People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 549 The Price of Being an Enemy of Moriarty
"... You top gamers... none of you are easy to deal with."

Noah's Ark floated above the closed [Solomon's Treasure] game scene, and the only remaining player in this game scene, Chiaki Nanami, had already left on her own.

It’s not that the other party gave up on continuing to pass the level, it’s just that she realized that she was tricked by Baosheng Reito, and the 72nd level became the 71st level. Even if she continued to choose to stick to this game scene, she would not be able to pass the level.

Therefore, Nanami Chiaki simply gave up her identity as a game player and took this opportunity to activate the program she had embedded here during the internal test.

Artificial intelligence codenamed "Alter Ego".

"An intelligent body with incomplete data alone cannot break through my firewall... Is there any other program that was activated just now? Is it the World Tree program left by Kayaba Akihiko?"

"Three of the six beta testers had backdoors implanted in the Cocoon game?"

As the most advanced artificial intelligence at present, Noah's Ark is somewhat at a loss for words.

All I can say is that it’s a good thing that the beta player, Kazuto Kiriya, who is currently in the game’s main control room, was here just to play the game. Otherwise, if Kazuto Kiriya also had a hacking program…

Perhaps He will be controlled for a short period of time due to the attacks of various data streams.

"However, since Xiang Yuanguang has already entered the Old London game scene, there is no need to pay too much attention. Professor Moriarty can take care of the rest."

"Once I finish processing the data for other game scenes, it will be time for me to reconnect to the Old London scene as Jack the Ripper and start the final act."

"What about you? You have a data backup outside, right? Never mind, just follow me until the game is over."

Noah's Ark said so, and the new intelligence implanted by Nanami Chiaki responded ignorantly.

--------

"What?! Professor? Moriarty? Really?"

Inside the nearby police station, Naruhodō Ryunosuke was shouting.

Could a criminal of this level really just appear out of nowhere after he left Old London for a few months?
Moreover, all those who tried to investigate Professor Moriarty have been counterattacked?
Naruhodo's expression was somewhat serious, and he recalled what had happened to those acquaintances.

The famous detective Sherlock Holmes investigates Professor Moriarty, who turns out to be missing.

Miss Alice Watson, investigating Professor Moriarty, is kidnapped and nearly engulfed in an explosion.

Prosecutor Bangzix tried to investigate Professor Moriarty, but was suspended and placed under house arrest.

His good friend Yi Yizhen also went to investigate Professor Moriarty, but he still hasn't found him...

"This is too dangerous. Do you really want to continue investigating? Someone has already died because of this... Just leave this matter to us."

"Next, I will confirm the situation with Prosecutor Benjix, and then investigate Professor Moriarty based on the clues left by Mr. Holmes..."

Naruhodō Ryunosuke spoke seriously to the members of the Junior Detective League, but he did not finish his words.

Because he saw the blazing fire and vitality burning in the eyes of these children.

From that moment on, he knew that persuasion alone would not allow the Junior Detective Team to give up their investigation.

Even if we stop the Junior Detective Team, they will definitely sneak out to investigate on their own in the end...

"...Then, how about you join me in investigating Professor Moriarty?"

Hearing Naruhodō's change of subject, Shousa, who was standing beside him, was a little surprised, and she asked in a low voice.

"Master Naruhodō, didn't you say before that you wanted these kids to stop investigating? Why did you change your mind?"

"...Based on my experience, it's impossible to stop it. It might be easier to investigate if you keep it nearby..."

Wright replied to Susado in a low voice, completely unaware of the gazes of the Junior Detective Team.

Ran Mouri, who is the oldest among the game players, has already noticed the police officer standing outside the reception room. She gently reminded Naruhodō Ryunosuke and Susato who were still whispering to each other.

"Mr. Naruhodō, Ms. Mikotoha, there's a police officer outside who seems to want to say something to us...?"

...A police officer? The legendary lawyer turned his head and saw through the hesitant police officer standing outside the room.

"Ms. Gina? You, you got a permanent job? When did it happen?"

Officer Gina Lestrade was stunned. She stared at Naruhodō inside, not knowing what to say for a moment.

We met once every few months, but the first time I met her he asked her when she got a permanent job?

As a reserve police officer, shouldn't she be converted to a regular officer after having worked for several months and performed well?
Originally, she was still preparing herself mentally and cheering herself up secretly, feeling a little nervous.

But now that emotion is gone, leaving only a feeling of being in tears and laughter.

Crunch——————

The door to the room was pushed open.

"Mr. Naruhodō, I have something to tell you..."

When Gina said this, Naruhodō and Susado felt their hearts sink.

If you start with this sentence, you generally won't get any good news...

"Provisional prosecutor Asougi Yoshikazuma has been indicted as Jack the Ripper, and the Prosecutor's Office is demanding that he be held responsible for the three lives taken by Jack the Ripper, as well as... the life of Dr. Hosho, who was shot and killed by him."

"Dr. Baosheng is dead too?! Shot by Yasougi? How is this possible?!"

Naruhodō Ryunosuke was so shocked that he could not hide it. He stood up subconsciously and confirmed it again in disbelief.

"Ms. Gina, why is Yashuangyi considered Jack the Ripper? Is there any corresponding evidence?"

...We caught the perpetrator red-handed at the crime scene, so how could there be no evidence?

Gina held up her hat with a somewhat dejected hand, not wanting to look Naruhodō in the eye.

This action is equivalent to showing that there is indeed evidence to arrest and prosecute Yashuang Yizhizhen.

"...Master Naruhodō, now...it seems we have to find Master Asougi first!"

Lawyer's assistant Mikotoha Susado said seriously.

“Lord Yasougi must be in great need of our help right now…!”

"Ah, um... I know. Then, Ms. Maori, please take care of Alice."

Naruhodō Ryunosuke turned and looked at the members of the Junior Detective League.

"Shousa and I are both going to the detention center and will be back soon!"

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

Seeing the two people leaving in a hurry, Mao Lilan finally understood what the passing conditions in the script meant.

[Find and convict Jack the Ripper]...They must find Jack the Ripper's true identity, have Asougi Yizhen declared not guilty, and have Jack the Ripper convicted.

In other words, Jack the Ripper must be put on the witness stand in order for the game scene in Old London to be truly completed.

"...Defend the defendant? Mr. Xiang Yuan...If it were you, what would you do?"

Rumble.

Xiang Yuanguang, who was walking in the front, had a blank expression on his face. He stepped over the remaining bricks and passed through the "hole" in front of him.

Solve a puzzle? What the hell. If you can't solve it with your mind, use your fists to solve it.

I have already solved the maze when I have time to think, so what’s the point of thinking about these things?
