People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 587: Maze? Where is the maze?

The walls of the labyrinth of sewers beneath old London collapsed with a loud bang.

Click.

A boot stepped over the broken bricks as if it were flat ground, and passed through the gap in the wall.

blah blah.

Xiang Yuanguang walked on this inexplicable, dark and damp road with an expressionless face.

Before he was sent to old London in the late 19th century by the implanted program left by two game players, Chiaki Nanami and Reito Housheng, he had never imagined that he would appear in such an outrageous scene.

If he hadn't seen Holmes and Nanatsuki Koshimizu, he would have thought that the anti-cheating program had been activated!
Because some old games had such settings in the past. If the player cheated, he would be teleported to a special scene that he could not escape from. This would freeze the game process and force the player to stop cheating and play the game normally.

"Xiang Yuan, this maze is really huge. This is the highest wall."

Koshimizu Nanatsuki took two quick steps forward and followed behind Xiang Yuanguang, his eyes fixed on the wall and corner not far away.

She had to admit that Professor Moriarty was extremely powerful and well-connected to be able to create such a large-scale maze scene in a place like Old London where every inch of land is valuable!
After all, it is impossible that the construction of such a maze did not attract the attention of local officials in old London.

But now, this maze is still used as a scene for Professor Moriarty to imprison special targets. This means that it is very likely that the local officials have reached some kind of relationship with Professor Moriarty...

"A maze? What kind of maze is that? It's just a few more paper walls."

The hedgehog-haired lawyer complained casually, reaching out to grab his wrist and stretching his muscles.

From the moment he knew that this was a maze, Xiang Yuanguang used the simplest and most brutal way to solve the maze - that is, to return to the exit, walk along the edge, and push the wall when he encountered one.

If the maze is rectangular, this way they can get out by just walking around the edge of the maze.

Therefore, the goal towards Yuanguang is to advance all the way until you find the exit, or go back to the starting point.

"What do you think, Mr. Holmes?"

He looked at Sherlock Holmes, who had been walking at the back.

This famous world-class detective seemed to be thinking about something and didn't seem to react.

It was not until Xiang Yuanguang repeated his name twice that he started to shudder as if he was frightened.

"What? How do you look at it? Of course I'm standing and looking at it!"

Sherlock Holmes put on his grinning face.

He took out his pipe from his waist, put it to his lips, and spoke in a deep voice.

"I have discovered how to solve this maze!"

"...Really? You're not going to tell me some nonsense riddles again...?"

The female detective poked her head next to Yuan Guang and looked at Sherlock Holmes suspiciously.

When they came to this maze scene, they didn't just come out of the cell and went straight there. In the middle, they met a group of Professor Moriarty's men who were called to perform an interactive drama.

At that time, Mr. Holmes obviously got the answer quickly, but he just didn't say it directly.

Instead, it uses the methods of a detective theater and some nonsensical reasoning, allowing her to use a method similar to a word-filling game to gradually uncover the truth behind this interactive drama.

Then, the group of men took them to this place and told them that as long as they walked along it to the end, they would reach the city of old London.

"No, no, no, now is not the time to play, Miss Yueshui."

Holmes turned his hat in a cool way and spoke in a mysterious tone.

"I found it! As long as you keep moving along the edge of the maze, you can find the exit or entrance of the maze!"... Isn't this nonsense? What do you think the hedgehog-headed lawyer is doing now?

The female detective's look became even more rude.

After all, this Sherlock Holmes detective is just a comic character.

This is completely different from the cold and humorous Sherlock Holmes in the Sherlock Holmes series, who seems like a reasoning machine.

If Xiang Yuanguang had not realized that the other person was Sherlock Holmes himself at first sight, she would probably have said that this Holmes was just an imitator of the real Sherlock Holmes, or simply had the same name.

"Well, that makes sense, Mr. Holmes."

To the surprise of Nanatsuki Koshimizu, the person next to him, Genmi Mitsuki, nodded, as if he agreed with what he said.

Well, although what he said was nonsense, it was also correct nonsense...

"...But, Mr. Holmes, this is not the only thing you want to say, right?"

The hedgehog-haired lawyer turned his head and punched the wall next to him.

Suddenly, there was another loud bang, and a wall collapsed again.

Holmes, who was trying to show off and didn't have time to dodge, was splashed with dust.

He coughed several times, then with a complicated expression on his face, he brushed off the dust on his body and wiped his face.

"Of course I am. After all, I am the famous detective Sherlock Holmes!"

"I remember Miss Yueshui called you Xiang Yuan, right? Then I will call you Mr. Xiang Yuan."

Sherlock Holmes changed his posture to look cool and said something meaningful.

"Do you feel... from the beginning till now, you have always felt like someone is watching you?"

"I am quite sensitive to this, because there are always fans who like me as a great detective following me, so I am quite sensitive to this, and it can't be wrong!"

...Could it be those barbecued porks who were scared by him?

Xiang Yuanguang touched his chin, remembering that at the beginning he asked Koshimizu Nanatsuki to take him back the same way, and then he met those char siu thugs who were so scared when they saw him that they couldn't speak.

Because those guys really didn't know where to get out, he didn't pay too much attention to them.

Could it be that these people actually dared to follow them and secretly watch them from behind?

"No, they don't have the guts to follow."

He murmured, his eyes sweeping around the area, and finally landed on a small protrusion that would be overlooked if one didn't look closely, and he immediately reached out to touch it——————

Under the influence of powerful force, the soil originally used to fix and shield was directly crushed.

As a result, some familiar-looking creations were revealed, but they should not appear in this era.

"...Sure enough, it's a surveillance camera, and it's a hidden model."

Xiang Yuanguang knew something about this, at least he had installed it in his own office.

He raised his eyebrows at this, then pointed at the hidden camera.

"Professor Moriarty, don't let me catch you, or I'll give you a lot of juice!"

Lawyer's special skill: Empty intimidation!
