Chapter 200: Miss Glasses
In the hotel suite, Kaedehara and Gray Yuan Ai gathered together to check the information just like they did in the morning.
"Does he know how to use a gun?"
"Didn't say...," said Gray Yuan Ai as he checked, "He didn't use a gun in his previous operations... Do you think he's going to kill Glass by sniping? ”
"When Hades was spreading the code, he told many people that someone was going to die, right in front of each other... So I think he's trying to get his hands dirty on the live game..."
Kaedehara sat beside Ash Yuan with his chin propped up, "But it's really difficult to use sniping, and it's too easy to be discovered... The key is that there is no way to record the video..."
Hades had recorded the scene of the crime before, and Kaedehara felt that this time should be no exception.
Gray Yuan didn't reply, but tilted his head slightly and quietly looked at Kaedehara as he thought.
"He probably still wants to use bombs..."
Kaedehara then pondered, "This is more in line with the statement that many people can see it, and it can also record a video... But it's okay to bomb the audience, but it's a bit of a thing to blow up the people on the stadium — by the way, Graybara, help me see information about Minerva Glass's mother. ”
"Her mother?"
"Hmm." Kaedehara explained, "Didn't Hades do all this series of things because of his mother's death? I think revenge for him can be taken not only against Glass, but also against her mother..."
This is the so-called making the other person feel the same pain as yourself...
In rice flowers, this kind of thinking is still quite common among prisoners.
From online reports and previous interviews with Minerva Glass, they learned that her mother was nearly blind due to an accident, but she would come to the final of every Minerva competition.
"Except for last year's All French Open," said Graybara, "that was the time she lost..."
Hades also lost his mother's life and his entire life on that occasion. In that case, there is a real good chance that he will target Minerva Glass's mother..."
This is just speculation about the psychological activities of the other party, but for a criminal like Hades, this speculation is enough to pay a certain amount of action.
Thinking of this, although it was still early in the morning in Japan, after all, it was about the lives of many people, so Kaedehara still called Yusaku Kudo directly.
But...
It doesn't work.
"What's wrong?"
"Hmm..."Kaedehara dialed Kudo Yukiko instead, but he couldn't get through either, "I think Daddy might really care about this..."
Early the next morning.
Kaedehara and Ashbara still used the same way as before to sneak out of the room while there was no one in the hallway, and they didn't meet the two people Kudo Shinichi had seen ten years ago.
They took a taxi directly to Wimbledon Stadium, and Kaede had planned to see the environment.
However, the final was going to be held at 2 p.m., so the pitch was obviously not that easy to blend into, so they walked around the perimeter.
"What are you looking at?"
Kaedehara asked, noticing that he was a child and quietly observing nearby pedestrians with glasses.
"Maybe that Hades is stepping on a little bit here?" Gray Yuan replied, "If he wants to do something in the afternoon..."
"He wouldn't be here now, if it was so easy to spot, he would have been caught..."
"Not necessarily..."
Gray Yuan snorted softly, "I noticed a very suspicious woman... Maybe he's pretending..."
As she spoke, she subconsciously stopped talking, because the woman over there, wearing a hat and sunglasses, with long black hair under the hat, no longer looked around, but walked straight towards her.
"Oh, you said the one over there, that one is..."
"Hey!" The woman with long black hair bent over and looked at Gray Yuan with a smile, "Miss Glasses~"
Gray Yuan was stunned for a moment, "Yes, there is Sister Xizi... Aunt. ”
She heard it by listening to the voice, and then Yukiko Kudo in front of her half-took off her sunglasses and winked at her.
"Why Miss Glasses?" Kaedehara asked.
"Of course, it's because when Xiao Ai and Ling go out, they always wear your glasses... Really, such a lovely face is covered by your glasses... Isn't it? ”
She explained to Kaedehara, and finally looked at Ashbara, who was praised a little, blushing slightly, and didn't know how to respond for a while, but fortunately, Kaedehara immediately cut to the point.
"By the way, how did you get here?" Kaedehara asked, "You can't use your original identity anymore, can you?" ”
"I temporarily borrowed the identity of a friend that your dad knew..."Yukiko Kudo replied, "Don't worry, there will be no problem..."
"In that case, you can let me and Gray Yuan use someone else's identity at that time..."
"I didn't have time to find someone else!"
Although Kudo Yukiko explained it like this, Kaedehara still felt that she just wanted her and Ashbara to use their identities...
Probably some kind of weird bad taste.
"And," Yukiko Kudo continued, "your father and I had no plans to come to London at the time... Your dad didn't solve the code last time but he couldn't stop the crime, so he's a little concerned... It just so happened that I couldn't worry about you, so I rushed over..."
She helped make the cross-dressing props, and also dismantled the main part of the doctor's button-type voice changer and integrated it into the camouflage, which gave Kaedehara and Gray Yuan a way to come out alone.
"We're fine..."
"By the way," Yukiko Kudo changed the subject, pulling Kaedehara to whisper, "How are you and Xiao Ai doing?" ”
"Huh?" Kaedehara was stunned for a moment.
"Really, I made you pretend to be me and your father, thinking you two could make some progress! Xiaoxin, you shouldn't have done nothing, right? ”
"And the case..."
"Don't change the subject!"
"It's not good to keep whispering like this, and let Gray Yuan stay aside..."
"Hmph..."
Kudo Yukiko directly left Kaedehara behind, and pulled Ashbara aside to whisper, thinking that Kaedehara had a good sense of hearing, she deliberately walked a long way, and specially told Kaedehara not to listen.
After a while, the whispering over there was over.
"Your dad is in Scotland Yard right now," Kudo Yukiko said to Kaedehara and Ashbara, "shall we go over now?" ”
……
In the afternoon, before the start of the game.
Wimbledon.
Minerva Glass's younger brother, Apollo Glass, is surrounded by his sister's fans.
Although she can't see Minerva, it is also very satisfying for fans to be able to say a word of cheer to her brother.
After a short while, the fans dispersed, and Apollo left with a bag given to him by one of the fans, which contained a stuffed animal that the other had given to his sister.
However, now he naturally can't disturb his sister who is preparing to play, he is going to wait until his sister wins the game before giving it to her, and now he will hand it over to his mother first...
Today is the final, and my mom is also coming to see the game...
He suddenly noticed two tall men in trench coats appear in front of him.
"Can you give us this toy? This is a necessary security check. ”
The other side.
The man who handed the teddy bear to Apollo watched Apollo turn away from his sight, a smug smile on his lips.
He pressed the brim of his hat and walked into the bathroom with his rucksack on his back. By the time he came out again, he had taken off his hat, his curly black hair had turned into short blonde hair, and he had put on a pair of glasses.
But before he could take two steps, he was stopped by two men in trench coats, suspected to be plainclothes policemen, and in front of him was a bald black man holding a newspaper with a photograph on it.
"Excuse me, did you see this man?"
"Huh?"
"He looks like he just walked into the toilet you walked out of..."
"Who is this man?" He looked curious.
"He's the vicious prisoner who is causing a commotion in London right now...", the bald man unfolded the newspaper to reveal another photo, "and it should be like this now..."
"No, I didn't see it!"
"Really? I'm sorry..."
The bald man said a word and turned around and left with his companion.
The man with the rucksack glanced at the two men and heard them say that the prisoner should not be here.
He turned around directly, stretched out his right hand, which had been in his pocket, and opened his canvas bag to take a look.
Inside were wigs, hats, and coats.
Incompetent guys...
Sure enough, no one can reach my realm...
He was a little smug.
Then a childish child's voice suddenly sounded around him.
"Uncle, what's in your canvas bag?"
He subconsciously pulled the zipper back of the canvas bag, looked to the side, and found that it was a very cute looking Asian child who was looking up at him.
"Nothing... Just towels and water..."
"Oh... I thought it was a wig and a hat..."
"What are you talking about?" The canvas bag man's face changed slightly, and his right hand, which was originally placed on the canvas bag, quietly touched back into his pocket, "What about the adults in your family?" ”
"Right next to you."
He was stunned for a moment, and then he felt his right wrist being gripped tightly.
"Although you have changed your face, your voice... I remember very well..."Yusaku Kudo said, "Mr. Hades Sabala..."
This man is Hades.
He had already been targeted when he gave Apollo the plush toy, but in order to dispose of the bomb first, Yusaku Kudo and the police did not directly do it.
As a child, Kaedehara, who was not easy to be alert, quietly followed him. And, despite the fact that he removed his disguise, his shoes and canvas bag were still the same.
At this moment, the police officers over there had confirmed that there was a bomb in the teddy bear toy, and handed the bomb to the bomb disposal team, who notified them through a headset.
It is worth mentioning that because they didn't want to cause a commotion, the police also sent someone to buy a new teddy bear doll and rushed over.
Hades' face changed suddenly, and he was deeply impressed by the man who had unraveled his code without being there.
He tried to struggle, but his wrist was clenched very tightly, and his left hand was clenched tightly as he tried to get out of the attack.
It was the bald man and his companion who had just pretended to leave.
"That's it, Hades Sabala..."
"Because we were worried that you had a detonator in your pocket, we waited until you took your hand out before we acted..."Kaedehara explained intimately, "I didn't expect you to confidently reach out and look at your canvas bag after being interrogated... Saved a lot of effort..."
And so the incident was resolved.
Yusaku Kudo is responsible for follow-up communication with the police. He and Yukiko Kudo would also return to their temporary hotel in the afternoon, so that Kaedehara and Ashbara could board the plane back to Japan.
"There's still some time," Kaedehara glanced at his watch and said to Gray Yuan, "Shall we go for a spin?" ”
"Okay."
"Do you have a place you want to go?" Kaedehara cautiously proposed, a little worried that it would affect Ashbara's mood, "For example, where your mother used to live..."
"No need." Gray Yuan Wai shook his head slightly, "Let's go to the Sherlock Holmes Museum..."
"But..."
"It's nothing, I want to go too, let's go..."Ash Hara urged, "By the way, why don't you tell Edogawa them?" ”
"Well... Mom said she would go and tell Conan..."
……
"Hey, it's past two o'clock!" In the taxi, Uncle Maori glanced at his watch, "The race has begun!" ”
Yesterday, Dr. Asa received a reply from Kaedehara and learned the location of the codes, and he was able to unravel the codes, even though he didn't seem to need them.
And just now, they deduced that the target of the prisoner was Wimbledon Stadium, where the final was played today, so they hurried over.
"But," said the Doctor, "what are you going to do at Wimbledon?" And there are no tickets..."
"As long as there is momentum! What's the problem! ”
"Momentum, momentum..."
"How? Conan..."Ran asked Conan, who was on the phone, "Did you get through Apollo?" ”
"Not yet... Maybe he turned off the power while watching the game..."Conan said, and the phone was connected, "Ah... Hey, hey! Apollo? Is it Apollo? What are you doing? Why don't you contact me? ”
"I'm sorry... Where are you now? ”
Apollo replied, "It's not good to answer the phone in the audience, so I'll go up the aisle... By the way, you called, did you mean that the prisoner who gave me the code has been caught? ”
"Ah, no, not yet..."
"Then what are you calling me now! I'm watching my sister's game! ”
"Is there anything strange on the field? Or did someone talk to you? ”
"Ah, my sister's fans are telling me to come on! My mom and Ares and I all know each other... She also gave me a big stuffed animal for me to give to my sister! That's right! There are guards who have taken the stuffed animals to go and check! It took a long time for them to get the toys back..."
After all, it's a world-renowned game, and it's normal to have increased security...
“… And how is your sister doing? ”
Conan asked about Minerva, and then tried to get a ticket to enter the stadium, but Apollo didn't have any spare tickets.
When he came to the gate of Wimbledon Stadium, there were guards again, and because he was in a hurry, Conan even wanted to shoot the guards out with a tranquilizer gun.
But then Lady Diana appeared beside them.
She helped them get tickets to Murray Mound, a place to watch the game on the big screen on the sidelines of Wimbledon.
After watching it for a while, Conan, who had come back from his thoughts, asked Xiaolan, "So, how is the game?" ”
"It seems that Miss Minerva is not in good shape..."Xiaolan showed a worried expression, "The serve has been touching the net... Now down 0-3..."
Minerva then lost the first game with a score of 0-6.
Each time she serves, she touches the net two or three times and then makes a soft serve.
But, it's weird...
Conan thought to himself, the first serve can be completely free from mistakes, and the strong serve to the boundary... But don't talk about double mistakes just now, there wasn't even a single mistake...
"Ah, it's out! The landing position of Miss Minerva's serve in this match! Xiaolan looked at the screen, "The location of the tennis ball seems to be marked as well..."
"It's like being measured, and the drop point is very clear..."
This is...
"Hey! Miss Minerva today..."Conan, who thought of something, looked at Xiaolan, "Is there anything strange?" ”
"Strange place? Are you saying she's not in good shape on her serve? ”
"No, it means that she will do things that she doesn't usually do, or don't do things that she usually does..."
"W-So..."
The screen happened to be a close-up of Minerva.
"She doesn't seem to be wearing a bracer on her right hand..."Xiaolan said, "She clearly said in an interview that she would definitely wear a bracer given to her by her father whenever she was in the final... Did you forget to bring it? ”
Bracers?
Conan hurriedly emailed Apollo to ask him to come out and meet.
A moment later.
"What? The prisoner's target is his sister? Apollo was surprised.
"That's right! Probably your sister also found out, so she told us the location of the landing point of the serve! ”
"But how did she know?" Dr. Asasa was puzzled.
"I guess the prisoner told her, like hiding a letter on the inside of the bracer... It's unlikely that you'll always use a racket, but if you wear a bracer that you only wear in the finals, you'll have a chance to do it..."
"So, my sister's bag I didn't see in the hotel last time... But I found it right away, and the contents were also checked..."
"It must have been the hands and feet that moved at that time! If you have the inside of the bracer, you don't usually check it carefully..."
"Then I'll tell everyone!"
"No way!" Uncle Maori stopped, "I don't know how the prisoner wants to kill your sister... However, that guy is the most vicious criminal who detonated the hospital as soon as the code was solved! ”
"If you cause a commotion and stop the game, maybe your sister will be killed in that instant!"
"So what to do? You don't want me to watch in silence, do you? ”
"We don't mean to be silent... So, can you give me your ticket? Conan stretched out his hand and said, "I'll go to the central venue to find the prisoner in your place... Will definitely protect your sister! ”
After all, the other party was a person who claimed to be a disciple of Sherlock Holmes, and Apollo did not refuse.
Coming to the center court, Conan looked at Minerva's serve in the third game on the court and confirmed his guess just now - Minerva spelled out Braille with the landing point of the serve in order to prevent the prisoner from discovering it, and it was "HELP"...
She's asking for help from someone who can read the signal...
By tracking the telescope function of the glasses, Conan also confirmed that Minerva had left her bracers under her own rest bench.
There was a piece of paper on the inside of the bracer, but it was mostly blocked, and he couldn't see what was written on it.
And now, she has to tell Minerva that she's here to help her without affecting the game, so that she can find a way to tell herself what is written on the paper...
Conan thought to himself, and then he heard the people next to him start shouting for Minerva, who seemed to be in poor shape, until the referee asked for silence.
Seeing this, Conan stretched out his hands in a gesture of hugging the sky, and shouted at Minerva, "Minerva! I'll help you! Because I'm a disciple of Sherlock Holmes! ”
Because the others in the vicinity had quieted down, his voice stood out, and Minerva heard it at once, and thought of the "disciple of Sherlock Holmes" that her brother had told her.
"Can you really help me when you're so young?" Minerva asked.
"When, of course..."
Everyone around laughed, Conan was a little embarrassed, but then he became serious again, now is not the time to lose time.
Just then, he heard his phone ring.
Really...
Who's calling at such a critical time...
Thinking like this, Conan still picked up the phone and glanced at it...
"Mom, Mommy?"
