Chapter 17

"A murder notice?"

Xingchuan and Ming repeated in disbelief, and their facial expressions went blank for a moment. It wasn't because he was afraid, but in his previous cognition, such absurd things were too unrealistic and only appeared in novels and comics.

Oh, and now I am translating comics, so it doesn't sound strange.

And judging from Date Ko's performance just now, it seemed that he was already used to people sending warning letters in advance before committing a crime. This confident expression also calmed Hoshikawa and Ming.

So he asked curiously: "What is written on it?"

Yi Dahang followed his instructions and flipped through the email, and saw the specific content of the notice.

However, this time, it was Ida Kou's turn to stare at Hoshikawa and Ming with a complicated expression, and he was hesitant to speak.

Xingchuan and Ming's hearts suddenly skipped a beat. What was going on? Why did Date Kou suddenly have such an expression? Could it be that there was something wrong with the contents of the murder notice?

Xingchuan and Ming were about to ask directly, but before they opened their mouths, an idea suddenly occurred to them and they immediately stopped talking.

If I was just curious, I could have gotten the information in another way. There was no need to lose the initiative in front of Date Kou before I had a grasp of the specific situation. After all, I was still counting on him to give me the opportunity to open the dungeon.

So he immediately opened the forum and quickly browsed it, pretending to be frightened by the murder notice, making his already pale face even more pale.

He tried to turn around but stumbled. He managed to steady himself after his body swayed. He moved his lips several times before turning to Mao Lilan and pleading:

"By the way, Ms. Maori, can you please do me a favor? When I went out before, I saw that the mailbox downstairs seemed to have received some letters. At that time, I thought it was an advertisement and didn't pay much attention to it. Now... can you please help me get it?"

When Xingchuan talked to Ming, his eyes were fixed on the position of the comic book in the sky, and he looked as if he was in a trance and had difficulty concentrating. Coupled with his already weak body and the huge pressure of being targeted by the assassin, everyone was naturally more tolerant of his current performance.

Mao Lilan naturally agreed and went downstairs to help pick up the letters. Everyone present had already guessed the contents of the letters in their hearts and waited patiently. Even Edogawa Conan, who loved to be jealous, stayed where he was at this time and did not express his opinion.

However, only Xingchuan and Ming knew that they had never paid attention to the receipt of mail in the mailbox placed downstairs.

He was just guessing, considering that he had been staying in his room for several months without going out, that there must be a lot of advertisements in the mailbox. He usually didn't have time to take care of it, and was originally racking his brains over how to deal with it, so this was just an excuse to delay.

He took the time to check the comic strip that was serialized in real time in the forum, and indeed found the screen that was displayed after the computer was successfully repaired.

It turned out that the so-called notice letter was not a message sent by communication software such as computer email, but a system prompt that directly displayed a prompt box on the screen that was exactly the same as the real notice letter.

Xingchuan and Ming zoomed in on the screen and saw the following words written on it:

"Tremble! The crow's claws are flying towards you under the cover of darkness. Your life has been hung on the wall of honor, waiting to be taken away at any time. - Xiaozhi"

At first, Xingchuan Heming was still sighing in his heart, worthy of the world of Detective Conan, even a murder notice letter was written with such literary quality. But when he carefully analyzed the content, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

Crow!

It turned out to be a crow!

In the world of Detective Conan, there is no one else who can be referred to with such a personal word except the gang of murderers in the Black Organization!

Could it be that the Black Organization was behind this poisoning case?

I'm just a newbie in the comics world, why am I being targeted by those guys?

I have escaped this time, how will they react? Will they come again?

Xingchuan Heming even felt that his brain had stopped thinking. He was stunned for a long time before finally coming to his senses.

He once again focused his attention on this threatening murder notice, trying to extract more information from it. However, cracking the code was not his strong point. After reading for a long time, Xingchuan and Ming's thoughts could only wander around the issue of "the Black Organization was going to take action against them."

He adjusted his breathing and forced himself to calm down. He decided to look for inspiration in the forum to see what readers thought about it.

As expected, the previous speeches were all about being shocked that Xingchuan and Ming were involved in such a bizarre murder case, accompanied by discussions about the abnormal and perverted love affair between the deceased and the murderer.

Xingchuan and Ming scanned these speeches one by one, and then quickly focused on the discussion about the notice letter.

[An advance notice? I was not paying attention. I thought my Lord Kidd had set his eyes on another gemstone. Uwuwu...]

[It's not a warning letter from Kidd-sama, it's someone trying to kill Little Star! Damn, this is too blatant, actually sending a warning letter directly? Look at my little Star's face turned pale with fear]

[Is it popular to send a warning letter before murder now? And the hacker is even called a master by the National Police Agency. Wait, is he a hacker? 】

[That must be the case. Look, Xingchuan’s computer was destroyed.]

[The above poster is mistaken. It was clearly Xingchuan who crashed his computer. I never thought that someone could crash a computer hahaha… He definitely can’t play online games anymore. How pitiful hahaha…]

[The little star who is shaking with fear is so adorable, shashasha… Come to your sister’s arms quickly! Let your sister love you dearly]

[Did you notice what was written in the preview? Why did I seem to see Crow's name? Is it what I thought it meant? ]

[Sisters above, calm down, calm down, I guess that's what you mean...Ahhh why? Why did the winery notice Little Star?! It has developed to the point where they have to send out a notice.]

[Wait, I don't quite understand. If the winery really wanted to kill people, would they have sent a warning letter? Wouldn't they have just brought Mu Cang Mang up here?]

Seeing this, Xingchuan and Ming's anxious and troubled minds suddenly became clear.

It's really strange. According to the style of the winery, if they really need to kill someone, why would they use such a blatant method as a warning letter to scare the enemy? They will definitely choose to act low-key.

Of course, this specifically refers to wines other than gin. And even for gin, they would only open the wooden warehouse and fly a plane to sweep it with great fanfare, and it is also impossible to send a notice in advance. This is not in line with the consistent style of the winery.

So, did I misunderstand it before? The "crow" here has nothing to do with the winery?

[The above is too narrow-minded. The winery is not full of bars. There may be outsiders who don’t know the rules and like to send out warning letters and then kill people.]

[I don’t care whether the winery really sent out a notice or not, I just want to see the protagonist fight the main plot, I just want to see him punch gin and kick rum! ]

[I say, am I the only one who is paying attention to those 183 notices? And even if it is a murder notice, 183 of them are exactly the same. I am too obsessed, is it OCD? Why do I keep sending them without replying? ]

[Actually, I think this murder warning letter looks like a threat, but if we don’t consider the possibility of the winery members, it’s not really that scary, right?]

[What truth is being told by the above poster? Murder notices are not meant to scare people. They are meant to let people know that they are about to be killed, so they might as well scare themselves to death in advance.]

[I'm not saying it's scary in the sense of creating fear. I mean, although it looks noisy, I feel like this letter is more like a warning than a threat, like "You have to be careful, someone is coming to kill you"]

…

Seeing this, Xingchuan and Ming were suddenly shocked. This was indeed an idea.

On the other hand, although the notice letter seems to have bad intentions, there is another possibility. Maybe the notice letter actually has other purposes?

Nearly 200 emails were definitely not sent at the same time. Although the comics did not show the date, it is reasonable to guess that they should have started sending them before I went out to exercise today. At that time, I had not yet been poisoned.

If I had seen these warning letters in advance, I would have definitely taken precautions. And judging from the level and rank of the poison this time, although the process was complicated, it was not difficult to avoid the plot.

It can even be said that as long as you know the news in advance, you can be very sure that you can avoid it in advance.

So, this murder notice letter that seems full of threats may actually be a warning to avoid danger.

If this is true, then who is the person on the other side? Why does he need to remind me? Is the crow he mentioned really referring to the winery? How did he know the winery's plan in advance?

The key is, is the truth really what you think it is? Or is it just your wishful thinking?

It’s really too complicated!

Xingchuan Heming couldn't help rubbing his sore forehead and began to mourn in advance for his future acting career.

Now even a warning letter with unknown purpose can make my mind so confused. When I really start to compete with my own vest in the future, my mind will explode on the spot.

He continued to read the forum quickly, and there was nothing new to discover in the rest of the forum. Xingchuan and Ming calculated the time it would take for Mao Lilan to go back and forth, and closed the forum before she came back.

He still needs to sort out his emotions before starting the next performance.

However, when Xingchuan and Ming faced Date Kou again, they suddenly thought of his obviously abnormal behavior just now, and their brains finally started to work and immediately discovered the problem.

Although Date Ko had already read the specific contents of the preview letter, as an ordinary detective who was not familiar with the plot, he should not have known the existence of the winery, let alone what the word "crow" actually meant.

Since they didn't know how scary the "crow" was, they should have treated it as an ordinary case of murder by warning, instead of worrying about the content of the warning letter.

So here comes the question. When Date Airlines first learned about the existence of the advance notice, it behaved normally.

But after reading the contents of the warning letter, especially when he was told that there was a murder warning letter in his computer, why did his expression become so hesitant?

Such confusion and worry about the unknown are not what a normal elite detective who is used to dealing with all kinds of criminal cases would have.

So, what secrets did Date Ko discover from the preview letter, and what is he struggling with and worrying about?

The author has something to say:

So, what did Date Kou discover?
