Chapter 637 Möbius Strip Pattern
Looking at the small note that appeared in his palm, Conan was unsure how to react.
However, he probably also knew that these cases were likely related to Bertrand, but... why?
Conan took a few deep breaths and calmed down before unfolding the small note that had been folded several times.
[Surprised? Unexpected? I advise you not to check that number anymore, otherwise I'll take care of everyone related to it~]
The content is signed with a super cute hand-drawn anthropomorphic cat making a peace sign emoji.
Conan gripped the note tightly, staring silently at its contents.
How...how did he know he was looking up that number?!
The blue-haired baby looked at his finger and said: "I was forced to put a tiny bit of magic into your phone~"
After putting the note away, Conan calmed himself down for a moment before returning to the house while still thinking.
As soon as he got back, Ran Mouri tapped him on the head. "Conan! Where have you been again!?"
Conan chuckled sheepishly, rubbing his head where he'd been hit, "I just went to the restroom..."
"Honestly, remember to tell me in advance next time," Ran Mouri scolded somewhat discontentedly.
"I'll definitely do it next time!" Conan rubbed his head and then looked behind her. "By the way, did anyone get hurt by the gunshot just now?"
"Yes, it's Mr. He Yuxiangfu. He was shot in the abdomen and has been taken to the hospital by ambulance for emergency treatment."
Ran Mouri replied.
Conan fell silent again.
Now that the organization has intervened, the case can no longer be investigated, since the other party is unlikely to leave any clues for him to verify.
However... the deaths of the Shitara family members one after another 30 years ago were probably caused by one of them.
But even if Conan wanted to investigate, he couldn't, since so much time had passed, and whether Kogoro Mouri would cooperate with him was another matter entirely...
Well, another case that's been left unresolved.
Several days later, Qianzhu and Liu Qingyao returned from their "trip".
Although Conan was really itching to hear the tone of that number, he held back when he remembered the warning Bertrand had left him.
Seeing Conan sigh countless times, Chizuru knew what was going on but still asked him gently, "Conan, why are you so gloomy today? Did you encounter another difficult case?"
"You could say that, but it's just that some things aren't working out, it's not a big deal."
Conan smiled slightly and waved his hand in reply.
"So that means even a famous detective gets bothered by these trivial matters. That's rare." Ai Haibara, who had made herself a cup of coffee, smiled faintly and glanced at Conan with a sarcastic look.
Conan: "..." Don't talk like detectives aren't human.
His lips twitched slightly, and he was too lazy to argue with Ai Haibara, so he turned to look at Chizuru and asked, "By the way, Chizuru, have you had fun these past few days? Has anything interesting happened?"
"Hmm, it feels pretty good." Qianzhu replied with a light laugh, then thought for a moment and added, "As for interesting things... there don't seem to be any, but if I had to say, it's probably because I've been spending a lot of time with the famous detective Conan. The night before we came back, a murder happened at the hotel where we were staying."
"A murder case? What murder case?"
Conan's interest noticeably increased when this topic came up.
Qianzhu took a sip of tea, recalling, "I remember the deceased was named Morita Mizuki. The cause of death seemed to be related to some treasure. They had a dispute over the loot and he was killed by his accomplice with a shotgun. The murderer's name was Hongo Shunpei."
"I don't remember the details, because a pretty good detective was also staying at that hotel at the time, and he solved the case very quickly."
"However, the murderer shot himself when the detective caught him, and I remember his last words quite clearly."
As Qianzhu spoke, she put down her teacup and picked up a pen and a blank notebook from the side.
He said: "The origin of life, the end of death, my brain is filled with scarlet liquid, and I will be revived again."
He read the sentence aloud and wrote it down in his notebook, also drawing a picture below it.
The pattern is nine small snakes biting each other's tails in turn, forming a Möbius strip when they are connected.
Handing the notebook to Conan, Chizuru pointed to the Möbius strip formed by several small snakes and said, "There's also a pattern imprinted with blood next to the deceased named Morita Mizuki. Although it's not very obvious, you can tell that it's a Möbius strip made of snakes, and it looks something like this."
Conan stared intently at the sentence and the pattern on it for a long time. "I think I've seen this pattern before..."
"What?" Qianzhu glanced at him with slight surprise as she picked up her teacup again.
"Isn't this the design from the letter we received a few days ago?"
Ai Haibara, who had arrived at some point, stood next to Conan with a steaming cup of coffee. She glanced down at the illustrations in the notebook, thought for a moment, and then continued, "And that sentence... I saw something similar inside that envelope."
"What!?"
Upon hearing her words, Conan almost jumped up in excitement. He turned to Professor Agasa and shouted, "Professor Agasa! Could you please bring me that letter I received a few days ago?"
"Ah? Oh, okay!"
He handed the letter addressed to Shinichi Kudo, and Professor Agasa stood beside him with some curiosity. "Shinichi, have you discovered something this time?"
Conan nodded, took out the letter and looked at it again. There was indeed a small, ordinary Möbius strip drawn at the signature, but the pattern on the back of the letter, the lower right corner of the envelope, and even the sealing wax was a Möbius strip made of snakes.
"What? Is this related to that case again?"
Ai Haibara wasn't curious about the cases; she just found Conan's distress about them quite amusing.
"Hmm." Unaware of her teasing intentions, Conan gave a heavy reply, then said, "Haibara, do you remember that brain surgery case we encountered at Beika Park last time?"
“I remember, you mean the murderer in that case and the guy who sent us the invitation are together?” After saying that, Ai Haibara took a small sip of coffee and then moved to sit down in a chair.
