Conan's other me

Chapter 131 The Devil's Mist City in the Dead Realm ([-])

The undercover action means that Moriarty needs to know that Holmes is investigating Jack the Ripper, time is running out, and the case of Jack the Ripper has just happened, and the Lestrade Police Department is also very interested in knowing the progress of Holmes. .

So he did not delay, intending to accompany the children who "wanted to see if Mr. Holmes had left a note" to Baker Street.

He obviously regarded Fengyuan and his party as the group of street children who helped Holmes investigate the case, the Baker Street Squad.And considering that they don't dress like street children at all, or even belong to this era, this is obviously a game setting.

Even the help of the Lestrade Police Department is part of the game flow.

In short, the group set foot on the road to Baker Street again.

The Lestrade Police Department led the way, and two police officers he specially selected, one on the left and one on the right, guarded the crowd in the middle, holding orange lanterns in their hands.

It seems that the identity of the police played a role, and they did not encounter any strange crimes along the way.It's just that there seems to be eyes staring at them lurking in the surrounding darkness, making it difficult for them to feel at ease.

"Lestrade Police Department," Xiaolan couldn't help asking, "Why is the crime rate on Baker Street so high?"

This is a topic that everyone cares about.

"Huh? Didn't Holmes tell you? I thought you were the group of children he often called for help..."

"We are, but Mr. Holmes has never told us the specific reason!" Conan said quickly.

What the Lestrade Police Department just said was that Holmes didn't tell them, not why you didn't know. This shows that this is not something that most people know, so Conan explained it in this way.

"Oh...that's it," the Lestrade Police Department was not suspicious of this group of normal-looking children, "If he didn't tell you, I shouldn't have told you, but since he has asked you to help investigate Jack the Ripper case..."

The case of Jack the Ripper is obviously different from other crimes, and the Lestrade Police Department and Sherlock Holmes are obviously paying special attention.

At this moment, the Lestrade Police Department is obviously going to give a mission introduction, and everyone hastened to listen carefully.

"It started two years ago. Two years ago, a factory was built in the center of London, and the factory emitted smoke around the clock. At first, no one paid attention, and such factories can be seen everywhere in London. , this factory is just bigger.

But after that, the crime rate in London began to rise massively.

The smog from factories seems to be able to arouse evil thoughts in people's hearts and make people go on the road of crime, and the denser the smog, the higher the crime rate.Few people realize that the increase in crime is due to the smog...

That's what Holmes told me too.He called this smoke the magic fog. "

No wonder there is an indescribable smell in the air, and the smell is even stronger near Baker Street, where the crime rate is high...

Fengyuan thought in his heart, and the Lestrade police department in front continued to talk.

"Holmes confirmed this by counting the crime rate. He made a series of investigations against the factory, but to no avail.

The procedures for opening a factory are complete... There are many people of high status standing behind it.What makes us feel even more strange is that even Holmes failed to analyze the abnormal components from the magic fog.

His investigation also attracted the attention of the other party.

About half a year ago, the underground pipeline near Baker Street was used by the other party. The concentration of magic fog in the vicinity began to increase, and with it, the crime rate increased.Holmes was fine when he was around, and would-be criminals were afraid of him, but when he wasn't around...that's how it was now. "

"But don't worry, it's okay here during the day," the Lestrade police department went on to say, "I'll send some more patrolling police here tomorrow, and you can also move around by then."

Not only did they send them to Baker Street, but they also patiently explained the mission information. The Lestrade Police Department looked even more friendly.

"So... this is our main mission?" Hui Yuanai whispered to Feng Yuan.

"It should be right." Feng Yuan agreed.

Until the end, no one knows what the ending will be, but they should and can only work hard in this direction now.

And considering that Lestrade just mentioned Moriarty...

Since it is Conan Doyle's novel world, it is quite reasonable to use Moriarty as the final boss.

No criminals standing in your way, 221B Baker Street is here in no time.

The Lestrade Police Department walked in the front and knocked on the door.

He only knocked three times and didn't knock anymore, just waited quietly.

After a while, the lights in the room came on, and there were slight footsteps from the door.But the man didn't open the door directly, but asked in a low voice through the door: "Who?"

"It's me, Lestrade." The Lestrade Police Department replied in a deep voice, "Mrs. Hudson, we have something urgent."

The door opened quietly.

The person who answered the door was an old lady with light blond hair. Fengbara noticed that she was holding a cane in her hand, which was obviously used as a weapon.

"Let's talk first."

Glancing at the crowd outside, Mrs. Hudson stepped out of the way.

Although she was awakened from her sleep, she still actively went to help them prepare refreshments, but the Lestrade Police Department stopped her.

"Mrs. Hudson, these children have serious business."

"Oh... Sherlock Holmes? But he and Dr. Watson are not here now..."

"Can we go in and see if Mr. Holmes has left us any messages?" Conan said. "He told us that if he is not there, we can look for it in the room..."

"Of course you can. You have helped Holmes a lot...Please do yourself a favor, I will prepare some hot milk tea for you..."

She evidently took them for the Baker Street Squad, too.

Everyone walked towards Holmes' room, but the Lestrade Police Department did not follow.He didn't seem to feel that he, like the Baker Street squad, was allowed by Holmes to search for clues in the room.

Walking into Holmes' room, everyone was amazed.

This place is almost exactly the same as in the classic film and television works, Fengyuan can even see the bullet holes on the wall.

Even Sonoko was a little excited, and Mitsuhiko and Ayumi, who are young detectives, were naturally very happy, but then their moods became depressed again, "It would be great if Genta could see it too..."

"It's okay," Xiaolan comforted, "When the game is over, let's tell Mrs. Yuan together, okay?"

"Ok!"

Seeing that the children's emotions recovered a little bit, Xiaolan breathed a sigh of relief, and then couldn't help but think of Shinichi.

If Shinichi found out, he would be very envious...

Just as she was thinking, Xiaolan saw Conan's legs folded on the sofa, his palms pressed together to his mouth, in a state of contemplation.

Like Shinichi...

"Oh, it looks like Sherlock Holmes," Mrs. Hudson came in carrying the tray. "When he's thinking about something, he always puts on that pose..."

what the hell…

So it was just imitating Sherlock Holmes...

Xiaolan suddenly realized.

Conan, like Shinichi, likes Sherlock Holmes very much. Speaking of which, I heard from Conan that Kora's kid seems to be too...

Thinking of this, Xiaolan looked at Fengyuan again, and was startled for a moment.

Feng Yuan was standing in front of the cabinet looking up at the folders and notebooks on the upper floor, also looking like he was thinking, but compared to Conan who was wearing glasses...

Sora also looks like Shinichi...

Xiaolan was slightly lost in thought.

Speaking of which, except for the first time Hattori Heiji came, Sora had never appeared with Shinichi before...

That time she also suspected that Sora and Conan had changed their identities...

When Shinichi called himself, Sora wasn't there either...

Xiaolan shook her head to dispel the thoughts in her head.

really...

How is it possible, Sora and Shinichi have different personalities...

I should just miss Shinichi too much...

Huiyuan, who was standing beside Fengyuan, glanced at Xiaolan without trace of sorrow, and then looked at Fengyuan with a strange expression.

"what happened?"

"...Nothing." Hui Yuanai replied softly, now is not the time to talk about these things.The Lestrade police station is still waiting for their news below, and they can't delay too much time.

Under Conan's instructions, they began to find Holmes' investigation records about Jack the Ripper and the magic fog.

It is worth mentioning that there is a photo of Sherlock Holmes and Watson hanging in the room. The two people in the photo are obviously modified from the prototypes of Yusaku Kudo and Dr. Ali.

Xiaolan, who was also favored by the god of luck in the game, quickly found a notebook with "Research on Jack the Ripper" written on the cover.

Everyone gathered around Conan and watched.

Because Conan watched and read, Fengyuan did not go there, but went on to find other research records, and the same is true for Haibara Ai.

"The most recent case was September 9th," Conan read. "The second victim, Honey Chalster... a 8-year-old woman living alone, was found in the grounds next door to St. Mary's Church in the Whitechapel area. There were two rings of different sizes left at the crime scene...the smaller one was lost in Scotland Yard two days later...the ring was the key."

"The ring is the key?" Conan repeated, a little puzzled. These were the last words written by Holmes alone. "What do you mean?"

"It probably refers to this."

Fengbara spread out another notebook on the table, on which was written "Magic Fog Research", and the page he opened had a photo attached, so he turned to this page at once.

The photo shows a close-up of the bottom of a closed fountain with a ring-shaped groove.
