At eight o'clock in the evening, Gao Cheng followed the uncle as a small follower to attend the banquet, and after seeing the luxurious layout of the hotel banquet hall, he once again had doubts about the identity of the rich woman who invited the uncle.

The hotel is luxurious, it can be explained by money, but the people at the same table at the banquet don't seem to be ordinary people, I heard that they are all friends of the fat woman Ms. Diana, because I heard that there are Japanese detectives who are very interested.

The uncle, who has always claimed to be an experienced adult, didn't think too much, and was very happy from the moment he sat down, although it was difficult for him to communicate with foreigners, but his daughter Xiaolan's English was not bad, and she could talk to these people, so it was not a big problem.

"What's the matter?" Xiaolan stepped aside and called Conan, "Didn't I tell you that I had dinner with Ms. Diana at the hotel at eight o'clock in the evening?" We've all started eating! ”

"I'm sorry," Conan said with an embarrassed smile, "the Doctor and I have patronized the code...... In that case, the doctor and I are looking for fast food nearby, and my uncle is over there anyway......"

Gao Cheng looked back at Xiaolan who was calling, it seemed that Conan was still studying the code, but Xiaolan couldn't care so much, and after apologizing to the fat woman, he went out to find Conan.

"I'll go get them back!"

"Ahh

Maori Kogoro failed to stop his daughter, and Gao Cheng was left with him at the scene.

Looking at Gao Cheng, who was still drinking a drink leisurely without understanding anything, the uncle's smile was stiff, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

It's a big problem......

Diana, the fat woman, doesn't feel much about Xiaolan's departure, and it's okay to eat later, the key is Maori Kogoro.

"Sleeping Mr. Kogoro," the fat woman said expectantly, smiling in anticipation, "can you tell us a few stories about how you solved the case?" Everyone is very interested in you, who is comparable to Sherlock Holmes......"

"Uh, OK......"

The uncle met the eyes of everyone waiting to listen, picked up the wine glass with sweat like rain, and subconsciously looked at Gao Cheng next to him.

I've been blown up in Japan before, but what if I can't speak English, why don't I put on a show?

"That's, Joto......"

"Lady Diana," Gao Cheng said to the fat woman, putting down his glass, "Actually, the Maori detectives are investigating a case right now, and at noon someone in London has spread a lot of code messages to predict the killing, and there has been a commotion on the police side......

……

"What's going on?"

Near Big Ben, after Conan coped with Xiaolan's phone call, he continued to study the code with a map of London, but he never found anything.

"The code should mean that there are two watch shops next to the castle-like building, and there are also food shops, cake shops, and even weapons shops densely distributed, but nowhere can I find them!"

Dr. Asa couldn't help much, and followed Conan and said, "It seems that this code doesn't refer to a store that sells anything......"

"Yes," Conan said worriedly, "I don't have a clue at all, and sure enough, this kind of code can only be guessed completely." ”

Conan felt desperate, he was indeed very good at solving puzzles, yes, but at least he had to have clues and directions first, and he couldn't think out of thin air.

In this case, he was not in the mood to attend any banquets, so he was worried that Xiaolan would come out to find someone just now, so he directly lied to Xiaolan that he was on the London Eye Ferris wheel in the other direction with the doctor.

"Xiaolan called again," Conan took out his mobile phone that kept ringing, and said helplessly, "I can't concentrate on the code......"

"Why don't you ask Ah Cheng," the doctor said worriedly, "maybe you can think of something together." ”

"That's true, but if he accidentally loses it, he wants me to find him......"

Conan's eyelids jumped, and he was a little impatient to answer the phone: "Hey, hey......"

"Shinichi?" Xiaolan's voice hesitated, "It's me...... Are you still sleeping? Japan is still ...... at 5 a.m."

"Huh?!"

Conan reacted, only to find out that it was the mobile phone used by his identity as Kudo Shinichi, and hurriedly took out the bow voice changer and responded: "Ah, no...... I'm up, but there's something to think about......"

In the banquet hall of the hotel, the uncle hung his neck to watch Gao Cheng communicate with the fat woman, and only after a long time did he take a sullen sip of wine, and only when everyone looked at him again did he nod his head and said "Yes" without knowing anything.

"Really? The spire of St. Bled's Church resembles a multi-tiered wedding cake. ”

Gao Cheng asked from the fat woman and her party about the location of the cake building, but he didn't mention the building or area of the two swords.

"Stick two swords in the white ......"

"Oh!" A friend of the fat woman suddenly thought, "If there are two swords stuck in the back of the white one, I have seen the double sword logo behind the famous white Mason porcelain, and there is only one specialty store in London!" ”

"Mason porcelain?"

"Yes, most of the tableware in this hotel is Mason porcelain, you see."

Gao Cheng followed and picked up a white plate and found the pattern of two swords crossed at the bottom.

In this way, all the places described in the cipher have been found, and the key is what the meaning of the cipher left around these places again.

It's better to run again tomorrow, maybe get the clues to the remaining two places and figure it out.

The key is still "Sherlock Holmes", the prisoner said that he couldn't solve the puzzle and asked Holmes, which means that Holmes is the key to unlocking the new code.

The title name of those Sherlock Holmes cases......

Gao Cheng held up his chin and frowned in thought.

In addition to unlocking the code, there is also the prisoner's side.

It should not be possible to carry out the crime without the police being completely confused, that is, at least for a day or two.

According to the criminal psychological analysis, it is likely that the prisoner was secretly observing during this time, enjoying the thrill of the police running around for the puzzle given to him.

However, the information is still insufficient, and it is still very reluctant to profile the criminal behavior of the prisoner, and only a few main characteristics can be analyzed.

Retaliation or irritation......

The fat woman saw that Gao Cheng was in thought, and turned to the uncle curiously and asked, "Is this little brother your detective assistant?" ”

The uncle didn't understand English very well, and he was at a loss, and when he heard the word that seemed to be a detective, he affirmed in Japanese mixed with English: "Yes, he's also a detective!" Detecitive！ ”

"That's amazing!" The fat woman and her party looked at Gao Cheng who took out a map of London to check in amazement, and gave a thumbs up to the uncle, "Your assistant is amazing, the combination is just like Sherlock Holmes and Watson!" This case will definitely be cleared up......"

"Peanuts?"

The uncle listened to a series of English, and his head was dizzy and he didn't understand what it meant, but when he saw that the fat woman seemed to be praising himself, he hurriedly said happily: "Yes! The two of us are detectives with the same name, and of course the city is still young, and many places need me to take care of, so this time I will bring him to England for a long time......"

Everyone present didn't understand Japanese, and they couldn't understand what the uncle was saying, but the atmosphere of the conversation was not bad, although they were talking differently, but they were unexpectedly very harmonious.

can mix well on any occasion, no matter how embarrassing the situation is, it may also be a talent of the uncle, and in the end, he even surpassed Gao Cheng, regardless of the language barrier, and directly performed his judo in front of the guests, becoming the focus of the banquet.

Gao Cheng didn't care about the cold sweat more and more uncles, and marked all the places involved in the code on the map, although he didn't know the meaning of the new code in each place, he still found quite subtle places through the map.

Starting with Big Ben in the middle, following the line in turn, back to Big Ben, and then connecting to the last Mason porcelain store, an abstract tennis racket shape appears on the map.

Of course, it's impossible to say for sure that it was a tennis racket, but if it were, the target was likely to be the ongoing Wimbledon tennis tournament, with Saturday's final the day after tomorrow.

……

In the hotel room, Gao Cheng looked at Shinichi Kudo in front of him with his eyelids slumped.

The banquet was over, and it was said that Xiaolan went to find Conan why she never went back, and when she returned to the room, she saw such a terrifying scene.

"So, you've already taken the antidote you used to return home?"

"What can I do," Kudo Shinichi said helplessly, "I was almost caught by Xiaolan, if I don't eat it, Edogawa Conan will be what Kudo Shinichi looked like when he was an hour, won't it be exposed?" ”

Gao Cheng's eyelids sank: "That's why I think it's strange, you should still be in Japan as Kudo Shinichi, right?" Why did Xiaolan arrest you? ”

"It's a long story," Kudo Shinichi grabbed his hair with a headache and said in annoyance, "There's no way, I don't know when this body will turn back into Conan, so I can only make excuses tomorrow to hide in the room for a day......

"Chenghu, it seems that the matter of the interpretation of the code still has to trouble you, and the seven sentences in the code probably refer to the buildings in various places...... Damn, this is really bad, if you don't solve it quickly......"

"If it's those buildings, I've already found them, and I'll try to solve all the puzzles tomorrow so that the prisoner won't get away with it."

Gao Cheng sighed secretly, sure enough, Xiao Ai was right to let him bring more antidotes, he couldn't trust this guy in this kind of thing at all, as long as it was possible, he would definitely mess up.

Shaking his head, Gao Cheng took out all the items he had collected in Kudo Shinichi's stunned expression, even the drainage outlet on the bridge next to Big Ben was specially photographed, and the suitcase in the hand of the man in the suit at the station was also photographed.

"Almost everywhere there is a case title from the Sherlock Holmes series, Big Ben is Uncanny Valley, Elephant Castle Station is The Missing Bridegroom, Egg Building Town Hall is the Jewel of Mazzelen, and then the Gherkin Building is The Dancing Man...... I'll look at the remaining two places tomorrow. ”

Kudo Shinichi stared, and waited until Gao Cheng took out all the clues before relieving himself: "You found all of them?" ”

"What do you think?"

"Uh, I mean to say...... You're not lost. ”
