Doesn't that mean... in the setting of the game producer Yusaku Artificial Teng, their level of handling cases is similar?

Lin Xinyi had a bad premonition in his heart.

really…

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

"What are your names?"

"Why did you leave the scene in a hurry just now?"

Lestrade's expression was serious.

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

Every time the Mumu Police Department shows this expression, it will randomly "wrong" a suspect at the scene, and then help everyone rule out a correct option.

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

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

"The people who come and go in this place at night are all dirty people. Is it suitable for children?"

Lestrade was more hesitant in his tone.

"us…"

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

Is this a system arrangement to make things difficult for them?

He was involved in a murder case as soon as he came, and now he has to be checked by Scotland Yard on the water meter.

Why did they even ask them here?

Wasn't it arranged by you Noah's Ark?

If the NPCs continue to be so serious, these players will not even be able to produce the "good citizen certificate" of the British Empire-one check will confirm that they are all suspicious people with unknown origins and identities.

Lin Xinyi couldn't speak for a long time.

Lestrade's gaze grew more and more dangerous.

Even the patrolmen on the side quietly touched the police guns on their waists, pretending to be ready to go.

"Officer Lestrade!"

At the critical moment, Conan stood up.

There was a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he had figured out something:

"Don't waste your time here."

"Please send someone to squat 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.

No matter who hears this endless "prophecy", they will be stunned and suspicious:

"child."

"How do you know that Jack the Ripper will continue to commit crimes there?"

Lestrade asked hesitantly.

But Conan is still confident:

If Lestrade hadn't come, he would probably be the same as 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 came.

The breakthrough was also found:

"Mr. Holmes told me."

Chapter 480 Adaptation is not random

Conan used his sweet childish voice to say the answer he used to break the game:

That's right, under the name of Sherlock Holmes!

The relationship between Lestrade and Holmes is roughly equivalent to that between Megure Police Department and Kudo Shinichi.

If it was Holmes' arrangement, Lestrade would certainly listen.

"Mr. Holmes?"

Sure enough, upon hearing Holmes' name, Officer Lestrade quietly changed his expression:

"You know Mr. Holmes?"

"That's right." Conan replied clearly, "We are Mr. Holmes' assistants."

"assistant?"

"you?"

Looking at the group of primary school students in front of him, Lestrade once again had doubts in his tone.

But Conan replied calmly:

"That's right..."

"We're the 'Baker Street Detectives'!"

He confidently used the identity of the "Baker Street Detective Squad" in the original book——

In the original story, Holmes originally hired such a group of street children as assistants in handling the case.

And with the title of "Holmes' assistant" as a signboard, the appearance of these children at this dangerous crime scene at night is not so suspicious.

"Is it…"

The doubt in Lestrade's eyes eased slightly.

But he still asked very cautiously:

"Do you have any way to prove it?"

"Yes." This did not bother Conan: "Officer Lestrade, I can tell you some secrets that Mr. Holmes told us himself."

"For example...you, Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson investigated the disappearance of Lord San Simeon's bride."

Conan is referring to the "Noble Single Case" in the original work.

This case happened in 1888. From the timeline, Lestrade in the game world should have just experienced it.

The case is also very simple:

Lord San Simeon's new wife goes missing on her wedding day.

Police officers Scotland Yard and Lestrade, who had initially been in charge of investigating the case, thought the bride had fallen to her death by accident.

However, Holmes found out afterwards that the truth of the matter was:

The bride's "ex-husband who died in the accident" was not actually dead. When she came back, she found that her wife was going to marry someone else, so she eloped with her lover.

Lord San Simeon wore a green hat on his head, and in the end he had to generously forgive his ex-husband and wife who eloped.

This is certainly disgraceful to the nobility.

Therefore, the police officers Lestrade, Dr. Watson, and Sherlock Holmes who participated in the investigation all kept this matter secret from the outside world in line with the professional ethics of detectives.

The truth of the case is currently unknown to the outside world.

But Conan can clearly say the details:

"Because that's what Mr. Holmes told us."

"He often tells his detective stories to us little assistants to exercise our reasoning ability."

Conan is totally in the game.

His acting skills are usually so clumsy that he doesn't look like his mother's own, but now he plays the role of the assistant of the idol in his dreams, and he can act perfectly.

And it was played by Conan.

Sergeant Lestrade really had some letters:

"You know the truth about Lord St. Simon's case."

"It seems that Mr. Holmes does have confidence in you."

"so…"

Under Conan's persuasive temptation, Lestrade himself helped to concoct a lie:

"You are all 'little detectives' sent by Mr. Holmes to assist in the investigation of the Jack the Ripper case?"

"Yeah!" Conan nodded happily.

"Jack the Ripper may commit crimes again in Bishop's Square. Mr. Holmes also told you this information?"

"Yes."

In the name of Sherlock Holmes, even this unreasonable "prophecy" sounds much more reasonable.

Who made this the omniscient detective Sherlock Holmes?
