Conan's other me

Chapter 132 The Devil's Mist City in the Dead Realm ([-])

There are also a few lines of words under the photo, which have been translated into Japanese very thoughtfully.

Conan browsed briefly.

"So, this ring is the key to unlock the mechanism." Conan thought thoughtfully, "But it's a bit strange. In this note, Holmes believes that Jack the Ripper left the ring on purpose, and he stole it back... Judging by the size, it could be his ring as a child..."

"The mechanism is written in the research notes of the magic mist, so it should be created within two years. This means that the mechanism was created after the ring... The person who made the mechanism specially used the ring that existed before as a key to create this mechanism."

Fengbara followed Conan's voice and said.

"Huh?" The others were a little puzzled.

"No wonder Holmes asked the Lestrade Police Department to pay special attention to the case of Jack the Ripper. The ring must still be on him..."

"Hey, can you two speak human language?" Yuanzi asked dissatisfied.

"In short, we want to catch Jack the Ripper, find the ring and activate the mechanism, right?" Hui Yuanai concluded.

"What does the agency do?" Mitsuhiko asked.

"It may be related to the magic mist gushing out of the underground pipeline mentioned by the police department before." Fengyuan replied.

"Besides, it's not hard to guess that Moriarty is what we're going to face in the end," Conan said with a sharp light flashing on the lenses of his glasses, "It's really exciting..."

"This is too troublesome!" Sonoko dissatisfied, "Why don't you just call that...what is the name of Trade and go and arrest the guy named Moriarty?"

"No, Sonoko." Xiao Lan said, "In Conan Doyle's writing, Moriarty is a big man!"

"Moriarty has a good reputation in society." Hui Yuanai added, "He is the master of the British underground world and is extremely influential throughout Europe. He is called the Napoleon of the criminal world. Such a figure even You can break the rules and let the police arrest us, let alone let the police arrest him."

"That's right," Conan agreed, "Besides, we have no evidence of his crime..."

"And no matter how you think about it, there will be no such way of skipping class." This is Mitsuhiko.

"Got it, got it! So we still have to catch Jack the Ripper first, and then, how?"

"..."

A brief silence.

Kudo Shinichi does have the specific date of Jack the Ripper's crime in his memory, such as today, but at this time, what should have happened has already happened, and they can't go to stay.

And the next day when he is suspected of committing a crime is more than a month later. Obviously, they can't wait that long, unless the game suddenly skips the time, but they even have to rely on their legs to walk...

"Yes," Conan's eyes lit up, "Since Jack the Ripper is related to Moriarty, then we can go to Moriarty..."

"Hey, brat," Yuanzi put his hands on his hips to express his dissatisfaction, "I just said that you can't go directly to arrest him..."

"I didn't want to catch him," Conan argued, "I just went to have a look, maybe there might be some clues..."

"But," Xiao Lan said, "Moriarty's whereabouts have always been secretive, we can't find him..."

"Then just find someone related to him."

"Ah, Conan, you mean Colonel Moran, right? He is Moriarty's right-hand man..."

"Hmm! He should be at..."

"No." Hui Yuanai suddenly interrupted, she was flipping through the research notes of the magic mist just now, "This note says that the place where Colonel Moran often appears is the poker club in the city center—"

Conan felt bad.

He knew this too, but if Holmes had written this down in his research notes on the Mist...

"—But it is also written in the notes that it is a place even more exaggerated than Baker Street, and the crime rate is very high even during the daytime. Obviously, it is not a place we can go directly to."

"..."

Conan was a little tired. He was already very sad that he could not meet Holmes as he wished. He didn't expect to have such a hard time meeting a little Colonel Moran.

Judging from the information left by Holmes, it is obvious that catching Jack the Ripper and getting the ring is their next task.

Everyone on the field started to think, and even Sonoko began to try to put himself to sleep, so as to enter the state of reasoning queen. Only Zhu Xingxiu looked through the room boredly. He found a somewhat worn-out football and threw it to Kikukawa and the others. people.

Huiyuan Ai thought for a while before noticing that Fengyuan left the table again and walked towards the cabinet.

"What are you looking for?"

"newspaper."

In Fengyuan's impression, according to the original game flow, Moriarty sent instructions to Jack the Ripper through newspapers.Although the process has been disrupted, he still has some ideas.

"Jack the Ripper and Moriarty are closely related. There must be some way of communication between them. In this era of inconvenient communication, it is both secret and convenient to communicate through newspaper advertisements, and it is often used in novels. This scenario occurs.

So I thought, maybe Moriarty sent orders to Jack the Ripper in the same way.And since Holmes is investigating Jack the Ripper, he must have noticed..."

He remembered that Xiaolan was in...

Feng Yuan recalled a little bit, thinking this way, Hui Yuan Ai next to him walked directly to the cabinet on the other side, and then brought back a stack of newspapers.

"this?"

"...That's right."

After flipping through a few pages, Fengyuan found that the dates of the newspapers were not consecutive, and realized that this should be what he wanted.

This also made Fengyuan a little speechless, because it also meant that his reasoning just now was actually unnecessary.

Those inferences are obviously made by relying on "precognition", and if it is necessary to find clues in this way, then the difficulty of solving puzzles in the game is too exaggerated.

However, that does not appear to be the case now.

The stack of newspapers was apparently kept with the previous Jack the Ripper research notebook.If someone with strong reasoning ability finds this notebook, they should also notice this stack of newspapers.

So this is also a hint given by the game, and it also means that the newspaper is indeed a key clue-sometimes things that seem to be lucky on the surface may also bring bad results.

"What's next?"

"Help see if there is anything in common in the contents of the newspaper."

As Fengyuan said, he gave half of the newspaper to Huiyuan Ai, and the two stood at the table like this and flipped through the newspaper.

Others also noticed the movement of the two, but there was not much space there, and the appearance of the two made people feel that they couldn't penetrate at all, so they didn't go to bother.

Soon, Fengyuan and Huiyuan Ai had a result.

"Go to clean up the podium of St. Mary's Church tonight, M to J..." Hui Yuanai read softly, and then turned to another newspaper, "Today at noon, go to clean up the ground directly under Big Ben, M to J..."

"Go and clean up the carriage that left the station at the latest today, M to J..." Fengyuan also read a sentence, and then exchanged a glance with Huiyuan Ai who was looking over.

"M to J" apparently refers to Moriarty to Jack the Ripper.

These are the orders Moriarty gave to Jack the Ripper.

Holding the newspaper, Fengyuan shared this new clue with everyone.

"And then?" Hideki Morohoshi asked, this didn't seem to help in catching Jack the Ripper.

"Wait." Fengyuan replied, "If you are unlucky and there is no new news in tomorrow's newspaper, then we will find a way to print a fake news in the day after tomorrow's newspaper."

That being said, considering that neither Kudo Yusaku nor Noah's Ark will extend their game time too long, Fengyuan feels that there will be a result tomorrow.

If not...then they have to farm monsters and level up all night, and beat them by force.

……

The Lestrade Police Department was still waiting for their news outside, and after a while Conan provided him with the "message left by Holmes".

Lestrade police are satisfied.

However, he had his own affairs to deal with, and it was impossible to stay here with the Baker Street squad all the time, so he soon returned to Scotland Yard with two of his men, intending to monitor the advertisement information in the newspaper and once again Feng Yuan and the others promised that they would send additional patrols over during the day.

This also means that they can't go out tonight.

Mrs. Hudson offered to let them sleep here for the night.

Already a little tired, and there was no other way, everyone agreed to the proposal, and Conan also fell asleep on Holmes' bed as he wished.

Kaedehara didn't like being crowded together, so he slept on the sofa.The same is true for Hui Yuanai.

Early the next morning, Mrs. Hudson woke them up as scheduled and prepared them hot milk tea and bread for breakfast.

After experiencing eating in the game, everyone found that it was almost the same as in reality.After solemnly thanking Mrs. Hudson, everyone went out cautiously.

There were obviously more pedestrians on the road than in the middle of the night, and it seemed barely normal.The magic mist in the air seemed to be affected by the sunlight, and the indescribable smell became lighter.

"Let's go buy newspapers first... I'll go and have a look nearby..."

"No, Conan!" Xiaolan immediately vetoed, "It's too dangerous for you to be alone, even if it's daytime, it's hard to say..."

"I probably know what we are going to face."

Hui Yuan Ai's voice was very soft, but everyone was still attracted by this sentence.She was looking up at the distant sky at the moment, and everyone followed her gaze.

It was a chimney almost soaring into the sky, black smoke erupted from the top of the chimney, and then pressed down on the city as if falling from the sky.

Black clouds overwhelm the city, and it is suspected that the Heihe River has fallen into the sky.

The spectacle misleads the country.

Thinking that they might have to destroy this thing to pass the level, and the time is running out, everyone's mood became a little lower. After all, they can't stay in the game for too long. Even if their bodies can bear it, other people outside should also worry up.

Speaking of which, they still haven't communicated with any information outside the game, and they don't know the situation outside at all...

After recovering, everyone continued Conan's topic just now.

Conan himself had no fighting power, so he had to tell the truth about his plan—he wanted to go to St. Mary's Church near Whitechapel to see if there were any clues about the murder scene of Jack the Ripper.

There was no objection from the crowd and they planned to go there together.

Walking on the road, there are not many customers in the nearby shops.Forced by life, even in the face of high crime rates, these shops can only continue to open to make ends meet.

Feng Yuan stopped by one of the grocery stores and walked around, and then bought a telescope.

"Where did you get the money?" Conan was a little surprised. Binoculars are not cheap these days. Even if Japanese yen can be used in the game, Fengyuan usually does not carry so much cash with him.

"Borrowed from Holmes."

"..."

"Don't worry, I will definitely return the money to him when I have the chance."

Feng Yuan said solemnly, and then took a telescope to look at the chimney in the distance.

The chimney was tall and wide, with a metal spiral staircase at the base that broke off only two-thirds of the way up.Then the telescope was uploaded in everyone's hands, and everyone was very interested in the chimney.The telescope finally fell into the hands of Hui Yuanai and she kept it.

Soon, they arrived at their destination. Except for two human traffickers who rushed to try to kidnap Ayumi, they did not meet other enemies.

Due to the long time, there are no clues at the scene of the crime.And after that, it is estimated that there have been other murders here.

However, a notice pasted on the door of the church caught Conan's attention, which said "A parent-child charity bazaar will also be held on the second Saturday in October".

Considering that the victim in the case, Hani, died on September 9, which was the second Saturday in September, which meant that she died on the night of the parent-child charity bazaar, which made Conan more convinced that the two rings in the photo were Jack the Ripper and his mother.

Xiaolan on the other side also bought newspapers with the money Fengyuan gave.

Conan hurried back to take the newspaper, and then rummaged through the advertisement column.

Maybe Xiaolan's luck played a role, or maybe it was the game settings, the first newspaper they bought had the information they wanted.

"This is it!"

"Cleaning the opera stage tonight, M to J."

"The Opera House?" Yuanzi complained, "This place is already like this, and there are still people going to the opera?"

"Sister Sonoko, the more you need the power of art at this time!" Mitsuhiko made a different opinion.

"Which TV program did you hear this from?"

"Okay, let's not talk about that for now," Xiaolan interrupted, "M to J...then this should also be a message from Moriarty to Jack the Ripper?"

"That's right." Conan quickly flipped through the other pages of the newspaper, "It should mean that he should kill the actor who performed on stage...There it is! A triumphant performance! The idol of the Warsaw Royal Opera..."

"Irene Adler!" Xiaolan said in surprise.

"Damn it! Moriarty..."

Conan's face darkened.

"Who is this Irene Adler you are talking about?" Hideki Mohohoshi asked.

"It is said that she is the only woman Holmes has ever loved in his life..." Xiaolan explained.

"It means that Moriarty wants to target the woman Holmes loves most," Haibara said, "but why?"

This was obviously aimed at Holmes.

"It should be because of what happened in the early morning?" Fengyuan said, "After the undercover heard that Holmes was investigating Jack the Ripper, he wanted to pass on the news... This is probably revenge or a warning to Holmes..."
