Chapter 1021 Decryption in Progress
Youya clapped his hands: "Okay, now that we know what to do, let's start looking for clues."
"Oh!" The three little kids raised their hands excitedly in response.
Yuya smiled, looked at Miyano Shiho, and started to help search.
Conan crawled under the desk, searched around on the ground first, then turned his head to look under the desk.
Sato Miwako also rolled up her sleeves and called out to Miyamoto Yumi: "Yumi, let's start looking too."
Yumi Miyamoto responded blankly, glanced around the room, and finally set her eyes on the bed. She hesitated for a moment and lifted the quilt.
Bookshelves, wardrobes, drawers... every place was opened and searched.
"Hey, there is a strange piece of paper." Suddenly, Yuan Tai shouted.
When everyone turned around, they saw Yuantai holding a trash can in his hand and a piece of paper lying on the floor in front of him, and they immediately surrounded him.
Yumi Miyamoto looked at the strange symbols drawn on the white paper and was confused: "What, what is this?"
The symbols on the drawings are strange in shapes, with straight lines, arcs, and triangles combined together.
Miwako Sato blinked and remained silent.
Miyano Shiho pinched her chin and frowned slightly.
Two policemen and a scientist couldn't understand it, let alone three little brats.
In the end, they could only turn their hopes to Yuya.
Ayumi blinked her big eyes and asked cutely, "You will definitely understand what Brother Yuya said, right?"
Youye scratched his cheek awkwardly and remained silent. The picture on the code paper was too abstract and he had no idea what to do for a moment.
Ayumi turned her gaze to Conan again: "Where's Conan?"
Conan took a picture of the code paper into his mobile phone early in the morning and stood aside thinking.
But now he was sweating profusely, with his eyes wide open, and looked like he was thinking hard, but it was obvious that he had no idea.
Yuya pondered slowly. Generally, there is a common decryption method for this kind of disordered code. The most common one is to have another decryption table, or a decryption paper that can be used as a decryption paper...
At this time, Ayumi suddenly pointed at the code paper and said, "Look, if you cover this part, does it look like the Arabic numeral 1?"
Youye took a closer look and said, "That's true..." Was he overthinking the problem?
"But how can I cover it?" Ayumi frowned again.
At this time, Miyano Shiho reminded: "Could it be that chessboard?"
Everyone immediately turned their eyes to the chessboard in the room.
Miyamoto Yumi's eyes lit up: "Indeed, this chessboard is placed so abruptly in the middle of the room, which is indeed a bit suspicious. Maybe it is a hint of something?"
As she spoke, she pretended to glance at Yazuka Toruroku casually, but he snorted silently at her instead.
A cross appeared on Yumi Miyamoto's forehead, and she shouted, "Okay, in that case, let's all work together to decipher this code!"
After saying that, he sat down in front of the chessboard and poured out all the chess pieces in the box next to him.
"Oh!" The three little brats came up excitedly.
Conan looked at it and said nothing. He had no idea at the moment. Maybe the chess piece was indeed the decryption table?
···
On the other side, Wang Jiangzhan competition is taking place.
Hideyoshi Haneda held a chess piece in his hand, staring at the chessboard without putting it down. He sometimes frowned, sometimes held his forehead in deep thought, looking as if he was thinking about the chess game.
But he was the only one who knew that he was worried about why Yumi Miyamoto hadn't replied to him yet.
We had made an agreement ten years ago that I would open the envelope after I won seven championships.
Regardless of whether she agrees or not, there should be an answer, right?
But he waited for a long time, and waited until this year's Wang Jiangzhan came, but he didn't get any reply.
Sheng Youli noticed something was wrong.
As a top shogi player, he quickly realized that Haneda Hideyoshi was not thinking about the game at all. No, it would be more accurate to say that a large part of his mind was not on playing chess at all.
Is it because you said in the magazine interview that you didn’t have the heart to play chess because you didn’t get a response from the important person?
Katsumata was not angry. In his opinion, even though Haneda Hideyoshi was gifted, he was still too young, and this part of his character had not grown enough.
If it were him, he would not be distracted by other things when playing chess.
But he didn't want Haneda Hideyoshi to play against him in this state, because even if he won, it would be an unfair victory.
So Katsumata said, "I see you look troubled. Why don't you go to lunch break early? I don't mind."
Haneda Hideyoshi came back to his senses and looked at Katsumata's calm expression. He said seriously, "No, just continue like this."
He picked up a chess piece, took a deep breath, and said to himself, “I have to keep the Seven Crowns and be fully prepared to wait for Yumi’s response.
This is the chess move I decided on from the beginning.
That’s right, I want to stick to my original intention!”
···
Inside the apartment.
Miyamoto Yumi looked at the code paper with the chess pieces on it and said with a frown, "Although the chess pieces are placed, none of them look like numbers."
Everyone tried placing the chess pieces from different angles and postures, but they were still unable to come up with eight numbers.
Not to mention the numbers, the symbols covered by the chess pieces have become more bizarre and more abstract than before.
"That's totally impossible." The three little brats lay dejectedly on the chessboard.
Seeing that the decryption of the chessboard failed, Youya put forward his previous guess.
Perhaps there is another similar coded paper that serves as a decryption table. By stacking the two pieces of paper together, they can get the corresponding letters or numbers; or perhaps the coded paper they found at the beginning is actually the decryption table, and the real coded paper is still hidden in this room.
Conan expressed the same opinion.
Seeing that the two detectives who were best at reasoning said this, everyone continued to search the room.
"Okay, guys, let's find another piece of code paper right away!"
"Oh!" The three little brats responded loudly.
Youya couldn't help but smile bitterly. These three little brats were completely aroused by Miyamoto Yumi, just like a general with his retainers, no, with his soldiers.
So everyone continued to search in the room.
Yumi Miyamoto and Miwako Sato stood in front of the bookshelf, flipping through books and chatting.
Yumi Miyamoto: "Come to think of it, looking for things like this reminds me of the game of finding bamboo shoots."
"Looking for bamboo shoots?" Sato Miwako was stunned.
Yumi Miyamoto said: "One time when I went to Xiongji's apartment to play, he wanted to show me his precious fan, but he couldn't find it. In the end, I helped him find it."
When he heard Yumi Miyamoto mention Hideyoshi Haneda, Yazuka Toraroku, who had originally closed his eyes in deep thought, immediately opened his eyes and looked over.
Sato Miwako was very confused: "So why is it called looking for bamboo shoots?"
