Chapter 1278 Separate Actions

That adult.

The most powerful person in the organization, can also be called the boss of the organization.

Conan had asked Huihara Ai before, whether the leader of the organization was Gin.

Huihara Ai's answer was——

"How could it be Gin?"

"But I have never seen the boss of the organization, I just heard that there is such a person who controls the entire organization..."

"No one in the organization has ever mentioned his name, they all use "that adult" instead."

At this moment, hearing the rare title of "adult", Conan couldn't help but think that he might be in contact with "that adult" in the organization.

After all, if the boy in front of him is really related to "Michael", then it is indirectly related to the organization.

But on second thought, Conan felt that it was wrong.

If the boy in front of him was someone around "that adult", he would have been killed last night because of exposing his true identity.

And no matter how you look at it, this kid doesn't look like he is qualified to serve "that adult"...

Of course, unless this silly look is also a false appearance created to confuse himself.

While Conan was thinking about it, Qin Zhibo on the other side of the phone also heard something unusual about the call.

It was obviously Conan's number, but the one who was talking was Kuroba Kaito?

Kuroba Kaito didn't have his own phone with him, so he should have used Conan's phone.

However, with Conan's vigilance, he might have been eavesdropping nearby.

Qin Zhibo hesitated for a second and asked cautiously: "Is that kid next to you?"

"Yeah! Yeah!"

Kuroba Kaito was a little moved. Qin Zhibo actually guessed his predicament at once.

He continued: "I can't get away for the time being, so I can only put the mission aside for the time being..."

"There is no time for that."

Qin Zhibo interrupted Kuroba Kaito and said seriously: "I went to Bristol University last night and met the person who continued the research on the 'Great Halley's Comet' that year, named Ingels..."

"He calculated the orbits of the planets and came to a rough conclusion. There are at most ten days left before the return of the Great Halley's Comet."

"Ten, ten days?" Kuroba Kaito was shocked and repeated in disbelief.

Conan, who was eavesdropping on the side, frowned slightly and memorized the time in his mind.

Qin Zhibo on the other side continued: "Ingels said that it would take another night to calculate the final result, and asked me to contact him after 6 o'clock this morning."

"But when I called just now, I don't know why he didn't answer the phone."

"The accurate return time of Halley's Comet is very important to us. You should go to the Institute of Astronomy at the University of Brychester immediately."

"I have a bad feeling in my heart..."

Qin Zhibo's tone has always been very serious, precisely because when he called Ingels on time just now, no one answered the phone.

This situation is obviously abnormal.

Even if Ingels was too excited and forgot his agreement with himself for a while, he would have run around with the phone to tell others if he had come up with research results that would shock the world.

And now no one answered the phone, maybe something went wrong.

Because now it is not only himself who is keeping a close eye on the return time of Gehros, but also the zoo organization.

"Now?"

Kuroba Kaito glanced at Conan, who was lower than him. If he went to Blychester, this guy would definitely follow him.

Qin Zhibo also knew Kuroba Kaito's concerns, and said bluntly: "Don't worry about him."

"Now it's more important to do business. If he wants to follow, let him follow..."

"I have to notify the Hober Magic Group here, and there are other things in the afternoon, so I'll leave this matter to you."

After saying that, Qin Zhibo hung up the phone.

If time is not tight, he would also like to go to Blychester to investigate the situation in person.

But as he explained on the phone, he had to contact Judy Hober in the morning to carefully protect the gems, and the last moment was approaching.

In the afternoon, he also made an appointment with Mary to go "fishing" on Vauxhall Bridge.

If everything goes well, whether the "fish" is the real Akai Wuwu or a member of the organization, it may be possible to know some inside stories of the organization.

Especially in the face of the upcoming world-destroying crisis, what kind of action will the organization take?

After all, with Karasuma Renya's knowledge, Gehros's return should be within his expectations.

...

"Hello?"

"Hello?"

Kuroba Kaito on the other end of the phone wanted to say a few more words, but Qin Zhibo on the other end had already hung up the phone.

Hang up?

Kuroba Kaito was stunned for a second, and his brain was the first to react and delete the call record.

When Conan got his phone, the call record had disappeared.

Tsk...

Conan closed the phone cover unhappily, thinking about the information of the conversation between the two just now.

Because Kuroba Kaito covered the phone tightly, he only heard the voice of Kuroba Kaito.

But Kuroba Kaito revealed very little information, only heard keywords such as "mission" and "ten days".

It seems that he came to London to carry out a mission with a deadline of ten days...

But what mission is it?

Conan was thinking with his chin held high, and Kuroba Kaito had already walked out of the bathroom and started to put on his pants.

Seeing this, Conan quickly chased out of the toilet and asked, "Hey, what are you doing?"

"I'm going out..."

Kuroba Kaito didn't explain much. Anyway, the legs were on him, so he could go when he wanted.

When Conan heard this, he became a little anxious and asked quickly, "You don't want your passport anymore?"

"Keep it if you want... Kudo Shinichi."

Kuroba Kaito had a confident smile on his face, showing no fear of Conan's threat.

This made Conan panic a little, and he quickly glanced at Mouri Kogoro on the bed next to him.

Fortunately, Mouri Kogoro was a heavy sleeper and did not hear such crucial information.

Now that Kuroba Kaito is determined to get out, there are only two ways left for Conan.

Ichijo, gave up and continued to follow Kuroba Kaito and let him leave.

On the other hand, continue to follow him, but you can't solve the code incident in London yourself.

Damn it!

Conan shouted angrily in his heart, but chose the latter.

…

Snap, snap, snap.

Bang bang...

After a while, Xiaolan, wearing pink pajamas, opened the door sleepily.

She was stunned when she saw the fully dressed "Kudo Shinichi" and Conan standing at the door.

"Shinichi, and Conan?"

"What are you doing up so early?"

"Haha..." Conan laughed dryly and explained, "Brother Shinichi and I have a place to go..."

"Where are you going?" Mao Lilan asked puzzledly.

"go……"

Conan doesn't know where to go, because Kuroba Kaito hasn't told him the destination yet.

Seeing this, Kuroba Kaito next to him smiled and scratched his head, "Actually, this kid wants to visit my place of work. After all, he has always admired me~"

Conan: I adore you as a ghost!

"Ah?" Mao Lilan was surprised, "Xinyi, are you going back to work?"

"Wait a moment, let me go too. I happen to be a little curious about what you are up to, Shinichi..."

When he heard that Mao Lilan was about to follow, Conan quickly waved his hand, "No! Sister Xiaolan, brother Shinichi said girls can't come to that place!"

"Girls can't come? Why?"

"Because it's in a cemetery, it's very scary, there are dismembered corpses and the like..."

Conan knew Mao Lilan's weakness, so he deliberately intimidated her.

The result was as he expected. When Mao Lilan heard that the work place was in the cemetery, she shivered all over, and the slightly drooping "horn" on her head trembled.

Mao Lilan, who revealed a pair of beady eyes, murmured.

"Then I'd better not go..."

…

After coming out of the hotel, Kuroba Kaito called a special car through the hotel front desk and prepared to go straight to Brightchester.

In the car, Conan finally heard about Kuroba Kaito's destination.

Brightchester?

What is this place?

He quickly opened the mobile phone network and searched, and found out that Blychester was a small town northwest of London.

Apart from the world-famous University of Brightchester, there is nothing else worthy of praise.

What is this guy doing there?

Are you meeting up with your companions?

Although Kuroba Kaito called the other person "sir" on the phone just now, Conan still thought it was a smoke bomb.

However, the other party's name really makes it difficult for me to guess basic information such as the other party's gender and age.

While Conan was thinking, Kuroba Kaito sitting in the front seat suddenly spoke.

"Aren't you afraid that I am a bad person and will take you to that place to deal with you secretly?"

Conan glanced at Kuroba Kaito, who was looking sideways at him, with a somewhat calm and confident smile on his lips.

"You will not……"

"Besides, your passport is with the doctor. As long as I don't go back on time, the doctor can call the police."

Conan also showed his cards, and he had a backup plan.

Although the Mori father and daughter would think that Shinichi abducted Conan, Dr. Agasa was the one who knew the whole thing.

In addition, Conan felt from the bottom of his heart that the boy named Kuroba Kaito in front of him was not a bad person.

Conan had a familiar feeling about him.

This feeling does not come from the appearance and voice that are almost the same as Kudo Shinichi, but from somewhere else...

"Have we met somewhere before?"

Conan suddenly asked with deep meaning.

Kuroba Kaito turned his head, leaned back on the chair, and murmured.

"Oh, who knows..."

…

After another hour and a half, the Maori father and daughter and Dr. A Li finally got up.

After hearing from Mao Lilan that Conan had followed "Kudo Shinichi", Dr. Ali was shocked.

"ah!"

Mao Lilan, who originally didn't pay much attention to this situation, turned to look at him and asked, "What's wrong? Doctor?"

Dr. A Li asked with a slightly trembling voice: "Are you sure Conan is conscious and voluntary? Xiaolan..."

Mao Lilan nodded without knowing why, "Yes, Conan said that he was very interested in Shinichi's work and wanted to follow him to have a look..."

"Shinichi said that Conan can be sent back before dinner, so we don't have to worry."

At this time, Mouri Kogoro was tying his tie in front of the mirror and said in a rough voice: "Aren't those two boys originally related to each other?"

"So don't worry about them..."

Dr. Ali heard this and could only accept the situation silently.

Just like that, after the three of them had finished washing up in the room, they went to the hotel restaurant to eat the free breakfast and saw the latest news being broadcast on the restaurant TV.

Mouri Kogoro didn't pay attention at first, because the TV program was in English and he could hardly understand it.

However, both Dr. A Li and Mao Lilan, who are better at English, heard it, especially Dr. A Li. As a PhD in engineering, his English proficiency is not bad.

The doctor serves as a translator and narrates the news on TV to the Maori father and daughter.

"It says that clues have been found about the code notes that were rampant in London yesterday..."

"The police extracted the suspect's fingerprints from the note. The suspect's name is..."

"Hades Shabala..."

"This man is a serial murderer who is on the run and has committed many vicious murders before."

"The police are currently looking for this person with all their strength. We hope that citizens with relevant clues can contact..."

While chewing bread, Mouri Kogoro analyzed: "Then it seems those notes are not a prank."

"And since this person left his fingerprints on the note, it means that he is also ready to burn the boat and do something big in the end..."

When Mao Lilan heard this, an anxious expression appeared on his face, "Doesn't that mean there will be bloodshed in London soon?"

"Yes." Mouri Kogoro swirled the last piece of bread into his mouth and said seriously: "Unless we can decipher the meaning of the code on the note first."

"Let's go, there's not much time to waste..."

…

As soon as the three Maori people left the hotel, Mao Lilan immediately called Sera Masumi.

After all, the three foreigners still need the help of locals to decipher this code that obviously has regional characteristics.

When Sera Masumi arrived in the car and saw that there were only three people, Maori Lan, Mori Kogoro, and Dr. Agasa, he suddenly showed a surprised expression.

"Eh?"

"Where are Conan and Kudo Shinichi?"

Mao Lilan explained it truthfully.

After listening to Mao Lilan's explanation, there was a trace of regret in Serang Zhenchun's eyes.

Whether he is a magician or a candidate for a magician, they are all gone now...

Forget it, the secret code is more important right now.

Sera Masumi gathered her mood and quickly communicated with Maori and others about what was on the news this morning.

"Actually, I've heard of this Hades Shabala..."

"This man was originally an honest office worker. Later, because his mother was seriously ill and in urgent need of surgery fees, he began to borrow money from acquaintances and invested the money in stocks and gambling. As a result, he lost all his money."

"His mother died in the hospital in July last year, and Hades started committing crimes one after another almost a month later."

"Whether it was an acquaintance who forced him to repay his debts or a friend who advised him to invest in stocks, they were all killed one after another."

"In the end, he even bombed the hospital that refused to operate on his mother, causing a lot of casualties."

"He is truly the 'Hades'..."
