Conan's other self

In the hotel suite, Maplehara and Haibara Ai gathered together to check information just like they did in the morning.

"Can he use a gun?"

"It didn't say..." Haihara Ai said while checking, "He didn't use guns in his previous actions... Do you think he would use sniping to kill Glass?"

"When Hades was distributing the code, he told many people that someone would die, right in front of the opponent...so I think he wanted to do it during the live broadcast of the game..."

Fengyuan held his chin and sat next to Haibara Ai, "But it is really difficult to use sniper method, and it is too easy to be discovered...The key is that there is no way to record the video..."

Hades had recorded the scene of the crime before, and Maplehara felt that this time should be no exception.

Haiyuan Ai didn't reply, but tilted her head slightly to watch Fengyuan's expression in thought.

"He probably still wants to use bombs..."

Feng Yuan then thought about it, "This is more consistent with the idea that many people can see it, and can also record the video... But blowing up the auditorium with bombs is okay, but wanting to blow up the people on the court is a bit - by the way, Hai Yuan , help me find information about Minerva Glass’s mother.”

"Her mother?"

"Well." Fengyuan explained, "Isn't Hades doing this series of things all because of his mother's death? I think that for him, revenge can not only be directed against Glass, but also against her mother... "

This is what is called making the other person feel the same pain as yourself...

In Mihua, it is quite common for prisoners to think this way.

From online reports and previous interviews with Minerva Glass, they learned that her mother was almost blind due to an accident, but she would come to the finals of every Minerva competition. on site.

"Except for last year's French Open," Haibara Ai said, "that's when she lost the game..."

"Hades also lost his mother's life and his entire life that time. In this case, he is indeed very likely to target Minerva Glass's mother..."

This is just a guess about the other party's psychological activities, but for a vicious prisoner like Hades, this guess is enough to take certain actions.

Thinking of this, even though it was still early morning in Japan, after all, many people's lives were at stake, so Maplehara directly called Kudo Yusaku.

but…

Can't get through.

"What's wrong?"

"Well..." Fengyuan dialed Kudo Yukiko's number instead, but couldn't get through either. "I think dad may really care about this..."

Early the next morning.

Maplehara and Haibara Ai still used the previous method to sneak out of the room when there was no one in the corridor, and did not meet the two people Kudo Shinichi had met ten years ago.

They took a taxi directly to Wimbledon Stadium, and Fengyuan planned to take a look at the environment.

However, the final was going to be held at two o'clock in the afternoon, so the court was obviously not that easy to get into, so they wandered around the outside.

"What are you looking at?"

Feng Yuan asked, noticing that Hai Yuan Ai was secretly observing pedestrians nearby while wearing glasses because he was a child.

"Maybe Hades will set up shop here?" Haiyuan Ai replied, "If he wants to do something in the afternoon..."

"He won't show up here now. If it were that easy to be discovered, he would have been caught long ago..."

"Not always…"

Hui Yuan Ai snorted, "I just noticed a very suspicious woman... maybe he is pretending..."

She was talking, and then she subconsciously stopped talking, because the woman over there wearing a hat and sunglasses, with long black hair exposed under the hat, no longer looked around, but walked straight towards her.

"Oh, you said that one over there, that one is..."

"Hi!" The woman with long black hair bent over and looked at Haihara Ai with a smile, "Miss Glasses~"

Haihara Ai was stunned for a moment, "Yes, Yukiko sister...aunt."

She heard it from the voice, and then Kudo Yukiko in front of her half took off her sunglasses and winked at her.

"Why Miss Glasses?" Fengyuan asked.

"Of course it's because Xiao Ai always wears your glasses when I go out with you... Really, such a cute face is covered by your glasses... right?"

She explained to Fengyuan, and finally looked at Haiyuan Ai. Haiyuan Ai blushed slightly after being praised, and didn't know how to respond for a while. Fortunately, Fengyuan immediately got to the point.

"By the way, how did you get here?" Fengyuan asked, "Can't you use your original identity anymore?"

"I temporarily borrowed the identity of a friend your father knows..." Yukiko Kudo replied, "Don't worry, there will be no problem..."

"In this case, Haiyuan and I can use other people's identities at that time..."

"It's too late to find someone else at that time!"

Although Kudo Yukiko explained it this way, Maplehara still felt that she just wanted him and Haibara to use their identities...

Probably some kind of weird bad taste.

"Furthermore," Kudo Yukiko continued, "Your father and I had no plans to come to London at that time... Although your father solved the code last time, he failed to prevent the crime, so he was a little concerned... It just so happens that I can't worry about you either. I just rushed here..."

She helped make the costume props, and also disassembled the main part of the doctor's button-type voice changer and integrated it into the disguise, so that Maplehara and Haibara Ai could come out alone.

"We'll be fine..."

"By the way," Kudo Yukiko changed the subject and pulled Fengyuan along to whisper, "How is the progress between you and Xiao Ai?"

"Eh?" Fengyuan was stunned for a moment.

"Really, I specially asked you to dress up as me and your father, thinking that you two can make some progress! Xiaoxin, you haven't done anything, right?"

"There is still a case..."

"Don't change the subject!"

"It's not good to keep talking in whispers like this, leaving Haiyuan aside..."

"snort…"

Kudo Yukiko abandoned Feng Yuan directly, and pulled Haibara Ai aside to whisper. Thinking that Feng Yuan had good hearing, she deliberately walked far away, and specifically told Feng Yuan not to listen.

After a while, the whispers over there ended.

"Your father is at Scotland Yard right now," Kudo Yukiko said to Maplehara and Haibara Ai, "Shall we go there now?"

…

In the afternoon, before the game starts.

Wimbledon Stadium.

Minerva Glass' younger brother, Apollo Glass, is surrounded by his sister's fans.

Although they can't see Minerva, it is very satisfying for fans to be able to say cheers to her brother.

After a while, the fans dispersed, and Apollo left carrying a bag given to him by a fan. In the bag was a stuffed toy given to his sister by the fan.

However, he can't disturb his sister who is preparing to compete now. He plans to wait until her sister wins the competition before giving it to her. Now he will leave it with his mother...

Today is the final, and my mother is coming to watch the game too...

He suddenly noticed two tall men wearing windbreakers appearing in front of him.

"Can you hand this toy over to us? This is a necessary safety check."

the other side.

The man who handed the teddy bear to Apollo watched Apollo turn around and leave his sight, with a proud smile on his lips.

He pressed the brim of his hat and walked into the toilet carrying his canvas bag. When he came out again, he had taken off his hat, his original black curly hair had turned into short blond hair, and he had put on a pair of glasses.

However, before he took two steps, he was stopped by two men in trench coats who looked like plainclothes policemen. The one walking in front was a bald black man, holding a newspaper with a photo on it and questioning him.

"Excuse me, have you seen this man?"

"ah?"

"It seems like he just walked into the toilet you walked out of..."

"Who is this man?" He showed a curious expression.

"He is the vicious criminal causing commotion in London now..." The bald man unfolded the newspaper and revealed another photo, "It should look like this now..."

"No, I didn't see it!"

"Really? Sorry..."

The bald man said something and turned around and left with his companions.

The man carrying the canvas bag glanced at the two men and heard them say that it was impossible for the prisoner to appear here.

He turned around directly, stretched out his right hand that had been in his pocket, opened his canvas bag and took a look.

Inside were wigs, hats and coats.

Incompetent guys...

Sure enough, no one can reach my field...

He was a little proud.

Then a childish voice suddenly sounded beside him.

"Uncle, what's in your canvas bag?"

He subconsciously pulled back the zipper of the canvas bag, looked to the side, and found that the person speaking was a very cute-looking Asian child, who was looking up at him.

"Nothing...just towels and water..."

"Oh...I thought it was a wig and a hat..."

"What are you talking about?" The man with the canvas bag changed his face slightly, and his right hand that was originally on the canvas bag quietly went back into his pocket, "Where are the adults in your family?"

"Right next to you."

He was stunned for a moment, and then he felt his right wrist being grasped tightly.

"Although you have a different face, your voice... I still remember it very clearly..." Kudo Yusaku said, "Mr. Hades Sabala..."

This man is Hades.

He was already targeted when he gave Apollo the stuffed toy, but in order to dispose of the bomb first, Kudo Yusaku and the police did not take action directly.

As a child, Maplehara, who was not easily alerted, followed him quietly. And, although he had taken off his disguise, his shoes and canvas bag were still the same.

At this time, the police officers there had confirmed that there was a bomb in the teddy bear toy, handed the bomb to the bomb disposal team, and notified them through the earphones.

It is worth mentioning that because they did not want to cause a commotion, the police also sent people to buy a new teddy bear and rush over.

Hades' expression suddenly changed. He was deeply impressed by this man who unlocked his secret code without being present.

He tried to struggle, but the grip on his wrist was very tight, and when his left hand tried to escape the attack, it was also gripped tightly.

It was the bald man and his companion who had just pretended to leave.

"That's it, Hades Sabara..."

"Because we were worried that there was a detonating device in your pocket, we waited until you took your hand out before taking action..." Fengyuan explained thoughtfully, "I didn't expect you to confidently reach out and look at your canvas bag after being interrogated... Saved a lot of effort..."

The incident was resolved in this way.

Yusaku Kudo is responsible for subsequent communication with the police. He and Kudo Yukiko will also return to their temporary hotel in the afternoon so that Maplehara and Haibara Ai can board the plane back to Japan.

"There is still some time," Feng Yuan glanced at his watch and said to Hai Yuan Ai, "Shall we go for a walk?"

"OK."

"Do you have a place you want to go?" Fengyuan suggested cautiously, a little worried that it would affect Haiyuan Ai's mood, "For example, the place where your mother lived before..."

"No need." Haiyuan Ai shook his head gently, "Let's go to the Sherlock Holmes Museum..."

"But…"

"It's nothing but, I also want to go, let's go..." Haihara Ai urged, "By the way, why don't you tell Edogawa and the others?"

"Well... Mom said she would tell Conan..."

…

"Hey, hey, it's already past two o'clock!" In the taxi, Uncle Maori glanced at his watch, "The game has already started!"

Yesterday, Dr. Ali received Fengyuan's reply and learned the location pointed to by those codes, so he successfully solved the code - although it seemed that Fengyuan was not needed.

Just now, they deduced that the prisoner's target was Wimbledon Stadium, where the finals will be held today, and they hurried over.

"But," the doctor said, "what are you going to do even if you get to Wimbledon? There are no tickets..."

"As long as you have momentum! What's the problem!"

"Qi, momentum..."

"How's it going? Conan..." Xiaolan asked Conan who was on the phone at the side, "Have you gotten through Apollo's phone?"

"Not yet... maybe he turned off the power while watching the game..." Conan said, and the phone was connected, "Ah... Hey, hey! Apollo? Is it Apollo? What are you doing! Nothing. Contact me?"

"I'm sorry...where are you now?"

Apollo replied, "It's not good to answer the phone in the auditorium, so I went to the passage... By the way, did you call me to say that the prisoner who gave me the secret code has been caught?"

"Ah, no, not yet..."

"Then why are you calling me now! I'm watching my sister's game!"

"Did anything strange happen on the field? Or did anyone talk to you?"

"Ah, my sister's fans all told me to come on! My mother, Ares, and I all know each other... and they gave me a big stuffed toy to give to my sister! By the way! There were guards who gave the stuffed toy to me. The toy was leaving for inspection! It took a while for them to return it..."

After all, it is a competition that attracts worldwide attention, so it is normal to strengthen security...

"...How is your sister doing?"

Conan asked about Minerva's situation, and then tried to get tickets to enter the stadium. Unfortunately, Apollo did not have any extra tickets.

Arriving at the gate of Wimbledon Stadium, there were guards again. Because of his impatience, Conan even wanted to shoot the guard unconscious with a tranquilizer gun.

But then Lady Diana appeared beside them.

She helped them get tickets to Murray Mound, a place next to Wimbledon Stadium where fans watch games on a big screen.

After watching for a while, Conan came back from his thoughts and asked Xiaolan: "So, how was the competition?"

"It seems that Miss Minerva is not in good condition..." Xiaolan showed a worried expression, "The serve keeps touching the net... Now we are trailing 0-3..."

Then Minerva lost the first game with a score of 0-6.

Every time she serves, she touches the net two or three times before delivering a soft serve.

But, it's very strange...

Conan thought to himself that he could serve the first serve without fear of making mistakes and hit the boundary with force... But let alone double faults just now, there was not even one mistake...

"Ah, it's out! The location of Miss Minerva's serve in this game!" Xiaolan looked at the screen, "The location where the tennis ball touches the tennis ball seems to be marked..."

"It's as if it's been measured, and the placement point is very clear..."

this is…

"Hey! Miss Minerva today..." Conan thought of something and looked at Xiaolan, "Is there anything strange?"

"What's weird? Are you saying her serving condition is not good?"

"No, it means that she will do things that she doesn't usually do, or won't do things that she usually does..."

"Th-so to speak..."

There happened to be a close-up of Minerva on the screen.

"She doesn't seem to be wearing a wristband on her right hand..." Xiaolan said, "She clearly said in the interview that she would definitely wear the wristband her father gave her during the finals... Did she forget to bring it?"

Wrist guards?

Conan quickly sent an email to Apollo and asked him to come out and meet.

After a while.

"What? The prisoner's target is my sister?" Apollo asked in surprise.

"That's right! Your sister probably noticed it too, so she told us the location of where the serve landed!"

"But, how did she know?" Dr. Ali was puzzled.

"The prisoner should have told her, such as hiding a letter on the inside of the wristband... If it is a racket that is used all the time, it is unlikely, but the wristband that is only worn during the finals has a chance to be tampered with. …”

"So, I didn't see my sister's bag in the hotel last time...but I found it right away and checked the contents..."

"They must have moved their hands and feet at that time! The inside of the wrist guard is usually not carefully inspected..."

"Then I'll tell everyone!"

"No!" Uncle Maori stopped him. "Although I still don't know how the prisoner wanted to kill your sister...but that guy was a vicious criminal who immediately blew up the hospital after the code was revealed!"

"If you cause a commotion and stop the game, your sister may be killed at that moment!"

"Then what should we do? You don't want me to watch in silence, do you?"

"We have no intention of keeping silent... So, can you give me your ticket?" Conan stretched out his hand, "I will go to the central venue to find the prisoner on your behalf... I will definitely protect your sister!"

After all, the other party was someone who claimed to be a disciple of Sherlock Holmes, so Apollo did not refuse.

Arriving at the center court, Conan looked at the landing point of Minerva's serve in the third game on the court and confirmed his guess just now - in order to prevent the prisoner from finding out, Minerva used the landing point of the serve to spell out Braille and connect them together. It’s “HELP”…

She's asking for help from someone who can read the signal...

By tracking the telescopic function of the glasses, Conan also confirmed that Minerva had thrown the bracer under her own resting bench.

There was a piece of paper sandwiched on the inside of the wristband, but it was basically blocked and he couldn't see what was written on it.

But now, she has to tell Minerva that she is here to help her without affecting the game, so that she can find a way to tell her what is written on the paper...

Conan was thinking in his mind, and then he heard the people next to him start loudly cheering for Minerva who seemed to be in poor condition. They didn't stop until the referee asked for silence.

Seeing this, Conan stretched out his hands in a gesture of embracing the sky, and shouted to Minerva: "Minerva! I will help you! Because I am a disciple of Sherlock Holmes!"

Because other people nearby had quieted down, his voice stood out. Minerva heard it immediately and thought of the "disciple of Sherlock Holmes" that her brother had mentioned to her.

"Can you really help me if you are so young?" Minerva asked aloud.

"Of course..."

Everyone around him laughed. Conan was a little embarrassed, but then he became serious again. Now was not the time to waste time.

But then, he heard his phone ringing.

Really…

Who is calling in this critical moment...

Thinking like this, Conan still picked up the phone and took a look...

"mom, Mom, Mom?"
