Chapter 1277 Overheard

When Qin Zhibo walked out of the main entrance of the Brightchester Institute of Astronomy, he already had Ingalls' phone number.

He also agreed that after 6:00 tomorrow morning, he could call Ingalls to inquire about the final result.

Before that, Ingalls gave a rough estimate.

Since Gherros did not have detailed orbital data, Ingalls actually calculated and observed the orbital distortion data of Pluto, Neptune, and Uranus to calculate the time when Gherros arrived near the solar system.

The planets in the solar system will be affected by their gravity in order, followed by Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth...

This is like an alarm clock that is counting down in an orderly manner. When the earth's orbit begins to be affected, it means that Gehros has reached a position on earth that humans can directly observe with the help of astronomical telescopes.

"Within these ten days at most..."

"Even faster."

…

Sitting in the car on the way back, Qin Zhibo leaned on the backrest and thought over Ingalls' calculations in his mind.

The ten days Ingalls refers to are ten days in the real sense, not a recurring week.

If so, wouldn't this be the last moment of peace before the end?

Ingalls mentioned that when the earth's orbit begins to change, humans on the earth will inevitably be affected to varying degrees.

The world's climate and tides have been affected, and disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions have occurred in some areas.

At worst, the earth's magnetic field will reverse, power equipment will be paralyzed, communications will fail, and human civilization will be set back 200 years or more.

If it were more serious, it would be the real end of the world.

And all of this, humans are powerless to stop and can only endure silently.

Ingalls thinks this may be why his father called him the "harbinger of destruction."

Will it be the end of the world in ten days at most?

Thinking of this word now, Qin Zhibo still feels a sense of unreality when facing the 2012 doomsday prophecy.

Obviously nothing is happening on the earth currently, and there are no signs...

And if the arrival of Ghroth can directly destroy the earth, wouldn't the plans of the zoo organization and the black organization have failed?

At most, the entire human race will become extinct, which has nothing to do with the resurrection of Cthulhu and the Black Pharaoh.

Therefore, Qin Zhibo feels that direct doomsday theory may be Ingels's own fantasy.

After all, due to the influence of his father, he himself also has a crazy feeling for Gherros.

But since Gherroth will arrive in the near future, he must do his part.

…

On the other side, when Conan and his party came out of the hotel and returned to their hotel, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening.

Back in the room, Mouri Kogoro tugged on his tie and lay down on the soft and comfortable big bed.

"It's so exhausting!"

After this day of running around, and using his three-legged English to answer the questions from the British guys at the dinner, Mouri Kogoro now felt physically and mentally exhausted.

But there is no other way. The other party is a friend of the rich woman who sponsored the trip, so he must be greeted with a smile.

Otherwise, if the other party gets angry and refuses to provide free travel, it will be troublesome.

Next to him, Kuroba Kaito stretched his waist and asked Mao Lilan: "Who is that rich woman? Why did she invite so many unrelated people over for dinner?"

"And he's so interested in detectives that I also..."

Kuroba Kaito's words stopped abruptly.

Just because the rich woman likes detectives, as the stand-in for the famous detective Kudo Shinichi, he had to show off his achievements as a detective.

But of course Kuroba Kaito didn't understand this, so he could only retell several cases Conan told through the headphones plugged into his ears.

What about the rice banker murder case, the New York airliner murder case, etc.

It was obviously about a murder case, but the rich people listened with interest and kept shouting about another one, another one.

As a result, Kogoro Mouri's limelight was directly overshadowed by "Shinichi Kudo".

Mao Lilan opened the suitcase and packed her luggage while replying: "It's Ms. Diana's family and friends. In short, they all like detectives..."

"Isn't this great? Anyway, you have always liked to show off these things since the beginning..."

Kuroba Kaito: "Oh?"

Conan: Who's showing off?

Conan could only object to Xiaolan's prejudice against him in his heart.

But then I thought about it, "I" am so arrogant this time, are you sure it's okay?

You must know that "Kudo Shinichi" is a dead person, but this time it was revealed in public that "Kudo Shinichi" is still alive.

When attending the banquet, Conan did not expect that the rich woman would bring so many people. There were more than a dozen close relatives, as well as friends and partners of the rich woman.

When he wanted to stop Mao Lilan from introducing "Kudo Shinichi", it was too late.

Fortunately, these British people had never heard of the name "Kudo Shinichi" before, and they probably thought he was an unknown person and would not go out of their way to publicize it.

And now that Gin is dead, it is unlikely that the organization's minions will reach as far away as Britain.

So it’s still safe, right?

Conan is not 100% sure, but now that things have happened, he can only think like this now.

Otherwise, like Haihara Ai, just sleeping and dreaming in the middle of the night will scare yourself half to death.

…

As Ran Maori took out her pajamas from the suitcase, it also indicated that it was time to go to bed.

Diana arranged two double rooms, which were originally enough to accommodate the four people of Maori, Conan and Dr. Agasa.

But now "Kudo Shinichi" has also joined in, and the room situation is a bit tense.

And the hotel they are staying in is now full, with no vacant rooms.

Kuroba Kaito rolled his eyes and suggested: "Why don't I stay in the same room with Xiaolan..."

"No!"

Before he finished speaking, Maori Kogoro and Conan objected in unison.

On the contrary, Maori Ran, as the owner, did not object. She grabbed her pajamas with both hands, with a shy expression on her face.

"Absolutely not!"

Maori Kogoro reiterated his position, "Minors cannot sleep in the same room!"

"Boy, you sleep in the same room with me!"

"Xiaolan, the doctor and Conan sleep in the same room, it's decided!"

When Conan saw Maori Kogoro was going to sleep alone with Kuroba Kaito, what else could he do?

Maori Kogoro slept so soundly that he must have no idea that Kuroba Kaito sneaked away in the middle of the night.

Although his passport was still in his hand, the other party might have secretly contacted his teammates in the middle of the night.

And he had to witness that moment no matter what...

Thinking of this, Conan looked up at Maori Kogoro with a smile.

"Uncle Maori, Brother Shinichi, I'll share a room with you!"

Dr. Agasa on the opposite side looked at Conan in surprise, and knew how much Conan had sacrificed.

Because if Conan came to live in his room, he would probably squeeze in the same bed with the slim Xiaolan...

Mauri Kogoro glanced at Conan and nodded in agreement.

"But you have to sleep in the same bed with this kid, don't squeeze in my bed..."

"Yeah!"

...

After the rooms were assigned, everyone returned to their respective rooms to prepare for bed.

The result of this room assignment was exactly the same as Conan's idea.

He and Kuroba Kaito were in the same room, so he could monitor his every move, and at the same time, he could leave his passport with the doctor to ensure that it would not be stolen in the middle of the night.

But when everyone in the room fell asleep, Conan began to regret it.

Maori Kogoro: "Hu——"

Kuroba Kaito: "Hu——"

Maori Kogoro: "Hu——"

Kuroba Kaito: "Hu——"

…

The two people's snoring came one after another, echoing each other, hitting Conan's ears from left and right, singing a song called "Sleepless Tonight".

Conan had to clamp his ears tightly with a pillow and a back to relieve his eardrum temporarily.

This guy... Isn't he doing it on purpose?

Conan looked at Kuroba Kaito who slept in the same bed with him. He was not fat, but he could snore outrageously when he slept.

He could calm down a little by kicking him, but he started snoring again after a while.

Damn it!

I should have gone to sleep in Xiaolan's room earlier!

Conan endured the snoring of the two until the second half of the night, and his tightly closed eyelids gradually relaxed.

It was not until six o'clock the next morning that Kuroba Kaito opened his eyes first in the dim room.

He maintained his body posture, raised his head slightly on the pillow, and glanced at Conan next to him.

Conan's body was facing away from him, small and cute.

Kuroba Kaito smiled slightly, knowing that his plan had succeeded.

First, he knew that he would snore when he slept.

Secondly, when he was secretly investigating the style of the dress that Mao Lilan would wear to the banquet in Mao Li Detective Agency in the middle of the night, he heard Mao Li Kogoro snoring.

So he took the initiative to say that he wanted to sleep in the same room with Mao Lilan.

As a father, Mao Li Kogoro would definitely not agree and would watch him personally.

And Conan had to sleep in the same room with him in order to monitor him.

In this way, Conan had to endure the snoring of two people, and he could not escape no matter which bed he went to.

Under the disturbance of double snoring, it would be difficult to fall asleep in the first half of the night, and he could only fall asleep in the second half of the night, and would wake up very late.

In addition, the night before, Maori Kogoro said that he was tired all day and wanted to sleep in.

In this case, the morning is the safest time.

At this time, both Conan and Maori Kogoro must be in a deep sleep!

Kuroba Kaito raised his hand to open the back of his body, quietly slipped out of bed, and came to the chair next to him.

Conan's clothes, pants and other sundries were placed on the chair.

His ten fingers fiddled flexibly and began to search among the clothes.

However, there was no small book that he had been thinking about.

Was the passport really placed in another room?

Kuroba Kaito had long expected that this might be the case, so he was not discouraged.

He picked up the red flip phone next to the clothes and raised his mouth proudly.

Hehe, let me borrow your phone to make a call...

But when he opened the cover of the phone, he was dumbfounded.

What?

This kid also set a password for his phone?

Tch, forget it...

Kaito Kuroba thought that Kogoro Mori still had a cell phone, and he could use that phone to call Qin Zhibo.

But when he looked at Conan's phone, he thought of what Mao Lilan said yesterday, that Kudo Shinichi was a complete Sherlock Holmes fan.

Could this guy's phone password be...

The strong curiosity made Kuroba Kaito pick up the phone again and enter 4, 8, 6, and 9 on it.

However, the phone did not open.

What?

It's not!

Damn it! There is a lock that I can't open!

Kuroba Kaito's strange competitive spirit came up and began to try the passwords one by one.

Start with simple ones like 1234, 4321, and 1111. Anyway, most people's passwords are these.

At this moment, a childish voice sounded in the room.

"Don't try..."

"If you want to make a call, I can lend you the phone directly."

Kuroba Kaito's face was shocked, and he turned his head to look at the bed where he had just been. He saw Conan sitting up and looking at him with drooping eyelids.

"Uh..." Kuroba Kaito raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "Why did you wake up?"

Conan looked listless and his head was shaking slightly, "I didn't sleep at all..."

"If you want to use that phone, I can lend it to you."

"But the premise is that I have to listen next to you when you call..."

Conan knew that Kuroba Kaito would not be able to confess his accomplices.

But he could guess the purpose of their trip to the UK by eavesdropping on the phone.

Of course, the other party would definitely try their best to hide it.

"How about it? Is this deal fair?"

"I won't ask the answer from you, but I can find the answer by my own reasoning..."

Conan's words made Kuroba Kaito feel very interesting.

Indeed, instead of trying to avoid the sight of this little follower, it is better to contact him openly under his nose.

As long as this kid can't guess the real purpose of his trip.

"Deal..."

...

Just like that, the two came to the bathroom together, and Conan handed the unlocked phone to Kuroba Kaito.

In fact, since returning from the parallel world, Conan realized that his mobile phone password was too simple and changed it.

From 4869 to 4602.

The reason is also very simple, 4869 means Sherlock, and 4602 means Holmes.

Although the content of the password is still a tribute to the idol, as long as ordinary people try 4869 and find that it is wrong, they will no longer think that the password is related to the famous detective.

Kuroba Kaito took the phone and dialed Qin Zhibo's number.

Beep...

Beep...

After two busy tones, the call was picked up.

"Hello? Conan..."

Kuroba Kaito heard this "Conan" and quickly covered the bottom of the phone to prevent Conan, who was standing on tiptoe with his ears erect, from eavesdropping.

"It's me, big..."

"Sir."

Kuroba Kaito was about to say "uncle", but thought that this title was too revealing, so he changed it to adult.

And the short Conan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Adult?

Suddenly, Conan's face was shocked.

Could it be "that adult"?!
