At the entrance of the Sherlock Holmes Museum, Conan looked at the boy who suddenly appeared in front of him in confusion.
Who is this?
classmate?
The neighbor’s kid from the past?
Who?
Conan tried every answer in his mind, but every answer was wrong.
In his mind, he had never seen this short-haired boy wearing a hat.
Although the two tiger teeth exposed when the other party smiled seemed to have been seen somewhere before, he was sure that there was no such boy in his memory.
Could it be that a side effect of APTX-4869 is losing part of the memory?
And Kuroba Kaito is also looking at Conan anxiously, waiting for when the original owner will send him the standard answer.
For a moment, the atmosphere among everyone was a little awkward.
Sera Masumi looked at Conan, who was confused, and Kudo Shinichi, who was peeking at Conan, and instantly felt a strange intuition in his mind.
Could it be...
Buzz——
Just then, the phone in her pocket vibrated.
"Ah~"
"Sorry everyone, I'll take a call first..."
Masumi Sera quickly took out the phone in her pocket, because this was the really important purpose of her visit to Baker Street this time.
Although the person who met my mother this time was said to be my father, whom I had not seen since birth, and an old friend from the past.
But according to my mother, this old friend had not seen each other for more than ten years. Suddenly he asked to meet, and she suspected that there might be fraud.
Because recently, people suspected of being "dad" have frequently appeared in London.
People who haven’t seen each other for a long time suddenly appear...
If you don’t know the truth, you may be afraid of a ghost.
Therefore, in order to be wary of the person meeting her mother this time, Sera Masumi came here to meet her.
Once you realize something is wrong, take action immediately.
"Mom, how's the situation?"
Sera Masumi turned around and walked to the street lamp, muttering in a low voice and asking.
Mary on the other side of the phone said: "No problem, I did bring news about your eldest brother..."
"We are ready to go back and talk in detail now. Where are you?"
When she heard that her mother was fine, Sera Masumi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Because she came out this time, Mary asked her to bring a pistol with her, thinking that the situation might be serious or even lead to a street shootout.
"I'll be relieved if everything is okay."
"By the way, Mom..." Sera turned back and glanced at Conan and his group behind him, "I met some friends here, can you go back later?"
"Friend?" Mary asked in a cold voice, "Are you a friend from Japan?"
"Um."
"...Okay, but don't come back too late."
"Okay~"
…
On the other side, while Seriang was talking on the phone, Mao Lilan was also curiously asking "Kudo Shinichi" next to him.
"Shinichi, do you know that boy?"
"Um, I..."
Kuroba Kaito could only scratch his head with a silly smile, and kicked Conan in front of him without leaving any trace.
I'm asking you?
Give me a nice word! Do you know this person?
At this moment, Mouri Kogoro, who was standing behind, said calmly: "Isn't that person a woman?"
"female?!"
Maori Ran, Conan, and Kuroba Kaito in front turned around at the same time, with incredible expressions on their faces.
Mouri Kogoro frowned, "What? Don't you see it?"
The three heads shook like rattles.
Even Dr. A Li showed a helpless expression. To be honest, he just felt that something was wrong with this "boy", but he couldn't tell where it was.
Mao Lilan still couldn't believe it, "But he calls himself 'boku'?"
Mouri Kogoro gave his daughter a look of disdain, "Tch, what's this?"
"The proprietress of the izakaya I usually go to is also a buku, boku..."
Upon hearing this explanation, the other four people suddenly showed speechless expressions.
At this time, Masumi Sera just finished making the phone call, turned around and walked back.
"Haha~ I'm sorry, there was a call just now..."
At this time, Mao Lilan quickly stepped forward and said seriously: "I have a question I want to ask you..."
"Ah?" Sera smiled and waved his hands, "No need to be so formal, just call me Sera~"
"Sera...are you a lady or a gentleman?"
As soon as these words came out, Seriang's expression was stunned for a moment.
The air was silent for two seconds before she shyly scratched the back of her head under the gaze of Conan and the others.
"Haha... Isn't it really hard to see what I'm wearing?"
"Actually, I'm a real high school girl~"
As Sera spoke, she also made a chest-bulging pose that magazine models often pose.
But her breasts, which had no real material and were tightly wrapped, didn't look three-dimensional at all.
Only the two tiger teeth exposed at the corners of his mouth when he smiles are uniquely cute to some girls.
"ah?!"
Mao Lilan screamed in shock.
The short Conan also showed his half-moon eyes, and thought to himself: This time, the uncle really guessed it right...
Kuroba Kaito also realized this and asked with a surprised look on his face: "Are you really a woman?"
He really didn't expect that someone would make him, the Kaitou Kidd, indistinguishable. The last one who was indistinguishable was Cheng Shi...
"It's true~" Sera playfully winked at Kuroba Kaito.
Kuroba Kaito: It’s your sister instead!
Mao Lilan saw Sera's bold offensive move in his eyes, and then thought of Kudo Shinichi who had been absentmindedly looking out the window just now, and suddenly felt a sour feeling in his heart.
"Shinichi, just admit it..."
Kuroba Kaito looked at Maori Lan, who had his head lowered next to him, not yet realizing the seriousness of the matter.
"What do I admit?"
Mao Lilan immediately raised his head and said angrily: "Admit that I just came to see you!"
"Looking for me?" Kuroba Kaito quickly shook his head in confusion and explained, "I don't even know her, why is she looking for me?"
Conan was also anxious at this time. If this matter was not handled well, his reputation would be ruined for the rest of his life!
"Sister Xiaolan, brother Xinyi definitely doesn't know her. There must be some misunderstanding..."
"Misunderstand?"
The anger on Mao Lilan's face continued to grow, "I just discovered that Shinichi has been looking out the window and didn't pay attention to visiting the museum at all!"
"I don't even care about my favorite Sherlock Holmes..."
Mao Lilan's voice became lower and lower until it disappeared completely.
In her mind, she had already figured out that Kudo Shinichi had brought countless girls to visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum in the UK, and they were all disenchanted.
Only I still foolishly thought that he had never been to Baker Street, and still wanted to make beautiful memories for two people together...
I'm so stupid...
Conan saw that Xiaolan, who had her head buried deeply, was about to transform into a pearl producer, and became even more anxious. He quickly advised: "Sister Xiaolan, there must be a misunderstanding here!"
"Right? Brother Shinichi, you should tell me more quickly!"
Conan gave Kuroba Kaito a kick, and Kuroba Kaito quickly took action, showing his signature playful smile.
"Well... how about I do a magic trick for you?"
Kuroba Kaito touched his pocket and then remembered that all his magic props were in his suitcase and he hadn't taken them out yet.
Sera Masumi looked at the group of people in front of her, especially Kudo Shinichi and Conan, who had completely different reactions to Mao Lilan, and the corner of her mouth slightly raised with interest.
Could it be that he was the "magician" who put a smile on the elder brother's face at the beach ten years ago?
But this is impossible, after all, ten years have passed...
Things are getting more and more interesting.
But if you want to explore the truth, you still need to calm down the situation in front of you...
"Hey! Stop making noise, everyone!"
Seriang suddenly burst out with a roar from his dantian, instantly silencing everyone.
Seeing everyone looking at her, she scratched her head in embarrassment.
"Ha~ Sorry, I seem to have recognized the wrong person~"
"Actually, one of my friends named 'Xinyi' looks very similar to you, so I thought you were that guy..."
Seriang took a step forward and continued: "Also, I didn't come here specifically to see anyone today. I came to visit Baker Street with my mother."
"But my mother just called me and said that she met an old friend on the street, so she went home first..."
"If you don't believe it, I can call my mother to testify."
Seeing that Shiliang's explanation was so sincere and well-founded, Mao Lilan quickly put away her aggrieved expression and waved her hand.
"No, no, I'm sorry to let you see a bad scene..."
"Where is it~ I called people randomly without seeing clearly, causing you trouble..."
Seeing Mao Lilan and Sera apologizing to each other, Kuroba Kaito and Conan wiped the sweat from their foreheads at the same time.
Conan, Kaito: Thank you mom!
Only Mouri Kogoro squinted his eyes slightly, feeling that something was wrong.
How could there be such a coincidence? He is called "Xinyi" and looks similar to Xinyi?
But as long as her daughter's anger subsides, it will be fine. If Mao Lilan gets angry and smashes a telephone pole or street lamp here, she might be permanently blacklisted by the UK.
At this moment, the boy Glass, who had been watching the Shura Field for a long time, shouted.
"Hey! What are you doing?"
"Do you still want to solve that matter?"
At this time, Conan remembered that he still had an incident with the keyword "dead man" to deal with.
Although this is the UK, the spirit of roaring when encountering injustice is still necessary.
What's more, this is the hometown of Sherlock Holmes, and nothing can be done to make criminals too arrogant.
Conan was about to open his mouth to ask, but Seriang bent down first, put away his cheerful expression, and asked seriously: "Little brother, what on earth is that fatal incident you mentioned?"
Under the serious eyes of everyone, Glass finally explained.
It turned out that when he was watching tennis players training on the court after lunch, a strange man spoke to him from behind.
The man said that someone was about to be murdered somewhere in London, right in front of Glass's eyes.
And the other party also handed him a note, saying that it was the "Apocalypse" and asked it to be forwarded to Scotland Yard.
If it still can't be solved, then...
"Just go find Holmes..."
"After he finished speaking, he disappeared."
Seriang took the note from Glass and unfolded it. There was a poem-like English paragraph printed inside.
There are only 7 lines in total, but the meaning is obscure and difficult to understand.
At this moment, a man's voice came from the crowd.
"You are here!"
Everyone followed the sound and saw a golden-brown man with short hair coming straight to Grasse from a short distance away.
"Don't run around, I've been looking for you..."
Shiliang asked alertly: "Who are you?"
Glass explained: "He is my sister's former coach, Ares. I heard that he was also a very good tennis player in the past."
"Now my sister is busy on tour, and my mother's eyesight is not very good, so I leave many things at home to him..."
Shiliang nodded thoughtfully, it turned out to be that kind of relationship...
"Apollo, let's go quickly, your sister's game is about to begin."
Glass looked at Sera with some concern, but Sera shook the note in his hand, showed two tiger teeth and said with a smile: "Don't worry, we will leave this matter to us~"
In this way, Ares took Glass away, but before leaving, he exchanged phone numbers with Sera so that he could understand the subsequent progress of the matter.
After Glass left, Conan, his group, and Sera were left looking at each other.
Before Conan could speak, Seriang took the initiative to reason.
"It seems I can't just sit back and do nothing..."
"Since the other party handed this suspicious note to the police, it means that he will give him time to think, and the possibility of committing the crime immediately is extremely low."
"What do you think?"
"A disciple of Sherlock Holmes?"
Sera lowered his head and looked at Conan.
Seeing the meaningful smile on the other person's face, Conan couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
Of course, he is not a fool. It is impossible to believe that there is a person named "Xinyi" who looks very similar to himself.
I already have a face-shaking monster named "Kuroba Kaito". If I have more "Shinichi", then my face will be too popular, right?
But where does this guy come from?
And judging from her reasoning, it seems like she is not an ordinary person.
"I think it's better to hand it over to the police first..."
Conan chose the least obvious and safe answer.
"good!"
Sera suddenly shouted with enthusiasm, "Then let's go to Scotland Yard together!"
"It just so happens that I've been in the UK for a while, and I'm very familiar with it!"
…
the other side.
Under the leadership of Akai Marie, the two came to a hotel by the Thames River.
Qin Zhibo looked at the magnificent courtyard in front of him, and then thought about the hotel he stayed in. It was simply down a notch.
The two took the elevator to the 12th floor, swiped the room card and entered one of the rooms on that floor.
"This is it..."
"Please take a seat first, I have to go to the bathroom."
Mary took off her coat and hung it by the door, then turned and entered the toilet.
Qin Zhibo stood alone in the room and looked around and found that it was a double room with a green bra on one of the beds.
Just by looking at it, the item information popped up.
[A piece of women's underwear: size 32A]
Boxer briefs, boxer briefs…
Qin Zhibo turned his attention to the window sill again, where a telescope was placed.
Outside the window, we faced the Vauxhall Bridge we just passed.
