Conan Rick's Investigator

"Haha, not really, but I often watch the Japanese news and saw Kudo Shinichi..."

"Right, why don't we quickly decipher the key clues to the murderer using the correct method!"

Seriang tried to change the subject, making Mao Lilan feel even more suspicious.

It's not that Seriang doesn't want to reveal that she is the girl he met at the beach 10 years ago.

But once you tell such an old story with great emotion, the other person still says that he doesn't remember you, that would be too embarrassing!

She is Serious and pure, but also shameless!

So, Kogoro Mouri ran to a nearby store to buy a bottle of mineral water and poured the water on the paper that he had taken out of the plastic bag. The title of A Scandalin Bohemia was almost blurred, except for a capital letter "S".

“Got it!”

"It's the letter S!"

Mao Lilan told the other party on the phone the information he had obtained, and Detective White Horse, Conan, and Kaito Kuroba all heard it.

However, since Detective Baima doesn't know the entire case, he can't keep up with the version, and he doesn't know what the meaning of this answer is.

Kuroba Kaito took the phone back and said softly, "I understand, Xiaolan."

"Then I'll rely on you guys in London. Feel free to call me when you find the next clue..."

When Mao Lilan heard Kuroba Kaito's gentle and magnetic voice, the deer jumped a little and his face turned a little rosy.

"Yeah! Just leave it to me!"

After hanging up the phone, Kuroba Kaito put the phone into his trouser pocket without any hesitation in his dirty little hands.

Conan: Hello! That's my phone!

No one knows what the dwarf thinks. The only target that White Horse Detective is paying attention to right now is the man in front of him, who reads Kudo Shinichi and writes Kuroba Kaito.

Is this guy actually riding two boats?

When he was attending Ekoda High School, Hakuba Tan knew through classmates in the class that Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Aoko were childhood sweethearts and were a recognized couple in the class.

Although they themselves would not admit it at all.

But I didn't expect that Kuroba Kaito, a guy with a human face and an animal heart, already had such a good girl by his side, and he would hook up with another one.

Could it be that his purpose in disguising himself as Kudo Shinichi was to approach and pry away the girl named Mao Lilan?

Hum, I bet on the name of the White Horse family, I will definitely let you show your flaws!

"The little puzzle has been solved, but isn't it time you told me the origin of that little puzzle?"

"What case are you trying to solve in London?"

Kuroba Kaito looked at Detective Hakuba and knew that there was no need to hide anything from him. After all, London was his base and he knew everything with just one phone call.

So, Kuroba Kaito told him the whole incident, starting from when the kid named Apollo received a note from a stranger...

"Hades... I know this person."

Bai Ma Tan restrained his expression and said seriously, "He is a man with an extremely dark and twisted heart. He blamed others for his mother's death and committed a series of crimes."

"It seems he's planning to commit a crime somewhere this time, possibly to avenge his mother..."

Kuroba Kaito also reasoned along the lines of Hakuba Tan's words, "The letters we've collected from the location indicated by the code are S, T, N, A..."

"But the code text mentioned Big Ben twice, so it should be..."

Conan, who was standing at a lower position, held his chin high and said seriously, "SATAN, Satan."

Hakuba Tan, who was frowning and thinking next to him, was startled and looked at Conan in confusion.

Conan didn't realize at this time that his knowledge was already a bit beyond the scope. Fortunately, Kuroba Kaito was the first to notice something was wrong with Hakuba Tan's expression, and turned around to interrupt.

"yes!"

「s

I’ve already said this before…”

"But Satan isn't a place. The code hasn't been fully deciphered yet. It should be somewhere else, right?"

Kuroba Kaito once again took the credit for himself, which allowed Detective Hakuba to dispel his doubts a little.

Just when everyone in the conference room was thinking about the secret code, Detective Baima's phone suddenly rang.

He walked to the side, picked up the phone, and after responding to the other end with a few "Yeah, yeah, got it", he hung up.

Hakuba reached into his pocket and took out his phone. He walked over to Kuroba Kaito and Conan and said sternly, "There's no information on 'Sera Elena' in Japan."

"It's possible that she's living in hiding in Japan..."

Baima Tan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he actually had other thoughts in his mind.

This time it was not the inefficient Japanese Metropolitan Police that collected data, but the Hakuba Research Institute.

In order to control the growing crime rate, the Hakuba family, which has the highest status in Japan's police circles, proposed a project.

That is to collect the information data of all people living in Japan.

This includes basic identity information, DNA information, travel record information, etc.

In the near future, the system will be further connected to police organizations around the world to form a huge surveillance network.

There's even a "new technology" being secretly developed that even Hakuba doesn't know about...

Although the system is not yet fully developed, it is still in a basically usable state.

It can quickly retrieve all kinds of information about criminal suspects, leaving the criminals nowhere to hide.

However, I did not expect that even a British person who had given birth to a child in Japan could not retrieve any data.

Is there something missing in the system?

Or was this woman's information deliberately hidden in some way?

……

On the other side, Sera Masumi, Mao Lilan and others are still looking for clues to the code in London.

At Elephant and Castle Station, four people searched around the station for an hour, but did not find any suspicious props.

This made Maori Kogoro gradually lose his patience, and he said unhappily, "See, I told you that man's reasoning was nonsense. The place the code pointed to is not here at all..."

"Dad, you were the one who said what they said made sense~"

Mao Lilan complained helplessly to Mao Li Kogoro.

But it was difficult to gain anything by searching around the station, so she could only call Kudo Shinichi again.

This time the call was answered quickly, because this time the call was directly in Kuroba Kaito's hand.

"Shinichi, we're at Elephant and Castle Station now..."

"Well, when we were having dinner at a restaurant, we met a blond man who told us the second part of the code was here, so we came here."

"But we've been searching here for an hour and haven't found anything."

On the other side of the phone, Kuroba Kaito was smarter this time and put the phone on speakerphone, allowing Conan to make inferences directly based on the content on the phone.

Hakuba Tan and Conan leaned over to the phone and listened. When Conan heard the blond man, his eyes suddenly froze, and his mind thought of the man who had made him "obsessed".

"What kind of blond man is that?!"

"Huh? Conan?"

Mao Lilan was stunned. It was Conan who spoke, and the focus was not on the code.

"A blond man is just a blond man. What's the difference? Don't all foreigners look the same?"

"I just remember he was wearing a pair of sunglasses..."

At this moment, Conan quickly prompted, "Is it the same blond man who was wanted in the previous attack on Officer Chiba?"

"Hmm..." Ran Mouri pondered, recalling the scene in her mind, and then she realized why she felt that the other person looked somewhat familiar.

"Yes! When you say that, I

I just remembered!"

"He does look like the man on the wanted poster..." Mao Lilan changed the subject again and said hesitantly, "But Britain is so far away from Japan, it's not such a coincidence, right?"

Conan grinned slightly and glanced at Kuroba Kaito next to him.

Huh, that's not necessarily the case...

"Then, Xiaolan, do you remember anything else about that man..."

Just as Conan was about to continue asking questions, Kuroba Kaito, sensing something was amiss, interrupted him: "Conan, Ran, what are you talking about?"

"We're discussing the code right now, so let's get back to it..."

When Mao Lilan heard it was Shinichi's voice, she was very obedient and corrected the subject, "The man said that the second code is based on the name. There is a long nose and a castle inside, so it is Elephant and Castle Station..."

"So that man was wrong?"

"No, there shouldn't be..."

At this time, the white horse detective who had been silent for a long time finally spoke.

He said calmly, "Actually, before you called, I was thinking the second code might indicate the location of Elephant and Castle Station."

"But since you can't find it at the station, you can try the supermarket near the station. You might find something..."

As soon as Hakuba Tan finished speaking, on the other side of the phone, Sera Masumi, who was a few meters away from Mao Lilan, grabbed the arm of a strange uncle at the station.

Sera Masumi grinned slightly, revealing a somewhat masculine and handsome smile.

"Uncle, are you Hades?"

"hat?"

The Mediterranean uncle with a circle of brown curly hair on the back of his head looked at Sera Masumi in surprise and subconsciously tried to free his arm, but Sera held on to him tightly.

Mao Lilan and others noticed the movement here and ran over quickly.

And Sera Masumi calmly forcibly lifted the man's arm, along with the briefcase that the man was holding.

The word "Identity" was clearly written on the briefcase.

"A Case of Identity, also known as the Case of the Missing Groom, is also a story in the Sherlock Holmes series."

"I've been observing you for a long time. You've been hanging around the station. Do you have any purpose?"

"Or are you Hades?"

Chapter 1286 Hades

"Or are you Hades?"

Facing the aggressive Sera Masumi, the man could only explain the reason for his appearance here.

It turned out that someone was paying him to stay near the station all day long and keep walking back and forth.

After listening to the man's explanation, Sera Masumi's eyes were still wary, but at least her suspicion of the man was reduced by most.

Because she had been observing this man for a long time, if Hades himself had come to place the key clues and props, he would have left long ago and would not have stayed at the station for such a long time.

Maori Kogoro came over and asked sternly, "Did you see the person who paid you?"

Sera translated the question of Mouri Kogoro for the bald man.

The bald man looked at Sera and shook his head. "No, we contacted each other online. He asked me to come to the station and put on the clothes and suitcase in the locker. He also put the money in there..."

"box?"

Maori Kogoro looked down at the box in the bald man's hand, and immediately became alert. He exclaimed, "Could it be that inside this box is..."

He didn't utter the last word "bomb".

Sera was also suddenly shocked. If Hades was nearby and they were so close to the bomb, the bomb might detonate at any time.

After all, Hades was not the kind of criminal who would obey the rules honestly.

In previous incidents, the police were clearly instructed by experts to unlock the code in advance, but Hades detonated the bomb in advance, causing a large number of civilian and police casualties.

"Hey, uncle, have you opened this box and looked at what's inside?" Sera asked with a panicked look in his eyes.
