Conan Rick's Investigator

Shiliang thought about it seriously, and after a few seconds, he said, "I do know there's a place in London called Tile Road. The word is pantile, but this place only has one a..."

Just when everyone was frowning, a figure walked to the table.

"Everyone, it seems like you're all stumped by a difficult problem..."

Chapter 1283: Master of Code Interpretation

Several people at the table looked away and saw a man standing in the aisle next to the table.

The man was dressed in black casual clothes, with blond hair hanging down by his ears, and a pair of light-colored sunglasses covering his face.

"Excuse me, who are you..." asked Ran Mouri with some confusion.

The blond man raised his lips, and the wrinkles on his face deepened a little. "Excuse me, I'm a guest sitting near you. I just heard that you seemed to be stumped by a question..."

"I happen to enjoy solving puzzles, so could you let me give it a try?"

Sitting nearby?

Sera looked warily at the tables around her, and saw a woman with short blond hair wearing a hat looking diagonally across the table, two tables away.

mother!

Sera opened her mouth slightly and looked surprised, but was quickly stopped by Mary's sharp eyes.

That look meant to keep quiet.

Seriang swallowed and had no choice but to close his mouth and pretend he didn't see it.

But since my mother is here and there is a set of cutlery across the table, it means that the man in front of me is...

Dad's friend?

Mao Lilan and Mao Li Kogoro looked at each other. Although they didn't understand why a person suddenly came to chat with them, the other person might be a local in London, and the probability of unlocking the code was higher.

Mao Lilan handed the photo of the code paper to the blond man at the table and explained the origin of the matter.

While listening to Mao Lilan's story, Qin Zhibo stared at the photos on his mobile phone and quickly figured out the ins and outs of the incident.

It turns out that Conan's death physique is really good, and he can still get into such trouble when he comes to London.

He concluded slowly, "So, now the only way to uncover the criminal's next crime location is to follow the instructions on the code and go to the corresponding location."

"Yes." Mao Lilan nodded seriously, "We have now solved four of the codes and three of the locations, and have obtained clues for the letters A, N, and T respectively."

"It's just that we don't understand the second and last parts of this code..."

Qin Zhibo stared at the code, and an investigation point appeared on it.

【Secret Word Survey√】

[Each line of the code represents a location, which can be considered from the perspective of function, name, shape, and icon]

The Secret Word Survey did not publish the answers directly this time. You still need to think for yourself to get the answer.

However, judging from the several locations Mao Lilan and the others solved, pickled cucumbers and boiled eggs all refer to the shape of the building, and the roaring bells refer to the function of the building.

Then all that's left is the name and icon.

[I am a long-nosed magician who lives in the castle]

The valuable images extracted from this code are the castle and the long-nosed magician.

If it's more precise, it's a castle and a long nose.

Because if the long nose had no meaning, the murderer could have just said "I'm a magician who lives in a castle."

When it comes to famous long noses, the first things that come to mind are the fairy tale character Pinocchio and the animal elephant.

Elephant and Castle…

Qin Zhibo opened the navigation device in his mind and searched for the keywords "elephant" and "castle" on the map.

A second later, the navigator's position jumped to a certain location in London.

The name of this place is "Elephant and Castle Station".

"It's Elephant and Castle Station..."

"The second hint should be the Elephant and Castle station in London."

Seriang on the side quickly took out his mobile phone to check, carefully compared the words on it, and realized that it was so reasonable.

Yup!

Affected by preconceptions, I thought that each of the murderer's passwords described the shape of the building.

But omitting the name of the place may also be a hint!

Sitting opposite

Although Kogoro Mouri and Dr. Agasa didn't know much about London, when they heard the name "Elephant and Castle Station", they felt it made sense and nodded involuntarily.

“Even if this is solved…”

Maori Kogoro tilted his head to look at the blond man. "What about the last line, 'Let's end it all, pierce the snow-white back with two swords'?"

"There can't be a place called 'Two Swords and a White Back' in London, right?"

Qin Zhibo chuckled and shook his head, "How could there be such a place?"

"But since you've already extracted the most valuable information from this code, you should be able to guess what it means, right?"

Maori Kogoro was stunned and asked in surprise, "What did you say? Two swords and a snow-white back?"

"Yes." Qin Zhibo nodded.

"In fact, the murderer's hint was very obvious. When people mention a snow-white back, the most common thing they think of is a beautiful woman's back..."

"But if the back was pierced by two swords, it wouldn't be snow-white, but bright red."

"So, the 'snow-white back' here doesn't refer to a person, but rather to a snow-white object..."

At this moment, the waiter came back and brought four teacups and a teapot to the four people at the table.

This is the drink Sera ordered just now. Although it was in a French restaurant, it was British black tea.

"Please enjoy your meal."

After the waiter left with the tray, Qin Zhibo pointed to the tray under the red teacup and said with a smile, "It seems that the heavens have sent us the answer..."

"Isn't this just two swords piercing through the snow-white back?"

Following the direction of Qin Zhibo's finger, several people saw Dr. A Li picking up the teacup and sipping.

On the tea cup tray in front of him, a pair of crossed blue Western swords were painted on the snow-white ceramic surface.

Everyone looked over and suddenly realized.

"I see!"

"Two swords indeed!"

"But..." Kogoro Mouri's face was filled with confusion. "What does this mean? It can't be that all places with this kind of tableware are the locations mentioned in the code, right?"

Shiliang's lips curled up confidently as he explained, "This logo has a great history. It's the logo of Meissen porcelain, Europe's top porcelain."

"Meissen porcelain is a porcelain imitation of Chinese porcelain. It was very popular among European royal families at the time, and it is still an extremely expensive high-end porcelain today."

"I know Meissen Porcelain has a boutique on London's boutique flea market. That should be the place."

The three Maori nodded, "I see..."

Qin Zhibo saw that all the codes had been solved, and the only thing left was for them to go to the location to check in person, and it was time for him to retire.

"It seems the code has been solved. Good luck to you..."

After saying that, Qin Zhibo turned around and left, returning to the seat opposite Mary.

Before Mao Lilan had time to say thank you, when she looked back, she could only see Qin Zhibo's back.

At this time, it would be rude to go out of my way to say thank you and interrupt the date between the two of them.

Mao Lilan could only turn back and sigh: "What a pity, I didn't even have time to say thank you..."

"But I feel like I've seen that man somewhere before."

At this moment, the waiter brought two main dishes, and the delicious dishes instantly attracted the attention of several people at the table.

……

Here, Qin Zhibo sat down again, and his and Mary's dishes were also served.

"How's it going? Have you solved the code?"

"Well... I'll give you my sunglasses back."

Qin Zhibo took off his sunglasses and gave them back to Mary.

His Michael face had been painted by someone in the underground parking lot of Mihua before, so in order to avoid being recognized, he borrowed Mary's sunglasses.

Used to cover up.

However, this is Europe, and my face does not feel out of place. In addition, it is far away from Japan, so the Maori father and daughter are not very vigilant in this regard.

Mary picked up a piece of ray with a fork, put it into her lips covered with dark red lipstick, and chewed it gently.

She was eating and thinking in her head.

After I got the secret code from Sera Masumi yesterday, although it took me a few minutes to guess more than half of it, I was still puzzled by the rest.

Unexpectedly, he only went there for such a short time and solved the rest of the code.

It seems that we have been apart for three days, so we should look at each other with admiration...

"Then I'll cover you from a distance this afternoon."

"I got some equipment from MI6 overnight that should be useful."

"After dinner, let's go back to the hotel room and take a look..."

"it is good."

Qin Zhibo nodded in response.

……

Twenty minutes later, Qin Zhibo finished his meal for the second time.

"Yes."

Mary reached out and handed over a tissue. Qin Zhibo took it and wiped his mouth, then he and Mary got up and left the restaurant.

Before leaving the house, Seriang cast a questioning look.

Mom, where are you going?

Mary returned the look.

Don't ask children about adult matters.

In this way, Qin Zhibo and Mary walked out of the restaurant and returned to the hotel next to Vauxhall Bridge.

In the hotel room, Mary took out a long and thick box from the wardrobe and opened the lid. Inside was a dark green sniper.

AP sniper rifle...

Is this the equipment Mary was talking about?

Qin Zhibo looked at the familiar gun body and immediately knew the model of the gun without using [item investigation].

After all, this is the most famous sniper rifle in FPS games.

"I'll use this gun to cover you this afternoon..."

Mary took the AP out of the box and said as she checked the condition of the gun, "But I can't keep the sniper rifle on the window all the time. It might attract the attention of passersby."

"So we need to keep in touch. If you notice anyone suspicious approaching you, you can use the wireless microphone to tell me."

Mary took out a pair of wireless headphones from the gun case and handed one pair to Qin Zhibo.

"I'll use this gun to incapacitate the target, and then you'll quickly get the target off the bridge."

"Fortunately, Vauxhall Bridge isn't a famous tourist attraction, so there aren't usually many people on the bridge. It shouldn't cause too much unrest..."
