Chapter 319 Investigation
"Misaka-senpai, this is..."
Saten subconsciously frowned as she looked at the content on the card.
"When the constellations of Pisces and Taurus intersect, not far from the land of reincarnation, it is filled with the glory of the goddess."
In fact, not only Saten, but even Mikoto showed a thoughtful expression.
The content of the card in his hand, no matter how you look at it, looks like a bad riddle. Let's put it this way, if Youtai hadn't said that this card was a crime warning issued by Scissor Girl, no one would think in that direction.
Meiqin wouldn't, Renzi wouldn't, even Su Mo wouldn't think about it from that angle, really, what does it mean?
"Wait, Saten, I seem to know something!"
As she spoke, a strange light shone in Miqin's eyes. In this state, even if Miqin was paired with a pipe or beret-like equipment, there would be no sense of disobedience at all.
"But……"
"Give me some time and let me prove it."
"Well, I understand, Misaka-senpai."
While talking, Saten took Su Mo from Mikoto's hand, and happily enjoyed the performance of the railgun.
"First of all, we have to assume that the content recorded on this card is related to Scissor Girl, otherwise, the things we discuss next will have no meaning at all."
Hearing this, Saten nodded, yes, if this card was just someone's random doodle, then what they discussed next was just nonsense.
Thinking of this, Saten put away the doubts in her heart, and continued to listen to Mikoto's explanation.
"On the surface, these words appear to be disorganized and even confusing, but if you observe carefully, you can still see some clues."
While talking, Miqin found the feeling of being a detective, well, this feeling made her feel like reading mystery comics back then.
"For example, the places of Pisces and Taurus have a lot of knowledge."
Mikoto gently pointed to a certain place on the card, this action also aroused Saten's curiosity, after careful observation, she seemed to have discovered something.
"Could it be, is it the difference in capitalization?"
"Exactly, that's what I'm going to say."
That being said, Saten's excitement only lasted for a short moment. After observing for a while, she still shook her head, not understanding the meaning at all.
Judging from the content, due to the existence of printed characters, the handwriting can be seen at all, and naturally there will be no clues.
It's just that the difference in typesetting makes people a little bit more concerned. Specifically, the Pisces part is designed to be smaller by the writer.
As for the part of the Taurus, it was designed to be a little bigger, and the difference, if you don't identify it carefully, you can't see it at all.
That being said, in fact, even if Saten discovers the difference, she doesn't understand the meaning behind it at all.
With more and more questions, Saten looked at Mikoto with a little anxious eyes.
"Okay, okay, Saten, stop looking at me like that. If you were Scissor Girl, what would you write on the card?"
To understand the logic behind crime predictions, it is necessary to think about the problem from the perpetrator's point of view.
"If I were Scissor Girl, I would definitely write the time and location of the crime on the card...Wait, would Scissor Girl really do that?"
In Saten's view, such behavior does not have much effect other than satisfying some kind of deformed pleasure. On the contrary, it may be forced to cancel the criminal plan because of this redundant action.
Could it be that it was because of this consideration that the code was designed so complicated on purpose?
Yes, that might be the case.
"Tear, put aside Scissors Girl's criminal motives, let's decipher the code!"
"Well, it seems that it has to be like this."
"According to this logic, what is recorded on this card is the time and place of the crime."
"In my opinion, the time of the crime is in the first half of the sentence, and the place of the crime is in the second half of the sentence."
"But, Misaka-senpai, what does it mean when Pisces and Taurus intersect?"
"Just looking at the text, you can't find anything wrong at all, but if you combine the text with the clock, you can easily find the truth."
While talking, Mikoto took out her mobile phone from her skirt pocket, and without much effort, she hung up a picture of a constellation clock.
"Wait, this is..."
Combining the photos of the constellation clock and the description in the text, Saenko seems to understand something.
There is no doubt that the so-called time when Pisces and Taurus intersect refers to 00:10 in the morning.
The reason why Renzi is so sure is obviously the credit of the font. The font of Pisces is too small, showing that the hour hand points to Pisces, and the font of Taurus is too large, showing that the minute hand points to Taurus.
In this way, the crime time is set at 00:10 in the morning.
However, if the matter is true, a new question has surfaced. At that time, will there really be children playing outside?
"Misaka-senpai, I have another question."
"Well, tell me."
"If according to the card, the crime time is set at 00:10 in the morning, will there really be children playing outside at that time? Besides, why did this card fall into Youtai's hands, and he even identified it as a crime notice for Scissor Girl?"
"Well, that's a question."
Hearing this, Mikoto showed a thoughtful expression on her face, it was just like Satenko said.
Judging from the problems reflected by this card, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be deliberately attracting Mikoto and the others to take the bait.
"Well, Laizi, let's take a step and see. Anyway, there is no good way."
Misaka-senpai is right, there are some things that they know are traps, and they have to jump into them. If they don't do this, they won't be able to find out the identity of Scissor Girl.
"Okay, I get it, but, Misaka-senpai, I don't understand the second half of the sentence."
"This is easy to handle. The so-called land of reincarnation is..."
At this moment, Mikoto, with a blushing face, began to whisper to Satenko.
Seeing the small movements between these two people, Su Mo yawned a little bored.
Ha~ow~, it's too boring, it's so boring.
As long as anyone who has watched a few episodes of Conan, it is impossible not to see such tricks, the so-called land of reincarnation sounds mysterious, but in fact, it is just a bathroom, nothing special.
There are open spaces with public toilets in Academy City, and you can count them on one hand. The only question is when Scissor Girl will do it.
After all, that guy only said what time, not the specific time at all.
Obviously, Mikoto and the others also realized this.
"Misaka-senpai, when Scissors Girl will do it..."
"No way, we had to squat nearby for a few days. By the way, Saten, there is one more thing."
Although it is a bit risky, but looking around, there is only Saenko who has the ability to do this.
With a considerable degree of expectation, Mikoto looked at Saten next to her, as if she had something to say.
