Chapter 87: Sherlock Holmes Fan Tour

"I like Four Signatures the most!" Conan discussed with the tour group members across Gao Cheng, raising his hands like a child.

"Ah, "Four Signatures" is indeed a masterpiece recognized all over the world, little brother, you know a lot."

"Little brother, do you know a lot of words?"

"It's alright."

The other members of the group are all Sherlock Holmes fans, and when they saw that Conan was a child who also liked Sherlock Holmes, they had a good impression, and when they saw that the Maori people who were with Conan had not spoken, they were curious: "What about you?" Which work do you prefer? ”

"Huh? Me? Maori Kogoro was stunned, touched the back of his head and said embarrassedly, "Well, I like "Murder on the Western Express" ......"

"Huh? You're talking about "Murder on the Orient Express", right? And the author of this work is Akasha Christine, which is not at all the work of Mr. Conan Doyle, whom I admire......"

The atmosphere in the station wagon cooled down, and everyone who was still talking and laughing all looked at Uncle Maori in response.

"I didn't expect there to be laymen in this group, it's really disappointing."

"These guys ......" Uncle Maori's eyes twitched, and he was indignant, so he turned his head to talk to his daughter Xiaolan.

"What about you?" A young man turned to the somewhat familiar Gao Cheng, "Shouldn't you be like him?" ”

Gao Cheng shrank aside, thinking that it would be fine if there was Maori blocking the gun, but his face stiffened when he heard this, and he said with a dry smile: "Of course I also like Mr. Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, but this time I didn't come as a Sherlock Holmes fan......"

"Really?" The young man lacks interest and doesn't want to continue talking to Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng smiled wryly and turned his head to look out the car window.

He likes the works in Sherlock Holmes, but he can't talk about the contents of the books like Conan, and he can't even remember the names of each work, so it would be troublesome if this 3-day trip was discussed like this.

Why did he agree to join this tour?

Of course, not only because of the free trip, but also because the owner of the tour group is a friend of Aunt Guimei, and it is not easy to refuse.

At night, the wagon drove along the winding road to its destination, an inn perched on a cliff.

It's not as luxurious as the Opera House, but it's also a big house, a three-storey bungalow, and a garage.

When Gao Cheng and his party came over, there was another station wagon that also brought a lot of people over at the same time.

"Welcome to the Myrnov Inn, I'm the innkeeper who planned this trip, Kanaya," the 51-year-old innkeeper dressed as Sherlock Holmes smiled as he entertained everyone in the hall, "All of you gathered here today are true Sherlock fans who have been carefully screened by me......

"Humph! Is it really a rigorous screening? It seems that a few laymen have mixed in, and some people are afraid that they can't even write the blessing characters of Sherlock Holmes! A middle-aged man who was traveling with Gao Cheng snorted coldly and looked at Uncle Maori.

"Is there really such a person?" The other group of people did not know the situation yet, and looked surprised.

"Well, it's the mustachioed man and the ...... beside him."

"These two seem to be the two detectives who have become famous lately, right? I've seen them on TV and in the newspapers several times. A young man with glasses suddenly spoke.

"That's right," the innkeeper Kanaya said with a smile, "They are the now famous detectives Mori Kogoro and Joto Takanari, in fact, Joto-kun is the grandson of one of my late teachers, so I specially invited him to come over as a special guest this time, haha, I didn't expect the Mori detective to come with me." ”

Saying that, Jin Gu turned to Gao Cheng again: "Chenghu-kun, this time I trouble you to come all the way over." ”

"Nothing," Gao Cheng looked curiously, "Were you my grandfather's student before?" ”

"Yes," said Boss Kanaya, nostalgically, "it was a long time ago, when Jimi was your grandfather's assistant, and I also met the teacher through Jimi...... However, time flies so fast, I remember that I hugged you when you were a child, but I didn't expect you to be so old now, and you have become a detective comparable to Sherlock Holmes, and the teacher should be happy if he knew. ”

"Huh? So that's ......"

Gao Cheng was quite surprised, he didn't know any of this, and no one had ever mentioned it to him before, no wonder Aunt Jimei treated him like a relative.

"Hmph," the man in glasses chuckled at Gao Chengdao, "he does have a good mind, but he is not at all comparable to Sherlock Holmes, in other words, I can easily solve those cases." ”

"That is to say, if we really want to compare, maybe even Dr. Watson next to Sherlock Holmes can't win." It was the glasses man's female companion who spoke, both of them were college students, and they were both members of the reasoning research society, and the glasses man was the president of the research society, and he thought that the cases on TV and newspapers were nothing remarkable.

Boss Jingu was a little embarrassed, these two people really didn't give him face, so he quickly changed the topic and said: "Anyway, let's spend these three days well, let me talk about the itinerary of these few days first......"

Gao Cheng leaned down and whispered to Conan, "Hey, I really can't even compare to Watson?" ”

Watson still knows that Conan Doyle's works are basically described from Watson's point of view, and he is considered an assistant to Sherlock Holmes, but it would be too much to say that he is not as good as Watson.

"Of course you're better than Watson," Conan laughed, "but forget about Sherlock Holmes, after all, the other party is Sherlock Holmes, no way." ”

Gao Cheng's face fell, and it was really self-inflicted to ask Sherlock Holmes fans this kind of question, especially Conan, who was definitely the most loyal and fanatical Sherlock Holmes fan in this tour group.

But Sherlock Holmes is just a character in the book, in reality......

Gao Cheng recalled in his mind the strange dreams he had when he got the detective system, Baker Street in London in the 19th century, and Sherlock Holmes...... I don't know if it's true, but it did give him a lot of encouragement, and the reason why he paid special attention to the details of the crime scene was because of Sherlock Holmes.

There is also the deductive method, his current detective thinking can be said to be greatly influenced by Sherlock Holmes, so he should also be a Sherlock Holmes fan, right?

After dinner, the boss of Jingu emphasized to everyone again: "Everyone, it's not early, please go back to your room to rest, tomorrow morning at nine o'clock breakfast, one o'clock lunch, eight o'clock dinner, after dinner is the highlight of the year - super difficult reasoning quiz, those who answer all the questions correctly, you can get this ......"

In the expectant eyes of many Sherlock Holmes fans, Boss Kanaya smiled and took an original English book: "That's right, it is the first edition of Sherlock Holmes's first appearance and Conan Doyle's famous work - "The Study of the Scarlet Letter"!! ”

"Wow!" All the Sherlock Holmes fans couldn't take their eyes off it, and all of them looked at the first edition of the rare book displayed by the boss with hot eyes, only Gao Cheng and Maori father and daughter did not react much.

"It's just a book, is it necessary?" Gao Cheng couldn't help but muttered when he saw that everyone seemed to have seen a peerless treasure.

"What do you mean it's just a book?" Conan glanced at him, "For Sherlock Holmes fans, this is a rare book that is hard to find, and if it is put outside for auction, it will start at least 1 million......"

"Can I also participate in the reasoning quiz?" Gao Cheng turned to Boss Jingu with a serious face and asked.

"Of course," said the owner of Kanaya in surprise, "but Joto-kun, before that, I have to fill out a quiz paper, which is about 1,000 questions about Sherlock Holmes......"

Gao Cheng was dumbfounded: "1000 questions? ”

"Yes, the purpose is to prove how much you admire Sherlock Holmes," Boss Kanaya nodded, and asked the waitress to hand out the test roll to everyone, "The deadline for handing in the papers is before dinner tomorrow, and only those with a total score of 990 or more can participate in the reasoning quiz."

"For the sake of prudence, please hand over your phone and reference books to the waiter, we don't want anyone to cheat!"
