The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Buzz——

Buzz——

Conan felt the vibration in his trouser pocket and quickly took out his cell phone. It was indeed a call from Qin Zhibo.

Ran Maoli next to him also saw Conan take out his cell phone and asked, "Did you call?"

"Yeah! It's Agasa..."

Conan wanted to use Dr. Agasa as an excuse, but when he thought of the doctor watching the game together on the court, he quickly changed his words and said, "It's a call from Huiyuan classmate. I'll go out and answer it!"

Conan took the phone and left quickly. As soon as he arrived at the aisle of the audience, he quickly picked up the phone.

"Conan, you called me just now?"

On the other side, Qin Zhibo was walking on the sidewalk on the street with his cell phone in one hand.

"Well, I want to ask you, how is the reasoning about the code?"

"Am I overthinking it?"

More than an hour ago, Conan called Qin Zhibo, who was far away in Japan, to ask him to solve the last key content of Hades' code.

At that time, Qin Zhibo was on the bridge, using Michael's identity to attract Vermouth to appear, while thinking about the code.

But just when he had some ideas in his mind, the fake Akai Wuwu disguised as Vermouth appeared on the bridge, causing him to ignore this matter for a while.

It was not until he checked his phone just now and found a missed call from Conan that he remembered this matter again.

"About the secret code..."

Qin Zhibo was about to reason, and several police cars sped past on the street, and the piercing sirens made passers-by frown and look sideways.

Qin Zhibo's eyes followed the whizzing police cars and found that these police cars were heading towards the intersection where the car crashed just now.

It is estimated that there are guns hidden in the car, and passers-by have called the police.

At the same time, the sound of sirens also reached Conan's ears.

Conan's eyes changed, and he immediately asked alertly: "Is it a case?"

"Yes, a case just happened here, so I didn't have time to tell you..."

Qin Zhibo was not lying, after all, the situation just now was indeed a case.

"Regarding the code, since you have already solved the meaning of each of the seven codes, you should understand that the final message the criminal wants to express can only be composed of the content of the entire code."

"Combined?" Conan asked in confusion, "But how to constitute it?"

Qin Zhibo said calmly: "It's very simple. According to the order in the code, connect all the locations expressed by the code in sequence, and that is the final message that this code wants to express."

"What?!"

Qin Zhibo's words were like enlightenment, and Conan's eyes widened immediately, and the sudden realization in his eyes was not concealed at all.

Yes!

How could I forget this!

Conan gritted his teeth and looked around, wanting to find a map of London.

But this is a tennis court, how could there be anyone selling maps?

At this moment, Qin Zhibo, who guessed that Conan was looking for a map, said directly on the phone: "I have already marked the map points here..."

"The whole route starts from Big Ben, goes around a big circle back to Big Ben, and then extends a line to the Mason Porcelain Shop below."

"From this figure, it may be a balloon..."

"But if it is related to a certain place in London, it should be a long-handled racket, similar to a badminton racket, or..."

"Tennis racket."

Tennis racket!

Woo——!

Conan just walked out of the ticket gate, and the court behind him came with exciting cheers.

He had already prepared to leave the court immediately after learning the location where Hades finally committed the crime, and go to the target location to stop the crime.

He had thought of an excuse for Mao Lilan and others, saying that it was a temporary call from "Kudo Shinichi" saying that the code had been cracked or something.

But now, when he heard the keyword "tennis racket", he immediately stopped.

Tennis racket?

That's not...

Qin Zhibo on the other side continued: "If I remember correctly, the Wimbledon tennis tournament is held in London today, right?"

"And today seems to be the final. I think the murderer's final crime scene should be there."

Qin Zhibo raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was 2:30 in the afternoon and the game had already started for half an hour.

Now even if Conan rushed over, he couldn't get in without a ticket.

The only way is to report to Scotland Yard and let the police handle this matter.

But just when he thought so in his heart, Conan murmured on the other side of the phone.

"Actually, I'm at the Wimbledon tennis match now..."

Hearing this, Qin Zhibo's face was immediately shocked.

What kind of disaster is this!

He hurriedly asked: "Why are you there?"

Conan replied: "The rich woman who invited Uncle Maori to visit London gave me the ticket. Now Uncle, Xiaolan, and the doctor are all in the audience..."

"Rich woman?"

Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. Are all the rich women so generous now?

Not only do they cover air tickets and accommodation, but they also cover tickets for such heavyweight events.

However, he did not pay much attention to this, and continued to ask: "Did you find anything unusual on the court?"

"Abnormal?"

Conan wondered, because he was busy thinking about the secret code and did not pay attention to what was happening on the court.

At this time, many spectators walked out of the entrance behind him.

The spectators gathered in groups of two or three, discussing the content of the game with a slightly regretful expression on their faces.

"I didn't expect the first set to end so quickly, and she was such a crusher..."

"Yeah, she's the world's No. 1 queen of grass courts, I didn't expect she'd score 0:6..."

"Maybe she's not in shape today? This match might be difficult..."

The audience passed by Conan, and what they said entered Conan's ears.

Conan suddenly remembered the content of the London news broadcast in the morning, saying that Minerva Glass was the favorite to win this year, and 70% of people thought she would win the women's singles championship.

But it's only the first set, and it's 0:6?

Could it be...

An idea suddenly came to Conan's mind, and he quickly said to Qin Zhibo on the phone: "I think I have some clues..."

"I'll contact you later!"

After saying that, Conan immediately hung up the phone and ran to the court against the flow of people coming out to the toilet.

Qin Zhibo couldn't help but feel a little worried when he heard that Conan decided to solve the incident alone.

Although he didn't pay attention to this matter in the past two days, he couldn't help watching the news on TV.

Hades is an extreme revenger who wants to avenge his deceased mother. He not only killed his friends who persuaded him to buy stocks and gamble, but also blew up a hospital last time.

The target this time is the tennis court. Judging from the scale, the revenge method should also be a bomb.

If it is not handled well, Hades may detonate the bomb in advance, causing a large number of casualties.

And Conan himself may not care. His biggest reliance, the anesthetic needle of the watch-shaped anesthetic needle, has been used up when dealing with Kuroba Kaito at the airport.

"Hmm..."

Qin Zhibo pondered and thought about his current affairs.

The "fishing plan" failed. Belmode was rescued. Mary is now unconscious and must be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.

After waking up, he must use the identity of MI6 to get rid of the police investigation, so he can't meet up with her immediately.

The performance of the Hobber Magic Group will not officially start until 3 pm, half an hour from now.

But there is Kuroba Kaito watching over there, so there should be no problem.

After thinking again and again, Qin Zhibo decided to go to the Wimbledon tennis court to solve the bomb incident first.

…

Wimbledon Center Court.

Conan ran back to the center of the aisle of the stadium audience seats and scanned the entire stadium with a serious face.

This is a super large stadium that can accommodate 15,000 people. Judging from the area, Hades' bomb should not be able to flatten the entire stadium.

In other words, he should have placed the bomb somewhere alone.

Who will be the target?

The audience seats?

The VIP viewing area?

Or... Minerva Glass herself?

At this moment, the big screen on the side of the court also showed each ball landing point of the first set of both players.

When Conan saw the moment the serve landed, he suddenly understood.

So that's it...

The target is indeed Minerva!

When he was studying in Hawaii before, Conan once studied Braille.

In addition to the initial interest, he also considered that this special text might be used in a case in the future.

Unexpectedly, he finally used this skill today.

According to the statistics of the serve landing points announced on the big screen, Conan quickly analyzed in his mind.

The first letter is H.

Then E, L... P.

Put it together and it means help.

This is a call for help!

Conan put down his right hand that was holding his chin, and his eyes quickly turned to Minerva below.

It was the break between sets, and Minerva was drinking water and wiping her sweat.

There were two chairs beside her, one of which was covered with a towel, and the racket was placed against the chair next to it.

Apart from that, there were no more eye-catching objects around.

The players' preparation area was independent of the audience seats, and the distance was relatively far to prevent the audience from interfering with the players in the middle of the game.

If the bomb was aimed at Minerva, how would the murderer place the bomb?

And how did Minerva know on the court that the murderer's target was her?

Just as Conan was concentrating on thinking, a pair of figures stood beside him.

"Conan?"

"What are you doing standing here?"

Conan looked back and saw that it was Ran Mouri and Masumi Sera who came over.

"Sister Xiaolan?" Conan was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"

"Of course, I was worried that you got lost, so I came out with Masumi to look for you..."

As she was talking, Mao Lilan took Conan's hand and walked to the seat, saying, "The second set is about to start, let's go back to our seats..."

When Conan heard that he had to sit back, how could he find the bomb and the criminal?

So he quickly acted cute and put on a pitiful look, "Sister Xiaolan, I need to go to the bathroom!"

"Toilet?"

Ma Lilan turned around, surprised and a little angry, "Didn't you just go to the bathroom? Why are you going to the bathroom again?"

In just half an hour, Conan ran out twice, and Mao Lilan was sure that he just wanted to sneak out to play alone.

If it was in Japan, this behavior would be turned a blind eye.

But this is Britain, and it's a tennis court full of people. If you get lost here, you can't explain to Conan's mother, Edogawa Fumiyo.

"No! Go back and watch the game honestly!"

Seeing that the pee-avoiding method didn't work, Conan started squatting on the ground and playing tricks.

"No~ I just want to go to the toilet!"

However, when Mao Lilan saw Conan's unusual behavior, she became more certain of her thoughts.

"No! No!"

Mao Lilan dragged Conan squatting on the ground with one hand, and under the terrifying force, Conan was dragged easily like a sled.

At this time, Sera Masumi on the side took the initiative to say: "Xiao Ran, how about I take Conan to the toilet?"

"It just so happens that I also want to go to the toilet..."

"Eh?" Mao Lilan turned her head in surprise and glanced at Sera Masumi, "Is this okay?"

"Oh~ It's nothing, just looking after the children~"

Sera Masumi looked down at Conan, showing two small tiger teeth and smiled: "Conan, are you willing to go to the toilet with your sister?"

Conan knew that this was the only way to get away from Xiao Ran at the moment, so he could only smile and nod.

"Yeah!"

"Yoshi! Let's go!"

Just like that, Sera Masumi took Conan's hand and walked towards the exit.

When the two walked to the corridor outside the exit, Conan immediately began to think of ways to get rid of Sera Masumi.

Luckily, Sera Masumi is a girl, and she went to the women's restroom while he went to the men's restroom.

When the other person went into the restroom, he hurried out of the restroom to do business.

But just when Conan had already planned the next plan, Sera let go of Conan's hand.

"Conan, you didn't come out to the restroom? Right?"

Sera lowered her head and smiled at Conan with a pair of squinting eyes.

Conan's expression was surprised, and he didn't know how to answer.

Because from the girl in front of him, he had a feeling that his disguise had been seen through.

And now Sera Masumi did have some doubts about him.

Although Kudo Shinichi and Conan appeared at the same time on the first day of their encounter in Baker Street, to this day, she still feels that the boy in front of her is the boy she met at the beach 10 years ago.

Especially the way he looked when thinking, it was exactly the same as before.

If there is any difference between the two, it is that the boy in front of him seems to be more mature than before.

So when Conan strongly asked to go out to the bathroom again, Sera realized that the boy might know something.

It might be related to the secret code incident...

"Uh... What are you talking about, Sister Sera?"

Seeing that his purpose was seen through, Conan could only pretend to be stupid as usual.

But Sera did not give him any face and said directly: "The phone call just now should be from Kudo Shinichi, right? The content is related to the secret code incident, right?"

Although he had some doubts in his heart, Sera did not ignore the existence of Kudo Shinichi, thinking that it was likely that Conan accepted Kudo Shinichi's instructions.

Conan saw that Sera's guess was very close to the correct answer, and it was indeed difficult for him to stop Hades by himself.

There was no other way...

Conan could only tell Sera Masumi everything that happened.
