Chapter 1373 The much-anticipated three-choice ring chapter

Seeing the three men's unpleasant expressions, Lin Qituansi felt inexplicably frightened: "Hey, why do you guys look like that? Could it be for real?"

Yuya quickly put on a smile: "How could that be?"

Sera Masumi and Conan chimed in at the same time: "It's a prank, it's definitely a prank!"

If you intend to evacuate any of the guests or call the police, I will immediately press the detonation button.

If this man knew it was a genuine bomb warning, the commotion that caused hotel guests to flee might have led the bomber to believe the hotel was evacuating, thus detonating a bomb that was nowhere to be found...

Yuya first took a picture with her phone, then put the paper into a transparent plastic bag and tucked it into her pocket: "Anyway, I'll keep this safe."

Lin Qituan snorted and pointed at Ronda Moriko's nose, cursing, "Anyway, go tell the hotel that this kind of thing is not allowed to happen again! Also, clean it all over again!"

No one dared to say much, and weakly agreed.

Lin Qituan did not continue to scold him, and turned around and went back to his room.

Just then, a hotel doorman came running over, panting. After catching his breath, he asked the people present, "Is there a problem with that room?"

The hotel still needed to be informed about the code, so Yuya and the other two, along with the doorman Yuto Kikuishi, went to the front desk and explained the explosion code on the way.

Yuto Mokushi's expression changed drastically: "So 2114 really did have an explosion code?"

"As expected?" Yu asked doubtfully, "You came here specifically to confirm the code?"

Yuto Mokushi nodded: "That's right. I just heard from the front desk that a man claiming to be a bomber made a phone call in a strange voice. He said there was a code in room 2114."

"Since I was responsible for delivering the luggage to that room, and it happened to be nearby, I rushed over to check on the situation. I didn't expect there really was a code..."

As they spoke, the group arrived at the front desk.

Just then, a phone call came in, and the receptionist who answered the phone turned deathly pale, her face filled with terror.

Yuya immediately noticed her unusual behavior and asked in a low voice, "Was that from the bomber?"

The receptionist nodded, her voice trembling.

"Turn on speakerphone!"

The receptionist was already at a loss. Upon hearing this, she didn't think much and immediately turned on the speakerphone. The voice of the bomber, processed by a voice changer, came out from the speaker.

"Just like last time and the time before that, if I find out that you are intentionally evacuating guests or getting the police involved, that hotel will have one less room."

"The deadline is 17 PM today. I will call again then and let me hear the answer to the code."

Yuto Mokushi couldn't help but advise, "Um, although I don't know who you are, please don't do such foolish things again!"

The bomber scoffed and said contemptuously, "A hotel doorman dares to lecture me?"

"?!" Yuto Kikushi was so startled that he fell to the ground with a thud. How did he know what he did? Was he being watched?

Yuya and the other two's expressions changed, and they quickly looked around at the people in the hall.

The bomber knew that the person he was talking to was a hotel doorman. Was he watching this place right now?

However, no one in the lobby seemed unusual, nor were they talking on their phones or with earphones. So how did the other party know that Yuto Kishi was a doorman?

Conan leaned over the front desk and asked into the phone, "Is this the same as before, where I can only answer once?"

The bomber did not answer, but said, "Then I'll call back at 17 PM."

After saying that, he hung up the phone with a click.

Sera Masumi immediately took out her phone: "Let's call the police first!"

"Stop! Don't call the police!" Yuya pressed down on Sera Masumi's phone and said in a deep voice, "During the second bombing, the criminals discovered the hotel's alarm and the bomb was detonated prematurely."

Sera Masumi froze instantly.

The receptionist asked, "By the way, where's the code for 2114?"

The cleaning lady, Moriko Lunda, also came to the front desk. Upon hearing this, she pointed at Yuya and said, "The code is in this guest's hands."

The receptionist looked at Yuya in surprise.

Yuya explained with a smile, "The coded paper needs to be given to the police as evidence, but I've already taken a picture of the contents beforehand."

After saying that, he took out his phone, operated it for a moment, and then turned the screen around.

The receptionist, sweating profusely, looked at the code on her phone and said, "This looks just like the two codes the police sent us a while ago!"

Yuya and the others asked in surprise, "Two?" Didn't the news say that the police hadn't revealed the contents of the code? How did she know?

The receptionist explained, "The police said to contact them immediately if you receive any codes similar to those two."

Yuya quickly asked, "Could you show me the code for the second case?"

The receptionist was taken aback. When the police handed the code to the hotel, they had instructed them not to reveal it to anyone else.

She asked, puzzled, "By the way, who are you all?"

Yuya then realized he hadn't introduced himself yet, and quickly said, "My name is Kamiya Yuya, and I'm a detective. I came here today to visit a classmate and happened to witness this."

"Kamiya?" The receptionist exclaimed in surprise, "Is he that famous high school detective?"

Yuya smiled and nodded.

The receptionist immediately beamed with delight: "Great! With Detective Kamiya here, we're sure we can crack the code!"

Yu smiled and reminded him, "That code..."

"Okay, I'll show it to you right away."

As she spoke, the receptionist took out two pieces of paper from under the counter and handed them to Yuya with a hopeful expression.

Yuya took it, and Conan and Sera Masumi also joined in.

The above image, along with the cipher found by Sera Masumi, belongs to the first bombing case.

The next one has the same code format, but the content is different, so it seems to be from the second case.

Yu took out her phone, snapped a picture of the code, and then returned the paper to the receptionist: "Thank you. Leave the rest to me."

Yu glanced at the time; there was less than an hour left before the deadline given by the bomber.

He turned to the two of them and said, "Let's go back to Shiliang's room and discuss this."

The three entered the elevator, and Sera Masumi spoke up, "Judging from the third code, the way to decipher this code is indeed..."

Conan continued, "Anatomy. The room number for the first case was 3420, and the second was 2614. They are both codes. If you remove the kana in the boxes, the rest of the text is just a combination of numbers."

Yuya pinched his chin: "If this case was committed by the same culprit, using the same method, we can find the three codes that contain the characters two, four, thousand, hundred, and fifteen."

"Based on the arrangement of the words, there are 12 possible combinations. This hotel has 25 floors, with 25 rooms on each floor. This eliminates 6 combinations. What remains is..."

"These are the six groups: 1124, 1214, 1412, 1420, 2114, and 2410."
