Chapter 754: The Message from the Grassland Queen

What Minerba used on the court was Braille, which is the language used by the blind. Different letters are represented by dots in 2X3 vertical columns.

If the court is regarded as a rectangle, then the landing point of Miniba's serve is exactly in the form of 2X3.

And several letters have been repeated many times, and the message they convey is - HELP, help!

Yuya's eyes narrowed slightly. She was asking for help from someone who could understand this code.

Now he had no idea what was written on the note that the prisoner had sent to him in the wristband, and he couldn't just run over to pick it up and read it. Otherwise, no one knew what would happen if the prisoner saw it.

In this case, he could only tell Minerba that he was there to help her, and then let her pass on the message sent by the prisoner through Braille.

only···

Yuya was at a loss for a moment. How could he tell her without disrupting the game or attracting the criminal's attention?

At this moment, the audience, perhaps unable to bear Minerba's condition, stood up and cheered her on loudly.

Yuya's eyes flickered slightly when he saw this.

···

Meanwhile, Minerva, who was in the center of the field, had her heart beating wildly, and was under tremendous pressure without anyone knowing.

She sent out her distress signal through Braille again and again, but never received a response.

Didn't anyone see that?

Sure enough, there is no such person as Sherlock Holmes in this world, right? After all, he is just a character in a novel.

Even though she admired and loved Sherlock Holmes, she couldn't help feeling a little desperate when faced with this situation where she had no one to turn to for help.

Is there really no one who can help her?

She slowly raised the ball. Even though there was no hope, she couldn't give up easily.

Just as she was about to serve again, a young voice suddenly rang out throughout the arena.

"Minerba, come on! I'll help you. I'm Holmes's apprentice!"

Minerva froze in place for a moment, and the ball in her hand fell to the ground out of shock.

She turned her head and looked at a man wearing a tennis hat and holding a huge cheering sign with the words "Go Minerba" written on it in the aisle in the middle of the audience, and she was stunned.

Outside the stadium, Kogoro Maori and others looked at Yuya who was circled in the center of the camera, their eyes widened in surprise.

"Yuya-kun, what on earth is this guy trying to do? Won't this attract the criminal's attention?"

"No, Yuya must have his own reasons for doing this." Miyano Shiho crossed her arms and said confidently.

The audience nearby were also surprised by this situation, and when they saw Yuya dressed like a fan, they all smiled kindly.

As for the disciple of Sherlock Holmes he mentioned, perhaps as a fan of Minerva he knew that she liked Sherlock Holmes very much, so he wanted to cheer her up in this way?

The criminal hiding in the crowd also smiled contemptuously - he was just a high school student, but he dared to call himself a disciple of Sherlock Holmes in a place like London? It was ridiculous.

But Minerva in the field didn't think so.

She remembered that her brother told her about meeting an older brother after he came back last night. Although he was only a high school student, he had great reasoning ability. He was a disciple of Sherlock Holmes and a very powerful detective!

"Is it him?" Sweat flowed uncontrollably from Minerva's forehead. This young man looked exactly as her brother described.

He also said that he was a disciple of Sherlock Holmes and asked me to help him, emphasizing the word "help". Did he understand my code?

Finally someone showed up...

Minerva raised her lips slightly and shouted to Yuya, "Thank you very much for your encouragement!"

"Minerba, come on!" Seeing this, the other audience members who supported Minerba cheered loudly.

"Please be quiet!" The referee first thanked the audience for their support, and then signaled everyone to be quiet and not affect the game.

Minerva took a deep breath, squeezed the tennis ball in her hand, and her eyes instantly became sharp.

"Then I'll bet everything on you!"

The game continues.

Minerva took a deep breath, her eyes fixed on a place she had never reached before, and then she exerted her strength to send a side-spinning ball in that direction.

The opponent showed a surprised expression, and hurriedly rushed over and barely caught the ball, but because he was not prepared, the ball went out of bounds.

Minerva managed to pull one point back.

Hmm? Yuya narrowed his eyes. This was a completely different ball from the previous one. It seemed that Mineva had received the message he had conveyed to her.

The audience cheered for the score.

Outside the stadium, Mao Lilan shouted in surprise: "Great, Miss Minerva scored a point! But what's wrong with the opponent? It feels a bit strange."

Maori Kogoro analyzed in a serious manner: "Maybe it was because the ball just now was unexpected, so he was surprised."

Apollo, who knows a lot about tennis, was a little puzzled: "It's just an ordinary side spin ball..."

Conan, who deduced the Braille at about the same time as Yuya, smiled - it seemed that Yuya and Minerva had successfully connected.

Now it depends on what message Minerva will convey next.

Yuu naturally noticed this scene.

He was not surprised, because the landing point of Minerva's serve was completely different from the previous ones, and the Braille letter it represented was G.

Yuya nodded slightly. Since she had typed out letters that had never appeared before, the next thing she should do was to type out the information on the note she got from the criminal, right?

Minerva clapped the tennis ball in her hand again and again, and couldn't help but glance sideways at Yuya.

Apollo once said that you are a detective from Japan, but since you dare to call yourself a disciple of my favorite detective Sherlock Holmes, let me see if you really have this ability!

Open your eyes and look carefully. The next letter is the only Braille letter in the English alphabet that can be represented by just one dot.

Minerba threw the ball, raised the racket, and swung it down hard!

The tennis ball collided with the racket, making a crisp sound, and then the tennis ball touched the ground in an instant like a flash of lightning, scoring a point before the opponent had any time to touch it.

Yuya's eyes moved. Score by serving?

This should mean that this character has only one dot, which is accurately placed in the upper left corner. This letter is undoubtedly A.

What's next? What's next?

Youya stared at the center of the venue without blinking, for fear that he would miss out on crucial information.

Then, Minerva continued to use her serve to hit the ball in Braille, sending out the letters M and E.

Just when Youya was concentrating, Minerva seemed to have made a mistake and her first serve went out of bounds.
