Conan reborn as a detective

Chapter 830 Kogoro Mori: Not a Big Problem
At eight o'clock in the evening, Gao Cheng followed the uncle to attend the banquet as a small attendant. After seeing the luxurious decoration of the hotel banquet hall, he once again had doubts about the identity of the rich woman who invited the uncle.

The hotel is luxurious, it can be explained by money, but the people at the banquet at the same table don’t seem to be ordinary people. I heard that they are all friends of the fat woman, Ms. Diana, because I heard that there is a famous Japanese detective coming. interest.

The uncle, who has always claimed to be an experienced adult, did not think too much. He was very happy from the moment he was seated. Although it was difficult for him to communicate with foreigners, his daughter Xiaolan's English is not bad, and she can chat well with these people. Questions not big.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Lan went to the side and called Conan, "Didn't I tell you that I asked Ms. Diana to have dinner at the hotel at [-] o'clock in the evening? We have already started eating!"

"Sorry," Conan said with an embarrassed smile, "The doctor and I were busy trying to solve the code... In this case, the doctor and I will find fast food nearby, and uncle is over there anyway..."

Gao Cheng looked back at Xiaolan who was on the phone. It seemed that Conan was still studying the code, but Xiaolan couldn't care less. After apologizing to the fat woman, she went out to find Conan.

"I'm going to get them back!"

"Ah hey!"

Mori Kogoro failed to stop his daughter, and Gao Cheng was the only one left with him at the scene.

Looking at Gao Cheng, who still didn't understand anything and was leisurely drinking a drink, the uncle smiled stiffly, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

Big problem...

The fat woman Diana didn't feel much about Xiaolan's departure, and it didn't matter if she was late for dinner, the key was Kogoro Mori.

"Mr. Sleeping Kogoro," the fat woman smiled expectantly, "Can you tell me a few stories about your case-solving? Everyone is very interested in you who is comparable to Sherlock Holmes..."

"Uh, OK..."

Facing the eyes of everyone waiting to listen, the uncle picked up his wine glass in sweat, and subconsciously looked at Gao Cheng beside him.

The case is usually talked about in Japan, but what should I do if I can’t speak English, why don’t I perform it?
"Well, Kido..."

"Ms. Diana," Gao Cheng put down his glass, and said to the fat woman in English, "Actually, Maori detectives are investigating a case right now. At noon, someone spread a lot of warning signs in London, and the police also caused commotion. ..."

……

"what happened?"

Near Big Ben, after dealing with Xiaolan's phone call, Conan took a map of London and continued to study the code, but nothing was gained.

"The code means that there are two watch shops next to the castle-like building, and there are also food shops, cake shops and even shops selling weapons, but I can't find it anywhere!"

Dr. Ali couldn't help much, so he followed Conan and said, "It seems that this code does not refer to a store that sells anything..."

"Yeah," Conan said worryingly, "I have no clue at all. Sure enough, this kind of code can only be guessed."

Conan felt hopeless, he was indeed good at solving puzzles, but at least he had to have clues and directions first, and it was impossible to think about it out of thin air.

Under such circumstances, he was not in the mood to go to any banquet, so he was worried that Xiaolan would come out to find someone, so he directly lied to Xiaolan that he was with the doctor at the London Eye Ferris wheel in another direction.

"Xiaolan is calling again," Conan said helplessly, taking out his cell phone that was ringing non-stop, "I can't concentrate on thinking of passwords..."

"Why don't you ask Ah Cheng," the doctor said worriedly, "Maybe you can think of something together."

"It's true to say that, but if he accidentally loses it, he still wants me to find him..."

Conan's eyelids twitched, and he answered the phone impatiently: "Hello..."

"Is it Shinichi?" Xiaolan hesitated, "It's me... Are you still sleeping? It's still 5 in the morning in Japan..."

"Eh?!"

Conan reacted, only to realize that it was the mobile phone used by Kudo Shinichi, hurriedly took out the bowknot voice changer and responded: "Ah, no... I'm up, but I have something to think about..."

In the banquet hall of the hotel, the uncle stared at Gao Cheng and the fat woman talking with each other. After a long while, he took a sip of his drink, and when everyone looked at him again, he nodded and said "Yes" ignorantly.

"Really? The spire of St. Bride's Church is modeled after a multi-tiered wedding cake."

Gao Cheng asked about the location of the cake building from the fat woman and her party, but did not mention the building or area of ​​the two swords.

"Put two swords in the white place..."

"Oh!" A friend of the fat woman suddenly thought, "If it is white with two swords inserted in the back, I have seen it. The famous white Mason porcelain has a double sword logo behind it. There is only one specialty store in London!"

"Mason china?"

"Yes, most of the tableware in this hotel is made of Mason porcelain, you see."

Gao Cheng then picked up a white plate and found the pattern of two crossed swords at the bottom.

In this way, all the places described in the codes can be found. The key is the meaning of the codes left around these places again.

It's best to run again tomorrow, and maybe get the clues to the remaining two places to figure it out.

The key is "Sherlock Holmes". The prisoner asked Holmes if he couldn't solve the puzzle, which means that Holmes is the key to unlock the new code.

The title names of those Sherlock Holmes cases...

Gao Cheng raised his chin and frowned in thought.

In addition to unlocking the password, there is also the prisoner.

It takes a lot of effort to arrange the murder notice, and the crime should not be committed when the police are completely confused, that is, at least for a day or two.

According to the analysis of criminal psychology, the prisoner is likely to observe secretly during this period, enjoying the pleasure of running around for the puzzles given by the police.

However, the information is still insufficient, and it is still very reluctant to profile the criminal behavior of the prisoner, and only a few main characteristics can be analyzed.

Retaliatory or provocative...

Seeing Gao Cheng lost in thought, the fat woman turned to the uncle curiously and asked, "Is this little brother your detective assistant?"

The uncle didn't understand English very well, so he looked dazed. When he heard the word "detective", he repeatedly said in Japanese mixed with English: "Yes, he is also a detective! Detective!"

"It's amazing!" The fat woman and her group looked at Gao Cheng who took out a map of London to check in amazement, and gave the uncle a thumbs up, "Your assistant is amazing, the combination is just like Sherlock Holmes and Watson! This time The case will definitely be investigated..."

"peanut?"

The uncle listened to a series of English, dizzy and didn't understand what it meant, but when he saw the fat woman seemed to be praising himself, he quickly said happily: "Yes! We are two equally famous detectives. Of course, Shiroto is still young, and many I need to take care of all the places, and this time I brought him to the UK to learn a lot..."

The people present did not understand Japanese, nor could they understand what the uncle was saying, but the atmosphere of the conversation was not bad, although everyone said their own things, it was surprisingly harmonious.

Being able to mix well on any occasion, no matter how embarrassing the situation is, being able to cope with it may be one of the talents of the uncle, and in the end he even surpassed Gao Cheng, regardless of the language barrier, he performed directly in front of the guests His own judo became the focus of the banquet.

Gao Cheng ignored the uncle who was sweating more and more, and marked all the places involved in the code on the map. Even though he didn't know the meaning of the new code in each place, he still found quite subtle places through the map.

Starting from Big Ben in the middle, follow the line in turn, return to Big Ben and then connect to the last Mason Porcelain Store. An abstract tennis racket shape appears on the map.

Of course, it is impossible to say for sure that it refers to the tennis racket, but if it is true, the prisoner's target is likely to be the ongoing Wimbledon tennis tournament, and the day after tomorrow is the final on Saturday.

……

In the hotel room, Gao Cheng looked at Kudo Shinichi in front of him with squinted eyes.

After the banquet was over, I said why Xiaolan didn't go back to look for Conan, and saw such a horrifying scene when she returned to the room.

"So, you have taken the antidote for returning home?"

"What can I do?" Kudo Shinichi said helplessly, "I was almost caught by Xiaolan. If I don't eat it, Edogawa Conan will be the same as Kudo Shinichi when he was a child, wouldn't he be exposed?"

Gao Cheng's eyelids became heavier: "That's why I find it strange that you, who are Kudo Shinichi, should still be in Japan, right? Why did Xiaolan arrest you?"

"It's, it's a long story," Kudo Shinichi grabbed his hair with a headache, and said in annoyance, "There is no way, this body will turn back to Conan at some point, and I can only find an excuse to hide in the room for a day tomorrow." ...

"Kiroto, it seems that the interpretation of the code is still going to trouble you. The seven sentences in the code probably refer to buildings in various places...Damn it, this is really bad, if you don't solve it quickly..."

"If it's those buildings, I've already found them. Tomorrow I will try my best to solve all the puzzles, so as not to let the criminal succeed."

Gao Cheng secretly sighed, sure enough, it was right for Xiao Ai to ask him to bring more antidote, this guy can't be trusted in this kind of thing, as long as there is a possibility of messing around, he will definitely mess up.

Shaking his head, Gao Cheng took out all the collected items under Kudo Shinichi's dazed expression, and even took photos of the drain on the bridge next to Big Ben, and the one at the station who also took photos Suitcase in the hands of a man in a suit.

"Almost every place has left a case title from one of the Sherlock Holmes series, Big Ben has "Uncanny Valley", Elephant Castle Station has "The Missing Groom", Egg Building Town Hall has "Mazelen Gems" , and then the Gherkin Building is "The Dancing Man"... Tomorrow I will go to the remaining two places to look for it."

Kudo Shinichi stared, and waited until Gao Cheng came up with all the clues before recovering: "You found it all?"

"What do you think?"

"Uh, I mean...you're not lost."
