Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 957 The Fickle Detective

It was a game after all, and the night didn't last long.

In the poker club, not long after the players rested, the sky turned pale.

In the early hours of the morning, a group of people went out early and arrived near the Whitechapel.

This is one of the locations where Jack the Ripper committed crimes.

……

Others scoured the streets for newspapers, looking for information from what Moriarty called the "Sunday Times."

Conan wandered into the courtyard of the Whitechapel unknowingly, observing the situation thoughtfully.

There is a notice on the wall.Conan took a closer look.

See above it says:

[There will also be a parent-child charity bazaar on the second Sunday in October.

Those who want to participate, please bring items that match the theme of 'parent-child'. ]
Conan: "..." October will "also" be held.That is to say, there was one in September—calculating the date, the "Parent-Child Charity Auction" in September happened to be held on the day Hani was killed by "Jack the Ripper".And according to the information found from Holmes, when Hani died, there was a pair of paternity rings beside her.

……

There are no more clues around for the time being.

While silently integrating the known information in his mind, Conan went back the same way and came to the side of his teammates.

It may be that he was lucky, just when he arrived on the street, there was a small newspaper boy passing by.

Conan's eyes lit up and he waved his hand: "Give me a copy of The Sunday Times!"

As he spoke, he touched his pocket.

After entering the game, their appearance and the things they carried were all reproduced one by one.

Conan thought happily, fortunately, he had brought a lot of pocket money with him.

But a second later, looking at the foreigners coming and going on the street.Conan remembered the background of the current era, holding the island country coin in his hand, and froze slightly.

He said to the newsboy, "...I only have yen on me."

A few meters away, "Zhuxing Xiushu" glanced at the npc selling newspapers.

The npc newsboy handed out the newspaper with one hand, and stretched out the other enthusiastically towards Conan: "Come, 80 yen."

Conan: "...Thank you."

Really convenient.

Fortunately, it seems that Noah has not been so crazy to the point of cutting people everywhere, and they still have the hope of clearing the level...

……

Conan took the newspaper and found a group of his friends.

A group of people clattered through the newspaper, and according to what "Moriarty" said, they opened the advertisement section of the "Sunday Times".

Soon, they found a short line:
[Going to clean the opera stage tonight.

M to J]
"M to J... Moriarty to Jack?" Conan quickly confirmed the target, "'kill command' should refer to this."

Suzuki Sonoko looked curiously at this newspaper from the last century.

She looked around, and suddenly found an advertisement for an opera house, her eyes lit up immediately: "It means this—this should be the target of 'Jack the Ripper' today!"

"Which one?" While confirming the advertisement, Conan glanced at Suzuki Sonoko in surprise, and was speechless immediately: I always felt that after seeing "Professor Moriarty" last night, Sonoko, the nympho, suddenly became very motivated. The deputy is very satisfied that the helper looks like "Moriarty"...

Conan followed Suzuki Sonoko's line of sight, and soon saw another advertisement——

[Triumph performance!Irene Adler, Principal Diva, Walter Royal Opera House']
"Irene Adler?!" Conan was startled, and then frowned, "This is the only woman Holmes has ever loved. Moriarty probably didn't just use her as a target to lure Jack the Ripper, but I really want to kill her... this demon!"

Although Conan once felt that Professor Moriarty was an admirable genius in some respects.

But at this time, they are placed side by side with their idol Sherlock Holmes, and the two are about to clash violently...

Sure enough, idols are more important.

Conan couldn't help but wrinkled the newspaper a little, with an angry glint in his eyes: "We must stop his plot and save Irene Adler!"

"Yeah!" Sonoko Suzuki nodded enthusiastically, nodded, and then whispered, "I don't know if Mr. Moriarty will go to watch. Since he is the appointed 'helper' of the game, he should follow Let's meet up." As she spoke, she couldn't help but blush when she remembered the details of her helping out.

"That's not certain." Conan remembered that "Professor Moriarty" wanted to murder his idol's wife, snorted, and retorted:
"Although we haven't seen Holmes in person, we did get a lot of useful clues in his residence—maybe the real helper has always been Holmes. And 'Moriarty' didn't talk to 'The Ripper' at all. Jack's sorry, he's just a misleading item in the game settings, he's helping us on the surface, but he's always ready to backstab us... In short, this kind of guy who likes to play tricks on people's hearts should not be trusted!"

"Oh, fickle kid." Sonoko Suzuki slapped him on the head, and glanced at him, "I don't know who taught us the brilliant achievements of Professor Moriarty last night." '."

"Okay, okay." Mao Lilan, the only sensible adult present, intervened between the two of them, forcing back the increasingly outrageous trend of the conversation:
"Let's go to the Opera House first. Remind Miss Irene Adler and tell her to avoid it—she will be completely safe after Jack the Ripper is caught."

……

The scene quickly turned to evening.

The opera house is brightly lit.Gentlemen and ladies dressed in formal attire entered the arena one after another, arm in arm.

Jiang Xia and Miyano Akemi also appeared nearby.

However, they did not enter through the main entrance, but walked through the staff passage at the back door.

While visiting the backstage of this ancient flavor, he was walking towards the auditorium.

On the way, when passing a fork, someone suddenly blocked the way in front of him.

"...?" Jiang Xia raised his eyes and saw an NPC with a mustache.

Seeing the new face, the npc in charge twirled the funny beard on his lips, Jingye stopped him and said: "This is the backstage, no one else is allowed to enter!"

"..." Miyano Akemi poked Noah.

——Noah attaches great importance to this game. On their side, they left a palm-sized spherical slime as a communicator.

Suddenly being poked at this time, it came back to its senses, looked at the steward blocking the way, and then at Jiang Xia who was staring at the steward's beard and stroking his chin thoughtfully, and realized later: "I forgot to tell you Oh, I didn't mean to let him block the way - just now, the players said that they planned to report to Irene Adler and ask her to suspend the show... In this case, the scheduled chase may not be able to be staged, so I set Blocking program - if you want to go through here, you can cancel it at any time. Just remember to open it after you pass it."
