Chapter 750: Sherlock Holmes Apocalypse: Then Trick Conan

Mao Lilan showed a surprised expression: "There is only one letter S left. How did you do it?"

Conan tilted his head back and said with a smile, "It's very simple. The S is written with an oil pen, and the others are written with a water-soluble pen. In this way, as long as you pour water on it, the unnecessary letters will disappear, leaving only the key one.

Moreover, in order to prevent anyone from discovering this, the prisoner even used very thick paper so that the S written with a marker pen would not seep through to the back of the paper.

Yuya pinched his chin and said, "In this way, we have collected four letters."

Maori Kogoro nodded and pinched his chin to make the same gesture: "The S of Saint Bride's Church, the T of the egg-shaped Town Hall, the N of the pickle-style building, and the Big Ben representing the bell is A. The bell appears twice in the preview letter, which means that there are two A's."

"So, if we put these letters together..."

Conan said in a deep voice: "SATAN, the meaning of the devil."

Mao Lilan's expression suddenly changed: "Devil?!"

"No," Yuya raised his hand to interrupt them, "There are still two sentences in the notice, that is, two places we haven't visited yet. It's too early to assert that the answer to the code is SATAN."

"After all, the criminal has spent so much effort to set up this code, he will not leave an answer that has no clues at all."

"That's true." Mao Lilan patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. She almost thought that the murderer was hinting that he would send demons to kill people. If that was the case, who could stop him?

Miyano Shiho pondered, "The remaining two sentences are about a long-nosed wizard living in a castle and piercing a white back with two swords. What do these two sentences refer to?"

Yuya smiled and said, "I already have an idea about the long-nosed wizard. Long noses usually refer to elephants, and the English word for castle is Castle," he pointed to the map and said, "There is a place in London called Elephant & Castle. I think the letters of the code must be there."

Miyano Shiho frowned slightly: "But the castle is so big, where can I find it?"

Youya pondered for a moment, then said, "There are two places I can think of. One is the station, and the other is a big shopping mall there. Let's split up."

"Mio, Apollo and I will go to the station. Ran, you, Uncle Kogoro, and Conan will go to the big shopping mall."

He and Conan acted separately, so that if there were any clues related to Sherlock Holmes in either place, they could be discovered immediately.

"OK!"

So, the six people divided into two groups.

Yuya, Miyano Shiho and Apollo arrived at the station.

Apollo was a little excited to follow Holmes' apprentice. He kept observing the surroundings: "Let me see, where is the secret code hidden?"

Watching Apollo running around, You couldn't help but sigh: "Children are still full of energy."

Miyano Shiho rolled her eyes at him: "You make it sound like an old man."

Youya smiled and didn't explain further.

After a while, Apollo came back panting, grabbed Yuya's trouser leg and shouted, "Brother, I looked around here and didn't find any clues. Could it be over at the big mall?"

"Maybe, if they find out, or call me," Yuya responded casually.

His eyes followed a man who passed by them.

Since they arrived at the station, the man has been walking around the intersection carrying a handbag, looking like he's waiting for someone.

But if one is really waiting for someone, most people would keep checking the time, but he did not do that and there was no sign of anxiety on his face.

Thinking of this, Youya patted Apollo's head and said meaningfully: "Apollo, when looking for clues, in addition to using this stupid method, you must also be good at observing the surroundings with your eyes."

Apollo showed a thoughtful expression: "Do you have eyes to observe the surroundings?"

He knew that You wouldn't say this for no reason, he must be hinting at something.

So Apollo began to observe his surroundings carefully. It can be said that children nowadays are very smart, otherwise they would not have gone to find Sherlock Holmes on their own. He soon discovered the man with strange behavior.

Apollo pointed at the man and asked, "Big brother, look at that man. Isn't he weird? He keeps turning around over there."

Youye smiled and nodded: "It seems that you have discovered it, let's go and take a look."

The three of them came up to the man together.

"Hello..." Youye asked the man and found out that he was not waiting for anyone here.

Instead, someone paid him to walk back and forth around the station with the clothes on and the handbag.

Youya looked at the man and soon found a string of English words on the handbag: Identity.

"This should be A case of Identity, the case of the missing groom in Sherlock Holmes."

Youye frowned slightly. This person's clothes and handbag were provided by others. The clue of the secret code was on the handbag, so the answer should be on the clothes, right?

In this case, the line Holmes said about clothes was...

"When I look at a woman, I look at the cuffs first, and if it's a man, I look at the knees of the pants first."

Yuya set his eyes on the man's knees, looked around but didn't find anything.

The man felt a little uncomfortable being stared at and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Yuya suddenly said, "Excuse me, could you please roll up your trouser legs?"

The man was stunned for a moment and looked at Youya with a strange look, but still did as he was told.

As the trouser legs were rolled up, a capital letter U appeared inside the trousers.

"Found it." Apollo jumped excitedly, "It's U! We found the fifth letter!"

Yuya smiled and patted his head, then said to Miyano Shiho: "Call Xiaolan and tell them that we have found the answer and ask them to come to the station..."

He looked around and pointed to a dessert shop across the street and said, "Let's meet there."

When Conan and the other two received the call and rushed over, they saw Yuya and the other two sitting leisurely in the dessert shop enjoying delicious food.

"Hey, Yuya!" Maori Kogoro slammed the table in dissatisfaction, "We are working so hard over there, why do you guys have the right to drink tea and eat desserts leisurely here?"

"Hey, calm down, Uncle Kogoro," Youya waved his hands repeatedly, "Didn't I order for you too? You must be tired from running around the mall just now, right? Sit down and take a rest?"

"Anyway, there's only one code left. I believe it won't take long to figure it out."

Kogoro Mouri, his daughter and Conan looked at each other, snorted and sat down.

Yuya smiled slightly

The reason why he chose to come to the station to investigate was because the mall was too big and he would have to walk a long way even if he just walked around.

It's better to leave this kind of thing to the energetic kid, Conan.

Hahaha!
