Conan's corpse picker

Chapter 963 Yuanzi, rest in peace

And Conan recalled the scene at Charlie Cross Station just now.

——When "Professor Moriarty" appeared next to Suzuki Sonoko, his clothes were neat and his face was not stained with dust.It is almost conceivable that when the players were chasing "Jack the Ripper" and running around the street, he followed the pre-set safe passage and left the theater leisurely.

Conan: "..." This shows that the relationship between "Professor Moriarty" and "Jack the Ripper" is not "out of control" as Moriarty himself said.

On the contrary, "Jack the Ripper" knew the location of Moriarty's box, and deliberately avoided it when planting the bomb.

And when Professor Moriarty left the theater, he also knew that the theater was bombed into a mess, and there was the best way to go... These two people must still keep in touch, they are basically the same!

In other words, if Moriarty really wanted to help them catch Jack the Ripper, there was no need to make this scene.

Conan's heart sank—thinking in the worst direction, "Professor Moriarty" might not like their group of "Baker Street Guerrillas" under Holmes' command, so he deliberately designed today's play so that he could be disemboweled Hand Jack killed the group of people.

Even if he thinks in a better direction, Professor Moriarty doesn't want the out-of-control "Jack the Ripper", so he intends to use the players to let both parties die together.

In short, the player must die.

Conan: "..." Under such circumstances, Sonoko Suzuki, who fell into the hands of Moriarty...

He sighed inwardly, and silently divided Suzuki into the "Rest in peace, we will definitely clear the game!" group.

……

The only three players left, or two players, and one "Hideki Motoshi" entered the carriage and walked along the corridor of the box, secretly looking for "Jack the Ripper" who had mixed into the crowd.

Walking all the way, I didn't see any suspicious people, but I met the train conductor.

Mao Lilan stepped forward to talk, trying to get help from npc:
"'Jack the Ripper' just attacked the theater and we ran after him and found him on this train. Have you seen him? He's recognizable by his attire - all black with black behind him robes, hat and half-mask of the same color."

"Jack the Ripper got into our car?! When?" Hearing this, the train conductor panicked.He paced back and forth anxiously, then suddenly turned his head and asked the player, "Then what should we do?"

Conan heard this kind of help-seeking question for a long time, and he was immediately refreshed, commanding skillfully:
"Jack the Ripper's outfit is highly recognizable. But along the way, we didn't see a similar person on the bus. Since you haven't seen it either, he probably changed his costume and mixed in with other passengers ——Please gather all the passengers in one compartment, and we will be responsible for finding him!"

The train conductor nodded emphatically, becoming one of the few obedient npcs in this dungeon.

He greeted the conductor, and everyone ran out the door together.

……

Soon, the scattered passengers all gathered in the same carriage—"Jack the Ripper" has a very vicious reputation in this world.As soon as the passengers heard that the murderer had sneaked into the train, they immediately became very cooperative, hoping to catch him as soon as possible, so as not to be inexplicably turned into a dead soul before arriving at the next station.

The train conductor stood at the end of the car, looking at the passengers sitting on the seats on both sides, and next to them were three real and fake players.

He remembered the method Conan had just provided, and said to the passengers: "Please, like me, stretch out your hands and raise them in front of you—we need to make sure that everyone is not carrying a murder weapon."

"Jack the Ripper" Matsuda Jinpei, mixed in the crowd at this time, had already completed his disguise.

Hearing this sentence, he looked down at his hand, suddenly thought of something, and understood something.

——After getting on this train, Noah forcibly changed him into a costume.

His appearance now is very different from before.The only thing that remains the same is that there is one finger, which is a circle thinner than the other fingers, which is very obvious.

Matsuda Jinping thought to himself: It seems that this dungeon is coming to an end soon.

A little joy of "finally getting off work" welled up in his heart. Like other passengers, he spread his hands and raised them in front of his face according to what the train conductor said.

……

Conan looked around the carriage, his eyes swept across all the passengers, and he stopped slightly on the way of Matsuda Jinhei's finger, and a reflection flashed through his glasses.

He secretly winked at Mao Lilan.

Then he looked at the other passengers: "According to the investigation information left by Mr. Holmes, one of the victims of 'Jack the Ripper', Honey Charles Sturt, is a woman from the small town of Windsor. She was born and raised in Windsor , married, but didn't want to stay in that small place forever. So ten years ago, she left her son and dying husband and came to London."

Speaking of this, Conan thought of something, and his voice suddenly paused.

"..." So, "Jack the Ripper" was abandoned by his family ten years ago.That should be about the time Moriarty picked up this "genius criminal".

but……

Conan was silent for a moment: "Professor Moriarty", if we push forward ten years, can he be ten years old?
Conan: "..." Is it possible that Dad designed this character to use "not old" or "rejuvenate" as a metaphor for Kudo Shinichi who ate APTX4869?

Then he didn't want to attract the attention of the organization in black, so he deliberately blurred his face?

...No, I always feel that something is not right.I am not that kind of character.

There is no one with a similar character around.Could it be one of Dad's classmates?
……

"Conan?"

Beside, Mao Lilan's voice suddenly sounded.

She looked at Conan, who suddenly got stuck in the middle of speaking, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Huh? It's nothing, I'm straightening out my thoughts." Conan came back to his senses, and decided to deal with the crisis in front of him first, and wait for other things to come out later.

He took out a photo from his pocket, which was taken from Sherlock Holmes' data book - at first, Conan was a little embarrassed, but then he found out that "Holmes" was actually a guest star of his father, and when he searched again, his movements were swift many.

Conan held up the photo and faced the passenger.

In the photo, it was a pair of plain silver rings.One big and one small.

"Haney Charles Sturt was killed near the Whitechapel. On the day of the murder, the church happened to be holding a 'Parent-Child Bazaar'. And there happened to be such a pair of relics left at the scene of Honey's murder."

Conan glanced at the photo in his hand:

"The one with a larger circle is Honey Charles Sturt's ring. The other one used to be 'Jack the Ripper' - this pair of rings was not 'accidentally' left on the scene ...but Jack the Ripper purposely left there as a token of their parentage."
