People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 529 Nag Sherlock Holmes

"Hmm... Why is it that I feel like I was hit by a club for no apparent reason?"

The female detective Nanatsuki Koshimizu slowly opened her eyes, covered her painful forehead, and looked around.

If she was not mistaken, this seemed to be a place similar to a prison cell. Was the environment of the cocoon game so harsh?
So, what about the other game players? Where is Haibara Ai? Where is Conan? Where is Mao Lilan? Are they all gone?
Nanatsuki Koshimizu rubbed his forehead and finally focused his attention on the unknown person in the corner.

"…La la la, our famous detective…"

“…Ohhhh, your name…”

"…your name is known to everyone…"

The female detective quietly approached the strange man who was humming a song.

This guy had been humming in the corner for quite a while, but he just kept singing the same tune over and over again without saying his name.

Although, even if this guy didn't say it, Nanatsuki Koshimizu knew what name the other party was going to say.

In the fictitious late 19th century, a famous detective was known to everyone...

Without a doubt, it was Sherlock Holmes.

"…So, what is your relationship with that Sherlock Holmes?"

She stood behind the weirdo and asked with some confusion.

"Are they close? So close that you even sing about his deeds when you're bored..."

"...?"

The strange man's body froze, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at Nanatsuki Koshimizu behind him.

"Uoooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

He suddenly turned around and jumped up like a spring, taking some inexplicable steps.

He clenched his fists and waved them in the air in front of him. He looked like he was very good at fighting, but in fact he had no idea what he was doing.

As a legal assistant who often watches high-end fighting games and has close relationships with high-end fighting players.

Nanatsuki Koshimizu just subconsciously took two steps back and completely disappeared from the attack range of this strange guy.

"Hey! Don't interrupt my singing! I'm just about to sing the key part!"

"I'm going to use my proud [Boxing] to knock you to the ground!"

This weirdo was speaking some weird words that were hard to understand, although his lip movements seemed to indicate that he was speaking English...

However, all the words that Nanatsuki Koshimizu could hear were in Japanese, as if the game had been intentionally adjusted.

The female detective sighed, shook her head helplessly, and then spoke.

"I don't know who you are, but I think your boxing skills are not up to par."

"At least you have to move fast enough to dodge bullets, to be considered something you can be proud of, right?"

...Are you kidding me? What do you mean by fast enough to dodge bullets?

The strange man paused, as if he could not understand the novel metaphor proposed by Koshimizu Nanatsuki.

However, thanks to the ridicule, the weirdo stopped showing off his boxing skills and became a little more serious.

I saw him pointing the fingers of his left hand at the brim of his hat, and supporting the elbow of his other hand with his other hand.

He said confidently in a look that looked very familiar, but seemed like it shouldn't be on this person.

"Haven't you already mentioned my true identity? Don't you know who I am now?"

"Come on, come on, come on, hurry up and say my name loudly! I won't blame you for being surprised!"

"…I just mentioned Sherlock Holmes."

Nanatsuki Koshimizu raised her eyebrows and repeated the name she had mentioned before. Come to think of it, the other person's appearance was indeed very similar to the impression of Sherlock Holmes.

The pipe hanging at the waist, the brown coat and hat, the classic reasoning look...

but……

"Isn't it a bit disrespectful to COS principles to hang a pair of binoculars on your cap?"

The female detective complained that this pair of telescope alone was enough to kick the other party off Holmes' list.

Hearing this, the weirdo seemed to have heard something extremely funny. He bent over with laughter, covering his stomach with one hand and holding his hat with the other hand to prevent it from falling off due to excessive movement.

"Hahahahahahahahahaha, as expected, people in your country are really good at telling jokes."

He laughed and laughed until he seemed tired and returned to normal, breathless.

"I am the Sherlock Holmes of whom you have just spoken."

…It turned out to be Sherlock Holmes.

Koshimizu Nanatsuki nodded thoughtfully, probably because he was a comedy character with two more names.

Nag Sherlock Holmes straightened up and turned to look at the door of the cell, a little more serious.

"I was just waiting for you to wake up, but because I was so bored, I went to count the number of cracks on the wall."

“It’s surprising that although the furnishings here look old, there are very few cracks.”

"Well, a brand new product... that's probably it?"

When the famous detective said this, he seemed to be amused by his own humor and was about to burst into laughter.

But he was taken back by the merciless stare of the female detective, causing him to sigh.

"Hey, you're much more boring than the two friends I know...Okay, let's get back to the topic."

Sherlock Holmes took the pipe from his waist and put it to his lips subconsciously.

From this moment on, the other party really had some sense of déjà vu of being the legendary detective.

"As a famous detective in London, I seem to be targeted by the man who calls himself the Professor..."

"They used some special means to knock me out and bring me here while I was conducting a routine investigation."

"Under normal circumstances, the noise I just made would be enough to attract the guards here to the underground prison."

"But now those guards haven't come... Do you find it strange? The mysterious Orientals?"

...In other words, the guard who was supposed to come did not come. Could something have happened outside?
Nanatsuki Koshimizu frowned. She felt that this kind of thing was unlikely if something unexpected happened.

She and Nag Sherlock Holmes have been underground for so long, it's time for others to find this place.

Could it be that the other party simply gave up on this place, along with the people inside?

This possibility is a bit too ridiculous...

(No…it’s entirely possible since this is a kid’s game adventure.)
There was a gleam in the female detective's eyes.

The impossible game lets little kids fight against strong prison guards to escape the prison.

Therefore, in order to prevent the game from getting stuck, the guards who restricted the actions of the characters in the plot were removed in advance.

Moreover, since it is unlikely that children will master the lock-picking skills, there are still chains on the cell doors...

"… Mr. Nag Sherlock Holmes, if you have anything to say, please unlock the door first and talk outside."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki said with certainty.
