The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

The next day, early morning.

hotel.

Conan was awakened by the faint sound in the room. He subconsciously put on the black technology glasses without prescription before slowly sitting up.

I saw Mao Lilan kneeling on the bed next door, folding clothes and other items one by one and putting them in the suitcase.

"Sister Xiaolan, what are you doing so early?"

"Pack your luggage~"

Mao Lilan turned her head and said sheepishly: "Sorry, Conan, did I wake you up?"

"No, I just woke up..."

Conan shook his head and rubbed his forehead. Then he remembered that today was Sunday and it was time to go back to Japan.

The two-and-a-half-day trip to London is coming to an end...

For some reason, Conan felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart when he thought that his trip to London was about to end.

On the one hand, he visited the Sherlock Holmes Shrine for the first time and fulfilled his childhood dream.

On the other hand, he felt that he still had unfinished business here.

First of all, "Kuroba Kaito" has never appeared again since he disappeared.

This man exchanged passports with himself. Although the two of them looked the same and had the same passports, it would ultimately be detrimental to him if this continued.

If that kid uses his passport to do something bad, his reputation will be ruined!

Secondly, regarding Michael, Conan always felt that this person was in London at this time.

Whether Mao Lilan and others ate at a London restaurant the day before yesterday, the blond man who took the initiative to give clues to the code or the companion of "Kuroba Kaito" they met was probably Michael.

It's a pity that now I don't have any clues about this person's whereabouts. No matter how much I stay to investigate, it's futile.

never mind……

It's better to go back early and return the doctor to Haiyuan.

"Conan, please go and wake up the father and the doctor next door, can you?"

"good--"

Conan put on his slippers, slowly walked out of the room, and came to the door of the next room.

He knocked on the door several times and waited for another half minute before Kogoro Mouri yawned and came out to open the door.

"What's going on?"

"Sister Xiaolan said she would go back to Japan today, so she asked uncle and the doctor to get up early."

Mouri Kogoro yawned greatly, said "I know" listlessly, and closed the door again.

By the time all four of them had packed their bags and washed themselves, it was already 7:00 am.

Mao Lilan planned how to spend the last few hours of her trip to London.

That is to go to the hotel restaurant for breakfast later, and then go shopping in some famous London commercial streets nearby.

Wait until 12:00 noon and then take the nearest flight to Japan at Heathrow Airport.

As soon as Mao Lilan announced the itinerary, Conan touched Dr. A Li's knee with his elbow.

Dr. A Li looked down at Conan and immediately understood what he meant.

"Well... Xiaolan, there is actually something I forgot to tell you."

"Conan's mother called me last night and said that one of Conan's relatives suddenly fell ill and asked Conan to go back and take a look early."

"So Conan and I waited for breakfast and took an earlier flight back to Japan..."

"What?" Mao Lilan looked surprised and asked worriedly: "What kind of relative are they? Are they seriously ill? How about we go back together?"

Hearing that Mao Lilan wanted to go back together, Dr. Ali quickly explained: "It's Yuki... a relative of the Bundai family. It's not a serious illness. He just wants me to take Conan back for a visit as soon as possible..."

Conan also echoed: "Sister Xiaolan, you and your uncle can stay in London for a few more hours. Dr. Ali and I are just taking an earlier flight back to Japan."

"And sister Xiaolan, haven't you bought any gifts for Sister Yuanzi and the others?"

Conan guessed Mao Lilan's little thoughts with just one word.

Since I have been busy solving the case these days, I don't even have time to do serious shopping.

The last few hours of shopping were specially set aside by Mao Lilan to buy gifts.

Of course, she would also use this time to persuade Mouri Kogoro to buy a gift for Fei Yingli to see if she could take the opportunity to change the situation of the couple's separation.

After Conan's reminder, Mao Lilan also remembered that she still had unfinished business in London.

I believe Yuanzi won’t care about the gifts from friends.

But if Fei Yingli knew that Mouri Kogoro finally went to London and came back empty-handed, there might be another conflict.

"Okay...I understand."

Seeing that Mao Lilan agreed, Conan and Dr. Ali looked at each other with a hint of joy on their lips.

In fact, no one got sick at all, let alone had to go back to visit.

All of this is just a little trick Conan made in order to return as "Kuroba Kaito".

Whether it is the passport of "Kuroba Kaito" or "Kudo Shinichi", the identity on the passport needs to use the image of an adult.

This requires Conan to take a temporary antidote for the return journey and become an adult.

…

After the four of them finished breakfast in the hotel restaurant, Conan and Dr. A Li got into a taxi.

"Sister Xiaolan, goodbye~"

"See you in Japan!"

On the side of the road, Mao Lilan waved goodbye to Conan, "Conan, please pay attention to your safety~"

"Don't worry, Dr. Ali is here!"

When the taxi started, Mao Lilan's figure gradually disappeared.

Dr. Agasa tilted his head and looked at Conan and asked, "Shinichi, where should we go next?"

"There are still several hours before the plane takes off. We can't stay in the airport lobby forever, right?"

The return ticket for the Maori father and daughter was still provided by the rich British woman with "nearly 100 million yuan". It was a first-class ticket, so it was impossible to meet him sitting in economy class.

So this time when he goes back, Conan plans to continue taking the same flight with Maori and his daughter as when he came here.

The main thing is excitement!

But this also means that they also need to find a place to spend these few hours.

"Then let's go to Baker Street first."

"That day, I was disturbed by that boy named 'Kuroba Kaito' and couldn't even visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum..."

…

Half an hour later, Conan and Dr. Ali came to Baker Street again.

The two did not go to the Sherlock Holmes Museum immediately, but found a public toilet first.

In the bathroom stall, Conan took a temporary antidote to APTX-4869.

Since the flight from London to Japan takes less than 24 hours, he needs to take the antidote in advance to consume some of the enlargement time of the antidote.

Under the influence of the antidote, Conan's head and back began to smoke in just one minute, and his heart was pounding.

When Conan walked out of the toilet cubicle, the law of conservation of mass had been broken, and the original figure of an elementary school student turned into a handsome high school student.

"Okay, doctor..."

"Let's go shopping."

The two started from the Sherlock Holmes Museum and visited the business district of Baker Street.

Along the way, it was rare for Conan to have a relaxing time without any psychological baggage.

Dr. A Li also bought some souvenir gadgets in small shops along the way, and planned to take them back to Japan to give to Haibara Ai and the three little ones.

This reminded Conan that he should bring a gift to Qin Zhibo before going back.

He originally didn't want to bring any souvenirs back, because once Mao Lilan discovered them, he wouldn't be able to explain the source.

But Qin Zhibo is one of the people who knows his true identity after all. Even if Mao Lilan discovers the souvenirs he sent, he will help him smooth things over.

Moreover, in this case, thanks to Qin Zhibo's reasoning, Hades' conspiracy was discovered in time.

Once that bomb explodes, Xiaolan and others will...

I owe Qin Zhibo a lot.

At the suggestion of Dr. Agasa, Conan decided to buy a hardcover commemorative edition of "Sherlock Holmes" as a gift.

This commemorative edition is only sold in Baker Street stores around the world, and only the first five people who answer the "50 Questions of Sherlock Holmes" correctly every day are eligible to purchase it.

Of course, this is no problem for Conan, who is a die-hard Sherlock Holmes fan.

In just 10 minutes, Conan answered all 50 questions correctly and successfully qualified to purchase.

When Conan came out of the store with the exquisite Sherlock Holmes series, the people who were still filling out the answer sheets at the door of the store all cast envious glances.

"Huh... Shinichi, where are you going next?"

After shopping for more than two hours, Dr. Ali was so tired that sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Let's find a place to rest for a while..."

Conan raised his hand and checked the time, "In half an hour, it will be almost time. Let's rush to the airport first, Xiaolan and Uncle."

The grandfather and grandson found an air-conditioned roadside drink shop and went in to cool off while passing the last time in London.

In the dark shop, a TV hangs on a Mediterranean-style pillar, and the BBC news program is playing on it.

The first one to bear the brunt is the Hades case, which has been continuously reported in the past few days and even caused a sensation in the entire UK yesterday.

After a year-long hunt, the fugitive serial murderer "Hades Shabala" was finally caught.

The word "net" is very important because he was arrested at Wimbledon and was carrying out a crime when he was arrested.

However, the London police did not announce the specific process of Hades' arrest, only saying "with the help of people familiar with the matter."

This is more in line with Conan's wishes.

In addition, at the end, the police publicly shouted to the person who stole Hades' bomb detonator, hoping that he would come forward and hand the detonator to Scotland Yard.

Because of his major meritorious service, the police will ignore the thief's behavior even if it is not subjective, and may even apply for a government award.

The media even gave him complimentary titles such as "Gentleman Thief" and "The Luckiest Thief in History".

Conan: "..."

He has always suspected that this so-called "thief" should not be a real thief, but an "enthusiastic London citizen" who wanted to stop Hades.

However, the police asked the testimonies of surrounding spectators yesterday. No one had seen the appearance of the thief, and the stadium's ticketing system could not find any suspicious persons.

Who on earth is it?

The second piece of news is about the gem theft that took place in London's City Hall.

The stolen gem is the world's largest ruby ​​- "Crimson Tears" belonging to the Hob Thaumaturgy Troupe.

Conan had some impressions of this thaumaturgy troupe and remembered that it had performed in Japan before.

The third piece of news is that a car accident occurred at a street intersection in London.

The driver of the car accident fled and two people were injured at the scene.

As the host on the TV was talking, the screen switched to a video shot at the scene.

In the video, a white car with its front end deformed was lying in the middle of the road.

Next to the car, a woman with short blond hair was lying on the ground with her eyes closed.

The camera zoomed in, and the eyes of Conan and Dr. Ali, who could clearly see the woman's face, suddenly froze.

"Eh?"

"This person looks like Xiao Ai..."

Dr. A Li murmured.

Conan, who had a straw in his mouth, also looked surprised.

Although there is a big age difference between this woman and Haihara Ai, her face, hair, and nose are almost identical.

Speaking of which, that Haiyuan guy is a mixed race, right?

At this time, the camera on the screen turned to another injured person.

I saw a blond man lying on the asphalt. The camera zoomed in, and a familiar face appeared in front of Conan.

It's him!

Conan suddenly stood up from his chair and stared at the TV with wide eyes.

After repeated confirmation, this person is Michael!

At this time, Dr. Ali also recognized him and said: "This person is the person Xiaolan and I met in the restaurant the day before yesterday, and the person who took the initiative to solve the code!"

After listening to Dr. Ali's words, Conan was determined.

Michael did come to London from Japan.

The reason is probably the same as what I guessed before. Because of his appearance, he became a wanted criminal in Japan, so he had to go abroad to avoid the limelight.

But who is the woman with him?

And was this car accident really a coincidence?

At this time, the blond man in the camera sat up from the ground, blinked his eyes, and his brain seemed to be adapting to the surrounding environment.

Passers-by came forward and asked a few questions. At this time, someone shouted "gun" and "pistol" in the crowd.

Immediately afterwards, the man jumped up from the ground, pushed away the crowd, and fled quickly.

As the man's back disappears around the corner of the alley, the video ends.

Then, the screen returned to the host again.

"So far, there has been no response from the London Police to this incident."

Staring at the TV screen, his intuition told Conan that there must be something hidden in this.

Unfortunately, he had already taken the antidote and had no choice but to return to Japan immediately. He had no time to investigate.

We can only wait for a long time...

"Let's go, Doctor."

"It's time for us to go to the airport..."

Conan stood up again, holding the handle of the suitcase with one hand. Just as he was about to walk out, the host on the TV suddenly made a hurried sound.

"Insert an urgent news..."

"NASA has just announced the latest news. According to the latest data returned by Voyager 1, a rogue planet is currently approaching the solar system at an extremely fast speed..."

"Relevant departments are still studying the specific situation, but high-resolution satellite photos have been released to the world first..."

As he spoke, a photo of outer space that filled the entire TV screen suddenly appeared.

I saw a huge brown-red planet located in the vast deep space of the universe.
