Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 1074 The Detective’s Apprentice

The blond boy's steps are getting faster and faster. If he doesn't move faster, he won't be able to keep up with his sister's game.

"Classmate! Wait a minute!" Someone called out to him.

The blond boy stopped and turned around, only to see a black-haired Asian boy as big as himself running towards him.

"Hello! Do you speak Japanese?" Conan ran up to him and asked.

The boy nodded: "Yes, because I lived in Japan for a while before."

"Then can you tell me the case you just mentioned?" Conan asked.

The boy's expression instantly became wary: "Why should I tell you the case?"

Conan smiled slightly and winked at him: "Because... I am Holmes's apprentice! Classmate Glass!"

The boy suddenly looked surprised: "Eh? How do you know my name? Do you know me?"

"This is actually a very simple reasoning!" Conan gently shook his finger and said with an inscrutable expression:

"First of all, there is some white liquid and powder at the corner of your mouth. I think it should be the fresh cream and sugar added to the strawberries, right?"

"Also, the cup you are holding contains lime, cucumber, and mint. I think it is a drink called pimm's, but because you are a child, you did not put liqueur in it. Lemonade, right?”

The boy nodded subconsciously: "Yes, I asked the store clerk to specially mix this for me."

"That's right." Yu Gongming also walked over and took over the conversation in the boy's slightly surprised eyes.

"When it comes to sports that you can watch with strawberries and pimm's, it's Wimbledon."

"Today is the semi-finals of the women's singles. The first game started at one o'clock, but now it is already two o'clock, so if you want to rush to watch my sister's game, it should be the second game."

"At this point, it's easy to tell who your sister is by looking at your appearance."

"That's right!" Conan said with a smile: "One of the two sides in the competition is contestant Wang Haili, whose parents are Chinese. You don't look like an Asian."

"So, your sister should be her opponent, that is, the queen of lawns who has dominated Wimbledon for four consecutive years and is ranked number one in the world - Minerba Glass!"

The boy stared blankly at Conan and Hanemiya Akira, unable to recover for a moment.

"And..." Conan reached into the boy's jacket pocket and took out a medal-like pendant from it: "From your jacket pocket, you can still faintly see the pass to the VIP seats of Wimbledon Tennis Stadium. !”

The boy finally came to his senses and looked at Conan with bright eyes: "How awesome! Are you really Holmes' apprentice?"

"Of course!" Conan laughed.

"What about this big brother?" The boy looked at Yu Gongming again.

Yu Gongming smiled and said: "I! I am Holmes's companion."

"Eh? A companion? The eldest brother is... a detective!" the boy said in surprise.

"Yes!" Yu Gongming smiled.

"So, can you tell us now?" Conan asked.

"Yeah!" The boy nodded and began to narrate.

"Today at noon, I was eating strawberries and watching the winning players practice on Court No. 15. At this time, a man came to me and asked me [Do you like tennis?]."

"I replied that I liked it. Tennis is an exciting sport. Then the man suddenly said in a very strange tone, "Really? Then you are really lucky, because you will see something more exciting than this." ]."

"I asked him what it was and he told me [someone is going to be murdered, somewhere in London, right in front of... your eyes]."

Conan's eyes narrowed slightly and asked, "Have you seen his face?"

The boy shook his head: "The brim of his hat was so low that I couldn't see clearly, but he gave me this."

The boy took out a note from his arms and said: "He handed the note to me and said [Please tell Scotland Yard that this is my apocalypse. If you have no clue, you can go to Sherlock Holmes]."

Conan took the note and unfolded it.

I saw something written on the note in English.

The content is divided into several lines, each line is of different lengths, and the format is somewhat like poetry.

"You should be able to understand English, right?" the boy said anxiously.

Conan nodded slightly and browsed the contents silently.

Akira Yumiya squatted down and looked at the content above: "At first glance, I can't extract any useful information at all, but at least I can be sure that this is not a prank."

"Yes, the other party is obviously provoking Scotland Yard." Conan said calmly.

"Hey! You're here!" A man with brown hair ran over and said to the boy, "Don't run around, I've been looking for you!"

"Who is he?" Conan asked.

The boy smiled and introduced: "He is my sister's coach Ares. I heard that he was also a very good tennis player in the past. Because he was my sister's coach, he has a good relationship with my mother."

"Now he takes care of most of our family's affairs because my sister has to participate in the tour and my mother's eyesight is not good."

"That's it..." Conan understood.

At this time, Ares took the boy's hand and said in English: "Okay, it's time to go back now, the game is about to begin!"

The boy was obviously unwilling and looked at Conan longingly.

Conan smiled at him: "It's okay, you can go back first."

He raised the note in his hand: "I will help hand the note to the police. Since the person left the note, it means that he will give us time to think, and he will not commit a crime today."

The boy thought for a while and nodded slightly: "That's right. Then I will give you my mobile phone number. If you solve the puzzle on the note, you must contact me!"

"Okay!" Conan nodded.

While exchanging mobile phone numbers with Conan, the boy said, "My name is Apollo Glass, what's yours?"

"My name is Edogawa Conan." Conan smiled.

"Conan... sounds like Sherlock Holmes' apprentice!" Apollo said in surprise.

Conan smiled and said nothing, thinking to himself: "That's why I use this name as a pseudonym!"

After exchanging mobile phone numbers, Apollo and Ares left.

"Hey! What are you two brats doing here!" Mouri Kogoro and the others came over.

Yu Gongming shrugged: "Because of someone's nosy, our trip this time will probably become more exciting!"

Mouri Kogoro was stunned when he heard this, but Mengyu and Xiaolan immediately looked at Conan.

Conan met their gazes, scratched his head and smiled awkwardly: "There is nothing we can do about this!"
