There are many places where people gather in London, and Gao Cheng followed his uncle to find places like the British Museum and Buckingham Palace, but along the way, he still thought more about the poetic code.

Without even knowing who the culprit is, it is quite difficult to decipher the code.

But it is not completely untraceable, because there are also suspicious actions of prisoners that can be referenced.

Using so many children to go to the police station to send crime notices is probably to cause a commotion, or just to hide something, so you have to find so many children.

The other is "Ask Sherlock Holmes".

Maybe the cipher has something to do with "Sherlock Holmes......

Gao Cheng checked the code from the beginning.

The first is the first line of "the bell rang to wake me up", if you can figure this sentence, the following sentence should also be able to be cracked.

Speaking of bells, the sixth line also mentions bells, and the bells of London are the most reminiscent of that......

Gao Cheng looked at Big Ben, which could be clearly seen on the other side, the tall clock tower that could be regarded as a landmark building in London.

"I haven't found anything suspicious at all," Mori Kogoro grumbled as he walked, "I've already found the main places where a lot of people might gather, I think it's a prank, huh!" ”

"But," Lan reassured, "it's not bad to visit London." ”

"What a stupid thing! I'm just paying attention to whether there are any suspicious guys, how can I be in the mood for sightseeing! Maori Kogoro said unhappily, "You can also help me take a good look at ......"

"Strange," Xiaolan looked left and right, puzzled, "What about the seniors in the city?" Wouldn't you lose it? ”

"Huh?" The uncle also turned around, but there was no trace of Gao Cheng anywhere, "Forget it, that kid is not a child, can he still lose himself?" ”

"But the senior doesn't know the road, and he doesn't seem to be very good at English."

"Really, I'll go back and look for it, you wait for me here first."

Hearing Xiaolan's worry, the uncle's heart sank.

That's right, he is not good at English, and Gao Cheng is not estimated to be much better......

Under Big Ben on the other side, Gao Cheng asked the guards in fluent English about the situation, but did not find any suspicious characters.

He wasn't very familiar with the road, but he had no problem asking for directions in English, and he happened to have a travel map of London with him.

"Thank you."

After asking the guards, Gao Cheng held his chin and continued to fall into deep thought.

Theoretically, it's a Big Ben, but ......

Like 19th-century London in the previous game, Big Ben is also next to a bridge, and when Gao Cheng looked down, he accidentally found a strange arrow on the side of the road, pointing to the bridge deck.

Walking along the side of the bridge, a brick-sized drain cover in the middle of the bridge was removed by something, and there was a line of English written next to the drain.

"Uncanny Valley......

Gao Cheng squatted to the side of the drain and looked at English silently.

"Uncanny Valley" is a story in the Sherlock Holmes detective series, so the code is indeed related to Sherlock Holmes.

Gao Cheng took out his mobile phone again to check the second line of the code.

I'm a long-nosed magician who lives in a castle......

Since the "bells" are Big Ben, what would the "castle" and "long-nosed magician" refer to, somewhere near Big Ben?

If it's a keyword type code, there is a district in London called Elrphant amp; Castle means elephant and castle, and the elephant and the long-nosed wizard can barely be connected.

Gao Cheng's gaze turned to the third line.

The only thing that can fill your stomach is boiled eggs that are as cold as a corpse......

"Eggs" and the following sentences of "pickled melon", "cake", and "two swords" all look like keywords.

Does it also refer to buildings or regions?

Speaking of which, if it's an egg-shaped building......

Gao Cheng quickly flipped through the travel brochure and found a picture of Tower Bridge in London.

Tower Bridge is an uplift suspension bridge across the River Thames, which is also a symbol of London and one of the must-see landmarks for tourists.

And just off the south bank of the River Thames next to Tower Bridge, there is a glass building in the shape of an egg.

It is the London City Hall.

Gao Cheng continued to look through the atlas and found the Swiss Re headquarters building, nicknamed the Gherkin Building because it resembles a cucumber, which is a landmark in the financial district.

The remaining cake-shaped building and two sword-shaped buildings are not certain, so you can only ask the locals to see, according to the first few lines of code, even if it is not a landmark building, it should be very obvious.

However, first of all, you need to go to each place to make sure, if you guess correctly, there should be something left like Big Ben, so that his inference is correct.

The first stop is the Elephant Castle area, which is the closest to Big Ben, and I can't really think of any buildings, but when Gao Cheng left the station, he saw a suspicious man in a suit walking around the exit, and the man was carrying a suitcase with "Identity" written on it.

A case of identity…… A title in the Sherlock Holmes series, The Disappearance of the Groom.

"Hold, I'm sorry," the man in the suit said in panic when he was grabbed by Gao Cheng, "Someone gave me money to dress up like this and hang around here at the station, and this empty box and suit were all prepared by him......"

"Do you remember what that guy looked like?"

"I didn't see it clearly, but it was a dark-skinned man with a hat and dreadlocks......"

"Again."

Gao Cheng opened the empty box and looked at it, but found nothing.

Leaving the man's contact information, Gao Cheng continued to the next place ahead, the egg-shaped London City Hall.

This time, no suspicious characters were found, but strange dolls were left in various corners around the area, and the English meaning "Maizeren Jewel" was written on the chest of the doll.

It's one of the cases in the Sherlock Holmes series again.

Putting away the doll, Gao Cheng continued to rush to the Gherkin Building across the River Thames, and found a lot of old fountain pens covered in nicks around the building, this time with the title "The Dancing Man".

Gao Cheng didn't investigate the next place, and frowned at the old fountain pen in front of him.

It's all clues related to Sherlock Holmes, but it's completely unclear what they mean......

"I'm talking about the city!" When passing the Tower Bridge, a panting Maori Kogoro chased after Xiaolan, "What the hell are you doing?" It's a real problem! ”

"Uncle?" Gao Cheng saw the two of them come back to their senses, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"You're embarrassed to say," Maori Kogoro said angrily, "I didn't see you for a long time, and in the end I had to go to the police with Xiaolan, and finally someone said that they had seen you, and they kept chasing you from Big Ben!" ”

"Sorry, sorry......"

"Damn, it's been this time, have you found anything?"

"Yes, yes, but ......"

"Dad," Xiaolan looked at the time and suddenly exclaimed, "It's almost time to make an appointment with Ms. Diana!" ”

"So fast?"

Gao Cheng raised his wrist watch.

Before I knew it, it was almost 8 o'clock, because it was very bright and I barely noticed.

"It's getting dark late in London," urged the uncle, "well, since everyone has found it, let's hurry back to the hotel, and I won't have a clue for a while." ”

Gao Cheng reluctantly took back the words he had received.

It was true that Ms. Diana's dinner was not a good one, and the travel expenses were all paid for by others, but he could have asked the locals about the situation in London by the way.
