Conan Rick's Investigator

Or...Minerba Glass herself?

At this moment, the big screen on the sidelines also showed the location where each ball landed for both players in the first set.

The moment he saw where the serve landed, Conan suddenly understood.

So this is ah……

The target is indeed Minerva!

When Conan was studying in Hawaii, he studied Braille.

In addition to the initial interest, I also learned Braille considering that I might need to use this special language in a case in the future.

Unexpectedly, I finally came across this skill today.

Based on the serve landing point statistics displayed on the big screen, Conan quickly analyzed it in his mind.

The first letter is H.

Then comes E, L...P.

Put together it means, help.

This is a call for help!

Conan lowered his right hand from where his chin was resting, and quickly turned his gaze to Minerva below.

It was the break between games, and Minerva was drinking water and wiping her sweat.

There were two chairs next to her, one of which was covered with a towel, and the racket was placed against the chair next to it.

Apart from this, there are no other eye-catching objects around.

The players' preparation area is independent of the audience seats and is located at a relatively far distance to prevent spectators from behind from interfering with the players during the competition.

If the bomb was intended for Minerva, how would the killer have placed it?

And how did Minerva know on the field that the murderer was targeting her?

Just as Conan was concentrating on thinking, a pair of figures stood beside him.

"Conan?"

"What are you doing standing here?"

Conan looked back and saw that it was Ran Mouri and Masumi Sera who came over.

"Sister Xiaolan?" Conan was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

"Of course, I was worried that you were lost, so I came out with Masumi to look for you..."

As she was talking, Mao Lilan took Conan's hand and walked towards the seat, saying as she walked, "The second game is about to start, let's go back to our seats..."

When Conan heard this, he wanted to sit back down. How could he find the bomb and the criminal then?

So he quickly acted cute and put on a pitiful look, "Sister Xiaolan, I need to go to the toilet!"

"To the restroom?"

Mao Lilan turned around, surprised and a little angry, "Didn't you just go to the toilet? Why are you going to the toilet again?"

In just half an hour, Conan ran out twice. Ran Mouri was certain that he just wanted to sneak out and play alone.

If this happened in Japan, people would turn a blind eye to this behavior.

But this is England, and it's a tennis court full of people of all kinds. If he gets lost here, he won't be able to explain to Conan's mother, Edogawa Fumiyo.

"No! Go back and watch the game!"

Seeing that his method of avoiding peeing didn't work, Conan started to squat on the ground and act like a spoiled child.

"No~ I just need to go to the bathroom!"

However, when Mao Lilan saw Conan's uncharacteristic behavior, she became more certain of her thoughts.

"no!"

Mao Lilan dragged Conan, who was squatting on the ground, with one hand. Under the terrifying force, Conan was dragged easily like a sled.

At this moment, Sera Masumi on the side took the initiative to say: "Xiaolan, how about I take Conan to the bathroom?"

"It just so happens that I also feel like going to the toilet..."

"Eh?" Mao Lilan turned her head in surprise and glanced at Sera Masumi, "Is this okay?"

"Oh~ It's nothing, just looking after the kids~"

Masumi Sera looked down at Conan, showing her two little canine teeth and smiled: "Conan, are you willing to go to the bathroom with your sister?"

Conan knew that this was the only way to get away from Xiaolan at the moment, so he could only smile and nod.

"Ok!"

"Yoshi! Let's go!"

Just like that, Sera Masumi took Conan's little hand and walked towards the exit.

When the two of them walked to the corridor outside the exit, Conan immediately began to think of how to get rid of Sera Masumi.

Fortunately, Sera Makoto is a girl, so the other person had to go to the women's restroom while she went to the men's restroom.

The moment the other person goes into the bathroom, you quickly come out and do your business.

But just when Conan had already planned his next move, Sera let go of Conan's little hand.

"Conan, you didn't come out to use the bathroom? Right?"

Sera lowered her head and smiled at Conan with squinting eyes.

Conan looked surprised for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Because from the girl in front of him, he had a feeling that his disguise had been seen through.

And now Masumi Sera does have some doubts about him.

Although Kudo Shinichi and Conan appeared at the same time on the first day of their encounter at Baker Street, to this day, she still feels that the boy in front of her is the boy she met at the beach 10 years ago.

Especially the way he looks when he's thinking, it's exactly the same as it was before.

If there is any difference between the two, it is that the boy in front of him seems to be more mature than before.

So when Sera saw Conan strongly asking to go to the bathroom again, she realized that the boy might know something.

It might be related to the code incident...

"Um...what are you talking about, Sister Sera?"

Seeing that his purpose had been seen through, Conan could only play dumb as usual.

But Shira didn't give him any face and said directly: "The phone call just now should be from Kudo Shinichi, right? The content is related to the secret code incident, right?"

Although she had some doubts in her heart, Sera did not ignore the existence of Kudo Shinichi and believed that there was a high probability that Conan accepted Kudo Shinichi's guidance.

Conan saw that Sera's guess was very close to the correct answer, and it was indeed difficult for him to stop Hades by himself.

no solution anymore……

Conan could only tell Masumi Sera everything that had happened.

Chapter 1301 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 destination of the code?"

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 wasn't in good condition..."

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

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

"Braille?" Sera asked in wonder, but then he remembered that this was a name for 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 text is: H, E, L, P..."

"That's help."

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

"I see. I understand."

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

"As a result, the player he bet on underperformed 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.

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

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

"Well, I'll find a way to tell Minerva that we're aware of the threat against her."

"Sera-nee, please get as close to the front of the stands as possible and check if there's anything suspicious in the Minerva 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 net in his hand.

The ball bounces up and down the lawn.
