didn’t know either, he just asked me to do it…”
Rena Mizunashi also felt a little strange. Although Conan was indeed a smart kid, Regler did seem to have some interest in him.
But it's just an interest.
In the organization's previous actions, Regal had never really taken Conan seriously, but this time he suddenly asked her to make such a test, which made people a little suspicious...
[Could it be that there is actually another mystery behind what the three children said about Conan being sick? ]
Such a thought popped up in Mizunashi Rena's mind.
But what does this have to do with Reger?
Is he so idle that he would care about the health of his children?
"Let those three kids test it... Kiel, did you tell Regal that Conan didn't come with the Mori family to the banquet this time?"
After frowning and thinking for a while, Toru Amuro suddenly asked.
"No, I didn't say that." Rena Mizunoshi shook her head and replied.
"Be careful."
After getting her answer, Amuro Toru said in a low voice:
"Since Regel knew that Conan was not here, and still asked you to find those three children to test him, it means that there must be other members of the organization in this hall, and it was these people who told him the situation in the hall.
Of course there is another possibility, that is, he himself is in this hall..."
Toru Amuro is now increasingly suspicious that their mission this time may not be as simple as it seems.
It is very likely that Regel has re-arranged another group of organization members behind his and Rena Mizunashi's actions to carry out another mission that the two of them are unaware of.
Moreover, this mission is likely to be related to Conan who is not here...
"Yeah, I know." Knowing what he meant, Mizunashi Rena nodded.
"Ah! Miss Amamiya!"
Just then, a voice sounded behind the two of them. Rena Mizunashi looked back and found two figures walking towards them. They were Yoko Okino and Terumi Hoshino.
"Ms. Yoko? And Ms. Hoshino?"
Seeing the person coming, Rena Mizunoshi smiled friendly.
"Were you invited as well?"
"Uh-huh!"
He walked up to Rena Mizunashi and hugged her, then smiled and said to Yoko Okino: "I didn't expect that I would meet you here. It seems that we are really destined to meet each other... By the way, who is the person next to you?"
Suddenly, Yoko Okino looked at Toru Amuro who was standing next to her and asked with a smile.
"Toru Amuro is a detective of some fame." Toru Amuro said with a smile.
"Oh~ So you're a detective..."
Nodding, Yoko Okino looked up and down Amuro Toru with a smile.
"Mr. Amuro is really handsome, giving off a lone wolf vibe. He looks like the kind of character in TV dramas who often kills his teammates..."
"Ah?" Toru Amuro was stunned for a moment, not expecting her to say such a thing.
"Oh, sorry! It was unintentional, please don't take it to heart!"
After giving him a meaningful look, Okino Yoko quickly bowed and apologized, then looked at Mizunashi Rena, took her hand, and said with a smile:
"Okay~ Let's not talk about this anymore. Did you solve the puzzle just now? I heard them say it seems to be in the clock tower? Let's go! Let's go together!"
Chapter 463: Puzzle Solving in Progress
"Wow! When I look closer, I realize this clock tower is so tall! It's really impressive!"
Since the first puzzle was solved by Shizuka Shizuka at a very fast speed, Maori and his group were the first guests to arrive at the Clock Tower.
Ran Mao Li looked up and stood in front of the Western-style clock tower that was almost ten stories high, and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
