A Detective: I Believe in Science

Chapter 192
"I'm not canceling the play."

Conan's persuasion did not have any effect, and Irene Andora still insisted on acting in the drama, ignoring the upcoming danger.

"Why? You will probably pay the price with your life!"

Maybe it's because the woman in front of him has the same relationship with his mother, Conan really can't bear to see the other party have an accident, even if it's just a game.

"I can't disappoint the guests who come to the opera."

This sentence blocked Conan's desire to continue to refute, because he had heard similar words from his mother.

"Besides, don't you still protect me? Since Holmes asked you to inform me, I'm afraid he is quite confident in you."

After thinking about it again and again, Conan gave up his plan to persuade the other party to cancel the opera. Their original purpose was to capture Jack the Ripper. Since Irene Andora insisted on taking the stage and acting as a bait, their chances would be greater.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the auditorium of the opera house can be said to be full of seats, and Noah and others are among them, quietly waiting for the performance to start.

The lights dimmed, leaving only one beam on the stage, hitting Irene Andora's body, making her look like a holy angel.

Noah looked at the surrounding environment, and it looked normal and nothing unusual. They were located closest to the stage, and if they found danger, they could step forward to stop it immediately.

Backstage at the Opera House, a figure in a black cloak and a mask with a strange smile escaped the staff's sight and quietly approached the stage.

If Conan and the others see it, they will definitely recognize that this person is the murderous Jack the Ripper they have been trying to arrest. At this time, a sharp knife quietly appeared in the opponent's hand.

The opera gradually reached its climax, and Conan's nerves began to become more and more tense. Not surprisingly, it was almost time for the other party to act.

"Boom"

A loud noise interrupted the opera and the peaceful atmosphere of the scene. The feet began to shake violently, and some unidentified audience members in the stands stood up nervously.

With a bang, a stone fell from the roof of the opera house and hit Conan right on the top of his head.

"Conan, be careful!"

Yuantai next to him saw the stone for the first time and pushed Conan away, but he was hit by the stone.

"Yuantai, how are you doing?"

Conan, who had reacted, hurriedly checked Yuantai's situation and found that there was nothing wrong with it. Just as he was about to take a breather, Yuantai began to emit colorful light, which meant being eliminated.

"Oh, Conan, it looks like I'm going to find Ayumi and the others, you have to work hard!"

It was too late to be sad, and when he looked up at the roof, Conan's pupils shrank. This was the rhythm of the collapse. If I guessed correctly, the loud noise just now should be caused by the ignition of explosives.

"Run out, this place is going to collapse."

This shout reminded the audience that for a moment, the scene was in chaos, and the audience rushed to the outside, for fear of being left here.

When Conan turned his head to look at the stage, his face changed drastically. A figure in black was gradually approaching Irene Andora, and the mask on the other's face told who he was.

"Eileen, watch out!"

Fortunately, they were relatively close, and Conan's voice clearly reached Irene Andora's ears. When she turned her head and saw Jack the Ripper, the distance between the two was less than two meters.

Seeing that he was found, Jack the Ripper sped forward, intending to stab Erin Andora to death with a knife.

After running away in a panic, Irene Andora accidentally tripped over her long skirt, but because of this, she escaped the fatal blow of Jack the Ripper, and was also given to Conan and others to come to the rescue Chance.

Xiaolan bravely stretched out her legs and kicked at the opponent. Jack the Ripper had no intention of confronting them. In addition, this opera house was about to collapse, so he couldn't stay any longer.

After dodging and dodging, they quickly ran to the backstage exit. Of course, Conan and the others couldn't let go of such an opportunity and quickly chased after him.

After walking out of the Opera House, I saw Jack the Ripper running away, Conan and others followed closely behind, and finally chased all the way to Charlie Cross Station.

As soon as they entered the station, they saw Jack the Ripper jumping on a train that was about to start, and before entering the carriage, he turned his head and gave them a provocative glance.

"Let's jump up quickly, otherwise it will be very difficult to meet him in the future."

After the few of them jumped into the car, Jack the Ripper had disappeared. They searched for each car, but they didn't find each other.

"I think he should be disguised. According to Holmes' notes, Jack the Ripper is proficient in all kinds of disguises."

"Then how can we find him?"

"Go to the conductor first, gather everyone together, and then make a comparison."

The news that Jack the Ripper was on the train made the conductor panic, and hurriedly followed the request to gather everyone on the train into one compartment.

There were not many passengers on this train, only a dozen or so people in total, and everyone cooperated very well when they heard the news that Jack the Ripper was on board.

Noah and Haibara did not go to the carriage to listen to Conan's reasoning. The two of them were observing the locomotive. Because Haibara was particularly curious about what the locomotives of this era looked like, the two of them came here.

"Doesn't this train need people to watch?"

Looking at the empty cab, the two were a little puzzled. According to the simulation level of this game, there shouldn't be no driver.

"Look, Noah, this brake seems to be broken."

Following the direction Huiyuan pointed, Noah saw an ancient brake, tried to pull it twice, but there was no response, and the train was still moving forward at an extremely fast speed.

"I think this should be specially arranged by Hiroki. Before the train crashes, Conan must catch the murderer and survive unharmed, otherwise the game will be considered a failure."

Haibara nodded, and she realized that only Hiroki could cause this situation.

When the two were walking towards the carriage, they bumped into the flustered Conan and Zhuhoshi Hideki head-on.

"Aren't you going to catch that murderer? What are you doing here, where is Xiaolan?"

Seeing Noah, Conan seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly explained the ins and outs of the matter.

Through the clues left by Holmes and the clues discovered by Conan himself, they managed to find Jack the Ripper who was among the crowd.

Xiaolan immediately went up to subdue him, but what she didn't expect was that the opponent was still carrying a smoke bomb, and she was negligent for a while, causing the opponent to run away, taking Xiaolan with her.

"Then what are you two going to do now?"

"Look for someone, we've already searched for the rear compartment, now we only have the front compartment."

"Then you don't need to look for it, there is no one in front, I just walked over from the front."

After Conan heard what Noah said, he frowned. He believed Noah's words, but where could the other party go?

"Conan, could it be..."

Zhu Xingxiushu pulled Conan's arm and pointed to the roof of the car, which made Conan's eyes light up, yes, he actually forgot this.

He hurriedly ran to the junction of the carriages, and after seeing a few points of strength, he stretched out his hands and climbed up, and soon reached the roof of the carriage.

As expected, Jack the Ripper was at the rear of the car, and Xiao Lan was also here, but was tied up with a rope and could not move, and the other end of the rope was held in Jack the Ripper's hand.
