People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 559: Reichenbach's Fall
The so-called Professor Moriarty is Xiang Yuanguang.

However, Conan was a little bit unbelievable about this, because he knew that at the beginning of the simulation of the cocoon game, some important characters should have been created based on the data of certain real people.

Just like at the beginning, his father, Kudo Yusaku, tried to let Holmes use his data directly, and then let Irene use his mother, Kudo Yukiko's data...

In other words, in the simulation of the cocoon game, is it possible for Xiang Yuanguang to become the legendary criminal?

"…Are you really Xiang Yuanguang? Or is this just a disguise mask?"

The Death God Elementary School Student was a little bit unconvinced. He stared at the image projected in front of him and asked this.

In the real world, it is not uncommon to find special people who can perfectly disguise themselves as other people, even with their voices and body shapes being exactly the same. Professor Moriarty may be one of them.

The appearance of Xiang Yuanguang is just the appearance that Professor Moriarty chose to use...

Although Conan thought so, he couldn't even convince himself of this guess.

According to what his father mentioned in the previous brief communication, Xiang Yuanguang should have used other game simulation cabins to access the game some time after they entered the game.

Moreover, he was excluded from the game scene Old London and had no chance of entering Old London at all. There was no such person as Xiang Yuanguang in Old London, so how could Moriarty disguise himself as Xiang Yuanguang?
After much thought, there is only one final conclusion——————

"Mask? No, not a mask, I am Xiang Yuanguang."

Professor Moriarty's voice was as calm as ever, and he seemed to have no emotional fluctuations at all about Conan's surprised expression, but gradually he looked a little puzzled.

"No, to be precise, I'm James Moriarty. It wasn't until you entered the game that I became Xiang Yuanguang - because I unpacked the data that Noah's Ark had not deleted."

"I'm very confused as to why I in the real world have become like this."

Professor Moriarty asked, as if they were chatting about family matters between friends.

"You know what? Kudo Shinichi, do you know why I have become like this?"

"…What do you mean by that?"

Although Conan had a vague answer in his mind, he still asked the question.

Because he wanted to know whether the questions Moriarty asked were consistent with the questions he deduced.

And the result was as Conan expected, Professor Moriarty did ask this question.

"A person's personality and behavior habits will not change overnight, and even if they lose their memory, it is impossible to change them all."

"If all the information about Xiang Yuanguang that Noah's Ark has investigated is correct, and there is no problem with my personality simulation... then perhaps the problem is with the Xiang Yuanguang you know."

Professor Moriarty's words are thought-provoking, but they are not convincing to Conan.

Even if Xiang Yuanguang's personality and behavior habits changed dramatically in a short period of time, so what? He had known this impetuous Xiang Yuanguang from the beginning, right?
The so-called "real Xiang Yuanguang" is actually a character that he is completely unfamiliar with, and is even almost completely out of touch with the real world. Moreover, this character may not necessarily exist in real life!
"I don't know if he has any problem, but you said these things to me for no reason, so there must be something wrong with you."

Conan's voice was blunt. He scanned the surroundings and then asked loudly, "Alice Watson once left a manuscript in the treasure chest. The content was […Following the sound of the Reichenbach Falls, the final truth will be revealed at the end of this century…]."

"And the Reichenbach Falls cannot exist in the city of Old London, and the game time does not allow us to leave Old London to go to the location of the Reichenbach Falls, if there is no problem with this pronoun..."

"The so-called Reichenbach Falls is actually the Reichenbach Building that you funded. If my guess is correct, there must be another cave on the top floor of this building."

"Professor Moriarty, you deliberately led me to this place. Isn't it just for one purpose?"

The Death God Elementary School Student pushed up his plain glasses and was extremely calm.

"As someone who thinks that you have awakened your own personality and that you are the source of light, you want to find the [Heisei Holmes] of my real world and replicate the [Reichenbach Pendant] on top of the Reichenbach Building..."

"Now that I'm here, you're still hiding. What are you waiting for? Waiting for the right time?"

This answer made Professor Moriarty silent for a while. The king of the criminal world seemed to be thinking.

To Conan, the other person's face seemed extremely disgusting, especially when the other person's behavioral logic and personality were completely different from the person in his memory.

Wait and wait again, finally, Professor Moriarty said.

"Yes, I am waiting for the right moment. I am waiting for the [bell]. When that time comes, I will wait for you on the rooftop. By then, you should have solved the puzzle, right?"

Puzzle, the last puzzle left by Haibara Ai before being eliminated.

[Holmes will go to the Reichenbach Abyss step by step, and the end of reasoning is death. ]

[The answer can be found in Alice Watson and Naruhodō Ryunosuke's logic theater.]

Although Conan himself is not clear about what the so-called logical theater is, the Reichenbach Abyss in the previous sentence is easy to understand, because the Reichenbach Building is a real thing.

The Reichenbach Abyss corresponding to the Reichenbach Building is most likely the underground drainage system of old London. Therefore, Holmes will probably go to somewhere in the underground drainage system of old London under the guidance of Moriarty...

Maybe it will be a place like a dark room, and then use the information gap to replay the death trap that Haibara Ai encountered in the gymnasium before, which she could not guard against in advance.

"The underground drainage system is too vast, Professor. How about narrowing the search area?"

The Death Elementary School Student pushed his plain glasses again and proposed a somewhat ridiculous idea.

It would be fine if Professor Moriarty, as his enemy, did not add to the complexity of the puzzle, but how could he actually help him narrow the scope of his search for Sherlock Holmes at this time?
However, Professor Moriarty is obviously not a normal person either.

I only heard him slowly say——————

“…I got it back!”

Naruhodō Ryunosuke pushed open the door of the Scotland Yard police station, breathlessly.

In his hand was holding the projection device that Miss Alice had demonstrated the use of before!
