Chapter 92: The Sherlock Holmes Murder (1)
"The official website of the Metropolitan Police Department has been hacked! The mysterious hacker left the signature of maotai (Moutai), and the perpetrator is suspected to be from the Celestial Empire!"
The next morning, Xingchen passed by the newsstand on his way to school, and saw that the front pages of major newspapers and magazines were prominently published in the great deeds he had committed yesterday. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I bought the Yomiuri Shimbun, which has the largest circulation, and Xingchen read the contents of the newspaper while drinking coffee and milk.
Recently, the conflict between Japan and China over the ownership of the surrounding islands has escalated again, and the Celestial Empire hackers used the latest worm to invade the homepage of the official website of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, resulting in the serious paralysis of many supercomputers inside the police station. As of press time, the Chinese police have preliminary evidence to prove that the hacker's IP address came from the inland Modu area. ”
At the end of the article, the reporter also wrote a formulaic conclusion -- The Japanese Government expresses its strong indignation at the behavior of the Celestial Empire's hackers for openly challenging the rights of the Japanese side, and lodges a strong protest and severe condemnation to the Celestial Empire.
Seeing this, Xingchen smiled, the money to buy the newspaper was not spent in vain.
Walking around the corner, he casually tossed the empty coffee and milk bottles and newspapers into the trash can marked "Recyclable Sorting", and then Xingchen continued on to the school road.
……
Two weeks later, inside a minivan on a mountain road, Sherlock Holmes fans were discussing which of their favorite titles.
"My favorite is A Study in Scarlet, which is the most monumental novel in which Sherlock Holmes debuted. ”
"I love The Redhead League. ”
"I, I, and me. Conan waved his arms and shouted excitedly, "I like Four Signatures the most." ”
"It's really a classic novel recognized all over the world, my little brother is amazing, do you know a lot of words?" said one of the uncles in the tour group to Conan.
"Very simple reasoning. Xingchen, who was sitting next to Conan, suddenly said: "Looking at the fact that he wears glasses at such a young age, and he has never played with a mobile phone or game console since he got into the car, you can guess that he has read a lot of books." ”
"This little brother is also very powerful, which work do you like?" the uncle asked Xingchen curiously.
"Please don't call me 'little brother', my name is Twilight Star!" Xingchen held a bottle of coffee milk in his hand, refused to accept a title with a special meaning, and said, "I like 'The Last Case'! At that time, the author was planning to finish the entire Sherlock Holmes series, so "The Last Case" can be said to be the novel he wrote with the most heart. ”
Everyone didn't think much about it when they heard Xingchen's answer, "The Last Case" is indeed a classic, and has been remade into movies and television many times.
Only Conan knows that most of the reason why Xingchen likes "The Last Case" is probably Professor Moriarty.
A week ago, in the Sherlock Holmes section of the Mystery Enthusiasts Forum, the moderators held a meeting with book fans.
Conan, who has always regarded Sherlock Holmes as his idol, signed up without Maori's knowledge and was lucky to be chosen.
After Xingchen learned about this, he shouted that he would also come to play, on the grounds that "Uncle Maori and Sister Xiaolan also bring one person, and bring two people with them." ”
As he set off, Xingchen leaned into Conan's ear and whispered, "I feel like something interesting will happen on this trip!"
After a slight pause, Xingchen realized that there was a problem in his words just now: "It's strange, why do I say 'again'? It looks like I haven't hung out with you before!"
Conan, who was appointed by the Grim Reaper as his successor, also had a vague sense of foreboding in his heart, and he could only silently pray in his heart that nothing strange would happen!
When Kogoro was asked which work he liked, he scratched his head and replied based on his impressions, "Murder on the Western Express!"
As soon as this remark came out, it immediately aroused the collective contempt of the whole car.
"You're talking about the Orient Express murder!"
"That work was supposed to have been written by Agatha Christie and was not part of the Sherlock Holmes series. ”
"I didn't expect there to be laymen in this group. ”
"What a disappointment......"
The innocent Maori uncle was so angry that he didn't dare to say anything more along the way, not even the cigarettes he loved to put down, for fear of arousing the hostility of the group.
Xingchen agrees with Maori's move, the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, and Xingchen has seen someone say it before the crossing.
"You'd better not mess with me, Lao Tzu is a person who has watched more than 700 episodes of Conan, knows more than 600 ways to kill, is proficient in more than 200 kinds of secret room murder methods, knows hundreds of poisons/drugs, and can make all kinds of alibi, remember not to mess with me, otherwise you don't know how you died!"
So, it's best not to provoke reasoning lovers easily!
Arriving at the agreed hotel, Conan just wanted to walk in, but was pulled by a fat woman.
The fat woman looked at Conan's palm and said mysteriously, "Little brother, do you have any big secrets?"
"Huh?" Conan didn't understand why the fat woman had come to him.
"Did you steal your exam transcript?" the fat woman's tone changed, and she began to lie to Conan, "You have to be careful, or your secret may be known to someone soon!"
"Conan, let's go inside!" Xingchen couldn't stand it anymore, he dragged Conan directly into the inn and said, "Don't believe that soothsayer's nonsense. ”
"But how does he know I have a big secret?" Conan said about the big secret, which naturally refers to his original identity as Shinichi.
"That's just a trick of the charlatans to eat together!" Xingchen explained without cutting down, "Everyone will have secrets in their hearts, and everyone thinks that their secrets belong to big secrets, but in fact, these are just inconsequential things in the eyes of others. ”
"Then why did she have to find me?" asked Conan, heartily.
"Do you really think she's crushing on you? You're so self-righteous!" Xingchen continued, in order to make Conan realize the reality, "People only take a fancy to your relationship with Uncle Maori, and the designer suit on Uncle Maori's body will start with you." ”
Speaking of which, Conan finally came to his senses.
Recently, Maori has solved a lot of cases with his own help, and with it, a large number of detective commission fees have followed.
Out of the mentality of packaging himself and the nouveau riche, Maori deliberately bought a suit of Armani a few days ago to show off.
The fat woman judged by Maori's clothes that he was a rich man, and that Conan was just a stepping stone to Maori's friendship.
