The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 1279 When the "God of Death" comes...

"Blow up, blow up?"

Maori and his daughter showed shocked expressions in unison.

Is the rice cracker specialty "eight eggs" also popular in London, England?

Sera Masumi nodded, "Yes, it is said that Hades met a woman named 'Hestia' during his escape. She was a down-and-out mercenary and a bomb expert."

"She helped a lot in Hades' revenge..."

"Two months ago, the police found the female suspect's hiding place, but she blew herself up in the building and died..."

As Masumi Sera spoke, she recalled the information her mother Mari told her last night.

Because Hades caused mass casualties in London, MI6 is also investigating him.

According to MI6's subsequent investigation at the "Hestia" self-destruction site, it is believed that it is more likely that she is still alive.

At this time, Mouri Kogoro wondered: "But now that the identity of the prisoner is known, the police should be able to arrest Hades soon, right?"

Sera explained with a serious face, "This is the tricky part..."

"Hades kept having plastic surgery during his escape and has changed his face several times so far."

"This is where his danger lies. His real target is likely to be the United Kingdom, which regards gambling and gambling as legal..."

The UK is a country that has adopted a completely liberal policy towards gambling and gambling.

After Hades kills everyone involved in his mother's death, he will probably transfer his hatred to the entire country.

Seriang's analysis surprised Mao Lilan next to him and asked: "Zhenchun, your analysis is so professional..."

"Almost like a detective."

"Ah?" Shiliang looked startled, turned around and scratched his head with a smile, "Really? I just explained the content of the news report..."

In fact, she had considered using her reasoning skills to become a high school detective, but there were not many cases in London, and Scotland Yard alone was enough to cope with daily life.

In addition, Scotland Yard also has an official detective who is also a high school student. Except for gender, other settings are repeated with his own.

The most important thing is that Mary is not allowed to be too ostentatious in England, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of bad people.

The "bad guys" in Mary's words were naturally the "organization" that forced their family to leave the UK.

organize……

As soon as he thought of "organization" in his mind, Sera Masumi's eyes revealed a stern look unique to the Akai family.

It was also yesterday that she learned from Mary for the first time that what her father was fighting was such a behemoth...

"Well~"

"Anyway, all we can do now is unlock the 'code'."

"When I went back yesterday, I gave the contents of the secret code to my mother, and she really thought of a possibility..."

Sera showed the photo of the note again on his mobile phone and explained it to the Maori father and daughter and Dr. Agasa.

"Actually, we all thought wrong at first. The code on this paper was not meant to express a single location, but multiple locations..."

"You see, the first sentence, 'The roaring bells woke me up from my sleep,' actually refers to London's Big Ben, which is famous throughout London and even the world."

"Big Ben is located in the north of the Palace of Westminster. According to Greenwich Time, it chimes every hour..."

"The second sentence, 'I am a long-nosed magician who lives in a castle,' has no meaning yet."

"But the third sentence, 'The only thing that can fill your stomach is boiled eggs as cold as corpses', should refer to the London City Hall, because the appearance of that building looks like an egg placed sideways. …”

After Sera gave the code to Mary last night, Mary guessed the meaning of the code after just thinking about it for a moment.

After all, Mary's family, the Sera family, was considered an aristocratic family in England before its decline. They had lived on this land for generations, making Mary very familiar with everything in London.

Mary relied on her impression of London to guess the locations in the code.

It's just that based on these locations, it's impossible to guess where Hades plans to take action. He can only let Sera walk around during the day to see if he can find any new clues.

Seriang finished his analysis and arranged the next itinerary.

"Since the first thing mentioned in the code is Big Ben, let's go there first!"

…

On the other side, Conan and Kuroba Kaito arrived at Brightchester University in a special car.

Along the way, Conan was catching up on his sleep in the back seat. When he felt the car suddenly stop, he lazily got up.

He held the front seat with his hands and looked out the window.

Behind the ancient campus gate is a lush and long avenue.

Oak trees are planted on both sides of the avenue, and in the middle there are groups of students strolling on the road, holding various books in their hands.

"There are too many students in front of us. It's inconvenient to take a bus. Why don't you go in and look for them? I'll wait for you here."

The driver in the driver's seat said to Kuroba Kaito in English.

Kuroba Kaito thought the same thing. Seeing that there were quite a lot of people in this school, it was probably difficult to find a parking spot after entering.

"Then I'll trouble you... Come on, kid, let's get out of the car."

Kuroba Kaito fully adapted to his identity as "Kudo Shinichi" and directly called Conan a kid.

This made Conan roll his eyes in displeasure, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After the two got off the car, they walked straight forward in the direction of the main road, looking around curiously as they walked.

Unlike at night, the University of Brightchester during the day is no different from an ordinary university.

The chattering and laughing students were walking on the road. Although they were holding heavy books in their hands, they could not feel the pressure of schoolwork at all from their faces.

This atmosphere made Conan and Kuroba Kaito a little distracted for a while.

After all, the two of them are about to reach the age of entering college, and their life after entering college can be used as a reference.

And with their IQs, it is certain that they will enter a world-famous university like the University of Bristol in the future.

The only thing that may limit the degree to which the two of them can advance to higher education is the degree of their future girlfriends.

The two of them just enjoyed the beautiful scenery and walked to the central area of ​​the university before they remembered that they were here to do business.

"Hey, where are you going?" Conan asked, squinting upward at Kuroba Kaito.

Kuroba Kaito was startled and quickly remembered that his final destination was the Blychester Astronomical Research Institute.

He looked around and saw no map or road signs within his field of vision.

But in front of a campus bulletin board, I saw a graceful figure standing in front of the bulletin board and reading the content on it.

She has long, smooth, pale golden hair hanging behind a rice-colored windbreaker.

Although the windbreaker itself is a bit unsightly, just by the pair of slender legs in light black silk exposed from the hem of the windbreaker, you can tell that she is definitely a beauty.

Kuroba Kaito's eyes swept over that figure, and he immediately became energetic and walked forward to strike up a conversation with a relaxed pace.

"Hi, hello~".

The woman who was looking at the bulletin board was startled by the sound and turned her head, just in time to see the sunny smile on the face of Kuroba Kaito next to her.

"Hello~"

The woman returned the same polite smile and answered with a hint of enthusiasm.

Kuroba Kaito was a little surprised for a moment.

Because the person he struck up a conversation with was not only a beauty, but also a very outstanding beauty with glasses.

The woman wears a pair of round-framed glasses. Although glasses are said to affect her appearance, they look just right on this woman’s round face.

Inside the beige windbreaker is a black professional skirt, and underneath the skirt are stockings that are slightly lighter than black.

The only flaw is that she wears a pair of black sneakers under the stockings, which are more practical.

"Hello..." Kuroba Kaito was a little dazed for a moment, but after all, there were countless women, so he quickly reacted and asked in a normal tone: "Are you a student of this school?"

"Well..." the woman paused, "that's right."

Kuroba Kaito was surprised, "What does 'account' mean?"

The woman smiled and replied: "Actually, my alma mater is this university. I happened to pass by nearby today, so I came in to take a look..."

alma mater?

Kuroba Kaito quickly ran through the woman's appearance in his field of vision, and he did feel that she was a little more mature than the college students here.

While he was thinking about it, the woman took the initiative to ask.

"Excuse me, do you have something to do with me?"

"And judging from your face and accent, are you Japanese?"

Kuroba Kaito was speaking English just now, but all Japanese people understand English.

Kuroba Kaito's face was shocked and he asked in Japanese: "Do you understand Japanese?"

The woman narrowed her eyes and smiled, "A little bit, I stayed there for a while..."

"Oh, is it so!"

Kuroba Kaito was a little surprised.

Conan, who was standing behind him, raised his half-moon eyes and complained in his mind, why are there people who can speak Japanese around him wherever he goes?

"But big sister, your Japanese seems to be very good. It doesn't look like you've only been here for a while..."

Conan was complaining in his heart, but his curiosity came up and he still had to ask.

The woman looked down at Conan with the same smile on her lips, "Is my Japanese very good? That should be because I have stayed in Japan for a long time..."

"After all, I had a child in Japan..."

As soon as the woman's words came out, Kuroba Kaito's head was like a thunderbolt, shattering him with a crack of thunder.

This is already the mother of a child!

What the hell?

Conan also had some surprise on his face, "But you look so young..."

"Oh, is it so?"

A gust of wind blew by, and the woman smoothed her long pale golden hair that was blown by the wind, "Maybe it's because I usually pay more attention to maintenance..."

"By the way, you haven't said what you want me to do?"

Kuroba Kaito, whose head was a little burnt, thought of business and quickly revealed his destination.

"...The Institute of Astronomy, right?"

"That place is at the end of this main road, and you can see it all the way to the Severn River."

Conan and Kuroba Kaito looked at the end of the avenue at the same time. Since the distance was still quite far, they couldn't see the river or anything like that.

At this time, the woman also turned and walked towards the school gate, waving her hand before leaving.

"It's time for me to leave..."

"Goodbye, two kids."

Looking at the woman walking away with her hands in her coat pockets, Conan felt a lingering strange feeling in his heart.

This woman... feels like I've seen her before somewhere?

At this moment, Kuroba Kaito was already calling him from a few meters behind.

"Hey, kid, are you still leaving?"

"If you don't leave, I will leave you behind..."

Upon hearing this, Conan quickly took three steps and two steps to keep up with Kuroba Kaito's progress.

…

The two of them walked for about a kilometer, and without much searching, they saw the Astronomy Research Institute standing on a low slope.

Next to the institute is the Severn River that flows through the town of Brichester, and the sunken valley is filled with clear lake water.

The two walked along the stone steps on the short slope to the entrance of the research institute. Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath and pressed the bell next to the door.

Di——

A long and narrow electric bell rang from overhead.

However, after ten seconds, there was no response from inside.

So Kuroba Kaito pressed it again.

Di——

Still no one responded.

Faced with this situation, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but wonder, has the man named Ingalls left here?

Conan, who felt that the plot seemed familiar, took two steps back and looked up at the top of the building.

I saw that the window of a room on the second floor was open.

He raised his finger and said, "Look, the window over there is open..."

Kuroba Kaito also took two steps back and looked up, and saw the open window.

Since the doorbell won't open when you ring it, as Kaitou Kidd, he naturally has to take a different approach.

He rolled up his sleeves and came directly under the window on the second floor. With a jump of his legs, his body took off on the spot with his amazing jumping ability.

He grabbed the bulge on the upper edge of the window on the first floor with both hands, and then climbed to the second floor with the help of the pipe next to it.

Conan couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Kuroba Kaito's agile skills.

Even if this person is not Michael's companion, he is definitely not an ordinary person...

Kuroba Kaito squatted high and glanced down at the short Conan below. He turned his head and was about to climb into the room through the window when he was shocked by the scene in front of him.

In a messy office, I saw a man wearing glasses lying on an armchair with his head tilted, his eyes widened as if he was about to die.

"ah……?"

When Kuroba Kaito saw this scene, although he was not frightened and screamed like Maori Lan, he still made some noises.

When Conan saw Kuroba Kaito squatting on the window sill and not getting in, and making strange noises, he immediately concluded that something was wrong.

"What happened!"

"There is, there is a dead man here..." Kuroba Kaito replied.

"What?!"

Conan immediately became alert and subconsciously wanted to ask Mao Lilan to call the police. But when he looked back, he remembered that the person with the alarm tool did not come today.

He had no choice but to take out his phone and call the police himself.

The UK emergency number is 999...

"I'm calling the police now, don't go in yet..."

"Hello!"

Just as Conan raised his head to give the young man above him a few words, Kuroba Kaito had already slipped and entered the room.
