The next day, early morning.

hotel.

Conan was awakened by a faint sound in the room. He subconsciously put on his non-prescription black technology glasses before slowly sitting up.

I saw Mao Lilan sitting on the bed next door, kneeling on the bed, folding clothes and other items one by one, and putting them into the suitcase.

"Sister Xiaolan, what are you doing so early?"

"Pack your luggage~"

Mao Lilan turned her head and said sheepishly: "Sorry, Conan, did I wake you up?"

"No, I just woke up..."

Conan shook his head and rubbed his forehead, then remembered that today was Sunday and it was time to go back to Japan.

The two-and-a-half-day trip to London is coming to an end...

For some reason, Conan felt an indescribable strange feeling in his heart when he thought that his trip to London was about to end.

On the one hand, he visited the Sherlock Holmes Shrine for the first time and fulfilled his childhood dream.

On the other hand, he felt that he still had unfinished business here.

First of all, the person "Kuroba Kaito" has never appeared again since he disappeared.

This man exchanged passports with himself. Although they looked the same and had the same passports, it was ultimately not good for him if he continued like this.

If that kid uses his passport to do something bad, his reputation will be ruined!

Secondly, regarding Michael, Conan always felt that this person was in London at this time.

Whether Mao Lilan and others ate at a London restaurant the day before yesterday, the blond man who took the initiative to give clues to the code or the companion of "Kuroba Kaito" they met was probably Michael.

It's a pity that now I don't have any clues about this person's whereabouts. No matter how much I stay to investigate, it's futile.

never mind……

It's better to go back as soon as possible and return the doctor to Haiyuan.

"Conan, please go and wake up the father and the doctor next door, can you?"

"good--"

Conan put on his slippers, slowly walked out of the room, and came to the door of the next room.

He knocked on the door several times and waited for another half minute before Kogoro Mouri yawned and came out to open the door.

"What's going on?"

"Sister Xiaolan said she would go back to Japan today, so she asked uncle and the doctor to get up early."

Mouri Kogoro yawned greatly, said "I know" listlessly, and closed the door again.

By the time all four of them had packed their luggage and washed up, it was already 7:00 am.

Mao Lilan planned how to spend the last few hours of her trip to London.

That is to go to the hotel restaurant for breakfast later, and then go shopping in some famous London commercial streets nearby.

Wait until 12:00 noon and then take the nearest flight to Japan at Heathrow Airport.

As soon as Mao Lilan announced the itinerary, Conan touched Dr. A Li's knee with his elbow.

Dr. A Li looked down at Conan and immediately understood what he meant.

"Well... Xiaolan, there is actually something I forgot to tell you."

"Conan's mother called me last night and said that one of Conan's relatives suddenly fell ill and asked Conan to go back and take a look early."

"So Conan and I waited for breakfast and took an earlier flight back to Japan..."

"What?" Mao Lilan looked surprised and asked worriedly: "What kind of relative is he? Is he seriously ill? How about we go back together?"

Hearing that Mao Lilan wanted to go back together, Dr. Ali quickly explained: "It's Yuki... a relative of the Bundai family. It's not a serious illness. He just wants me to take Conan back for a visit as soon as possible..."

Conan also echoed: "Sister Xiaolan, you and your uncle can stay in London for a few more hours. Dr. Ali and I are just taking an earlier flight back to Japan."

"And sister Xiaolan, haven't you bought any gifts for Sister Yuanzi and the others?"

Conan guessed Mao Lilan's little thoughts with just one word.

Since I have been busy solving the case these days, I don't even have time to do serious shopping.

The last few hours of shopping were specially set aside by Mao Lilan to buy gifts.

Of course, she would also take advantage of this time to persuade Mouri Kogoro to buy a gift for Fei Yingli to see if she could take the opportunity to change the situation of the couple's separation.

After Conan's reminder, Mao Lilan also remembered that she still had unfinished business in London.

I believe Yuanzi will not care about the gifts from friends.

But if Fei Yingli knew that Mouri Kogoro finally went to London and came back empty-handed, there might be another conflict.

"Okay...I understand."

Seeing that Mao Lilan agreed, Conan and Dr. Ali looked at each other with a hint of joy on their lips.

In fact, no one got sick at all, let alone went back to visit.

All of this is just a little trick Conan made in order to return as "Kuroba Kaito".

Whether it is the passport of "Kuroba Kaito" or "Kudo Shinichi", the identity on the passport must use the image of an adult.

This requires Conan to take a temporary antidote for the return journey and become an adult.

…

After the four of them finished breakfast in the hotel restaurant, Conan and Dr. A Li got into a taxi.

"Sister Xiaolan, goodbye~"

"See you in Japan!"

On the side of the road, Mao Lilan waved goodbye to Conan, "Conan, please pay attention to safety~"

"Don't worry, Dr. Ali is here!"

When the taxi started, Mao Lilan's figure gradually disappeared.

Dr. Agasa tilted his head and looked at Conan and asked, "Shinichi, where should we go next?"

"There are still several hours before the plane takes off. We can't stay in the airport hall forever, right?"

The return ticket for the Maori father and daughter was still provided by the rich British woman with "nearly 100 million yuan". It was a first-class ticket, so there was no way they would meet him sitting in economy class.

So this time when he goes back, Conan plans to take the same flight as the Maori father and daughter just like when he came here.

The main thing is excitement!

But this also means that they also need to find a place to spend these few hours.

"Then let's go to Baker Street first."

"That day, I was disturbed by that boy named 'Kuroba Kaito' and couldn't even visit the Sherlock Holmes Museum..."

…

Half an hour later, Conan and Dr. Ali came to Baker Street again.

The two did not go to the Sherlock Holmes Museum immediately, but found a public toilet first.

In the bathroom stall, Conan took a temporary antidote to APTX-4869.

Since the flight from London to Japan takes less than 24 hours, he needs to take the antidote in advance to consume some of the enlargement time of the antidote.

Under the influence of the antidote, Conan's head and back began to smoke in just one minute, and his heart was beating "dong-dong".

When Conan walked out of the toilet cubicle, the law of conservation of mass had been broken, and the original figure of an elementary school student turned into a handsome high school student.

"Okay, doctor..."

"Let's go shopping."

The two started shopping at the Sherlock Holmes Museum and visited the business district of Baker Street.

Along the way, it was rare for Conan to enjoy the game easily and without any psychological baggage.

Dr. Agasa also bought some souvenir trinkets from small shops along the way, planning to take them back to Japan to give to Haibara Ai and the three little ones.

This reminded Conan that he should bring a gift to Qin Zhibo before going back.

He originally didn't want to bring any souvenirs back, because once Mao Lilan discovered them, he wouldn't be able to explain the origin.

But Qin Zhibo is one of the people who knows his true identity after all. Even if Mao Lilan discovers the souvenirs he sent, he will help him smooth things over.

Moreover, in this case, thanks to Qin Zhibo's reasoning, Hades' conspiracy was discovered in time.

Once that bomb explodes, Xiaolan and others will...

I owe Qin Zhibo a lot.

At the suggestion of Dr. Agasa, Conan decided to buy a hardcover commemorative edition of "Sherlock Holmes" as a gift.
