Ke Xue: This police officer is too martial

Chapter 229 My name is Edogawa Kobe

A few days later, Tokyo International Airport.

After completing check-in and security check, Makino and the other two walked into the terminal hall.

Yuanzi looked at the large passenger planes outside the window excitedly, her eyes shining like a child who had never seen an airplane.

After seeing Sonoko's appearance, Makino and Ayako also chuckled and shook their heads. They had long been accustomed to Sonoko's personality and her slightly childish and eccentric behavior.

In fact, both Makino and Ayako admire Sonoko's character very much.

Although Yuanzi always appears to be careless on the surface, she still retains her unique innocence and sincerity in her heart, and from time to time she can show qualities such as "loyalty" and "carefulness".

After sitting down, Makino took out a [Yacht Magazine] from his bag and began to read it carefully.

Ayako leaned quietly on Makino, and they watched and discussed together with Makino while laughing.

Not long after, Yuanzi, whose excitement had subsided a little, walked back to Makino and the other man.

After seeing the magazines in the hands of the two men, Yuanzi blinked curiously and said, "Yacht? Brother Longyi, why are you suddenly interested in this?"

Makino looked up at Yuanzi and chuckled, "Actually, I've always wanted to buy a yacht, but my previous job was too busy. Even if I bought one, I wouldn't have the time to take your sister out to sea~"

Ayako also smiled and nodded.

She remembered that Makino had said something similar before, but at that time Makino was very busy at work. Every day he was either in meetings or at the crime scene investigating and solving cases.

Hearing what Makino said, Yuanzi frowned and said, "That's not right, Brother Longyi, I remember you seem to have a ship? Besides, I remember Dad and the others..."

Before Yuanzi could finish, Makino shook his head and said, "Yes, there is, but the experience of a yacht and a ship is still somewhat different. I want to buy a yacht of similar size that one person can easily drive.

Sailing, cooking, fishing, diving, motorboat... I want to take your sister to experience this kind of leisure time on the sea~"

Hearing what Makino said, Sonoko's eyes lit up again, and a beautiful picture seemed to appear in her mind.

After a moment, Yuanzi clenched his fist and said excitedly: "I fully agree! Please take me with you when the time comes!"

Before Makino could speak, Ayako covered her mouth and laughed, "Look, Ryuichi, I was right, Sonoko must be interested too~"

Makino stroked Ayako's hair and looked at Sonoko with a smile: "Of course you can, but I have to take your sister out for some fun first~"

Hearing this, Sonoko immediately turned her gaze back and forth between Makino and Ayako, squinted her eyes, smiled and nodded, "Of course~ How could I possibly disturb your newlywed life~"

Although she was already used to her sister's "frankness", after hearing these words, Ayako's face couldn't help but become a little redder.

After chatting about the topic of yachts for a while, Makino looked down at his phone, said something simple to Ayako, then stood up and walked towards the bathroom in the distance.

As soon as he walked into the men's bathroom, Makino saw "Conan" standing in front of the sink mirror.

After seeing Makino's figure in the mirror, Conan, who had turned back into Kudo Shinichi, immediately turned around and said, "Officer Makino, can this medicine really last for a week?"

Makino glanced at the monitoring bracelet on Kudo Shinichi's wrist and shook his head, "That's just a theoretical time. We need to analyze the specific situation. By the way, don't you think there's anything wrong with taking the antidote for traveling?"

Hearing this, two figures appeared in Kudo Shinichi's mind, one was Sherlock Holmes and the other was Xiaolan.

After a moment of silence, Kudo Shinichi nodded and said, "I know it's dangerous to do this, but I've made up my mind!"

Seeing this, Makino sighed softly: "Rather than this, you should think about how to quickly solve the upcoming case."

"The upcoming case?" Kudo Shinichi asked puzzledly.

"Huh? Haven't you noticed yet? Wherever you are, there will be cases, and London is no exception." Makino waved his hand casually, turned and left the bathroom.

Kudo Shinichi looked at Makino's back and spread his hands, saying, "Come on, how is this possible? Really, what do you mean by 'wherever I am, there will be a case'? I didn't expect Officer Makino to make such a joke~"

……

Inside the first-class cabin of a plane bound for London.

As Makino, Ayako and the other two walked to their seats, they heard two familiar voices.

"Wow! The first class cabin is so spacious!"

"Really? How rich is that lady?"

"..."

After hearing these two voices, Sonoko quickly turned her head to the left and said, "Xiaolan?! Are you and uncle going to London too? What a coincidence!"

At this time, Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro also noticed Makino and the other two standing nearby.

"Sonoko? Makino-san and Ayako-san?!"

"Makino? You guys are going to London too?"

"..."

When they learned that Makino and the other two were seated right next to them, both Xiaolan and Maori Kogoro showed happy smiles on their faces.

Is there anything more joyful and surprising than running into a friend on a plane while traveling abroad?

After sitting down, Yuanzi looked at Xiaolan beside her and said, "By the way, Xiaolan, are you going to London to solve a case or to travel?"

"Actually, the reason we can come to London this time is thanks to my father catching Venus!" Xiaolan said with a smile.

"Venus?" Sonoko asked doubtfully.

Xiaolan nodded and said, "It's a cute white kitten. When we were eating in the restaurant, my father accidentally caught a foreign lady's kitten.

To express her gratitude, the lady named Diana specially invited us to visit London and even covered our round-trip air tickets and accommodation expenses! ”

Before Sonoko could speak, Maori Kogoro blushed and said, "Xiaolan! You're describing too much detail!"

Xiaolan glanced at Maori Kogoro casually, covered her mouth and laughed, "What's there to be embarrassed about? The reason why the lady named Diana invited us to play was because she found out that you, Dad, are the 'Famous Detective Maori Kogoro', right?"

Hearing this, Kogoro Maori looked at Makino embarrassedly and touched the back of his head.

At this moment, Makino chuckled and said, "Come to think of it, the name 'Diana' is a perfect match for London~"

"Matched with London? What does that mean?" Xiaolan asked puzzledly.

"Oh? Don't you know? In London, there is a royal princess named 'Diana'~" Makino chuckled.

Before Xiaolan could speak, Maori Kogoro's eyes widened: "What? Princess?!"

Ayako on the side also nodded and said: "Yes, I remember that she seemed to be the wife of the current king, and gave birth to two princes named..."

After listening to Ayako's science popularization, Kogoro Mouri and Ran blinked and looked at each other.

Yuanzi also laughed and said, "Hahaha, maybe Xiaolan, you guys met this princess~"

"How is that possible~" Xiaolan smiled and shook her head.

At this moment, Yuanzi suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, Xiaolan, where is the kid with glasses? I feel like something is missing."

Xiaolan shook her head regretfully and said, "It seems that Conan made an appointment with his classmates and Professor Agasa to go camping, so he didn't come with us."

Maori Kogoro folded his hands and laughed, "Really? Kids are just kids. They can't even tell which is more fun, camping or traveling abroad~"

Xiaolan looked at Maori Kogoro helplessly, then turned her head to look at Makino and the others beside her: "By the way, Sonoko, what are you going to do in London?" "..."

At the same time, in the economy class of the plane.

Kudo Shinichi, wearing sunglasses, looked out the window excitedly.

"When should I call Xiaolan and pretend to meet her by chance in London? Wait... I should go to the Sherlock Holmes Museum on Baker Street first!"

……

A dozen hours later, London.

After walking out of the airport, Xiaolan smiled and took Sonoko's arm: "Sonoko, do you have any plans? How about we go sightseeing in London together? I have always wanted to see London's 'Big Ben' and 'London Eye' with my own eyes!"

Just as Sonoko was about to nod, she suddenly thought of something and quickly looked at Makino and Ayako behind her.

After noticing Sonoko's gaze, Makino smiled and looked at Ayako beside him, and slowly said: "Ayako, is there any place you want to go?"

Ayako smiled and shook her head: "Since it's such a coincidence, let's go together. I also want to see Big Ben and the London Eye~"

Hearing this, Makino turned his head to look at Xiaolan and Sonoko, and nodded with a smile.

Anyway, they had just eaten, and London was not famous for its food and snacks. Instead of tasting the local specialty fish and chips, it would be better to visit London's famous attractions.

Seeing this, Xiaolan and Sonoko immediately smiled and nodded.

Maori Kogoro on the side looked down at his watch and nodded, "Well, anyway, we just had dinner on the plane, and there is still some time before the dinner we agreed to with the lady."

"Then let's go see Big Ben first!" Sonoko raised her hands.

"..."

Soon after, on the banks of the Thames, next to the Elizabeth Tower (Big Ben).

As an iconic building in London, most tourists visiting London will choose to take a look at this huge clock tower.

Ayako and the other two were admiring the clock tower in front of them and taking pictures of each other.

Makino and Kogoro Mori stood not far away, looking up at the giant clock tower in front of them with calm eyes.

After looking up at the tower for a few seconds, Maori Kogoro whispered, "By the way, Makino, I did some careful research on London before leaving. There is a tavern near Hyde Park that is very famous locally! It is said that you can drink that very rare whiskey there. Do you have time tomorrow? How about we go there tomorrow..."

Makino: "?"

As a famous detective, is this what you mean by a careful investigation?
Investigating a famous local tavern?

After a moment of silence, Makino chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Forget it. If Xiaolan knew that you, Mr. Maori, came all the way to London just to drink..."

After hearing what Makino said, Kogoro Mori immediately took back what he had said.

That's true. If Xiaolan knew that I invited Makino to drink in London...

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but tremble.

Seeing this, Makino chuckled and said, "It's okay, Mr. Maori, although you can't drink here, you can buy some good wine to drink back home~"

Hearing this, Maori Kogoro's eyes also flashed with light, and he clapped his hands immediately: "You are right! I remember there is a store specializing in selling alcohol near the hotel we are staying in! Let's drink when we get back!"

Makino: "..."

Makino looked at Kogoro Mori who was excited beside him and frowned secretly.

He remembered that Kogoro Mori should not be so "addicted to alcohol". Could it be that because he always drank good wine with him, he became more addicted to alcohol?
Soon after, everyone arrived at the London Eye again.

As the largest observation wheel in London, it is quite spectacular when viewed from a close distance.

Maybe because it was not the tourist season, there were not many people riding the Ferris wheel.

Makino and his companions immediately decided to take a ride on the Ferris wheel, which would allow them to overlook the beautiful scenery below from a high altitude and take good photos.

In response, Kogoro Mori immediately stated that he did not like to participate in such childish activities, and righteously refused to ride the Ferris wheel with Makino and others.

Since they had already known that Kogoro Mouri was afraid of heights, Makino and the others did not say much before getting on the Ferris wheel, thus preserving the last bit of dignity for Kogoro Mouri.

……

At the same time, outside the Sherlock Holmes Museum.

Kudo Shinichi leaned over and looked at the blond boy in front of him, chuckled and said, "If you don't mind, can you tell me about the case you just mentioned? Actually... I am a disciple of Sherlock Holmes, Glass~"

The blond boy looked at Kudo Shinichi in front of him with a questioning look, with confusion and surprise in his eyes.

Seeing that the blond boy was obviously shaken, Kudo Shinichi explained in detail how he had deduced that his name was Glass.

After listening to Kudo Shinichi's reasoning, the blond boy's expression changed from confusion to admiration.

Kudo Shinichi pressed on: "Okay, can you tell me what happened now?"

The blond boy nodded and said, "After lunch, I was watching the winning players practice at the tennis courts. Suddenly, a stranger told me that someone was going to be murdered somewhere in London, right in front of my eyes."

At this point, the boy took out a piece of paper from his pocket. "The man asked me to tell the police that the content on this paper is the 'Apocalypse' he wrote. He also said that if there are no clues, he should let me find Sherlock Holmes, so I came here."

After taking a look at the paper handed over by the boy, Kudo Shinichi's expression immediately became extremely solemn.

At first he thought it was just a small matter, but after seeing the code-like "Apocalypse" in his hand, his thoughts immediately changed.

The stranger the boy saw might actually be...

At this moment, a blond man quickly ran up behind the blond boy and said nervously, "Finally found you! Don't run around everywhere, your sister's competition is about to start!"

The blond boy glanced at the blond man behind him and introduced: "This is my sister's coach Ares."

Before the little boy could finish, the blond man anxiously pulled the little boy's hand and said, "Okay, let's go!"

The little boy looked at Kudo Shinichi hesitantly: "But..."

Kudo Shinichi noticed the boy's hesitation and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will hand it over to the police. And since that person asked you to hand this note to the police, it means that he will give us time to think about the contents on it."

The little boy nodded and took out his cell phone from his pocket: "Okay, let's exchange phone numbers. By the way, my name is Apollo Glass, what's your name, big brother?"

Kudo Shinichi opened his mouth twice in a row but failed to utter his own name: "Jiang...er...Gong...er..."

The little boy named Apollo looked at Kudo Shinichi in front of him with confusion in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Kudo Shinichi blinked helplessly and said, "My name is Hattori Heiji."

"Really? I'll remember that, Hattori Heiji-brother!" Apollo and Kudo Shinichi waved their hands, turned around and got into the car with the blond man.

Only when the car carrying the little boy drove away did Kudo Shinichi sigh helplessly.

The next moment, he looked at the note in his hand and muttered, "Okay, tell Makino about this... eh? Wait?!"

At this moment, he suddenly remembered what Makino had said to him in the airport bathroom before, and froze in place for a moment.

"Could it be... it's really because of me..."
