Conan Rick's Investigator

After Conan, Kuroba Kaito and Hakuba Tani finished their meal at a French restaurant in town, they returned to the reception room of Blychester University.

By

There is an eight-hour time difference between London and Japan, and the researchers at the White Horse Research Institute have not yet officially started work, so it will take some time to collect data.

During this period, the three of them were sitting on the sofa in the living room, enjoying English afternoon tea.

"Drink, why don't you drink?"

"This is Darjeeling black tea, which I had my servants buy from China. It's truly top-quality..."

The white horse detective crossed his legs leisurely and held an exquisite tea cup with two fingers. His leisurely expression was no different from that of a noble prince.

But compared to Hakuba Tan, Conan and Kuroba Kaito sitting on the sofa opposite looked a little cramped, neither sitting nor standing.

"Haha, we don't need that. We already drank enough in the restaurant!"

"Right, Conan?" Kuroba Kaito turned and looked at Conan.

Conan also forced a smile and nodded, "Yeah!"

The reason why the two of them were so nervous was because Baima Tan asked them many sensitive questions at the dinner table just now.

For example, when facing Kudo Shinichi, he asked questions such as "Why did you disappear for so long?", "There are rumors that you are in trouble, is that true?", "What is your purpose in coming to the UK?"

Facing Conan, he asked, "What is your relationship with Kudo Shinichi?", "Who did you come to England with this time?", "Where is your guardian?"

Detective Hakuba used his sharp prisoner interrogation skills, and made Conan and Kuroba Kaito sweat.

In order to make a lie look more real, people often need to make up for it with countless lies.

Fortunately, the two of them had prepared some standard answers in advance to deal with Mao Lilan, and finally finished the meal without any danger.

Now they no longer dared to drink the black tea in front of them, for fear that Bai Ma Tan had added "truth serum" or something in it.

And the fact is just as they thought, Bai Ma Tan's suspicion has not been dispelled.

He was holding the tray in one hand and holding the tea cup in the other hand. He seemed to be sipping afternoon tea, but in fact he was looking at the two people with dark eyes.

Could these two be distant relatives?

Don't be kidding, they are obviously two people who can't be compared with each other...

That Kudo Shinichi should be Kuroba Kaito.

I just don’t know why, but Kuroba Kaito pretends to be Kudo Shinichi and acts with this kid.

Why is it?

And why did they come to the University of Brightchester?

Just when the conference room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, the buzzing of the phone suddenly broke the silence.

Conan felt the vibration in his trouser pocket, and his body trembled slightly.

The white horse detective sitting opposite immediately caught this detail and secretly thought that the opportunity had come.

"Conan, aren't you going to answer the phone?"

"Maybe it's your guardian calling, maybe worried about your current situation..."

“Huh? I…”

Conan's expression was a little embarrassed, because he knew clearly that in his left trouser pocket was the "large" phone of Kudo Shinichi.

At this time, Kuroba Kaito next to him also realized from Conan's embarrassment that the ringing phone was for "himself".

"Conan, is my phone ringing?"

"Yeah! It's Shinichi-nii's phone ringing!"

Conan also reacted quickly. He took out the phone from his trouser pocket and handed it to Kuroba Kaito's hand.

Kuroba Kaito also took the opportunity to look across at Hakuba, "This kid was curious about my phone, so I let him keep it when I went to the bathroom..."

Detective Bai Ma frowned slightly, not sure whether he believed his somewhat clumsy lies.

However, Kuroba Kaito still answered the phone and said to the voice on the other end: "Moshi Moshi..."

"Shinichi, I'm Ran."

Mao Lilan on the other end of the phone did not ask why

Why was the call so slow to be answered? Instead, he got straight to the point, "We've found a key clue left by the murderer near the cake-shaped St. Bride's Church..."

"It was a piece of paper, wrapped in a plastic bag, with the word 'asdalboheia' handwritten on it."

Kuroba Kaito on the other end subconsciously echoed this unfamiliar word.

"Asdal... Boheia?"

It doesn't matter that this echo, it instantly attracted the attention of the two Fu fans present.

Conan's expression immediately became serious, knowing that the secret signal was making progress.

The White Horse Detective on the other side also put down his tea cup, curious as to why he mentioned Sherlock Holmes' famous novel on the phone.

"Yeah, I remember this isn't the story you always told me about, A Scandal in Bohemia, where Irene Adler comes on the scene, right?"

“Um… yeah, yeah.”

There were a few drops of sweat on Kuroba Kaito's forehead, but he was actually quite nervous inside.

"Then Shinichi, tell me what to do next?" Mao Lilan asked seriously: "How can we find the clues left by the murderer..."

This question completely stumped Kuroba Kaito.

Even if he had read Sherlock Holmes before, he had long forgotten the things he wasn't interested in.

Not to mention using the stories in Sherlock Holmes as clues to deduce some bullshit clues.

“Um, well…”

"The clue is..."

For a moment, Kuroba Kaito couldn't say Ziwu Maoyou.

The short Conan was so anxious that he was sweating, but under the sight of the white horse detective, he couldn't accept the call openly.

At this moment, Hakuba Tan approached from behind and took the phone from Kuroba Kaito's hand.

"Whoever's on the other end of the line, could you tell me your problem? Maybe I can help you..."

Mao Lilan on the other side of the phone was surprised by the new voice on the phone, and asked the other party's identity in confusion.

Hakuba glanced at Kuroba Kaito, who was trying to retrieve his phone, and said with a smile, "Let's just consider ourselves Kudo Shinichi's friends..."

"What questions do you have? I can answer any question you have about Sherlock Holmes."

Here, Mao Lilan just regarded the White Horse Detective as someone who worked with Kudo Shinichi, and without thinking much, he directly told the current situation.

As soon as Mao Lilan finished speaking, Baima Tan thought for a few seconds, and a confident smile immediately appeared on his lips.

"I see. I understand..."

"I thought it was a difficult problem, but it turns out to be just a small puzzle that can be solved easily."

"But even a simple puzzle like this seems to be unsolvable by a man known as the Kanto High School Detective..."

Hakuba glanced sideways at Kuroba Kaito who was standing next to him, obviously irritating him as a fake.

Regarding this, the deflated Kuroba Kaito did not dare to speak, because he really did not know.

But at this moment, Sera Masumi, who had been listening to Mao Lilan's ear, couldn't bear it anymore.

Angrily, she snatched the phone from Mao Lilan's hand and yelled inside.

"I won't allow you to insult my idol!"

Chapter 1285: Kuroba Kaito rides on two boats?

"I won't allow you to insult my idol!"

Sera Masumi yelled into the phone angrily.

This move shocked Mao Lilan, Mao Li Kogoro, Dr. A Li, and Detective Hakuba on the other side of the phone.

Including Kuroba Kaito and Conan, they all heard this somewhat broken roar.

Baima Tan looked a little surprised, because he had met Mao Lilan before during the Dusk Villa incident.

In his impression, Mao Lilan was a gentle girl, at least she would not say such words.

"Who are you?"

"I'm Sera Masumi! Who are you?" Sera was still angry and asked into the phone.

Sera?

Bai Ma Tan frowned slightly, and for the first time his mind thought of this special surname, which was the surname of the suspect just confirmed.

"I'm Bai Ma Tan..." Bai Ma Tan said his name neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Hearing this, Sera raised her eyebrows slightly and replied with a hint of sarcasm, "Oh~ I was wondering who was so arrogant, it turns out it's that high school detective who often wears the same clothes as Sherlock Holmes and goes in and out of murder scenes..."

"I heard that you couldn't catch Kaito Kid in Japan, so you returned to England in despair, right?"

Upon hearing this, several black lines appeared on Bai Ma Tan's forehead.

Kuroba Kaito secretly rejoiced inwardly, hehe~ This is all my credit!

Although I am not good at solving problems, creating problems is my strength!

Faced with Sera's sarcasm, Baima Tan was worthy of being a young man who received an aristocratic education, and he did not get angry with Sera.

He quickly suppressed his displeasure and smiled into the phone, "Since you believe your deduction abilities are superior to mine, why did you call me to ask for the answer to this puzzle?"

"It only took me a few seconds to solve the puzzle. The answer is..."

Before Hakuba Tan could finish his words, Sera put her mouth to the phone receiver and said, "Tsk~ Who needs your advice!"

"I can see through this simple puzzle right away. Isn't it..."

Sera Masumi did not tell lies, and she had indeed seen through the answer.

Although she is not considered a senior Sherlock Holmes fan based on her knowledge of Sherlock Holmes, her basic reasoning skills alone are enough to solve the puzzle.

However, just when she was about to tell the answer first, Kuroba Kaito on the side finally put on the wireless headphones handed over by Conan, and his smart reasoning and IQ took over the high ground again.

"The reason I don't know is because I only see with my eyes, not with my heart..."

“That’s what Holmes says to Watson in A Scandal in Bohemia, when he’s showing Watson a pink envelope.”

"Back to the puzzle. Since the murderer wrapped the letter in plastic, it means the letter needs to be wetted with water to reveal its true contents."

Kuroba Kaito conveyed the voice of Conan through the wireless earphones, and then used his superb acting skills to completely retell it.

For a moment, Detective Baima couldn't tell the truth from the lie.

what's the situation?

I just wanted to use this matter to force Kuroba Kaito to reveal his identity, but in the end, he forced him to show his reasoning ability?

Even memorized the lines from Sherlock Holmes?

Magic genius, reasoning genius...which one is your true face?

Kuroba Kaito...

On the other side of the phone, Sera also vaguely heard the confident voice of "Kudo Shinichi" and shouted happily.

"Haha! That's what I told you~"

"That person will definitely be able to solve this mystery!"

At this time, she was a little too excited and realized that her behavior was a little out of line.

She turned to look at the people around her, all looking at her with doubts on their faces.

"Majun, did you know Shinichi before?" asked Ran Mouri.

"Forehead……"

Sera looked a little embarrassed and quickly handed the phone back to Mao Lilan's hand with a smile.
