Ke Xue: Xiaolan delivers goods to your door at the beginning

"This is Ms. Irene Adler's dressing room. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter."

"Um, we are..."

Conan had intended to use his childhood advantage and appeal to his emotions to try and get away with it, but the sudden turn of events made him nervous, and before he knew it, he instinctively spoke in Japanese.

But they were British and couldn't understand it at all.

Lin Yi, who was in a bad mood, stopped.

Fortunately, Lin Xiaofeng was there to protect them.

He changed into a pure London accent and said in the pre-conference agreement: "We are all loyal fans of Eileen Ed: the female singer, and we want to cheer her on before the performance."

"Oh, I see!"

[A fan named] Yi Qun heard that Yi Qun was a fan who came to support Yi Qun. Looking at the young man in front of him, he was handsome with fair skin and dressed in fine clothes. He really looked like a young master from a wealthy family. The male person in charge immediately smiled and stepped aside to let him pass, while also making a gesture of invitation.

"Then please come in, everyone."

So Lin Xiaofeng made it through without incident.

Conan then passed smoothly, as did the other two, including Hideki Moroboshi.

When it was Hattori Heiji's turn, the male person in charge suddenly coughed lightly.

"Sorry, farm tools are not allowed inside."

"……What?"

Hattori Heiji was stunned. He didn't understand what the other person was saying at first, but judging from their expression, it seemed that they didn't want him to go over.

Why is that? Is it because of a roller coaster with a limited number of passengers per ride?

Conan's English was slightly better than his, and he understood the gist of it, almost bursting out laughing.

Lin Xiaofeng understood best. He stopped and turned around to explain while Hattori Heiji was still in a daze.

"He was with us, he's our friend, and he's a pure Japanese, just a bit dark-skinned, not... well."

"Oh, oh, I'm so sorry! Please forgive my mistake, please come in!"

Upon realizing that he had made a mistake, the person in charge immediately bowed deeply in apology.

Hattori Heiji still looked bewildered, but since they had let him through, there was no problem.

Afterwards, he approached Lin Xiaofeng and the others and lowered his voice.

"Hey, what was that guy doing? Why did he suddenly stop me from coming in, and then inexplicably let me in again?"

“He is…” Lin Xiaofeng hesitated for a moment before saying, “He noticed that your skin color was different from ours, so he assumed we weren’t together.”

"Huh? How could you get this wrong?"

Heiji Hattori had a distorted expression on his face.

"Besides, didn't we come together? How could you get that wrong?"

"Anyway... that's how it is. We've already gotten through it, so let's not dwell on it."

Conan reached out to pat him on the shoulder to comfort him, but he was too tall to reach him, so he had to settle for patting his kidney instead.

Actually, it would have been better if he had just talked but not filmed. But the moment he filmed, Hattori Heiji became suspicious.

After all, the kid's actions really did seem to say "be strong".

So he carefully recalled what the person in charge had said, translated it in his mind word by word, and then polished it and matched it with the context.

Instantly, that dark face turned even darker.

"That damn old man..."

They actually mistook him for an African!

"That's why I told you not to overthink it." Conan's lips twitched slightly.

As they spoke, the six of them arrived at the entrance of the dressing room.

Lin Xiaofeng gently knocked on the door. After three knocks, a soft voice came from inside: "Please come in."

It was a surprisingly pleasant female voice.

Since they couldn't hear clearly through the door, Hattori Heiji and the others didn't have any other thoughts.

But for Lin Xiaofeng, who was already extremely familiar with all the tones of this voice, high, medium, and low, it was a different story.

Hiss~ That familiar voice, could it be...?

The door opened, and in the dressing room filled with the faint scent of rouge, a slender woman in a gorgeous dress sat with her back to the door in front of the dressing table, her long brown curly hair cascading down her back like a waterfall.

When she turned around, everyone except Lin Xiaofeng and Conan, who had expected it, was shocked by her appearance.

Especially Hattori Heiji.

"Hey, isn't this Kudo's mom?"

That's right, the character Irene Adler in the game is based on Yukiko Kudo's image, and they look exactly the same as the real person.

In real life, Yukiko would probably smile and make a peace sign if she were said that, but Irene Adler in the game wouldn't.

Instead, she seemed a little angry and said, "How rude of me! I'm still a single woman, or more accurately, a single woman who got married and then divorced."

It matches up! It matches up!

As Lin Xiaofeng pondered this, he took the flowers from Conan and handed them to Eileen Adler.

"Well, compared to that, Ms. Adler, you must have already seen today's morning paper. Jack the Ripper will attack you during the performance."

“I’ve seen it before~” Eileen Adler hummed, nodding her lips.

"That's good," Lin Xiaofeng said. "So if possible, we hope you can cancel tonight's performance."

"Canceling the performance is definitely not an option..."

Eileen Adler pouted.

"By the way, may I ask who you are?"

"Lin Xiaofeng is a detective."

"Oh, a detective..."

Eileen Adler stared at the ceiling for a while, then suddenly snapped her fingers and stepped forward in her high heels, getting so close that her face was almost touching Lin Xiaofeng's nose. Her face, which looked exactly like Yukiko's, wore the same mischievous smile.

"So, if I insist on performing, you'll protect me?"

Yes, I will protect you.

Lin Xiaofeng answered truthfully.

"Oh ho~ then it's up to you, dear Detective~ Mr~"

Eileen Elingdler smiled and finished speaking, then suddenly turned and stood to the side of the person in front of her, taking the boy's arm without any shyness, completely unconcerned that there were other people behind them.

While still in shock, Hattori Heiji gently kicked Conan's calf.

"Why does it seem like...your mom is quite interested in Lin Xiaofeng?"

"right?"

Conan's lips twitched as he said, "My mom has been Lin Xiaofeng's woman for a long time."

However, Conan could not have imagined that even in the game, his unmarried and single mother would still fall in love with Lin Xiaofeng.

The perspective shifts again, and the theater is bustling with activity. The performance of "Eileen Er Ai (De Le San's Kai)" has already begun.

All the spotlights were focused on the figure on the stage, the one everyone was looking forward to. A beautiful woman with long, flowing brown hair, dressed in gorgeous clothes, clasped her hands in front of her chest, closed her eyes, raised her face at a 45-degree angle, and sang a melody that sounded like a Madonna aria with a beautiful voice that was full of emotion.

And below the stage were hundreds of musicians.

Some carried violins on their shoulders, others held cellos in their arms, each with their own clear division of labor and seamless cooperation, presenting a perfect performance to all the guests in the hall. Everyone present showed a mesmerized expression, as if they were bathed in the glory of God.

Tonight, the grand orchestral atmosphere enveloped the entire opera house.

Ling was hiding in a secluded corner of the forest, closest to the Dream Dance Stage, where three or five clueless guys were whispering among themselves.

"Wow, I didn't expect your mom, Kudo, to sing so well!" Hattori Heiji said, looking at the stage.

"This...it shouldn't be her singing, right?"

Conan scratched his head.

"It's probably a song audio loaded directly from the game's resources, but do you really think it sounds good?"

"...Okay, it's really not that bad."

Hattori Heiji spoke the truth. He turned to Lin Xiaofeng, who had been silent all along, nudged him gently with his elbow, and winked.

"These kinds of things should be left to Yukiko's respectable boyfriend to say. How did you like tonight's performance?"

"This is clearly an album that Yukiko sang on before."

No one understands Yukiko better than Lin Xiaofeng.

468. Game code is also life!

Although he was a true Londoner, he simply had absolutely no interest in stage opera culture.

In contrast, Lin Xiaofeng was more concerned about something else.

"You sent those three kids to keep watch at each entrance and exit, but they haven't made a move yet."

He was naturally asking about Conan.

Conan predicted that Jack the Ripper would definitely attack Irene Adler on stage during the performance, since Professor Moriarty's instruction was to "clean the stage."

If they're going to make a move on stage, they absolutely cannot just swagger in through the main entrance.

So the most likely explanation is that, just like they did back then, they sneaked in from behind the scenes.

There are only a few entrances and exits leading from backstage to the stage, and there are staff members walking around everywhere backstage. Jack the Ripper could never have done it in such full view of everyone.

Therefore, even sending children on lookout missions is relatively safe.

As for the task Conan gave him, it was very simple: whenever he saw someone sneaking around from backstage trying to sneak onto the stage, he should immediately sound the alarm.

But now, almost twenty minutes into the performance, the alarm bells still haven't rung, and everything seems as calm as ever.

"Um……"

Conan also felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it. He could only pinch his chin and ponder for a moment.

Lin Xiaofeng turned his gaze back to the stage: "Actually, in terms of success rate, setting the theater on fire is the easiest way. There's no need to infiltrate or kill people in public. Just use fire to force people out, because people are least vigilant when they think they've escaped danger, and that's when it's safest to act."

Conan "..."

Hattori Heiji "..."

Conan looked away and shook his head: "To be honest, sometimes I really doubt whether you are really M6. Why are you so proficient in this kind of thing?"

Lin Xiaofeng said noncommittally: "It's precisely because I was once an M6 member that I'm so skilled. You don't think that all the intelligence organizations in various countries are good people, do you? The essential conditions for becoming an executive investigator are combat ability and professional competence, not the ability to talk big."

What you said makes so much sense that I can't refute it.

Conan clicked his tongue inwardly, fell silent, and refocused his attention on the rustling of the wind and the sounds around him.

Just then, the music in the hall paused briefly.

tick.

In the quiet environment, a particularly abrupt noise suddenly entered Conan's ears.

It sounds a bit like the ticking of the second hand on an old-fashioned clock...

"careful!"

Before Conan could even react to what had just happened, he and Heiji Hattori were suddenly pulled to the side by Lin Xiaofeng and thrown into the air.

The next second, a burst of firelight erupted beneath the stage where they had been standing, accompanied by a deafening roar, and a powerful tremor swept across the ground, reaching the soles of everyone's feet.

boom!

It's a bomb!

It's Jack the Ripper!

In an instant, everyone in the entire performance hall was suddenly awakened.

Professor Moriarty's information to Jack the Ripper was published in the newspaper. In an era before the internet, when people could only learn about current events through newspapers, this was tantamount to openly declaring his intention to carry out a terrorist attack.
