Sonoko Suzuki and her team represent Teitan High School. The British, as the master, certainly will not snub them. The British Education Coalition arranged their residence in the Churchill Apartments.

Anyone who knows anything about Britain knows about Churchill Apartments. Close to the River Thames, with beautiful views of the city, a short walk from famous attractions such as Big Ben, and excellent transport links.

The price of such a hotel apartment will not be cheap. Being able to place them in this place also shows the importance that the British government attaches to Japanese high schools and the Suzuki Foundation. In addition to Teidan High School, several universities from other countries were invited.

Recently, it has been reported that the Suzuki consortium will have any major business cooperation with British companies.

Comparing the treatment gap between Didan High School and several other universities, the situation is clear. It is worthy of the old capitalist country, and it likes to deal with problems in the way of businessmen.

Therefore, for the friends of Suzuki Sonoko, who are not part of the tennis team of Teidan High School, the Education Alliance is also quite generous.

The itinerary of the tennis club of Tidan High School is as follows: the first and second days are familiarized with the accommodation, the third, fourth and fifth days are shuttled by special car, visit the tennis tournament organized by the Education Union, participate in friendly matches on the sixth day, and return on the seventh day.

"Aha, there's a lot of time, president, can we go out and have fun?" The garden said with great interest.

The president covered his head with a quilt: "Okay, okay, okay, whatever you say, it's okay, but let's take a jet lag first......"

In the other room, Xiaolan and the children were already asleep. Ji Haihong and Conan left the hotel, time was pressing, and they didn't have time to reverse jet lag.

"To Scotland Yard." They called in a taxi.

The driver looked at the two little boys with different skin tones and didn't ask much. He stepped on the gas: "What, have those rice buckets at Scotland Yard become a tourist attraction for tourists?" ”

The two "tourists" had no intention of enjoying the beautiful scenery of London, and they did not go to Scotland Yard for coffee.

Coming to the vicinity of Scotland Yard, they got off the bus and walked to the bus stop. Soon, a red car drove by, the windows opened, and Shuichi Akai appeared in front of the two.

"Get in the car, let's go to a good place."

This "good place" is an unused office space under the British food regulatory department, which has been requisitioned by MI5 and used as a station for the Joint Operations Command.

MI5 is responsible for safeguarding the national security of the United Kingdom, and the United States and Japan liaise with it to inform the British of the existence of secret research bases for terrorist organizations.

Britain is already a small country, how can it tolerate any terrorist organization to exist in its territory? This incident has made the government feel like a fish in the throat, and it has promoted the cooperation between the departments of the three countries in disguise.

The command headquarters of the joint operations center has just been established, and many of the newly arrived equipment and documents have not yet had time to be sorted out, which is rather chaotic. The person in charge of the reconnaissance mission cleared a table and held a meeting.

"Edogawa Conan and Ji Haihong are important witnesses in this case, and there is a little lady who has just gotten off the plane, is a little tired, and is resting in a hotel." Shuichi Akai said.

A blonde, blue-eyed plainclothes policeman greets: "I'm Mike Griffin, the head of the Metropolitan Police's Counter-Terrorism Command Team, hello. ”

"Hello." Conan and Ji Haihong return the salute.

Mike asked, "Inspector Akai, what do these two children know?" ”

"They know what we know, and the encirclement and suppression of the 'hive' also requires them to verify the evidence obtained."

Raising his eyebrows, he asked, "Are you sure?" I don't know anything about science, but these two children know more than I do. ”

"The FBI and CIA vouch for them."

Mike was relieved to be sure. During the conversation, the agents finally set the venue in order, and the official meeting began.

There were a lot of participants, and the leadership of the FBI and CIA, as well as the British counter-terrorism department, was here, nearly 100 people.

The electronic screen displays a map of the area and information about the people. "Based on intelligence provided by the United States and Japan, our department has found traces of terrorists in the Glen Reading area," Mike said. ”

The picture shifts, and a picture of Glen Ridding is presented to people. This is a very beautiful landscape photograph of two or three sheep leisurely foraging on a leafy hillside, and a small village looming in the middle of a dense grove in the distance. A ribbon winds its way through the valley and looks closely, and it turns out to be a clear river. The sky is blue and white clouds are blooming, as in a painting.

"Seriously, I like that sheep." Ji Haihong suddenly spoke.

The atmosphere of the meeting was originally very quiet, and when Ji Haihong interrupted like this, everyone looked at him.

"Kid, if you like it, I'll treat you to an authentic lamb dinner and give you a cardigan after the mission." Mike quipped.

Conan was very helpless, and said that he was used to Ji Haihong's disconnection, but many times, he was still tired.

Mike continued: "We found out that a pharmaceutical company based in London often sends cars to the area in the name of group outings, mostly motorhomes and medium-duty trucks. ”

"Is there anything illegal about this company?" One person asks a question.

"No, their factories in the industrial zone are very law-abiding, and they have won a lot of security awards, but they have financial ties to terrorist organizations, which is why our ministry is targeting him."

James said, "What do you mean is that there is a hidden factory in the Glen Reading area?" ”

"Yes, it is very close to the third highest peak in our country -- Haier Weilin Peak, and the terrain is complicated, but our reconnaissance plane did not find any unregistered buildings there, and local villagers reported that there are often mountaineering enthusiasts who go to their town to buy things, but some people are very strange."

Glen Riding is a popular place for mountaineers, who are well known to the locals. But when an unfamiliar face appears in the town to shop for items, the residents notice the anomaly.

Every day the town welcomes new faces, all mountaineering enthusiasts. However, some self-proclaimed 'mountaineering enthusiasts' do not carry any mountaineering and trekking equipment with them when they stay and shop in hotels. It feels like they live close enough to be home at any time.

"Our ministry concluded that they had a research institute somewhere, perhaps even in the interior of the mountain." Mike said.

The Counter-Terrorism Command is monitoring the movements of "special faces" that match the residents' descriptions, and will report any situation as soon as it becomes available.

"After finding out the secret base of the terrorist organization, what we have to do is to find this person - Elena Miyano, she is a scientist, there is enough evidence that she is still alive, and she is conducting research in the secret base, her husband's name is Miyano Atsuji, who is also a scientist who worked for the terrorist organization, it is said that he is dead, but there is no evidence, in addition, we need to obtain their research plan and research results, and find out what they are doing!"

……

In addition to the garden, the students in the club are all going abroad for the first time. There were two days of playtime, and everyone discussed how to arrange it.

"Anyway, Big Ben is going to go, and if you walk to it, it's only a little more than twenty minutes away."

"And the British Museum!"

"The London Eye is going too."

"I wonder if there is any food in the UK?"

"Fried fish with potatoes? Fish with fries? It seems that there are potato chips and fried fish or something, you are very interested? ”

The tennis club has only two days of free time, but the children have one week. They can choose whether or not to go to a tennis match, but coming all the way to the UK and going to see a tennis match all the time doesn't seem interesting.

Therefore, the itinerary of the tennis club is different from the itinerary of the children, which also makes Conan feel that he has saved a lot of trouble. He can use his free time to keep in touch with Shuichi Akai more.

In the café downstairs, Ji Haihong and Gray Yuan were chatting.

"Mom is in England," finally got the news of her relatives, and Gray Yuan's anticipation overflowed, "In Glen Reading? It seems like it's only a five-hour drive from London. ”

Ji Haihong picked up the bitter coffee in front of him, he didn't have a good rest, he could only rely on the coffee to refresh himself: "If it goes well, maybe even the uncle can be found, don't worry, our purpose is to arrest them, and it will be fine." ”

Gray Yuan nodded: "What can we do now?" ”

"It's hard to come to the UK, let it go, just be happy, I remember ......" Suddenly, Ji Haihong's mobile phone rang.

It's Ulfrik.

With the phone in his ear, Ji Haihong looked at Gray Yuan: "W, if you are in the United States, my time here is five hours faster than yours." ”

"Urgent intelligence," said Ulfrik, "you are in England now, right?" Very well, Elena Miyano is also in the UK, I have a relevant intelligence here, which was captured during the battle with the organized military company in the Middle East, if you don't have the conditions, I will pass it on to the FBI first, and then pass it on to you. ”

Ji Haihong said: "No problem, I wish you a good mood." ”

"What's the matter?" Gray Yuan asked.

Subconsciously, Ji Haihong didn't tell Gray Yuan about it, he replied casually: "It's nothing, greetings from old friends." ”

……

This bridge, Xiaolan and Shinichi have been here once. Here they meet unexpectedly and confess unexpectedly. Life is like a movie, with a directed script, but it's hard to guess what the protagonist will say next sentence.

Today, they are once again on the bridge where romantic memories between them are recorded. Nothing has changed here, with the ancient bridge resting quietly on the gentle river, watching London and the world.

"My mood is very delicate," Xiaolan said with emotion, "The last time I came here, you were obviously by my side, but I didn't know it, and I was still looking for you stupidly." ”

"Ah, me too," Conan leaned against the railing, the tips of his hair drifting in the breeze, "I wanted to confess to you after the matter was over, but I didn't expect that this plan was quite hasty and much ahead of schedule. ”

Xiaolan pouted: "Detective, do you still know, such a solemn thing, at least there must be red wine and flowers, isn't it all like this on TV?" ”

Conan narrowed his eyes indifferently, but made a promise in his heart.
