"There are only two left."

Kudo Shinichi took another excited look at the puzzle. "A wizard with a long nose, the long nose should refer to an elephant. This puzzle also mentions a castle. I remember there is an Elephant Castle in London."

Xiaolan looked at the spirited Kudo Shinichi and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Wakagi Ryo and Kuroba Kaito followed the young couple slowly towards the Elephant and Castle station, and took out their mobile phones to check the local news in London.

Kudo Shinichi, who performed exceptionally well today, set his sights on a middle-aged man carrying a brown suitcase almost as soon as he arrived at the station.

There is a handwritten Identity on the side of the suitcase.

"The groom's disappearance?"

Following their intuition, the team quickly found the letter U on the inside of the uncle's trouser knee.

Another puzzle was solved. Kuroba Kaito, who had been playing a supporting role for a long time, touched his nose and felt that it was time for him to play a role.

"I did guess a little about the last riddle."

"Roissen is a ceramic brand. There is only one store in London. Their logo is two crossed swords on a white background."

His mother, who loved collecting all kinds of luxury items, had a set of such tea sets. She used this set to make scented tea for him when he was a child.

Wakagi Ryo glanced at Kuroba Kaito, whose luck was obviously not low. He didn't expect that without Professor Agasa's reminder, the last link was actually made up by the little pigeon.

"So, what is this?"

Xiaolan was holding a small pendant that she got from the Roissen clerk. It looked like a crudely made wind chime, with different English letters on the bottom bell. The bell was tied with colorful ropes. There was a dirty loop at the top of the rope with "Astudy of scarlet" written on it.

Kudo Shinichi: "It was Conan Doyle's first novel that brought Sherlock Holmes to life, A Study in Scarlet."

"Holmes said..."

There was no need for Kudo Shinichi to say anything now. Xiaolan intuitively chose the red one from all the ropes. On the bell below the rope was the letter R.

"Okay, okay, I get it." Xiaolan couldn't help but complain, but with a gentle smile on her face, she held the bell in her hand, cleared her throat, and imitated Kudo Shinichi's tone and said:

"Ahem, Holmes once said that in the colorless ball of thread called life, there is a bloody red thread called murder. Our job is to solve the mystery and separate the red thread...

You've mentioned it so many times, and I've almost memorized everything in it even though I haven't read Sherlock Holmes. "

Kudo Shinichi coughed twice awkwardly and forced himself to change the subject.

"Anyway, now all the puzzles have been solved, and the letters we got are A, U, T, N, S, A, and R. If we combine them..."

Wakagi Ryo: "A should only need one."

Kuroba Kaito: "Yeah, I think so too. It should be SATURN, which is Saturn."

Xiaolan:?

"Saturn? If it's Saturday, it's Saturday? Oh, no, this is London, not Neon."

Kudo Shinichi shook his head. "The word SATURN comes from the Roman god of agriculture, which evolved from SATURNUS. Translated into English, it means Saturday. It is indeed Saturday."

Wakagi Ryo continued with a smile, "So it's tomorrow."

"Considering that the criminal is planning to do something big again, where can a large number of citizens gather tomorrow?"

Kuroba Kaito: "The Wimbledon women's singles final?!"

Douzi raised his voice and his mind suddenly changed.

"Wait, I remember the news said that Hades had an accomplice who was very good at making bombs. Those hospitals that were bombed seemed to be the work of this accomplice."

"Could it be..."

Wakagi Ryo took the map of London from Kuroba Kaito, circled the places mentioned in the code one by one, and connected them.

"Big Ben is mentioned twice in the riddle, so... does it look like a tennis racket?"

After saying that, Wakagi Ryo patted Kuroba Kaito on the shoulder and comforted him: "Be more confident, you are right."

Little Pigeon:!!!

British Museum entrance

Kogoro Mori looked at the very long cordon and was a little confused.

"Is this some kind of emergency construction going on? Not only are they blocking it off, they've also built such a high construction shed."

Next to him, Dr. Agasa was holding a bag of French fries with a lot of ketchup on them. Taking advantage of the fact that Haibara Ai did not come out with them, the doctor had been eating to his heart's content these days.

Dr. Agasa was chewing French fries. After hearing Kogoro Mori's question, he replied vaguely, "I don't know."

Kogoro Mori's expression became even more resentful.

His daughter was kidnapped by a detective boy right under his nose. The old father was alone in London and his English was not very good. He could only temporarily form a duo of empty-nesters with the doctor. He thought that at least they could visit iconic places like museums so that the trip to London would not be in vain.

Unexpectedly, the museum closed its doors to visitors!

Unwilling to give up, Kogoro Mouri grabbed the security guard patrolling the outermost area and asked him the reason for the retreat in halting English.

The security guard scratched his arm and sent Kogoro Mori away with the very official and perfunctory excuse of "routine maintenance".

Maori Kogoro:……

He frowned, took out a cigarette, lit it, and looked at the security guard's back thoughtfully.

In just a few minutes, the other party scratched my arm at least three times.

Out of some detective intuition, he simply stopped by the roadside and observed the people coming and going.

There are quite a few people like the security guard who scratch their bodies from time to time. There was an old man who looked quite irritable. He scratched his arm until it bled. He grimaced in pain but still did not stop.

"Hello, Doc."

"what?"

Dr. Agasa temporarily stopped eating, raised his head with ketchup all over his beard and looked at Kogoro Mouri.

"Is there any type of flu or other infectious disease that makes people itch all over?"

Maori Kogoro stretched out his hand and pointed at the grumpy old man. Although this situation is more like an allergy, the probability of people of different genders and ages having the same reaction to the same allergen at about the same time is too low.

Dr. Agasa wiped the ketchup from the corner of his mouth and shook his head a little confused.

At this moment, the doctor received a call from Kudo Shinichi. The moment he opened the screen, Dr. Agasa's heart suddenly tightened, thinking that there was something wrong with the temporary antidote, causing Shinichi to transform in public.

After listening to the phone call, the doctor finally breathed a sigh of relief and then took a big bite of French fries to calm himself down.

"What happened to that detective boy?"

Kogoro Mouri was observing another passerby who kept scratching himself as he walked past him, and his expression became visibly serious.

"Don't tell me that bastard is involved in another case. I can't stop him if he wants to solve the case himself. But if he dares to put Xiaolan in danger, I won't let him off!"

Dr. Agasa wiped his beard with a handkerchief and answered with a smile.

"It's okay, it's okay. Shinichi accidentally discovered that the water of the Thames was red, so he asked me to take a sample and study it when I have time."

The river turns red?

Kogoro Mouri paused while smoking, feeling that the scene looked familiar.
