The fake Kudo Shinichi incident didn't have much impact on Kaedehara's lives.

After that, they returned to their ordinary lives.

Every day is to solve the murder incident, or the bank robbery incident, and the most exciting one is to rub shoulders with someone disguised as Shuichi Akai and suspected of being Bourbon.

And when there is no case, Conan's heart is a little melancholy.

In that incident, he successfully met Xiaolan as Kudo Shinichi, and after changing back, he hid his identity in the doctor's car...

However, the imaginary thing that Xiaolan responded to confess as soon as she saw her did not happen.

Confessions, like antidotes, are time-sensitive...

Thinking about what Kaedehara said to himself, Conan felt a little more melancholy.

Because he thinks what Kaedehara said is right...

It's been a few months since he last hastily confessed to Xiaolan at the lookout restaurant, and of course he can't expect Xiaolan to respond to the confession he made so long ago as soon as they met...

"Hell! I didn't hit it again! ”

Uncle Maori's unhappy voice interrupted Conan's thoughts, causing him to come back to his senses, "What a bad day..."

At the moment, they are sitting in the Poirot Cafe downstairs from the detective agency, Uncle Maori is reading the horse racing newspaper here, Xiaolan is eating dessert with a satisfied face, and Conan is in a daze.

"Really!" Xiaolan was a little dissatisfied, "It's rare for people to eat colorful fruits, immersed in the atmosphere of the southern country... If you want to read the horse racing newspaper, you can read it in the detective agency! ”

"Huh?"

Uncle Maori, who turned his attention away from the newspaper, fell in love with the strawberry on top of Xiaolan's dessert at a glance, "Oh! What a delicious strawberry to look at! If you don't eat it, give it to me! ”

He was quick with his eyes, and he grabbed the strawberry in his hand and sent it directly to his mouth, Xiaolan reacted and quickly reached out to grab it.

"Don't! This is what I saved until the end..."

"What's the matter..."

"Hehe..."

Conan watched the farce in front of him with the eyes of the dead fish, and under his watchful eye, the strawberry fell to the ground in the scramble because of Uncle Maori's escape.

There's no need to grab it now...

Immediately afterward, a fat cat came out from under Uncle Maori's leg and tossed the strawberry.

"What's going on with this—this cat..."

"Do cats eat strawberries?" Xiaolan said curiously.

"Just play with your paws, right?"

Uncle Maori lifted the back of the cat's neck unhappily, "Really, where did this cat come from?" ”

"Meow!"

Then he was given a paw.

"You guy!"

Uncle Maori yelled angrily at the cat, and then the door of the café was suddenly pushed open, and a foreign woman about fifty or sixty years old rushed in, with two bodyguards behind her.

Her name is Diana Kingston.

"Ah, Venus!"

Ms. Diana took the cat from the stunned Maori uncle and hugged it tightly in her arms, "Great! You're okay! ”

Matching her appearance, she spoke English the whole time, and the same was true when she thanked Uncle Maori and Ran.

"Thank you so much for helping me find her!"

It's like they're thanking us...

"Because my dad is a detective!" Ran replied in English that she wasn't very proficient in.

"Great, I'm a mystery fanatic! I wanted to hear a few stories from you, but I'm on the plane back... I'd like to invite you to my home in London, can I? ”

……

A day later, Dr. Asasa was at his house.

"Ah, you're going to England next week?" Dr. Asasa looked at Conan with an excited face in surprise, "Then what are you going to do when you go to school?" ”

"From July 1st to 4th, Didan Elementary School and High School are connected because of the anniversary day and Saturday and Sunday, so you can take four days off in a row... Uncle and Xiaolan also want to go! Conan replied, "And the owner of the cat seems to be very rich, and said that she has paid for the travel expenses and the hotel!" ”

"It's good luck," Kaedehara said, "just happened to meet a cat, and it was possible to have such a good thing..."

"Yes! What a stroke of luck! ”

"That's great!" The doctor agreed, "You can go to London, where you've always wanted to go..."

"Hmmm! Although my father has taken me abroad a few times, I haven't been to London yet..."

Conan had a yearning expression, "I'm going to Baker Street first... Then go to Hyde Park, where Sherlock Holmes and Watson walked! There's also the British Museum, where Sherlock Holmes consulted materials!

If you have time, you would like to go to the stage of the Hound of the Baskervilles, Dartmoor National Park... And that Reichenbach Falls, where Sherlock Holmes and his arch-nemesis, Professor Moriarty, fell..."

"Woohoo! There are so many places you want to go! Conan said, looking at Kaedehara, "Really, Kaedehara?" ”

"Ahh She didn't invite me..."

In fact, whether it was his original self or the influence of Kudo Shinichi's memories, Kaedehara really wanted to see those holy places in Sherlock Holmes.

"It's okay! She won't mind! And isn't there also the funds for the activities of the anti-organization that Dad left behind? It's time to use it..."

In Conan's opinion, if he really wanted to go, Kaedehara as another himself must also want to go, and of course he didn't come to show off in front of Kaedehara.

But...

"What about passports?" Kaedehara asked.

"Huh?"

"Edogawa Conan and Kaedehara don't have passports."

"Ahh I completely forgot! ”

"Yes, yes," said the Doctor, "your current identities are fabricated, and you don't have passports at all..."

"Hey, Doctor!" Conan pleaded, "Can't you just think of a way?" Like forging a passport or something! ”

"What do you say! That's a crime! ”

"Hell!" Conan scratched his hair in annoyance, "I thought I could finally go to the holy land of Sherlock Holmes, do I want to stay and watch my family again?" ”

There was a brief silence in the living room.

"If you go over by yourself, it's not impossible..."After thinking for a moment, Kaedehara said.

"Huh? I can't help it..."

"The antidote, calculate the time to take the antidote, and you can go to London as Shinichi Nakdo."

"That's right!" Conan suddenly ran to the sofa sitting next to him, and seemed to have been looking at the side of Gray Yuan, who was in a fashion magazine, "Gray Yuan, is there any antidote to the last time?" Bring me a hundred first! ”

"Don't even think about it!" Gray Yuan didn't raise his head, "Let's not talk about the antidote, even if you change back, you two will only have the identity of Shinichi Kudo, right?" ”

"I'm not going," Kaedehara immediately stated, "and the method is there, and it will be the same next time..."

Ash Yuan raised his head to look at Kaedehara, Kaedehara looked away, and Conan, who had just been carried away by joy, also came back to his senses, a little embarrassed.

"That, Kaedehara..."

"Anyway, so be it." Kaedehara interrupted, "It's rare that someone is willing to reimburse the expenses, don't miss such a good opportunity..."

"Hmph..."Gray Yuan snorted softly, "Even so, I only have an antidote here, even if I do it now, I don't know if I can catch up..."

"I just have a spare one here..."

Gray Yuan glanced at Kaede Yuan angrily, then retracted his gaze and continued to look at his magazine, "That's a total of two, just used for back and forth, the effect of each one can last about twenty-four hours..."

Although Conan took the antidote last time because of an accident, he still provided enough research data for Gray Yuan Ai to further improve the antidote and accurately determine the time of effect.

"Uh-huh," Conan nodded hurriedly.

"Also, if you take the drug continuously, the duration of the effect will be halved..."

"Got it, thanks, Ashbara!"

Gray Yuan got up and went to the basement to get the antidote he had stored, and Conan took his spare antidote from Kaedehara, and then pulled him aside, "I'm sorry, Kaedehara..."

"It's okay, I don't have any thoughts about the Holy Land Tour," Kaedehara thought for a moment, and added in order to reassure Conan, "It's like I don't have any thoughts about Xiaolan..."

“… You guy," Conan snapped back, then paused, "Thanks, I'll be sure to bring you a bunch of souvenirs..."

Kaedehara didn't seem to be as eager as he was, and Conan felt a little better, but only some.

However, I definitely have to go...

Conan couldn't resist the temptation.

And using this way to go to London, it is obvious that you can't go with Uncle Maori and Xiaolan, so Conan needs to be accompanied by another adult, and this candidate can only be Dr. Asasa.

The doctor did not refuse.

They plan to leave next Thursday.

Uncle Maori and Ran will take a morning flight from Haneda Airport and arrive in London in the afternoon local time, just in time for Ms. Diana's invitation to dinner.

The flight lasted fourteen hours, and in order to be able to get a good time, after arriving in London, he met Uncle Maori and Xiaolan as Conan, and on Wednesday night, Conan and the doctor set off for Haneda Airport, intending to stay nearby for one night and let Conan transform there.

After saying goodbye to the Doctor and Conan, Kaedehara closed the door.

Ash Yuan was standing aside, his hands on his chest, looking at Kaede Yuan with a scrutinizing eye.

"What's wrong?"

"Do you regret it?" Gray Yuan said.

"Huh?"

"You'd love to go, wouldn't you?"

"Why..."

Gray Plains snorted softly, "Liar." When Edogawa said where you wanted to go that day, you obviously showed a yearning expression, and I saw it..."

"There's no such thing," Kaedehara refused, "and you were reading a magazine at the time..."

"Ah, Mr. Detective wanted to go so much that he didn't even notice what I was looking at... Although you are very good at hiding your emotions, and that expression is only for a moment, I just happened to see it..."

I just happened to see it again...

Kaedehara stared at Gray Yuan's eyes, and the pair of ice-blue eyes seemed to be churning faintly like the sea...

Not to be outdone, Gray Yuan stared back.

She seemed a little upset that day...

Kaedehara was defeated from the eye encounter.

"Okay, I want to go too, but there's no way around it..."

"It's not that you have to get used to the Edogawa..."

Hey, hey, what do you mean by getting used to...

"Why...," Kaedehara argued, "that person invited Conan in the first place, and besides, I don't want to go alone..."

"There's a doctor with you."

"Then I'm going to have to leave you alone at home..."

"I can go to Yoshida's house for a few days..."

Gray Yuan Wai crossed his hands on his waist and retorted menacingly.

Because they occasionally go to school together to take care of small animals, Gray Hara will also go to Ayumi's house to meet her, so she and Ayumi's family are relatively familiar, and it's no problem to stay there for a few days.

"Forget it, it's already this time," Kaedehara said, "and I still want to wait for next time..."

Kaedehara paused, "If we have the chance, let's go together..."

Graybara's mother is British, so even if Graybara wasn't interested in Sherlock Holmes, she would probably want to go over and check it out.

Kaedehara thinks so.

Gray Yuan was stunned for a moment, and lowered his eyes slightly.

"Maybe I won't have that opportunity in my life? If Kudo Shinichi's identity is barely usable, once Miyano Shiho's identity appears, it will immediately attract the attention of those guys..."

"There's always a chance..."

Kaedehara said, then stopped.

A car stopped outside the door and braked sharply.

Then someone got out of the car, and without hiding the sound of his footsteps, he walked straight towards the doctor's house, and from the footsteps it could be judged that it was two people.

And...

"Ahh

Gray Yuan was in the middle of speaking, but was interrupted by the doorbell.

……

The next day, on a plane to London.

"That's amazing! It turns out that the first class cabin is so spacious! ”

"I say, didn't you fly in first class last time?" Uncle Maori said while feeling in his heart how rich Ms. Diana was, "When I went to Hakodate..."

"Oh yes... But I feel like it's going to be more spacious this time..."Xiaolan said, showing a regretful expression, "But, what a pity... Conan didn't come along..."

"yes, I said I suddenly had something urgent to deal with..."

Ran nodded, "But it looks like he's going to be on the next plane with Dr. Asasa... Even the doctor's ticket came out together, and Ms. Diana is such a nice person! ”

"Yes," Uncle Maori agreed, and then glanced at Xiaolan, "but she didn't say that she even included the gift money, don't buy anything!" ”

"Huh?"

"You're going to buy a lot of things, aren't you?" Uncle Maori's tone was a little unhappy, "To that detective imp who is a Sherlock Holmes fan..."

"Just, I won't buy a lot!"

"Also, I'm sure he wants to come more than a gift..."

Listening to her father's words, Xiaolan showed a longing expression.

Really... It would be nice if Shinichi could come too...

"Ahh

In economy class on the same flight, Kudo's new version of Conan sat next to Dr. Asa and suddenly sneezed.

In order not to turn back into a child on the plane, Conan left some free time. Deliberately saying that he took the next flight to pass, but actually took the same flight, is also to cover this time.

After the plane arrives at Heathrow Airport, Conan hides in the toilet cubicle early, and waits until his body changes back to elementary school before joining Uncle Maori and Ran with the Doctor.

"So..."

Uncle Maori glanced at his watch, "There is still some time before I make an appointment with that rich aunt to meet at the hotel in the evening..."

"Let's go sightseeing first!" The doctor suggested.

"Where do you want to go?" Xiaolan asked Conan.

"Of course it is... Sherlock Holmes Museum! ”

Conan happily replied.

However, it would be nice if Kaedehara could have come too...

……

"Ahh

On another plane, a man couldn't help but sneeze.

He looked to be in his thirties and forties, with short black hair, square, black, full-rimed glasses, a beard above his lips, and the corner of his eye that always enveloped the woman beside him.

In the seat across the aisle, a young woman who looked no more than twenty years old had been sneaking at him, in fact, since she boarded the plane.

"That..."

After a while, she finally couldn't help but speak, "May I ask if you are Mr. Yusaku Kudo?" ”

She speaks English, and judging by her accent, she is British.

"It's me..."

"It's, it's really you! It's great to meet you here! The young woman stammered, "I'm sorry, I'm a fan of yours!" I've seen each of them many times! ”

Her excited voice caught the attention of the others, and there was a slight whisper around her. Obviously, as the world's premier reasoner, Yusaku Kudo is still quite famous.

"Thank you, I think, this is a compliment that every author cannot refuse, and of course, I am no exception..."

"Y-You're so polite... That's right! Can I ask you to sign it? My whole family is your fan..."

"Absolutely." The man bowed slightly.

"They will die of envy..."

She pulled out a notebook and a pen from her bosom and flipped the notebook to the title page, apparently hoping that the other party would sign here.

The man took it and expertly signed his name.

"Thank you! Thank you so much! I can't believe it..."

The young woman took back her notebook and glanced at it.

It's exactly the same as the signature of Mr. Yusaku Kudo that she had seen on the Internet...

Just by looking at it, I feel that my intelligence is improving rapidly...

She carefully put away the notebook, and then looked at the beautiful woman with curly brown hair beside the other party with some hesitation, "Then the one next to you is..."

There is no doubt that it is Yukiko Kudo.

She wants to get Yukiko Kudo's signature again, and it's best to sign it with Yusaku Kudo...

But Mrs. Kudo seems to be sleeping soundly with a blanket on...

"Yes, my wife."

The man turned his head to look over, his gaze softened, and he noticed that the eyelids of the tea-haired woman next to him moved slightly, "But... She's sleeping soundly now, so don't bother her, right? ”
