Conan's other self

The undercover operation means that Moriarty needs to know that Holmes is investigating Jack the Ripper. Time is running out, and the Jack the Ripper case has just happened. The Lestrade Police Department also wants to know the progress of Holmes. .

So he did not delay and planned to accompany the children to Baker Street who "wanted to see if Mr. Holmes had left any hints."

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

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

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

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

It seems that because of the role of the police, they did not encounter any strange criminal incidents along the way. It's just that the surrounding darkness seems to be hiding eyes staring at them, making it difficult for them to feel at ease.

"Lestrade Police Department," Xiaolan couldn't help but ask, "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 children he often asked for help..."

"We are, but Mr. Holmes 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 ordinary people know, so Conan explained it this way.

"Oh...that's it." Police Department Lestrade had no suspicion about these normal-looking children. "If he hadn't told you, I shouldn't have told you, but since he has asked you to help with the investigation, The case of Jack the Ripper..."

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

At this moment, the Lestrade Police Department was obviously going to give a mission introduction, and everyone quickly pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

"This started two years ago. Two years ago, a factory was built in the center of London. This factory emitted smoke day and night. At first, no one cared. Such factories can be seen everywhere in London. , this factory is just bigger.

But after that, London's crime rate began to rise massively.

The smoke emitted from factories seems to arouse evil thoughts in people's hearts and lead them to commit crimes. And where the smoke is thicker, the crime rate is higher. Few people realize that crime rates are increasing because of these smog...

This is what Holmes told me. He called this smoke magic mist. "

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

Feng Yuan was thinking in his mind, and the Lestrade Police Department in front continued.

"Holmes confirmed this by counting crime rates. He conducted a series of investigations into the factory, but to no avail.

The procedures for setting up a factory are very complete...and there are many people of high status standing behind it. What makes us even more surprised is that even Sherlock 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 the crime rate increased accordingly. It was fine when Holmes was around, potential criminals were afraid of him, but when he wasn't... that was it now. "

"But don't worry, this place is fine during the day," Lestrade Police Department continued, "I will send more patrol police here tomorrow, and you can also move around nearby by then."

Not only did they specially send them to Baker Street, but they also patiently explained the mission information, making the Lestrade Police Department seem more friendly.

"So...this is our main mission?" Haiyuan Ai whispered to Fengyuan.

"It should be right." Fengyuan agreed.

No one knows what the outcome will be until the end, but they obviously should and can only work in this direction now.

And considering that Lestrade just mentioned Moriarty...

Since this is the world of Conan Doyle's novels, it makes sense to use Moriarty as the final boss.

With no criminals standing in the way, 221B Baker Street arrived quickly.

Police Department Lestrade walked at the front and knocked on the door.

He only knocked three times and then stopped knocking, just waiting quietly.

After a while, the lights came on in the room, and there were slight footsteps from the other side of the door. However, the man did not open the door directly, but whispered through the door: "Who?"

"It's me, Lestrade." Police Officer Lestrade 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. Fengyuan noticed that she was holding a cane in her hand, which was obviously used as a weapon.

"Come in first and then talk."

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

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

"Mrs. Hudson, these kids have something important to do."

"Oh... You're looking for Holmes, right? But neither he nor Dr. Watson are here right now..."

"Can we go in and see if Mr. Holmes has left any message for us?" Conan said. "He told us to go search the room if he is not there..."

"Of course. You have helped Holmes a lot...please help yourself, I will prepare some hot milk tea for you..."

She apparently thought of them as the Baker Street Squad, too.

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

Everyone was amazed when they walked into Holmes' room.

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

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

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

"Um!"

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

If Shinichi knew about it, he would be very envious...

Just as she was thinking about it, Xiaolan saw Conan's legs folded on the sofa, his palms together against his mouth, as if in deep thought.

Looks like Shinichi...

"Oh, it looks like Sherlock Holmes," Mrs. Hudson walked in with a tray. "When he is thinking about something, he always assumes that posture..."

what the hell…

Turns out I was just imitating Sherlock Holmes...

Xiaolan suddenly realized.

Conan, the kid, likes Sherlock Holmes as much as Shinichi. Speaking of which, I heard from Conan that Sora, the kid, seems to be the same...

Thinking like this, Xiaolan looked at Fengyuan again, and then was startled.

Maplehara was standing in front of the cabinet with his head raised and looking at the folders and notebooks placed on the upper floor. He was also thinking about it, but compared to Conan who was wearing glasses...

Sora also looks like Shinichi...

Xiaolan was slightly in a trance.

Speaking of which, except for Hattori Heiji's first visit, Kosora has never appeared with Shinichi...

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

When Shinichi called him, Xiaokong wasn't there either...

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

Really…

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

I probably just miss Shinichi too much...

Haiyuan, who was standing next to Fengyuan, glanced at Xiaolan without leaving any trace, and then looked at Fengyuan with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?"

"...Nothing." Hui Yuan Ai replied softly. Now is not the time to talk about this. The Lestrade Police Department is still waiting for their news below, and they cannot delay too much time.

Under Conan's instructions, they began to look for Holmes's investigative records about Jack the Ripper and the Mist.

It is worth mentioning that there is a photo of Holmes and Watson hanging in the room. The two people in the photo are obviously based on Yusaku Kudo and Dr. Agasa.

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 was watching and reading, Maplehara did not go there, but continued to look for other research records, and the same was true for Haibara Ai.

"The most recent case was on September 8," Conan read. "The second victim, Honey Charles... a 41-year-old woman who lived alone. The body was found in the vacant lot next door to St. Mary's Church in the Whitechapel area. Two rings of different sizes were left at the crime scene...the smaller one was lost at Scotland Yard two days later...the ring was the key."

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

"That's probably what it means."

Fengyuan spread out another notebook on the table. The notebook said "Demon Mist Research". There was a photo on the page he opened, so he turned to this page at once.

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