Penggli Rhapsody

For Conan who came to London to participate in the trip, the rare trip to London these days is probably considered unlucky.

With great difficulty, with the help of Haibara Ai, Kudo Shinichi, a high school student, was temporarily restored to his identity. He passed the security check with his passport and came to London, the holy place where Sherlock Holmes was born.

While searching for clues about the murderer, his childhood sweetheart Mao Lilan accidentally discovered his whereabouts, and Conan, who was also stuck in a certain phone booth, had no choice but to take advantage of the return flight to temporarily restore his original identity. Kudo Shinichi's medicine.

Although this accident gave Kudo Shinichi the opportunity to confess to his favorite childhood sweetheart, Mao Lilan, under the Big Ben in London.

But the sequelae that followed...the serious question about how Conan, a child from a black family, would return to Japan from London after the recovery of the medicine failed.

...It can only be said that leaving the order is risky, and you need to be cautious in confessing.

But there is nothing to do if things happen. For Kudo Shinichi who has become Conan again, the most important thing now is to find the murderer lurking in this city and wait for an opportunity in the metropolis of London. The most important.

After clearing away the heavy fog, Conan finally found out that the target of the killer was Nerva Glass, the grass queen who was playing on the Wimbledon tennis court in London.

Nerva Glass's blind mother in the audience, to be exact.

Nerva Glass, Queen of Grassland, was told by a murderer who was hiding in a corner of the auditorium that her mother, who was watching the match, was holding a bomb in her hand, but because of the silent warning from the murderer, she couldn't make it clear. Call for help from others at Wimbledon.

As a last resort, the Queen of the Grass Field used the wisdom of her favorite idol, Sherlock Holmes, to use the landing point of a tennis ball to form the meaning of "help" in Braille on the tennis court in full view, hoping that some of the audience could understand her cryptic distress signal .

But after working hard on the tennis court for so long, no one in the crowd of spectators seemed to notice anything unusual.

Could it be that an admirable genius like Sherlock Holmes really exists only in books!

——Nerva Glass thought with some despair.

"...h, e, l, p, help, that is a signal for help." Because the seat number Judaime bought was relatively close to the tennis court, the prisoner could clearly see Nerva Glass hitting the ball on the court. The landing point of tennis.

"What happened?" Hearing the words of the prison temple, Takeshi Yamamoto suddenly became serious.

"I want to know, too. I just came to see a football game... Fortunately, Judaime didn't come." Guiji Junren looked around cautiously.

At this moment, a black-haired boy in a suit and red tie, who looked only six or seven years old, yelled at Nerva Glass, the grass queen on the tennis court, from the auditorium.

"I'llhelpyou!! (I will help (save) you!!)"

"I'maHolmes'apprentice!! (I am Holmes' apprentice!!)"【Note】

Nerva Glass on the tennis court froze for a moment, as if realizing something.

Then, the information composed of the landing point of the tennis ball on the tennis court began to change.

If this change is explained from God's vision, it seems that Nerva Glass seems to believe that the little boy understood her distress signal.

—and then Nerva Glass started using tennis balls to send more messages to the little boy.

"A disciple of Holmes?" The prisoner who was a little further away looked at the little boy with a double meaning in the auditorium opposite him in surprise, and said with a soft snort.

"Small tone."

"The position of the tennis ball on the tennis court has changed." Takeshi Yamamoto looked at the tennis court.

The prison temple associate's expression became serious.

"It seems that a clue has been found." Takeshi Yamamoto smiled.
