Chapter 1376 Waiting for the rabbit
"That's the solution to the code," Conan said, taking a breath. "In other words, the answer to the third set of codes is room 2114!"
Moriko Lunda looked horrified: "Isn't that Mr. Lin Qi's room?"
Conan said, "Don't worry, Sera-neechan has already gone over there. She should be persuading Mr. Hayashi right now!"
"Huh?" Moriko Noriko nodded blankly.
Meanwhile, at the door of room 2114.
Sera Masumi knocked on the door, but no one answered, so she increased the frequency of her knocking.
Inside the room, Lin Qituan, who was rushing to finish his manuscript, slammed his fist on the table in anger: "Why are you doing this again? It's so annoying!"
He stormed over to open the door, only to find Sera Masumi standing there, holding a toolbox. His face turned green: "What, it's you again!"
Suddenly, he felt a chill down his back. He instinctively turned his head and saw everything go black. The next second, a sharp pain shot through his neck, and then he collapsed to the ground.
Sera Masumi stared blankly at the unconscious Lin Qidanji, then looked at her mother.
Sera Mary said coldly, "It's faster to do this than to waste words with him."
She lifted her face and gently sniffed, and sure enough, just as Yuya had said in her message, it smelled of marijuana.
"Yes, right?" Sera Masumi nodded blankly, silently mourning for Hayashi Tanji for half a second.
Sera Mary urged, "Hurry, it's under the bed!"
Sera Masumi followed, somewhat puzzled: "How did you know?"
The two of them worked together to move the bed. Sera Mary explained as she pulled, "Didn't that man say the bed runner was a bit messy? That's because the bed was moved!"
The two men lifted the bed and moved it to the side, revealing a bomb hidden in a suitcase.
Sera Mary took out bomb disposal tools from her toolbox, glanced at the bomb in the suitcase, and said dismissively, "Looks like an amateur's bomb. It can be disarmed in less than 3 minutes."
Sera Masumi felt relieved. Disarming a bomb assembled by an amateur was no problem for her mother, so she said, "Then I'll take this man downstairs."
Sera Mary turned around and said, "By the way, let's just hand him over to the police. Although the smell was a little faint, I could vaguely smell marijuana. He probably smoked and filled the room with the smell of marijuana to cover it up."
Sera Masumi nodded to indicate that she understood, "I understand." After saying that, she turned her back on the man and left the room, heading towards the elevator.
What Sera Masumi didn't notice was that in a corner of the corridor, a man was hiding in the shadows, secretly observing her.
···
On the other side, in room 1302.
Moriko Ronda looked utterly astonished: "You're saying the person who left the signal was the doorman, Mr. Mokuishi? He's the bomber? But he only delivered the luggage; he didn't even go into the room!"
Conan calmly said, "He's lying. When questioned, he accurately stated the location of the temporary humidifier. How did he know that if he didn't enter the room?"
"Was the humidifier installed temporarily when Mr. Lin Qi moved in?"
"After delivering the luggage to the room door, we went into the room beforehand to plant the bomb, and then left a coded message on the table."
Moriko Lunda asked in bewilderment, "Then how did he get into the room? Doormen aren't like us cleaners; they don't have master keys. If they take the key without permission, they'll be caught immediately."
Conan: "Have you forgotten? Room 2114 lost its key before, and it was Mr. Mokushi who helped find it. He probably used that time to make a mold of the key out of soap and then made a spare key."
"Didn't Mr. Lin Qi complain about you because the quantity of bath products was incorrect?"
Moriko Luntian suddenly realized what was going on, and then asked anxiously, "Where is Mr. Mushi now?"
The guests are all here, and Yuto Mokushi is a bomber, so he probably won't actually go and notify the guests, right?
Conan, with his hands behind his head, calmly said, "He's probably on the roof, right? He's probably already been caught by the police lying in ambush there."
At that moment, Inspector Megure's cell phone vibrated; it was a call from his subordinate on the roof.
"What did you say? Mokushi hasn't appeared on the roof yet?" Inspector Megure exclaimed in surprise, glancing at his watch. "It's almost 17 PM!"
Inspector Megure looked at Conan: "Conan, did Kamiya really say the culprit goes to the rooftop?"
Conan's expression turned serious: "Mr. Mokushi's purpose is to frame Mr. Lin Qi and kill him."
"Unlike the previous two bombings, this time the telephone notification was also for this purpose. The code was placed directly in Mr. Lin Qi's room, which could make him one of the suspects."
At 17 PM, they would impersonate Mr. Lin Qi and call us, telling us how to crack the code and that the bomb was planted in their room. Finally, they would make up a reason to atone for their sins and detonate the bomb. At the same time, the perpetrator would discard the cell phone used in the crime.
This way, even if the police find the phone after the explosion, they will assume that the explosion caused the phone to fly out.
At that moment, Wataru Takagi also received a call from the front desk, saying that the bomber had called and asked them to immediately give the answer to the code!
Inspector Megure was shocked: "How is this possible! Where did he make that call from?!"
Conan calmly said, "Don't worry, Yuya... I expected this situation to happen."
"What?" Inspector Megure looked at Conan in surprise.
···
Meanwhile, in room 2014.
Lin Qituan was standing in front of the window, holding his phone and talking on the phone, with a voice-changing device on his ear: "So you still couldn't crack the code? There's no other way. Let me tell you how to break it."
"It's a bar fence code. Actually, the room number where the bomb was planted is the one I'm living in now..."
Before the man could finish speaking, a voice appeared behind him, finishing his sentence for him: "Room 2114, right?"
Lin Qituan was startled and turned around in surprise, only to see Youye leaning against the wall with her arms crossed and a faint smile on her face.
Yuya: "He's right above this room, isn't he, Mr. Yuto Kiishi, the bomber?"
Yuto Mokushi hurriedly hung up the phone, stuffed it into his pocket, and asked with feigned confusion, "What are you doing here?"
Yu said calmly, "Because you don't necessarily have to go to the roof to discard your phone, right? So after we parted ways, I called the front desk to check if there were any strange guests wearing masks or sunglasses to cover their faces."
"Guess what? There really was one! They checked into the room directly below room 2114."
"So I came to this room early to wait, and sure enough, you arrived."
