Poker Club, back door.
The lights inside were bright, forming a sharp contrast with the bleak environment outside.
"That should be Colonel Meng Lang."
Toru Watanabe pointed to a middle-aged man with graying hair but dressed very formally and introduced him to everyone.
"So what should we do now? Should we just go over and ask?" Ayumi asked in a low voice.
"Let's wait and see."
ten minutes later.
Seeing that Colonel Meng Lang had won another hand of cards, Yuan Tai couldn't help but praise him: "Colonel Meng Lang is really good. He always wins money."
"He's just cheating by relying on the monkey next to him." Watanabe Toru said lightly.
"Eh?"
Yuantai was stunned for a moment.
Watanabe Tetsu said: "The right hand represents hearts and spades, and the left hand represents clubs and diamonds. The monkey will eat as many fruits of the same color as the color and number."
As soon as he finished speaking, Hideki Moroboshi walked out and went straight to Colonel Meng Lang to expose his cheating behavior.
"He's cheating."
"What!!"
Moroboshi Hideki's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the room.
Colonel Meng Lang glanced at him, stood up, and looked at Zhu Xingxiushu with a bad look: "Kid, watch your tone. Do you have any evidence that I cheated?"
"Of course." Hideki Moroboshi told the story of the monkey with a confident look on his face.
Suddenly, a man sitting opposite Colonel Meng Lang slammed the table and stood up, pointing at Colonel Meng Lang and shouting: "Meng Lang, you are so despicable."
Colonel Meng Lang snorted nonchalantly, "You are the ones who let yourself be fooled."
"What did you say!!"
Seeing the atmosphere becoming tense, Zhu Xingxiushu unexpectedly pulled out a revolver and pointed it at Colonel Meng Lang, saying, "You can have your quarrel later. Where is Professor Moriarty?"
Hearing the name Professor Moriarty, Colonel Meng Lang lost his composure instantly. He approached Zhu Xing Hideki and asked, "Kid, how did you know this name?"
Hideki Moroboshi was obviously frightened by Colonel Meng Lang's actions. He pulled the trigger in a hurry. With a bang, the bullet grazed Colonel Meng Lang's shoulder, and he fell to the ground while retreating.
"Damn it." Colonel Meng Lang covered his shoulder and shouted loudly: "Catch him for me."
Immediately, Colonel Menglang's subordinates around him stood up and grabbed Hideki Moroboshi and his companions.
"What a foolish fellow."
Watanabe Toru had a blank expression on his face. He didn't care about Hideki Moroboshi's life or death. As long as he could lure Professor Moriarty out, it didn't matter if Hideki Moroboshi died. Besides, his real identity was Noah's Ark. As long as he didn't want to die, he could survive.
Although Toru Watanabe did not intend to take action, Xiaolan beside him did not think so. When she saw Hideki Moroboshi and others in danger, she immediately rushed over.
Watanabe Toru looked helpless and turned to Huiyuan and the others and said, "You guys stay here and don't come out."
After saying that, he also rushed out.
The other side had the advantage in numbers, and confronting them head-on was obviously the most suicidal way. After Watanabe Toru kicked away one of Colonel Menglang's men who was reaching out to grab him, his eyes were fixed on the red wine in the hand of a bearded man.
Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, Watanabe Toru jumped up, snatched the red wine from his hand, then turned over, held the red wine to his chest, and shouted: "Stop, otherwise, I will throw this bottle of wine."
Seeing Watanabe Toru about to throw the red wine, Colonel Meng Lang's face changed drastically, but he quickly regained his composure. He pointed his gun at Watanabe Toru and said coldly, "Kid, what do you think a bottle of red wine is? Do you think a bottle of red wine can threaten me?"
"Really?" Watanabe Toru sighed, "Since you don't care, I'll just throw this bottle of red wine away."
"You... hateful..."
Just as the two sides were on the verge of a fight, the door of the club opened, and an old man wearing a hat and robe walked in. He said to everyone, "Excuse me, everyone, Lord Moriarty wants to see you. He is waiting for you in the carriage outside. Please come this way."
Having said that, he turned around and walked out.
"Please wait a moment."
Colonel Meng Lang called out to the old man, and just as he was about to say something, the old man turned around and said in a cold voice, "You want to disobey Lord Moriarty, don't you?"
Colonel Meng Lang's expression changed slightly and he didn't dare to continue speaking.
"Let's go."
Watanabe Toru winked at Xiaolan and followed her.
Although no one knew why Toru Watanabe could threaten Colonel Menglang with a bottle of red wine, since the crisis was resolved, Xiaolan and others naturally would not continue to stay in this dangerous place, and left the club with Toru Watanabe.
Sure enough, a carriage was parked near the club entrance. The old man in the hat walked to the side of the carriage, bowed, and said respectfully to the people inside: "I have brought them here."
"Thank you for your hard work." A man's voice came from the carriage (Zhao's): "Okay, little brother, leave the bottle of red wine to me."
Watanabe Toru was too lazy to play hide-and-seek with him, so he got straight to the point and said, "I didn't expect that the famous Professor Moriarty also likes to play role-playing games."
Moriarty was slightly startled, then he straightened his hunched back, looked at Watanabe Toru, and asked, "How did you tell that?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Professor Moriarty got off the carriage and exchanged hats with him.
Watanabe Toru said calmly, "Colonel Monlang just said 'Please wait a moment' to you. He only uses honorifics when addressing Professor Moriarty. Also, you smell of natural vanilla perfume."
"Beautiful." Professor Moriarty praised Watanabe Toru without hiding his praise: "Just like a miniature version of Sherlock Holmes. By the way, what do you want to see me about?"
408. Actress who looks like Yukiko
Watanabe Toru said: "The man called Jack the Ripper was released onto the streets by the professor in order to turn London into a city of terror, right?"
"You're only half right," Moriarty confessed. "Jack the Ripper was a homeless child I picked up in the slums. Although he was abandoned by his mother and wandered the streets, I immediately sensed his talent, his talent as a criminal. So, I trained him to be a first-class killer..."
"Why would you kill an innocent woman?" Xiaolan frowned. "I don't understand."
"Jack the Ripper became a murderer beyond my imagination. This series of events is the result of that child losing control." Moriarty said kindly, "If you want to deal with Jack the Ripper, then I will also assist you."
His answer surprised everyone: "Assist? Assist?"
"Although Jack the Ripper is out of control, he will still do it as long as I give the order to kill..." Moriah said, "You just need to go around and wait for him."
"What should we do then?" Xiaolan asked.
"I'll put a message for him in the advertising section of tomorrow's Sunday Times."
"Then, who do you want him to kill?" Mitsuhiko asked hurriedly.
Professor Moriarty smiled mysteriously and said, "You'll find out when you read the newspaper at 680."
His words gave everyone a bad feeling.
Moroboshi Hideki stepped forward and said, "Hey, do you really want to believe what this person says?"
"Now, we can only gamble and see." Huiyuan said lightly: "Otherwise, do you have a better idea?"
Hideki Moroboshi shut his mouth wisely.
"Then I wish you good luck."
Professor Moriarty boarded the carriage and said goodbye to everyone.
……
"What should we do next?" asked Hideki Moroboshi.
Watanabe Toru said calmly, "We'll have to wait until tomorrow to discuss this. Let's just find a place nearby and get some sleep today."
Everyone was silent. Without any better solution, they could only do as Watanabe Toru said.
The streets were quiet and no pedestrians were seen.
In a relatively safe corner, Ayumi huddled up and asked Watanabe Toru who was sitting next to her: "Toru, can we survive?"
Watanabe Toru nodded: "Yes."
"If I don't survive, Xiao Che will definitely win. We all believe in this."
From being full of excitement before entering the game, after entering the game, seeing other participants fail one after another, Ayumi is no longer as confident as before.
Watanabe Toru rubbed her head and comforted her: "Don't worry, we won't fail."
On the other side, Hideki Moroboshi sat against the wall with his eyes closed, seemingly taking a rest. Several friends around him were also in a very low mood. They watched with their own eyes as another partner fell off the bridge. Perhaps, they would be the next one?
After an agonizing wait, the eastern sky finally began to turn white.
After a night's rest, everyone regained some energy.
The streets in the Whitechapel area gradually became lively, with people coming and going, creating a peaceful scene.
"Jack the Ripper has reappeared, this time with two victims."
A newsboy was holding a newspaper and shouting out today's big news.
coming.
Watanabe Toru waved to the newsboy: "Give me a newspaper."
"it is good."
The newsboy ran over, handed a newspaper to Watanabe Toru, and then took the money for the newspaper from him.
"Well, is there anything written on it?"
The others also gathered around.
Watanabe Toru spread out the newspaper, found the advertisement column, and said, "I found it. Here it is. Go clean the stage of the opera house tonight. M has a message for J."
"M's message to J," Huibara said from the side. "Does this mean Professor Moriarty's message to Jack the Ripper? The so-called clearing of the opera house stage should be an order."
"In other words, Jack the Ripper was sent to kill the actors performing on stage, right?" Xiaolan guessed.
Watanabe Toru continued to flip through the newspaper and soon found another piece of news.
"A triumphal performance, featuring Irene Andora, the idol of the Watsa Royal Opera... It seems Jack the Ripper is targeting her this time. Professor Moriarty really knows how to choose his targets."
Watanabe Toru clicked his tongue.
Moroboshi Hideki asked curiously, "Who is this Irene Andora?"
Xiaolan explained: "It is said that she is the only woman Holmes has ever loved in his life."
"How despicable." Ayumi and others were indignant: "How could Professor Moriarty do this?"
"That's his nature." Watanabe Toru put away the newspaper and said calmly, "Now that we know who Jack the Ripper's target is, let's not waste time here and hurry to the opera house."
……
Since the performance didn't start until the evening, everyone stayed outside until sunset. Then, at Xiaolan's suggestion, they bought a bouquet of flowers and went to the back door of the opera house.
However, the unfamiliar faces were stopped directly by the management.
He shouted, "No one except relevant personnel is allowed to enter this place."
Xiaolan quickly thought of a solution and said, "Well...we are friends of Irene Andora, and we want to encourage her before the show officially starts."
Hearing that they were Irene Andora's friends, the man's expression suddenly relaxed and his tone became much gentler: "So you are her friends."
"Yes, may I ask where is Irene Andora's lounge?"
The man said truthfully, "It's in the room with the poster."
"Thank you."
The few people thanked the man, walked into the opera house, and followed the instructions to come to the room with the poster.
"This is it." Xiaolan looked at the poster of Irene Andora and said with some anticipation, "I wonder what kind of person she is."
As she said that, she knocked on the door.
Soon, a response came from inside: "Come in."
A group of people pushed the door open and walked in.
"excuse me."
Irene Andora, who was resting, stood up and looked back at them. Seeing that very familiar face, Xiaolan couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's Shinichi's mother."
"How rude! I'm still single." Irene Andora, who looked like Kudo Yukiko, put her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction, then said playfully, "To be precise, I'm single again after my divorce."
