Conan felt the vibration in his trouser pocket and quickly took out his cell phone to see that it was indeed Qin Zhibo's call.
Mao Lilan, who was next to him, also saw Conan take out his mobile phone and asked, "Did you get a call?"
"Yeah! It's A Li..."
Conan originally wanted to use Dr. Agasa as an excuse, but when he thought that the doctor was also watching the game on this court, he quickly changed his mind and said, "It's Haibara-san's call. I'll go out and answer it!"
Conan took the phone and left quickly. As soon as he arrived in the aisle of the auditorium, he quickly picked up the phone.
"Conan, did you call me just now?"
On the other side, Qin Zhibo was walking on the sidewalk on the street, holding a mobile phone in one hand.
"Well, I wanted to ask you, how's your reasoning about the code going?"
"Am I overthinking it?"
More than an hour ago, Conan called Qin Zhibo, who was far away in Japan, to unlock the last key content of Hades's code.
At that time, Qin Zhibo was using Michael's identity to attract Belmod to appear on the bridge, while thinking about the secret code.
But just when he had some idea in his mind, Belmode's fake Akai Mutake appeared on the bridge, so he didn't pay attention to it for a while.
It wasn't until I checked my phone just now and found a missed call from Conan that I thought of it again.
"About the secret code..."
Just as Qin Zhibo was about to reason, several police cars were speeding past on the street, and their piercing sirens made passers-by frown and stare.
Qin Zhibo's eyes followed the police cars whizzing by and found that these police cars were heading towards the intersection where the car crashed just now.
It is estimated that there were guns hidden in the car, and passers-by had already called the police.
At the same time, the sound of police 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 is not lying, after all, the situation just now can indeed be regarded as a case.
"As for the code, now that you have deciphered the meaning of each of the seven codes, you should understand that the final message the prisoner wants to express can only be composed of the contents of the entire code."
"Constituted together?" Conan asked in confusion, "But how to form it?"
Qin Zhibo said calmly: "It's very simple. Follow the order in the code and connect all the locations expressed by the code in turn. This is the final message that the code expresses."
"What?!"
Qin Zhibo's words were like enlightenment. Conan's eyes immediately widened, and the suddenness in his eyes was not concealed at all.
yes!
How could I forget this!
Conan gritted his teeth and looked around, looking for a map of London.
But this is a tennis court, how can there be maps for sale?
At this moment, Qin Zhibo, who guessed that Conan was looking for a map, said directly on the phone: "I have already marked the location on the map..."
"The entire route starts from Big Ben, makes a big circle back to Big Ben, and then extends a line to Mason's china shop below."
"Judging from this figure, it may be a balloon..."
"But if you think about it being related to a location in London, it should be a long-handled racket, similar to a badminton racket, or..."
"Tennis racket."
Tennis racket!
Woo——!
As soon as Conan walked out of the ticket gate, exciting cheers came from the stadium behind him.
He had already prepared to leave the stadium immediately after learning the location where Hades finally committed the crime, and go to the target location to stop the crime.
They had already thought of an excuse for Mao Lilan and others, and just said it was an impromptu call from "Kudo Shinichi", saying that he had unlocked the password or something.
But now, when he heard the keyword "tennis racket", he immediately stopped.
Tennis racket?
that is not……
Qin Zhibo on the other side continued: "If I remember correctly, today's Wimbledon tennis match will be held in London, right?"
"And today seems to be the finals. I think the murderer's final location should be there."
Qin Zhibo raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was now 2:30 in the afternoon, and the game had already started half an hour ago.
Now even if Conan rushes there, he can't get in without a ticket.
The only way is to report it to Scotland Yard and let the police deal with the matter.
But just when he was thinking this, Conan murmured on the other side of the phone.
"Actually, I'm at the Wimbledon tennis match right now..."
Hearing this, Qin Zhibo's face immediately shook.
What kind of disaster is this?
He quickly asked: "Why are you there?"
Conan replied: "The ticket was given by the rich woman who invited Uncle Maori to visit London. Now the uncle, Xiaolan, and the doctor are all in the audience..."
"Rich woman?"
Qin Zhibo was a little surprised. Are all rich women today so generous?
Not only does it include air tickets and accommodation, it also includes tickets for such a heavyweight event.
However, he didn't pay much attention to this, but continued to ask: "Then did you notice anything unusual on the court?"
"abnormal?"
Conan was puzzled because he was too busy thinking about the secret code and didn't pay attention to what was happening on the court.
At this moment, many spectators walked out of the entrance behind him.
The audience gathered in groups of twos and threes, discussing the content of the game with slightly regretful expressions on their faces.
"I didn't expect the first set to end so quickly, and it was so crushing..."
"Yeah, that's the number one grass queen in the world. I didn't expect to score 0:6..."
"Maybe it's because I'm out of shape today? I'm afraid this game will be difficult..."
The audience passed by Conan, but what they said entered Conan's ears.
At this moment, Conan suddenly remembered what was broadcast on the London news 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 this was only the first set, and it was already 0:6?
Could it be...
An idea suddenly came to Conan's mind, and he quickly said to Qin Zhibo on the phone: "I seem to have some clues..."
“I’ll contact you later!”
After saying that, Conan immediately hung up the phone and ran towards the stadium against the flow of people coming out to use the restroom.
When Qin Zhibo heard that Conan decided to solve the incident alone, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Although he didn't pay attention to this matter in the past two days, he couldn't help but watch the news on TV.
Hades was an extreme revenger who avenged his mother's death from illness. Not only did he kill his friends who advised him to buy stocks and gamble, but he even blew up a hospital last time.
The target this time was a tennis court. Judging from the scale, the method of retaliation should also be a bomb.
Once it is not handled properly, Hades is entirely likely to detonate the bomb in advance, causing a large number of casualties.
And maybe Conan himself didn't even notice that his biggest reliance, the watch-type anesthesia needle, had been used up when he was dealing with Kuroba Kaito at the airport.
"Um……"
Qin Zhibo groaned and thought about his current affairs.
The "fishing plan" was considered a failure. Belmode was rescued. Mary is now unconscious and must be sent to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible.
After he wakes up, he still needs to use his identity as MI6 to get rid of the police investigation, so he cannot meet her immediately.
The performance of the Hooper Thaumaturgy Troupe will not officially start until 3pm, which is still half an hour away.
But with Kuroba Kaito watching over there, there should be no problem.
After much thought, 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 auditorium, scanning the entire stadium with a serious face.
This is a very large stadium that can accommodate 15,000 people. Judging from the area, Hades's bomb should not be able to flatten the entire stadium.
In other words, he should have planted the bomb somewhere alone.
Who will be the target?
Auditorium?
VIP viewing area?
Or...Mineba Glass herself?
At this moment, the big screen on the side of the court also displayed every ball landing location of both players in the first set.
The moment he saw where the serve landed, Conan suddenly understood.
So this is ah……
The target is indeed Minerba!
When he was studying in Hawaii, Conan had studied Braille.
Learning Braille was not only out of initial interest, but also because of the possibility that this special writing would be used in a certain case in the future.
Unexpectedly, I finally used this skill today.
According to the statistics of serve placement posted on the big screen, Conan quickly analyzed them in his mind.
The first letter is H.
Then E, L...P.
Together they are, help.
This is asking for help!
Conan put down the right hand holding his chin and quickly turned his gaze to Minerva below.
It was time to rest between dishes, and Minerva was drinking water and wiping 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.
Other than that, there are no eye-catching objects around.
The preparation area for the players is independent of the audience seats. In order to prevent spectators from behind from interfering with the players during the game, the distance is relatively far.
If the target of the bomb attack was Miniba, how would the murderer plant the bomb?
And how did Minerba learn on the scene that the murderer's target was herself?
Just as Conan was concentrating on his thoughts, a pair of figures stood next to him.
"Conan?"
"What are you doing standing here?"
Conan looked back and saw that it was Mao Lilan and Sera Masumi who were coming.
"Sister Xiaolan?" Conan was a little surprised, "Why are you here?"
"Of course, I was worried that you were lost, so I went out with Zhenzhun to look for you..."
Just as he was talking, Mao Lilan took Conan's little hand and walked to the seat. As he walked, he said, "The second set will start soon. Let's go back to our seats quickly..."
Conan wanted to sit back when he heard this. How could he find bombs and prisoners?
So he quickly acted cute and looked pitiful, "Sister Xiaolan, I need to go to the toilet!"
"To the restroom?"
Mao Lilan turned around, with a hint of sullenness in surprise, "Didn't you just go to the toilet? Why did you go to the toilet again?"
In just half an hour, Conan ran out twice, and Mao Lilan was already convinced that he just wanted to sneak out and play alone.
If you were in Japan, you would turn a blind eye to this kind of behavior.
But this is England, and there is still a mixed bag of tennis courts. If you get lost here, you will have no way to explain to Conan's mother Fumiyo Edogawa.
"No! Just go back and watch the game!"
Seeing that the urine escape method was not working, Conan began to squat on the ground and start playing tricks.
"No~ I need to go to the toilet!"
However, when Mao Lilan saw Conan acting so uncharacteristically, she became even more convinced of her thoughts.
"no!"
Mao Lilan forcibly dragged Conan who was squatting on the ground with one hand. Under the terrifying force, Conan was dragged as easily as a sledge.
At this moment, Sera Masumi on the side took the initiative and said: "Xiaolan, 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 Masaki, "Is this okay?"
"Oh~ It's nothing, I just take care of the kids~"
Sera Masumi looked down at Conan, showed two small tiger teeth and smiled: "Conan, would you like to go to the toilet with your sister?"
Conan knew that this was the only way to get away from Xiao Lan at the moment, so he could only smile and nod.
"Um!"
"Yo Xi! Let's go then!"
Just like that, Sera Masumi took Conan's little hand and walked towards the exit.
When the two of them walked to the corridor outside the exit, Conan immediately began to think of ways to get rid of Sera Masumi.
Fortunately, Serang Zhen is a girl. If the other party wants to use the women's restroom, he must go to the men's restroom.
The moment the other person entered the toilet, he quickly came out of the toilet and went to do business.
But just when Conan had already planned his next plan, Serang let go of Conan's little hand.
"Conan, you didn't come out to use the toilet? Right?"
Seriang lowered his head, narrowed his eyes and smiled at Conan.
Conan looked surprised and 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 does have doubts about him.
Although Kudo Shinichi and Conan appeared at the same time on the first day they met on Baker Street, to this day, she still felt that the boy in front of her was the boy she met at the beach 10 years ago.
Especially the way he looks when he is thinking is exactly the same as before.
If there is any difference between the two, it is that the boy in front of him seems more mature than before.
So when he saw Conan strongly demanding to go out to use the toilet again, Sera realized that the boy might know something.
It may be related to the code incident...
"Uh...what are you talking about? Sister Sera?"
Seeing that his purpose was revealed, Conan could only pretend to be stupid as usual.
But Sera didn't give him any face, and said directly: "The phone call just now was probably made by Kudo Shinichi to you, right? Is the content related to the secret code incident?"
Although he had doubts in his heart, Sera did not ignore the existence of Kudo Shinichi and believed that there was a high probability that Conan accepted Kudo Shinichi's guidance.
Conan saw that Sera's guess was very close to the correct answer, and it was indeed difficult for him to stop Hades on his own.
no solution anymore……
Conan could only tell Sera Masumi exactly what happened.
