Conan's Corpse Picker

It was a game after all, and the night didn't last long.

In the poker club, not long after the players rested, the sky turned pale.

In the early hours of the morning, a group of people went out early and arrived near the Whitechapel.

This is one of the locations where Jack the Ripper committed crimes.

……

Others scoured the streets for newspapers, looking for information from what Moriarty called the "Sunday Times."

Conan wandered into the courtyard of the Whitechapel unknowingly, observing the situation thoughtfully.

There is a notice on the wall.Conan took a closer look.

See above it says:

[October will also hold a parent-child charity bazaar on the second Sunday.

Those who want to participate, please bring items that match the theme of 'parent-child'. 】

Conan: "..." October will "also" be held.That is to say, there was one in September—calculating the date, the "Parent-Child Charity Auction" in September happened to be held on the day Hani was killed by "Jack the Ripper".And according to the information found from Holmes, when Hani died, there was a pair of paternity rings beside her.

……

There are no more clues around for the time being.

While silently integrating the known information in his mind, Conan went back the same way and came to the side of his teammates.

It may be that he was lucky, just when he arrived on the street, there was a small newspaper boy passing by.

Conan's eyes lit up and he waved his hand: "Give me a copy of The Sunday Times!"

As he spoke, he touched his pocket.

After entering the game, their appearance and the things they carried were all reproduced one by one.

Conan thought happily, fortunately, he had brought a lot of pocket money with him.

But a second later, looking at the foreigners coming and going on the street.Conan remembered the background of the current era, holding the island country coin in his hand, and froze slightly.

He said to the newsboy, "...I only have yen on me."

A few meters away, "Zhuxing Xiushu" glanced at the npc selling newspapers.

The npc newsboy handed out the newspaper with one hand, and stretched out the other enthusiastically towards Conan: "Come, 80 yen."

Conan: "...Thank you."

Really convenient.

Fortunately, it seems that Noah has not been so crazy to the point of cutting people everywhere, and they still have the hope of clearing the level...

……

Conan took the newspaper and found a group of his friends.

A group of people clattered through the newspaper, and according to what "Moriarty" said, they opened the advertisement section of the "Sunday Times".

Soon, they found a short line:

【Go to clean the stage of the opera house tonight.

M_to_J]

"M_to_J...Moriarty_to_Jack?" Conan quickly confirmed the target, "'kill command' should refer to this."

Suzuki Sonoko looked curiously at this newspaper from the last century.

She looked around, and suddenly found an advertisement for an opera house, her eyes lit up immediately: "It means this—this should be the target of 'Jack the Ripper' today!"

"Which one?" While confirming the advertisement, Conan glanced at Suzuki Sonoko in surprise, and was speechless immediately: I always felt that after seeing "Professor Moriarty" last night, Sonoko, the nympho, suddenly became very motivated. The deputy is very satisfied that the helper looks like "Moriarty"...

Conan followed Suzuki Sonoko's line of sight, and soon saw another advertisement——

【Triumph performance!Irene Adler, Principal Diva, Walter Royal Opera House']

"Irene Adler?!" Conan was startled, and then frowned, "This is the only woman Holmes has ever loved. Moriarty probably didn't just use her as a target to lure Jack the Ripper, but I really want to kill her... this demon!"

Although Conan once felt that Professor Moriarty was an admirable genius in some respects.

But at this time, they are placed side by side with their idol Sherlock Holmes, and the two are about to clash violently...

Sure enough, idols are more important.

Conan couldn't help but wrinkled the newspaper a little, with an angry glint in his eyes: "We must stop his plot and save Irene Adler!"

"Yeah!" Sonoko Suzuki nodded enthusiastically, nodded, and then whispered, "I don't know if Mr. Moriarty will go to watch. Since he is the appointed 'helper' of the game, he should follow Let's meet up." As she spoke, she couldn't help but blush when she remembered the details of her helping out.

"That's not certain." Conan remembered that "Professor Moriarty" wanted to murder his idol's wife, snorted, and retorted:

"Although we haven't seen Holmes in person, we did get a lot of useful clues in his residence—maybe the real helper has always been Holmes. And 'Moriarty' didn't talk to 'The Ripper' at all. Jack's sorry, he's just a misleading item in the game settings, he's helping us on the surface, but he's always ready to backstab us... In short, this kind of guy who likes to play tricks on people's hearts should not be trusted!"

"Oh, fickle kid." Sonoko Suzuki slapped him on the head, and glanced at him, "I don't know who taught us the brilliant achievements of Professor Moriarty last night." '."

"Okay, okay." Mao Lilan, the only sensible adult present, intervened between the two of them, forcing back the increasingly outrageous trend of the conversation:

"Let's go to the Opera House first. Remind Miss Irene Adler and tell her to avoid it—she will be completely safe after Jack the Ripper is caught."

……

The scene quickly turned to evening.

The opera house is brightly lit.Gentlemen and ladies dressed in formal attire entered the arena one after another, arm in arm.

Jiang Xia and Miyano Akemi also appeared nearby.

However, they did not enter through the main entrance, but walked through the staff passage at the back door.

While visiting the backstage of this ancient flavor, he was walking towards the auditorium.

On the way, when passing a fork, someone suddenly blocked the way in front of him.

"...?" Jiang Xia raised his eyes and saw an NPC with a mustache.

Seeing the new face, the npc in charge twirled the funny beard on his lips, Jingye stopped him and said: "This is the backstage, no one else is allowed to enter!"

"..." Miyano Akemi poked Noah.

——Noah attaches great importance to this game. On their side, they left a palm-sized spherical slime as a communicator.

Suddenly being poked at this time, it came back to its senses, looked at the steward blocking the way, and then at Jiang Xia who was staring at the steward's beard and stroking his chin thoughtfully, and realized later: "I forgot to tell you Oh, I didn't mean to let him block the way - just now, the players said that they planned to report to Irene Adler and ask her to suspend the show... In this case, the scheduled chase may not be able to be staged, so I set Blocking program - if you want to go through here, you can cancel it at any time. Just remember to open it after you pass it."

Chapter 958 [Moriarty] Joining the Team

Halfway through the conversation, Noah suddenly felt as if he was teaching the psychic master to do things.

It paused for a moment, then changed its words cowardly: "Well, forget it, or I'll do it."

"It's okay." Jiang Xia came back to his senses, looked away from the steward, and changed his way, "There's no need to stop the player - the detailed character of Irene Adler here should be set by the uncle Kudo next door Right... If that's the case, whether you stop it or not, the effect is actually the same."

Speaking of this, Jiang Xia suddenly felt something.

He paused, raised his head, and looked at a small door on the right, more than ten meters away.

That door just connected to the path leading to the side door.

After looking at it twice, there was a light click, and the door was opened furtively by the person on the other side.

Immediately afterwards, several heads of different heights poked out along the one-foot-wide crack in the door.Everyone looks familiar.

……

The players did try to convince Irene Adler that she should stop acting and go somewhere else that would be safer.

So before coming to the theater, they chipped in to buy a bouquet of flowers, and planned to bring them over, pretending to be Irene Adler's group of relatives and friends, sneaking in front of her to persuade her.

Just now, the players finally found the opportunity to follow the trail and get into the backstage.

Unexpectedly, before seeing Irene Adler, she first saw the "Professor Moriarty" whose position was unknown.

——The young Moriarty stood in the middle of the corridor, his eyes with darker contours looked precisely in the direction of the player.

Obviously recognized them, this mysterious Asian man in British attire nodded slightly to them and greeted them gracefully.

"..."

A group of players did not expect this encounter at all.

The moment they looked at each other, some people instinctively wanted to avoid Moriarty's sight, and planned to hide again and observe this dangerous element secretly.

Some people are suddenly happy, want to welcome this unexpected wonderful encounter optimistically, and plan to go out.

There are those who want to go out, and those who want to go back.The two slammed into each other, and a group of players huddled together in the small dim door.

Suzuki Sonoko accidentally stepped on an empty paint can, slipped and fell sideways.Conan was also unfortunately knocked off balance by her. He subconsciously swung his arms and tried to stand still. The bouquet in his hand, which was exchanged for all the players' wealth, drew an arc amidst the screams of the crowd, like a Flew out like a free bird.

In the chaos, the narrow side door was suddenly opened, and the warm and bright light from the corridor shone in.

Stretching in with a pair of slender arms, Akemi Miyano quickly grabbed the source of the confusion with one hand, and lifted Conan and Sonoko Suzuki out of the door and put them back on the ground.

The bouquet that drew a parabola did not fall to the ground.

"Moriarty" took a few steps forward at some point, and caught it smoothly. The whole process was extremely smooth, as if the bouquet of flowers had been thrown to him on purpose.

"Good evening, see you again." Moriarty looked down at the bouquet, politely held it up and sniffed it lightly, and then said as a matter of course, "Thank you for the gift."

Suzuki Sonoko looked at "Colonel Moran" and then at "Moriarty", blushing slightly, and tidied up the messy headband nervously: "No, it's nothing, as long as you like it."

Conan pulled the crooked collar and corrected it firmly: "Sorry, but it's for someone else!"

"Really." Moriarty smiled indulgently, "That's really rude."

He handed the flowers to the players who approached, and at the same time asked naturally: "What are you doing backstage?"

Conan opened his mouth: "..."

...Good question, he wanted to ask too.Unfortunately, it was preempted by Professor Moriarty.

"..." Tsk, speaking of it, this kind of aggrieved feeling of wanting to make a move but being cut off in advance, why is it a bit familiar...

Conan thought for a while, but couldn't remember.

He sighed faintly, straightened the flowers in his arms, and answered "Moriarty"'s question: "Go see Irene Adler."

Although the position of "Professor Moriarty" is unclear and may not be friendly, Conan does not want to answer his question.
