Conan: Another Famous Detective

Hearing Minerba's farewell words, Akira Hanomiya pondered for a while and said, "Before we say goodbye, I would like to remind Miss Minerba and Apollo."

"Although there is no conclusion yet, Wimbledon is still one of the most likely targets for the prisoner. As the protagonist who is about to participate in the finals, Miss Mineba is likely to be focused on by the prisoner."

"I hope Miss Minerva can pay a little attention to her surroundings after training to see if there are any suspicious people around."

Minerba was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then nodded: "I understand, I will try my best to pay attention, or ask Ares to help pay attention."

Yu Gongming smiled and nodded: "Well! Thank you very much for your help today. We have changed our direction and visited many places in London!"

"Where! We should thank you. After all, you are actually helping Apollo." Minerba smiled.

After chatting for a while, everyone finally parted.

Afterwards, everyone returned to the hotel where they stayed in the night.

At this moment, Maori and his daughter had returned to the room.

Uncle Maoli had fallen asleep on the bed because he drank too much, while Xiaolan had just taken a shower.

Seeing Yu Gongming and his party coming back, Xiaolan's eyes lit up: "Eh? You are back! How was the investigation?"

Hanomiya glanced at Uncle Maori and said with a smile: "About this, let's go to our room to talk."

Xiaolan looked at her father, who was snoring loudly, and nodded.

Several people came to Yu Gongming and Meng Yu's room.

Yu Gongming described in detail the experiences of several people after they went out.

Xiaolan listened very carefully, especially after hearing that they met Minerba, her interest became even higher.

"I didn't expect you to meet the Queen of the Grassland! It's really great! Did you ask her for an autograph?" After listening to the narration, Xiaolan looked at Hanemiya Akira and the others expectantly.

Yu Gongming and others were stunned for a moment, and then looked embarrassed at the same time.

Yu Gongming touched his chin: "That's right! Why don't you sign it? Or just ask for a few autographed photos, and then we can resell them, and maybe we can make a lot of money from this trip!"

"It seems that we were all thinking about cracking the code at that time, and we didn't think about it at all..." Meng Yu covered her face and said.

"It doesn't matter! We're not her fans, so it doesn't matter if we can't get an autographed photo, right?" Conan said indifferently:

"Anyway, don't we have Apollo's contact information? Let's contact him before we go back. It won't be a problem to get a signed photo."

"Then please be sure to take me with you then!" Xiaolan said with bright eyes: "I have always liked Miss Minerva. It would be great if I could take a photo with her!"

"No problem!" Yu Gongming smiled.

"However, let's focus on that code for now." Conan's expression became serious.

Yu Gongming nodded slightly: "First of all, make sure that there should be no problem with the time we deduced on Saturday."

"Yeah." Conan nodded.

"Then there is another problem." Yu Gongming said calmly: "There is still one [A] that is not used."

"Judging from the current situation, every codeword given by the prisoner gives a clear clue. It makes no sense that one of them is just a mere distraction."

Conan's eyes flickered: "That's true, but what is this other [A] used for?"

Yu Gongming pondered for a while and then said with a smile: "Speaking of which, since these sentences represent different places, why not take a map and take a look?"

"Here! Map." Mengyu took out the map from the bag.

The map was spread out on the bed, and everyone gathered around the map to observe.

"First of all, let's mark the places we visited..." Conan marked the places where several people went on the map with a water-based pen.

"Let's start with the most basic solution first." Yu Gongming said: "Follow the order of each sentence and connect these locations..."

Conan nodded slightly and connected the locations pointed by each line in the order of Big Ben - Elephant and Castle Station - City Hall - Pickle Building - Cake Church - Big Ben - Famous Porcelain Store Wire.

"Okay! Finally... the specialty store!" Conan picked up the pen and completed the final connection.

Everyone looked down at these lines, and their expressions changed at the same time!

"This is..." Xiaolan's eyes widened slightly.

"It looks like..." Mengyu blinked.

"Racket?" Yu Gongming frowned.

"To be precise, it should be a tennis racket." Conan said quietly.

Akira Hanomiya looked thoughtful: "So, is the prisoner's goal ultimately still the Wimbledon Tennis Championships?"

Conan nodded: "Yes, if the goal is Wimbledon, then the time can only be the women's singles final next Saturday."

"Now the time and place are clear, only the identity of the prisoner remains." Meng Yu said.

"There is really nothing we can do about this." Akira Hanomiya said helplessly: "This is London, a place we are unfamiliar with, and the prisoner has disguised himself. If we want to find the prisoner, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

"It seems we can only wait for the New Scotland Yard's investigation." Conan said: "I hope we can find some information about the prisoner from those notes."

The few people discussed it for a while again, and after seeing that there was no progress, they no longer struggled.

…………

The next morning.

"Hey! Have you read today's morning paper?" Conan ran into Yu Gongming's room happily.

Yu Gongming, who was holding a morning newspaper, raised his head and glanced at him: "Look, it seems that this prisoner is very arrogant! He even boldly left his fingerprints."

Conan nodded solemnly: "Yes, the police have found the identity of the prisoner based on fingerprints. Hades Shabala, a serial murderer on the run."

"The information about this guy must be carefully investigated."

Yu Gongming shrugged: "This kind of thing should be left to professionals."

"A lot of useful things have been found." Mengyu said while operating the laptop borrowed from the hotel:

"This Hades Shabala is a very dangerous person. He was originally an ordinary office worker. Because his mother was seriously ill, in order to raise money for his mother's surgery, he borrowed money from acquaintances everywhere and invested in the stock and gambling markets. As a result, All money lost.”

"And his mother passed away in July last year because she had no money for treatment. After that, he seemed to be a changed person. Those acquaintances who had been urging him to repay the money, and friends who suggested that he invest in stocks, were dismissed one by one by him. kill."

"In the end, he even blew up all the hospitals that refused to operate on his mother one by one!"

Conan was shocked when he heard this: "This guy...can he still use bombs?"
