"How can you get lost with a map?"
Gao Chengbai took a look, pointed to the line on the map and continued: "at present, I still think Wimbledon is the most dangerous game. From the boy you met who has the sister of the queen of tennis, it also proves that the prisoner has an eye on the game. The problem lies in the time of the crime, and whether the prisoner has only one goal. After all, the prisoner has a lot of children."
Shinichi Kudo became dignified and seriously studied Kao Cheng's inference.
"In this way, we need to find out the meaning of these headlines first. The prisoners leave these things related to Sherlock Holmes. If the headlines are hints..."
"Bang!"
Shinichi Kudo suddenly pulled out the head of the "Magellan gem" doll found outside the city hall. When he saw a capital letter "t" on the doll's neck, he suddenly looked surprised.
"So it is. In the story of Magellan's gem, that is, the crown jewel, Holmes said that" except for the brain accident, everything else is just accessories ". This is the original meaning of the title left by the prisoner. The key line of Holmes is the clue."
“T?”
Gao Cheng sees the hidden letters of the doll and picks up the old pen he found near the cucumbers building.
"In this case, the title engraved on the pen is" the dancer ". In this story, Holmes said," omit all the reasoning in the middle. As long as you tell the other party the starting point and conclusion, it's very simple, but it's very good to surprise the other party... "
Looking at the pen full of scratches, Gao Cheng twisted off the cap of the head and tail, removed the middle of the pen and put it together. After a little rotation, several scratches were connected to form a letter "n".
"It's true that the letters are hidden. That is to say, if the prisoner hides the letters in the place mentioned in the code, what words can he combine if he finds out all the letters?"
"Probably, but," said Kudo Shinichi, looking at Gao Cheng again with his eyelids down. "It's strange that you are not a Sherlock Holmes fan. How can you be so familiar with Sherlock Holmes's lines?"
"Not only his lines, but also his reasoning ideas and methods are familiar to me."
Gao Cheng continues to look at the photos of the other two places.
Big Ben and the station. The lines in "horror Valley" are "if there are heavy objects disappearing at the water's edge, it's always right to first see if there are things sinking at the bottom of the water." the missing bridegroom "is" when I observe women, I first pay attention to the cuff. If it's a man, it's better to look at the knee part of the pants. ".
"The knee part of the pants... No wonder even the clothes have to be prepared. It seems that we have to go again tomorrow."
But will it really go well?
The prisoners are quite experienced. Apart from the station, other places seem to pay for people to act according to the instructions. It can be said that they are thoughtful.
Gao Cheng frowned, not as excited as Shinichi Kudo because of the progress of solving puzzles.
It's no problem to untie the code. The key is to solve the problem of prisoners, which needs to be considered carefully.
Although the trouble is caused by this guy without authorization, it's not a simple matter since the case may happen. It's one of the responsibilities of all detectives to stop the crime.
……
The next morning, when Gao Cheng had breakfast and was ready to go out, the morning paper published the information of the suspect. According to the information released by the police, the fingerprints of the suspect were found on the code paper.
It's a serial murderer on the run. His name is Hades Sabara. The newspaper also has a distorted and dangerous picture, which is quite different from the ordinary serial murderers in the past.
Shinichi Kudo stayed in the hotel to investigate the prisoner's information. Although Gao Cheng had to go outside, he also contacted Xiaoai in Japan and asked Xiaoai to help collect information as much as possible. The criminal motive and previous criminal acts are very important information.
On this day, there was no big difference between the streets of London and the past, but occasionally more police patrols could be seen. Gao Cheng, accompanied by his uncle and Xiao Lan, first went to Big Ben, found the drain cover hanging into the river with fishing line by the bridge, found the letter "a" on it, and then went to St. Brad's church.
As the fat women said, the upper part of the church is the shape of the wedding cake, which is the first choice for many people in London.
Around the church, there are a lot of thick paper packed in plastic bags, but after asking the people around, no one knows who left it.
"Scandals in Bohemia" is written in black pen on the light pink thick paper, which is also a famous story of Sherlock Holmes series.
In the story, Holmes read Watson a light pink letter with the line "you don't understand because you are just looking with your eyes, not observing".
"But," Lan wondered, "how to interpret this? There seems to be nothing strange... "
"So you can't just look with your eyes."
Gao Cheng takes out the paper in the plastic bag, grabs the mineral water that uncle is drinking, soaks the paper, and says: "the meaning of using plastic bags should be to remind you to wet the paper with water, and it's coming out..."
As the paper was permeated by water, the letters on the paper gradually blurred, and finally only the "s" was clear“ Only s is written in oil pen, so there are only two places left After Gao Cheng took the photo, he went on to the elephant Castle station. Yesterday, the man didn't know where he was, but today, another man was walking around the exit of the station with a suitcase. Xiaolan was surprised and said, "it's true. Identity is written on the box, and then what happened?"“ Look at the knee of the pants. " Gao Cheng stepped forward and talked with the man for a few words. Then he squatted down and rolled up the legs of the men's trousers and found the letter U in the knee part of the inside of the trousers“ U... "" Big Ben's a, station's u, egg shaped Town Hall's t, cucumbers building's n, cake church's s s, the front six lines of code connect to be autnsa... What's the special meaning of this? " Uncle Maori wondered“ I don't know, "Gao Cheng looks at the last place on the map, Mason's porcelain shop." there is still one letter missing... "Mason's porcelain is the best in Europe. There is really only one shop in London. When Gao Cheng arrives, he finds out that there are children's pranks sticking strange decorations on the outside these two days. The decoration looks pretty good. Various colors of silk thread are tied together, and there are small bells hanging below. What words are written on the silk thread is not clear“ What shall we do? " Xiaolan looked at the dirty silk thread and said, "I don't know the title this time..." "it's OK," Gao Cheng rummaged through the bell. "It's probably about the study of blood characters, because in the lines there is" on the colorless spool of life, wrapped with the red silk thread of killing people. Our job is to untie this silk thread and separate it. We don't even leave an inch, Exposed to the sun '... "Yes, there is a letter on the red line bell."“ R?” Uncle Maori looked at the bell and said, "with this, it's autnsar. What does that mean? It doesn't seem to be a good combination of words. "“ Well Gao Cheng silently holds the bell and looks around. Unfortunately, he still doesn't see any suspicious person, or the prisoner hides himself deeply“ Ah! Here it is A car stopped in front of the store, and a little boy ran down. It was grass, the little Boy Conan met before. Xiaolan said unexpectedly, "are you the child named Apollo who gave Conan the code paper?"“ Conan The boy noticed Gao Chengyi and asked, "do you know Holmes' disciples?"“ A disciple of Holmes? " Xiaolan Leng Leng, said with a smile, "he caught a cold today, sleeping in the hotel, so we came out to investigate instead of him, but we also have two famous detectives."“ A detective Subconsciously, the little boy looked at Gao Cheng and his uncle behind him, with an expression he didn't know clearly on his face, "but I haven't seen it."“ It's a famous Japanese detective... "Xiaolan looks awkwardly at a dignified woman sitting in the car, and then asks the child," how did you come here? " The little boy said with pride, "because my mother has solved the code. The last sentence refers to this Mason shop. My mother is a Sherlock Holmes fan."“ Yes, yes? "“ Well, Apollo, don't be rude, "the woman in the car, wearing sunglasses and unable to see, yelled to the boy in the voice," let's go back to the hotel quickly. We'll go to your sister's game tomorrow to refuel! "“ But, "the little boy said anxiously," the code has not been completely solved. I don't know what's going to happen. "“ Apollo... "" madam, "Gao Cheng said suddenly," can you give this child some time? I'm afraid only Apollo has the key clue to this event. " Although women can't see it, they still turn their heads to face Gao Cheng: "are you?"
