Conan: The Mechanic

"Then what should we do next?" Maurilan asked. "Conan, do you remember where the fifth case happened?"

"Bishop's Square," Conan replied. "Due west of here, the straight-line distance from here is about 400 meters. The deceased died around 1:30 and was found at 1:45 after a brutal autopsy."

"Can we get there?" Maurilan asked.

"Even if we can get there, it will be difficult for us to stop Jack the Ripper." Conan shook his head. "Or, we can't beat him unless we can call the Scotland Yard police."

"What happened?" At this moment, Zhuxing Xiushu led the little guys in. "I just saw-"

Hideki Zhuxing stopped abruptly after seeing Elizabeth's body.

"We need to find a patrolman," Conan stood up and said. "We need to gather as much police force as possible against Jack the Ripper."

. . .

Half an hour later, the group stopped on the side of the road.

"Are all the patrolmen around here dead?" Qianyu said bitterly, using her finger to poke a hole in the brick wall next to her.

"I guess it's the ghost of Noah's Ark." Conan shook his head and said.

"It must be his fault!" Qianyu turned around and faced Conan. "Otherwise I would have met at least three patrolmen on those roads just now!"

"That..." Mao Lilan looked at the posters on the road next to her, and after hesitating for a while, she stopped Qianyu and Conan. "Look at this..."

"?" Conan and the others came over, only to find that it was a poster.

The location doesn't matter, but the actors are. . .

"Eileen Adler?" Conan's expression was very exciting.

"This means..." Qianyu also raised her eyebrows. "Should we go and see if there's 221 Baker Street?"

"What do you mean?" Zhuxing Hideki asked curiously - he should be the most active among the gangsters, and he is much more comfortable than the diehards.

"Eileen Adler is not a real person," Chiba explained. "This is a character that only exists in the Sherlock Holmes story line. In other words, the stage we are on may not be the real historical line, but some personal goods of the Sherlock Holmes series added by some people."

"Then can we go to Sherlock Holmes?" Hideki Zhuxing had obviously read some Sherlock Holmes stories, so he could follow Chiba's thoughts.

"Yes, yes, but..." Qianyu suddenly showed an embarrassed expression. "Do any of you know where Baker Street is?"

"I know," Conan smiled confidently. "I have recited the map of London during the Sherlock Holmes period. Although I am mainly familiar with the geography of Westminster (where Baker Street is located), I probably have impressions of streets in other areas."

"Woc..." Qianyu and the others looked at Conan in astonishment.

. . .

"It really came..." Chiba and the others looked at the street brand with "BakerStreet" written in front of them, and their worship of Conan was as high as a mountain.

"Let's go to 221b to visit Mr. Holmes first." Conan just smiled and shook his head to let everyone pay attention to the business.

221b appeared very abruptly, because the whole Baker Street was a two-digit number, and only this building had a very prominent 221.

"Dong Dong——" Conan knocked on 221b's door. "Mr. Holmes?"

"Is it late at night?" Qianyu suddenly thought of a question. "I remember Mr. Holmes had a year-round habit of injecting cocaine. . . Could there be a problem with his temper?"

"Probably not..." Conan was also taken aback when he heard Chiyu's question. "I can't tell."

"Edogawa, can Sherlock Holmes solve the case well in a few years?" Ai Haibara asked suddenly.

"Uh..." Conan nodded after recalling for a while. "Yes, even in his later years, he seems to have only rheumatism and the like, and there is no mental problem."

"Then there is nothing to worry about," Haibara Ai spread her hands. "The physical symptoms of long-term injection of a small amount of cocaine are almost absent, and the psychological symptoms are not obvious, mainly manifested in mild irritability and mild mental laxity, but Mr. Holmes still maintains a very high level of thinking ability. These symptoms were not enough to change his character at all." (In fact, the main reason Holmes didn't have them was because at a time when this habit of Holmes was written by Conan Doyle, cocaine represented advanced and fashionable relative to opium, Rolling up your sleeves and injecting under the skin is also a lot more masculine than lying in bed and smoking masculinity. And the dangers of cocaine were not realized at all. As evidence, Freud once wrote a paper on the use of cocaine to treat morphine addiction in that era. ...)

At this moment, the door opened, and a mother-in-law whom Qianyu didn't know at all appeared in front of everyone.

"Hey?" Maorilan made a puzzled voice~www.NovelMTL.com~ Excuse me, is Mr. Holmes there? "Or Conan is more clever, and asked immediately.

"Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson are both out of town because of the case," said the mother-in-law in a standard London accent.

"Outside?" Conan was stunned. "where is it?"

"I remember..." The mother-in-law thought for a while. "Devon... it seems that a doctor named James visited him yesterday morning..."

"James?" Conan asked thoughtfully. "Devon... it's the Hound of the Baskervilles!"

"So, Mr. Holmes isn't here?" Chiba immediately understood what that meant. "Can't he help us?"

"Probably so." Conan sighed and nodded.

"Then," said the mother-in-law kindly. "Come in, I'll get you some drinks!"

"Huh?" Conan was stunned.

"Didn't you guys just help Mr. Holmes solve a case last week?" The mother-in-law's eyes narrowed into crescent moons. "This is what you deserve, come in quickly!"

"Oh..." Conan understood everything in an instant, and then said to everyone in Japanese. "Everyone, come with me!"

"What were you talking about just now?" Mitsuhiko leaned against Qianyu's ear and asked in a whisper. "These guys are all speaking English, we don't understand it at all!"

Only then did Qianyu glance at the others, and found that only herself, Conan, Haibara Ai, and Maurilan could understand the conversation just now.

"Come in quickly!" At this moment, the mother-in-law, who had been speaking in a London accent, suddenly changed to standard Japanese.

"..." Qian Yu glanced at her mother-in-law, and then led everyone into 221b.
