Do you know what that string of letters means?

The group members were all shocked when they saw Shen Ting’s sudden message.

But when they saw his next question, they were stunned again.

What day is today?

What's the meaning?

Does this have something to do with that encoding?

Guan Hongyu: "Today is January 27, January 27, 2025?

Are those letters in the code the first letters of the numbers?"

Kiko: “That’s not right!

There are five letters in the code.

The date you mentioned has seven first letters.

Other dates, it could be six or eight.

For example, January 3, 2025, or November 12, 2024.

The number of initials varies, but it is always more than five.”

Tang Ren: "Hey, I think I know~~

The group leader asked about the lunar calendar, not the solar calendar.

Today is the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month of the Jiachen year.

Excluding the year and month, the first letters are Jclnb, exactly five letters~~"

When Tang Ren said this, the group members immediately reacted.

Maori Kogoro: "It seems to make sense!"

Conan: "Then Jcbsy, does it mean August 11, Jiachen year?"

Guan Hongfeng: "Rylnq, refers to the twenty-seventh day of the sixth month of the Renyin year?"

Forensic doctor Qin Ming: "If that's the case, then the first letter of the code does explain it."

Kiko: "How did the boss come up with this? That's amazing!

Most people, even if they guess that the letters represent time, will only think of the Gregorian calendar time, right?

(? ′?` ?)”

“I’m just lucky!”

Shen Ting pondered and said:

“The first letters represent the year, month, and day.

What do the numbers behind it represent? The specific hours, minutes, and seconds?

Does this code represent the time when the leatherworker made the leather product, or does it have some other meaning?"

Guessing, Shen Ting quickly shook his head:

"Probably not."

Hours, minutes, and seconds, at most six digits.

The maximum number of numbers in the code is seven.

And if the numbers represent specific time, then the first two numbers, the maximum, is 24.

Among the coded numbers, there are many that have more than 24 as the first two digits.

No matter how you look at it, it shouldn't represent time.

Conan: "Such a long string of numbers, and the differences in the numbers are quite large.

In daily life, there are not many opportunities to come into contact with so many numbers.

in addition!

The criminals deliberately engraved codes on the leather products.

There must be a reason!

He must be trying to express something.

And these numbers are just carriers.

In this case, perhaps these numbers represent the number of sentences or words on a certain page or line in a certain book?"

Jigsaw: "That's an interesting idea."

Forensic pathologist Qin Ming: "The difference in the number of digits in the code can also be explained.

Page numbers can be large or small, and can reach three digits.

It’s too small, maybe in single digits.

The number of lines and words is about the same.

If all three numbers are single digits, then the number of numbers is indeed three.

The seven numbers with the most numbers should be three numbers that are relatively large.

This does match the length of the numbers in the code."

Kiko: "Now that you put it that way, it seems to be true!

If the numbers in the code really represent a word in the book.

In the case of a seven-digit number, the first three digits should represent the page number.

Books nowadays usually have only one or two hundred pages, and sometimes over three hundred.

In other words, if the number in the code is seven digits, the first digit must be smaller.

There shouldn’t be more than 3 at most! ”

After Kiko said this, all the group members felt that it made sense.

Everyone immediately looked up all the codes in the document.

Focus on finding the code with seven digits.

It was quickly confirmed that the first digit of the seven-digit code was indeed relatively small.

Don’t even mention 3, the maximum is 2.

Everyone was a little surprised!

Hannibal: "Does the number really represent a word in a book?"

Guan Hongyu: "@Conan, you actually got it right?"

Kiko: "Conan, aren't you an elementary school student?

You can even think of this?

It seems that you are not an ordinary primary school student!

(???)”

Mouri Kogoro: “???

Conan, what's going on?"

Conan sweatdropped: "Ah, this, this...

I guess I'm just luckier!

I just happened to be doing my winter vacation homework, and by coincidence, I saw the page number below.

Then I naturally thought -

Since page numbers are also numbers, is it possible that the number after the code refers to a word in the book?

Uncle, I was just guessing at that time. Once I had an idea, I just said it in the group.

I didn't think too much about it.

Unexpectedly, it seems that I guessed it right.

My luck is so good, haha, hahahaha~~~"

Kiko: “Just a random guess?

?_??”

Tang Ren: "I don't believe it~~"

Guan Hongyu: “???”

Normal people obviously don't believe it.

But Maori Kogoro is obviously not a normal person:

“I didn’t expect it to be such a coincidence!

I was wondering, how can you, a tiny elementary school student, be so awesome?

I thought you were Shinichi, you scared me to death!

but!

You just happened to spot the criminal's shadow in the alley outside the theater.

Now I happen to guess the meaning of the numbers.
