Unlike the Sherlock Holmes characters, he is more pure and more naked, a monster whose spirit and will are completely contrary to ordinary humans.

At this moment, Sonoko, who was infatuated with the girl, only had one thought: Thank goodness this isn't the real Yoshiki-san!

Although that face was undeniably alluring, and even that pure evil had its own unique charm,... because it resembled Yoshiki-san, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Xiao Lan nodded, her forehead also covered in cold sweat.

She was just wondering if this was some kind of prank by Yoshiki-nii, but... in any case, the person on the other end could not possibly be the gentle and kind Yoshiki-nii!

"Alright, don't interrupt my wine-drinking time too much. Colonel Moran went to great lengths to find this fine wine for me, but unfortunately, I can't use it to entertain children like you..."

Moriarty glanced at the time. "You're looking for Jack the Ripper, aren't you?"

"That's right..."

"It seems you couldn't find Sherlock Holmes. Did you decide to come here to find me after reading his research on Jack the Ripper?"

"How did you know?" "Mr. Holmes went to Dartmore."

"Or perhaps he's nearby."

"What do you mean?"

"...It's nothing, but since you want to deal with Jack the Ripper, I'll help you out."

"assist!?"

Conan and the others were visibly surprised upon hearing this.

"Although he has started to go berserk and become uncontrollable, he should still obey if I give the order to kill."

Moriarty's face held an air of refined arrogance. "You just need to get there first and wait for him."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Will his uncontrollability cause me trouble, or would you find it unbelievable to punish evil with evil?"

"...So what should we do?"

"I will publish the news in tomorrow's Sunday Times. As for the details, please read the newspaper tomorrow."

The conversation ended there.

Conan and his friends were asked to leave the club. Before leaving, Ran and Sonoko couldn't help but glance at Hayashi Yoshiki, who called himself Moriarty.

Tsuyoshi didn't mean anything by it, but he felt that if Yoshiki were here, he might be able to find a way to beat the game very quickly.

But after finally meeting "Brother Jiashu", he discovered that he was actually the main villain in the game.

"Please be careful of the Reichenbach Falls three years from now, Professor."

Before leaving, Conan couldn't help but say something.

Although he is a Sherlock Holmes fan, he also quite likes the villain Moriarty—of course, only in entertainment works.

It was Moriarty's use of Hayashi Yoshiki's image that made him feel very uneasy.

Moriarty smiled without saying a word.

I waited until they left.

“Send some clever ones to keep an eye on Mrs. Holmes’s landlady and our dear Inspector Lestrade.”

"As for the whereabouts of those children, I need to have someone keep an eye on them for me."

After sitting down in his assigned seat, Lin Jiashu gave some instructions to his subordinates.

His goal in the game was to kill Sherlock Holmes.

Therefore, unless Noah's Ark doesn't want him to have the complete game experience, then Sherlock Holmes must exist here.

Are they hiding?

Or perhaps it's hidden in the Reichenbach Falls, which is related to his fate—after all, that's the only place where Moriarty and Holmes dueled.

Of course, he might also be secretly observing Conan and his friends—after all, according to the original script, Holmes is their key teammate, and he can't just disappear from beginning to end without ever showing his face.

In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Time flies very fast in the game, and before you know it, it's the second night.

Following the original story, Hayashi Yoshiki's order to Jack the Ripper was to clean the opera house stage.

The latter did it very decisively.

On the night of the opera performance, an explosion occurred on the stage, causing the entire building to sway and collapse. Conan and his friends suffered several more casualties in order to save Jack the Ripper's assassination target, Irene Adler.

Before Lin Jiashu's time travel, Holmes' feelings for Irene Adler in the Sherlock Holmes series were limited to respect for a brave and intelligent woman. He was even a misogynist who only felt curious and admiring of Irene Adler because he thought she was very smart and could even deceive him.

However, in the Conan universe, Irene Adler is portrayed as the only woman Holmes ever loved in his life.

Even when Irene Adler was in danger, Holmes still did not show up.

But Conan and his friends tracked down Jack the Ripper, who was preparing to escape after his failed assassination attempt, and followed him all the way to Charlie Cross Station, where they boarded the last train.

After communicating with the flight attendants and confirming that Jack the Ripper was hiding in the carriage, the flight attendants, realizing the seriousness of the situation, immediately gathered all the passengers into one carriage.

"According to the information written by Mr. Holmes, the second person killed by Jack the Ripper who was hiding here, Honey Chariste, was married in a small town called Windsor. However, she was a woman full of dreams who abandoned her husband and children for London ten years ago."

"Two rings, one large and one small, were left at the scene of her murder."

"One ring was Honey's, and the other smaller one was clearly a child's size... Holmes wondered if the two rings might be proof of the parent-child relationship between the victim and Jack the Ripper."

"But Professor Moriarty's gifted education turned Jack the Ripper into a criminal with an abnormal personality. Even though he had avenged his mother, he still attacked women who resembled his mother."

Because wearing a fixed-size ring from childhood can restrict finger development, the remaining Conan, Ran, and Hiroki Sawada discovered Jack the Ripper disguised as a woman among all the passengers.

Once discovered, the other party immediately tore off their disguise and threw a smoke bomb as Xiaolan rushed up.

After Conan and Hiroki opened the car windows to dissipate the smoke, all the passengers in the carriage had vanished without a trace, and Ran and Jack the Ripper had also disappeared completely.

The script was about to reach its climax.

Outside the "cocoon," backstage, Thomas Sindora glanced at the message she had just received on her phone.

"A week later, bring us the operating data of the cocoon with Hiroki Sawada."

Looking at the contents above, Thomas Sindora broke out in a cold sweat.

It's those guys again...

Although they were indeed major benefactors, bringing Thomas Sindora countless riches, after getting to know the people of that mysterious organization, he felt only fear in his heart.

Moreover, the other party also holds some fatal evidence against him.

Thomas Sindora was powerless to resist.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of the "Noah's Ark" developed by Hiroki.

If we use Noah's Ark, we might be able to find the people from that mysterious organization, and if we could turn the tables and get leverage over them—

The data on "Cocoon" doesn't matter, but Thomas Sindora has no intention of letting go of a genius like Hiroki.

suddenly,

"Chairman!"

A programmer suddenly rushed over, his face looking somewhat grave.

"what's up?"

"A corporate spy has infiltrated and seems to have copied some data from Mr. Kashimura's studio."

"What!?"

Before Thomas Sindora could respond, Tadahiro Kashimura immediately stood up: "What's going on? Did you call the police?!"

"We'll call the police right now!"

"Wait a minute—"

"My computer has the DNA tracking program developed by Hiroki! If that thing gets stolen—"

You mean DNA tracking programs?

Thomas Sindora, who had just told the programmers to wait, suddenly changed her expression upon hearing about the DNA tracking program.

—That program contains evidence that he is a descendant of Jack the Ripper.

Chapter 278: Hayashi Yoshiki forces Kudo Yusaku to jump off the train

The train, now without a driver and conductor, sped along the tracks at full speed.

After searching for a while, Hiroki and Conan finally discovered that Jack the Ripper was with Ran on the roof of the train!

“I tied myself to this lady with a rope, meaning that if I fell, she would fall with me.”

The Jack the Ripper who revealed his true form was a young man with fiery red hair and androgynous features.

He tied Xiaolan up with a rope, connecting the other end to himself, and looked at the two kids with a mocking expression, holding a dagger.

"You bastard...!"

Conan couldn't help but grit his teeth.

At that moment, Jack the Ripper suddenly rushed towards him, the cold glint of his dagger flashing as he swung it.

Conan hurriedly dodged, using his short stature to avoid Jack the Ripper's continuous knife swings, narrowly escaping his attacks.

"Just running away won't get me. There are still a little over ten minutes until the final stop. What will happen to this driverless train in the end?"

Jack the Ripper grinned menacingly.

Ten minutes...

This is probably the final time limit left for players to complete the game.

Conan gave a stern smile.

Although it's nerve-wracking, it's just a game where there's no penalty for failure. It's just that if you can't beat it after getting this far, you'll definitely feel a little disappointed.

"Let's give it our all!"

Hiroki then spoke up.

So the two children mustered all their strength and charged at the murderer from the top of the speeding train.

The two worked together surprisingly well and fought Jack the Ripper for a long time, but in the end Jack the Ripper seized the opportunity to separate them and grabbed Conan by the neck and slammed him down.

"hateful!"

Hiroki, who was kicked and almost fell off the train, gritted his teeth, while Ran suddenly remembered Conan's warning to Moriarty, "Be careful of Reichenbach Falls three years from now," and thought of Hayashi Yoshiki's face as Moriarty. Then she recalled the famous quote about Sherlock Holmes that Kudo Shinichi had mentioned.

"If it were truly possible to destroy you, I would gladly embrace death for the sake of the public good."

Even though it's just a game, we can't let ourselves be tied up here and hold others back.

Ran struggled to her feet, but before she could act, the murderer, who was holding a dagger and preparing to disembowel Conan, suddenly shuddered.

He lowered his head in disbelief.

A bloodstain was slowly spreading across his chest.

Conan, who had been pinned down, also opened his eyes wide. As Jack the Ripper collapsed from exhaustion, he suddenly sat up and looked in the direction from which the bullet had come, only to see a flash of light hidden in the darkness.

"A sniper rifle!?"

He found it hard to believe.

"What's going on?!"

Hiroki, who almost fell, finally climbed back up.

Seeing Jack the Ripper fall to the ground, Conan broke out in a cold sweat.

"It's Moriarty..."

"what?"

"He originally intended to get rid of Jack the Ripper, he just used us to get him onto the train. He had snipers lying in ambush here all along!"

"Then what do we do now?"

After some commotion, Conan and his two friends finally returned to the train car and headed straight for the last freight car.

This train, speeding at full speed, cannot be stopped.
