Conan Rick's Investigator

"He truly lives up to his name, 'Hades, the God of the Underworld'..."

Chapter 1277 When the "God of Death" comes...

"B-blow it up?"

Maori and his daughter showed shocked expressions in unison.

Is the popcorn specialty "Eight Eggs" also popular in London, England?

Sera Masumi nodded. "Yes, it's said that Hades met a woman named Hestia during his escape. She was a down-and-out mercenary and a bomb expert."

"She helped a lot in Hades' revenge..."

"Two months ago, the police found the female suspect's hideout, but she blew herself up in the building and died..."

As Masumi Sera spoke, she recalled the information her mother Mari told her last night.

MI6 is also investigating Hades because he caused mass casualties in London.

According to MI6's subsequent investigation at the site of the Hestia bombing, it is believed that she is likely to be still alive.

At this time, Maori Kogoro asked in confusion: "But now that the identity of the criminal is known, the police should be able to arrest Hades quickly, right?"

Sera explained seriously, "This is the tricky part..."

"Hades has undergone numerous plastic surgeries while on the run, and has already gone through several different looks."

"That's exactly what makes him dangerous. His real target is most likely the UK, where gambling and gambling are legal..."

The United Kingdom is a country that has adopted a completely relaxed policy towards the gambling and gambling industries.

After Hades kills everyone involved in his mother's death, he will probably transfer his hatred to the entire country.

Sera's analysis surprised Ran Maoli who was standing next to her. She asked, "Majun, your analysis is so professional..."

"Just like a detective."

"Huh?" Sera was stunned, then turned away, scratching his head with a smile. "Really? I was just explaining the contents of the news report..."

In fact, she had considered using her reasoning skills to become a high school detective, but there were not many cases in London, and Scotland Yard alone was enough to cope with daily life.

In addition, Scotland Yard also has an official detective who is also a high school student. Except for gender, the other settings are the same as his own.

The most important thing is that Mary is not allowed to be too ostentatious in England, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of bad people.

The "bad guys" Mary mentioned were naturally the "organization" that forced her family to leave Britain.

organize……

When the word "organization" came to mind, Sera Masumi's eyes revealed a stern look unique to the Akai family.

It was also yesterday that she learned from Mary for the first time that what her father was fighting was such a behemoth...

"Mmmm."

"Anyway, all we can do now is decipher that 'code'."

"I went home yesterday and gave my mother the code. She actually thought of a possibility..."

Sera showed the photo of the note again on his mobile phone and explained it to the Maori father and daughter and Dr. Agasa.

"Actually, we were all wrong at first. The code on this piece of paper isn't meant to represent a single location, but multiple locations..."

"You see, the first line, 'The roaring bells woke me from my sleep,' actually refers to the Big Ben, which is famous throughout London and even the world."

"Big Ben is located north of the Palace of Westminster and chimes every hour according to Greenwich Mean Time..."

"The second line, 'I am a long-nosed wizard who lives in a castle,' has no clear meaning at this point."

“But the third line, ‘The only thing I can fill my stomach with is boiled eggs as cold as corpses,’ probably refers to London City Hall, because the building looks like an egg placed at an angle…”

After Sera gave the code to Mary last night, Mary guessed the meaning of the code after just thinking about it for a moment.

After all, Mary's family, the Sera family, was in decline.

Mary was considered a family of nobles in the UK and had lived on this land for generations, which made her very familiar with everything in London.

Mary relied on her impression of London to guess the locations in the code.

It's just that based on these locations, it's impossible to guess where Hades plans to take action, so Sera can only let Sera walk around during the day to see if he can find any new clues.

Seriang finished his analysis and arranged the next itinerary.

"Since the code mentioned Big Ben first, let's go there first!"

……

On the other side, Conan and Kuroba Kaito arrived at Brightchester University in a special car.

Along the way, Conan was catching up on his sleep in the back seat. When he felt the car suddenly stop, he lazily got up.

He held the front seat with his hands and looked out the window.

Behind the ancient campus gate, there is a lush and long avenue.

Oak trees are planted on both sides of the avenue, and in the middle there are groups of students strolling on the road, holding various books in their hands.

"There are too many students up ahead, so it's inconvenient to take the bus. Why don't you go inside and look for them? I'll wait here for you."

The driver in the driver's seat said to Kuroba Kaito in English.

Kuroba Kaito thought the same thing. Seeing that there were quite a lot of people in this school, it was probably difficult to find a parking spot after entering.

"Then thank you for your help... Come on, kid, let's get off the car."

Kuroba Kaito has completely adapted to his identity as "Kudo Shinichi" and directly calls Conan a kid.

This made Conan roll his eyes in displeasure, but there was nothing he could do about it.

After the two got off the car, they walked straight forward in the direction of the main road, looking around curiously as they walked.

Unlike at night, the University of Brightchester during the day is no different from an ordinary university.

Students chatting and laughing were walking on the road. Although they were holding heavy books in their hands, they could not feel the pressure of schoolwork at all from their faces.

This atmosphere made Conan and Kuroba Kaito a little distracted for a while.

After all, the two of them are about to reach the age of entering college, and their life after entering college can be used as a reference.

And with their IQs, it is certain that they will enter a world-famous university like the University of Bristol in the future.

The only thing that may limit the degree to which the two of them can advance to higher education is the degree to which their future girlfriends can advance to higher education.

The two of them just enjoyed the beautiful scenery and walked to the central area of ​​the university before they remembered that they were here to do business.

"Hey, where are you going?" Conan asked Kuroba Kaito, looking up at him.

Kuroba Kaito was startled and quickly remembered that his final destination was the Blychester Astronomical Research Institute.

He looked around and saw no map or road signs within his field of vision.

But in front of a campus bulletin board, I saw a graceful figure standing in front of the bulletin board and reading the content on it.

She has long, smooth, pale golden hair hanging behind a rice-colored windbreaker.

Although the windbreaker itself is a bit unsightly, just by the pair of slender legs in light black silk exposed from the hem of the windbreaker, you can tell that she is definitely a beauty.

Kuroba Kaito's eyes swept over that figure, and he immediately became energetic and walked forward to strike up a conversation with a relaxed pace.

"Hi, hello."

The woman who was looking at the bulletin board was startled by the sound and turned her head, just in time to see the sunny smile on the face of Kuroba Kaito next to her.

"Hello"

The woman returned the same polite smile and answered with a hint of enthusiasm.

Kuroba Kaito was a little surprised for a moment.

Because the person he struck up a conversation with was not only a beauty, but also a very outstanding beauty with glasses.

The woman is wearing a pair of round-frame glasses. Although it is said that glasses affect appearance, they are just right for this woman's oval face.

.

Beige windbreaker wrapped in a black professional dress, short skirt

The only drawback is that ***

"Hello..." Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a moment, but after all, he had seen countless women, so he quickly reacted and asked in a normal tone, "Excuse me, are you a student of this school?"

"Hmm..." The woman paused, "I guess so."

Kuroba Kaito was surprised. "What do you mean by 'sort of'?"

The woman smiled and replied, "Actually, this is my alma mater. I happened to be passing by today, so I came in to take a look..."

alma mater?

Kuroba Kaito quickly ran through the woman's appearance in his field of vision, and he did feel that she was a little more mature than the college students here.

While he was thinking about it, the woman took the initiative to ask.

"Excuse me, is there something you want to ask me?"

"And judging from your face and accent, are you Japanese?"

Kuroba Kaito was speaking English just now, but all Japanese people understand English.

Kuroba Kaito's face was shocked, and he asked in Japanese: "Do you understand Japanese?"

The woman narrowed her eyes and smiled. "A little bit. I was there for a while..."

"Oh? Really?!"

Kuroba Kaito was a little surprised.

Conan, who was standing in the back, raised his half-moon eyes and complained in his mind, why are there people who can speak Japanese around him wherever he goes?

"But, onee-san, your Japanese seems pretty good. You don't look like someone who's only been here for a while..."

Conan was complaining in his heart, but as his curiosity grew, he still had to ask.

The woman looked down at Conan, her lips also smiling, "My Japanese is good? That's probably because I stayed in Japan for quite a long time..."

"After all, I had a child in Japan..."

As soon as the woman's words came out, Kuroba Kaito's head was like a thunderbolt, shattering him with a crack of thunder.

This is already the mother of a child!

What the hell?

Conan also looked a little surprised, "But you look so young..."

"Oh? Really?"

A gust of wind blew by, and the woman smoothed her long, light-blonde hair that had been blown by the wind. "Maybe I'm just taking better care of myself..."

"By the way, you still haven't told me what you want me to do."

Kuroba Kaito, whose head was a little burnt, thought of business and quickly revealed his destination.

"...Astronomy Research Institute, huh?"

"That place is at the end of this main road. You can see it by the Severn River."

Conan and Kuroba Kaito looked at the end of the avenue at the same time. Since the distance was still quite far, they couldn't see the river or anything like that.

At this time, the woman turned and walked towards the school gate, waving her hand before leaving.

"It's time for me to leave..."

"Goodbye, my two little friends."

Looking at the woman's back walking away with her hands in her coat pockets, Conan felt a lingering strange feeling in his heart.

This woman... feels like I've seen her before somewhere?

At this moment, Kuroba Kaito was already calling him from a few meters behind.

"Hey, kid, are you going to leave or not?"

"If you don't leave, I'll leave you behind..."
