The Grammatical Investigator in Conan

Chapter 1303 Sera Masumi: Damn it...

Blah blah, blah blah...

After Conan attributed Qin Zhibo's reasoning to "Kudo Shinichi" and told Sera Masumi, the expression on Sera's face gradually changed from calm to shock.

She originally thought that Conan wanted to sneak out of the stadium and go with Kudo Shinichi to solve the attack that was about to happen somewhere in London.

But she never expected...

"What?!"

"The final location expressed by the code is here?"

Sera Masumi made a surprised sound.

Conan, who was standing opposite her, quickly made a shushing gesture.

But in fact, this action was unnecessary, because almost no one here could understand the Japanese they spoke.

Seeing that Sera had regained her composure, Conan continued to reason.

"Just now, I noticed that Minerva Glass was not in a good state..."

"When the serve was announced on the big screen during the break, I understood."

"Minerva was using her serve to write Braille on the court."

"Braille?" Sera wondered, but then remembered that this was a name for Braille.

Because blind people have poor vision, a special text is designed using tactile perception.

Minerva's mother is blind, so it is normal for Minerva to know Braille.

But how can this little boy know it too...

Sera's dark green eyes glanced at Conan below, and her doubts increased.

"The content of the Braille is H, E, L, P..."

"That is help."

After listening to Conan's explanation, Sera Masumi also nodded in understanding.

"I see. I understand."

"When I was investigating Hades's information, I found out that Hades invested his last funds in a tennis match to raise money for his mother's surgery."

"As a result, the player he bet on performed poorly in the finals, causing him to lose all his money."

"This player is Minerva Glass."

Sera told the information she learned from Mary yesterday.

After understanding the motive, Conan was more certain that the murderer's target was Minerva.

But the problem was that Minerva was playing on an empty court, and even Hades couldn't threaten her directly with a bomb.

But even so, Minerva still sent a distress signal to the outside of the court in Braille.

This means that Hades should have threatened Minerva in the form of a letter before going on the court.

If only I could know what the content was...

After a brief thought, Conan told Sera Masumi about his plan.

"Although we know Hades's target now, we can't call the police easily."

"This guy blew up the hospital in advance when the code was solved, so we can't let him know anything..."

"Let me find a way to tell Minerva that we already know she is threatened."

"Sera, please get closer to the front of the stands and see if there is anything suspicious in Minerva's rest area."

"Oh! Leave it to me~"

Sera is easy to talk to and immediately accepted Conan's proposal.

Being with Conan made her feel like she was back on the beach 10 years ago, watching this boy solve the murder case in his own way.

Just like that, the two returned to the entrance.

When they reached the middle of the steps, they parted ways.

Conan stopped and stood there.

Masumi Sera walked along the aisle in the middle of the area and approached Minerva's rest area.

At this time, the break between sets was over and the second set was about to begin.

Minerva threw the towel aside and walked from the rest area to the court.

The delicate face looked very heavy, and she kept moving the tennis ball in her hand, making it jump up and down the lawn.

The heavy expression was not because of the backwardness of the game situation, but the pressure brought to her by Hades.

In order to prevent a bloodbath from happening at the end of the game, she could only delay the game time while trying to use the opportunity of serving to type Braille on the lawn.

But despite the tens of thousands of spectators on the field, no one could understand her position and heart.

At this time, she was like a lonely warrior, trying her best to fight against the bloodthirsty demon.

But even so, she knew that she was just making the last struggle.

Ordinary people do not need to know Braille.

Blind people know Braille, but they will not come to watch tennis matches on site, let alone see the Braille they typed with tennis balls.

This way of asking for help is a paradox in itself.

Even if someone with normal vision on the court happens to recognize Braille, it is unlikely that he will associate Braille with the landing point of his serve.

Such conditions are really too harsh.

Only Sherlock Holmes can come to me and save me from the water and fire...

But you are just a character in the book after all...someone like Sherlock Holmes.

Minerba raised a resigned smile and threw the tennis ball high.

Just as she was about to swing the racket to hit the ball, a child's voice came from the steps of the stands not far away.

"Minerba! Let me help you!"

"I am Holmes's disciple!"

Minerba stared at the Asian-faced boy with glasses and was instantly shocked.

She was distracted for a moment and forgot to swing the racket, and the tennis ball fell directly on the lawn.

Holmes's...disciple?

At this moment, Sera Masumi, who was already near the front area of ​​the stands, heard the shout and turned back suddenly.

Conan, who was standing on the top of the steps, raised his arms with a cute expression that looked harmless.

At this moment, Sera Masumi's eyes froze.

She felt as if she had really returned to the beach that summer and met the "magician" who could make the serious Xiu brother laugh.

They look alike, so alike...

Why are they so alike?

Sera Masumi really couldn't figure out why this boy named Conan looked so much like Kudo Shinichi at that time.

Are these two people twins?

No, the age difference is too big.

But why are they so alike!

I really want to know the reason!

...

In a black Hummer off-road vehicle, Vermouth looked at the tablet sideways.

The tablet was playing the official live broadcast of the Wimbledon tennis tournament.

In addition, on another display device on the side of Miyano Elena, there is a picture shot at Mao Lilan and others in the audience.

This is not the official anchor picture of the program.

It was shot by someone sitting in the audience with a DV.

The purpose was to test Belmode's loyalty and deliberately let Belmode see the bomb explode in the crowd.

Originally, Angel and cool guy were both sitting in their seats.

But for a while, Belmode didn't know what was going on, and the two people in the picture left.

At that time, Belmode hoped that the two people would leave the court and never come back.

But things went against her wishes. After a while, Angel came back alone.

The cool guy disappeared...

Just as Belmode glanced at the picture on the tablet with the corner of her eyes, some abnormalities suddenly appeared in the official live broadcast.

The live broadcast suddenly turned to a little boy standing in the middle of the aisle of the stands.

The boy with glasses raised his hands and said those childish remarks.

"Minerva! Let me help you!"

"I'm Holmes's disciple!"

However, no one took the child's innocent words to heart.

The entire stadium immediately burst into laughter, and the stadium, which was extremely serious a second ago, was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

Even the person holding the DV to shoot laughed creepily, with a bit of contempt in his laughter.

But looking at the so-called child, Vermouth's face was a little surprised.

It's a cool guy, why is he there?

Has he found something wrong?

Vermouth's eyes stared at the picture on the tablet.

Although she was extremely anxious, she couldn't show any unusualness on her face.

Otherwise, if Miyano Elena next to her saw it, it would definitely be heard by "that adult".

"Oh?"

Miyano Elena also looked at the picture on the tablet, with a meaningful smile on her lips.

Vermouth glanced at her sideways and didn't respond.

However, Miyano Elena took the initiative to talk to her.

"Vermouth, do you know?"

"In fact, the new drug developed by the organization, APTX-4869, may not be 100% lethal."

Hearing this, Vermouth's heart trembled suddenly, and she glanced at Miyano Elena, pretending to be calm and replied: "Why do you say that?"

"Hasn't everyone who has taken that drug so far been confirmed dead?"

Miyano Elena smiled indifferently, rubbing the index finger and thumb of her right hand, "I only learned about this recently. Someone who has taken this drug seems to be still alive..."

"Really?" Vermouth continued to pretend to be calm and asked, "Will there be such a thing?"

Having lurked in Mika Town for a while before, Vermouth certainly knew that APTX-4869 might not be lethal.

The example in front of her is Conan and Haibara Ai.

Just to protect Conan's current identity, she has not chosen to report this matter to the organization.

Did the organization find out that drug A would shrink people when investigating the experience in Mika Town?

Has Conan's identity been exposed?

However, facing Vermouth's temptation, the carriage was silent again.

Miyano Elena hesitated to speak, and did not say the follow-up.

But this also further sounded the alarm in Vermouth's heart, and the hidden effect of drug A seemed to be gradually revealed.

But fortunately, Miyano Elena only said that drug A might not kill people, and did not say that it would make people smaller.

But if she really discovered that she was smaller and knew that her daughter was still alive, what kind of expression would she have?

Would she help her daughter?

Or would she stand on the side of the organization?

Miyano Elena, what position do you have?

Vermouth glanced at the blonde woman next to her, and the thinking hidden under the shining glasses made her more and more confused.

It should be said that from the beginning to the end, Miyano Elena was a mysterious woman in the organization.

It was only 17 years ago that Vermouth confirmed that this woman was terrible.

Not only was her life a mystery, but her behavior was also very fragmented.

Although she was just a research assistant of Atsushi Miyano, she was given the code name "Sulli" by "that adult".

On the one hand, she tried to love the child she gave birth to.

On the other hand, she dominated and abused her husband like a slave.

Until she squeezed out all the value of that man, just like a female mantis eating a male mantis.

Miyano Elena...

Who are you?

Which one is your true face?

...

On the Wimbledon tennis court.

With the referee's "Please be quiet", the laughter of the whole audience gradually calmed down.

Minerva on the court looked at Conan in the stands and suddenly remembered that her brother said after returning home that there was a kid wearing glasses who was very smart and was a disciple of Holmes and could help solve the secret code.

Could it be him?

Could he have understood my message and wanted to help me?

In this case, I can only take a gamble.

"You are so young, can you help me?"

Minerva tried to shout to Conan in the stands in a joking and relaxed tone.

But only she knew that this was the only person who could possibly entrust her fate for the next hour or so.

It's just a little ridiculous that the other party was just a child.

Conan knew that he couldn't act too relaxed in the face of Minerva's hidden words.

Otherwise, it would alert Hades who was secretly watching.

So, he spread his hands and put on a "wise look", that is, his two eyeballs moved closer to the middle of his nose.

"Of course..."

"Hahaha..."

The people around him laughed when they saw Conan's "wise" eyes, and didn't take him seriously.

However, they didn't understand that this wave of operations was called great wisdom and foolishness.

Although Minerva was a little surprised when she saw Conan's operation, she didn't think about it anymore.

Now her fate can only be placed on this child.

She picked up the tennis ball on the ground, threw it up again, and hit it towards the center of the focus of her sight.

Next, Minerva hit the ball several times in a row.

Each of her balls hit the target area she imagined in her mind.

Conan stood high with his hands in his pockets, looking at Minerva's hitting point, and analyzing it in his brain at the same time.

In just over ten minutes, Minerva relied on frequent serving opportunities to hit the letters GAME and SET.

On the other side, Sera gradually moved closer to the court.

This is the position closest to the court in the stands. Further ahead is the media shooting area. If you enter, you will definitely be stopped by security.

She stared at Minerva's preparation area and carefully observed if there was anything abnormal.

Towel, normal.

Blanket, normal.

Water bottle, normal.

Eh?

Suddenly, Sera narrowed her eyes and saw a red wrist thrown under the chair where Minerva was resting.

There seemed to be a note in the wrist.

It was just a little far away, so I couldn't see what was written on the note.

It should be that... Hades' threat to Minerva.

Just as Sera was about to go back and tell Conan about this discovery, the wristband lying flat on the ground suddenly moved.

In an instant, Sera was stunned.

Huh?

Damn it...
