Coroner Ke Xue

The time in the game is September 30th, one o'clock in the morning!

Not only did the details of the case match up now, but the time of the case also matched.

Obviously, the "opening CG" played by the system to everyone is the third case committed by Jack the Ripper in history.

The fourth case occurred between 1:30 and 1:45 today.

The crime took place in Bishop's Square.

The time and place are clear. Now that Lin Xinyi and Mao Lilan, the two masters of the "Pistol Realm", have gone there in advance to ambush, are they still afraid that Jack the Ripper will be captured without hesitation?

That's what everyone thinks.

Then

"You guys, stop!"

Lin Xinyi and his party had just finished asking the onlookers for directions, but before they had time to leave the scene of the crime, they headed to the Bishop's Square where the next case occurred.

Someone stopped them with a serious tone.

It's the patrolmen of Scotland Yard in London.

They were of little use in handling the case, but the speed at which the police were dispatched was admirable.

Lin Xinyi just stood there and discussed the clearance strategy for a while. Over there, the two patrol officers who discovered the body at the beginning, as if by magic, hurriedly called a large number of fellow patrol officers.

As soon as these police officers arrived at the scene, they bumped into the players who were about to leave the scene:

"Are you all witnesses?"

"We haven't asked you anything yet, why are you leaving in a hurry?"

"This" Lin Xinyi was speechless for a moment:

Indeed, logically speaking, they are all witnesses and should stay here to cooperate with the police investigation.

But Jack the Ripper will continue to commit crimes in half an hour.

If I stayed here and cooperated with the police investigation, how could I have time to stop the murderer?

hiss.

No wonder the place of birth is listed here.

Is this also an obstacle designed by the system in advance to prevent them from "clearing the prologue in half an hour"?

Lin Xinyi quietly realized that this level might not be that easy to pass.

Seeing that Lin Xinyi and others were all silent, the attitude of the policemen became more vigilant:

"You are not allowed to leave until we ask clearly about the situation!"

"Yeah." Lin Xinyi felt a headache coming on.

He turned to his reliable teammates such as Conan, Haibara Ai, and Mao Lilan, and exchanged countermeasures with his eyes:

Now how to do?

Forced to leave?

Their force value is indeed pretty good.

But now that the police are outnumbered and carrying pistols at their waists, it is really dangerous to force their way in.

And if they run away like this, they will somehow become Scotland Yard's most wanted criminals.

Maybe Jack the Ripper was not caught by then, and he was arrested by the London police first and took the blame.

But if you don't break in by force.

How to get away and ambush Jack the Ripper?

Do we have to watch helplessly as such a good opportunity to pass the level slips away from our hands tonight?

"Let's find a way to convince Scotland Yard."

"Let them cooperate with us to ambush Jack the Ripper?"

Conan proposed this strategic idea.

Lin Xinyi fully agrees with this:

If these London police officers could be persuaded that Jack the Ripper would commit another crime half an hour later.

Then not only would they be able to solve this trouble, but they would also be a blessing in disguise, having such a large group of police officers to help.

But this is easier said than done?

"How to convince them?"

Lin Xinyi and Conan stared at each other. After thinking for a while, they couldn't figure out how to convince these unkind-looking police officers to believe in such absurd "prophecies":

Could it be that today we can only be stuck in this "wall of air" and cannot go anywhere?

It is indeed a pseudo-open world!

Lin Xinyi complained silently in his heart.

And just then.

Outside the already extremely lively scene, there was a neighing of horses.

The sound of horse hooves accompanied the rolling wheels, carrying a big man to the scene:

"It's Sergeant Lestrade!"

"You came so soon?!"

The patrol officers respectfully gathered around and welcomed the middle-aged police officer who stepped out of the carriage.

"I happen to be at Whitechapel Police Station."

"When I heard that Jack the Ripper committed another crime, I drove over immediately."

Under the dim light, Lestrade's calm and capable voice came.

"Officer Lestrade?!"

Conan's eyes were filled with stars:

It’s like meeting the original characters!

Although he is not his favorite Sherlock Holmes or Moriarty, he is still a character with a considerable background!

He immediately greeted me with gleaming eyes with the same enthusiastic attitude as if he was waiting for someone to pick him up at the airport.

He went up to him and looked at the Lestrade police officer.

This is quite a restoration of the original work.

In the original work, Lestrade is said to be "a short, stocky man as strong as a bulldog."

And Lestrade in this game is indeed short and stocky.

He is also short and chubby, making him look familiar:

"M-Mou Mu Police Department."

Conan's enthusiasm for chasing stars suddenly waned by half.

Yes, this Officer Lestrade looks very similar to the Memu Police Department.

At first glance, it looks like the personal goods of the game producer Conan:

The Megure Police Department is also very familiar with Kudo Yusaku——

No way, who made him the old background board?

It turns out that when Kudo Yusaku was still active in the country, it was the Megure Police Department who was advocating for him.

Later, Kudo Shinichi, the "Savior II", succeeded to the throne, and Megure Police Department diligently accompanied him to the newspaper.

Later, he was responsible for accompanying Lin Xinyi

A cool detective and a tough-as-nails police officer.

Fortunately, there were successors in the Search Section 1, and gradually Sato, Takagi, Shiratori and others were able to take over the task of serving as background boards, which would not make the Megure Police Department so hard.

"not good."

Lin Xinyi's heart sank:

This Lestrade looks so much like the Chief of Police.

Doesn’t that mean that in the setting of Yusaku Touji, the game producer, their level of case handling is similar?

Lin Xinyi had a bad feeling in his heart.

really

I saw that "Officer Lestrade" exchanged a few words with the on-site patrol officer in a low voice, and then came over with a serious face:

"What are your names?"

"Why did you rush to leave the scene just now?"

Lestrade's expression was very serious.

"Oops." Lin Xinyi was very familiar with this expression:

Every time the Memu Police Department shows this expression, it will randomly "unjustly accuse" a suspect at the scene, and then help everyone eliminate a correct option.

And now, the objects of Lestrade's suspicion are obviously these "suspicious" players.

"What are you doing in Whitechapel at night with so many children?"

"This place is full of vile people at night. Is it suitable for children?"

There was more hesitation in Lestrade's tone.

"us."

Lin Xinyi didn't know how to answer for a while:

Is this arranged by the system to make things difficult for them?

He was involved in a murder case as soon as he arrived, and now he has his water meter checked by Scotland Yard.

He even asked them why they were here?

Wasn't it your Noah's Ark who arranged this?

If the NPCs continue to be so serious, players like them won't even be able to get the "Certificate of Good Citizenship" from the British Empire - they will all be suspicious characters with unknown origins and unknown identities.

Lin Xinyi couldn't speak for a long time.

Lestrade's gaze became increasingly dangerous.

Even the patrol officers on the side quietly touched the police guns on their waists, pretending to be watching and preparing for attack.

"Officer Lestrade!"

At the critical moment, Conan stood up.

There was a confident smile on his lips, as if he had come up with something:

"Don't waste your time here."

"Please send someone to stay near the Bishop's Square as soon as possible——"

"Jack the Ripper is likely to continue committing crimes there tonight, and we must capture him as soon as possible!"

"What?" Lestrade was stunned for a while.

No matter who hears this “prophecy” without beginning or end, they will be shocked and doubtful:

"child."

"How do you know Jack the Ripper would be there to continue his crimes?"

Lestrade asked hesitantly.

But Conan is still confident:

If Lestrade hadn't come, he would probably be like Lin Xinyi, thinking that this opening is an "air wall" set by the game for players, a "game prologue" with no other plot options.

And now Lestrade is here.

The breakthrough was found:

"Mr. Holmes told me."
