Conan Rick's Investigator

"Excuse me, are you the Night Baron?"

Kudo Yusaku was stunned, looking at the happy British college students, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head.

Because I hear this name more often

The people from the number also gathered together immediately.

"Night Baron?"

"What? That bestselling author is here too!?"

"The Night Baron himself is here! He's about to sign an autograph!"

In a short while, Kudo Yusaku was surrounded, and even Yukiko beside him was squeezed out by the enthusiastic crowd.

Seeing that Kudo Yusaku was the center of attention among fans, while she was being squeezed out like a marginal person, Yukiko felt a little angry.

Hey, I'm also the "Baroness of the Night"!

But there was nothing that could be done. Yukiko had dressed differently today than usual, so even her future daughter-in-law couldn't recognize her, let alone these passers-by.

Faced with this situation, Yukiko could only stay where she was and wait for her husband to get away.

But the crowd behind was also rushing forward along the aisle at this time, and someone bumped into Yukiko's right arm from behind.

Yukiko turned around and saw a short-haired lady wearing a hat. The brim of the hat was pulled down so that her entire face could not be seen, but her delicate chin and bright red lips were impressive.

"I'm sorry..." the woman apologized.

"No, I'm the one who's embarrassed. I'll make way now."

Yukiko moved aside to let the woman in the hat pass.

But after the woman left, she reacted with surprise.

Eh?

This person seems to speak Japanese?

At the same time, Edward Gavigan, who was on the podium, was explaining the problem to the few people around him while keeping his eyes on the commotion above the stairs.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and saw Kudo Yusaku who was dealing with fans.

This made his breathing noticeably heavier.

Chapter 1288: Car Jumping Master

20 minutes later, Kudo Yusaku finally seized the opportunity, broke away from the enthusiastic fans, came to the corner of the corridor and met Yukiko.

"Finally out..."

"Yukiko, please leave here quickly. It looks like those students are going to call more people over."

Kudo Yusaku wiped the sweat from his forehead and talked to Yukiko.

Yukiko slowly took off her sunglasses, her eyes sulking with anger as she said unhappily, "You asked for it, didn't you?"

"You had a chance to come out 10 minutes ago, but those female college students wanted to take a photo with you, so you wasted more time, right?"

Kudo Yusaku looked at Yukiko's pouty face and smiled softly, "Ah, are you jealous?"

"No way!"

Yukiko scolded, put her sunglasses back on, and turned to walk towards the exit.

As the world's top living best-selling mystery writer, Kudo Yusaku often faces such situations, and Yukiko understands that.

But one time, Kudo Yusaku attended a cocktail party hosted by a publisher and went home with another woman's lipstick print on his face.

Yukiko could no longer tolerate this and ran back to Japan to seek comfort from her biological son.

Of course, the misunderstanding was resolved afterwards. It was after Kudo Yusaku was drunk by the publisher that those bastards took advantage of his drunkenness and kissed him without permission.

After that incident, Yukiko also made three rules with Kudo Yusaku: they could drink during social gatherings, but they must never get drunk and must "keep their chastity."

“Really…”

"I thought you were a pretty honest person. I'd quit the industry at such a young age. If I had known, I wouldn't have retired either. This would have given you a sense of crisis..."

Yukiko walked forward, muttering in grievance.

Yusaku Kudo looked at his wife's back, and there was a bit of pity in his eyes behind the lenses.

Yukiko's influence declined rapidly after she retired from the entertainment industry at the age of 20. In addition, it was only a little over a year since she became popular and retired from the entertainment industry. She left behind few works and has little fame abroad.

Therefore, Yukiko used various methods to increase her presence in front of the media, such as pretending that she could reason so that she could be worthy of being a world-class reasoner.

The title of "Baroness of the Night" was proposed to declare her own "righteousness".

If Yukiko had not chosen to retire from the entertainment industry back then, with her acting talent, she might have had the chance to win an Oscar for Best Actress now.

But if that were the case, Shinichi probably wouldn't have been born...

Kudo Yusaku understood that Yukiko had made a great sacrifice.

Although he is now a world-renowned writer and has achieved greater success than before, he must never let down the woman in front of him.

Kudo Yusaku thought to himself and was about to walk up to say a few gentle words to comfort her, but he saw a note stuck on the back of Yukiko's right elbow.

"Wait a minute, Yukiko..."

"Huh? Didn't you say you wanted to leave here quickly? Are you reluctant to leave now?"

Yukiko said something angrily, but Kudo Yusaku did not respond. Instead, he pulled the note directly from behind her elbow.

"Look, someone put this thing on you."

When Yukiko saw the note in Kudo Yusaku's hand, she was stunned for a moment.

The next second, she remembered that she bumped into a woman when she came out of the venue. It was probably at that time...

"What's written on it?" Yukiko asked.

"Let me see..." Kudo Yusaku looked at the small words and read: "Calm London's anger and let's drink Arrack together."

“That’s it?”

Yukiko found it a little unbelievable that the content of the note was so short and didn't sound like it had any specific meaning.

Kudo Yusaku frowned slightly and said calmly: "This is a code..."

"signal?"

"Yes..." Kudo Yusaku looked up at the end of the corridor, "But it's too late to explain now.

Let's get out of here first, and then I'll tell you."

Yukiko followed Kudo Yusaku's gaze and saw another large group of students about to arrive at the battlefield.

The two of them quickly left through the side door and came outside the school. Kudo Yusaku put on a cowboy hat and then explained the content of the code.

"The location on the code refers to the Port of London, India and Millwall, and the wine warehouse."

Yukiko looked a little confused, clearly still not following Kudo Yusaku's train of thought. "Wait a minute, how can you be so sure this is the Port of London? It can't be... somewhere else?"

Kudo Yusaku smiled slightly, "Of course I would conclude that, because this code is almost the same as the one from 10 years ago."

"To appease London's anger means the ship has sunk its anchor into the water, indicating that there are ships there."

"Plus, since London is mentioned, it must be the Port of London."

"The latter part wasn't there before, but it's easier to interpret..."

Kudo Yusaku's glasses gleamed with wisdom as he elegantly explained, "Arrack is a liquor primarily produced in Southeast Asia. There are three districts within the Port of London, and only 'India and Millwall' contains the names of Southeast Asian countries."

"Coupled with the mention of 'drinking', it suggests it was a liquor storage warehouse in the area."

Yukiko nodded thoughtfully, then asked, "So you mean someone wants us to meet at that place?"

"I'm afraid so."

"Who is it?"

"Um……"

Kudo Yusaku pondered for a moment, and a hint of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.

"A magician's ghost..."

……

Blichester Township.

University of Bristol, Reception Room, 540: PM.

Regarding the murder of Ingels, a researcher at the Astronomical Research Institute, the investigation had to be put on hold temporarily because the suspect, Elena Sera, could not be summoned in person for the time being.

Neither the British police nor the Japanese side can obtain Sera Elena's current information.

In the end, Kaito Kuroba and Conan could only draw a portrait of the criminal based on their dictation, and the police later planned to issue a wanted notice based on the portrait.

In addition to this case, Conan and Hakuba Detective are more concerned about the Hades incident in London.

While waiting for the latest clues from Xiaolan regarding the secret code investigation, Detective Baima has already called Scotland Yard.

In order to deal with this crisis, London has dispatched all police forces to carry out security deployment in large public places in central London and surrounding areas.

But even so, Hades' appearance has changed many times during the police's pursuit, and the old method of arresting people based on criminal portraits is difficult to work.

Moreover, there are many places where events are held at the same time, and many large public places cannot arrange temporary security checks due to many objective factors.

Hakuba Tan learned about the situation, but did not keep it to himself. Instead, he passed the information to Conan and Kuroba Kaito.

Kuroba Kaito didn't care about this situation. It was not the first time that the police had no way to deal with criminals, including him, the Kaito Kid.

He was just thinking about when he could get rid of Conan so that he could call Qin Zhibo to report the situation here.

I don't know how the uncle's progress has been this afternoon?

Just when the reception room was silent, the phone in Kuroba Kaito's pocket suddenly vibrated.

hum-

Conan quickly looked over, and Hakuba was a little slower and turned to look at Kuroba Kaito.

Kuroba Kaito had no choice but to take out his phone and answer it.

"Hello? Ran..."

"What? You've found the last two clues?"

After these words were spoken, Conan and Hakuba Tan immediately perked up.

Kuroba Kaito also knows how to fight

Turn on the hands-free mode so that the other two can also hear what is happening on the phone.

"Well, Masumi, Dad, the Doctor, and I went to Elephant and Castle Station again this afternoon and spotted a man with a briefcase."

"This man said he was hired to walk around the station constantly. Plus, there's an 'identity' sign on his suitcase, so we suspect Hades is the one who hired him."

"Masumi found the letter 'u' on the inside of the man's trouser knee..."

Conan and Hakuba, who were listening on the phone, heard the word "identity" and the word "case", and they thought of "a case of identity", the "Identity Case" in Sherlock Holmes, also known as the case of the missing groom.

In this article, Holmes formally proposed the idea of ​​observing a man's knees when meeting him for the first time.

But it's really not easy for this person called "Sera Masumi" to think of this...

"Later, we found an ornament with several bells with letters on them near the Meissen porcelain shop in the boutique flea market."

"You're still so pure. Based on the "astudyscarlet" above, I guess the clue is a red line, so it's the letter r..."

Conan and Hakuba frowned and raised their chins in sync, drawing mind maps in their minds.

Currently, all the letters suggested in the code are t, n, a, a, s, u, and r, which correspond to exactly 7 sentences of code.

Can these seven letters form a place?

Besides satan, what else can we form by adding u and r?

Suddenly, Hakuba Tan and Conan were both shocked and thought of another possibility.

"Saturn..."
