Not long after, Shinichi Takada and others took a taxi to Big Ben.

Mao Lilan said:"Shenyi, what should we do next?"

"Of course we have to look for clues."

Before Takada Shinichi could answer, Mouri Kogoro immediately spoke up.

"How to find clues?"

Of course Mao Lilan knows how to look for clues, but the problem is that she doesn't know where to start.

"Since the gangster took the initiative to send a letter similar to a warning letter and wanted to watch the police in the dark while they were busy but couldn't find it, he would definitely leave clues, which would not be conspicuous, but would not put the clues in the dark. Places that people cannot discover."

Takada Shinichi made a judgment and then said:"So, we should look for clues that are not obvious in remote places."

The next group of people divided into several teams and started searching near Big Ben.

About ten minutes later, Takada Shinichi and others gathered together and shared their findings, but there was nothing special about them. Only Apollo was in Big Ben. A white arrow number was found on the ground in front of the bell gate, which was a little bit special.

The group came to the place where the arrow number was.

Mao Lilan looked at it and said:"What does this arrow number mean? Gino guessed:"The arrow points to the bridge connecting to Big Ben. Could it be that you want us to look there?""

"It should be like this, let's go and take a look."

Mouri Kogoro said aloud, walking at the front.

"Everyone pay attention along the way to see if there is anything unusual."

Everyone walked towards the bridge, and Shinichi Takada reminded him.

After a while, on the way to the bridge, they found a drainage outlet without a cover, and on the side of the drainage outlet it was written in English, 'The·valleyof·fear'. 'These words

"Uncanny Valley! Conan , who was very familiar with the English meaning of this line, blurted out.

Gino, who also liked mystery stories very much, immediately said:"This is a story from Sherlock Holmes." Minerba asked doubtfully:"But what does this have to do with the uncanny valley?""

"Are there any bridges in the uncanny valley? Conan couldn't help but think that if he remembered correctly, there should be no crossing the bridge.

Shinichi Takada thought for a while and said:"The uncanny valley is the clue left by the gangster. This is an incident in the Sherlock Holmes novel. Let's all think about it." Is there anything in this incident that is relevant to being alive here? If you list them one by one, you might be able to find clues."

"uncanny valley words..."

Gino raised his head slightly and said in retrospect:"There doesn't seem to be a bridge in this story, so it has nothing to do with bridges. Apart from the bridge, it seems to only have to do with water...."

"I see! Conan

's eyes couldn't help but light up after hearing this, and he immediately said:"If something heavy disappears by the water, something must have sunk into the water. There is no doubt about it." This is what Sherlock Holmes said. There is no cover here. The gangster wants to tell us that he has thrown something into the Thames."

"What Conan said makes sense, let's look for it on both sides of the river."

Takada Shinichi said immediately after hearing this. He was not that familiar with Sherlock Holmes novels, so he didn't think of it immediately.

Takada Shinichi and Mao Lilan walked to one side, while Mouri Kogoro, Gino and Conan went to the other side. Run and search separately

"Shinichi, look."

Before Maori Kogoro and the others reached the other side of the bridge, Maori Lan pointed with his finger and said:"There is a slender rope tied to the street lamp on the railing of the bridge. The front end of the rope extends all the way down. Is there anything underneath? What are you tied to?"

"If there is anything tied up, you can tell by pulling it up and taking a look."

Takada Shinichi said as he held the rope and kept pulling it up.

The weight coming from below was very light, and it was obviously not a heavy object tied up. When Takada Shinichi pulled the thing up, Mouri Kogoro and the others also came over.

There is a black metal plate tied to the rope, but there is a big letter 'A' in the lower right corner of the metal plate, which is very conspicuous.

Minerba said doubtfully:"A.what does this mean?"

Takada Shinichi turned over the metal plate and looked at it:"There is only one letter A on it. If the metal plate itself is useless, then this letter is the clue that the gangster will leave us. Conan said:"

That poem has seven lines in total. Except for Big Ben, which appears twice, there are six places in total." If you find one letter here, will you find five more letters in the other five places? Then connect the letters and they become words"

"Makes sense."

Gino nodded in agreement, looked at Conan in surprise and said:"Apollo said that you are Holmes's apprentice, and you really live up to your name. The boy is really awesome."

Mao Lilan said:"Conan, this kid likes to pretend to be a detective. Every time my father is working on a case, he is with him, so he has learned a lot."

"This kid learned from me, but he didn't learn even a single point of my skills. He is far from the famous detective like me."

Mouri Kogoro pressed Conan's head and laughed contentedly as he spoke.

"hehe..."

Conan couldn't help but talk after hearing this. He knew very well how capable Mouri Kogoro was.

Upon seeing this, Shinichi Takada said:"Okay, here at Big Ben we found this metal plate with the mother A written on it, and there is nothing else. In this case, let's go to the building represented by the second row, the Elephant Castle. Let's go."

After listening to Takada Shinichi's words, everyone had no objection, and the group of people took a taxi to go.

Because the Elephant Castle is the name of an area, not a specific building, so Takada Shinichi and others first went to the station to search for it when they arrived.

It's just that at the station, Takada Shinichi and others found nothing, nothing unusual or special. Because they found nothing at the station, they decided to divide into three teams after discussion. Takada Shinichi and Mourilan's team, Minerba, Gino and Apollo's team, Mouri Kogoro and Conan's team, each searched separately in other parts of the Elephant Castle.

More than half an hour later, Takada Shinichi and others met at the station. They shook their heads at each other, but neither noticed that everything was normal. _Feilu reminds you: three things about reading - collection, recommendation,
