Chapter 730 Science and Technology Are the Primary Productive Force
It is very simple to verify Haibara Ai's guess. Just call the group that cracked the code and ask.
Xiaolan called Kogoro Mouri and learned that after they cracked the code, the final answer was "tennis", which means that everything went back to where Apollo received the note.
Then Martin used Moss to check the life of the prisoner named Hades for a profile and found that he was also an honest man. Until one year when his mother was seriously ill and had no money for treatment, Hades borrowed all the money he could but still fell short. So he took a gamble and invested the borrowed money in the tennis lottery. As a result, Minaba, who was supposed to be the favorite to win the championship that year, performed poorly in the final, so Hades lost all his money.
From then on, Hades embarked on the path of revenge against society, and since he chose the stadium as his target this time, Holmes Martin concluded that his criminal plan would focus on revenge against Minerba.
Initially, the three men and one dog just wanted to crack the code and hand the answer to the police and then leave it alone. However, because of Apollo, after determining that Minerva would be in danger, they notified the London police and came to the stadium again.
As for Mao Lilan, when she first received the invitation, she thought about not interfering with Martin and his team from cracking the code so she didn't tell them. Martin and his team, who didn't know that they had arrived at the stadium, naturally didn't think of reminding them that the stadium was dangerous.
It was not until Mao Lilan met Mira that both sides realized that the other was also on the court.
"Xiaolan! It's still unclear what that guy wants to do. In any case, there may be danger here at any time." Kogoro Mouri said very seriously on the phone.
"I see...but I may need to inform others."
"Then you better be careful and don't alarm the criminal." Kogoro Mouri warned and hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Mao Lilan looked at Mira, and Mira suggested: "Xiao Lan, and Martin's friends, come with me and Her Majesty Elizabeth. It will be safer with her bodyguards."
In the email Martin sent her, he only said that he was looking for someone in the tennis court. He didn't mention that there would be any danger here. It was obvious that he was very confident that he could resolve the crisis.
Now that she knew from Xiaolan that the situation was so dangerous, Mira decided to go back immediately and persuade the Queen of England, who was watching the game in casual clothes, to leave the venue.
Xiaolan looked back at Dr. Agasa and the Miyano sisters. The three of them did not show any objection, so she turned around and nodded gently: "Well, let's go... I want to go and remind a friend first."
Xiaolan suddenly remembered that Ms. Diana was here.
If possible, she wanted to raise her arms and ask all the audience to seek shelter, but she had no way to convince everyone, and she was also afraid of alarming the criminal and having him hurt the audience immediately.
I can only persuade those I know who are willing to believe in me.
Xiaolan found Diana in another VIP seat. Without wasting too much time, she just mentioned that this was the news from Mouri Kogoro. The fat lady, who believed that Mouri Kogoro was a detective, immediately nodded and persuaded her friends who came with her to leave quietly in a low-key manner.
Then Xiaolan rejected Diana's invitation and immediately followed Mira to see the Queen of England.
Unlike the VIP seats for Xiaolan and Diana, the Queen of England sat on a very ordinary step seat, wearing a clean dark green dress and a small round hat. If Mila hadn't walked straight towards her, Xiaolan would have thought she was an old woman from a wealthy family and would not have recognized her as the Queen of England.
Not to mention Xiaolan, none of the audience members sitting around the queen noticed that they were only one step away from the queen. You have to know that unlike the emperor who has completely become a mascot, the queen and the royal family are still very popular among the people.
However, as she followed Mira towards Queen Elizabeth, Mao Lilan felt several very sharp eyes sizing her up, even locking onto her. At first, she was nervous because she thought they were criminals, but then she realized that they were probably the Queen's bodyguards who were wary of her.
Mao Lilan looked around, but at first glance, she couldn't tell where the queen's bodyguard was among the crowd.
Except for the person on one side of the Queen, whose body was close to the Queen, who must be a bodyguard, Xiaolan didn't notice anything unusual from the rest of the audience.
The queen also saw Mira walking towards her, and the girl behind Mira who looked 90% like Mira. When the two of them got closer, she said with a smile, "Oh, sister, you didn't tell me you had a twin sister."
In the past, the royal families of various European countries were related by intermarriage, and even several brothers from the same family served as kings of several countries. Later, when the kings of non-subordinate countries met, they would call each other by their names if they were not on good terms, and call each other brothers if they were on good terms. This was to show equality, to have religion, and thirdly, to forcibly assume that everyone had the same ancestor even if no clear relationship was found.
"You are joking, Your Majesty." Mira said in a low voice. The 'Quince Princess' incident had long been known to the whole of Europe. The new Queen of Vespania arranged four identical substitute bodyguards for herself. How could this big sister in the European circle not know about it?
"This is my best friend, Xiaolan. Although I really want to introduce her to you, I have something more important to tell you now." Mira pulled Xiaolan to sit on the other side of the Queen of England and said seriously, "There may be danger on the field, please leave here first."
……
"With a clang, the queen drew her sword and said: I am the King of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the common King of Antigua, Barbuda, the Bahamas, Canada, Belize, Grenada, Jamaica, Saint Kitts, Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, the Grenadines, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Tuvalu. How can I abandon my subjects and go ahead alone? If there are thieves, tell them to come to me first! The emperor guards the country's gates and the king dies for the country. As long as the Royal Knights are here, they will always protect the people. We will not retreat a single step!"
"Okay, we're here to find the criminal, not to listen to you name the dishes." Kogoro Mouri muttered on the side. He had just finished a phone call with Xiaolan. When Martin heard Xiaolan say that she would go and notify other people before leaving, he immediately said these inexplicable words.
"Be careful not to get into trouble if you keep mentioning the Queen. Besides, there's no way the Queen would appear here."
"My sister is known as the Queen of the Grassland." Apollo on the side suddenly said.
"This guy is obviously talking about the Queen of England." Maori Kogoro rolled his eyes and explained to Apollo, then looked down at Minerva Gervasi who was playing in the field: "By the way, your sister's game was not going well."
Although Maori Kogoro didn't know much about tennis, he knew from the referee's repeated "Touch the net!" and the boos from the audience that Minaba failed to serve five out of ten times. "Serving is obviously my sister's strong point..." Apollo said frustratedly, "Did I disappoint my sister because I didn't cheer her on?"
"No, she is deliberately prolonging the game time." Holmes Martin on the side judged: "I think she has already known that danger has come to the field, and is delaying time while thinking of countermeasures."
"Delay time?" Kogoro Mouri and Apollo were both puzzled.
"The murderer is more arrogant than we thought." Holmes Martin also took out a pipe and put it in his mouth, but he didn't fill it with tobacco or light it. He just held it in his mouth and posed. "He has told your sister in some way, such as 'As long as you win, I will detonate the bomb', or 'As soon as the game is over, everyone will die', so your sister is delaying time while sending secret signals to the outside world for help."
"Another secret code?"
"It's where the ball lands. Every time she serves, it lands on one of the six spots in the corner of the court... By the way, this is really an exquisite serve technique that hits wherever you point. The spots are used to form Braille to convey information - H, E, L, P."
"Sister..." Apollo became even more worried.
"In short, she is trying her best to buy time, and what we have to do is to catch the criminal within this time." Martin said while filming the audience with his mobile phone.
“Now that you know, why don’t you go find him… instead of sitting here chatting and watching the game?” The little Corgi came over and whispered with resentment.
Because it would cause more trouble if people found out that the dog could talk, the little Corgi could only approach and speak in a low voice.
Because of its size, it could only move among the crowd using its short legs, looking laboriously and in vain at each spectator to see if they were suspicious.
And these three people were actually standing there chatting, and the only one working was his dog.
Kogoro Mouri looked a little embarrassed, and he immediately turned around and glared at every audience member with a fierce look. Just like the little Corgi, the only way he had was to glare fiercely.
However, according to the information, the criminal Hades is very good at disguise. Although it is only "makeup skills" and cannot reach the level of Kaito Kid's superb disguise, it is easy to not recognize him if you just compare him with photos.
Martin was still leisurely, taking pictures with his mobile phone: "Looking, looking...Oh, I found it."
His tone was so calm that Maori Kogoro and the little Corgi didn't realize it at first. It took them a few seconds to react: "You said you found it?" "Woof!?"
"Yeah." Martin operated his phone. "At first, I wanted to ask Moss to directly compare the criminal's photo with the audience, but he found nothing. So I had to ask Moss to hack into the UK household registration system and the customs entry and exit system, and compare the faces of all the audience with the UK household registration system and foreigners who entered the country in the past month. Luckily, after comparing one-third of the audience, I found a 'new face' that I couldn't find."
In other words, Wimbledon does not have a real-name system for ticket purchase or entry, otherwise it would be faster to just hack into the ticket purchase information for comparison.
While Moss had already sent the seating information of the 'unknown face' to the London police, Martin showed the enlarged photo of the 'unknown face' to Maori Kogoro and the little corgi who jumped eight feet high.
Kogoro Mouri looked at the picture on his mobile phone and compared it repeatedly with the photo of Hades that he had printed out long ago. At first glance, he didn't think it was the same person. After all, even Moss's recognition system was fooled.
But after careful observation, there is no contradiction in the face shapes of the two people, and the contours of the corners of the eyes are exactly the same. They are indeed the same person.
"【That's not right...】" Little Corgi felt that something was very wrong. It wasn't that there was a problem with the criminal that Martin found, but that there was a problem with Martin: "【I cracked the code, the information about Hades was investigated by the police, you used Moss to steal it, and it was Moss who found Hades - you didn't use your brain at all, it was obviously Holmes' brain!】"
"That's right. Sherlock Holmes is not a primitive man who doesn't use tools. Corgis are the primary productive force. Do you understand technology?" Martin twitched his eyelids: "Do you think that if the real Sherlock Holmes appeared in this era, he would leave useful tools unused just to show off his intelligence?"
“[…Hmm.]” The little first productive force was speechless.
"There's an Emmy Award-winning Sherlock Holmes animation called Sherlock in the 22nd Century. The cases are all from the original novel, but many of the settings use future technology. Would you like to take a look?" Martin asked again.
"【I can tell right away that this is an unoriginal animation." The little Corgi turned his head and said, "【I will use a critical eye to examine this animation carefully!"
"Heh." Maori Kogoro never thought of Martin as the real Sherlock Holmes, and he didn't care that he didn't use his brain: "You kid only rely on tools. A real detective like me has a wise mind that has been tempered a thousand times."
"Uncle." Martin said earnestly, "The biggest difference between humans and animals is that humans can make and use tools."
"What do you mean?" Maori Kogoro, who was nearly expelled from the Communist Party, glared at him with gritted teeth, ready to give him a series of eight throws at any time.
"Wait a minute." Little Keji stepped out to change the subject: "Martin, you have already sent the location of the criminal to the police, right?
After Martin nodded, Maori Kogoro became a little worried: "Can the London police do it? What if we alert the criminals?"
"Don't worry." Martin shrugged. "Before giving it to the police, I have already given the information to a mysterious helper."
It is already afternoon in England, and Subaru Okiya has already arrived in London, at Wimbledon, and on the tennis court.
All Martin had to do next was remind him that the Miyano sisters were also in the tennis court and that the criminal was likely to detonate a big bomb, and Okiya Subaru immediately understood what he should do.
