The [...] means that you can see that there is something written there.
Now what I guess what the missing words could be:
London is a chilled boiled egg like a corpse. (Someone said it's "ion". But you can't see it clearly. It could also be a l, d, i or j) And since they are in London it would make sense)
N/

? (dunno what could stand here. But there should be a lot of letters, so a long word or more shorter words. Since you can see some word between conans fingers/behind his hand)
I'm not sure about the meaning. Only thing that I thought of was tha "
London is a chilled boiled egg like a corpse." could mean that he wants to kill a lot of people in london? If it's really london that's written there.
If I check the RAW file, it's pretty obvious that it says [...]ion. It's also more likely to be Low, because you can see the bottom stroke of an L. Doesn't look like it could be a serif of either an H or an N. Not that it makes any sense. I never noticed that the last sentence is a lot longer than we can see, but you're definitely right.
There is a point in trying to figure out what the note says. We have to wait 2 weeks for the next chapter. And I am going to wrack my brains about the meaning of this code.
You also have a point that Ai might have realized that there's no point in trying to make him stay in Japan. I still think it's suspicious that she never even tried. Nor did she point out how suspicious the behaviour of that lady is. Cursing in one's mother tongue isn't that unusual either. But it still seems like it's done on purpose to attract Conan's attention. Especially since the boy doesn't look Asian at all, so his parents are probably both British and English curses and insults should come more natural to him.
Another important point you make is that Shinichi is behaving very suspiciously. First he doesn't care about Ran being at the Holmes museum. Was it really too difficult to feign some interest in that.
And a six-year-old who speaks English fluently? I find it strange that no-one even asked him where he learned it.
Hawaii probably.
Oh, I looked up a chinese Raw, and there it clearly looks like a i D:
But what word would be there then with "ion"? Lion? Will James Black come to london? XD
Low is an option too. But Now/How seems to make a bit more sense than Low I think? (well, with goshos english you dunno :x)
And yes, it makes perfect sense to discuss the chapter and thus also the riddle in the discussion thread ;p Otherwise speculating on who Bourbon, Anokata etc. is would be pointless too, since we'll know in some years anyway ;p
Yes, the boy doesn't look Asian. But he clearly can already speak english and japanese. And he shouldn't be much older than "Conan", so not older than 9? And in that age I wasn't able to distinguish whether I talk german or polish. Or sometimes I knew some terms in the other language better, and used it even if someone didn't understand ;p
And since he probably didn't care whether that man would know what he said or not, he just used japanese because he wanted to? ;p
Conan is suspicious a lot. But since he tricked Ran already, it's not such a surprise she doesn't get it. Or I think she doesn't want to suspect him anymore too.
Since she already confronted him more than once, or hinted to him that she suspects him as Shinichi.
So, since he still didn't tell her on his own she could think:
1) He doesn't trust Ran
2) It's something he definitely can't tell her, even tho he trusts Ran
So Ran could just avoid to notice all obvious hints.

1. Shinichi's sneezing on the plane was not because he had a cold (he didn't), but because Ran and Kogorou were talking about him up in first class.
2. I don't think it's a big deal that Shinichi's being so careless with his reaction to Ran on the phone/the phone bill when Ran returns to Japan - because he's probably going to end up taking the pill and becoming Shinichi in London and Ran's going to "realize" that the reason Shinichi seemed so disinterested is because Shinichi was actually in London (since he will show up as Shinichi in front of Ran for some reason)
Oh, I didn't think about that possibility. But you're right! D:
Maybe he doesn't need to have a cold anymore, just have to be a jerk to be able to turn back with the antidote
And he's obviously in jerk mode ;p
Tho, for his defense, he was in a rush to hang up the phone, like some said.

Admittedly, it was short-sighted not to ask for souvenirs. That was the most suspicious behaviour so far, I think.
If someone got to go somewhere that I'd been dying to go to, I'd just be jealous and would hope they
wouldn't bring back souvenirs for me (don't rub it in my face)
Well unless it's food
You..... want food from England? O.o"

Also, there was the case where Shinichi's parents were introduced. If I remember correctly, they wanted to whisk him off to America. Wouldn't he need a passport for that? Well, I suppose they could've pulled some strings or called in some favours to make it happen.... Of course, something from 600+ chapters ago probably has limited relevance.
Yes. But I also think that Yusaku said something about knowing someone from Interpol (or another big organization) who would help.
;(
As you can tell, plot makes me happy
