Of course, Aragaki Yu knew that Professor Moriarty, as Sherlock Holmes's greatest adversary, could not possibly die in such a small explosion.

But for Yuu Aragaki, this was nothing more than a prank on Professor Moriarty, a small return gift for the "fireworks" extravaganza he had given them.

Rather than killing Professor Moriarty, they wanted him to experience the same kind of humiliation as Conan and his friends.

……

A few minutes later, amidst the chaos of the private room, Professor Moriarty emerged from the ruins with his coachman.

Because Professor Moriarty decisively pushed over the table and the coachman hid behind it before the explosion, neither of them sustained any injuries.

However, there was no way to avoid being in a sorry state.

Against the backdrop of his dusty and ragged clothes, Professor Moriarty's expression conveyed utter anger and bewilderment.

Chapter 695 The Lost Aragaki Yu

"hurry up!"

"Hurry and seek refuge!"

In the midst of the chaos, everyone managed to escape to the streets before the opera house was reduced to ruins.

Just as everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief after narrowly escaping death, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the crowd of onlookers.

Upon hearing the sound, everyone instinctively turned their heads to look, only to see a figure with black skin and wearing a strange mask brazenly charging towards Miss Eileen Adler with a dagger.

"It's Jack the Ripper!" Conan exclaimed, alerting everyone.

"To the back!"

At the same time, Xiao Lan, who was at the top of the combat power, pulled Miss Irene Adler behind her.

She then strode forward, sidestepped, and kicked out with her long leg, sending a sharp whistling sound as it hurtled towards Jack the Ripper.

Despite Xiaolan's obstruction, Jack the Ripper showed no surprise. Just as Xiaolan was about to hit him in the face, he suddenly jumped high from the ground and somersaulted over Xiaolan.

The next second, with the sound of his black cloak rustling in the air, Jack the Ripper continued his attack on Miss Irene Adler like a falcon.

boom!

However, with just one kick, Jack the Ripper was sent flying by Yuu Aragaki, who suddenly appeared next to Miss Irene Adler.

Meanwhile, the police who arrived after the opera house explosion finally discovered Jack the Ripper's trail.

After the police blew a sharp whistle, Jack the Ripper decisively abandoned his plan to continue the killing.

The next second, Jack the Ripper fled into the alley without looking back.

"Wait a moment!"

Seeing this, Xiaolan decisively chased after Jack the Ripper.

Conan and Noah's Ark followed without hesitation.

After glancing at Xiaolan and the others who had run off without a word in the distance, and then at the bewildered "tool" Miss Eileen Adler beside him, Aragaki Yu didn't rush to leave. Instead, he placed his right hand on his chest and said to her in farewell, "Miss Eileen, I think you'll be safe as long as you stay with the police. We'll take our leave here."

After saying that, he prepared to turn around and leave.

"Hey, wait a minute!"

However, before Aragaki Yu could turn around, Irene Adler called out to him, "I don't even know your name yet!"

After saying that, without waiting for Aragaki Yu's response, he slightly raised his right hand towards Aragaki Yu.

Facing Eileen Adler, Aragaki Yu was taken aback at first, but then he understood and said, "My name is Aragaki Yu, and I am an admirer of you and Sherlock Holmes."

Then, while Irene Adler was slightly stunned by Aragaki Yu's introduction, he gently took Irene Adler's right hand, lifted it slightly, and then gently kissed the back of her hand.

"What are you still doing? Jack the Ripper has already escaped!" Ai Haibara, who had also stayed where she was, adopted an attitude of being anxious to catch the criminal, and looked at Yuu Aragaki, who was still holding Miss Irene Adler's right hand, and reminded him in a serious tone.

"Then we'll take our leave. Farewell, Miss Eileen!"

Watching Aragaki Yu turn and chase after Jack the Ripper, and then glancing at the little girl who gave her a strange look before leaving, Eileen Adler, who was standing still, suddenly chuckled.

Although the little girl in front of her was very good at hiding it, she had dealt with countless all kinds of people, so how could she not see that the little girl's eagerness to chase the murderer was fake, because Aragaki Yu was really annoyed that she had kissed the back of her hand?

"It's great to be young!"

……

Watching Ai Haibara struggling to keep up with him on her short legs.

Afraid that she would run away, Yuuya Aragaki picked up Ai Haibara and quickened his pace.

As for Ai Haibara, who was running just fine, after being suddenly lifted up by Yu Aragaki, she dazedly swung her legs around in mid-air a couple of times.

She only realized her current situation after her eyes widened and she struggled in Aragaki Yu's hands.

"What are you doing? Put me down right now!"

Unfortunately, with her small arms and legs after becoming a primary school student, her resistance against Aragaki was futile.

……

If I remember correctly, according to the original plot, the group would chase Jack the Ripper all the way to Charlie Close station.

Next, after the players and Jack the Ripper board a speeding train, the final climax of the entire instance will unfold—the final battle against Jack the Ripper.

Players will find Jack the Ripper hiding among the passengers in a train carriage and successfully subdue him.

Finally, he must survive the "bloodbath" on the out-of-control train and reach the destination.

To be honest, Aragaki Yu doesn't really want to get involved in this mess.

Even in games, being submerged in water is not a pleasant experience.

Not to mention that it was a whole carriage full of red wine.

So, at a certain corner, Yuu Aragaki, who had deliberately kept some distance from Jack the Ripper and Ran, accurately chose the wrong direction and continued running wildly.

As for Ai, who was already in Aragaki Yu's arms, she was too busy blushing and flustered to notice that Aragaki Yu had run in the wrong direction.

This is why Yuu Aragaki brought up Ai Haibara.

Of course, there are other benefits to doing this.

After the game ended, Conan and the others asked him why he hadn't chased after them.

—If you're carrying someone in your arms, it's perfectly normal to lose them if you run a little slower!

……

Chased by Xiaolan and the others, Jack the Ripper escaped into Charlie Cross Station and boarded the last steam train of the night.

"Quick, catch up!"

Seeing the steam train about to start, Conan and Hideki Moroboshi ran onto it without hesitation.

"But Aragaki Yu and Ai haven't caught up yet!" Ran hesitated for a moment, then turned back to look behind her, reminding Conan with some concern.

"what!"

Conan, who had already boarded the train, was clearly taken aback when he heard Ran's words. He looked up towards the station gate and, sure enough, he still hadn't seen Aragaki Yu and Ai.

"Oh no, it's too late!"

To make matters worse, at this moment, Conan discovers that the steam train has begun to slowly move.

"Sister Ran, get in the car quickly, let's go chase after Jack the Ripper first. I believe that Brother Aragaki and Haibara will be alright!"

Chapter 696 In the Name of Sherlock Holmes

On a steam train traveling at high speed.

Conan, Ran, and Noah's Ark disguised as Hideki Moroboshi entered the train car and searched along the train corridor for Jack the Ripper, who had infiltrated the train.

However, they did not encounter any suspicious individuals along the way.

However, since no one had ever seen Jack the Ripper's real face, Conan and the others quickly guessed that Jack the Ripper might have already changed clothes and blended into the passengers on the train.

So after meeting the train conductor, Xiaolan immediately went up to him, explained the situation, and tried to get help from the NPC.

"What? You're saying Jack the Ripper disguised himself and mingled among the passengers?!"

Perhaps due to the game's mechanics, the train conductor did not doubt the words of these foreigners who inexplicably boarded the train, simply because of their age.

In the real world, even with Xiaolan accompanying them, most people would probably just scoff at the children's explanation.

In the game, after a brief period of panic and shock, the train conductor not only accepted Conan and the others' explanation, but also cooperated with Conan's request to go to each carriage and gather the passengers in the same place.

……

On the other side, Ai, who was being held by Yu Aragaki, gradually realized that something was wrong after going through several turns.

Although she was somewhat distracted by being held in Yu's arms and didn't pay attention to her surroundings, she still sensed that the guy seemed to have made four left turns while carrying her and chasing Jack the Ripper.

Putting aside the fact that they still haven't caught up with Jack the Ripper or Kudo, which is already a very strange thing.

Besides, why would Jack the Ripper need to lead them in circles around this place?

If they keep circling around the town, and are caught red-handed by the police who have been alerted, then they'll be trapped with no way to escape.

"Wait a minute, I'll say it..."
