Conan's other self

A few minutes later.

"Won't you join them?"

Watching the doctor and Conan walk away, Haiyuan Ai turned to look at Fengyuan, "If we think about it together, can we unlock the code faster?"

"But the situation is different now..."

Because he was not wearing sunglasses and a hat like Haibara Ai, he was easily recognized. Maplehara did not look in Conan's direction, "It seems that Conan doesn't intend to wander around outside like Kudo Shinichi when he comes back like this. I I guess he is planning to stay in the hotel until the effects of the medicine wear off..."

This makes it impossible to talk about acting together.

"Besides," Maplehara continued, "I always feel that there will be a lot of restrictions if we join together... We are about to change back..."

If he appeared in front of Uncle Mouri and Xiaolan as a child, not only would it be difficult to explain his appearance in London, but he might also be unable to move freely, so Kaedehara did not intend to reveal his identity.

Since all the people who might be in the way had gone away, Fengyuan and Haibara Ai naturally gave priority to unlocking the code, and then walked towards the Big Ben on the other side of the bridge, intending to see if there were any clues near Big Ben. .

When he reached the middle of the bridge, Maplehara stopped.

This is almost the place where Conan just confessed his love to Xiaolan again.

Seeing Feng Yuan stop here, Hai Yuan Ai also stopped to observe, and then noticed the blood stains at her feet.

"It's blood stains..." Hui Yuan Ai reminded, "it hasn't solidified yet..."

"Hmm... I must have tripped here."

Fengyuan pointed to Haiyuan Ai to look at a small drain without a cover next to it. "Judging from the distance from the blood stain to the drain, it seems that the person who fell down was a child..."

Haibara Ai glanced again in the direction where Conan and the doctor left.

But now the two people are no longer visible.

"I don't know whether I should say Conan is lucky or unlucky..." Feng Yuan said, "This is how I came across a clue..."

There is a line of words written in English on the side of the drain.

"The valley of Fear...uncanny valley?" Haiyuan Ai lowered his head and muttered, "Is this the title of a Sherlock Holmes story?"

"Yes, I think this should be part of the code. Do you remember what the doctor said in the email? The man said that if you can't solve it, ask Holmes... This is what I want to refer to..."

Fengyuan thought for a moment and looked at Haibara Ai, "If I asked Holmes about this, what would Holmes say?"

"ah?"

"He said to ask Holmes, and he specifically marked the title of the story here," Maplehara explained, "Then the clue is probably what Holmes said."

Haiyuan Ai glanced at the Thames River under the bridge, "If something heavy disappears by the water's edge, it wouldn't be wrong to go down to the bottom of the water first to see if anything sank there..."

"You actually remember it so clearly..."

"You're not the only one who's seen it."

In fact, not only has she seen it...

She had watched it again before, and ended up having a messy dream about ten years in the future when she was trying "cold medicine"...

After briefly recalling it in his mind, Haiyuan Ai saw Fengyuan walking towards the street lamp on the bridge next to him, and picked up a thin fishing line wrapped around the pillar under the street lamp that connected with the bridge.

"So…"

Maplehara rolled up the thread and pulled up something, which was the cover of the drain, "That's it..."

"...Have you noticed this fishing line a long time ago?" Haiyuan Ai rolled his eyes at Fengyuan angrily.

"yes."

"Then you still pretend to ask me about Sherlock Holmes..."

"But it's also very important," Fengyuan explained. "This shows that the code is indeed based on this idea... that is, finding the corresponding lines of Sherlock Holmes..."

Fengyuan did not touch the cover, but just held it in his hand and looked at it.

Haihara Ai didn't hesitate any longer and looked over as well, noticing a letter engraved on the lid, "A?"

"The first sentence corresponds to the letter A..."

Feng Yuan thought, "There are seven sentences in total. Maybe each sentence is like this, each corresponding to a letter... Then the other sentences should also refer to specific locations..."

Haiyuan Ai took out her phone at the right time, clicked on the photo, and put it between the two of them to look at together. Fengyuan had forwarded the photo to her before.

"The prompt word for the first sentence is bells..." Haihara Ai said, "Then the second sentence is castle or long nose?"

"I have some ideas about some of the sentences. For example, the egg in the third sentence can easily be associated with the egg-shaped London City Hall, but I'm not sure..."

Although Kudo Shinichi is a Sherlock Holmes fan, he is actually more familiar with the nineteenth-century London described in the novel, and is not very familiar with the landmark buildings in London today.

Feng Yuan glanced at the sky. It was already past nine o'clock and the sky was getting darker.

"It's getting late. If those people are all writing in such an inconspicuous place, it might not be convenient for investigation at night. Let's go to the hotel first? I just happened to check it online."

The time for their medicine to take effect is almost up, and they have to leave enough time to avoid changing back outside. And to be honest, Fengyuan is indeed a little tired now. He didn't sleep on the plane.

In addition, there is no reason for the other party to take action so quickly, and they should have enough time. Just like a doctor cannot reveal the answer immediately after telling a bad joke, the person who gave the code will always leave a certain amount of time for the person who solved the code.

With this in mind, Fengyuan sank the sewer cover again to prevent others from finding the information pointed to by the code, and then they took a taxi to the hotel.

The hotel had been booked a long time ago. Kudo Yusaku called a friend he knew to help book the hotel in the name of Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko.

After getting out of the car, Haiyuan Ai looked at the nearby buildings.

"Vauxhall Bridge...is that the SIS headquarters?"

SIS is the abbreviation of the British intelligence agency MI6, and its headquarters building can be seen from here.

"Yeah..." Fengyuan picked up the suitcase, "Dad's friend may be working here..."

"..."

"What's wrong?" Fengyuan noticed that Haiyuan Ai seemed a little worried.

"Aren't you worried?"

Haihara Ai glanced at the SIS headquarters building again, "Eavesdropping... maybe there are hidden cameras..."

So that’s what I was worried about…

"...This is a normal hotel. It is not specifically used by intelligence agencies. Moreover, dad trusts the other party, and the other party also thinks that it is dad and the others who are staying... Of course, I will also check the room carefully."

"Anyway... let's go up first?" Fengyuan continued, "I've been dragging my suitcase with me..."

After completing the registration and returning to the suite, Fengyuan checked the room carefully, followed by Haihara Ai. Then she sat at the table, took out the laptop she brought, and began to investigate the location pointed to by the code as Fengyuan had asked her to do. .

Feng Principle sat next to him, holding a map of London and looking at it.

"The key word in the third line of the code should be egg, which refers to the London City Hall," Haihara Ai said while looking at the computer screen. "The pickled cucumber in the fourth line should refer to the Gherkin Building, which is called the Gherkin."

"The second line should refer to the [Elephant and Castle] district, which is the name of a district in London. The long trunk refers to the elephant." Maplehara looked at the map and said, "The sixth line should also refer to Big Ben. The letter A may be used twice."

"Then the cake in the fifth line refers to St. Wedding Cathedral, which is designed in the shape of a wedding cake? What about the secret code in the seventh line?"

"I haven't thought of it yet..."

"Ah... there are things even the great detective doesn't know about..."

"Hey..." Fengyuan said helplessly, "Even Holmes doesn't know everything..."

"Ah, yes, someone in the chat room replied..." Haihara Ai just said casually, keeping his attention on the computer screen, "Well, I think this person may be the logo of Mason Porcelain..."

Meissen Porcelain is the earliest porcelain factory established in Germany in Europe. Its logo is two swords. [Two swords inserted behind white] is the double swords logo behind the famous white Meissen Porcelain.

Mason Porcelain has only one store in London.

"This will clear everything up," Fengyuan said, "We will go take a look tomorrow...Thanks, Haiyuan."

However, I always feel like I've forgotten something...

This thought suddenly appeared in Feng Yuan's mind.

But before he had time to think about it, he noticed that Hui Yuan Ai suddenly frowned and couldn't help but press the heart position on her chest...

They are going back...

They were worried that there were cameras in the room, and then they went straight into the code investigation. They didn't take off their disguises, so...

I still haven't seen Miyano Shiho's appearance.

At this time, Haiyuan Ai was enduring the pain of transformation again. Naturally, it was impossible for him to mention such a thing...

Hope to see you before going back...

Feng Yuan's heart also beat violently, and then it seemed as if it was being held, and his mind seemed to go blank.

After a while.

The two elementary school students huddled in adult clothes looked at each other.

…

the next day.

Fengyuan was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly.

He could vaguely sense that Hui Yuan Ai had woken up and moved around softly a few times, but the movements of such a familiar person did not make him alert, so he went on to sleep.

It wasn't until his nose was pinched by cool and delicate fingers that he felt a little breathless, then Feng Yuan opened his hazy eyes.

"You lazy boy, it's time to get up!"

Hui Yuan Ai took back her hand, put her hands on her hips and looked down at him.

Feng Yuan blinked in confusion, feeling a little sleepy.

Because they are both children, and the bed is very spacious, they often sleep in the same tent when camping in the past, so they slept in the same bed last night...of course, keeping enough distance.

But it feels completely different from when camping...

sleepy…

"You still have secret codes to solve, right?" Hui Yuan Ai continued to urge.

"Ah, yes..."

Feng Yuan suddenly woke up.

Because he was sleeping in children's clothes, there was no dressing process. Fengyuan rubbed his sleepy eyes and went directly to the bathroom to wash up. Haiyuan Ai hummed softly and sat back in front of the computer.

When Feng Yuan came out, he noticed that Hai Yuan Ai was reading a report, so he moved to the side to read together, "What's wrong? Oh... it's the latest news..."

Reports say that the Metropolitan Police Department has identified the suspect through the fingerprints stuck on the paper with the code written on it. His name is Hades Sabara, a serial murderer on the run.

"It seems we don't need Mr. Detective much anymore..." Haihara Ai turned around and glanced at Feng Yuan.

"On the contrary, things have become more urgent..."

"ah?"

"This guy probably left his fingerprints on purpose, which means he was prepared to be caught... and he wouldn't leave the police too much time to find him..."

"You mean he's going to do it soon?"

"Well, it's very possible. We have to speed up the process... Can you help me check his information first?"

"good."

Haihara Ai's fingers were tapping on the keyboard, and Hades' information was quickly pulled up. Because he was a wanted criminal who had committed many incidents, there was a lot of information about him on the Internet.

Feng Yuan read while reading:

"He used to be an ordinary company employee. After his mother became seriously ill, in order to raise the cost of surgery, he invested the money he borrowed from acquaintances...in stocks and gambling and lost it all.

As a result, his mother failed to undergo the operation and died in July last year... He was heavily in debt, and his only relative had passed away. Hades's entire person changed and he began a criminal career..."

Gambling is really harmful.

"He first called all the acquaintances who were pestering him to pay back the money to his home, brutally murdered them, and then escaped... A week later, he suddenly appeared at the home of a friend who advised him to invest in stocks, killed his entire family, and dug out everyone's hearts. …”

"Because his mother died of a heart attack?"

"Well, it should be..." Maplehara replied, "Then he blew up the hospital that refused to perform surgery on his mother, causing countless casualties... The bomb was probably provided by a woman named Hestia. The veteran and bomb expert I met while on the run...

It was she who provided help to Hades' revenge plan... It is also written here that the woman blew herself up after the police found her hiding place a few days ago... It is said that she was blown to pieces..."

"The reason why I haven't been caught," Feng Yuan finished, "is because I kept having plastic surgery during my escape..."

"Just like us." Huihara Ai said.

"Hey, we are in disguise. By the way, Haiyuan, can you help me find his gambling information from that time? Judging from his actions, his revenge goal is very clear, maybe the gambling company will also be His goal..."

Haibara Ai searched, "Well... his mother passed away in July last year, and he lost a certain game in betting a month ago... There is no information about the betting company in it... It seems to go -"

"Which game?"

"I didn't say...but since I have time, I can check..."

Haibara Ai listed all the competitions held in June last year, and Maplehara noticed one of them at a glance.

"Probably last year's French tennis tournament."

Seeing that Haibara Ai was a little puzzled, Fengyuan continued to explain, "I also thought of the surname Glass...the Queen of Grass Minerva Glass, that was the only final she lost in recent years..."

The man who sent the letter to Conan was also named Glass. According to the doctor, he was Minerva's younger brother.

"So you think he's going to target Glass?"

"Not necessarily... but if the Queen of Grass wins all the time, investing money will be like a sure profit... but she lost one game at that time..."

Feng Yuan continued, "So it's normal for people who lose gambling to feel very angry?"

The finals are tomorrow. If you start early, you might alert the enemy, but there is also a competition today. Just in case, Maplehara still told Kudo Yusaku. After all, he is also familiar with the Metropolitan Police Department.

It was also on the phone that he learned that the code in the second Hades explosion was solved by Kudo Yusaku.

"Next, let's go and unlock the code, shall we?" Fengyuan said.

Naturally, Haihara Ai would not refuse.

She put on the hat she always wore when she was in Rice Flower, and then took Feng Yuan's tracking glasses and put them on.

Feng Principle gave full play to his sensory advantages, and when there was no one in the corridor, the two of them slipped out together.

After breakfast, they followed the coded order and took a taxi directly to the station in the "Elephant and Castle" area, preparing to start investigating clues from here.

Hui Yuan Ai looked at the passers-by. On a weekday morning, there was a lot of traffic here, "What next? Where to look for it now?"

"Well..." Fengyuan looked around, then walked to one side, "There."

So fast…

Hui Yuan Ai was stunned for a moment and followed.

She noticed that there was a middle-aged man wearing glasses in the direction of Fengyuan. He was holding a suitcase with "Identity" written in conspicuous fonts on the suitcase.

"A case of Identity...Identity case."

Hui Yuan Ai read softly.

"That's the case of the missing groom..." Fengyuan responded softly, came to the man, raised his head and asked him, "Uncle, is this suitcase yours?"

"Ah, no..."

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, "Someone gave me money and let me dress up like this and hang out here all day long... It just started... This empty box and these clothes were given to me by that person..."

"Then did you notice that person's appearance?" Hui Yuan Ai asked.

"No, he's wearing a hat and a mask..."

"Then can you roll up the knees of your pants so we can have a look?" Fengyuan asked.

"ah?"

"Because that's what that person's purpose is. Please, uncle."

The request of a cute and polite child is always hard to refuse, especially when he has to pay for something. This person just hesitated a little and used his free hand to lift up the knee of his left pants, " Is it this way?”

"Well, yes!" Fengyuan looked at the exposed letter U, "Thank you, uncle!"

After successfully finding the clue, Fengyuan turned around and left. Haibara Ai was a little curious, "Why is it the knee part of the pants?"

"It's also a line from Sherlock Holmes..."

Fengyuan explained as he walked, "The other party gave him a suitcase and clothes. Since the suitcase hinted at the chapter name of the story, there must be a message left on the clothes..."

"clothing…"

Huiyuan Ai thought for a moment and showed a surprised look.

"When I look at women, I first pay attention to the cuffs. If it's a man, it's better to look at the knees of the pants..."

Maplehara read the lines from Sherlock Holmes, "Then next... London City Hall."
