Conan: Another Famous Detective

The three of them ran all the way to an uncovered drain in the middle of the bridge.

On the edge of the drainage outlet, there is a line of words engraved - [The valley of fear]

"Uncanny Valley?" Yu Gongming frowned: "This is a long story!"

"Well... let me think about it..." Conan closed his eyes slightly and began to think.

Yu Gongming and the others did not disturb him, but they were not idle either. They began to search around to see if there was anything suspicious.

About a minute passed.

"I thought of it!" Conan's eyes lit up!

He turned his head slightly and saw Yu Gongming and Meng Yu leaning against a street lamp near the drainage outlet.

"Huh? What are you..." Conan walked over curiously.

"Could the so-called clue be here?" Akira Yumiya pointed to the middle of the street light pole.

I saw a rope tied to the lamppost. The rope hung down along the bridge and finally fell into the Thames River below.

"That's right! That's it!" Conan's expression became more determined: "In the uncanny valley, Sherlock Holmes once said [if something heavy disappears by the water, then something must have sunk into the water, there is no doubt about it]."

"Okay! Then pull up the thing tied with the rope!"

Yu Gongming and Meng Yu pulled the rope reasonably, and after a while, the thing tied to the other end of the rope was pulled up.

That's a drain cover.

On the lower right corner of the lid, the letter [A] is engraved.

"The letters found so far are the three letters TNA..." Mengyu concluded.

"So, let's look for a building that looks like a cake next..." Conan frowned, thinking about whether there were similar buildings in London.

"Hey! It's you!" A childish voice sounded.

Everyone turned their heads and saw Apollo, whom they had seen this afternoon, waving excitedly towards them. Next to him, there was a young woman with blond hair wearing sunglasses and a hat.

Upon seeing this, Yu Gongming and others looked at each other and walked to the two Apollos together.

Apollo looked at Conan with bright eyes: "Are you investigating this afternoon's code?"

Conan nodded: "Yes! We are investigating."

"Have you discovered anything now?" Apollo asked.

"There are some..." Conan gave a general summary of what he and the others had discovered. By the way, he also showed Apollo the drain cover with letters engraved on it.

Apollo looked at the letters engraved on the cover, his eyes widened slightly, and then he exclaimed in amazement: "Wow! As expected of Sherlock Holmes' apprentice, he found such a hidden clue!"

"It's okay!" Conan smiled modestly.

"Thank you very much for being so caring about Apollo!" The woman next to Apollo spoke at this time.

Akira Hanomiya smiled slightly: "You're welcome, Miss Glass. Apollo's code is very interesting, and it's almost certain that it's not a prank. We can't just sit idly by."

The young woman was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "As expected of a detective, you immediately found out my identity!"

That's right, the woman next to Apollo is his sister, known as the Queen of the Grass - Minerba Glass!

"But didn't Miss Minerba just finish the competition this afternoon? Why did she appear here?" Mengyu asked in confusion.

Minerva smiled and said, "That's right! I just came out to relax because I just finished the competition. It happened that Apollo was also a little troubled by the code, so I went out with him for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet you."

Yu Gongming smiled, and then asked: 'By the way, you two should be quite familiar with London, right? Is there a building in London that looks very much like a cake? ’

Apollo's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this: "I know this!"

"Oh? Really?" Conan immediately showed surprise.

"Yeah!" Apollo nodded repeatedly: "My sister often takes me there!"

"Huh? Apollo, are you talking about..." Minerva's expression suddenly became a little subtle for some reason.

Conan had no time to pay attention to this at the moment, and said impatiently: "Can you take us there to have a look?"

Apollo turned to look at his sister, with pleading and deep anticipation in his eyes.

Minerva smiled: "Of course it's no problem! I just don't have anything to do right now, so let's go and have a look with you. I also look forward to you being able to decipher that code!"

"Thank you very much!" Yu Gongming smiled.

…………

The Glass siblings led Yumiya Ming and others to a church.

"Eh? This church really looks like a wedding cake!" Meng Yu looked at the steeple church in front of her in surprise.

Apollo smiled proudly: "Of course! I heard that the wedding cake was designed based on this church. My sister often brings me here because she is very much looking forward to holding her wedding with Ares here!"

"Apollo!" Minerva's face turned slightly red, as if she was a little embarrassed.

Yu Gongming looked at this simple and elegant church and couldn't help but sigh: "Being able to hold a wedding here must be an unforgettable memory, right?"

When Minerva heard this, a trace of longing flashed in her eyes.

"Ares...is the person who came to see you this afternoon, right?" Mengyu asked.

"Yes!" Apollo nodded: "He used to be my sister's coach, and my father was also his coach! But...my father..."

Apollo said this with a sad look on his face.

"Sorry..." Mengyu's voice became softer.

"Actually, it's not bad!" Apollo smiled: "I was still in my mother's belly at that time. I heard that my father had a car accident on the way to watch Ares play. It was also at that time that Ares I ended my career as a player and started coaching my sister."

"Because my father's dream is for my sister to become the Wimbledon champion!"

"His dream has come true now, right?" Yu Gongming said with a smile.

"Yeah!" Apollo smiled and nodded, then looked a little disappointed: "However, Ares has been blaming himself..."

"Okay Apollo." Minerva suddenly spoke, stopping Apollo's narration.

Apollo was stunned for a moment, then looked at his sister apologetically: "Sorry..."

"We should apologize." Yu Gongming shook his head slightly and said sincerely: "We are the ones who caused your sadness."

Minerva smiled and shook her head: "It doesn't matter, it's been so many years, and any pain has been healed, but he... still can't let go."

"Sister, don't say that. Ares actually loves you very much! I can see it!" Apollo said anxiously.

Minerva smiled: "Of course I know this, I just see him blaming himself all the time, and I am a little worried about him..."

After a pause, she suddenly smiled: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's continue the investigation. There should be clues here, right?"

Yu Gongming nodded and did not continue the topic.
