With the local boy as our guide, the investigation went more smoothly.
Kuroba Kaito was very professional, so Kogoro Mori and Ran Mori didn't realize they were being followed.
Immediately, the four people maintained a strange and harmonious distance and arrived in the heart of the British capital.
St. Bride's Church in London was built in the 17th century. It did not survive the Great Fire of London in 1666, and was later destroyed in World War II. It was also a misfortune.
However, it was precisely because of this special experience that the subsequent restoration and restoration work was carried out to imitate the multi-tiered wedding cake.
The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of summer coolness.
The sun shines on the streets of London and also illuminates St. Bride's Church. From a distance, the building looks like a giant wedding cake.
The exterior wall of the church is as white as snow, with tall spires rising from the ground, decorated with exquisite carvings and complex patterns. The walls are inlaid with gorgeous stained glass windows, which divide the sunlight into countless colorful rays of light, reflecting the busyness of the church. On every building adjacent to the street.
Getting married... Kuroba Kaito was a little distracted.
Here, when Mao Lilan was listening to the little boy named Apollo Glass telling about the love history of his sister and the tennis coach, he unconsciously thought of himself and Kudo Shinichi.
"Xiaolan, why are you blushing?"
Mouri Kogoro was alert, feeling as if the cabbage was about to be delivered to the pig's mouth.
"No, no." Mao Lilan's bean-eyed expression completely lost the heroic spirit of blocking Kudo Shinichi in the phone booth yesterday.
"Aren't you going to look for it? The code related to Sherlock Holmes is probably hidden somewhere in this church." Apollo Glass couldn't help but urge.
At his current age, his understanding of 'love' is still at the level of 'I like you, so I want to be with you', so he obviously can't understand why he just casually mentioned that my sister will be with her in the future. The current coach Ares held his wedding in this church, and the 'unicorn' sister in front of him started to be stunned.
"Yes, we have to find it quickly."
Mao Lilan rushed towards the church as if he was running away.
Kuroba Kaito came to his senses faster. Before he even had time to think about the future with Nakamori Aoko, he alertly laid his eyes on a woman wearing a black top and slim-fitting jeans.
The other party's face was covered with thick makeup, and the only eyes that could reveal details were tightly covered by a fisherman's hat and sunglasses.
When Kuroba Kaito noticed the other party, the woman also called out to Mao Lilan:
"You are looking for something related to Sherlock Holmes, is this it? There are some scattered around the church..."
She handed over a piece of paper sealed with plastic wrap.
The paper is light pink, with black pen writing on it:
【A Scandal in Bohemia】
Translates to 'Scandal in Bohemia'.
This is also a story in the Sherlock Holmes series created by Arthur Conan Doyle, but it is different from the previous Crown Jewels case.
Not only did Kuroba Kaito know this story, but he also watched the adapted play with her mother in a theater troupe when she was a child.
The content is basically that Holmes received a commission from a certain royal family and asked him to help retrieve the photos of his romantic relationship with his lover Irene.
However, during the investigation, Holmes was seen through by the woman named Irene, causing all his plans to come to nothing in the end, and he also developed a different kind of feeling for Irene.
It is a rare chapter in which Sherlock Holmes is suppressed in terms of IQ.
Kuroba Kaito sighed with emotion, noticing that the strangely dressed woman had no other suspicious behavior, but walked straight to the stop sign, acting as if she was just passing by and overheard the conversation between Maori and his daughter, and picked up the The feeling of handing over the code paper to the other party.
Well, it seems that I am overthinking it, it must be just a coincidence...
He shook his head, and his thoughts returned to the code again.
The doll in front of the city hall, the pen near the insurance company, and this handwritten pink letter.
If it was a coincidence, now in three consecutive locations and three secret codes, Hades has not used the printer again.
This also means that the other party has long been prepared to continue hiding in another place after killing that family.
Thinking of this, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but think of what a professor named Ye said when he asked Hades if he had returned to the scene:
"If it were me... I would move to another place if necessary."
Hiss... Brother, there is no need for any presuppositions to assume the role of the bad guy. This 'guess' is too accurate.
However... this also shows that Hades is indeed a difficult character to deal with.
Really... that cold-faced man with dead fish eyes didn't even take the initiative to call me...
How about calling me and sharing the information yourself?
Ahem... Even a person like Holmes will occasionally fail in the field he is best at... It's not a big deal if he gets teased a few times by his brother.
Kuroba Kaito was comforting himself in this way. Just when his palms were touching his pockets honestly, Maorilan's slightly changed exclamation suddenly came to his ears:
"What, you said it's Satan!?"
Eh? Satan?
Kuroba Kaito stopped taking out his cell phone.
Isn’t that the name used in some religions to collectively refer to the devil? It is said that he was once a special messenger of God, but later rebelled against God and was expelled from heaven.
According to Christian scriptures, Satan was originally in heaven, with a magnificent status and beautiful angelic image. However, because of his pride and jealousy of God, he tried to seize God's power and hoped to become the supreme being.
However, his plot ultimately failed, and God drove him out of heaven. However, the powerful Satan did not die, but became a symbol of evil and destruction.
Hey hey, right?
Kuroba Kaito was stunned and looked at Mao Lilan who was on the phone over there.
In the past, he would never associate too much with a name, but after seeing Koizumi Anko's red magic, this idea has changed.
Especially the name 'Satan' reminded him of the necklace that looked cheap but made Koizumi Anko feel as weak as if she had been drugged.
Satan's wings.
Is there any relationship between the two?
Wait a moment……
I remember……
Kuroba Kaito glanced at Mao Lilan again, to be precise, it was the cell phone she was talking on.
The Demon of Light, Anko seems to have called Kudo Shinichi that.
Could it be that...that famous detective has solved the code?
