Chapter 1284 Encounter in the restaurant(2/2)
"So, in the afternoon I would pretend to be someone and hang out on Vauxhall Bridge..."
"If 'Akai Mutake' appears, and he is disguised as Bermod, he will definitely find a way to get close to me."
"But be careful that there are other companions around her, so the support will depend on you."
"I wonder how your shooting skills are, Mary?"
Facing Qin Zhibo's question, Mary's eyes showed a hint of doubt.
"Oh? Have you forgotten my marksmanship?"
"Don't forget, that year in Hawaii, even the military force was only tied with me..."
Qin Zhibo's face was stunned, but then he laughed awkwardly, "Ha... I have forgotten about such a long time ago..."
At this moment, the bell at the door of the restaurant rang again.
Dang rang, dang rang, dang...
This time the sound of the bell ringing was longer because four people came in at once.
The waiter took the initiative to greet these four people, still using the same basic conversation skills.
The leading girl smiled and showed two tiger teeth. Although she has short hair, she looks a bit cute.
"Four people~"
“No reservation required, you can sit anywhere~”
"Of course, it would be better if you could get as close to the window as possible!"
Behind her were all Asian faces. One of them was a beautiful girl with a signature horn on her head.
Behind him is an old man in a suit with a mustache and a bald old man with a big belly.
Seeing this group of people, Qin Zhibo's pupils quickly dilated.
How could it be them!
Mary, who was sitting opposite, was also attracted by the energetic and familiar voice. She turned around and looked slightly surprised.
So pure...
I saw that group of people, led by the waiter, sitting in the last row. It was only one table away from the window seat reserved for others. It was a good seat.
Seriang quickly thanked the waiter, "Thank you!"
After the waiter put the menu on the table, Serang handed the menu to Mao Lilan who was next to him.
"Haha~ Whatever you want, I'm treating you today!"
When Mouri Kogoro heard "Someone is treating me", his eyes immediately lit up and saliva secreted rapidly in his mouth.
"Ah?" When Mao Lilan heard this, she asked a little embarrassedly, "But wouldn't it cost Zhenchun a lot of money?"
"no problem, no problem!"
Seriang waved his hand, took out a black card from his pocket, and said with a smile: "My mother and I often come to this restaurant to eat, so we got a stored-value card here."
"There's still a lot of money in it, so you can eat it!"
Seeing her daughter's hospitable look, Mary understood why she suddenly couldn't find her prepaid card before going out today.
It turned out to be in the hands of this prodigal daughter.
Qin Zhibo also foresaw something when he looked at Mary's cold and terrifying eyes and the hidden black line on her forehead.
It looks like someone is going to be punished tonight...
Fortunately, these people were still some distance away from their dining table, and the beautiful scenery outside the bright window on the other side easily attracted attention, so they didn't notice themselves at the first time.
But in order to avoid being discovered, let’s disguise ourselves first...
Qin Zhibo put the human skin mask on his head with lightning speed.
When Mary came back to her senses, she found that the person opposite her had been replaced by a man with blond curly hair.
She was stunned for a moment. If she hadn't seen that her clothes had not been changed, it would have been easy to misunderstand him.
"You..." Mary looked suspicious.
Qin Zhibo stroked his fake face and said, "How about I show you the effect of the disguise? Is it realistic?"
"Well...well, it's indeed true."
Mary stared blankly at Qin Zhibo's fake face and nodded.
Qin Zhibo stretched out his hand and said: "By the way, lend me your sunglasses..."
…
On the other side, the waiter brought three more menus and distributed them to the remaining people.
The four of them took their respective menus and started ordering.
Since it was Shiliang's treat, Mao Lilan didn't want to show off his kindness to others, so he didn't refuse and just gave some token tokens.
Dr. A Li also ordered a little less, saying that he was told by Xiao Ai not to eat or drink too much before leaving.
Mouri Kogoro originally wanted the lion to open his mouth, but under the warning from his daughter's eyes, he could only restrain himself.
"What? That's all you order? You didn't even order this restaurant's signature dish..."
"It's better to look at me!"
Seriang ordered six items by himself, all of which were the restaurant's signature main dishes.
After all four people at the table had finished ordering, the waiter took the menu and left. Seriang quickly stopped his relaxed expression and said seriously: "So far, the secret code of Big Ben is the one we found on Westminster Bridge.
Drain cover engraved with the letter 'A'..."
"There are two lines symbolizing Big Ben in the code, which means the letter A will appear twice."
"Coupled with the N and T that were previously cracked, if this is a seven-letter word, we have already solved four of the letters."
"Now let's think about it, where are the places that contain the letters N and T, and two A's?"
After everyone explored the Big Ben just now, they successfully found the meaning of Big Ben.
This one is relatively easy to find.
There is an arrow on Westminster Bridge under Big Ben. According to the arrow's guidance, you can find that a drain on the bridge has no cover.
The edge of the drainage outlet is engraved with "The Valley of Fear", which is also one of Sherlock Holmes's famous stories, the Uncanny Valley.
Mao Lilan didn't need to ask Kudo Shinichi this time, because Sera casually searched nearby and found that the missing drain cover was tied with a rope and hung down into the Thames River.
The lid is engraved with A.
"A,A,N,T..."
Mouri Kogoro raised his chin, "How can you guess this? We are not familiar with London..."
Dr. A Li also nodded in agreement, "Yeah, I'm afraid it's hard to find the word for such a place, right?"
Seriang thought seriously and said after a few seconds: "I do know that there is a place in London called Pantile Road, and the word is pantile, but this place has only one a..."
Just when everyone was frowning, a figure walked to the table.
"Everyone, you seem to be stumped by a certain problem..."
