Chapter 315 The reasoning of “Queen of Reasoning” Sonoko?

"Seiya didn't catch up with Jack the Ripper, so what should we do next?"

While Seiya was still chasing Jack the Ripper, just one hour had passed and he had already murdered two more women.

"Even if we rush to Jack the Ripper's crime scene again now, it's probably useless. Even if he's still there, with the skills he's shown before, there's no way we can catch him.

Since the game is set in 19th century London, that person should be there too, right?

The others were still half-understanding Conan's riddle, but Ran, whose boyfriend was a detective, had a look of sudden enlightenment on her face and said, "I get it, it's Sherlock Holmes, right? Conan, you're so smart!"

"Sherlock Fox, is that some really great thing?"

Looking at the puzzled Mihua Sansa, Seiya couldn't help but sigh and said, "Sherlock Holmes is a famous detective in Arthur Conan Doyle's novels who was active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

He has a calm mind, keen observation and outstanding reasoning ability, and is good at solving problems through observation, deductive reasoning and legal knowledge."

Conan was not at all surprised that Seiya was quite knowledgeable despite being a seven-year-old. Instead, he continued to speak: "Given the skills that Jack the Ripper showed before, it would be extremely difficult for us to arrest him in such a aimless situation.

So I think the way to pass this game scene is probably to hope that we will continue to collect evidence and solve the mystery, and finally find the identity of Jack the Ripper, and wait for him to take the bait, so that there is a possibility of arresting him.

But before that, we need to have some information about Jack the Ripper, so Sherlock Holmes should be able to help us."

Naturally, Xiaolan and the other members of the Junior Detective League had no objection to Conan's proposal.

However, the arrogant rich second generation like Moroboshi Hideki seemed to be dissatisfied with Conan, a mere brat, who was now ordering everyone around. So they walked over to Seiya and asked softly, "Boss Seiya, are you just going to watch this arrogant brat bossing us around like this?"

"Yeah, the other party is just a little kid. When did he become our leader?"

Even though the naughty kids were defeated by Seiya before, it doesn't mean that they are also convinced by others.

Seiya is okay, even though he is younger than them, he is the future heir of the Suzuki Group, and he is both capable and smart, with a lot of legs. But what about this kid named Conan?
He's just a poor little brat who was able to attend this press conference thanks to the Suzuki Group. Now he's relying on his cleverness and wants to order them around. Isn't this just being arrogant?

"Besides the method he mentioned, do you have any other suggestions?
But at least as far as the current situation is concerned, I think asking Sherlock Holmes for help is indeed the best solution at the moment."

When he saw the people making a fuss, Seiya knew that these second-generation rich boys were going to start another suicidal show.

Seiya has no idea whether Hideki Moroboshi (Hiroki) was instigating the others to increase the difficulty of the game, or whether these rich second-generations were committing suicide on their own initiative.

When they heard that Seiya also agreed with Conan's action plan and did not feel any discomfort about being commanded by him, Hideki Moroboshi and the others cursed inwardly, but in the end they had no choice but to follow.

Sherlock Holmes's address was Room B, 221 Baker Street. The group, originally halfway along their route, passed a clock tower in central London when Hideki Moroboshi, one of the group, suddenly exclaimed, "Look at that clock! It's actually running backwards."

Because of Moroboshi Hideki's exclamation, several people present also looked up in surprise. And when they looked up at the clock, the position where the overlapping hands pointed at had moved back several steps from the fifty-minute position.

"If I'm not mistaken, the 50 points represent the 50 players who have entered the Cocoon. The reason we're regressing now is that some players have been eliminated in other game scenarios."

The Death God Elementary School Student only took a look at the big clock and guessed the function of the clock. When the others saw that the game had just started and nearly ten players had been eliminated, they couldn't help but become nervous.

Compared to the others who were nervous, Seiya couldn't help but roll his eyes secretly at Moroboshi Hideki who also looked surprised at the moment.

The genius boy really loves to act. If he saw it correctly, Hideki Moroboshi exclaimed before the clock went backwards, right?
So this means that the other party already knew that the clock would go backwards and what that meant, and the reason he screamed was just to attract other people's attention.

And Seiya was also sure that besides him, Conan had probably also noticed Hideki Moroboshi's unusual behavior.

When heading to 221 Baker Street to look for Holmes, the patrolman on the road sounded the alarm again because Jack the Ripper started committing crimes again.

Seiya glanced at Hideki Moroboshi beside him, and just when he was thinking about whether to skip the search for Sherlock Holmes and go after Jack the Ripper again, a homeless man playing the accordion and singing suddenly appeared in front of them.

"Be careful of Jack the Ripper. He's waiting for you on the night road. If you don't want to die, you have to be covered in blood..."

When the homeless man passed by several people, he looked at them with a meaningful look.

"I understand. Everyone, hurry up and catch him. This man must be Jack the Ripper!"

The crowd, who already felt that the homeless man gave people a weird feeling, suddenly became alert when they heard Yuanzi's exclamation.

Conan looked at Sonoko behind him with a look of surprise and said, "Sister Sonoko, why do you think that homeless man just now was Jack the Ripper?"

To be honest, although the homeless man just now was a little strange, judging from his body shape alone, he did not look like Jack the Ripper they had met before.

Of course, Conan didn't dare to be too careless about Sonoko's judgment. After all, although Sonoko was not smart, she had a younger brother who was extraordinary.

Maybe the judgment just now was what Seiya wanted to express through Sonoko's mouth?

"This person gives me a very strange feeling. Moreover, he suddenly appeared here just after Jack the Ripper committed a crime nearby. So I infer that he must have deliberately disguised himself in order to confuse our sight and escape from the scene!"

"But Sister Sonoko, if Jack the Ripper deliberately disguised himself as a homeless man to confuse his audience, he wouldn't have done something so eye-catching as he just did.

After all, if he didn't sing, we wouldn't even notice him, right?"

Hearing Conan's question, Sonoko was unable to refute it. Then, feeling humiliated, she still said stubbornly: "My reasoning is that of Queen Sonoko, so it must be correct. Seiya, you should explain it to them."
