The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Qin Zhibo knew that Kuroba Kaito had shouted "Baker Street" loudly just now so that he could hear their group's next destination.

In this way, even if you are not following Conan and his party, you can still take a taxi directly to reduce the risk of exposure.

Speaking of the most famous attraction on Baker Street, it is the Sherlock Holmes Museum, a holy place in the eyes of Sherlock fans all over the world.

As for the reason why Kuroba Kaito disguised himself as Kudo Shinichi and mingled among Conan and others, Qin Zhibo also overheard it just now through the "Detective's Bug".

In short, Conan got Kuroba Kaito's passport and threatened him to pretend to be Kudo Shinichi to deal with Maori Ran.

But Conan's real purpose is to fish him out through Kuroba Kaito beside him.

Qin Zhibo thought for a moment, and although Kuroba Kaito is now kept as a "hostage" by Conan, there is actually no danger.

With his skills as Phantom Thief Kidd, he could steal back a mere passport sooner or later.

Therefore, there is no need to change my original plan, so I should contact Mary first.

After the matter on his side is over, even if Conan, Kuroba Kaito and his party leave Baker Street, he can still find their location through the Finding Object Spell.

…

After watching Conan and his group get into a taxi and leave, Qin Zhibo also took a taxi and went straight to central London.

In the car, Qin Zhibo introduced his tourist destination to the driver as London City Hall, hoping to recommend a hotel that could see the Thames River and not be too expensive.

The driver agreed and finally drove him to a hotel apartment.

Although the location of this hotel is a little more slanted than a Hilton or something, and the configuration is slightly worse, the advantage is that the price is only 1/3 of a big hotel.

After Qin Zhibo paid the fare and tip, he quickly checked in at the hotel with his and Kuroba Kaito's suitcases.

Since he didn't know when Kuroba Kaito would be able to escape Conan's control, he opened a single room today.

Qin Zhibo took a short rest in the hotel, looked at Westminster Bridge outside the window, and then went downstairs to call Mary.

Entering the red phone booth on the roadside, he took out the number given by Yasuharu Haneda from his wallet and pressed the numbers one by one until he pressed the entire series of numbers.

beep--

beep--

…

After waiting for more than ten seconds, the other party picked up the phone.

"Who is that?"

The speaker was a woman and her voice was deep.

Qin Zhibo lowered his voice and replied in the same deep voice: "Mary, I am Vince Qin."

"..."

The woman on the other side of the phone was silent for a long time before she asked back in Japanese: "What's the matter?"

Qin Zhibo frowned slightly. If it was Mary on the other side of the phone, facing a friend from many years ago, this reaction would be too cold, and it didn't sound like she wanted to communicate in depth at all.

Sure enough, as Haneda Yasuharu said, Mary is very vigilant now.

Qin Zhibo also replied in Japanese: "I am in London now. If it is convenient, we can meet. I have something to tell you..."

"whats the matter?"

"It's about your son, Akai Shuichi."

"..."

There was silence on the other side of the phone again.

A few seconds later, a woman's voice came from the phone again, "Where are you now?"

Qin Zhibo replied: "A place where you can see Big Ben."

"Meet in front of the Sherlock Holmes statue on Baker Street in half an hour."

After saying that, the phone was hung up.

Qin Zhibo put the microphone back and immediately opened the [Navigator] to check.

Baker Street is 3.5 kilometers away from my current location in a straight line. If there is no traffic jam, you can get there quickly by taking a taxi.

But the problem is that Mary couldn't have chosen a better place, why should she go to Baker Street?

Conan and his party are probably still sightseeing in Baker Street and won't leave for a while.

Although he could put on the human skin mask he had prepared before, he was worried that Mary would be suspicious of this move.

Qin Zhibo thought for a while and could only run to the store next to the hotel, buy a black mask to cover his face, and then get a British-style deerstalker hat to wear on his head.

There is no need to change clothes, because I have prepared two sets of clothes for this trip to London, one of which is not the brown windbreaker suit that I usually wear.

That's the one I'm currently wearing.

After a simple disguise, Qin Zhibo got into a taxi heading to Baker Street.

…

20 minutes later, Qin Zhibo arrived at Baker Street.

At the T-shaped intersection at the end of Baker Street, there is a statue of Sherlock Holmes with a pipe in his mouth.

Qin Zhibo took advantage of the flow of tourists and looked around, but did not see Conan and his party.

It's probably the Sherlock Holmes Museum still in Baker Street...

In order not to be discovered and run into Conan who might come to check in later, Qin Zhibo found a corner of the street, about 20 meters away from the statue, and quietly observed it.

However, 5 minutes later, except for the people taking photos and checking in, there was no one else near the statue.

It wasn't until the appointed time was 2 minutes away that a tall woman wearing a brown trench coat slowly approached the statue.

She raised her camera and took a photo of the tall Sherlock Holmes statue.

Then, she took two more photos of the surrounding streets.

Qin Zhibo squinted slightly. Although the other person was wearing brown sunglasses and a flat-brimmed hat and could not see his identity information, his intuition told him that this person was Mary.

So, Qin Zhibo walked over and came directly to the woman.

"Long time no see, Mary."

The woman turned back and stared dully for a few seconds before slowly putting down the camera in her hand.

"Qin..."

…

Baker Street, 221B.

Conan and his friends are visiting the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

“As expected of the Sherlock Holmes Museum!”

"That's great!"

The group of people stood on the quaint peacock pattern carpet, looking at the furniture and various furnishings that were completely faithful to the original Sherlock Holmes, with varying degrees of expressions on their faces.

Only Conan looked at everything in front of him excitedly, with an innocent smile like a child on his face.

After waiting for 17 years, my dream can finally come true today!

Conan's eyes swept around the room and immediately locked on the sofa chair on the right side in front of the fireplace.

that is……

In the original work of Sherlock Holmes, Holmes often sat in that chair and discussed the case with Watson opposite.

Conan was so excited when he thought of that image in his mind, so he hurried forward and pointed at the chair and asked.

"Can I sit here, please?"

The staff in the museum smiled and nodded, "of course~"

"marvelous!"

After receiving permission, Conan jumped up and sat down in the middle of the sofa chair.

He tossed his body up and down like a child, feeling every inch of the sofa's elasticity, and smiled "giggle" from time to time.

"So this is Sherlock Holmes' seat~"

"Ha ha……"

Conan excitedly stroked the armrests on both sides of the sofa chair, feeling every possible pose that Holmes might pose.

Mao Lilan looked at the happy Conan, with a sweet smile on her lips.

She knew Conan was a fan of Sherlock Holmes very early on, but she never had the chance to come to London.

Seeing Conan really happy this time was a worthwhile trip.

Immediately, she turned to look at "Kudo Shinichi" next to her.

"Shinichi, why don't you go up there and experience it later?"

"I?"

Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment. He had already wandered away and only glanced briefly at the museum before looking towards the street outside.

Facing Mao Lilan's question, he had to turn his head and look at Conan who was fussing on the seat, but his heart was os: I'm not a Sherlock Holmes fan, why should I experience those childish things?

"Oh, I'd better forget it..."

Seeing Kudo Shinichi wave his hand to refuse, there was a trace of surprise on Mao Lilan's face.

Because based on her understanding of her sweetheart, she should be more excited about this rare opportunity.

But not only did he not feel excited, he also kept looking out the window with concern.

"Shinichi, are you okay? You've been looking outside..."

"ah?"

Kuroba Kaito smiled and scratched his head, "What's the matter with me~"

"I just think it's okay to take a casual look at these things. There's no need to take them too seriously..."

This explanation made Mao Lilan open her mouth wide, "Ah -?"

Here, Conan, who was starting to get eccentric after hearing Kuroba Kaito's speech, quickly stopped his experience and jumped down from his chair.

"Sister Xiaolan! Brother Shinichi must have felt a little embarrassed when he saw so many people here."

"Don't be embarrassed~Brother Shinichi, no one will blame you no matter how happy you act~"

"After all, this is your favorite Sherlock Holmes shrine!"

Conan showed an innocent expression, seemingly trying to persuade Kudo Shinichi to be more relaxed, but in fact he was reminding Kaito Kuroba to act according to the script.

Kuroba Kaito glanced at Conan below, with only a forced smile on his face.

Haha, this is obviously your favorite Sherlock Holmes shrine, right?

"Great!"

"How about the Holy Land of Sherlock Holmes! It's really nice here!"

"Not bad……"

There was no other way, so Kuroba Kaito could only pretend to be very interested in this place and start touring the museum.

The entire Sherlock Holmes Museum is not large, with a total of 4 floors and 2 rooms on each floor.

Most of the scenes inside are restored according to Conan Doyle's original works, and some old photos and expansion packs are used to supplement the places that cannot be restored.

If you are a true Sherlock Holmes fan, you will definitely find many details about Sherlock Holmes' "life" here.

It even includes the bullet holes that Holmes made in the wall with his revolver during his boring days without a case.

But for Kaito Kuroba, this is an apartment building that restores the architectural style of the 19th century, nothing more.

Although he had read Sherlock Holmes, he was not very interested in it.

In his eyes, Sherlock Holmes is just an artificially created protagonist of a mystery work. No matter how miraculous he appears in the book, it is all fiction.

Only those who live in reality can be called truly great.

Kuroba Kaito put his hands in his pockets and took a casual look at each floor, and soon arrived at the fourth floor.

Standing next to the fourth-floor window, he looked out at the street.

The uncle should be nearby now...

Kuroba Kaito's eyes glanced back and forth at the pedestrians on the street, but he never saw anyone who looked similar to Qin Zhibo.

At this moment, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Shinichi, what are you looking for?"

"ah!"

This sound startled Kuroba Kaito, because Xiaolan deliberately spoke into his ear, and even felt the girl's exhalation Rulan.

"Why are you so close?!"

"Shinichi, are you looking for someone? It feels like you are absent-minded..."

Mao Lilan frowned and asked.

She felt that Shinichi looked like he was here for the first time, but rather like he had been here a dozen times and was completely disenchanted.

The key is that I was absent-minded the whole time and always looking out of the window.

"Haha~ How is that possible?"

Kuroba Kaito smiled and scratched his head, "Who can I find? I just think the street scenery here is nice..."

At this time, Conan, who sensed something was wrong, followed again.

Seeing that Kuroba Kaito was suspected by Xiaolan again, he could only end the scene quickly, otherwise the secret would be exposed sooner or later if he stayed any longer.

"Um...Sister Xiaolan, should we go?"

"Eh?" Mao Lilan turned around in surprise, "Conan, are you leaving now?"

Conan nodded obediently, "Well, I've seen everything here, let's go to the Sherlock Holmes souvenir shop next door..."

Realizing that Kuroba Kaito might be about to say "It's boring" with a sullen expression, Conan quickly stopped and said, "Sister Xiaolan, I'm hungry. When should we go to the restaurant?"

"Conan is hungry..." Mao Lilan paused, "Okay, then Conan, you go downstairs and wait. Brother Shinichi and I will go down soon."

Conan glanced at Maorilan and Kuroba Kaito, and was worried about the two of them being alone, so he could only say coquettishly: "No, you guys should come together too!"

As he spoke, he grabbed their hands and pulled them out like naughty children.

Helpless, Mao Lilan and Kuroba Kaito could only follow Conan downstairs.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the entrance, they heard a quarrel coming from the door.

"You lied to me!"

"I know, Holmes is here!"

"Let me see him quickly!"

When the three of them walked out of the door, they saw a boy with yellow hair and a short head, about 8 years old, arguing with the security guard at the entrance of the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes has gone out to handle a case..."

"What case are you working on?"

"Well..." The security guard didn't know how to explain it to a child who didn't even know that Holmes was not a real person.

Seeing that the security guard couldn't answer, the boy became even more excited.

"The situation is urgent! If we don't act quickly, someone will die!"

Hearing the name "Dead Man", Conan's subconscious nerves tightened as he triggered the keyword.

At this time, the boy looked down at his watch again and exclaimed: "Oh no! The time is coming!"

"Sister's game will start soon, I must go back right away..."

The boy turned around and was about to run away. Seeing this, Conan quickly stepped forward and blocked the boy's way.

"If you don't mind, could you tell me about the case you mentioned?"

But the little boy didn't buy the God of Death's blame at all. Instead, he was somewhat resistant to the stinky peer in front of him.

"Why do I have to tell you things?"

Hearing the boy's words, Conan's lips showed a confident smile.

"Because I am Holmes's disciple!"

"Classmate Glass~"

Conan raised a finger and pointed at the boy in front of him.

At the same time, a thin figure standing at the corner looked at this scene with a very surprised expression on his face.

Sherlock Holmes's...disciple?

Thank you to the society for your reward, Brother Tian!
