【Conan】I just want to survive but I am forced to join the main plot

Kuroba Kaito glanced at the surrounding bushes and found seven or eight small white dolls at random. He was sure that there must be more where he didn't see them.

Moreover, these dolls are exquisitely made. If children see them, they will definitely pick them up.

"Are you sure nothing will go wrong with such a large-scale poisoning?"

Wakagi Ryo patted Kuroba Kaito's shoulder and calmed the pigeon that was about to explode.

"Don't worry. Although the powder inside is somewhat contagious, it is definitely not fatal. The symptoms are similar to cholinergic urticaria. Even if you don't go to the hospital, it will heal on its own in three to five days."

"The statuettes of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are mostly hints, not really about the end of the world."

Wakagi Ryo just thought that Hades Sabara's plan for the Apocalypse was very thoughtful. When it comes to the Apocalypse or Revelation, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are an unavoidable topic.

You have a great idea, now it's mine!

Hearing this assurance, Kuroba Kaito felt relieved. Out of some humanitarian concern, he threw all the knight dolls he could find within his sight into the trash can.

After dealing with the doll, Kuroba Kaito carried the coffee bag and headed towards the meeting place.

"Here, coffee."

The thoughtful little pigeon specially bought portions for Xiaolan and Kudo.

Wakaki Ryo took the ripped-off head of the knight doll from Xiaolan's hand and pretended to think for a while. With his innocent look, there was no sign of the mastermind behind it.

Mao Lilan: "So, maybe the places indicated by the code are all hidden with these letters. If we connect these letters together, we can form the criminal's target or something?"

Xiaolan held the coffee handed to her by Kuroba Kaito and felt the joy of reasoning for the first time.

So actually, it’s not like I can’t help at all, right?

Kudo Shinichi nodded, but before he could say anything, the two temporary teammates next to him started to praise him.

"Your analysis is correct, Ms. Maori. It seems that you are very talented in reasoning."

"Indeed, thanks to Lansang, we are making pretty good progress."

Encouraged, Xiaolan continued to analyze, "The code says to swallow the pickled cucumber in one gulp, so the next building should be long and thin and a little round like a pickled cucumber...ah, look at that!"

Xiaolan exclaimed as she spoke, pointing to a building in the distance that fit the description perfectly.

"As expected of Ms. Maori, so let's hurry up and take a look. Maybe we can find the next clue soon."

"Let's go, let's go~ Today we are the famous detective Xiaolan~"

Mao Lilan had never experienced such a round of praise before, and she was immediately dizzy and was dragged to the next target by Kuroba Kaito and Wakagi Ryo, leaving Kudo Shinichi behind.

Kudo Shinichi:? ? ?

Are you guys here to help solve the case, or are you here to steal my girl? !

"Get your hands off me, you two bastards!"

--------------

Along the way, Kudo Shinichi glared at Wakaki Ryo and held Xiaolan's hand tightly, interlocking their fingers. He was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, his girlfriend would be abducted by the two men next to him.

Mao Lilan: "By the way, I just saw Hades's crimes in the newspaper. Why hasn't he been arrested yet?"

Hades Sabara, the prisoner in the London chapter, was originally a serious and down-to-earth office worker. Because his mother was seriously ill, in order to raise medical expenses, he borrowed money from acquaintances everywhere, and invested the money in stocks and gambling, but finally lost everything.

Because there was not enough money for surgery, his mother eventually died in July this year.

After that, Hades started committing crimes one after another. He killed those who had been forcing them to pay back the money and those who had suggested that he buy stocks. After that, he blew up the hospitals that refused to operate on his mother.

Causing a large number of casualties.

Kuroba Kaito: "It is said that because of this, Hades and his accomplices continued to undergo plastic surgery while on the run."

At this time, Kudo Shinichi finally found an opportunity to interrupt.

"In short, it's not surprising that this guy committed any crime. Perhaps what he hates is Britain itself, which allows gambling to exist and allows anything to be bet on."

"arrive."

The group stopped next to the Gherkin building, one of London's landmark buildings.

There was no need for several people to look for it deliberately, as Mao Lilan found a marker pen full of scratches at the edge of the flower bed.

The pen body says Dancing Men.

Dancing little people.

"Another title from a Sherlock Holmes collection. This prisoner is quite familiar with the Sherlock Holmes series."

Kuroba Kaito picked up the marker and complained subconsciously.

Wakagi Ryo made a sarcastic remark, "Tsk, those who like Sherlock Holmes are not bad people, don't you think so, Kudo-kun~"

Kudo Shinichi:......

"That's enough!"

He gritted his teeth and took the marker from Kuroba Kaito's hand, pulled out the caps at both ends and put them together. After rotating it to a certain angle, the messy marks on the two sides of the pen caps formed a capital letter N.

Xiaolan:!

"This is……"

"You can skip all the reasoning process and just explain the starting point and the conclusion. Although this method seems simple and crude, it is enough to achieve amazing results."

After being ridiculed by Wakagi Ryo, Kudo Shinichi looked a little unhappy, but he still subconsciously explained it in detail to Xiaolan.

"That's what Sherlock Holmes said in The Dancing Little Man."

Mao Lilan suddenly understood.

"Then the puzzle mentions the sound of bells twice. There should be similar clues near Big Ben, right?"

“You’ll find out if you go and see it.”

Kudo Shinichi glared at Wakaki Ryo and Kuroba Kaito with eyes that had no killing power. These two guys said they were here to help solve the case, but actually they were just here to make things difficult for him!

Amid Kudo Shinichi's resentment that was almost materializing, the group indeed found a white arrow in front of Big Ben. Following the arrow, they came to the bridge connected to Big Ben.

For some reason, the bridge was full of people pointing at the Thames below.

Kudo Shinichi took a quick glance at the lake and felt vaguely that something was wrong, but when he saw that there were no obvious protrusions in the calm water, he temporarily suppressed this strange feeling in his heart.

Just as several people were trying to find out whether there were any clues related to Sherlock Holmes on the bridge, Ruomu Liang suddenly felt his feet go empty and he staggered forward.

Kuroba Kaito beside him subconsciously reached out to help, but then realized who he was helping and froze there.

Ruomu Liang:......

I swear with my 5.0 vision in both eyes that there was absolutely no such hole on the bridge when I stepped on it just now! As a script team, he certainly knew that there was an uncovered drain on the bridge. How could he be so careless as to trip so easily!

-80 Has it evolved to the point where it can even teleport across holes on the ground?

"This is it!"

Xiaolan's voice came from behind Ruomu Liang. She looked down at Ruomu Liang's feet. On the drain that almost tripped Ruomu Liang, it was written "thevalleyoffear".

Uncanny valley.

A long story from the Sherlock Holmes collection.

Kudo Shinichi rushed over after hearing the noise and scratched his hair with a headache. As the Uncanny Valley was a long story, he couldn't think of whether the story mentioned the existence of the bridge.

"If something heavy disappears at the water's edge, there must be something sinking in the water, no doubt about it."

Wakamu Ryo pointed his finger at the street lamp just above the drain. Looking closely, he saw an inconspicuous rope wrapped around the bottom of the street lamp, and the other end of the rope disappeared into the river under the bridge.

Kuroba Kaito immediately grabbed the rope and pulled it upwards, and the other end of the rope sank into the river, and it turned out to be the disappeared cover of the drain.

In the corner of the lid, there is a capital letter A engraved.

Wakagi Ryo blinked. Unfortunately, it was two days ago that Akai Mari fell into the river. Now she had climbed ashore with difficulty and successfully reunited with Sera Masumi who was settled by Akai Shuichi.

Otherwise, it would be so much fun if Douzi fished out a wet little blonde girl from the river.

"Hi, we meet again."

Just when Wakagi Ryo was persecuting Akai Mari in his mind, a blonde woman wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap appeared nearby, holding the hand of Apollo, whom they had just met yesterday, and waved in the direction of Xiaolan.

The Queen of the Grassland, Minerba Glass, walked closer, looked at the group of one woman and three men in front of her, paused, and blurted out subconsciously.

"Wait, you looked so distressed yesterday, was it because you had three boyfriends?"
