"Yes, raise your hand a little, aim, and then pull the trigger."

In the Hawaii training camp, Yusaku is practicing firearms with his two sons.

After two years of serialization, Fujimine Yuu has become a famous Japanese mystery adventure cartoonist, and almost every family has his fans. Yuji's fame even surpassed his father Kudo Yusaku.

This is also natural. After all, the audience of "Edogawa III" does not require a high lower limit. Almost as long as you can read, you can enjoy it. However, Kudo Yusaku's orthodox reasoning is a test for the logical thinking of ordinary people.

It was not until Shinichi entered junior high school that he knew that his younger brother was actually a famous cartoonist. Although he has always been resistant to the comic "Edogawa III", Shinichi did not hesitate to praise his younger brother for his achievements, and kept moving towards the goal of Sherlock Holmes.

"Little friend, this gun in your hand is a gun with great collection value!"

Firearms coach John looked at the Ruger P08 that Yuji was playing with.

The Kudo family has their own villa in Hawaii. This summer, Yusaku and his family lived here for more than a month. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. He also allowed the children to choose a pistol they liked to buy.

Shinichi was still not interested in weapons with high lethality, so he chose a Beretta M9 pistol, which cost only $542.

Yuji had always liked Ruger in his previous life, and he was not short of money, so he bought a Ruger P08 worth $5,830 from an auction house in Hawaii. The other party also gave him a bunch of bullets and a Nanbu XIV that no dog would want.

Before going home, Yuji decided to use up all the bullets given to him, and practice his shooting skills.

After the training, the two brothers suddenly unloaded the magazine at the same time, and then pulled the trigger at each other while saying "bang bang" in their mouths.

Sure enough, they are still two childish ghosts.

"Xiaoyou! Your phone is ringing!"

Standing outside the training ground, the mother held up Yuji's mobile phone high. For comic work, Yuji bought himself a flip phone for easy communication. He has his own game console and computer, and has no need to buy a touch-screen phone.

His parents also wanted to buy one for Shinichi for the sake of communication, but the boy refused. Shinichi thought he didn't need a phone for the time being, and he wanted to buy one with Xiaolan.

"Hello, this is Kudo Yuji, who is this?"

"Ah, Kudo-sensei, I'm Amuro Toru. May I ask if you still want to mail back the first draft of the comic this week?"

After turning the TV to Tokyo TV, Yuji watched the trailer of the animation "Edogawa III" being played, and he picked up the manuscript at hand and kept checking it.

"Ah, I'll go back tomorrow."

"I see, then I'll go to Agasa's house tomorrow afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Yuji went to Kudo Yusaku and told him his intention to leave.

"I'm sorry, father. I really don't want to settle down in the United States. Compared to Los Angeles, the house in Beika Town is more like home."

Yuji still doesn't have a good impression of places like the United States. It's okay for traveling, but forget about living for a long time. Another thing is that if he leaves, without a famous cartoonist there, Dr. Agasa will be lonely. It's definitely not for the coffee at Agasa's house!

"We are not going to immigrate, we just live in Japan for too long and want to come out for a change of mood. But my mother and I can understand your idea, you should live in Japan first."

After hugging his parents, Yuji took his luggage and boarded the plane home. Looking down through the plane window, Yuji put on an eye mask and began to catch up on sleep.

"Hey! Yuji is back!"

Shinichi didn't know that his brother had left until dinner. He stared at his parents and felt angry about their concealment.

"Then I have to go back too! A fool like him, living alone, doesn't know what a mess the house will be! I have to go back to see him!"

Yusaku took out a plane ticket from under the tablecloth and put it in front of his son. He had been prepared for it, and he had guessed that neither of his two sons would settle in Los Angeles with them.

"By the way, Yuji left something in your room."

Shinichi went upstairs and turned on the light. He saw a mobile phone and a sealed bag on his bed. The cell phones are all the latest American models, better than the ones Yuji uses himself.

Yuji actually bought a pink one, how can I use it in front of Xiaolan!

I opened the sealed bag, and inside was a magazine that Yuji secretly bought at an auction house for 20,000 US dollars a few days ago.

"Lippincott's Monthly, February 1890 edition! If I remember correctly, there should be that story in it!"

Shinichi took out the autopsy gloves from his pocket and put them on, his eyes shining like a pervert. He stroked the surface of the magazine and gently opened the book.

Sure enough, it was Conan Doyle's earliest published "The Sign of Four"!

In fact, "The Sign of Four" is the original name of "The Sign of Four". The previous name was only used once, that is, in this "Lippincott's Monthly" February 1890 edition.

It can be said that it is the earliest Sherlock Holmes story except "A Study in Scarlet" in "Beaton's Christmas Annual 1887"!

Kudo Shinichi swallowed his saliva. The dubbed version is always not as good as the original version. Although it is an English magazine, he must read it from beginning to end several times because of his love for Sherlock Holmes. I won't sleep tonight!

The next morning, he left his phone to Yukiko, and his backpack was filled with his new favorite, the magazine. The tired boy boarded the plane home with dark circles under his eyes.

"Teacher Kudo, the latest comics are very exciting! The boy adventure group traveled to 19th century London and fought against Jack the Ripper. But isn't this too whimsical?"

After Amuro Toru finished blacking out a manuscript, he began to rest. He brought two cups of coffee and placed them on the table, flipping through the old comics.

"Actually, it's not. It's still fake in the end. How can time travel be true?

The plot I conceived is that a descendant of Jack the Ripper killed a stealth game maker, but he didn't expect that the other party hid the clues to the murderer's true identity in the game.

He attacked the famous boy adventure group, making them mistakenly believe that they traveled through time to help him find information, and then destroyed it."

"Then these children will definitely be able to find the real murderer and bring him to justice, right?"

"Of course! By the way, Mr. Amuro, do you want to guess the puzzle left for readers? It is the warning that Jack the Ripper gave to the boy adventure group in the newspaper in the comics!"

Amuro Toru walked to Yuji's side, and a puzzle was written in slightly delicate words on the draft beside him:

We are a group of Knights of the Round Table, stupid people, listen, at 12 o'clock and 14 o'clock tomorrow, I will leave the fourteenth seat for you, just come!

"Is this the London Eye? So the victim in the comic hid the murderer's message in the fourteenth cabin of the London Eye in the real world, right? Why fourteen?"

…Because I just got a broken gun named Fourteen~
