Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 947 You are Sherlock Holmes!

Conan looked at the closed door, rubbed his ears that were buzzing by the clerk's loud voice, and sighed sadly.

"..." At times like this, I miss Jiang Xia's inexplicable affinity and talent.Although the neighbor often accidentally shows his murderous side, at least he seems like a good guy.Moreover, being close to an adult status, it is not easy to be rejected by the person you are talking to... Tsk, hateful Noah, if you can't beat Jiang Xia, you will take Jiang Xia away. You really don't speak martial arts.Also throw the pot to the game manufacturer.

The plan to crack eggs failed miserably.

Conan retreated to the alley in a delicate mood, joined the players, then raised his head again, looking at the window of the cafe.

After seeing it clearly, he was slightly taken aback.

——The young man with an Asian face is no longer there, and he doesn't know when he disappeared.

"When you were thrown out just now, that person seemed to have finished drinking the wine in the glass, then handed the glass to the waiter, and left from the window."

Although Haibara Ai doesn't often play games, she is at least better than Conan.

She tried to use the thinking of the game to speculate on the current situation: "Maybe it's not time to find a 'helper'. Key characters always appear at critical moments. We don't know anything about the main story of the game now, and it's normal not to see a helper." .

"Besides, there is a more likely reason——

"This is indeed one of the opportunities to contact a helper. It's a pity that you chose the wrong method, so he left-I heard that the more talented a person is, the more cold he is. Xuande in the Three Kingdoms period only saw Kong Ming after three visits to the thatched cottage ..."

Hui Yuanai said as he talked, he accepted this setting.He nodded secretly.

——If this is the case, this game seems to have a sense of weight and educational significance, which is more interesting than solving crimes and catching people she imagined.

Conan interrupted her conjecture shamelessly:

"No, the situation must be the first one—it's not yet time to get in touch with that mysterious helper.

"He probably just came out for a cutscene, paving the way for the timing of his appearance. Otherwise, I couldn't climb up the wall to the second floor, and then look for him through the window... Besides, maybe it was just a simple passerby, a set a part of."

"Impossible!" Suzuki Sonoko and Yoshida Ayumi suddenly said, and interrupted him in unison, with a firm tone, "His delicacy is not at the same level as passers-by."

Conan: "...Whoever said that being handsome can't be a passerby." Maybe the game company just likes to break the rules...

……

While chatting, several people occasionally looked towards the door of the coffee shop, wanting to see if the "suspected mysterious helper" would come out by himself after leaving his seat.

Until then, though.

Following the sharp police whistle, several policemen separated from the chaotic crowd of onlookers and ran in quickly.They braked next to the body and looked down.

Conan looked at the people who avoided the police and seemed to be a little intimidated by them.

Looking at the coffee shop next to him, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

After a while, Conan ran to the police in small steps, trying to use these tool men delivered to the door to break through the fierce defense of the coffee shop clerk:

"Uncle policeman, just now I picked up a coffee cup left behind by someone who didn't know. The mark on the cup is exactly the same as the coffee shop next to it. If you go in and ask about the situation, maybe you can..."

"Go away! What's the mess with the brat!" The policeman waved his hand at him, disdainful, "'Jack the Ripper' brought a cup of coffee when he committed crimes? And then threw the cup away after killing people?—— Ridiculous, this is not your house-playing game."

Conan, who failed to strike up a conversation again: "..."

……Why it came out like this.

Is it in this world that players can't ask passers-by or the police for help?
"..." I miss Police Officer Takagi so much, Megure Police Department is fine too...

……

Conan's second attempt to "enter the coffee shop and contact the mysterious person in the coffee shop" failed again.

He frowned and walked back to the alley, trying his best to ignore the complex eyes of several brats who said "Conan is really not good at playing games", thinking about what to do next.

At this time, another policeman ran close, and the two policemen next to the corpse shouted at the new colleagues: "Go and contact the Lestrade Police Department - 'Jack the Ripper' has appeared again! This kind of dirty The bloody method is unmistakable, it must be that demon!"

"Lestrade Police Department!?" Conan was startled, "Isn't this a fictional character in "Sherlock Holmes"? Could it be that this so-called 'London at the end of the [-]th century' is not entirely real history, but the real history The 'Jack the Ripper' in the novel, combined with the 'Sherlock Holmes' in the novel?"

Mao Lilan nodded thoughtfully.Although she is not a fan of detectives, whoever let Kudo Shinichi catch up with him in the past will talk about Sherlock Holmes with her.

Mao Lilan's knowledge reserve in this area has also become quite rich: "I seem to have heard the saying 'If Jack the Ripper represents the darkness of this era, then Sherlock Holmes is the light of the era'..."

"That's right, our helper might actually be Sherlock Holmes! Otherwise, the designer wouldn't need to mix real history and fiction together, and add the character 'Sherlock Holmes' when capturing 'Jack the Ripper'."

As a veteran Sherlock Holmes fan, Conan's eyes lit up, "Let me just say, the guy upstairs just now may just be a passerby..."

As he talked, he felt that the other party's appearance, aura, and even the behavior of "noticing the player immediately" were not very similar to "passers-by".

In order to prevent slaps in the face in the future, he cleared his throat again, and secretly added: "...or the villain. Of course, it may be Sherlock Holmes after the transformation!"

Conan's words are quite confident.

——Because this dungeon was designed with the help of his father.

Yusaku Kudo, on the surface, is a serious writer, but in fact, he may have been infected by Yukiko Kudo. His desire for spoofs and demonic reforms is no less than others-change Sherlock Holmes into a "mysterious Asian high school" A role like "Health"... is not impossible.

"Anyway, since there is Sherlock Holmes in this world, let's go to 221 Baker Street first."

Conan tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, and his mental state was like a vodka about to meet the ladies of the earth.

The fake child said solemnly and calmly: "Even if the mysterious man is Holmes after the magic transformation, he will definitely not stay out every night. Let's wait at his house and we should be able to wait—or, we can ask the landlord or him for help." After confirming his appearance, I will search for it in a targeted manner.”
