People are in Conan, but Ace Attorney

Chapter 609 Mycroft: Little girl, you are quite an expert, right?

"In this way, the scene of Jack the Ripper's fourth murder is almost set."

Mycroft Holmes sat in a chair, watching from a distance as several people were busy setting up the crime scene.

However, his attention was mainly focused on the little girl in the magician's uniform.

Although he didn't know why, he felt that this girl seemed unexpectedly skilled in her business.

Is this also a unique leeway that comes with being a magician? Or have you done something similar before?

Mycroft thought about it briefly, but decided not to dwell on it.

Whether it is Naruhodō Mikan or Naruhodō Ryuichi, they are just passers-by in the final analysis.

They won't stay in Old London for long and will leave once this Jack the Ripper killing is over.

The main thing now is to catch the serial killer Jack the Ripper and find Sherlock Holmes.

Before, after Conan informed them about the whereabouts of Sherlock Holmes.

Mycroft's men have already set out for the scene of the New Baswick Hound Incident.

If the time he estimated was correct, then he should be near the crime scene by now.

Next, the rescue operation for Sherlock Holmes will begin soon.

"...the nights of old London had never seemed so long and deep before."

"But it's not surprising that this seems to be the case on the last night of the century."

Muttering to himself, Mycroft Holmes stood up and walked slowly to the telephone booth.

It's about time to notify the police from Scotland Yard to come over to investigate and collect evidence.

I hope those insane local police officers won't do anything shocking to him at this time.

On the other side, several agents from Old London also stood up and scanned the fake crime scene.

"It's enough to do this. Except for the location, everything else is the same."

"Next, I will go and notify the radio station to make temporary changes to the content of tonight's late-night broadcast."

An agent clapped his hands, then glanced at the little girl in a magician's uniform next to him.

He had been curious since he came here with Mycroft.

Why was there a little girl at the crime scene whom these agents had never seen before?

Wearing a blue hat and a cape, he looks like a magician performing magic.

However, the agent was convinced that there seemed to be no information about any magic group performances in old London recently.

Noticing that the agent seemed to be paying attention to him, Naruhodō clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Well, I'll be leaving now, uncle. See you another day!"

Her father, Naruhodō Ryuichi, who was far away in the Old London Court, had just called her.

The content is to ask whether the ace here is ready, and if it is ready, go look somewhere else.

Now that the agent has said that the crime scene has been set up, there is naturally no need for her to stay.

Under the gaze of the agent, the magician girl walked away with a smile.

The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and a person walking into it would soon disappear.

At this time, Mycroft appeared in front of Naruhodō Mikan.

The man who was said to represent the whole of Britain stood aside. He raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

"Girl, you are quite an expert, aren't you? The forged Jack the Ripper knife is almost identical to the real thing."

"Even if we take out the Jack the Ripper knife in the courtroom and put it next to the Jack the Ripper knife you brought here, we would not be able to tell which one is the real one under normal circumstances."

"To achieve this level of forging, it would take at least one day... Did you know about Jack the Ripper's situation a long time ago, or even saw Jack the Ripper's knives a few days ago?"

Mycroft Holmes' voice was easygoing, not aggressive. However, this was actually a kind of interrogation of civilians by an agent.

In response, Naruhodō Mikuni just replied with a smile.

"That's not necessarily true, uncle. If you want to make an identical knife, a few hours is enough."

"It's only because the equipment and technology here are too backward that you think it's impossible!"

...It's the opposite. Are the technology and equipment in old London too backward?
Where else could the technology and equipment be more advanced than in Britain today?
Could it be Britain's great son, the United States? Or the United States' great son, Japan?
There was a hint of doubt in Mycroft Holmes's eyes.

However, when Naruhodō Mikuni passed by him, he did not stop her, but just said something lazily.

"I have sent people to the Reichenbach Building to investigate."

"Little girl, if you want to go in, be careful... they may not know you."

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

The sound of footsteps gradually disappeared.

Mycroft walked slowly to the telephone booth.

Then he dialed the number wheel on the phone and finally raised the receiver to his ear.

"Excuse me, is this Scotland Yard? I saw someone being killed. It was a woman..."

"The killer wore a black cape, white clothes, a mask on his face and used a dagger."

"Now, he has fled the crime scene, and in his haste, he has lost his murder weapon..."

Mr. Holmes spoke in a calm tone, without any hint of fear.

"It is because I saw his murder weapon that I know he used a dagger."

"Please come to the crime scene as soon as possible. I suspect Jack the Ripper will come back to take the murder weapon."

————-——

Inside Scotland Yard police station.

The young man from a noble family who was left behind by the Junior Detective Team to look after the house sat there somewhat bored.

Suddenly, the phone rang and he immediately perked up.

One of the few police officers in the police station walked out and answered the phone.

"...What? Another murder? A murder weapon was left at the scene?"

the police officer exclaimed.

"I see. We'll be there soon. Please pay attention to your own safety and wait for us to arrive!"

Immediately, the remaining police officers heard the news of the murder and immediately put on their police badges and prepared to go.

This happened to coincide with the encounter between other police officers who were returning from the courtroom with a group of men in black.

The two sides looked at each other and finally asked.

"Why are you back from the trial? And you're still holding so many people?"

"These people committed murder inside the courtroom. What about you?"

“…We are also involved in a murder case!”

The young man from a noble family quickly took out the detective medal from his pocket.

Plan to contact other members of the Junior Detective Team.

However, no member could be contacted.

He picked up the detective badge, stared at it for a moment, then muttered.

"Could it be that... this is broken?"
