Since Tan Baima couldn't come over for the time being, Jiang Cheng quickly thought of another person.

Ah Gan.

Yes, both A-gan and Liu Lian-er are fans of Sherlock Holmes. If they were them, they would definitely be able to find clues that he couldn't see.

Thinking of this, Jiang Cheng immediately called.

Here, Gan Sadaharu and Liu Lianer still want to try to solve this thought-provoking code during the weekend. After all, they have come to the hometown of Sherlock Holmes. As novel fans, if they can solve the puzzle like Sherlock Holmes, they will It will be a good experience.

For the inspiration of solving the mystery, Gan Zhenzhi also borrowed the detective book from the reading room of the hotel.

But as soon as he came out of the reading room, he saw two missed calls from a minute ago on his phone.

Ah Cheng?

Gan Zhenzhi called back.

"Sorry Ah Cheng, I was in the reading room just now, what do you want?"

Jiang Cheng briefly explained the situation to him.

Hearing Ah Cheng unlock the first sentence of the code, his glasses flashed, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he suddenly said.

"I see, Big Ben, I'll go there with Lian Er right away."

It's just that when he found Liu Lian Er, other people happened to be there too.

Yukimura was slightly taken aback.

"You mean Ah Cheng unlocked the code?"

Bu Er opened his mouth after deep thought.

"It turns out that the bell refers to the Elizabeth Tower. Since the murderer passed the card around, the clue should indeed be connected with famous things in London."

Liu Lian-er put away the notebook.

"It's not too late, doctor, let's go check it out right away."

"makes sense."

But before leaving, Qian Zhenzhi had no choice but to ask Bu Er to keep the book he had just borrowed for a while.

After seeing them leave, Yukimura looked through the Sherlock Holmes detective anthology, put his chin on one hand and smiled.

"No two, I thought you would go together."

"Well, but it shouldn't be a problem if there is A Cheng, then I'd better read Sherlock Holmes novels again in the lounge, maybe there will be new discoveries." Fuji smiled and poured a glass for Yukimura as he spoke. black tea.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Atobe also came to the lounge.

Atobe looked at the second-hand detective collection.

"Huh? Still thinking about that inexplicable code?"

"I just want to read it again, but about the code, Ah Cheng unlocked the first sentence."

"Huh? Jiangcheng is unlocked?"

"Ah Cheng said that the first sentence refers to Big Ben."

Suddenly the trace department.

It was Yukimura who thought for a moment before continuing.

"Since the first sentence is related to buildings, is the following code also related to buildings like Big Ben?"

I have to say that Yukimura provided ideas for everyone.

Fuji took out the picture of the password card again, he said while resting his chin on his head.

"The second sentence mentions castles. I feel that castles should be very common in London, but if it is architecture, then the boiled eggs in the third sentence are not suitable. After all, there will be no buildings like eggs. "

It's just that I didn't expect that Bu Er's voice had just finished speaking, and he was suddenly picked up.

"There is."

It turned out to be Akashi Seijuro, who came and sat down with black tea just like Atobe.

Facing Kamiyukimura and Fuji's questioning eyes, Akashi continued to speak.

"I've been to the city hall before, and it happens to be an egg-shaped building."

Saying that, Akashi looked at Atobe.

"Actually, this kind of thing can't be better than the Ministry of History. He has been studying here in England since he was a child, so he must be very familiar with it."

Atobe took a sip of black tea without denying it.

"It is true that the City Hall is an egg-shaped building. By the way, the Gherkin, which is opposite the City Hall and across the Thames, is one of London's landmark buildings, also known as the Gherkin."

Buer opened his eyes in astonishment for a moment.

Is there really such a building?

Atobe looked at the code and continued.

"I haven't thought of the castle mentioned in the second sentence, but there is a cake mentioned in the fifth sentence, St. Brad's Church, which is shaped like a wedding cake. These are the only ones I can think of. As for the last sentence , light blue flowers, nothing impressive."

On the other side, Gan, Liu, and Ya Jiudou, who they contacted, arrived at Big Ben and Jiangcheng at the fastest speed.

As staff members, I have to say that not only do they have similarities in data collection, but even the books they like to read are similar.

Seeing them coming, Jiang Cheng briefly told everyone what he thought of, hoping to find some clues that he couldn't see.

The three looked around.

Gan Zhenzhi couldn't help but speak.

"Professor, is there a similar description in the novel?"

Liu Lianer took a closer look at the surrounding environment. There were many tourists around Big Ben, but there seemed to be nothing worth noting.

At this time, the white horse called Lambert, but there were too many tourists under the tower and it was noisy, so he was going to go to the bridge connected to Big Ben to answer the phone.

Just as he spoke to the white horse, a little boy beside him complained to his companion in a sad tone.

"My keys fell in, why is there no cover for this drain!"

"Hey, there seems to be some words... Tracy, do you know it?"

"Let me see, is it the meaning of the... uncanny valley? It's so strange."

Because Lambert was listening to the little boy, he didn't respond to Baima's words for a while.

"Hello? Green, are you still listening?" Baima Tan wondered why he suddenly stopped making a sound. Is the signal bad?

Lambert came back to his senses with an apologetic tone.

"Sorry, the little boy next to me just listened when he was in trouble. It seems that the cover of the drain on the bridge here has been taken away, causing his key to fall in."

Detective Baima cares a little about what he said, wait? !

"Green, look to see if there is anything else beside that drain!"

Although Lambert didn't understand, he still took two steps to the little boy, and in the next second he found the words "Uncanny Valley".

"There are words, it says uncanny valley."

Is that really the case?

Detective White Horse seems to understand why the criminal said "ask Sherlock Holmes if you have no idea", which turned out to be the title of the story in the detective collection.

But in the case of Uncanny Valley, it is a long story. To find clues from such a length, Baima Tan couldn't think of anything for a while.

"You wait for me over there, I'll go right away."

He decided to come over and take a look.

After Lambert hung up the phone, he waved to several people in Jiangcheng.

Liu Lianer squatted at the drain, and when they saw the words, the three of them suddenly realized.

Yajiudou frowned slightly.

"The uncanny valley is a long story, but is there a description of the bridge?"

Liu Lian Er shook her head.

"Maybe it doesn't have to be a bridge. Rivers, water, and passing boats are all possible. Doctor, have you thought of anything related to these?"

"Of course not, professor. I haven't memorized the whole novel. I haven't reviewed the case for a long time. It's really unexpected."

Just as they were thinking, Jiang Cheng had already pulled out his mobile phone, and he downloaded the electronic version of the novel in advance, so now is the time to use technology.

Jiangcheng found the story of Uncanny Valley, and entered the words such as bridge, water, and river guessed by everyone to start searching the whole story.

Soon, the answer he wanted was found.

There were several results above, but Jiang Cheng felt that this sentence was the most likely.

[If something disappears by the water's edge, then there is no doubt that something must have sunk in it. 】

This novel word, combined with what Jiangcheng saw, the disappearing thing, seems to refer to the cover of the drain, did it sink into the water?

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng took a few steps forward, and soon found that there seemed to be strings tied to the bridge pillars.

He pulled along the string, and sure enough, he pulled something out of the river!

"I found it!"

Apparently it was the missing lid, with the letter T still engraved on it.

When everyone sees the letters, it can be considered that they have solved the first code, and then they will have a direction.

Lambert asked in surprise.

"Jiang, how did you know there was something in the river?!"

Jiang Cheng shook his phone and smiled.

"Of course it's the use of technology. I think that even Sherlock Holmes fans rarely remember all the details of each story, so I combined the keywords mentioned by Liu and searched."

As he spoke, he read the passage of the novel he saw to everyone.

"It's really you!" Lambert gave him a thumbs up.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and after Jiang Cheng solved the first code, his confidence doubled, which showed that his judgment was correct, and the ringing of the bell did refer to Big Ben.

While they were talking, there was a phone call from Buer.

"Acheng, we have solved some codes here, so I wanted to tell you about it."

"Eh? Did you untie it too?"

"Also? Have you already unlocked it, Ah Cheng?"

Speaking of this, Jiang Cheng didn't hide it, he briefly mentioned the fact that he found the letter T.

Buer smiled slightly.

"Sure enough, then I think the part we solved must be helpful to Ah Cheng."

Soon he told Jiang Cheng the locations and names of the buildings mentioned by Atobe.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng looked very excited.

"No, they found out the rest of the places! Let's go there now."

"The white horse is coming soon, why don't we go together."

Jiang Cheng nodded, not in a hurry, they now have a clue, they just need to go over to find relevant clues one after another.

Now that the mystery of Big Ben was revealed, Jiang Cheng put back the cover of the drain.

After a while, Tan Baima rushed over, and they set off for the city hall mentioned by Bu Er.

On the way, Jiang Cheng also exchanged information with Tan Baima.

Detective Baima mentioned that he just got the news from the police station.

"The criminal's fingerprints have been tested."

Jiang Cheng asked.

"Is there any motive for finding out the criminal?"

This is not yet available, but the identity of that person was provided by the police.

"The suspect's name is Amanda Hill, but the information found shows that he is the son of Amanda Hughes, a well-known female capitalist in the United States."

Jiang Cheng pondered, since he is such a rich person, what would be his motivation?

The author has something to say: mentioned in this chapter

[If something disappears by the water's edge, then there is no doubt that something must have sunk in it. 】

Quoted from the long story Uncanny Valley in Sherlock Holmes, although it is a line translated from the original English version, it is still marked.
