Zongman: My days as a chaebol in Japan

Norman's reaction at the time was the same as his son Hunter's before. He quickly calmed down and began to discuss the current situation.

Everyone was confused about the current situation and didn't have many useful opinions for the time being, so they agreed to get together to discuss it tonight. Unexpectedly, two of their men brought Hunter and others back.

During this period of time, Norman also learned about his current environment. It was after learning about it that Norman found it even more incredible. It seemed that he and his group of people had arrived at Baker Street in England in the last century.

After get off work, Norman came to take his son Hunter and others to the agreed location of the think tank. When he opened the door, he heard Hunter talking, and the remarks made by the little boy with glasses made Norman feel a little interesting, so he opened his mouth to respond.

"Dad," Hunter ran to Norman's side.

Norman smiled and touched his son's head, then his gaze returned to Conan, "Is this also a guest at my party? But I don't seem to have seen you before?"

Conan pushed his glasses and then said, "Hello Uncle Norman, my name is Edogawa Conan, and I came to England to travel with my relatives. I don't know how I ended up here after entering the venue. By the way, my relative is Kudo Yusaku, a very good novelist."

Norman thought about it and immediately knew who Conan was talking about. A smile appeared on his face, "It's that famous novelist, right? I've read his works, they are indeed very good, and many parts are very exquisite. It seems that you have a mind as smart as his. Tell me about your inference."

Conan saw that Norman knew about his father's affairs and said words of praise, so he felt relieved, so he told him what he had just analyzed with Hunter and the others. After listening, Norman nodded and said, "I see, according to your statement, it can explain why we suddenly appeared in this place."

"Come with me now, let's meet first and then exchange opinions." Although Norman agreed with Conan's inference, he did not fully agree with it, so he took them to meet his think tank.

Soon, a dozen people gathered in a house, and Brown and his parents were among them.

"Brown, my son!"

"Evans, Mom's here!"

...

When these people saw their sons and daughters, they all showed expressions of surprise and came forward to hug each other.

Conan was not surprised that Yusaku Kudo was not among them, because according to Norman, there were nearly thirty people at his party, but he had only found a dozen of them so far. Yusaku Kudo might be playing some role somewhere on Baker Street.

After Norman and the others in the room calmed down, they started discussing the situation with everyone and also shared Conan's inference.

"Grand Duke Norman, this possibility is very high. We have speculated this before, but we have never been able to confirm it. If it is a complete stealth test world, then we need to find key information. The key information of the original experiment was to pass the floating city of Aincrad. Now we are in Baker Street in England in the last century." Brown's father was preparing to contact investment rect before and was very familiar with this aspect.

After hearing this, the others nodded and agreed with his opinion, which was the most practical point at the moment.

"So, what do you think this point is?" Norman knocked on the table and asked slowly.

Everyone present fell into deep thought, Conan was no exception. He was also wondering what was so noteworthy about Baker Street in England in the last century.

While everyone was thinking, Conan heard Hunter and others whispering around him, and the content was actually about the murder case in the alley just now.

A light suddenly flashed in Conan's mind, and he immediately began to connect the scenes and information, and then came up with an answer.

"Metropolitan Police Department, it's the Metropolitan Police Department!" Conan spoke immediately, and his voice attracted everyone who was thinking.

"Metropolitan Police Department? Kid, which family are you from?" Brown's father and the others asked with curiosity in their eyes. They had no impression of Conan's appearance.

Norman immediately introduced Conan's identity and the source of the full stealth inference just now.

"I see. Then, what do you mean by the Metropolitan Police Department?" Brown's father continued to ask.

Conan carefully sorted out his thoughts. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the possibility was very high. He slowly said, "The place we are in is Baker Street, and you are where the Metropolitan Police Department is. Before we came to the Metropolitan Police Department, we encountered a homicide case with the two inspectors, and we learned from them that there is a master of reasoning Sherlock Holmes in Baker Street. So, there is a high probability that the main information of the place where we are is the case of the Metropolitan Police Department."

Norman and the others listened carefully to Conan's analysis and nodded, "It makes sense. If it is related to the Metropolitan Police Department, then the case is the most critical information. The case connects the entire Metropolitan Police Department system. Okay, I will ask someone to look for those unsolved cases tomorrow, and we will meet again tomorrow night."

A target plan was drawn up. Norman and his team would look for the unsolved cases left over from the Baker Street Metropolitan Police Department tomorrow, while the other people who were not in the Metropolitan Police Department would go look for Sherlock Holmes.

Chapter 434 The Lost Gem

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character who now exists, so he must be part of the important information.

the next morning.

Conan and his friends went to 221B Baker Street.

After arriving, the aunt in charge of cleaning told me that Holmes had been away for the past few days.

Conan and the others were a little disappointed. After asking about the approximate time, they prepared to leave. When they went downstairs, a door opened and a man with a mustache was escorting a fat lady holding a Persian cat out. He said, "Leave it to me, Ms. Taylor. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

After the fat lady left, the man with a mustache was about to close the door, but was immediately interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Uncle Maori?" Conan's surprised voice came.

The man with a mustache turned his head instantly and showed a surprised look, "Is it you, little kid? Where is your relative?"

The man with the mustache was none other than Mouri Kogoro. After seeing Conan, he looked a little surprised and started asking about Kudo Yusaku's whereabouts.

Conan shook his head and said, "I don't know, I haven't encountered it."

When Kogoro Mouri saw Conan and his group, he quickly brought them in. After learning that these people were all unconscious in the venue, he nodded. Then, after hearing Conan's inference about complete stealth, he also agreed.

Kogoro Mouri was sure because he had seen the images displayed on the big screen when he was outside.

Afterwards, Kogoro Mori also explained why he was here.

After he fell into a coma, he opened his eyes and came into this house. He saw the scenery of Britain in the last century outside. After some inquiries, he learned that the master of reasoning Sherlock Holmes lived upstairs from him. Kogoro Mouri immediately realized that Sherlock Holmes definitely had a huge connection with this world.

Sherlock Holmes is a fictional character, but he is very popular.

Kogoro Mouri also found out his identity and found out that he was actually an avid fan of Sherlock Holmes. He even bought the house downstairs from Sherlock Holmes and set up a detective agency. Kogoro Mouri can be said to have done his old job.

He had just received a commission from an employer who had lost a precious gem. She originally wanted to find Sherlock Holmes, but Holmes was not at home. She saw the detective sign hanging here at Kogoro Mouri's place, so she came in to issue the commission.

And Kogoro Mouri also told Conan and the others something that they didn't know yet.

"Jack the Ripper!?" Everyone was very surprised when they heard this name.

Kogoro Mouri spread his hands and said, "Yeah, I felt the same as you did when I heard the news. After all, it was only recently that news came out that the murderer's information had been basically confirmed. Unfortunately, such a thing happened before it was announced."

Everyone was digesting this news, but after being surprised, Conan became more certain of his guess that this world must have a great connection with Sherlock Holmes, and Sherlock Holmes must be a crucial figure in this world.

After staying with Kogoro Mouri for a while, Brown's father and others left with Brown and his companions, but Conan stayed because Kogoro Mouri temporarily took over the job of Conan's guardian in reality.

So Hunter and the other kids had to say goodbye to Conan temporarily.

After a while, Kogoro Mouri was ready to go out, but he didn't plan to take Conan with him. However, Conan said that he was very scared as a child in an unfamiliar environment, so Kogoro Mouri took him with him.

The first stop was the fat lady's house. After entering her room, a half-person-high safe appeared. There was no sign of damage from the front, but after the fat lady's servant pushed open the safe, a palm-sized hole was exposed. However, the hole had been repaired at this time, but the hole behind the safe remained, and there were some small black marks around the hole.

"The thief broke into the safe from the outside and took away the gems inside. Besides the gems, was there any other loss? Ms. Taylor," Kogoro Mouri immediately sorted out the process of how the gems were lost.

The fat lady shook her head and said, "No, except for the gems, nothing else in the safe is lost."

Kogoro Mouri touched his chin and fell into deep thought. After a while, he looked around the room, trying to see if he could find any traces left by the thief.

Conan was also constantly looking around, and carefully came to the window, where he made a new discovery.

"Eh? Uncle Mori, do the servants also have to clean the outer walls of the house when they clean?" Conan's voice attracted Kogoro Mori's attention.

"You little brat, you're crawling around again," Kogoro Mouri put his hand on Conan's collar, picked him up, put him on the ground, and then looked at the place Conan said.

Two pairs of shoe prints.

"Ms. Taylor, do you usually clean the exterior walls?" Kogoro Mouri looked at Taylor and her servants in the room.

Taylor didn't say anything, and her servant spoke up, "Mr. Detective, no, we only clean the balcony and attic on the exterior wall. The other parts are out of reach, so we hire professional workers to do it."

"It can be preliminarily confirmed that the two thieves who stole the gems were fixed in place on the outer wall using tools, then drilled through the outer wall, came to the outside of the safe, drilled open the safe, and stole the gems inside," Kogoro Mori also further enriched the clues.

After looking for a while, Kogoro Mouri, who found nothing new, took Conan to the second stop of the day, the tavern.

Conan looked at Kogoro Mouri who was constantly chatting with the blonde girl with big wavy hair next to him with a look of despair on his face. He knew that this unreliable old man had his old habit again and couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman.

Kogoro Mori's explanation was that the tavern was the place with the most information.

Pubs in Britain in the last century were not like they are today. They were deserted in the morning and crowded in the evening. In the last century, immersed in the atmosphere of steam engines, there were many people in the pubs during the day. Some people even lay directly on the table and woke up to find it was dawn.

Conan was very bored, and he wanted to go outside to collect some information, but with his current physical condition, not many people would take it seriously, so he could only lie on the table and wait for the lecherous uncle Kogoro Mouri to finish before he could collect information.

Conan was devastated by the bragging and gossip in the tavern, all of which were exaggerated. But among them, Conan heard some news that interested him.

He stood up and told Kogoro Mouri that he needed to go to the bathroom. Kogoro Mouri said it was troublesome and asked the bartender to take Conan away.

Chapter 435 Letter from the Ripper

Conan pretended to go to the bathroom. After coming out, he did not go back to Mouri Kogoro immediately. Instead, he came to the corner and pretended to look at the paintings on the wall with curiosity. In fact, he was listening carefully to the conversation between the three men wearing plush hats.

"Karl, I didn't expect it to be so easy to get."

"Kaven, don't be so loud. We will hand the things over to the professor right after we finish drinking."

"Kada, what are you afraid of? We didn't say what it was. Besides, with our cleaners' clothes on, no one would think we have anything valuable, hehe."

Conan was concentrating on listening to the conversation of these three people. What attracted him was the last word "cleaner". This was the second time he heard this word. Combining them together, Conan already had a vague outline. These three people might be using the identity of cleaners to do something dirty.

As for the commission for the jewel that Kogoro Mouri accepted, the method used to steal the jewel was that someone opened a hole in the exterior wall and stole it. The cleaners were responsible for cleaning the exterior walls. These three people are very suspicious, as well as the professor they mentioned. It seems that this is a gang crime.

After listening for a while, when Conan was about to hear the name of their professor, his body suddenly lightened and he was picked up. Then Kogoro Mouri's voice was heard, "You little kid, are you lost after using the toilet? What's so good about these paintings?"

Conan wanted to struggle, but after hearing the noise here, the three men stopped talking, turned their eyes over to look, and then continued drinking.

Conan was a little discouraged for not being able to get the key information. If it were in reality, he would just throw the bug over, but in this world, all his methods were ineffective, and his rare opportunity to hear clues was interrupted by the lecherous uncle Mouri Kogoro.

"Kid, it's rude to eavesdrop on other people's conversations. If I hadn't discovered it just now, you would have had several holes in your body," Kogoro Mouri said after taking Conan back to his table, took a big sip of wine.

When Conan heard this, he turned his gaze and looked at the three men wearing plush hats in the corner. When he saw the spiked shapes protruding from their waists, his pupils shrank.

"Okay, now you can tell me what you heard just now. You were not really looking at a painting, were you?" After finishing his drink and grabbing a handful of Big Wave, Mouri Kogoro smiled and took Conan out of the tavern. After coming out, Mouri Kogoro immediately regained his consciousness and asked questions as he walked.

Conan was surprised when he saw that Kogoro Mouri knew that he was eavesdropping on the three men.

Kogoro Mouri burped and continued, "Although the wine here is no different from what I drink outside, I don't get drunk that easily."

Only then did Conan discover that Kogoro Mouri also had a vigilant side, and his opinion of this lecherous old man changed a little. He then told Conan the information he had heard.

"Cleaner, hey, could they be the thieves who stole Ms. Taylor's jewels? But there are only two pairs of shoe prints on the wall, and the size of their shoes doesn't match the shoe prints left on the wall," Kogoro Mouri thought for a while, a little confused.

But the clue had been found, so Kogoro Mouri decided to go back to the fat lady and ask how many cleaners were hired.

"!?" While crossing an alley, Kogoro Mouri saw a man squatting on the ground, busy with something in his hands, and the object of his busy work seemed to be a person. He took a few steps closer and could see more clearly that the man squatting on the ground was wearing black clothes and a hat.

The sound of footsteps rang out in the quiet alley, startling the people who were squatting and working.

The man in black turned his head, and a mask with a strange smile appeared in the eyes of Kogoro Mouri and Conan.

When the man in black saw Maori Kogoro and the other man, he immediately stood up and ran out of the alley.

Behind him, Kogoro Mori sprinted at full speed to catch up, shouting as he walked, "Stop, don't run."

Unfortunately, this location was very close to the street, only separated by two alleys. Although Kogoro Mouri ran quite fast, when he arrived at the location where the man in black was, the man had already disappeared.

What was left there was a female corpse whose stomach had been ripped open.
