Chapter 1095: Unlocking the Code, Dangerous Basement
Miyano Shiho asked tentatively: "If it's not a kana, could it be English letters?"
Yuya thought it was unlikely: "There are only 26 letters of the English alphabet, how can they fill up 46 grids?"
Miyano Shiho was a little disappointed: "That's true."
Yuya started to think, could it be that it was not kana, but the writing of other countries?
But Youya thought of the characters of several common countries, and none of them fit the current situation.
So, we should still use pseudonyms to decipher it, maybe the order is wrong?
Wait, order? Yuya's eyes suddenly widened. He took out a pen, quickly redrawn a form, and then filled in the 46 kana in a certain order.
Miyano Shiho looked at him in confusion and couldn't help asking, "Yuya, is this order wrong?"
Yuya smiled slightly: "Yes, that's right."
Miyano Shiho was about to say something but stopped herself. This was completely different from the 50-character kana chart she knew.
Yuya smiled and said, "Mio, you came back to Neon when you grew up, so there are some histories you may not know."
"In fact, the 50-sound chart for learning kana was not invented at the beginning. Before the invention of the 50-sound chart, Japanese people mainly relied on some songs to memorize kana. These songs are called hand-learning songs."
"The most famous of these is the Iroha song, which was created shortly before the Gokudō gram was introduced.
If I'm not mistaken, the correct order of the decryption table is not the 50 sounds, but the Iroha song."
Miyano Shiho suddenly realized that she had not thought of such a long history.
"Then let's start over again." Youya gestured.
Miyano Shiho nodded, picked up the new decryption table, began to convert the code that Yuya read out, and successfully obtained the complete sentence -
The things have been divided, come over here!
"Who is this?!" Miyano Shiho widened her eyes. "Could it be that the person who died in the basement is?"
Yuya nodded: "Yes, he should be one of the four people who robbed the gold bars 10 years ago, and he is also the one responsible for selling the stolen goods."
Miyano Shiho was even more confused: "But why did he die there? Could it be that the spoils were not divided evenly..."
"No," Youye shook his head, "If I'm not mistaken, his death may have something to do with me..."
Miyano Shiho was stunned.
Yuya also recounted the incident when he, Conan, and Mao Lilan were stopped outside the old warehouse.
“If I’m not mistaken, the person who stopped us at that time was the dead robber.
Maybe he went out temporarily, and when he came back he saw us find the note and thought we found the stolen money. But he felt it was not safe to tie it to the door handle, so he took the note with him and went back to the basement to check if the stolen money was still there.
As for the bag of lime he was holding in front of his chest...it was probably because his accomplice had not come yet and he was worried that a teacher would come to take the lime and discover the stolen money, so he wanted to move the lime into the warehouse, but he accidentally fell to his death. "
Miyano Shiho nodded thoughtfully.
I didn't expect so many coincidences to happen. The robber's death was his own fault. When he robbed the gold bars, he killed the owner of the family.
Yuya took out his cell phone and prepared to call Inspector Megure, when suddenly a classmate next to him shouted that a news report had been released online saying that a skeleton was found in the basement of the old warehouse of Teitan Elementary School, and there was a note with a secret code next to the body.
Just at this moment, the class bell rang and Wakasa Rumi walked in to prepare for class.
Yuya hesitated, exited the dialing interface, and began to compose a text message.
Perhaps it was her first class, Wakasa Rumi was a little shy and covered half of her face with a book, but she would glance at Yuya from time to time.
Until she arranged the students to do exercises, she walked back and forth pretending to watch them do the exercises, but in fact she was checking the table on Yuya's desk. After seeing the contents clearly, a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"It seems that you are better than I thought."
"High school detective, Yuya Kamiya."
···
On the other hand, Conan's progress is much behind Yuya.
Without the secret reminder from Wakasa Rumi in the original work, and because he was not as sensitive to Chinese characters as Yuya, he did not discover the secret of the Seven Stars and radicals until Yuya sent the message.
It took a lot of effort to decipher the code, and at the same time the school bell rang.
Conan hesitated, took out his cell phone and sent a message to Yuya. After a moment, he looked at the reply on his phone and became dejected - he lost again.
Conan and the three little kids packed their schoolbags and just walked out of the teaching building, they saw a lot of adults standing at the door, who seemed to be there to pick up their children.
Conan's eyes flashed with doubt - usually there aren't so many parents? Could it be...
Thinking of this, Conan looked around and saw Yuya's back walking towards the back of the school.
He quickly caught up
"Yuya...Brother, is Wakasa-sensei here too?"
Yuya turned around and saw Conan with a depressed expression. He smiled and said, "The lime purchased by the school has arrived. We are here to return it."
Conan nodded suddenly and glanced at Wakasa Rumi, who was also looking at Conan curiously.
Conan didn't think too much about it and followed along, quietly chatting with Youya about the decryption process.
Wakasa Rumi followed quietly beside him, casting surprised glances at Conan from time to time.
When they arrived at the old warehouse, the door was still unlocked and was ajar - Youya frowned slightly, as he remembered closing the door tightly when he left.
Wakasa Rumi pushed open the door, turned on the flashlight and shone it inside. She immediately cried out in surprise: "Why is it so messy here?"
Youya narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the three remaining bandits from 10 years ago. In this way, although the person who wrote the code is dead, the things the code refers to may still be here."
Wakasa Rumi immediately showed a frightened expression: "Well, then let's call the police!"
"It's too late," Youye's eyes fell on the iron door leading to the basement, "Maybe the person who came to look for something is down there."
Yuya put the bag of lime on the ground and walked over quietly: "Teacher Wakasa, can you help me open the door?"
Wakasa Rumi clenched her hands in fear: "What if someone rushes out from inside?"
Yuya comforted him, "It's okay. This passage can only allow one person to pass through at a time. Even if there are three people down there, I am confident that I can subdue them."
Conan also said: "Don't worry, Mr. Wakasa, Brother Yuya's karate is very powerful. He can knock people out with just one punch or one kick!"
When Wakasa Rumi heard both of them say this, she hesitated for several seconds and finally agreed.
She walked over slowly, knelt on one knee, reached out to hold the door handle, hesitated and said: "Then, then I open it?"
Youye nodded silently and clenched his fists, ready to attack at any time.
