Chapter 747: The Bragging Maori Kogoro
Because it was already very late, Yuya and Conan decided to go back to the hotel and continue the investigation the next day.
Now that we have solved the first code and have an idea, cracking the subsequent codes will be a piece of cake.
When the two arrived at the hotel, the banquet had not yet ended.
Kogoro Mori was standing in the middle of the banquet hall, demonstrating judo to everyone.
I saw a blond and burly foreign man rushing towards Kogoro Mori, but the latter was not panicked at all. He dodged the opponent's punch easily. His eyes focused instantly, and he grabbed the foreign man's wrist, got close to him, and threw the foreign man to the ground with a beautiful over-the-shoulder throw.
Maori Kogoro let out a breath in a very pretentious manner, straightened his collar, and then explained to everyone: "That's it, I threw the prisoner over my shoulder and sent him flying."
"Wow!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Diana clapped her hands excitedly and shouted, "Oh, Barton's Technique!"
"Patton Technique?" Maori Kogoro was stunned. Although he was not very good at English, it did not mean that he could not understand. "No, no, no, this is not Patton Technique, it's Judo! Judo!"
But Diana didn't listen to his explanation at all, and excitedly said, "This is the Barton Technique that Sherlock Holmes used to defeat Professor Moriarty. You are proficient in the Barton Technique, which means you are indeed a famous detective!"
Others nodded in agreement.
Kogoro Maori couldn't help sweating on his forehead. Although he was a little confused about the situation, it was obvious that the result was good. So he raised his arms and shouted in English: "Yes, I am a very strong detective!"
"OH! Hahahaha!" The others were amused by his funny appearance.
Yuya walked up to Miyano Shiho and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing? Why are you suddenly performing judo?"
Miyano Shiho restrained her smile and said, "Uncle Kogoro was just telling me about a case he solved. He said that the criminal was trying to escape but was subdued by him. Ms. Diana was very curious about how he subdued the criminal, so this is what happened." After saying that, she spread her hands helplessly.
Youye smiled and was about to say something when Ms. Diana came over and looked at him with shining eyes.
"Yuya boy, you are also a famous detective, do you also know the Barton technique?"
Youya was stunned for a moment, and replied with a smile: "No, no, I know karate, not Patton technique or judo."
"Karate?" Diana's eyes lit up. "Just now, Detective Maori showed us how he subdued the criminal. Can Yuya boy show us something too?"
Yuya instinctively wanted to refuse, but because of the other party's financial sponsor... mother?'s identity, it was difficult to refuse.
Besides, everyone around seemed enthusiastic and didn't look like they were just there to watch a show, so You nodded and agreed.
The person who was in charge of acting with Youya was still the blond foreign man.
He stood opposite Yuya and greeted him in a friendly manner in English: "Hello, please go easy on me."
I was still a little painful after being knocked down by Kogoro Mouri just now. Although this boy looks young, since he dares to use the title of a famous detective, he might be more powerful than the old man just now.
For the sake of his own life, he felt that it was okay to follow his heart.
"Hey, Sandy, are you not capable enough?!" someone among the onlookers shouted.
Sandy blushed: "Who said no!"
As he said this, he assumed a fighting stance and lunged towards Yuya with a roar.
You couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, there were too many flaws.
He dodged the opponent's fist by gently leaning sideways, then stretched out a foot and tripped the man to the ground.
"OH!" Everyone couldn't help but exclaim.
"Is this karate?" Diana widened her eyes in surprise.
Yuya touched his nose awkwardly, "Of course not, but his flaws are so big that we can deal with them without karate."
Diana was obviously not satisfied and insisted on seeing with her own eyes how Yuya subdued the prisoner with karate.
"Well, I think it's better not to..." Mao Lilan kindly reminded, "Yuya's karate... I guess there are not many opponents in the whole of Neon, right?"
"Really?!" Diana was extremely shocked. "Then I want to see it even more, please!"
Youye scratched his head and could only agree reluctantly. After all, it was Diana who gave them a free trip abroad.
So, next, Youya seriously demonstrated how to subdue the criminal with karate.
Diana was very satisfied.
But she was satisfied, while Sandy, who was acting with Yuya, was miserable. After the performance, she felt that there was no place on her body that didn't hurt - even though this was the result of Yuya exerting a lot of effort.
···
the next day.
The five people set out again to crack the code.
"I see," Kogoro Maori pinched his chin, "The roaring bell refers to Big Ben, but are there really buildings like eggs and pickles?"
Conan held up the map in his hand and said with some embarrassment: "I don't know just by looking at the map..."
Although he had been to London, he was not clear enough to know whether there were any egg-like buildings.
"Why don't we just ask someone?" Youya said casually. He looked around and saw a foreigner standing nearby. He walked over and asked politely in English, "Excuse me, is there any building in London that looks like an egg?"
The foreigner immediately replied: "Yes, it's the City Hall next to London Bridge."
"Really?" Youya raised an eyebrow, "What about that pickled cucumber-like building?"
"Pickled cucumbers?" The foreigner showed a thoughtful expression, and shook his head after a while, "Sorry, I'm not sure about this."
There was no other choice but to go to the City Hall first, find clues there, and then think about what to do next.
"It should be the same as yesterday, outside the city hall instead of inside, right?" Yuya looked at Conan.
Conan pinched his chin and groaned, "It should be. After all, there are too many rooms inside and they are too complicated to find. Since the other party dared to send a warning letter, they would not use such a low-level method to prevent others from finding the answer."
Maori Kogoro looked at the two people who were discussing something, and couldn't help but frowned and said, "I am talking to you two. Forget about Yuya, but why did you, a little brat, join in the fun?"
Conan groaned in a daze and laughed dryly: "No, I'm... I'm learning detective knowledge from Brother Yuya!"
"Right, Yuya-nii-san?"
Yuya's mouth twitched slightly: "Ah, right, right."
Conan's eyebrows jumped. Why did he feel like he was being ridiculed even though Yuya was clearly responding to him?
