[Conan] I just want to be a magician quietly

Apollo Glass was soon picked up by his sister's coach. Before leaving, he looked at the three Kudo Shinichis who couldn't tell who was who, hesitated for a second, and then exchanged contact information with Xiaolan.

"Big sister, if the detective brothers... have any discoveries, please contact me as soon as possible, okay?"

"Okay."

After watching Apollo leave, Xiaolan looked back at the three Kudo Shinichis who were obsessed with solving the mystery, sighed, and skillfully went to the roadside to call a taxi.

"Without any clues, solving the mystery will definitely not be that fast. In short, it's always right to go to Scotland Yard first."

However, when Xiaolan brought the three Kudo Shinichis to Scotland Yard to report the case, the police station was already crowded with children who came to report the case and their parents.

Like Apollo, every child received a note from a strange man wearing a hat.

"Wait."

Xiaolan's face became solemn in an instant.

"If I remember correctly, Apollo heard the man say that someone will be murdered in a corner of London, right in front of you.

If these children all received the same message, that means that strange man is planning a large-scale indiscriminate murder?!"

Kudo Shinichi:!

His brain began to work frantically.

"It's not certain where the other party is going to do it, but let's go to places where people gather first, maybe there will be some clues.

For example, places like Wimbledon Stadium, Buckingham Palace and the British Museum."

Kuroba Kaito, who was slightly behind Xiaolan and Shinichi, secretly pulled Wakaki Ryo's sleeve and asked silently with lip language, "Are you sure no one will die?"

Wakaki Ryo gave the little pigeon a smiling expression.

Kuroba Kaito, who got part of the script but didn't know the whole plan: ? ? ?

No, your expression makes me panic!

On the other side, Kudo Shinichi had lowered his head and began to study the puzzle he got from Apollo.

[The roaring bells woke me up from my sleep]

[I am a long-nosed magician living in a castle]

[Fill my stomach with boiled eggs as cold as corpses]

[I am satisfied with swallowing pickled cucumbers in one last breath]

[By the way, remember to order a cake to celebrate]

[The bells rang again, causing my inner hatred]

[End everything, pierce the white back with two swords]

"The roaring bells, could this sentence refer to the alarm clock we often use?"

Kudo Shinichi's mind was a little confused. On the one hand, he wanted to solve the puzzle left by the criminal before the two fakes, and on the other hand, he was worried that London would really stage an indiscriminate massacre.

Wakagi Ryo put his hands in his pockets and imitated Kudo Shinichi's little habit to the extreme.

"No, I don't think it's likely. The sound of an alarm clock is generally not described as roaring."

Kuroba Kaito followed suit and began to reason.

"Indeed, and in London, when it comes to bells..."

Ran's eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of the major tourist check-in spots recorded in her booklet.

"Could it be Big Ben?"

Kuroba Kaito nodded, "Yes, Ran, let's go to the nearest bookstore to buy a map first. Perhaps a complete map of London can provide some inspiration."

After that, he reached out and pulled Ran's arm, and took her to the street.

Ran looked confused, but habitually followed and ran. After running two steps, she realized that there was not only one Kudo Shinichi at the scene, and it was not clear whether the one holding her was real or fake.

The real Kudo stared at Kuroba Kaito's hand, and his sharp eyes almost burned a hole in the little pigeon's arm.

But the other party made sense. At least at this stage, they really needed a complete and detailed map of London.

Kudo Shinichi could only walk forward angrily, tearing away Kuroba Kaito's hand, and warned in a low voice: "Stay away from Xiaolan!"

However, he could only take care of one side and not the other.

While the two were in a stalemate, Wakagi Ryo successfully hijacked the still confused Maoli Ran halfway.

Kudo Shinichi: ...

Damn, there is no way to concentrate on thinking, these two bastards!

----------

In the evening, the four people who had not gained much for the time being stood near 221B Baker Street again, looking at the huge bronze statue of Sherlock Holmes on the street.

Kudo Shinichi himself personally went into battle and ran the map for a day, but he did not make much progress. A large part of the reason was that Wakagi Ryo and Kuroba Kaito were intentionally or unintentionally interfering with Kudo's thinking.

Wakagi Ryo naturallyIt was to see Kudo Shinichi's frustrated expression of being unable to get rid of him, and to refresh his mood.

Kuroba Kaito trusted the professor. Since the professor said that nothing serious would happen, he must seize the only rest time of the office worker to have fun.

"Have a drink."

Kuroba Kaito handed Xiaolan a bottle of mineral water.

"Thank you."

Wakagi Ryo took out his mobile phone and checked the time.

"Xiaolan, it's time to meet up with Uncle Maori at the hotel. You and Uncle Maori are going to attend Ms. Diana's dinner at 8 o'clock in the evening, right?"

Xiaolan was stunned.

As soon as she got off the plane, she encountered the Kudo Shinichi copy-paste incident, and then learned from Apollo that a madman was suspected of making a big move in London, and then followed the three Kudos to run around for clues for an afternoon.

She almost forgot about the dinner.

"Then Shinichi... um, what about you guys?"

"I'll continue to try to solve the puzzle on this piece of paper."

The real Kudo opened his mouth, but everything he could say had been said by the other two, so he could only go to the roadside in silence and stop a taxi.

"Shinichi."

Xiaolan reached out and grabbed Kudo Shinichi's hand, "You are the real Shinichi, right?"

Kudo Shinichi's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Xiaolan's hand with his backhand, "That's right! I am the real Kudo Shinichi... ahem, Kudo Shinichi. It's great that Xiaolan, you were not fooled by those two fakes!"

After saying that, he raised his head and was about to mock the other two who dared to pretend to be him, but suddenly found that the two people had disappeared without a trace.

Kudo Shinichi:...

You two ran fast!

"One of those two people should be Kaito Kidd. When I was reading the news at the airport, I saw that someone in London seemed to have challenged Kaito Kidd, so it was reasonable for him to come here.

I just don't know why the other party pretended to be you."

Kudo Shinichi's mouth twitched. He actually guessed that one of them was Kaito Kidd.

As for the other one, thinking of someone who pretended to be Wakagi Ryo on the Suzuki family's airship and played a trick on him before, Kudo Shinichi secretly gritted his teeth.

The other one must be Kidd's assistant, right!

Last time you pretended to be Wakagi, this time you pretended to be me in front of me. Wait, wait until the matter in London is resolved, sooner or later I will peel off your disguise!

Because of the mask on her face, Xiaolan could not see such complicated emotions from the other party's eyebrows.

"We can ignore Kaito Kidd for now. Compared to him, the strange man lurking in the dark should be dealt with first. By the way, Xiaolan, how did you tell that I was the real one?"

"How could I not recognize Shinichi, who grew up with me?"

I don't know if it was because of the light, but at this moment, Kudo Shinichi felt that Xiaolan's expression was a little strange. She was smiling, but it seemed that sadness could not be stopped.

At this moment, the taxi horn sounded, interrupting Kudo Shinichi's thoughts at the moment.

Mao Lilan turned around and got in the car. Through the car window, she smiled and watched Kudo Shinichi's figure gradually disappear, and then slowly clenched the mineral water bottle in her hand.

"Because the real Shinichi, when reasoning, can't think of me."
