Rebirth of Conan as a Detective

Chapter 87: The Sherlock Holmes Fan Tour

"I like "Four Signatures" the most!" Conan discussed with the tour group members across Gao Cheng, raising his hands like a child.

"Ah, "The Four Signs" is indeed a masterpiece recognized all over the world, little brother, you know quite a lot."

"Little brother, do you know many words?"

"not bad."

The other team members are all Sherlock Holmes fans. Seeing that a child in Conan also likes Sherlock Holmes, they feel good about him. Seeing that the Maori who were with Conan have been silent, they asked curiously: "What about you? Which work do you prefer?"

"Ah? Me?" Mori Kogoro was stunned, rubbing the back of his head and said in embarrassment, "Well, I like "Murder on the Western Express"..."

"Ah? You should be talking about "Murder on the Orient Express", right? And the author of this work is Akatha Christine, and it is not the work of Mr. Conan Doyle that I admire..."

The atmosphere in the station wagon cooled down, and everyone who was talking and laughing at first looked at Uncle Mao Li in shock.

"I didn't expect that there were laymen in this regiment. It's really disappointing."

"These guys..." Uncle Mao Li's eyes twitched, and he turned his head away to talk to his daughter Xiaolan angrily.

"What about you?" A young man turned to the familiar Gao Cheng, "Aren't you the same as him?"

Gao Cheng shrank to the side, thinking that there would be nothing wrong with Mao Li blocking the gun, but when he heard this, his face froze, and he said with a dry smile: "Of course I also like Sherlock Holmes written by Mr. Conan Doyle, but this time I am not here as a Sherlock Holmes fan... "

"Really?" The young man lacked interest and didn't want to continue talking with Gao Cheng.

Gao Cheng smiled wryly and turned his head to look out the car window.

He likes the works in Sherlock Holmes, but he can’t talk about the content of the book like Conan, and he can’t even remember the name of each work. If this is the case for the 3-day trip Discussion is troublesome.

Why did he agree to join this tour group?

Of course, not only because of free travel, but also because the owner of the tour group is a friend of Aunt Jimmy, so it is not easy to refuse.

Under the night, the station wagon drove along the winding mountain road to this destination, a hotel located on a cliff.

It is not as luxurious as the Opera House, but it is not a small house, a three-story bungalow, and there is also a garage.

When Gao Cheng and his group came over, another station wagon brought many people over at the same time.

"Welcome everyone to Myknoff Hotel. I am Jin Gu, the innkeeper who planned this trip," the 51-year-old innkeeper, dressed as Sherlock Holmes, entertained everyone in the lobby with a smile. They are true Sherlock fans who have passed my strict screening..."

"Hmph! Is it really a strict screening? It seems that a few laymen have sneaked in. Some of them may not even be able to write Holmes' blessing!" A middle-aged man who was traveling with Gao Cheng snorted coldly and looked at Uncle Mao Li.

"Is there really such a person?" Another group of people didn't know the situation, and they looked surprised.

"Here, it's the man with the mustache, and the one beside him..."

"These two seem to be the two famous detectives recently, right? I've seen them several times on TV and in newspapers." A young man wearing glasses suddenly said.

"That's right," the innkeeper Kanaya said with a smile, "They are the now famous detective Mori Kogoro and Kido Takasei. In fact, Kido-kun is the grandson of a late teacher of mine, so I specially invited He came here as a special guest, haha, I didn't expect Maori detective to come here too."

As he spoke, Jingu turned to Gao Chengdao again: "Mr. Chenghu, please come all the way this time."

"It's nothing," Gao Cheng looked curiously, "were you my grandfather's student before?"

"yes,

Boss Jingu recalled, "It's been a long time ago. At that time, Jigme was still your grandfather's assistant, and I also met the teacher through Jigme... But time flies so fast, I remember I hugged you when you were young." You, I didn't expect that you are so old now, and you have become a famous detective comparable to Sherlock Holmes. The teacher should be very happy if he knows. "

"Eh? So it's like this..."

Gao Cheng was quite surprised, he didn't know about this, and no one had ever mentioned it to him before, no wonder Auntie Jimei treated him like a family member.

"Hmph," the man with glasses smiled and looked at Gao Chengdao, "He is indeed very smart, but he is not comparable to Sherlock Holmes at all. If it were me, he could easily solve those cases."

"That is to say, if there is a real competition, maybe even Dr. Watson next to Holmes won't be able to win." It was the girlfriend of the man with glasses who spoke. The man is the president of the research association, and he thinks that the cases on TV and newspapers are nothing special.

Boss Jingu was a little embarrassed. These two people really didn't give him face, so he quickly changed the subject: "In short, please spend the next three days well. Let me talk about the itinerary for these few days..."

Gao Cheng leaned down and asked Conan in a low voice: "Hey, am I really no match for Watson?"

He still knows about Watson. Conan Doyle's works are basically described from Watson's perspective. He is considered Sherlock Holmes' assistant, but it would be too much to say that he is not as good as Watson.

"Kiroto, of course you are better than Watson," Conan said with a smile, "but it's okay for Holmes, after all, the opponent is Holmes, there is no way."

Gao Cheng's face collapsed. Asking a Sherlock Holmes fan this kind of question is really asking for trouble, especially Conan, who is definitely the most loyal and fanatical Sherlock Holmes fan in this tour group.

But Sherlock Holmes is just a character in the book, in reality...

In Gao Cheng's mind, he recalled the weird dream that occurred when he got the detective system, Baker Street in London in the 19th century, and Sherlock Holmes... I don't know if it is true, but it did give him a lot of encouragement, the reason why he is particularly concerned about the case The details of the scene were discovered because of Sherlock Holmes.

There is also the deductive method. It can be said that his current detective thinking has been greatly influenced by Sherlock Holmes, so he should be a Sherlock Holmes fan, right?

After dinner, Boss Jingu emphasized to everyone again: "Everyone, it's getting late, please go back to your room and rest. We will have breakfast at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, lunch at one o'clock, and dinner at eight o'clock. After dinner is the highlight of the year." ——Extremely difficult reasoning questions and answers, whoever answers all the questions correctly can get this book..."

Under the expectant eyes of many Sherlock Holmes fans, Boss Jingu took an original English book with a smile: "That's right, it is the first edition of Sherlock Holmes's first publication and Conan Doyle's famous work - "A Study in the Scarlet Letter". Book!!"

"Wow!" All Sherlock Holmes fans couldn't move their eyes away, they all watched eagerly the first edition of the rare book displayed by the boss, only Gao Cheng and Mao Li's father and daughter didn't have much reaction.

"It's just a book, is it necessary?" Gao Cheng couldn't help muttering when he saw that everyone seemed to have seen a peerless treasure.

"What do you mean it's just a book?" Conan rolled his eyes. "For Sherlock Holmes fans, this is a treasure book that is hard to find. If it is auctioned outside, it will start at least 1 million..."

"Can I also participate in the reasoning quiz?" Gao Cheng turned to Boss Jingu with a serious face and asked.

"Of course you can," Boss Jingu said in surprise, "But Kido-san, before that, you have to fill out a quiz, which is about 1,000 questions about Sherlock Holmes..."

Gao Cheng was dumbfounded: "1000 questions?"

"Yes, the purpose is to let everyone prove how much I admire Sherlock Holmes." Boss Jingu nodded, and asked the waitress to distribute the test papers to everyone. "The deadline for submitting the papers is before dinner tomorrow, and only those with a total score of 990 or above are allowed." Participate in a reasoning quiz.

"For the sake of caution, please hand over your mobile phones and reference books to the waiter. We don't want anyone to cheat!"
