Comprehensive Manga: The Master is not here today.

"But speaking of which, what exactly do those guys want to do with the bacteria?"

"Yes, and I heard that if you get infected, you will die."

"Terrible."

"Not only that, it is said that the bacteria is spread through droplets..."

When the topic of [Red Siamese Cat] came up, the three people from the TV station couldn't help but start discussing it. After all, this was a major event that everyone was very concerned about at the moment.

On the other side, hearing their conversation, Kojima Genta asked with some confusion:

"What is droplet transmission?"

"That means it can be transmitted through sneezing and coughing."

Huiyuan Ai explained. At the same time, a square-faced middle-aged man in a brown shirt appeared in front of everyone and said with a frivolous smile:

"Bacteria are really not a big deal. I've been to many places full of bacteria before, and I'm still full of energy now, right?"

This is a journalist named Takamichi Fujioka. Like the three people from the TV station, he is the only journalist reporting on this incident right now.

After saying that, the other party looked at the children from the Junior Detective Team and said with a malicious look:

"But if you are a little brat, you will probably die right away, right?"

"Eh?"

Ayumi and the others were a little scared when they heard this. Seeing this, Mao Lilan said dissatisfiedly:

"Please don't play such jokes on children!"

"That's right, it's really insane!"

Facing the accusations from the two, Fujioka Takamichi shrugged indifferently and turned away.

At this moment, Fujimaru Ritsuka suddenly laughed and said:

"In fact, I think the other party made such a big fuss just to divert everyone's attention."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's attention was drawn to them. Suzuki Sonoko asked curiously:

"Divert attention? Then Ritsuka, what do you think they want to do?"

"Like, want to steal something when no one's paying attention?"

Upon hearing this, the faces of news reporter Fujioka Takamichi and the three people from the TV station changed slightly, but no one noticed their situation at this time. Most of them felt a little amused by Fujimaru Ritsuka's answer.

In any case, this speculation is too far-fetched.

Mao Lilan hesitated and said:

"I think it's unlikely, right? If that's the case, why would they take away such dangerous bacteria?"

"I do not know either."

Fujimaru Ritsuka shook his head and then smiled:

"However, there is actually no evidence to prove that they have really obtained the bacteria. Maybe this is just a trick released by the other party?"

"Uh, this seems..."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that Fujimaru Ritsuka's guess seemed to make some sense.

“—Hahahahahaha!”

But at this moment, Suzuki Jikichiro couldn't help laughing, then looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka and said:

“I have to say, this is an interesting guess.”

"But little girl, if the facts are really as you said, and the other party made such a big fuss just to steal something, isn't it too ridiculous? Are those guys idiots?"

Hearing this, Dr. Agasa nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, if it was just to steal something, there would be no need to make such a big fuss."

This terrorist attack not only shocked the whole country, but also attracted widespread attention from all over the world. If this was just an act to divert attention in order to steal things, then it would be too humorous.

"That's right, if that's true it's too exaggerated!"

"How is that possible!"

"But the little girl still has a good imagination."

The three people from the TV station also echoed the sentiment, but their smiles were inexplicably forced. In a corner where no one was paying attention, Fujioka Takamichi stared at Fujimaru Ritsuka, his face gloomy for some reason.

"maybe."

In response to everyone's reactions, Fujimaru Ritsuka just smiled and shrugged, not caring.

After all, this is how a normal person should react.

Not only that, feeling someone's gaze on her, she couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of her mouth, revealing a wicked smile as if a prank had succeeded.

Some people just found her guess funny, but there were others who were probably sweating profusely.

But on the other hand, after listening to Fujimaru Ritsuka's guess, Conan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Although the other party's remarks seemed absurd at first, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that they did make sense, and could even be said to be the most reasonable speculation at the moment.

And if that is really the case, then...

"——What do you think, little detective?"

Suddenly, Moriarty's question interrupted Conan's thinking. Looking at the smile on the other's face, he subconsciously shook his head and said:

"I do not know."

Then, he seemed to have thought of something, looked at Moriarty suspiciously and said:

"Could it be you, Professor, who is causing trouble?"

"Of course not. How did you learn Ritsuka's tricks?"

"Rather than saying I learned it, it would be better to say..."

Knowing that the person in front of you is Moriarty, it would probably be difficult not to doubt him, right?

In addition, seeing Moriarty reminded Conan of a question that he had always been very concerned about -

If Moriarty exists, then what about Sherlock Holmes?

"that……"

"what happened?"

"...No, it's nothing."

After thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was inappropriate to ask Moriarty this question, so he did not open his mouth in the end, but prepared to go to Fujimaru Ritsuka to ask about this matter.

"correct,"

At this moment, Moriarty suddenly laughed:

"The situations in our two worlds are different. You should understand this, right, Conan-kun?"

"Of course. Any questions?"

Conan nodded, but he didn't understand why the other party suddenly brought up this matter.

Seeing Conan's puzzled expression, Moriarty continued to smile:

"I just want to tell you that on our side, Holmes lost to me in the final duel and died completely, okay?"

"That's why I was summoned to Chaldea as the winner."

"……Eh?"

Conan was stunned on the spot. After Fan realized what was happening, he immediately denied it.

"How is this possible? This lie is too fake, isn't it?"

You know, even the ending where Holmes and Moriarty died together was not accepted by readers, so the author was forced to resurrect Holmes under pressure.

And the ending that Moriarty mentioned was even more outrageous. It was impossible no matter how you thought about it, right?

Unless on their side, Moriarty and Holmes' identities are reversed.

"Do I need to lie?"

However, Moriarty chuckled:

"If you don't believe me, you can go and ask Ritsuka for confirmation right away. Even if I'm lying to you, there's no need for Ritsuka to do this, right?"

"But then again, it seems like it's a good idea to stick with your own ideas. After all, the truth is a little hard for you to accept."

"Because you are a fan of Sherlock Holmes."

After saying that, Moriarty left with a smile, leaving Conan alone in self-doubt.

This news was too absurd, and could be said to be incredibly false, but Moriarty's attitude was so confident that he did not dare to confirm it.

But if it's true...it's too scary...

However, when he looked at Fujimaru Ritsuka who was chatting with Xiaolan and the others not far away, he felt very conflicted and hesitant.

Should I ask?
