On the other side, St. Mary Ax Street in the financial district.
Kuroba Kaito dialed Ye Gengyi's phone number:
"Brother, there is something new here. I followed the two of them to the insurance company known as the 'Gherkin'. There are many scratched and strange-looking pens scattered around here."
"Is there a lot of cover nearby?" Ye Geng asked.
"Not much." Kuroba Kaito looked around casually.
"Where are the pens? Are they conspicuous?" Ye Gengyi asked again.
"Just throw it on the non-motorized road along the roadside." Kuroba Kaito said.
In this way, the situation is different from the green belt in front of the city hall... Ye Gengyi said:
"It's possible that the murderer threw it after the cleaners cleaned the street. You should go find a nearby store to find out the situation."
"I've already asked."
Kuroba Kaito said presciently: "The owner of a breakfast shop said that he saw a man wearing a black peaked cap passing by this morning, and then scattered the pens in the bag on the ground."
"What time?" Ye Geng asked.
"The boss doesn't remember it very clearly. It was probably between 6:30 and 7:00." Kuroba Kaito said.
"Another two hours have passed since now..."
Ye Gengyi murmured.
He has checked all the suspicious locations inside Wimbledon Stadium, but no trace of the bomb has been found.
"That's right, brother..."
Kuroba Kaito said: "I eavesdropped on their conversation, and the code left here is the letter N."
T...and N?
Trinitrotoluene is TNT, the chemical formula is CHNO... 'Showing off' the newly learned content in a certain way is equivalent to indicating the method of committing the crime, which is also in line with Hades's psychological state after learning to make bombs.
But...the problem is that he didn't find the bomb from here.
Ye Geng thought for a while, decided to change his mind, and asked:
"Think about it for a moment, if it were you, when you satisfy your 'evil taste', if the plan goes well, will you execute it step by step according to the content in the notice letter?"
"ah?"
Kuroba Kaito always felt that there was something strange about this question, so he pondered for a moment before answering:
"Of course I will... because only in that way can I show my abilities to the maximum extent."
"Okay, I understand. Keep an eye on your side and contact me if there is any news." Ye Gengyi said and hung up the phone.
Eh? ? ?
Wait a minute... So, the 'thinking on behalf of' mentioned just now refers to identifying the murderer's behavior through one's own subjective judgment? ? ?
(╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻...What the hell is going on in my mind...
Kuroba Kaito went a little crazy and was distracted for a moment and complained, but he did not dare to neglect his actions and continued to follow Maori and his daughter at a moderate distance.
Is this direction going to Big Ben?
Kuroba Kaito has quite a keen intuition about the terrain, and he guessed where he was going after a while.
At the same time, he also thought of the contents of the A4 page based on the first two scenes where the code was left.
The hard-boiled egg corresponds to the City Hall, and the pickles represent the insurance company in St. Mary's Ax Street.
These are all iconic buildings in London.
So the first roaring bell should refer to Big Ben.
When Kuroba Kaito thought of this, he immediately took out his cell phone and was about to call Ye Gengyi. As soon as his finger reached the dial button, he stopped again, curled his lips and thought to himself:
"Hey... with the bastard brother's reasoning ability, it is absolutely impossible to ignore this, no! He must have thought of it when he mentioned the 'little cucumber'. Then the reason why he deliberately teased himself is just All that's left is what happened in the early morning, otherwise I wouldn't have mentioned those few gems until now. Hmph... Anyway, you definitely want the detective uncle's movements, so I just won't call him!"
Kuroba Kaito put his phone back in his pocket and focused on tracking, waiting for Ye Gengyi to take the initiative to ask for information.
"It's strange. Speaking of that detective boy... could it be that he and his brother are also investigating separately?"
Because he had experienced it before, Kuroba Kaito had always been wary of Kudo Shinichi's abilities. Now that he had focused his attention, he immediately paid attention to it.
...How about getting closer to them?
After all, from the perspective of reasoning ability, tracking Kudo Shinichi would definitely be more rewarding than tracking these two people.
He considered the pros and cons and felt that even if he stepped forward as a passerby and asked Maori and his daughter what the two 'foreigners' were doing, there wouldn't be much risk.
Thinking about it, Kuroba Kaito quickened his pace and shortened the distance between the two sides.
He followed the pair onto Westminster Bridge.
Mao Lilan kept talking on the phone during the process, completely unaware of a figure approaching them quietly.
Kuroba Kaito is very accustomed to such situations.
Silently watching the two men run to the drainage outlet on one side of the bridge, and pulled up a drainage cover pulled with fishing line from under the bridge pier railing.
Is the letter A engraved on it...
Kuroba Kaito wanted to get closer and take a closer look.
At this moment, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a woman with a perfect figure on the side of the road, holding a child, walking towards the direction of Maori and his daughter with a clear purpose.
? !
Kuroba Kaito was startled. At first he thought it was some detective boy who was coming to kill him. He immediately took out his mobile phone and deliberately walked a few steps away with his head lowered. Then he leaned in front of the guardrail and pretended to make a phone call.
Huh? Why does it feel like that child's head is not very big...
Kuroba Kaito was worried that Conan would notice his gaze and reveal his identity, so he didn't dare to look at them at first, but as the two people got closer, he slowly turned his eyes away.
The little boy is just an ordinary British primary school student...but that woman seems to be the very famous tennis player Minerva Glass, right?
It seems that the other party still knows Mao Lilan.
No! It's not just a simple acquaintance...even if it doesn't reach the level of familiarity, there should still be a certain basis of trust.
The reason why Kuroba Kaito came to this conclusion was that he noticed that after Minerva Glass chatted with the Maori father and daughter for a few words, he turned around and left, leaving the little boy with freckles on his face behind.
Minerva Glass was in her twenties. How could a tennis player know the detective? It was probably just an employment relationship, right?
"So...my brother's analysis is indeed correct. The murderer's goal is the tennis match. Maybe the famous detective not only has a secret code, but also received a commission from Minerva Glass. What an important piece of information, hum! Brother, you will definitely be surprised when you call me!”
