The Grammatical Investigator in Conan
Chapter 1314 Flight that cannot take off
At this moment, major discoveries about "rogue planets" have been rapidly spreading around the world...
At this moment, only a few customers in this cozy beverage shop noticed what was being broadcast on the TV.
Dr. Ali stood there blankly, staring at the TV on the pillar, then turned to Conan and said.
"Shinichi, NASA seems to have made some incredible discovery..."
"Shinichi?"
Dr. A Li looked at Conan, but found that Conan's eyes were wide open at this time, and the disbelief in his eyes was undisguised.
He murmured: "That's actually true..."
"What really? Shinichi?"
Dr. Agasa's words brought Conan's thoughts back to the present, so the latter explained: "It was the murder case that I encountered when I went to Brightchester University with the man named 'Kuroba Kaito' two days ago. "
"The deceased in the case was a researcher at the Institute of Astronomy, and the ongoing research was on rogue planets."
"According to the deceased's colleagues, the deceased had been predicting that a rogue planet would visit the solar system in the near future."
"I didn't expect that his prediction would come true so soon..."
Conan stopped where he was and thought for a moment whether the reason why Ingalls was killed might be related to this incident.
Since the wandering planet is real, could it be that someone wanted to prevent the disclosure of this matter, so they killed Ingalls?
But now NASA has announced the news. Even if Ingalls is killed, the news will still be made public, just two days late.
so……
"Shinichi, can we leave yet?" Dr. A Li asked next to him.
"Ah? Of course I'm leaving..."
Conan came to his senses and could only temporarily put aside his thoughts on the case.
After all, now I have taken the only antidote for returning. No matter how many regrets I have about this trip to London, I must return.
…
Half an hour later, Conan and Dr. Ari arrived at Heathrow Airport.
The two of them first bought return tickets on the same flight as Xiaolan, entered the waiting hall, and found a corner to hide.
After another half an hour, Maori and his daughter also arrived at the airport waiting hall.
"I see, that detective boy just thinks you are troublesome and doesn't want to see you..."
"Dad, Shinichi is just busy with a case..."
As soon as they entered, the father and daughter were arguing.
It turned out that just half an hour ago, Mao Lilan called Kudo Shinichi and reported that his group was about to return to Japan.
As a result, Kudo Shinichi said that there was a case to be handled over there and he couldn't go to the airport to see him off. He could only wish Mao Lilan and others a safe journey.
Therefore, Mouri Kogoro seized on this and believed that Kudo Shinichi did not care about his daughter at all.
Mao Lilan, on the other hand, simply believed that her childhood sweetheart was busy with business and couldn't get away from him.
Therefore, Mao Lilan called Sera Masumi who had previously agreed to call before returning to Japan.
As a result, I don’t know if it was a coincidence or an accident, Sera Masumi also said that he had something to do temporarily and could not go to the airport to see him off. He wished Mao Lilan a good journey.
As for Minerva, although the two parties exchanged phone numbers and email addresses, considering that Minerba had just won the championship, she must have many things to deal with, so she would not be disturbed.
So, the father and daughter arrived at the airport without anyone coming to see them off.
After checking in the suitcase, Mao Lilan suddenly felt a little cramped in her lower body.
"Dad, let me go to the toilet."
"Oh, got it."
Mao Lilan walked towards the toilet.
Seeing this, Conan and Dr. Ali, who were hiding behind an airport sign, quickly retracted their heads.
After Mao Lilan passed by them, the two of them poked their heads out again.
Thinking that they had to hide like thieves for an hour, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little tired.
Taking advantage of this time, Conan asked Dr. Ari to be on guard, while he took out his mobile phone to check the "wandering planet" reported on TV just now.
Compared with the calmness of the real world, this matter has caused an uproar on the Internet.
For a time, various supporters of doomsday theories sprung up like mushrooms after rain, spreading the idea that "humanity is about to end" everywhere on the Internet.
Conan selected some content that seemed to have some scientific knowledge, clicked on it, and took a rough look.
This newly discovered "rogue planet" is different from Halley's Comet. It is a genuine celestial body with a planet-level size.
Let alone a direct impact of such a planet on the Earth, even if it just passes near the Earth, it will have a huge impact on the Earth.
First, the most direct impact is to change the Earth's orbit.
The current temperature of the earth is the most suitable for humans, but once the orbit changes, the temperature of the earth will rise or fall sharply.
This drastic change in temperature is not as simple as ±2 or 3 degrees Celsius, but may cause the earth to usher in the sixth ice age, or return to the earth of ancient times.
The earth in ancient times was a burning fireball.
Secondly, the earth's tides will be affected, resulting in super tsunamis. Coastal areas and even some low-altitude countries may be inundated by sea water.
The guy on the Internet doesn’t mean any harm, but one of the examples he cited is Japan.
This made Conan frown.
In addition, the earth's magnetic field will also change as a result, planes in the sky will crash, ships on the sea will lose their way, and humans will lose satellites and communication signals.
As the distance between the earth and the wandering planet gets closer and closer, supersonic hurricanes, earthquakes, meteor showers, volcanic eruptions, and all kinds of natural disasters will occur all over the world, and no place will be spared...
As he watched, Conan's mood became heavy unconsciously.
Although these doomsday theories are all hypothetical, even if they are only slightly affected, it may be a disaster for fragile humans.
Because they are about to take a plane back to Japan, and this flight is 15 hours.
And NASA has not released any other information about this "wandering planet", and no one knows when the wandering planet will come.
Therefore, in the comments below the doomsday theory, some people said that there has been a rush to buy compressed food in their local area, and medicines, tools, and basements are also in short supply.
However, many netizens believe that the "doomsday theory" is just a wild theory and is not tenable at all.
At present, only NASA has provided a photo of a planet, and there is no specific size of the wandering planet, nor its orbit and distance information.
In particular, NASA's moon landing photos have been questioned as being taken by Hollywood, and the authenticity of this planet photo is even more questionable.
And since NASA can release the information, it means that the situation is still completely within the controllable range. Humans don't need to panic at all. In the end, they will only scare themselves.
Conan was watching two groups of people arguing on the Internet, and Dr. Agasa next to him pulled his sleeve.
"Shinichi, look..."
Conan looked in the direction indicated by Dr. Agasa, and saw that almost everyone in the terminal hall was looking at their mobile phones with serious faces.
After a while, the first person stood up from his seat and ran to the refund window of the airport.
And as this person stood up, it seemed to be a herd effect. Many passengers also stood up and walked to the refund window.
There were even a few people who didn't even refund their tickets and went directly to the exit.
"It should be that the news on the Internet played a role. Some people were worried that the flight would be affected, so they chose not to take it..."
Conan turned to look at Dr. Agasa and asked, "Doctor, do you have friends who are engaged in astronomy? Can you consult what happened now?"
Dr. Agasa thought about it for a while, and it really reminded him of a friend.
He quickly took out his phone and dialed the other party's number.
Soon, the call was connected.
Dr. Agasa explained his purpose, and the other party first gave a decisive answer.
The "wandering planet" thing is 70% true, because there has been slight climate change on the earth.
For example, the wind speed has increased and the global sea level has risen by 1.2cm.
Although these effects are negligible to humans, the reasons behind these phenomena are terrifying.
Various signs indicate that there is an external force in the universe that is subtly changing the environment of the earth.
And humans are likely to have no way to deal with this.
"Doctor, can you ask if it is safe to fly back to Japan from London now?"
When the other party was about to hang up the phone, Conan asked Dr. Agasa to ask one more question.
And the other party's answer was also very decisive.
"It is best to stop all long-distance flights now, because if something happens, it is at least more convenient to deal with it on land..."
At this moment, the airport broadcast suddenly sounded.
"Dear passengers, due to weather reasons, all flights will be suspended today. The flights that have been dispatched will return immediately. The flight resumption time will be notified separately. The inconvenience caused by this..."
With this airport reminder, it means that the authorities have also noticed the dangers brought by the wandering planet.
Suddenly, there was an uproar in the waiting hall.
Some were shocked and questioning, some were complaining, and a few were confused by the voices of the uninformed.
But the only thing that was the same was that when people learned that they could not take off today, they took their luggage and walked towards the airport exit.
This sudden change made Conan and Dr. Agasa stunned for a moment, and the most worried thing still happened.
Especially Conan, he had taken the antidote for the return trip. Today's flight could not return to Japan, and there would be no chance in a short time.
But fortunately, the airport broadcast said that the flights that had already departed would also return, so even if he returned to Xiaolan as a primary school student Conan, he had a reason.
At the same time, Maori Kogoro, who heard the English notice at the airport and saw all the passengers waiting for the flight hurriedly walking out, was also a little flustered.
He didn't quite understand the English on the radio, but he could roughly guess what had happened.
So, eager to protect his daughter, Maori Kogoro quickly turned around and ran against the flow of people towards the toilet.
When he arrived at the toilet door, no one had come out of the toilet at this time.
He looked at his watch anxiously, then turned his head to look at the increasingly crowded waiting hall, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted in the direction of the women's toilet.
"Xiaolan!"
"Are you in there? Xiaolan!"
However, there was no response from the women's toilet.
At this time, Maori Kogoro remembered the phone his daughter carried with her, took out his own phone and dialed it.
But no one answered the other side.
"Hello! Xiaolan!"
"Are you in there?!"
Maori Kogoro made a loudspeaker gesture, as close to the door of the women's toilet as possible, and kept a safe distance to avoid being called a pervert by people coming out of it.
But at this moment, a palm suddenly pressed on his shoulder.
Mouri Kogoro was so frightened that his shoulders trembled, thinking that his behavior was noticed by airport security.
But when he looked back, a familiar young face was standing behind him.
"Eh?"
Mouri Kogoro's face was stunned, "Why is it your kid?"
Conan smiled, "Of course I'm here to see you off, uncle."
"But didn't you say you don't have time? And this is the waiting hall, how did you get in?" Mouri Kogoro rarely found an important point with his own strength.
"Um..." Conan's brain reacted, "It was originally a surprise for you, haha..."
"Actually, I know the person in charge of this airport very well, so I sneaked in through the back door."
Conan made up a lot of nonsense about the reason why he was here, and then hurriedly pretended to have just arrived and asked Mouri Kogoro what was going on.
Hearing Mouri Kogoro say that Mourilan had been in the women's room for a long time and couldn't be reached on the phone, Conan immediately looked around.
A foreign female tourist happened to be passing by. He quickly stepped forward to stop her and explained that his friend had not come out of the toilet for a long time and could he help her go in and take a look.
Words: success.
The other party agreed to help and walked into the women's restroom where men stopped.
After a while, the female tourist came out again, but instead of taking out Mao Lilan, she handed a mobile phone to the two of them.
"There was no one in the toilet, I only found this phone in there."
Conan took the phone and immediately recognized that it was Mao Lilan's phone.
Open the cover and you will find the photo interface inside.
In the photo, Mao Lilan is sleeping on the bathroom floor tiles with her eyes closed.
"Xiaolan!"
Mouri Kogoro next to him saw his unconscious daughter and immediately let out a heartbreaking roar.
Conan also gritted his teeth and clenched his phone, not sure what was going on.
At this moment, Mao Lilan's cell phone suddenly rang, and an unknown call came in.
Conan thought for a second and then pressed the answer button.
"Is this high school detective Kudo Shinichi?"
Knowing that this matter was probably related to Mao Lilan's safety, Conan didn't care about revealing that he was still alive, and replied in a deep voice.
"I am."
After hearing this, the other party continued: "The girl named 'Maolilan' is in my hands now. If you want to save her, come to Wiltshire."
"When you get here, I'll tell you the next location."
"Remember, you are the only one here, otherwise you will never see that girl again."
Just as Conan was about to ask questions, the other party hung up the phone.
Mouri Kogoro on the side also guessed that his daughter had been kidnapped, so he quickly came up and asked: "Who is it?"
Conan stood there and shook his head in confusion: "I don't know, the other party used a voice changer, so I can't tell his identity."
Mouri Kogoro asked anxiously: "Then what did he say?"
"He said that he would tell me about Xiaolan's whereabouts only if I go to Will County alone..."
"What? Just leave you alone?"
Suddenly, Mouri Kogoro, whose brain reacted quickly, grabbed Conan's collar angrily and roared.
"Xiaolan has only been here three days, there is no way she has any enemies!"
"You hurt her!"
