Conan's grammatical investigator

Chapter 1303 Sera Masumi: Damn it...

Balabala, Balabala...

After Conan attributed Qin Zhibo's reasoning results to "Kudo Shinichi" and told Sera Masumi, the expression on Sera's face gradually changed from calm to shock.

She originally thought that Conan wanted to sneak out of the stadium and go with Kudo Shinichi to deal with an attack that was about to happen somewhere in London.

But she never expected...

"what?!"

"Is this the final location of the code expression?"

Sera Masumi made a surprised sound.

Conan, who was standing opposite her, quickly made a shushing gesture.

But in fact, this action is unnecessary because almost no one here can understand the Japanese they speak.

Seeing that Sera had regained his composure, Conan continued his reasoning.

"Just now, I noticed that Minerva Glass was not in a good condition..."

"When the serve was announced on the big screen during the break, I understood."

"Minieba is using her serve to write Braille on the court."

"Braille?" Shira wondered, but then he remembered that this was the name of Braille.

Because blind people have limited vision, a special type of text is designed using tactile perception.

Minerba's mother is blind, so it is normal for Minerba to know Braille.

But how come this little boy can also...

Sera's dark green eyes glanced at Conan below, and her suspicion grew even stronger.

"The Braille content is H, E, L, P..."

"It means help."

After listening to Conan's explanation, Sera Masumi nodded in understanding.

"That's it, I understand."

"When I was researching Hades's information earlier, I found out that in order to raise money for his mother's surgery, Hades invested his last funds in a tennis match."

"As a result, the player he bet on performed poorly in the final stage, causing him to lose all his money."

"This contestant is Minerva Glass."

Sera told Mari the information she learned from her yesterday.

After understanding the motive, Conan became more certain that the murderer's target was Minerva.

But the problem is that Minerva is playing in an empty stadium, and even Hades can't directly threaten her with a bomb.

But even so, Minerva still used Braille to send a distress signal to the outside world.

This means that Hades should have threatened Minerva through a letter before going on stage.

If only I knew what it was about...

After a brief thought, Conan told Sera Masumi about his plan.

"Although we now know Hades's target, we can't easily call the police."

"This guy blew up the hospital before the code was solved, so we can't let him know..."

"How about this, I'll find a way to tell Minerva that we know she's been threatened."

"Sister Sera, please get as close to the front of the stands as possible and check if there is anything suspicious in the Minerva player rest area."

"Oh! Leave it to me~"

Sera was very easy to talk to and immediately accepted Conan's proposal.

Being with Conan made her feel as if she was back on the beach 10 years ago, watching the boy solve murders in his own way.

Just like that, the two returned to the entrance.

When they reached the middle of the steps, the two went their separate ways.

Conan stopped and stood there.

Masumi Sera walked along the aisle in the middle of the area and approached Minerva's rest area.

At this time, the break between sets has ended and the second set is about to begin.

Minerva threw aside the towel she used to wipe her sweat and walked out of the dugout onto the court.

That delicate face looked very heavy, and he kept moving the tennis ball in his hand, making it jump up and down the lawn.

The heavy expression on her face was not because of the lagging situation in the game, but because of the pressure Hades brought to her.

In order to prevent a bloodbath from happening the moment the game ended, she could only delay the game while trying to use the serve opportunity to write Braille on the lawn.

But even though there were tens of thousands of spectators, no one could understand her position and her inner thoughts.

At this moment, she was like a lone warrior, trying her best to fight against the bloodthirsty demon.

But even so, she knew that she was just making her last struggle.

There is no need for ordinary people to know Braille.

Blind people know about Braille, but they will not come to watch tennis matches in person, let alone see the Braille they type with tennis balls.

This way of asking for help is a paradox in itself.

Even if a sighted person on the court happens to recognize Braille, it is unlikely that he or she will immediately associate the Braille with the landing point of their serve.

Such conditions are too harsh.

Only Sherlock Holmes can come to me and save me from the water and fire...

But you are, after all, just a character in a book... someone like Sherlock Holmes.

Minerva raised the corner of her mouth into a resigned smile and threw the tennis ball high into the air.

Just as she was about to swing the racket to hit the ball, a child's voice came from the steps of the stands not far away.

"Minerva! Let me help you!"

"I am a disciple of Sherlock Holmes!"

Minerva stared at the Asian-looking boy with glasses and was instantly shocked.

She was distracted for a moment and forgot to swing the racket, and the tennis ball fell directly onto the lawn.

  Sherlock Holmes's...disciple?

At this moment, Masumi Sera, who was already approaching the front area of ​​the stands, heard the shouting and suddenly looked back.

Conan was seen standing on the stairs with his arms raised high, looking cute and harmless.

At this moment, Sera Masumi's eyes were stunned.

She felt as if she had really returned to the beach that summer and met the "magician" who could make the serious Xiu Ge laugh.

Looks like, so much like...

  Why are they so similar?

Masumi Sera really couldn't understand why this boy named Conan looked so much like Kudo Shinichi at that time.

Are these two people twins?

No, the age difference is too big.

But why are they so similar?

  I really want to know the reason!

……

Inside a black Hummer off-road vehicle, Vermouth's eyes tilted towards the tablet.

The tablet is playing the official live broadcast of the Wimbledon tennis tournament.

In addition, on another display device on Miyano Elena's side, there was a picture aimed at Mao Lilan and others in the audience.

This is not the official anchor screen of the show.

Instead, it was filmed by someone sitting in the audience with a DV.

The purpose was to test Vermouth's loyalty and deliberately let Vermouth see the bomb exploding in the crowd.

Originally Angel and cool guy were both sitting in their seats.

But for a while, Vermouth didn't know what was going on, and the two people in the picture left.

At that time, Vermouth hoped that the two of them would leave the court and never come back. But things did not go as planned, and soon after, Angel came back alone.

That cool guy is gone...

Just as Vermouth was glancing at the screen on the tablet out of the corner of her eye, something unusual suddenly occurred in the official live broadcast.

The live broadcast suddenly turned to a little boy standing in the middle of the aisle of the stands.

The bespectacled boy raised his hands and uttered the childish remark.

"Minerva! Let me help you!"

"I am a disciple of Sherlock Holmes!"

However, no one took the child's innocent words seriously.

The entire stadium immediately erupted in laughter, and the stadium, which had been extremely serious a second ago, was now filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Even the person holding the DV camera let out a creepy sneer, with a hint of contempt in his laughter.

But when looking at the so-called child, there was a hint of surprise on Vermouth's face.

  Cool guy, why is he there?

Could it be that he has discovered something is wrong?

Vermouth's eyes were fixed on the screen on the tablet.

Although she was extremely anxious, she could not show the slightest bit of abnormality on her face.

Otherwise, if Elena Miyano who was standing next to them saw it, it would definitely get to the ears of “that adult”.

"Oh?"

Miyano Elena was also staring at the screen on the tablet, with a meaningful smile on her face.

Vermouth glanced at her sideways and didn't respond.

However, Miyano Elena took the initiative to talk to her.

"Vermouth, do you know?"

“In fact, the new drug developed by the organization, APTX-4869, may not be 100% lethal.”

Hearing this, Vermouth's heart trembled suddenly, and she glanced at Miyano Elena, pretending to be calm and replied: "Why do you say that?"

"Hasn't everyone who has taken that drug been confirmed dead so far?"

Miyano Elena smiled calmly and rubbed the index finger and thumb of her right hand together. "I just found out about this recently. Someone who once took this medicine seems to be still alive..."

"Really?" Vermouth continued to pretend to be calm and asked, "Will this happen?"

Having been lurking in Mihua Town for a while, Vermouth certainly knew that there was a chance that APTX-4869 would not be fatal.

The examples in front of us are Conan and Haibara Ai.

Just to protect Conan's current identity, she has not chosen to report the matter to the organization.

  Could it be that when the organization was investigating the experience in Mihua Town, they also found out that drug A can make people smaller?

Has Conan's identity been exposed?

However, in the face of Vermouth's temptation, the carriage fell silent again.

Miyano Elena hesitated to speak and did not say anything further.

But this also further sounded the alarm in Vermouth's heart, and the hidden effects of drug A seemed to be gradually revealed.

But fortunately, Elena Miyano only said that drug A might not kill people, and did not say that it would make people smaller.

  But if she really discovered that she had become smaller and knew that her daughter was still alive, what kind of expression would she have?

Will he help his daughter?

  Or will you stand on the side of the organization?

Miyano Elena, what exactly is your stance?

Vermouth glanced at the blonde woman next to her. The thoughts hidden behind the glowing lenses of her glasses made her increasingly confused.

It should be said that from the beginning to the end, Elena Miyano was a mysterious woman in the organization.

Just 17 years ago, Vermouth confirmed that this woman was terrifying.

Not only is her background a mystery, but her behavior is also very fragmented.

Although she was just a research assistant of Atsushi Miyano, she was given the code name "Sulli" by "that adult".

On the one hand, she tried hard to love the children she gave birth to.

On the other hand, she dominated and abused her husband like a slave.

Until all the value is squeezed out of the man, just like a female praying mantis eats a male praying mantis.

Miyano Elena...

  Who are you?

Which one is your true self?

……

On the Wimbledon tennis court.

As the referee shouted "Quiet please", the laughter in the audience gradually subsided.

Minerva on the field looked at Conan in the stands, and suddenly remembered that her younger brother told her after returning home that there was a kid wearing glasses who was very smart and was a disciple of Sherlock Holmes, who could help solve the code issue.

Could it be him?

Could it be that he had understood my message and wanted to help me?

In that case, we can only take a gamble.

"You are so young, can you help me?"

Minerva tried to speak in a joking and light tone to Conan in the stands.

But only she herself knew that this was the only person on whom she could depend on for the next hour or so.

It’s just a little funny that the other party is just a child.

Faced with the hidden meaning in Minerva's words, Conan knew that he couldn't act too relaxed.

Otherwise, it would alert Hades who was secretly watching from somewhere.

So he spread his hands and made a "wise look", with his eyeballs moving closer to the middle bridge of his nose.

"certainly……"

"Hahaha……"

When the people around saw Conan's "wise" eyes, they all laughed and no longer took him seriously.

However, they do not understand that this wave of operations is called great wisdom appearing foolish.

After seeing what Conan did, Minerva was a little surprised, but she didn't think any more about it.

Now the fate can only rely on this child.

She picked up the tennis ball from the ground, threw it high up again, and hit it towards the center area of ​​her vision.

Next, Minerba hit the ball several times in a row.

Every ball she hit hit the target area she had in mind.

Conan stood on a high place with his hands in his pockets, his eyes fixed on Minerva's hitting point, and simultaneously analyzing it in his brain.

In just over ten minutes, Miniba relied on frequent serving opportunities in the serving game to hit the letters GAME and SET.

On the other side, Sera gradually got closer to the court.

This is the position of the stands closest to the stadium. Further ahead is the media shooting area. If you enter, you will definitely be stopped by security.

She stared at Minerva's preparation area, carefully observing if there was anything unusual.

Towels, ok.

Blanket, normal.

Aquarius, normal.

  Eh?

Suddenly, Sera narrowed her eyes and saw a red wrist thrown under the chair where Minerva was resting.

There seemed to be a note stuck inside the wrist.

It’s just that the distance is a bit far and I can’t see clearly what is written on the note.

That should be it...the threat Hades gave to Minerva.

Just as Sera was about to go back and tell Conan about this discovery, the wristband lying flat on the ground suddenly moved.

For a moment, Sera was stunned.

  what?

Damn it...
