hour. Was this solution correct? And then what? Kindaichi Kosuke. The only Japanese detective in the puzzle. A figure created by Yokomizu Seishi. Inspector Yokomizu? Did the weird guy even know him? Or ... Conan kept researching. No, it had to be the author himself. Yokomizu was born in Hyogo Prefecture, Kobe District. But this was not in Tokyo, so what ...

Conan kept scrolling until he remembered that Meguro also had such a town. Father Brown. A church. With these clues he boarded the train and arrived in Kobe after a little over an hour. But why did he even take part in this game? He knew it. The man wasn't joking with him, he had recognized in his voice that he meant business and that he was dangerous.

There were exactly four churches in Kobe, but only one matched the requirements. Brown, there was only one 'chairo' church in the immediate vicinity. Conan had found the place in the puzzle and was headed for it purposefully.

It was empty, of course it was not Sunday, nor was there any funeral or wedding taking place. But it was pleasantly cool and it made the detective's search easier.

"Purify sins ..." Conan mumbled and finally came to the confessional. It wasn't long before he found a white letter inside. He hastily tore it open and stared at a piece of paper with a row of numbers.834Sp213123.

Conan didn't have much time to think about it because his cell phone rang. It was the professor who asked about him. However, the detective promised to come back soon.
Part 2

The valley of fear
Haido - Unknown apartment
She felt the exhaustion and wondered how much strength she could still muster for this matter. Sometimes everything seemed so hopeless, was she really doing it for her father? Weren't there other people better suited to this? Well trained field agents. Agents like Shuichi Akai? But no, Akai-san had already tried and failed. The FBI had failed. So why did Rena think she could do it? Couldn't she just get out of it all? Disappear back to America? To Eisuke and her uncle and aunt. No, impossible. The organization would track them down. Even after Akai left, she managed to find out that he was an FBI agent. So they sent their only foreign agent, Vermouth, to get rid of him. She failed, but managed to get close enough to Akai. Rena wouldn't be as lucky as he was. And what if something happened to Eisuke? Or other people who were important to her? She had no more time to wallow in thought because she had reached her destination. No sooner had she entered the hiding place than a gun was held to her head.

It was vodka, the only agent she got along with. Of course, there was no question of sympathy, but he was the only one of these criminals who up to now had even come across as human. His laugh was sincere and he didn't hesitate to give his opinion. Then Rena imagined again how many people he must have killed and dismissed this thought. The gun was just a safety precaution, there was no need to panic.

"Nobody followed me.", Rena assured and Vodka lowered the gun. He led her inside, it was a shabby dump and all the important people seemed to have gathered in the living room. Vodka sat down across from Gin, who was having a glass of water.

"Pretty is called today, isn't it?" Vodka remarked and Rena was once again grateful for his ability to ease the situation. In one corner she recognized Chianti, the young woman was unpredictable and a sniper too. A dangerous combination. No one else was here. Nevertheless, the usual team had assembled. Except for one.

"Where's Korn?" Asked the CIA agent.

Gin just snorted.

"He has other tasks, we won't need him this time anyway.", He explained to her.

Rena nodded and began to look around. Chianti had brought their equipment, and Beika had a map on the table.

"Okay, let me know about the mission.", She started and looked expectantly at Gin.This gave Vodka a sign, which got up with a nervous heart and switched on the television. There the image of a press spokesman flickered, admitting a smartly dressed man to the lectern. In the headline: Smash the gun slide ring. Thanks to the Tokyo police!

"Who's that guy?" Rena wanted to know.

Gin looked in their direction.

"Chief Police Officer Hakuba. The gunmen who were arrested were working for us, so this action dealt a heavy blow to the organization," he revealed.

"And he will pay for it now.", Chianti said with a grin that could not be interpreted as anything other than malice.

Rena looked puzzled.

"Revenge? A strange motive for the organization," she objected.

Gin shook his head quickly.

"His death was predetermined one way or the other. Our mission is just a little late. His deputy works for us, so we're eliminating just to have more influence," he revealed.

Rena nodded and looked at the target. Chief Police Officer Hakuba was stout and had a mustache that was just too exaggerated.

"What will my job be? Mizunashi Rena has officially resigned and should she still show up, the FBI is alerted," she replied.

Gin had to agree with her.

"You have indeed become useless to us since then. It would be easy if you could interview him and get him into the right position like that, but it will work that way too. We know where he will be at 2pm today, Chianti is positioning itself." The roof across from the parliament building. It will be your and Vodka's job to secure the area, no police officer should get in our way. ", he complained.

Rena nodded and let herself be initiated into the exact plan without objection. A short time later she asked for a break and went to the toilet. Then she pulled out her cell phone and checked it for bugs. She changed the SIM card and then dialed a specific number. It was her liaison agent's here in Japan. After the CIA found out about the attack, they dialed Jodie Starling's number again.
Beika - House of Hiroshi Agasa
"Huh? Another code? And you've already solved it?" Asked Agasa, surprised.

The Detective Boys had already left, only Shiho was standing in front of him with his arms crossed.

"Yeah, I guess. It would have been difficult for an outsider, but these puzzles were aimed at me," he explained.

Shiho pursed his lips.

"You mean a Holmes freak?" She said sarcastically.

Conan didn't reply, just thought about it.

"This code also appears in a Holmes novel. In" The Valley of Fear ". A spy in Moriarty's organization sends it to Holmes, who also needs something to crack it. The numbers refer to pages and paragraphs in a book . "he revealed.

Agasa touched her chin."So we just have to look it up in the same book?" He asked.

Conan shook his head.

"That wouldn't make much sense as it is a fictional book. But according to my theory, it should be the" Valley of Fear "itself," he said.

Agasa nodded in understanding.

"So the code says to look for the following page numbers and matching words in this book, right?" He began to understand.

Conan nodded.

"I'll be right back, I have a copy in my library in my house," he replied and wanted to run. But someone held him back. It was Shiho.

Conan looked at her in surprise. Fear was reflected in her eyes, as if she did not want to let go of Conan, otherwise he could fall into the valley and be devoured by him.

"In your house ... there still lives ... he.", She paused and looked out the window.

But Conan warned them. The student, Subaru Okiya, who had lived in his house for a few weeks because it burned down his own apartment, certainly had nothing to do with it.

Conan had already left the professor's house by the time Shiho remembered that Subaru Okiya was a Sherlock Holmes fan too, right? And the puzzles now dealt with exactly this topic ...
Beika - House of Shinichi Kudo
Subaru Okiya opened the door for the little detective and looked at him intently.

"Conan-kun what can I do for you?" He asked charmingly.

He scratched his forehead, embarrassed.

"Uhh ... I just wanted to borrow one of Shinichi's books," he got straight to the point. The student nodded in understanding and let him into his own house. Conan, of course, knew a lot about his own library and quickly found the right book. Okiya watched him and adjusted his glasses.

"The Valley of Fear," he muttered.

Conan nodded and apologized for the disturbance.

"He failed, you know?" Okiya finally prevented him from leaving the house.

Conan turned to him again, the student wearing his usual grin.

"Holmes fails to try to protect the person whose murder Moriarty and his accomplices are responsible for," he pointed out to the content of the book, which Conan must know very well. Nevertheless, the detective nodded and left his tenant alone.

Back at the professor's house, he rummaged through the book and wrote down all the necessary words.

"Shit," he then swore.

Shiho and the professor did not escape his despondency either.

"It's the wrong book. The words don't make sense. River, Canopy, Watson, Es, House, Heading, Murder. Those words can't be put into any logical context," he complained.

Shiho glanced at the words and then back at the code. She smiled.
Beika - Unknown company building
It was him, there was no doubt about that.At least externally. Nothing in the features or the look in her eyes reminded the FBI agent of her longtime partner. Was Shuichi Akai Really Dead? The Shuichi Akai she knew? Was the man completely different before her? He hadn't recognized her, that had frightened the woman very much. What had happened? She ran her middle and index finger over the distinctive burn scar on her boyfriend's face. What had he been through? What happened then at the Raiha Pass? Mizunashi Rena of the CIA had shot him there was no doubt about it. But he had survived, even if it was no longer the Akai she knew. In that case, he would have returned to the FBI long ago. To his colleagues, to his
