Hearing the strange man suddenly call his name, Glass' face was full of shock.
"You, how do you know my name?" Glass looked at Tangze with confusion: "Do you know who I am?"
"I didn't know you before, but after listening to what you and Mr. Guard said, I only need a very simple deduction to know your identity."
Tangze smiled and said: "First of all, there are white particles and liquid next to your lips.
It should be fresh cream and powdered sugar on strawberries, and the drink cup you are holding contains lime, mint and cucumber, so it should be a drink called Pimm’s.
Of course, this originally contains alcohol, and you are a child, so it should be a non-alcoholic version, right?"
The so-called Pimm’s is actually a cocktail called Pimm’s. The alcohol content of the base liquor is only 25%. It is often mixed with lemonade or soda water.
Because of its low alcohol content, sweet and refreshing taste, and low price, it is a very popular drink in the country.
Karasawa had known about this wine before, but had never tasted it.
After arriving in the country on this trip, he had already tasted many wines and special delicacies of the country during lunch and dinner in the past ten days.
By the way, Ayako accompanied her best friend Sophie to a castle in Wales for vacation, and was not in London.
This was exactly what he wanted. After all, he was going to face a troublesome bomber later on. Although the prisoner's goal was very clear, he had intervened, so naturally he couldn't guarantee whether the prisoner would follow the original trajectory.
And even if the chance of an accident was low, Karasawa didn't want Ayako to know that he was still involved in the case abroad.
After all, besides making the other party worried, this will not have any positive effect and will only affect her good mood during the vacation.
So Karasawa's plan was to take advantage of Ayako's vacation to settle the matter, and then when she came back, pretend that nothing had happened, and return to Neon with Ayako directly.
Let this trip to China come to a perfect end.
Unlike Tangze, who was focused on reasoning and still had divergent thoughts, after listening to the reasoning, Glass looked like he was shocked by Tangze's reasoning.
He first wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth, then looked at the drink in his hand and said, "It is true that the clerk mixed this for me, but you haven't explained yet, how do you know my name?"
“If you say there is a sports match that you can watch with strawberries and Pimm’s, it must be Wimbledon.”
Tang Ze smiled and said, "And after you looked at your watch before, you mentioned your sister.
And coincidentally, today is the semi-finals of the women's singles.
The first session started at one o'clock and is almost over now.
So your sister's game should be in the second game.
One of the contestants in the second game is contestant Wang Haili. Her parents are both Chinese, so it is unlikely that she is related to you, a foreigner.
Then the only one left is her opponent, the world's number one grass court queen, Minerba Glass, who has dominated Wimbledon for four consecutive years.
She should be your sister, right?"
Hearing that Tangze had determined his sister's identity with just one drink, Glass looked shocked.
"In addition, you can vaguely see the VIP pass for Wimbledon Stadium in your jacket pocket, which proves that my guess is correct."
As he spoke, Tangze took out his pass and displayed it in the air. After listening to Tangze's words, Glass said excitedly: "You are really awesome. I now believe you are a famous criminal in Neon!"
Also, just call me Apollo, that’s my name.”
"Put your things away."
Tang Ze returned the VIP pass to Apollo Glass, looked at him seriously and said: "Now can you tell me about the case you just wanted to find Holmes?"
Although he still has memories of this case, many details are no longer clear. In addition, the bomber is hidden among the audience, so Tang Ze also needs to know the details.
He would never place all his hopes of solving a case in the memory of his previous life, so after asking, he listened carefully to the other party's story.
After the previous reasoning, Apollo had already believed in Tangze's ability, and even talked about what had happened before.
According to what he said, after eating lunch, he went to Court No. 15 to watch the winning players practice while eating strawberries.
But at that time, a black man with dreadlocks and a hat came to him and asked him if he liked tennis very much.
After he nodded and replied, "It feels exciting," the man said he was lucky and that he would experience even more exciting excitement.
In his doubts, the man showed a malicious smile and told him something.
Someone was going to be murdered somewhere in London, right before his eyes.
"Then did you see the other person's face?" After listening to Apollo's words, Tang Ze asked.
"No..." Apollo shook his head and said, "His hat was pulled down so low that he couldn't see his face clearly.
But he gave me a strange note to pass on to Scotland Yard.
He also said that this was his apocalypse. If you don't have any clue, just go to Sherlock Holmes.
After he finished speaking, he disappeared."
Having said this, Apollo took out a note from his pocket and handed it to Tang Ze: "You should be able to read it in English, right?"
"certainly."
After Tangze replied in English, he unfolded the paper in his hand and found that the content on it looked like a poem.
"Ah, you are here, don't run around!"
Just then a young foreign man ran over and looked at Apollo and said, "I have been looking for you just now!"
"Who is this?" Tang Ze looked at the man and asked.
"He is my sister's former coach Ares, who turned out to be a very good tennis player."
Apollo smiled and explained in neon language: "And because he used to be my sister's coach, I have a good relationship with my mother.
Now he takes care of many things in our family. After all, my sister is busy on tour and my mother's eyesight is not very good."
Because the conversation between the two was in neon, coach Ares next to him couldn't understand the conversation at all, and his expression could be described as confused.
After Apollo finished speaking, Ares, regardless of what the two said, reached out and took Apollo's arm: "Come back with me quickly, your sister's game is about to begin."
"But..." Apollo hesitated and looked at Tang Ze, his face hesitant.
"It's okay. Leave this case to me. I almost have a clue." Tang Ze smiled.
"Really?" Hearing Karasawa's words, Apollo said excitedly: "Do you think you have solved the riddle on this note?"
"No, the mystery on this note has not been solved, but some things cannot be limited to the surface and need to be looked at at a deeper level."
Tangze smiled and said, "You mentioned before, did the prisoner say someone would die in front of your eyes?"
Karasawa put away the letter of the crime notice and asked to confirm again.
"Well, that's what he said indeed." Apollo nodded when he heard this, and seemed to be afraid that he wouldn't believe it before adding: "These are his exact words."
"In that case, it's very interesting." Tang Ze smiled and said, "Maybe he came prepared."
"What do you mean?" Glass looked at Tang Ze in confusion.
"To put it simply, the prisoner may know you."
Tang Ze combined the words he recited before and the plot in his memory and said: "If he doesn't know you, how can he guarantee that someone will die in front of you?
Unless he keeps following you, waits until a certain time, and kills the people in front of you indiscriminately.
But if this is the case, it is impossible for him to say this. After all, if you go to the police station by then, is it possible that he will also attack criminals?
In other words, he has determined your whereabouts and knows where you will be next, so he said this."
"The prisoner's target is me?" Apollo looked horrified when he heard this. He broke away from Ares' hand and said excitedly: "Then the prisoner wants to attack the people around me?"
"Hey, Apollo, what's wrong with you?" Ares looked at the excited Apollo and looked at Tangze with a wary expression: "What did he say to you?"
"Don't get me wrong, we are just discussing the crime warning letter received by Apollo."
Tangze replied in English and then thought for a while and said: "If you are in a hurry to go back, why not come with me? Now you can also explain the situation to this gentleman."
"Okay." Apollo nodded after hearing this, looked at Ares and said, "Let's go back to the car first. I will explain it to you on the way."
"Okay." Ares nodded after hearing this, looked at the two of them and said, "Follow me."
On the way to the location of the car, Apollo told Ares what happened to him, and also told him the situation where Karasawa met him and his analysis of the case.
"Is it true?" Ares was driving when he heard Tangze's speculation, and turned around nervously and said, "Apollo is being targeted by criminals?"
"Watch ahead!"
Tang Ze reminded him sternly, which made Ares jump into action and quickly concentrate on driving, but his mind was completely focused on what he said before.
"Whether the prisoner's target is you or the people around you is not yet certain. After all, there is still too little information."
Tangze looked at the two people who looked panicked and said: "We are not sure whether the prisoner said this to every child who was sent a warning letter, or whether he only said this to Apollo."
"Wait, every child?" After hearing what Tang Ze said, Ares couldn't help but ask, "How do you know that the prisoner also sent notice letters to other children?"
"The reason is simple. Since the prisoner wants to commit a crime, he must hope to succeed."
Hearing this, Karasawa explained: "And if he only gave Apollo a warning letter, then the police would definitely have a target for search and protection.
After all, saying that the person in front of Apollo died was a bit too obvious.
And if he had sent letters to a large number of children, then Apollo's words would not have been so conspicuous.
After all, the credibility of what a child said is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the police are not sure whether the other child has said this to other children.
This is why I am acting together with you. I want to confirm whether this is the prisoner's general words to all children, or whether it is just for Apollo.
If it was targeted at him alone, then maybe this was the flaw left by the prisoner!
There was an element of carelessness in this flaw, but more probably it was the venting of resentment and pleasure that made him say those words."
"Okay, that's amazing..." After listening to Tang Ze's analysis, Apollo looked at Tang Ze blankly: "Can you analyze so much with just this bit of information? Who are you?"
"Didn't I tell you before that I am also a well-known criminal in Neon."
Tang Ze smiled and said: "But after so much analysis, whether this is actually the case requires further confirmation."
"If that's the case, then it's not Wimbledon Stadium we should go to now, but Scotland Yard!"
Ares on the side had an extremely solemn expression after hearing what Tang Ze said.
As an adult, he naturally understands the seriousness of Tangze's analysis.
It would be okay if Apollo was just one of the people the criminals issued warning letters to, which means that the criminals’ target was not Apollo and the people around him.
At most, this means that the criminal may affect them when he commits a crime, or the other party may cause a big case and make the crime happen in front of every child.
But at least it's not for them.
But if it is as analyzed by Karasawa, it proves that his children are supporting roles, while Apollo and the people around him are the targets of the criminals!
The prisoner said that he would see someone killed before Apollo's eyes, which would prove that the prisoner was coming for them.
Then the danger factor around them will increase exponentially, and maybe it is directed at them.
Thinking of this, Ares felt restless and couldn't think of taking Apollo to watch the game at Wimbledon Stadium.
Let’s first determine whether the prisoner’s target is you!
"It would be more appropriate to go to Scotland Yard."
Tangze nodded and made a prediction: "But presumably we only need to arrive at the gate of Scotland Yard to determine the truth.
If everything is true as I say, then Scotland Yard should be packed with people reporting crimes at this moment."
Amidst the complicated expressions of Ah and Apollo, the group arrived at Scotland Yard.
Looking at the crowded scene outside the police station where parents and their children came to report the crime, the two people in the car were shocked.
Because they actually heard Tang Ze's prediction before they arrived, and the facts seemed to confirm Tang Ze's words.
"Okay, get off the car."
Tang Ze looked at the two people in a daze and smiled and said, "Don't forget, we have more important things to confirm."
