Conan: Another Famous Detective

Chapter 1075 A prank or a secret code?

In a taxi.

"So, do you really want to go to New Scotland Yard for this note that I don't know if it's a prank?" Mouri Kogoro asked with some doubts.

"We have already promised Apollo, even if this is a prank, this note should be handed over to the police." Xiaolan replied.

"I don't think this is a prank. The content on the note is not pleasant." Yu Gongming said calmly.

Mouri Kogoro frowned: "Huh? What do these notes in English mean? I can only understand a few scattered words..."

Conan looked down at the note and replied: "In order, if the sentences in each line are translated, it is probably."

[The roaring bell wakes me up from my sleep]

[I am a long-nosed magician living in a castle]

[Fill your stomach with hard-boiled eggs that are as cold as corpses]

[I will be satisfied after swallowing the pickled cucumber in one last bite]

[By the way, you have to order a cake in advance to celebrate]

[The bell that rings again arouses hatred in my heart]

[End it all, by penetrating the white back with two swords]

"That's probably it." Conan finally said.

Xiaolan's face turned a little ugly: "These words sound a little creepy..."

"According to Apollo, this note is the apocalypse of that person." Conan said.

"Although it has been translated, these words are still unintelligible! I really suspect that this is a prank by some madman." Mouri Kogoro said.

"But if this is a criminal plan, then we can't just sit back and watch, right?" Mengyu retorted.

"Anyway, let's go to New Scotland Yard first. Maybe we will make new discoveries?" Hanemiya Akira said with a smile.

…………

New Scotland Yard.

Conan and his group walked out of the police station with solemn expressions.

"So many children received those notes, this..." Mouri Kogoro looked in disbelief.

"I asked those children, and they said it was a man with dark skin, wearing a hat, and pigtails who was sending notes to them in parks, roadsides, and other places." Xiaolan said:

"The man was still whispering in the ears of those children that someone was dying in London and so on."

"I remember Apollo said [someone will die in front of your eyes]." Mengyu said faintly.

Yu Gongming's face darkened: "If those children heard similar words, it means that this is probably not a simple murder."

"It's a vicious incident that may endanger public safety!" Conan said coldly.

"If it is done in the crowd, then the recent Wimbledon tennis match should be the most worthy of attention." Mouri Kogoro said.

"Yes! Because many people will watch this game live or on TV!" Xiaolan said suddenly.

"No, something is wrong." Conan shook his head slightly: "I just observed that those children were wearing bicycle helmets. I think they turned on the TV and were staring at the Tour de France."

"Tour? What is that?" Mouri Kogoro wondered.

"It was a cycling race held in France." Akira Hanomiya explained: "The broadcast time of the cycling race almost overlaps with the Wimbledon tennis match, so you can't pay attention to the other side if you focus on one side."

"In other words, there are more possibilities, right?" Meng Yu frowned.

"Yes, although it is possible that the murderer is setting up the suspicion, before there is enough evidence to rule out this possibility, we can only expand the scope of the investigation."

"Places where crowds gather...Buckingham Palace and the British Museum are also possible." Mouri Kogoro guessed.

"London is an international metropolis, and there are many places where people gather. We still need to further narrow down the scope." Meng Yu said.

When Xiaolan heard this, she suddenly screamed: "Ah! It seems that the note has been handed over to the police! We don't want it back!"

"It doesn't matter, I have recorded the contents on my mobile phone, and I will send them to you now." Mengyu took out her mobile phone and sent the recorded passwords to everyone.

Everyone stared at their phones and began to study the passwords on them.

Conan's eyes flashed slightly and he murmured: "If this is a code that heralds a crime, then it is likely to have elements such as the time and place of the crime."

"If you understand it roughly, [roaring bells] refers to clocks, [I live in a castle] refers to buildings like castles, and [hard-boiled eggs], [pickled cucumbers], [cakes], and There is the [bell] mentioned again in the sixth sentence, and the [double sword] in the last sentence..."

"Combined, it can be inferred that there is a castle-like building with two watch shops nearby, as well as food and dessert shops, as well as shops selling weapons."

"Hey! Is there really such a place in London?" Moori Kogoro disagreed: "Even if there is, how can he guarantee that all the children who got the note can see it when he commits the crime there?"

"Then let's go get a map and confirm it, shall we? If there is really a building that meets the requirements, it should be a very well-known place." Akira Yunomiya suggested.

Everyone nodded.

Not long after, several people bought maps from a nearby store.

Several people gathered in front of the map, looking for the place where the suspected castle was marked on the map.

After a while.

Akira Yumiya clicked on several marked locations on the map: "These places are very famous castle buildings in London. Let's go and have a look around them for the time being."

"Yeah!" Everyone nodded.

"In order to save time, we will split up and finally meet at the hotel where we and the aunt agreed to meet!" Yu Gongming arranged.

No one raised any objection to this.

Not long after, Conan and Maori's father and daughter, and Yu Gongming and Mengyu's group began to act separately.

…………

evening.

Everyone healed at the hotel where they were about to stay.

"We haven't found any building that meets the conditions here." Yu Gongming spoke first.

"The same applies to us here. Even if there are buildings similar to castles, there are not so many messy shops nearby, and there are no people near some castle buildings at all." Mouri Kogoro said.

"It seems that there are some problems with the direction." Yu Gongming's face darkened.

"So this kind of code is not that easy to solve. Take your time. Anyway, according to your statement, the prisoner will not commit the crime immediately, right?" Mouri Kogoro said with relief.

"Although that's what I say, if the code can be unlocked early, we can also prepare early." Conan said.

"Forget it, it's almost the appointed time, let's go in and meet with Ms. Diana first," Hanemiya Ming said.

"Okay, I've been running all afternoon, and I happen to be a little hungry." Mouri Kogoro said.

So, a few people walked towards the luxury hotel not far away.
