This move shocked Mao Lilan, Mao Li Kogoro, Dr. A Li, and Detective Hakuba on the other side of the phone.
Everyone including Kuroba Kaito and Conan also heard this somewhat broken roar.
Baima Tan looked a little surprised, because he had met Mao Lilan before during the Dusk Villa incident.
In his impression, Mao Lilan was a gentle girl, at least she would not say such things.
"Who are you?"
"I am Sera Masumi! Who are you?" Sera's anger was still not gone, and he asked on the phone.
Shiliang?
Detective Bai Ma frowned slightly, and for the first time his mind thought of this special surname, which was the surname of the suspect just confirmed.
"I am White Horse Detective..." White Horse Detective said his name without being humble or condescending.
Hearing this, Sera raised his eyebrows slightly and replied in a slightly sarcastic tone: "Oh~ Who did I think was so arrogant? It turns out to be the high school detective who often wears the same clothes as Sherlock Holmes and comes in and out of murder scenes...
"
"I heard that you couldn't catch Kaitou Kidd in Japan, so you returned to England in despair, right?"
Upon hearing this, several black lines appeared on Bai Ma Tan's forehead.
Kuroba Kaito secretly rejoiced inwardly, hehe~ This is my credit!
Although I am not good at solving problems, creating problems is my strength!
Faced with Sera's sarcasm, Baima Tan was worthy of being a young man who had received an aristocratic education, and he did not quarrel with Sera angrily.
He quickly put away the displeasure on his expression and turned to the phone with a smile: "Since you think your reasoning ability is better than mine, why did you call me to ask for the answer to this puzzle?"
"It only took me a few seconds to solve the puzzle. The answer is..."
Before Bai Ma Tan could finish speaking, Shiliang put his mouth on the phone receiver, "Tch~ Who needs you to teach me!"
"I can see through this simple puzzle at a glance, isn't it..."
Sera Masumi did not tell lies, she had indeed seen through the answer.
Although she is not considered a senior Sherlock Holmes fan based on her knowledge of Sherlock Holmes, her basic reasoning skills alone are enough to solve the puzzle.
However, just when she was about to speak out the answer first, Kuroba Kaito on the side finally put on the wireless headphones handed over by Conan, and his clever reasoning and IQ took over the high ground again.
"The reason why I don't know is because I only look with my eyes instead of observing with my heart..."
"This is what Holmes said to Watson in A Scandal in Bohemia, when he was showing Watson a pink envelope."
"Back to the puzzle, since the murderer wrapped the letter in a plastic bag, it means that the letter needs to be wetted with water to reveal the true content."
Kuroba Kaito conveyed the voice of Conan through the wireless earphones, and then used his superb acting skills to completely retell it.
For a moment, Detective Baima couldn't tell the truth from the lie.
what's the situation?
I just wanted to use this incident to force Kuroba Kaito to reveal his identity, but in the end, he was forced to show his reasoning ability?
Even memorized the lines from Sherlock Holmes?
Magic genius, reasoning genius...which one is your true face?
Kuroba Kaito...
On the other side of the phone, Sera also vaguely heard the confident voice of "Kudo Shinichi" and shouted happily.
"Haha! I'll just say it~"
"That person can definitely solve this mystery!"
At this time, she was a little too excited and realized that her behavior was a little out of line.
She turned to look at the people around her, and they all looked at her with doubts on their faces.
"Zhenchun, did you know Shinichi before?" Mao Lilan asked.
"Forehead……"
Seriang looked a little embarrassed and quickly handed the phone back to Mao Lilan's hand with a smile.
"Haha, that's not really true, but I often watch Japanese news and saw Kudo Shinichi..."
"By the way, why don't we quickly interpret the key clues of the murderer in the correct way!"
Seriang tried to change the topic, which made Mao Lilan feel even more suspicious.
It's not that Seriang doesn't want to reveal that she is the girl she met at the beach 10 years ago.
But once you tell such an old story with great emotion, and the other person still says that he doesn’t remember you, that would be too embarrassing!
She is serious and pure, but also shameless!
Just like that, Mouri Kogoro ran to a nearby place and bought a bottle of mineral water. He poured the mineral water on the paper he took out of the plastic bag. The title A Scandal in Bohemia was almost blurred, except for a capital letter "S".
"Yes!"
"It's the letter S!"
Mao Lilan told the other party on the phone the information he had obtained, and White Horse Detective, Conan, and Kuroba Kaito all heard it.
However, since Detective Baima doesn’t know the entire case, he can’t keep up with the version, so he doesn’t know what the meaning of this answer is.
Kuroba Kaito took the phone back and said softly: "I understand, Xiaolan."
"Then it's up to you in London. When you find the next clue, call me at any time..."
When Mao Lilan heard Kuroba Kaito's gentle and magnetic voice, the deer jumped a little and his face turned a little rosy.
"Well! Just leave it to me!"
After hanging up the phone, Kuroba Kaito put the phone into his trouser pocket without any hesitation in his dirty little hands.
Conan: Hello! That's my phone number!
No one knows what the dwarf is thinking. The only target that White Horse Detective is currently paying attention to is the man in front of him, whose name is Kudo Shinichi and whose name is Kuroba Kaito.
Is this guy actually riding two boats?
When he was attending Ekoda High School, Hakuba Tan knew from his classmates that Kuroba Kaito and Nakamori Aoko were childhood sweethearts and were a recognized couple in the class.
Although they themselves would not admit it at all.
But I didn't expect that Kuroba Kaito, a guy with a human face and an animal heart, already had such a good girl by his side, and he would hook up with another one.
Could it be that his purpose in disguising himself as Kudo Shinichi was to approach and pry away the girl named Mao Lilan?
Hum, I bet on the name of the White Horse family, I will definitely let you show your flaws!
"Although the little puzzle has been solved, it's time to tell me the origin of that little puzzle, right?"
"What exactly are you trying to solve in London?"
Kuroba Kaito looked at Detective Hakuba and knew that there was no need to hide anything from him. After all, London was his base and he could know everything with just one phone call.
So, Kuroba Kaito told him the whole incident, starting from when the kid named Apollo received a note from a stranger...
"Hades...I know this person."
Detective Baima restrained his expression and said very seriously: "He is a person with an extremely dark and twisted heart. He attributed his mother's death to others, and thus committed a series of crimes."
"It seems that this time he is probably planning to commit a crime in a certain place to avenge his mother..."
Kuroba Kaito also followed Hakuba Tan's words and reasoned: "The letters collected from the location indicated by the code are S, T, N, A..."
"But there are two reminders of Big Ben in the code text, so it should be..."
Conan, who was standing low, raised his chin and said seriously: "SATAN, Satan."
Hakuba Tan, who was frowning and thinking next to him, was startled and looked at Conan in confusion.
Conan didn't realize at this time that his knowledge was already a little beyond the scope. Fortunately, Kuroba Kaito was the first to notice something was wrong with Hakuba Tan's expression, and turned around to interrupt.
"yes!"
"Satan, I told you before..."
"But Satan is not a place. The code has not been completely solved yet. In fact, it should be somewhere else, right?"
Kuroba Kaito once again took the credit for himself, which allowed Detective Hakuba to dispel his doubts a little.
Just when everyone in the conference room was thinking about the secret code, Detective Baima's phone suddenly rang.
He walked to the side, picked up the phone, and hung up the phone after answering "Yeah, um, got it" a few times.
Hakuba picked up the phone, walked to the opposite side of Kuroba Kaito and Conan, and said seriously: "The Japanese side has not investigated the information of 'Sera Elena'."
"It's possible that she lives an anonymous life in Japan..."
Baima Tan's eyes narrowed slightly, but he actually had other thoughts in his mind.
The person collecting data this time was not the inefficient Japan Metropolitan Police Department, but the Hakuba Research Institute.
In order to control the growing crime rate, the Hakuba family, which has the highest status in Japan's police circles, proposed a project.
That is to collect the information data of all people living in Japan.
This includes basic identity information, DNA information, travel record information, etc.
In the near future, this system will further connect with police organizations around the world to form a huge surveillance network.
There is even a certain "new technology" that even White Horse Detective doesn't know about, which is being secretly advanced...
Although the system is currently not fully developed, it is still in a basically usable state.
It can quickly retrieve various information about criminal suspects, leaving the criminals with nowhere to hide.
However, I didn't expect that even a British person who had given birth to a child in Japan could not retrieve any data.
Is there something missing in the system?
Or was this woman's information deliberately hidden in some way?
…
On the other side, Sera Masumi, Mao Lilan and others are still looking for clues to the code in London.
At Elephant and Castle Station, four people searched around the station for an hour, but did not find any suspicious props.
This made Mouri Kogoro gradually lose his patience, and said angrily: "Look, I just said that man's reasoning is nonsense, and the place where the code refers to is not here at all..."
"Dad, you were obviously the one who said what others said made sense~"
Mao Lilan complained helplessly to Mao Li Kogoro.
But it was difficult to gain anything by searching around the station, so she could only call Kudo Shinichi again.
This time the call was answered quickly, because this time the call was directly in the hand of Kuroba Kaito.
"Shinichi, we are now at the Elephant and Castle Station..."
"It's like this. When we were eating in a restaurant, we met a blond man and told us that the second sentence of the code was here, so we came here."
"But we've been searching here for an hour and haven't found anything."
On the other side of the phone, Kuroba Kaito was smarter this time and put the phone on speakerphone, allowing Conan to make inferences directly based on the content on the phone.
Detective Baima and Conan leaned close to the phone and listened. When Conan heard the blond man, his eyes suddenly froze, and in his mind he thought of the man who "haunted" him.
"What kind of blond man is he?!"
"Huh? Conan?"
Mao Lilan was stunned. It was Conan who was speaking, and the focus was not on the code.
"A blond man is a blond man, so what's the difference? Don't all foreigners look the same?"
"I just remember he was wearing a pair of sunglasses..."
At this moment, Conan quickly prompted, "Is he the same as the blond man who was wanted in the attack on police officer Chiba?"
"Hmm..." Mao Lilan groaned, recalling the scene at that time in his mind, and then realized why he felt that the other person looked familiar at that time.
"That's right! I just remembered it when you said that!"
"It seems that he does look like the man on the wanted poster..." Mao Lilan changed the subject again and hesitated: "But Britain is so far away from Japan, so we wouldn't meet him by chance, right?"
Conan grinned slightly and glanced at Kuroba Kaito next to him.
Huh, that's not necessarily the case...
"Sister Xiaolan, do you remember anything else about that man..."
Just when Conan was about to continue asking questions, Kuroba Kaito, who felt something was wrong, quickly interrupted: "Conan, Xiaolan, what are you talking about?"
"We are discussing passwords now, so let's turn the topic back to passwords..."
When Mao Lilan heard that it was Shinichi's voice, she was very obedient and corrected the topic, "The man said that the second code was prompted by the name. It has a long nose and a castle, so it is the Elephant and Castle station..."
"So did that man say something wrong?"
"No, there shouldn't be..."
At this time, the white horse detective who had been silent for a long time finally spoke.
He said calmly: "Actually, before you called, I was thinking that the location of the second code prompt should be Elephant and Castle Station."
"But since you can't find it at the station, you can also go to the hypermarket near the station and have a look. Maybe you will find something..."
As soon as Hakuba Tan finished speaking, on the other side of the phone, Masumi Sera, who was a few meters away from Mao Lilan, grabbed the arm of a strange uncle at the station.
Sera Masumi grinned slightly, revealing a somewhat masculine and handsome smile.
"Uncle, are you Hades?"
"What?"
The Mediterranean uncle with a circle of brown curly hair on the back of his head looked at Sera Masumi in surprise and subconsciously tried to free his arm, but Sera held on to him tightly.
Mao Lilan and others noticed the movement here and ran over quickly.
And Sera Masumi calmly forcibly lifted the man's arm, taking with him the briefcase that the man was holding.
The word "Identity" is clearly written on the briefcase.
"A case of Identity, also called the missing groom case, is also one of the Sherlock Holmes series."
"I have been observing you for a long time. You have been hanging around the station. What is your purpose?"
