Xiaolan narrowed her eyes: "Why are you acting so cute?"

"That's right." Sonoko half-squinted her eyes: "At this time, you actually imitated that four-eyed kid. At least you should know the situation!"

Shira smiled but said nothing, with an expression that showed he had everything under control.

"By the way...where's the secret code?" Kudo Tactics coughed twice: "How is it? Is there a secret code in his arms?"

"Yes." Officer Ayanokouji clapped his hands. "Forensic personnel!"

He took the intact document wrapped in a plastic bag in his hand and said, "Just like when Mr. Ximu was murdered, the code was placed together with the leaves of the golden plate."

"This is the third code."

Baijiu took it in his hand and observed it, and couldn't help complaining: "It's still as messy as before. It's totally incomprehensible and confusing."

"By the way, why are the four squares at the beginning the logo of that guy called Izuri?"

Shira poked his little head out from between Baijiu and Kudo, pointed at the code and analyzed, "If we use a larger square to surround the entire pattern along the top edge of the square."

"The white part looks a lot like the character 出 in 出栗, right?"

Everyone immediately started to imagine in their minds according to Sera's instructions, and sure enough, the word "out" appeared in front of everyone's sight like magic.

"Really?" Hattori couldn't help but sigh.

"Buzz buzz! buzz buzz!"

"Hattori, your phone is ringing. It might be Kazuha calling. Are you sure you don't want to answer it?"

Hattori presented the phone in front of him: "Teacher Yiyu, you are right. It really was He Ye who called."

Hattori took it in his hand and thought for a moment, then hesitantly pressed the connect button and put it to his ear: "He...He Ye, I am now————"

"Heiji!!! What are you doing!!!"

He kept coughing, making a series of puzzling strange noises, as if he was stuck by something. After a few times, he slowly spoke.

"I... didn't I tell you?" Hattori explained to her in a gentle voice, "I have a bad cold and can't go to school. I can only stay at home and rest..."

"Cough cough cough!! Cough cough cough!" Hattori, a lively performer, said: "Listen, my voice has become so hoarse..."

"Hattori." He Ye retorted unhappily: "Can you please be more careful when you lie to me?"

"Huh? What did I lie to you about, Heye?"

"If you don't believe me, just listen!"

He Ye's other phone was playing the headline news: "Actor Mars Brother was killed. Reporters will send you reports from the scene."

"I was planning to take a look, but I saw a figure that looked more and more familiar. After looking carefully, I was 100% sure that it was you! Because that hat was given to you by me."

"You're clearly captured on TV now."

"Well... well." Hattori explained in a panic, "I came to Kyoto specifically to find a talisman that can cure a cold."

Baijiu complained helplessly: "This excuse is too far-fetched. I believe He Ye is not stupid, but pretending to be stupid on purpose to avoid trouble... What a good girl."

"You'd better tell her the truth to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"Okay." Hattori took a deep breath.

"Anyway... He Ye, I have to find a way to solve the code of a bizarre serial murder case. You must not tell my parents about this."

"Sure enough! I knew you were going there! Forget it, but if your parents see the TV report, won't you be completely exposed?"

Hongye leaned against Hattori, her chest resting on his arm, "The words written on this code seem to be place names in Kyoto to me."

"So... so big." Hattori's face flushed.

Hongye pointed at the characters with her finger: "This character is the "Bi" in "Bi-cho" in "Kamigyo-ku", the one on the left is the "Mu" in "Mokuei-san-cho" in "Shimogyo-ku", and the one on the left is."

"The transformation of Kano-cho, Ukyo-ku."

Hattori praised: "So this is how the word is pronounced."

"Yes." Hongye was instantly delighted when she heard it and her little face turned red.

"Wait a minute!" Shira noticed something unusual: "The district names here have upper, lower, and right characters, which means——"

"Yes!" Hongye proudly introduced to Shiliang: "Kyoto has Kamigyo Ward, Nakagyo Ward, Shimogyo Ward, Sakyo Ward, and Ukyo Ward."

"It is divided into upper, middle, lower, left and right."

Baijiu suddenly realized: "Then this code......."

"Hey! Heiji!!"

"What's wrong, He Ye? Please keep your voice down. I didn't even turn on the speaker, and your voice almost deafened me."

"Don't talk about this for now! I seemed to hear Hongye's voice just now. Is she by your side now? Heiji! Hurry up--"

Hongye snatched the phone from Hattori's hand: "Hello, is this Xiaoye? How are you doing recently?"

"You don't need to ask too many questions. I'll take care of Heiji. Xiaoye, just study hard in school. Ok, bye."

"How can I give it to you, idiot!"

"Hey! Why did you hang up the phone? Damn it! How could you do that!"

"Alright, alright." Officer Ayanokouji cleaned up the scene: "This is not a place for romance, everyone please be serious!"

"By the way, we haven't finished talking about the previous topic, but now I have to let you explain it clearly. I want to see what the three secret codes have to do with you."

"Please don't avoid this topic! Tell me the truth!"

"Okay... Officer... I think it would be best if we go back inside and talk."

"What do you think? I think it's better to talk about this kind of thing from inside the house..."

Inside the house on the second floor, everyone returned to the room they had just been in and sat on the floor.

"Izuri Michio, so he was also your classmate in college?"

"Yes... yes, he majored in fine arts, and I majored in art." Mr. Xiaohui held his cheeks with his hands.

"I'm a film major." Lu Ge raised his hand.

Miss Jingzi lifted her suspenders and said, "Brother Huoxing and I both majored in drama performance, and Ximu majored in literature."

Shiliang Tactics took a sip of hot tea and said, "But, you all studied different majors, so how did you guys know each other?"

"That's a long story."
