Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 958 [Moriarty] Joining the Team
Halfway through the conversation, Noah suddenly felt as if he was teaching the psychic master to do things.

It paused for a moment, then changed its words cowardly: "Well, forget it, or I'll do it."

"It's okay." Jiang Xia came back to his senses, looked away from the steward, and changed his way, "There's no need to stop the player - the detailed character of Irene Adler here should be set by the uncle Kudo next door Right... If that's the case, whether you stop it or not, the effect is actually the same."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xia suddenly felt something.

He paused, raised his head, and looked at a small door on the right, more than ten meters away.

That door just connected to the path leading to the side door.

After looking at it twice, there was a light click, and the door was opened furtively by the person on the other side.

Immediately afterwards, several heads of different heights poked out along the one-foot-wide crack in the door.Everyone looks familiar.

……

The players did try to convince Irene Adler that she should stop acting and go somewhere else that would be safer.

So before coming to the theater, they chipped in to buy a bouquet of flowers, and planned to bring them over, pretending to be Irene Adler's group of relatives and friends, sneaking in front of her to persuade her.

Just now, the players finally found the opportunity to follow the trail and get into the backstage.

Unexpectedly, before seeing Irene Adler, she first saw the "Professor Moriarty" whose position was unknown.

——The young Moriarty stood in the middle of the corridor, his eyes with darker contours looked precisely in the direction of the player.

Obviously recognized them, this mysterious Asian man in British attire nodded slightly to them and greeted them gracefully.

"..."

A group of players did not expect this encounter at all.

The moment they looked at each other, some people instinctively wanted to avoid Moriarty's sight, and planned to hide again and observe this dangerous element secretly.

Some people are suddenly happy, want to welcome this unexpected wonderful encounter optimistically, and plan to go out.

There are those who want to go out, and those who want to go back.The two slammed into each other, and a group of players huddled together in the small dim door.

Suzuki Sonoko accidentally stepped on an empty paint can, slipped and fell sideways.Conan was also unfortunately knocked off balance by her. He subconsciously swung his arms and tried to stand still. The bouquet in his hand, which was exchanged for all the players' wealth, drew an arc amidst the screams of the crowd, like a Flew out like a free bird.

In the chaos, the narrow side door was suddenly opened, and the warm and bright light from the corridor shone in.

Stretching in with a pair of slender arms, Akemi Miyano quickly grabbed the source of the confusion with one hand, and lifted Conan and Sonoko Suzuki out of the door and put them back on the ground.

The bouquet that drew a parabola did not fall to the ground.

"Moriarty" took a few steps forward at some point, and caught it smoothly. The whole process was extremely smooth, as if the bouquet of flowers had been thrown to him on purpose.

"Good evening, see you again." Moriarty looked down at the bouquet, politely held it up and sniffed it lightly, and then said as a matter of course, "Thank you for the gift."

Suzuki Sonoko looked at "Colonel Moran" and then at "Moriarty", blushing slightly, and tidied up the messy headband nervously: "No, it's nothing, as long as you like it."

Conan pulled the crooked collar and corrected it firmly: "Sorry, but it's for someone else!"

"Really." Moriarty smiled indulgently, "That's really rude."

He handed the flowers to the players who approached, and at the same time asked naturally: "What are you doing backstage?"

Conan opened his mouth: "..."

...Good question, he wanted to ask too.Unfortunately, it was preempted by Professor Moriarty.

"..." Tsk, speaking of it, this kind of aggrieved feeling of wanting to make a move but being cut off in advance, why is it a bit familiar...

Conan thought for a while, but couldn't remember.

He sighed faintly, straightened the flowers in his arms, and answered "Moriarty"'s question: "Go see Irene Adler."

Although the position of "Professor Moriarty" is unclear and may not be friendly, Conan does not want to answer his question.

But after thinking about it - they all met in this kind of place, and the players even brought a bouquet of flowers specially. The purpose of the next step is actually already obvious.

In short, it is impossible to hide their plan from Professor Moriarty.This is a typical knowing question.Therefore, it is better to answer generously than to hide.

"I see."

After listening to his answer, "Professor Moriarty" gave a compliment.

But there was no surprise on his face.Even before Conan could answer, he stepped aside and got out of the way.

The players walked past him without hindrance.

……

Conan hugged the flower and walked a few meters smoothly, he couldn't help but feel a little hesitant.

——It passed so easily?
Could it be that Professor Moriarty is really on the player's side when it comes to "Jack the Ripper"?
"..." Thinking of this, Conan couldn't help but glance behind him.

Expected to see an empty corridor.Or a deep and mysterious figure in the corner in the distance.

Unexpectedly, when I turned around, I saw Professor Moriarty walking at the end of the line, turning his head slightly, and talking in a low voice with Sonoko Suzuki... This criminal mentor whose influence radiated the whole of Europe, unexpectedly blended into their pure In the player team, "Colonel Moran" followed silently at the end, like a loyal shadow.

Conan's forehead twitched, and he stared quietly at the happy Suzuki Sonoko: "..." Don't bring in such a dangerous person!

Suzuki Sonoko was still laughing, ignorant of the worried gaze from the kid.

Instead, Moriarty noticed Conan's gaze, and accurately understood his doubts and vigilance at this time.

He met Conan's gaze, smiled and said, "I'm also very curious about that woman who even Holmes is fascinated by - don't mind if I visit with you."

Conan: "..." Mind you!
Special mind!

...But unfortunately, this is a public place, so it is impossible and there is no reason for them to stop Moriarty.

In addition...

As a die-hard fan of Sherlock Holmes, Conan thought angrily: If he insists on keeping Professor Moriarty away at this time, it will be as if he is afraid of him.

And Conan remembered that Moriarty once called him "Holmes' disciple" at the poker club.Although there may be a little bit of wonderful misunderstanding... But in any case, in front of Moriarty, "Conan" is no longer alone. He represents the reputation of Sherlock Holmes, and he cannot easily show his timidity!
