"Although you should already know each other, let me introduce it to you."

Takada Shinichi said and looked at Mao Lilan:"This is Mao Lilan, my girlfriend."

"This is Mineba Glass, also my girlfriend."

After Takada Shinichi introduced Minerba, he looked at Gino and said:"This is also..."

"Gino Glass, Minerba's mother."

Before Shinichi Takada could continue, Gino spoke up first, but he was worried that Shinichi Takada would reveal the relationship between the two. She is Minerba's mother. If Mao Lilan knew about her relationship with Shinichi Takada, it would be How should she face it?

Apollo looked at a few people and didn't know what they were talking about, so he had to lower his head and eat. Although he had spent some time in Japan and knew a little Japanese, he was not very proficient in most of the words. He didn't even know, so he didn't understand very well the conversation between Takada Shinichi and the others.

"Hello, madam."

Mao Lilan said hello, but she was very surprised in her heart. She was surprised at Gino's tolerance. She didn't react at all when she knew that her daughter's boyfriend had another girlfriend.

Minerba said to Mao Lilan :"Xiaolan, I didn't expect that you are also Zhenyi's girlfriend. It must be God's arrangement that we met on Baker Street."

"I was also surprised."

Mao Lilan said and looked at Takada Shinichi.

Takada Shinichi didn't explain anything. When it was just him and Mao Lilan in private, he could just comfort Mao Lilan, so he asked aloud:"Xiaolan, why are you here? London? I think you didn't come alone. Who else is here?"

"Dad and Conan are here too."

Mao Lilan replied, and then explained the reason for coming to London.

"So that’s it, then you’re really lucky."

Takada Shinichi nodded after hearing this, and then said:"The reason why I came to London is related to Minerba. She came to participate in the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament, and the final is the day after tomorrow. After the finals, we will stay like this for another day or two and then go back to Japan."

Mao Lilan was a little curious about how Takada Shinichi met Mineba, but after thinking about it, she still didn't ask. She decided to wait until she was alone with Takada Shinichi to ask. It's inconvenient to ask now.

"By the way, Shinichi, something else happened after we arrived in London."

Mao Lilan suddenly thought of the poem, and immediately told Takada Shinichi about the matter, and then took out the photo of the poem.

"The roaring bells wake me up from my sleep; I am a long-nosed magician who lives in the castle; I fill my stomach with hard-boiled eggs as cold as corpses; I am satisfied with my last breath of melon; yes, I have to order in advance Cake to celebrate; the bells ringing again causing hatred in my heart; ending the way a pair of swords pierce the white back."

After reading the content of the poem, Takada Shinichi said:"This poem is indeed a bit weird."

Gino said:"When Apollo showed me this poem, I had some thoughts about the last line."

"Why?"

Mao Lilan was delighted when she heard this and said hurriedly:"Can you tell me?"

"of course. Gino smiled slightly and said:"This is the logo of a ceramics manufacturer. The phrase"two swords piercing the white back" refers to the business logo of two swords printed on the bottom of a white brand-name tableware. Of course, this is just speculation on my part, and the reason I thought of it is because I really like this brand of tableware and there is only one store here in London, so I was very impressed"

"But what does this have to do with a ceramics manufacturer?"Mao Lilan was very confused after hearing this.

"In fact, I had an idea for this poem when I saw the line 'The roaring bell woke me up from my sleep'."

Takada Shinichi did not answer Mao Lilan's doubts, but said to the three women:"The roaring bells, in the city of London, what do you think of first when it comes to bells?"

"Big Ben!"

Maolilan, Minerba and Gino said in unison

"Yes, this is the place."

Takada Zhen nodded and said:"If I guessed correctly, there should be information left by the gangster who issued this warning letter in this place. Usually gangsters who send warning letters are very confident in themselves and will leave The clues that pointed directly to the target were left to the police to pursue, while he hid behind the scenes and watched the police being busy but finding nothing, feeling secretly proud."

Takata Shinichi is very familiar with the mentality of this kind of suspect. Usually such people have some abilities, but they are not strong enough. In the end, they all seek their own death. After hearing this, Mao Lilan immediately said:"Then let's go there quickly. Let's look around"

"No hurries."

Takada Shinichi patted the back of Mao Lilan's hand and said:"It's totally time to go tomorrow morning. Even if you have to rush there, at least you have to have dinner first, don't you think?"

"I'm not worried about something happening."

Mao Lilan explained, but did not insist.

Takada Shinichi said with relief:"It is useless to worry now, and we have only solved the two sentences before and after. It is useless to go. At least we have to understand the meaning of the other five sentences. Just untie it. Only in this way, you don't have to run here and there, wasting more time. Mao

Lilan nodded slightly after hearing this, indicating that she understood.

Minerba asked aloud:"What do the five sentences in the middle mean?"

After looking at the poem on the photo, Shinichi Takada explained:"The first line refers to Big Ben, and the seventh line refers to the ceramic manufacturer's store. Both are buildings. I think we can combine the five elements with architecture." connect"

"If so."

Gino thought for a while and said:"The third line, 'Fill your stomach with hard-boiled eggs as cold as corpses' should refer to the egg-shaped building. Not surprisingly, it should be the City Hall next to Tower Bridge."

"If there is such a building, it should be pointed there."

Takada Shinichi nodded in agreement, and then asked the three girls:"By the way, do you know what the shape of a pickled cucumber looks like?

Mao Lilan said uncertainly:"It should be thin and long, but there shouldn't be such a building.""

"I think it should be pickled cucumbers, the kind that are long, thin and round."

Gino replied, and then suddenly said:"I remembered, there is a long, slender, round building near the city hall, it seems to be called...Gherkin, if I remember correctly."_
