The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

"I won't allow you to insult my idol!"

Sera Masumi yelled into the phone angrily.

This move shocked Mao Lilan, Mao Li Kogoro, Dr. A Li, and Detective Hakuba on the other side of the phone.

Including Kuroba Kaito and Conan, they all heard this somewhat broken roar.

Baima Tan looked a little surprised, because he had met Mao Lilan before during the Dusk Villa incident.

In his impression, Mao Lilan was a gentle girl, at least she would not say such words.

"Who are you?"

"I am Sera Masumi! Who are you?" Sera's anger was still not gone, and he asked on the phone.

Sera?

Bai Ma Tan frowned slightly, and for the first time his mind thought of this special surname, which was the surname of the suspect just confirmed.

"I am White Horse Detective..." White Horse Detective said his name without being humble or condescending.

Hearing this, Sera raised his eyebrows slightly and replied in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Oh~ Who did I think was so arrogant? It turns out to be the high school detective who often wears the same clothes as Sherlock Holmes and comes in and out of murder scenes... "

"I heard that you couldn't catch Kaitou Kidd in Japan, so you returned to England in despair, right?"

Upon hearing this, several black lines appeared on Bai Ma Tan's forehead.

Kuroba Kaito secretly rejoiced inwardly, hehe~ This is all my credit!

Although I am not good at solving problems, creating problems is my strength!

Faced with Sera's sarcasm, Baima Tan was worthy of being a young man who received an aristocratic education, and he did not get angry with Sera.

He quickly put away the displeasure on his expression and turned to the phone with a smile: "Since you think your reasoning ability is better than mine, why did you call me to ask for the answer to this puzzle?"

"It only took me a few seconds to solve the puzzle. The answer is..."

Before Bai Ma Tan could finish speaking, Shiliang put his mouth on the phone receiver, "Tch~ Who needs you to teach me!"

"I can see through this simple puzzle at a glance, isn't it..."

Sera Masumi did not tell lies, and she had indeed seen through the answer.

Although she is not considered a senior Sherlock Holmes fan based on her knowledge of Sherlock Holmes, her basic reasoning skills alone are enough to solve the puzzle.

However, just when she was about to tell the answer first, Kuroba Kaito on the side finally put on the wireless headphones handed over by Conan, and his smart reasoning and IQ took over the high ground again.

"The reason why I don't know is because I only look with my eyes instead of observing with my heart..."

"This is what Holmes said to Watson in A Scandal in Bohemia, when he was showing Watson a pink envelope."

"Back to the puzzle, since the murderer wrapped the letter in a plastic bag, it means that the letter needs to be wetted with water to reveal the true content."

Kuroba Kaito conveyed the voice of Conan through the wireless earphones, and then used his superb acting skills to completely retell it.

For a moment, Detective Baima couldn't tell the truth from the lie.

what's the situation?

I just wanted to use this matter to force Kuroba Kaito to reveal his identity, but in the end, he forced him to show his reasoning ability?

Even memorized the lines from Sherlock Holmes?

Magic genius, reasoning genius...which one is your true face?

Kuroba Kaito...

On the other side of the phone, Sera also vaguely heard the confident voice of "Kudo Shinichi" and shouted happily.

"Haha! I'll just say it~"

"That person can definitely solve this mystery!"

At this time, she was a little too excited and realized that her behavior was a little out of line.

She turned to look at the people around her, all looking at her with doubts on their faces.

"Zhenchun, did you know Shinichi before?" Mao Lilan asked.

"Forehead……"

Sera looked a little embarrassed and quickly handed the phone back to Mao Lilan's hand with a smile.

"Haha, that's not really true, but I often watch Japanese news and saw Kudo Shinichi..."

"By the way, why don't we quickly interpret the key clues of the murderer in the correct way!"

Seriang tried to change the subject, making Mao Lilan feel even more suspicious.

It's not that Seriang doesn't want to reveal that she is the girl he met at the beach 10 years ago.

But once you tell such an old story with great emotion, the other person still says that he doesn't remember you, that would be too embarrassing!

She is Serious and pure, but also shameless!

Just like that, Mouri Kogoro ran to a nearby place and bought a bottle of mineral water. He poured the mineral water on the paper that was taken out of the plastic bag. The title A Scandal in Bohemia was almost blurred, except for a capital letter "S".

"Yes!"

"It's the letter S!"

Mao Lilan told the other party on the phone the information he had obtained, and Detective White Horse, Conan, and Kaito Kuroba all heard it.

However, since Detective Baima doesn't know the entire case, he can't keep up with the version, and he doesn't know what the meaning of this answer is.

Kuroba Kaito took the phone back and said softly: "I understand, Xiaolan."

"Then it's up to you in London. When you find the next clue, call me at any time..."

When Mao Lilan heard Kuroba Kaito's gentle and magnetic voice, the deer jumped a little and his face turned a little rosy.

"Well! Just leave it to me!"

After hanging up the phone, Kuroba Kaito put the phone into his trouser pocket without any hesitation in his dirty little hands.

Conan: Hello! That's my phone number!

No one knows what the dwarf is thinking. The only target that Hakuba Tan is focusing on now is the man in front of him who is pronounced as Kudo Shinichi and written as Kuroba Kaito.

Is this guy actually two-timing?

When he was in Ekoda High School, Hakuba Tan knew from his classmates that Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Aoko were childhood sweethearts and were recognized as a couple in the class.

Although they themselves did not admit it at all.

But I didn't expect that Kuroba Kaito, a guy with a beastly face, would hook up with another one when he already had such a good girl by his side.

Could it be that his purpose of disguising himself as Kudo Shinichi was to get close to and pry away the girl named Mao Lilan?

Humph, I bet on the name of the Hakuba family and must make you reveal your flaws!

"Although the small puzzle has been solved, it's time to tell me the origin of that small puzzle, right?"

"What incident are you going to solve in London?"

Kuroba Kaito looked at Hakuba Tan and knew that there was no need to hide it from him. After all, London is his base camp, and he can know everything with just one phone call.

So, Kuroba Kaito told him the whole incident, starting from the time when the kid named Apollo received a note from a stranger...

"Hades... I know this person."

Hakuba Tan restrained his expression and said very seriously: "He is a person with an extremely dark and twisted heart. He attributed his mother's death to others and committed a series of crimes."

"It seems that this time he is likely to avenge his mother and is preparing to commit a crime at a certain location..."

Kuroba Kaito also reasoned along with Hakuba Tan's words: "The letters collected from the location indicated by the code are S, T, N, A..."

"But the code text has two hints of Big Ben, so it should be..."

Conan, who was standing at a low place, held his chin up and said seriously: "SATAN, Satan."

Hakuba Tan, who was frowning and thinking next to him, was stunned and looked at Conan in confusion.

Conan didn't realize that his knowledge was a bit beyond the scope at this time. Fortunately, Kuroba Kaito first noticed that Hakuba Tan's expression was wrong and turned around to interrupt.

"Yes!"

"Satan, I said it before..."

"But Satan is not a place, the code has not been completely solved, it should be somewhere else, right?"

Kuroba Kaito took the credit again, which made Hakuba Tan slightly dispel his doubts.

Just when everyone in the conference room was thinking about the code, Hakuba Tan's phone suddenly rang.

He walked to the side, picked up the phone, and after a few "yeah, yeah, got it" replies to the other side, he hung up the phone.

Hakuba Tan took the phone, walked to the opposite side of Kuroba Kaito and Conan, and said seriously: "Japan has not found any information about 'Sera Elena'."

"It is possible that she lives in Japan under an assumed name..."

Hakuba Tan narrowed his eyes slightly, and actually had other ideas in his mind.

This time, it was not the inefficient Japanese Metropolitan Police Department that collected the data, but the Hakuba Research Institute.

In order to control the growing crime rate, the Hakuba family, which has the highest status in the Japanese police, proposed a project.

It is to collect information data of all people living in Japan.

These include basic identity information, DNA information, travel record information, etc.

In the near future, the system will further connect with police organizations around the world to form a huge monitoring network.

There is even a "new technology" that even Hakuba is not aware of that is being secretly promoted...

Although the development of the system is not yet perfect, it is also in a basically usable state.

It can quickly retrieve various information of criminal suspects, making it impossible for criminals to hide.

However, it was unexpected that a British person who had given birth to a child in Japan could not retrieve any data.

Is there something missing in the system?

Or was the information of this woman deliberately hidden in some way?

...

On the other hand, Masumi Sera, Ran Maoli and others are still looking for clues to the code in London.

At the Elephant and Castle Station, the four people searched around the station for an hour and did not find any suspicious props.

This made Maori Kogoro gradually lose his patience, and he said unhappily: "See, I said that the man's reasoning was nonsense, the place pointed to by the code is not here at all..."

"Dad, it was you who said that what he said made sense~"

Mauri Ran complained helplessly about Maori Kogoro.

But it was difficult to find anything by searching around in the station, so she could only call Kudo Shinichi again.

This time the call was quickly connected, because this time the phone was directly in the hands of Kuroba Kaito.

"Shinichi, we are now at the Elephant and Castle Station..."

"It's like this, when we were eating in the restaurant before, we met a blond man who told us that the second sentence of the code was here, so we came."

"But we have been looking here for an hour and found nothing."

On the other side of the phone, Kuroba Kaito learned his lesson this time and turned on the hands-free mode directly, so that Conan could make inferences directly based on the content of the phone.

Hakuba Tan and Conan were listening to the phone. When Conan heard the blond man, his eyes suddenly froze, and he thought of the man who had been haunting him.

"What kind of blond man is that?!"

"Ah? Conan?"

Ran Maori was stunned. Why was it Conan who was talking, and the focus was not on the code.

"A blond man is a blond man. What's the difference? Don't foreigners look the same?"

"I just remember that he was wearing a pair of sunglasses..."

At this moment, Conan quickly prompted, "Is he the same blond man wanted in the previous attack on Officer Chiba?"

"Hmm..." Ran Maori pondered, recalling the scene at that time in her mind, and then she realized why she felt that the other party looked familiar at that time.

"Yes! Now that you mention it, I remember it!"

"It seems that he does look like the man on the wanted list..." Ran Maori changed the subject again and hesitated, "But Britain is so far away from Japan, it's not such a coincidence, right?"

Conan smiled slightly and glanced at Kuroba Kaito next to him.

Humph, that's not necessarily true...

"Sister Xiaolan, do you remember anything else about that man..."

Just as Conan was about to continue asking questions, Kuroba Kaito, who felt something was wrong, interrupted him and said, "Conan, Xiaolan, what are you talking about?"

"We are discussing the secret code now, so let's turn the topic back to the secret code..."

When Maori Ran heard Shinichi's voice, she was very obedient and corrected the topic, "The man said that the second secret code is based on the name, and there is a long nose and a castle in it, so it is the Elephant and Castle Station..."

"So did the man say it wrong?"

"No, it shouldn't be..."

At this time, Hakuba Tan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

He said calmly, "In fact, before you called, I was thinking that the location of the second secret code should be the Elephant and Castle Station."

"But since you didn't find it in the station, you can also go to the hypermarket near the station to have a look, maybe you will get something..."

As soon as Hakuba Tan finished speaking, on the other side of the phone, Sera Masumi, who was a few meters away from Maori Ran, grabbed the arm of a strange uncle in the station.

Masumi Sera's mouth curled slightly, revealing a handsome smile with a bit of masculinity.

"Uncle, you are not Hades, are you?"

"What?"

The Mediterranean uncle with a circle of brown curly hair on the back of his head looked at Masumi Sera in surprise, and subconsciously tried to break free of his arm, but Sera held him tightly.

Ran Mouri and others noticed the movement here and hurried over.

Masumi Sera also calmly lifted the man's arm and the briefcase in his hand.

The word "Identity" was clearly written on the briefcase.

"A case of Identity, also known as the groom's disappearance case, is also one of the Sherlock Holmes series."

"I have been observing you for a long time. You have been wandering around the station. Do you have any purpose?"

"Or are you Hades?"
