…
The last location.
"I asked people in the store and they said it was very troublesome for them that people hang strange decorations on the store's sign every day, and this is it."
Xiaolan handed the strange decoration to Kasuga Ling to see.
It is a rope with bells of various colors, and each bell has a letter written on it.
There is also text similar to the title written on the part where the rope is tied. Unfortunately, it is a bit dirty and the text cannot be read clearly.
Conan understood it the first time he saw this thing, "This title should be a study of scarlet. That is, Conan Doyle's first work of Sherlock Holmes, A Study in Scarlet."
"Eh?" Xiaolan was stunned.
Chun Riling smiled slightly and twisted the red rope from among the colorful ropes.
She took over Conan's words and said, "What Sherlock Holmes said in this story is also my favorite sentence.
Life is a bunch of colorless threads, entangled with a blood-red thread called murder. Our job is to unravel and separate this thread so that criminal acts can be hidden in broad daylight. "
The red thread she lifted, the bell attached to it, was the last letter, r.
Mouri Kogoro said blankly, "Since the last letter is r, then the keyword is...the seven letters r, right?"
"If the five letters represent Santa, what do the remaining u and r represent?"
There was confusion in Xiaolan's eyes. She subconsciously looked at the girl, only to find that she was looking at Conan again.
"Naka?"
Hearing this, Chun Riling raised his head and coughed dryly, "No, just one letter A is enough."
"What?" Mouri Kogoro was stunned.
The corners of Kasuri Ling's lips raised, and her bright blue eyes were clear, "The order of letters is s, a, t, u, r, n, saturn, which is Saturn.
Judging from the meaning after cracking the code, the prisoner is likely to plan to take action on Saturday. "
"Saturday?" Xiaolan was stunned for a moment, and the next second, her eyes widened, full of disbelief and nervousness.
"Isn't that tomorrow?!"
Mouri Kogoro didn't understand what he heard, and said hurriedly, "Wait! Wait! Wait!
If it is Japanese, you can indeed associate it with Saturday from Saturn.
But in English, Saturn should be called the planet of earth, right? "
At this time, Conan explained, "No, the word saturn comes from the god of farming in Roman mythology. It is a word made of s, a, t, u, r, n, u, s.
The day of saturnus is called saturday. As for the English pronunciation of saturnus, it is saturn. "
When Mouri Kogoro heard this, he immediately understood, "So that's it... No, why do you, a brat, even understand this thing?!"
He stared at Conan with suspicion.
Conan choked and immediately hesitated and explained in a panic that he had just read this knowledge in a book recently.
Mouri Kogoro was dubious.
Apollo looked at everyone, spread his hands and looked confused, "But, where and what will happen on Saturday?"
at this time.
A silver-white car parked on the road next to the crowd, and a woman's soft call came from the car, "Apollo!"
Hearing the sound, several people looked at him one after another.
In the car, the woman wearing sunglasses continued, "Is this voice Apollo?"
Apollo exclaimed excitedly, "Mom, how did you know I was here?"
The woman smiled calmly and said, "I decoded the code message you gave me, and the last line mentioned this store, right?
You see what I said is right, Ares? "
The man who was driving nodded, "Yes, you are truly a Sherlock Holmes fan."
The woman said to Apollo outside the car, "It's almost time for us to go back to the hotel. We will cheer for Minieba's game together tomorrow."
Apollo looked reluctant.
"Not now!"
Mouri Kogoro stepped forward and said, "Leave the secret code to us. The kid should go back to his mother quickly."
"But..." Apollo hesitated.
At this time, Xiaolan stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "By the way, your mother said that she wanted to cheer for Minieba's game together, but his eyes are not right?"
Apollo smiled, pointing to his eyes and explaining, "Although she can't see it, she can tell by hearing the sound.
Therefore, my mother will go every time my sister competes in the finals.
Last year, my sister lost the French tennis final because her mother did not come to cheer for her. "
"Apollo, be good and get in the car quickly." the woman urged.
"But...even though all the codes have been solved, I still don't know where and what will happen."
"Isn't there Holmes's apprentice helping you? Right, he will definitely solve the mystery."
Conan nodded, "Apollo, don't worry, leave this matter to us!"
Seeing this, Apollo had no choice but to get in the car and follow his family back.
"..."
Return to hotel.
Kasuga Ling sat down on the bed, holding an orange in her hand and eating it.
She looked at Conan's serious thinking expression since he came back.
"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry yet."
Hearing this, Conan raised his head and looked at the girl expectantly, "Sister Nahua, do you know anything else?"
"I don't make it."
Chun Riling answered innocently, while eating a piece of orange.
Conan: "..."
He had a dark look on his face, "Then how can we not be in a hurry? You know tomorrow is Saturday."
"Isn't there Uncle Maori? He will come up with the answer, the answer that we ignored." Kasuga Ling leaned forward and lay on the bed, her little black stocking feet dangling leisurely off the ground, with her toes hooked in the slippers.
Conan was stunned, "How do you say this?"
He walked to the bed and asked curiously.
Obviously all the contents on the code paper had been deciphered, and even the string of letters obtained had been deduced.
Kasuga Ling pursed her lips and said, "Hades Shabak, how could you just throw out a time as a password? There must be a place.
So we must have overlooked some answer, what do you think? "
Conan: "..."
He was speechless. Of course he knew this. He originally thought that Nahua knew what the ignored answer was.
At this time, Dr. Ali made two cups of coffee and came over, "You guys should rest for a while and think again."
Chun Riling immediately jumped up when she smelled the fragrance, her eyebrows curved, "Thank you, doctor."
Conan was helpless and sighed silently.
"Don't sigh, there is still one day, isn't there? Go, drink coffee and take a rest."
Kasuga Ling raised one slender leg and put it on top of the other. The smooth pleated skirt slid down to the top of her thigh, highlighting the girl's plump buttocks.
She raised her white and tender hands, pressed her fingers harder on Conan's forehead, and pushed it away.
Conan touched his forehead and reluctantly picked up a cup of hot coffee placed next to the table.
I just picked it up and was about to lower my head and blow the hot coffee when a girl's delicate voice sounded behind me.
"Thank you, Conan, for helping me get it."
Conan: "..."
