"Then when did he tell you this information and ask you to come and investigate?"

Conan: "..."

He already faintly felt something was wrong.

This Lestrade doesn't seem to be as easy to fool as the Mumu Police Department.

The other party asked more and more detailed questions, forcing him to make up more lies to cope.

"when…"

How is this going to be done?

Conan racked his brains and thought for a while:

On September 1888, 9, at this time, Holmes should not have gone out to handle any cases, right?

Yes, Holmes should still be in London, still living at home——

The game is definitely set up that way.

Otherwise, wouldn't the player not be able to find the mainline NPC?

Thinking of this, Conan suddenly became confident.

So he tentatively replied:

"Just today."

"Mr. Holmes called us to his home, 221B Baker Street, and told us these things himself."

"The landlady, Mrs. Hudson, made us her best black tea herself!"

Conan casually reveals more details about Holmes.

To show their familiarity with Holmes.

But Lestrade was silent for a moment.

The silence was startling.

Conan has a scalp trouble:

Why... Is there something wrong with what I said?

He is a famous detective, but he can't even fool the "Lestrade" played by Mumu Police Department?

This…

Conan looked at the face of "Meguru Police Department", feeling unprecedented frustration in his heart:

No matter who you lose to, you can't lose to the Megure Police Department, right?

This is too embarrassing for the detective!

After struggling for a while, Conan had to use his trump card:

"Officer Lestrade."

"Now is not the time to hesitate, please trust me."

"I'm really Mr. Holmes' most trusted assistant. He has many important cases, and he asks us children to help—"

"For example, the case of Miss Irene Adler, do you know?"

This is Conan's killer feature:

The most talked about case in the original work happened in March 1888, "A Scandal in Bohemia"!

Because there is a charming female character in this case, Irene Adler!

She is a legendary woman whose wisdom even Holmes has to admire.

Although the characters are legendary, the facts of this case are not complicated:

The hereditary king of Bohemia wants to protect his royal reputation by asking ex-girlfriend Irene Adler for the intimate photos he took during their relationship.

Mr. Holmes accepted the commission from the king, but not only failed to help the king get back the photo, but was also posed by that Miss Irene Adler in reverse.

in short…

This is the story of a big man who asked a private detective to retrieve private photos from his ex-girlfriend and erase his dark history in order to avoid the same fate as Guan Xige.

Mori Kogoro, as an emotional detective, usually takes this kind of work.

But because the protagonist this time is the King of Bohemia.

The reputation of the royal family cannot be slandered and offended, let alone the slightest stain.

Therefore, this case became the case with the highest level of secrecy among Holmes.

Conan couldn't guarantee whether Holmes would share this case with his best friend Lestrade.

But if Lestrade knew, and he told the truth about the case—

That is enough to prove that, like him, Lestrade, he is one of Mr. Holmes' most trusted friends.

"Later, Miss Irene left London with her new husband, and before leaving, she left a letter to Mr. Holmes, explaining everything to him."

"Mr. Holmes showed us that letter afterwards!"

"He said it was a 'remarkable lady who completely changed his view of women' and told us not to underestimate the wisdom of women in the future."

Between Conan's words, he seemed to regard himself as Holmes' personal disciple.

And the details of the "A Scandal in Bohemia" case he mentioned are enough to prove Holmes' unreserved trust in him.

If all goes well, Lestrade should now believe that Conan is Holmes' assistant.

Otherwise, how could Holmes secretly tell him such an important royal scandal as a teaching material?

Conan thought so.

Then he looked at Lestrade confidently again.

And Lestrade's response was:

"Ha ha."

A burst of angry sneer:

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"You bastard, you don't know Mr. Holmes at all, do you?"

"This..." Conan's face sank:

Actually found the problem?

how so…

Is there anything I said wrong?

"Of course!"

Lestrade said angrily:

"I was almost fooled by you when you mentioned Lord Simmons' case at first."

"But later, when I asked you when you met Mr. Holmes, you said it was today, in Baker Street."

"That's already nonsense—"

"Mr. Holmes has been to Dartmoor with Dr. Watson these days, and is not in London at all!"

"Huh?" Conan was dumbfounded:

Holmes went to Dartmoor with Watson, not in London?

Dartmoor, this case is...

The Hound of the Baskervilles?

That's not right--

Didn't The Hound of the Baskervilles take place in 1889?

It's still 1888!

Conan was taken aback.

Just listen to Police Officer Lestrade continue to say sternly:

"Then you mentioned Miss Irene Adler, who left London with her new husband in March—"

"This is even more ridiculous!"

"Miss Irene Adler is still single and still performing in London!"

"Where does she get a new husband?"

"How could Holmes have pursued her if she already had a husband?"

Conan: "..."

As a fan of the original book, he just wants to explode now:

How is it that Irene Adler is still single?

In the original work, she married a lawyer in March 1888. Why is she still single now?

Also, Sherlock Holmes, a man who "love belongs to the category of emotions, but any emotion runs counter to true and calm reasoning, so I put reasoning above everything else"...

How could he have an emotional scene?

Also formed a CP with the "single" Miss Irene?

"Oops…"

Conan suddenly realized what:

"It won't be my dad who changed the plot randomly when he designed the game."

"The changed character design and story timeline don't match the original work, do they?"

"This…"

Didn't this make my son miserable?
