Chapter 491 The cracking method given to the hand

The steam train spewed billowing smoke and slowly drove out of the platform.

Lin Xinyi also took his teammates including Noah's Ark, and rushed into the carriage aggressively before the train started.

The game finally came to the last level.

Because of the customs clearance benefits promised by the system, Lin Xinyi now has the motivation to play this game.

He wished that Jack the Ripper would appear in front of him immediately.

But things are not that simple.

Because Jack the Ripper is "missing".

It's not that he disappeared from the car, but he...

"He should have changed his face."

"Hiding among the passengers of this train."

Conan analyzed solemnly.

As soon as they got on the train, they saw the human skin mask Jack the Ripper dropped when he fled——

Disguise already existed in Sherlock Holmes' world.

Holmes himself knows this well, and even disguised himself as an old Italian priest in "The Last Case", with makeup so realistic that his close friend Dr. Watson could not recognize him.

And since the Jack the Ripper in this world is related to the mysterious Moriarty, he must also have a way to learn disguise.

Now on his escape path, he found a discarded human skin mask.

This shows that the face of the other party's young coachman before is completely a fake face made by disguise.

It might be impossible to find Jack the Ripper based on the appearance he wrote down earlier.

"I understand…"

Lin Xinyi understood the task of this last level.

He looked thoughtfully at Noah's Ark following him:

"You want us to find that Jack the Ripper who changed his face and got in among the passengers on this train?"

"This is the final puzzle?"

Noah's Ark didn't answer, nor gave a hint.

Just like a companion, but also like an audience, with an encouraging smile.

"As long as you crack this last hurdle, you can fulfill your promise just now, right?"

Thinking of the customs clearance benefits promised by the system, Lin Xinyi was full of energy:

"Okay, let's find him now!"

He immediately took his teammates together to search from the last carriage of the train, from the back to the front, and searched one by one to the front of the train.

The carriages of this steam train are not many.

And it was late at night, so there weren't many passengers in the car.

Even staff and passengers, there are only a dozen people in total.

Under the banner of the London police, Lin Xinyi and others flicked and threatened along the way, and quickly gathered all the passengers they saw during the investigation.

They were taken to a carriage at the front of the train and arranged to sit together.

"Aren't you joking?"

"Jack the Ripper, is it really among us?"

Hearing this sensational news, the passengers who were forced to gather couldn't help but feel a little commotion.

They look at me, I look at you:

There are old people, women, young men, well-dressed gentlemen, and plain-clothes civilians.

There are all kinds of people, but they all look ordinary and normal, and none of them look like Jack the Ripper who just came in in disguise.

"Everyone please calm down."

"We'll find a way to get that Jack the Ripper out of you."

Mao Lilan worked hard to maintain order on the scene.

Then, she tentatively asked the dozen or so suspects in front of her:

"Did you notice earlier that anyone came from the back of the train when the train was about to pull out of the platform?"

"This..." Everyone was silent for a while, and finally gave a disappointing answer:

"I do not see it."

"Me too, didn't pay attention to this."

"..."

"This..." Mao Lilan turned her head in some embarrassment: "Mr. Lin, what should we do now?"

She subconsciously looked at Lin Xinyi, with a hint of asking for help in her eyes.

"Hmm..." Conan was in a delicate mood:

Speaking of which, I don't know when to start...

Faced with this kind of reasoning problem, Xiaolan would subconsciously ask Lin Xinyi for help.

He even forgot that he, Kudo Shinichi, was by his side.

But this kind of reasoning game of N choosing 1, which tests thinking and observation skills more, should be the home of a famous detective like him.

You must know that Lin Xinyiqiang is only strong in the knowledge reserve and practical experience in the field of criminal science, and his mind is actually not much more flexible than ordinary people. It is already evident.

The investigation has only just started, and there are limited clues.

Even the famous detective himself didn't come up with a clue, so could Lin Xinyi do better than him?

Xiaolan... you should ask me.

Conan children are habitually eating their imaginary enemies in their hearts...

But Lin Xinyi smiled and replied confidently:

"Haha... don't worry, Miss Maury."

"There are only a dozen suspects here."

"It seems that this last hurdle is easier than I imagined."

"If my predictions are correct...then Jack the Ripper should reveal his true form soon."

"Eh?" Conan was slightly taken aback:

He is still thinking about the solution, why is Lin Xinyi laughing so confidently?

Has this guy really figured out a way to crack it?

But this investigation has only just begun...

The only clue they found after getting into the car was the human skin mask left by Jack the Ripper.

With these few clues, how did Lin Xinyi find a solution?

Is it...

"Is there any clue, it has appeared by our side long ago."

"But I ignored it?"

Conan couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

Right at this very moment...

A flash of lightning flashed behind him, and a flash of light flashed in his mind:

"I understand--"

"Clues should never be found on this train."

"The 'key' to solve this last puzzle was given to us before we got on the train!"

Conan thought of something.

He looked down at his palm:

In the center of that immature palm, there was a deep scar.

This is what was drawn out by the palm and the rein on the road driving here——

In order to steer a fast-moving horse, the driver must hold the reins tightly.

Especially in the final moments of rushing into the train station:

In order to make the carriage slow down quickly and come to a stop quickly, Jack the Ripper and Conan pulled the reins tightly and forcibly reined in the horse's head.

This action requires a lot of strength.

The bridle will definitely leave a very noticeable strangle mark on the palm of the hand.

"Also, the carriage reins are made of cowhide."

"The leather dyeing process in this era is immature. If the palm and the rein are in contact for a long time, it will inevitably be stained with the black dye that falls off from the rein."

Conan carefully looked at the slightly blackened mark on his palm.

Even when the black dye is wiped off, it leaves a strong leathery smell on the palms.

Jack the Ripper fled to the train in a panic, and if he could barely change his clothes and sneak in among the train passengers and staff, that would be considered quick.

It is impossible for him to have time to clean up the marks on his hands.

"That's right..."

"Just find someone with strangle marks on their hands, black dye, leather smell—"
