AWB Chapter 729 Queen?
Chapter 729 Queen?
Chapter 729 Queen?
The little Corgi suddenly remembered: "[So, when Xiaolan took me into the Sherlock Holmes Museum, the guard seemed to have said something like 'Corgis will be treated preferentially'.]"
"After all, Holmes was awarded the title of knight. As a member of the feudal aristocracy, he has the obligation to love the Queen." Holmes Martin shrugged: "Fuguier, you must be careful not to be favored by Her Majesty the Queen. If you are favored by Her Majesty, as Holmes, I will have to reluctantly give up my love for you."
Huh? Bear the pain? I'll be thankful if you don't take the initiative to send me to the Queen.
The little Corgi thought disdainfully, then looked at Maori Kogoro - this uncle must be reluctant to send the detective dog away, right? ...md What the hell am I proud of.
"Uncle." Martin turned his head and looked over: "If the Queen wants Fuguier, what price are you going to offer her?"
"Well, how could I..." Maori Kogoro subconsciously wanted to deny it, but it would have been better if he didn't think about it. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became: "This is a detective dog that can deduce and crack codes. Isn't it a bit of a waste to give it to the queen as a pet? It's not too much to ask for 30 or 50 million yen, right?"
Martin was still trying to persuade him: "Or, ask the Queen for a title? In the future, you will be the famous detective Maori Kogoro Baron~"
"Baron!" Kogoro Mori was already full of imagination.
The little Corgi sighed, lowered his head and covered his face with his front paws.
As they were talking, the Queen's carriage and the royal guards had already gone far away, and then the hotel manager drove over to pick them up to take them to the next location.
In the car, Martin received a call from Akemi Miyano.
"Martin, I'm afraid this is a serious matter. When we went to the London police station to report the incident, we found dozens of children holding the same note. It seems that this is not just a prank."
"It's okay. Thanks to the great detective, we are able to crack the code smoothly." Martin's reaction was very relaxed. He would be equally relaxed even if the code could not be cracked. "By the way, has the police station started working?"
If only one or two kids called the police, the police might think it was a prank, but if dozens of kids called the police, it would be ridiculous for the police to still think it was a prank.
"Moss, hack into the London Police Department's network and see how the investigation is going."
Maori Kogoro on the side: "Don't you have any legal means?"
It took Moss a few minutes to hack into the London Police Department's computer system and find out the progress of the police investigation.
Fingerprints of a man named 'Hades Sabara' were detected in the notes brought by the children. In a nutshell, he was a serial killer on the run who had planned many bombings and murders. If nothing unexpected happens, this man is going to cause another big explosion.
"You are worthy of being a great detective. I'd better change your name to 'Bushowski if you don't make a bomb.'" Martin complained to the little Corgi while showing Moss's information to others.
……
On the other side, Dr. Agasa and his colleagues who were responsible for calling the police arrived at the police station and found that they were not needed to call the police at all, and the group that cracked the code seemed to be doing very well, so they seemed to have nothing to do.
When Mao Lilan and Miyano Akemi were discussing what to do next, they saw an anxious young man waving a photo at the front desk of the police station: "This child is missing..."
The person in the photo was none other than Apollo Gervasi, who followed Martin and his team to crack the code.
"Is that... Apollo?" Mao Lilan asked subconsciously.
When the man heard the voice, he immediately let go of the police officer's collar and ran over in a panic: "Miss! Have you seen Apollo?"
After Xiaolan explained, she told the other party that Apollo and her companions went to crack the code. The young man was named Ares Ashurai, the coach of Apollo's sister, tennis player Minerva Glass. He was very anxious when he found out that Apollo was missing.
Xiaolan called Maori Kogoro and helped Ares get through to Apollo, which made Ares feel relieved. After that, Ares, grateful, heard that Xiaolan and the others didn't know what to do next, and invited them to watch the Wimbledon tennis match in the afternoon.
It just so happened that Apollo was too busy cracking the code to go to the game, and his sister Minaba's VIP audience seat was empty anyway, so it could be left to Mao Lilan and the others.
The Wimbledon Tennis Championships is one of the four Grand Slam events in the international tennis world. The number of live spectators is over 30, and the number of TV viewers is over 5 million. Today, when artificial hard courts are all over the world, Wimbledon still maintains its ancient traditions: quiet and beautiful natural environment, well-manicured flat green grass, wooden scoreboards and wooden stands, children wearing purple and green clothes picking up balls in the court, and fans tasting creamy fresh strawberries.
Minerva Glass has won the women's singles championship for four consecutive times, so she is called the "Queen of Grass" and is a very popular player.
"There are so many people...Huh? Ms. Diana?" Xiaolan suddenly saw a familiar figure.
Earlier, at the Poirot Cafe downstairs from the Mori family, the cat of Lady Diana appeared at the feet of Mori Kogoro, and Diana happened to be anxiously looking for the cat. Then she determined that Mori Kogoro was a detective and enthusiastically invited them to visit London.
"The rich man who funded and invited us to London?" Dr. Agasa looked over.
"Who? Who?" Miyano Akemi was also a little curious. It was rare to see such a generous person.
"It's that wealthy lady over there, among those people walking towards this side," said Mao Lilan.
"If we talk about wealth, those people are all wearing lots of jewelry. If we talk about the appearance of being plump...is it the one whose waist circumference is about the same as the doctor's?" asked Miyano Akemi.
There were nearly 20 people that Mao Lilan was talking about. Each of them looked very luxuriously dressed, and there were an equal number of bodyguards in black suits around them. It was obvious that this group of people were either rich or noble. Among them was an auntie with a plump face and waist, and a rosy complexion.
Of course, Dr. Agasa's weight loss has finally achieved some results recently, and his waistline has shrunk a lot. But it may also be that he was exhausted by the "worries" before?
Logically speaking, since the other party invited me and my group to visit London, I should go up and say hello since we met by chance. But looking at the group of people around Aunt Diana, I always feel that now is not the right time to go up and talk to her.
Besides, I had already made an appointment with Ms. Diana before coming to London. I will have dinner with her tonight, so there is no need to rush.
"Hey!" At this moment, a pair of hands reached out from behind Mao Lilan and covered her eyes: "Xiaolan, guess who I am?"
"Huh?" Miyano Akemi and Dr. Agasa, who were looking at Diana before, turned their heads when they heard the voice and saw a young girl standing behind Mouri Ran, covering her face with a baseball cap. However, judging from her voice and figure, she should be about the same age as Ran.
Haibara Ai looked up at the other person's face from a low altitude perspective and widened her eyes in surprise.
"Huh? Huh? Huh?" Xiaolan fell into confusion. She counted all her friends but couldn't figure out who could have suddenly appeared in London.
The first person who reacts to this financial situation is naturally Sonoko, but Xiaolan, who grew up with Sonoko, is more familiar with Sonoko's voice than her own, so there is no way she couldn't recognize it.
Who else? Who else? Could it be that Martin turned into a girl again?
"No way? You forgot about me so quickly!" After Xiaolan said "ah" for twenty seconds, the mysterious girl was obviously shocked. She let go of Xiaolan, took a step back, and pretended to be happy.
Xiaolan turned her head and the mysterious girl raised her head, her face revealed from under the brim of her hat, and she looked exactly like Ran Mouri.
"Mira! Ah, woman..."
"Okay, don't yell outside." Queen Mira suddenly appeared and stopped Xiaolan from adding the rest of the name. She closed one eye and squeezed: "It will be troublesome if others hear it and mistakenly think it is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth."
"Oh, okay..." Mao Lilan agreed a little slowly, and it took her a while to fully react. The new Queen of Vespania, who had just said goodbye to her a week ago, suddenly appeared at the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament in London.
"Mira, why are you in London?" Xiaolan asked directly, her expression gradually becoming "wakuwaku": "Is it to create a surprise for Martin to meet by chance?"
“Duck, duck, duck.” Queen Mira waved her hands helplessly, “If I do that, Ji Banban will nag me to death.”
By the way, is the name Ji Banban still in use?
"It's a state visit." Queen Mira scratched her head, not knowing whether she was upset or thinking about how to express this in Japanese: "Maybe you don't understand, in a monarchy, many things are like starting over after the new king ascends the throne, such as re-dispatching diplomatic ambassadors, submitting letters of credence, and establishing diplomatic relations."
That is to say, after Queen Mira took on the responsibility of supporting the family, she had to come and pay her respects to the big sister in the European circle. Only when the big sister nodded and acknowledged her would those Commonwealth member states that followed the UK respect her.
Vespania will be an agricultural country in the future, so trade and diplomacy are top priorities.
Of course, this kind of thing is just a formality. Nowadays, whether it is recognized or not is determined by the country's comprehensive national strength, not whether Queen Mira is well-educated and well-mannered.
"So, Mira, you are here to meet Her Majesty the Queen of England?" Xiaolan didn't understand those political issues, but she was a little nervous for Mira: "Did it go well?"
"Don't worry, Her Majesty Elizabeth seems to have a good relationship with my mother and is very kind to me." Princess Mira waved her hand: "It just so happens that I have learned more about the constitutional monarchy. Martin seems to hope that Vespania will also establish this system of government."
"Eh..." Xiaolan was a little confused. She remembered that constitutional monarchy didn't seem to be a good thing for the king.
But it's time to introduce the other people around me: "This is Dr. Agasa, and this is... Miss Huihara Akiya and her sister Huihara Ai. They and Martin-kun are currently living in Dr. Agasa's home."
"Oh——?" Seeing Miyano Akemi, Queen Mira's expression was obviously concerned. She walked forward and carefully observed this bright-eyed and white-toothed blonde beauty (dyed hair), then she put her hands on Miyano Akemi's shoulders: "This is incredible! This is incredible! Has Martin been living with such a beauty? Wouldn't that be very bad for me!"
"Oh, I'm not as good as you say." Miyano Akemi said shyly, holding her face.
Huiyuan Ai next to him complained: "Instead of being wary of my sister, I should be more wary of Martin's rabbit."
"Rabbit, rabbit?" Mira's eyes suddenly widened. Of course she knew Rabbit, but Haibara Ai said that she should be wary of Rabbit, so she would need to apply for Japanese-English translation.
Mao Lilan tried to change the subject and took a look at Queen Mira's current outfit, which was casual clothes and a baseball cap. "Mira, you are dressed like this, are you sneaking out of the mission again? Is it okay?"
After watching the game, should I be Mira's bodyguard? Mao Lilan thought about it.
"It's okay, this time is different!" Mira looked around and whispered in Mao Lilan's ear in a sneaky way: "I came here in disguise with Her Majesty Elizabeth."
The two queens, one old and one young, left their respective officials in a room for a talk, and they "slipped" out of Buckingham Palace and took a carriage to the tennis court to watch the game.
The Queen of England, in disguise, here? Xiaolan was immediately panicked and subconsciously wanted to repeat it loudly, but Mira, who had predicted her reaction, covered her mouth: "Shhh!"
"Her Majesty Elizabeth has plainclothes bodyguards around her." Mira signaled Xiaolan to stay calm, then winked and suggested: "Would you like to go with me to say hello to her? She is very friendly. We can take a photo together. It's okay as long as we don't upload it to the Internet."
Anyway, if the queen doesn’t wear gorgeous clothes or a crown, she will just be mistaken for an old lady who looks similar even if she takes a photo.
Hearing Mira's words, Xiaolan's heart was indeed moved: "Is it really okay?"
"It's okay. I also want to show off my good friend to her." Mira looked around again: "By the way, where is Martin? I really want to see what Sherlock Holmes looks like up close."
"Martin-kun isn't with us? He and my dad are having a case..."
Xiaolan's explanation only earned Mira a confused look: "He said he was also at the tennis court... So you two didn't come together?"
Ran Maori thought that Mira thought Martin was with them after seeing her, but in fact, Mira knew that Martin was here first, and then she was not surprised when she saw Xiaolan.
"Why is Martin-kun on the tennis court? Isn't he there to crack the code?"
Mira took out her cell phone, pulled up the emails between her and Martin and showed them to Xiaolan.
There is a selfie of Holmes Martin today. Judging from the background, it was taken at the airport this morning. The most recent one was ten minutes ago. Mira mentioned that she was going to watch the Wimbledon tennis match, but did not mention the Queen of England. Martin's reply was: {You are such an unfortunate girl. I am also looking for someone to play with here.}
"Unfortunate?" Xiaolan was puzzled. Wasn't it a very lucky coincidence that Mira and Martin's schedules could meet at Wimbledon? Why did Martin say it was unfortunate?
"They followed the secret code to find the criminal, but ended up here looking for someone." Huiyuan Ai revealed the answer in a cold tone: "This means that the criminal who is about to commit a major murder is in this stadium. His target is the audience here, right?"
