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

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

As soon as Minerva Glass said this, the CPU of everyone present, except Wakagi Ryo, froze for a moment.

"But why do you have three identical boyfriends?"

The corner of Kudo Shinichi's mouth twitched, and he was about to open his mouth to declare his status, but he suddenly felt a chill on his face, and the mask he had been wearing disappeared.

Wakagi Ryo was holding a mask-shaped voice changer and raised his eyebrows at Kudo Shinichi with a smile.

If you have the ability, then do it.

Kudo Shinichi:......

It’s hard, the fist is hard!

Mao Lilan's cheeks turned red, she waved her hands desperately, and began to explain stutteringly, and she accidentally bit her tongue out of nervousness.

After finally explaining the relationship between herself and Kudo Shinichi and others, Xiaolan wiped the sweat from her forehead and turned around to introduce Mineva to Wakaki Ryo and others.

"Sorry, I misunderstood."

Minerva apologized to Xiaolan and Kudo Shinichi embarrassedly.

They met last night near the hotel where Lady Diana held a banquet. Because Mao Lilan looked so lonely when she got out of the taxi holding a bottle of mineral water, Minerva couldn't help but approach her and talk to her.

"Um, Ms. Minerva, is it okay for you to come out at this time? I remember the women's singles final is tomorrow."

Minerva smiled confidently, "It doesn't matter. Training all the time may not necessarily produce good results. I came out to get some fresh air. No matter what, I will definitely win tomorrow's game."

Because Minerva needed to prepare for tomorrow's game, and Shinichi and Xiaolan also needed to continue to solve the puzzle left by Hades, the two sides just chatted briefly and then said goodbye to each other.

"Wait a moment."

Just when the makeshift crime-solving team was about to set off again, Kuroba Kaito looked at his palms and showed the position of his palms hesitantly.

He had just used the rope to pull up the drain cover that had sunk into the water, and inevitably got some river water on his hands.

“Why is the water of the Thames red?”

Kudo Shinichi took a look at the water marks on Touzi's palm, rushed to the bridge, looked carefully at the calm lake, and finally figured out why he had that strange feeling in his heart at the beginning.

As far as the eye can see, the entire Thames River is glowing red.

He was so focused on finding clues that he naturally overlooked this point - after all, in the setting sun, the light reflected from the water surface was slightly reddish, which was normal.

"May I ask how is this going?"

Kudo Shinichi snatched the mask back, then grabbed a passerby and asked him in English.

The uncle who was stopped by Kudo Shinichi shrugged and said, "Who knows, maybe there was a leak in a factory somewhere, causing industrial raw materials to pollute the Thames, or maybe there was some strange algae from outside.

The river water has only started to turn red in the past two days. I wonder when the government will come to deal with it. The Thames is our mother river!"

Kudo Shinichi thanked him, let the uncle leave, and looked at the river in deep thought.

Could the river water that had inexplicably turned red in the past two days be related to Hades' "mass killing plan"? After all, poisoning is indeed a good choice for large-scale indiscriminate killing.

"It shouldn't be possible."

Wakagi Ryo predicted Kudo Shinichi's thoughts and gave a direct negative answer.

How could he not know why the water turned red?

"It has been two days since the river turned red, but at least so far there has been no news of large-scale poisoning in London. Don't forget that the Thames water supply system is connected to at least 90 waterworks."

indeed.

The tension in Kudo Shinichi's heart suddenly relaxed, but out of some strange intuition, he still called Dr. Agasa and asked him to see if he could take some water samples for testing.

As for equipment and such, I believe Dr.’s magical circle of friends will have a solution.

Wakagi Ryo took out a handkerchief and asked Douzi to wipe his hands.

"Okay, let's prioritize. Let's first solve Hades' puzzle."

“Now we have found the corresponding letters for the bells mentioned in the first and sixth sentences, the boiled eggs mentioned in the third sentence, and the pickled cucumbers mentioned in the fourth sentence.

The remaining two sentences are the castle, the cake, and the last sentence, the double swords piercing the white back, which have not yet been cracked. "

Xiaolan suddenly raised her hand and looked at Ruomu Liang.

"That cake-like building, I might know where it is."

She took out her notebook and turned to one of the pages. "As for the cake, could it be the Church of the Holy Bride? It is said that the wedding cake was designed based on this church."

Wakagi Ryo took a look at the densely packed travel guides on Mao Lilan's notebook and said in a long tone: "Oh~ London is the most suitable place for couples to check in and sightsee~"

Kuroba Kaito: "Oh~ A holy place for lovers~"

Mao Lilan slammed the notebook shut with a bang, her cheeks flushed and her eyes staring at the ground.

"Anyway, let's go here and take a look first, just in case there are any clues!"

Kudo Shinichi touched the mask on his face a little at a loss, and his cheeks were equally red under the mask.

"Well, then, let's go!"

After Wakagi Ryo and Kuroba Kaito walked some distance away, Kudo Shinichi secretly held Xiaolan's hand and asked hesitantly.

"You, you like this kind of church."

Xiaolan: “Huh?”

Kudo Shinichi's eyes wandered, "If you like, then we can... get married..."

"Ahem, anyway, let's solve the case first."

If a bloody incident really happens in London, not to mention the church, I'm afraid that Xiaolan will have psychological trauma whenever she hears the city of London.

Unlike the original plot, because the temporary antidote that Kudo Shinichi took was enough to last for about a week, there was naturally no plot where Haibara Ai asked the Kudo couple to bring a spare antidote to London to save the situation just in case.

However, even without Kudo Yukiko's hint, with the help of the passive attribute of the European Orchid, Wakamu Ryo and his group quickly found a pink piece of paper wrapped in plastic film in the gap of the church flower bed.

On the piece of paper was handwritten "AScandalinBohemia", a scandal in Bohemia.

Kudo Shinichi was in an excited state for some reason, and his brain worked extremely quickly at this time. He immediately reacted and figured out how to solve the puzzle.

He bought a bottle of water from a nearby shop, removed the pink paper from the plastic film, and wet it with water.

The handwritten letters on the note melted almost the moment they came into contact with water, leaving only a capital S on the wet pink paper.

Wakamu Ryo was standing not far away, holding another identical pink piece of paper in his hand, raising it towards the church.

Kuroba Kaito:?

"Hasn't the little detective over there already solved this mystery? Can we find any other clues by looking into the sunlight?"

Ruomu Liang smiled, put down the paper in his hand and shook his head.

"That's not true."

"Just put a copy of 'A Scandal in Bohemia' on the church door, which is full of allusions and irony."

"I kind of appreciate his sense of humor."
