Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 830: London detective

"How can I get lost with a map?"

Gao Chengbai glanced at it and pointed to the line on the map and continued: "At present, I still think the Wimbledon tennis match is the most dangerous. The same thing was said by the boy you met with the sister of the tennis queen. It proves that the prisoner is eyeing this game. The question is the time of the crime and whether the prisoner has only this goal. After all, the prisoner has a lot of children in contact with."

Shinichi Kudo became solemn and carefully studied Gao Cheng's inference.

"In this way, we must first clarify the meaning of these titles. The prisoner left these things related to Sherlock Holmes. If the title is a reminder..."

"Boom!"

Kudo Shinichi suddenly pulled out the head of the "Magellan Jewel" doll found outside the city hall, and saw a capital "T" appearing on the doll's neck, and his expression was stunned.

"It turns out that in the story of "Magellan Gems", which is also "Crown Jewels", Holmes said that'except for a brain accident, everything else is just an appendix.' This meant that the prisoner left the title. The key lines of Holmes are clues."

"T?"

Seeing the letters hidden by the doll, Gao Cheng picked up the old pen found near the Gherkin Building.

"In that case, the title engraved on the pen is "Dancing Man". In this story, Holmes said,'Omit all the reasoning in the middle. Just tell the other party the starting point and conclusion. Although it is simple, it surprised the other party. The effect is very good...'."

Looking at the pen full of nicks, Gao Cheng unscrewed the caps of the head and the end, removed the pen body in the middle, and put it together. After a little rotation, several nicks were connected together to form a letter "N". .

"The letters are indeed hidden, that is to say, the prisoner hides the letters in the places mentioned in the code, and can they be combined into any words after finding them all?"

"Probably, but," Shin Kudo re-examined Gao Chengdao with his eyelids collapsed. "Weird, you are not a Sherlock Holmes fan. Why are you so familiar with Sherlock Holmes's lines?"

"Not only his lines, but his reasoning ideas and methods are also very familiar to me."

Gao Cheng continued to look at the pictures of the other two places.

Big Ben and that station, the relevant line in "Uncanny Valley" is "If there is a heavy object disappearing by the water, it will not be wrong to first see if something sinks to the bottom of the water", and "The Missing Groom" It is "When I observe women, I first pay attention to the cuffs. For men, it is better to look at the knees of the pants."

"The knee part of the trousers...no wonder you have to prepare even your clothes. It seems that you will have to run again tomorrow."

But will it really go smoothly?

The prisoner is quite experienced. Except at the station, other places seem to pay for someone to act according to the instructions. It can be described as meticulous.

Gao Cheng frowned secretly, not as excited by the progress of puzzle solving as Kudo Shinichi.

There is no problem in unlocking the secret signal. The key is to be able to solve the prisoner. This point needs to be considered carefully.

Although it was the trouble that this guy brought without authorization, it is no longer a simple matter since the case may happen. Preventing crime is one of the responsibilities of all detectives.

The next morning, when Gao Cheng had breakfast and was about to go out, the morning paper published the suspect’s information. According to the information released by the police, the suspect’s fingerprints were found on the secret paper.

He is a serial murderer on the run, named Hades Sabala, and the newspaper also has a portrait with a strangely distorted and dangerous look, which is quite different from the usual serial murderers who seem to be mediocre in the past.

Shinichi Kudo stayed in the hotel to investigate the prisoner's information. Although Gao Cheng still had to go outside, he contacted Xiao Ai in Japan and asked Xiao Ai to help collect information, criminal motives, and past criminal behaviors as much as possible. It is very important information.

The streets of London on this day are not much different from the past, except that occasionally I can see more police patrols. Gao Cheng took the uncle and Xiao Lan who accompanied the investigation. First, he went to Big Ben and found it by the bridge. The fishing line was hung into the drain cover in the river, and the letter "A" was found on it, and then went to St. Bled's Church.

Just like the fat woman and the group said, the upper part of the church is the shape of the wedding cake, which is the first choice for many people in London for their wedding location.

There are still many thick papers in plastic bags scattered around the church, but after asking people around, no one knows who left it.

"The Scandal of Bohemia" written in black pen on the pale pink thick paper is also a well-known story in the Sherlock Holmes series.

In the story, Holmes read a light pink letter to Watson. The line was "You don't understand because you are only seeing with your eyes, not observing."

"But," Xiaolan asked puzzledly, "how to interpret this? There seems to be nothing strange..."

"So you can't just look at it with your eyes."

Gao Cheng took out the paper in the plastic bag, grabbed the mineral water that the uncle was drinking, and soaked the paper: "Packed in a plastic bag should mean that the paper should be wetted with water, and it came out..."

As the paper was penetrated by water, the letters on the paper gradually became blurred, and in the end only the "S" remained clear.

"Only S is written with an oil-based pen, so there are only two places left."

After Gao Cheng took the photo, he continued to the Elephant Castle Station.

Yesterday the man didn't know where he went, but today there was also someone walking around the exit of the station with a suitcase.

Xiaolan said in surprise: "It's true, Identity is written on the box, and then."

"Look at the knee part of the pants."

Gao Cheng stepped forward, exchanged a few words with the man, squatted down and lifted up the man's trousers, and found the letter U on the inner knee of the trousers.

"U..."

"A at Big Ben, U at the station, T at the egg-shaped city hall, N at the Gherkin Building, S at the Cake Church, the six lines in front of the signal are connected to AUTNSA... Does this have any special meaning?" Uncle Maori wondered Tao.

"I don't know," Gao Cheng looked at the last place on the map, the Mason Porcelain Specialty Store. "There is still a letter missing..."

Mason porcelain is the best porcelain in Europe. There is indeed only one specialty store in London. When Gao Chengda arrived all the way, I found out that children had pranked pranks on the outside in the past two days and put strange decorations on the outside.

The decoration looks pretty good, the silk threads of various colors are tied together, and there are small bells hanging underneath, but it is not clear what is written on the silk thread.

"What to do?" Xiaolan looked at the dirty silk thread and said anxiously, "I don't know the title this time..."

"It's okay," Gao Cheng rummaged in the bell, "probably it was written "Study of Blood Characters", because the line says "On the colorless spool of life, the red thread of murder is wrapped around it." , Our job is to untie this thread, separate it, not even leave an inch, and expose it to the scorching sun'...

"Yes, there is a letter on the red line bell."

"R?"

Uncle Maori stared at the bell and said, "If you add this, it's AUTNSAR. What does it mean? It doesn't seem to be a good combination of words."

"Ok."

Gao Cheng held the bell silently and looked around, but unfortunately he still didn't see any suspicious characters, or the prisoner had hidden himself deeply.

"Ah! It's here!" A car stopped in front of the store, and a little boy hurriedly ran down. It happened to be the little boy Glass that Conan had met before.

Xiao Lan said unexpectedly: "Are you the kid named Apollo who gave Conan a secret signal?"

"Conan?" The boy noticed Gao Chengyi and asked, "Do you know the disciples of Sherlock Holmes?"

"Sherlock Holmes's disciple?" Xiao Lan was stunned and smiled, "He caught a cold and was sleeping in the hotel today, so we went out to investigate on his behalf, but we also have two detectives."

"Famous detective?" The little boy subconsciously looked at Gao Cheng and the uncle behind him, with an obviously unknown expression on his face, "But I haven't seen it."

"It's a famous Japanese detective..." Xiaolan looked awkwardly at a dignified woman sitting in the car. UU reading www.uukanshu.com then asked the child, "Why are you here?"

The little boy proudly said: "Because my mother has solved the secret code, the last sentence refers to this Mason shop, my mother is a Sherlock Holmes fan!"

"Yes, is it?"

"Okay, Apollo, don't be rude," the woman in the car wearing sunglasses, seemingly unable to see, shouted at the boy following the voice, "Let’s go back to the hotel, and tomorrow we will go to your sister’s game to cheer. Yeah!"

"But," the little boy defended anxiously, "I don't know what will happen before the signal is completely solved!"

"Apollo..."

"Madam," Gao Cheng said suddenly, "Can you give this child some time? I am afraid that only Apollo has the key clues in this incident."

Although the woman couldn't see it, she still turned her head to face Gao Cheng: "Are you?"
