Chapter 1279 When "Death" Comes(1/2)
…
"Blow up, blow up?"
The Maori father and daughter showed shocked expressions in unison.
Is the rice cracker specialty "eight eggs" also popular in London, England?
Sera Masumi nodded, "Yes, it is said that Hades met a woman named 'Hestia' during his escape. She was a down-and-out mercenary and a bomb expert."
"She helped a lot in Hades' revenge..."
"Two months ago, the police found the hiding place of this female suspect, but she blew herself up in the building and died..."
As Masumi Sera spoke, she recalled the information her mother Mari told her last night.
Since Hades caused mass casualties in London, MI6 is also investigating him.
According to MI6's subsequent investigation at the "Hestia" self-destruction site, it is believed that it is more likely that she is still alive.
At this time, Mouri Kogoro wondered: "But now that the identity of the prisoner is known, the police should be able to arrest Hades soon, right?"
Sera explained with a serious face, "This is the tricky part..."
"Hades kept having plastic surgery during his escape and has changed his face several times so far."
"This is exactly what is dangerous about him. His real target is likely to be the United Kingdom, which regards gambling and gambling as legal..."
The UK is a country that has adopted completely liberal policies towards gambling and gaming.
After Hades kills everyone involved in his mother's death, he will probably transfer his hatred to the entire country.
Shiliang's analysis surprised Mao Lilan next to him and asked: "Zhenchun, your analysis is so professional..."
"It's almost like a detective."
"Ah?" Shiliang looked startled, turned around and scratched his head with a smile, "Really? I just explained the content of the news report..."
In fact, she had considered using her reasoning skills to become a high school detective, but there were not many cases in London, and Scotland Yard alone was enough to cope with daily life.
In addition, Scotland Yard also has an official detective who is also a high school student. Except for gender, the other settings are the same as his own.
The most important thing is that Mary does not allow her to be too ostentatious in England, otherwise it will easily attract the attention of bad people.
The "bad guys" in Mary's words were naturally the "organization" that forced their family to leave the UK.
organize……
As soon as he thought of "organization" in his mind, Masumi Sera's eyes revealed a stern look unique to the Akai family.
It was also the first time she learned from Mary yesterday that what her father was fighting was such a behemoth...
"Well~"
"In short, all we can do now is to decipher the 'code'."
"When I went back yesterday, I gave the contents of the secret code to my mother. She really thought of a possibility..."
Sera showed the photo of the note again on his mobile phone and explained it to the Mori father and daughter and Dr. Agasa.
"Actually, we all thought wrong at first. The code on this piece of paper is not intended to express a single location, but multiple locations..."
"You see, the first sentence, 'The roaring bells woke me up from my sleep,' actually refers to London's Big Ben, which is famous all over London and even around the world."
"Big Ben is located in the north of the Palace of Westminster. According to Greenwich Time, it chimes every hour..."
"The second sentence, 'I am a long-nosed magician who lives in a castle,' doesn't have any meaning yet."
"But the third sentence, 'The only thing that can fill your stomach is boiled eggs as cold as corpses', should refer to the London City Hall, because the appearance of that building looks like an egg placed sideways.
…”
After Sera gave the code to Mary last night, Mary guessed the meaning of the code after just thinking about it for a moment.
After all, Mary's family, the Sera family, was considered an aristocratic family in England before its decline and had lived on this land for generations, making Mary very familiar with everything in London.
Mary relied on her impression of London to guess the locations in the code.
It's just that based on these locations, we can't guess where exactly Hades plans to take action, so we can only let Sera walk around during the day to see if he can find any new clues.
Seriang finished his analysis and arranged the next itinerary.
"Since the first thing mentioned in the code is Big Ben, let's go there first!"
…
On the other side, Conan and Kuroba Kaito arrived at the University of Brightchester in a special car.
Along the way, Conan was catching up on his sleep in the back seat. When he felt the car suddenly stop, he lazily got up.
He held the front seat with his hands and looked out the window.
Behind the ancient campus gate is a lush, long tree-lined avenue.
Oak trees are planted on both sides of the avenue, and in the middle there are groups of students strolling on the road, holding various books in their hands.
"There are too many students in front of us. It's inconvenient to take a bus. Why don't you go in and look for them? I'll wait for you here."
The driver in the driving seat spoke to Kuroba Kaito in English.
Kuroba Kaito thought the same thing. Judging from the number of people in this school, it would be difficult to find a parking spot after entering.
"Then I'll trouble you... Come on, kid, let's get out of the car."
Kuroba Kaito fully adapted to his identity as "Kudo Shinichi" and directly called Conan a kid.
This made Conan roll his eyes in displeasure, but there was nothing he could do about it.
After the two got off the car, they walked straight forward in the direction of the main road, looking around curiously as they walked.
Unlike at night, the University of Brightchester during the day is no different from an ordinary university.
Students chatting and laughing were walking on the road. Although they were holding heavy books in their hands, they could not feel the pressure of schoolwork at all from their faces.
This atmosphere made Conan and Kuroba Kaito a little distracted for a while.
After all, the two of them are about to reach the age of entering college, and their life after entering college can be used as a reference.
And with their IQs, it is certain that they will enter a world-famous university like the University of Bristol in the future.
The only thing that may limit the degree to which the two of them can advance to higher education is the degree to which their future girlfriends can advance to higher education.
The two of them just enjoyed the beautiful scenery and walked to the central area of the university before they remembered that they were here to do business.
"Hey, where are you going?" Conan asked, squinting upward at Kuroba Kaito.
Kuroba Kaito was startled and quickly remembered that his final destination was the Blychester Astronomical Research Institute.
He looked around and saw no map or road signs within his field of vision.
But in front of a campus bulletin board, I saw a graceful figure standing in front of the bulletin board and reading the content on it.
She has long, smooth, pale golden hair hanging behind a rice-colored windbreaker.
Although the windbreaker itself is a bit off-putting, just by the pair of slender legs in light black silk exposed from the hem of the windbreaker, you can tell that she is definitely a beauty.
Kuroba Kaito's eyes swept over that figure, and he immediately became energetic and walked forward to strike up a conversation with a relaxed pace.
"Hi, hello~".
The woman who was looking at the bulletin board was startled by the sound and turned her head, just in time to see the sunny smile on the face of Kuroba Kaito next to her.
"Hello~"
The woman returned the same polite smile and answered with a hint of enthusiasm.
Kuroba Kaito was a little surprised for a moment.
Because the person he struck up a conversation with was not only a beautiful woman, but also a very outstanding beauty with glasses.
The woman wears a pair of round-framed glasses. Although glasses are said to affect her appearance, they look just right on this woman’s oval face.
The beige windbreaker is wrapped in a black professional dress skirt, and underneath the skirt are stockings that are slightly lighter than black.
The only flaw is that she wears a pair of black sneakers under the stockings, which are more practical.
"Hello..." Kuroba Kaito was a little dazed for a moment, but after all, he had countless women, he quickly reacted and asked in a normal tone: "Are you a student of this school?"
"Well..." the woman paused, "I guess."
Kuroba Kaito was surprised, "What does 'account' mean?"
The woman smiled and replied: "Actually, my alma mater is this university. I happened to pass by nearby today, so I came in to take a look..."
alma mater?
Kuroba Kaito quickly ran through the woman's appearance in his field of vision, and he did feel that she was a little more mature than the college students here.
While he was thinking about it, the woman took the initiative to ask.
"Excuse me, do you have a problem with me?"
"And judging from your face and accent, are you Japanese?"
Kuroba Kaito just spoke English, but all Japanese people understand English.
