Why did Professor Moriarty stand in Teacher Yuan’s face?
Could it be that this is also dad’s bad taste?
But dad didn’t know Mr. Yuan at all before...
Did Dr. Ali tell him when he went to the United States?
But... Could it be that the image of Mr. Yuan being deliberately set up as Professor Moriarty, the leader of the black side, is some kind of hint?
For a time, countless thoughts flashed through Conan's mind.
He looked around and found that neither the three little ones nor Xiaolan seemed to have any reaction to Professor Moriarty, who had a Yuanhuayu face.
He realized that not everyone seemed to be able to see that face, otherwise the three little ones might have shouted loudly long ago.
And when Conan turned his gaze to Haiyuan, he immediately noticed that an earthquake was happening in her pupils.
When the group of people followed Professor Moriarty halfway towards the luxurious long table, Conan's steps staggered and he walked beside Haibara Ai.
"Hey, Haiyuan..."
Hui Yuan Ai suddenly turned her head and stared at him: "Did you see it too?"
"Hmm..." Conan nodded.
After a cursory observation, he was basically convinced that only he and Huiyuan could see Yuan Huaiyu's face.
There must be some deep meaning in this...
Conan temporarily put away the endless doubts in his heart and finally did not forget that his most important task now was to lead a group of people through the game and rescue the fifty people trapped in Noah's Ark.
Professor Moriarty took a seat at the top of the long table. Conan sat on the seat on his left without hesitation and asked his question straight to the point.
"That Jack the Ripper was the man the professor put on the streets to make London a capital of terror, right?"
In Conan's view, with Jack the Ripper's skill and difficult-to-catch criminal behavior, Conan himself would feel ridiculous for this London crime boss if he had no relationship with Professor Moriarty.
What's more, Sherlock Holmes's information also pointed out exactly this point.
"You only answered half of this right..."
Professor Moriarty glanced at the people sitting and standing around the long table and said slowly:
"Jack the Ripper is a street kid I picked up in the slums."
"Although he was a street boy who was abandoned by his mother and lived on the streets, I could sense his talent at a glance - his talent as a criminal."
Professor Moriarty was lost in memories.
"I trained him to be a first-class killer."
Xiao Lanfa asked: "Then why do you want to kill innocent women? I don't understand..."
"Because he has become a murderer beyond my imagination. This series of cases are the result of the child losing control."
Professor Moriarty suddenly showed a sinister smile that was invisible to anyone, and said:
"If you want to deal with Jack the Ripper, then I'm here to help you."
But when this smile fell into the eyes of Conan and Huihara Ai, it was extremely inconsistent, because they had never seen such a terrifying expression on Yuan Huaiyu's face.
"assist?"
"Although Jack the Ripper has begun to lose control, if I give an order to kill, he will still comply..."
Professor Moriarty looked at Conan: "You just need to go around and wait for him."
"I'll put a message for him in the Sunday Times ad tomorrow."
Conan's heart tightened, and he lowered his head and asked, without looking at the face that could easily put him in trouble, "Who are you going to order him to kill?"
"Just read tomorrow's newspaper and you'll find out."
Professor Moriarty took the time to pour himself a glass of wine, sipping it lightly while looking at the group of people in front of him, waiting for their reply.
"Hey! Wearing glasses, do you really believe what this old man says?"
Zhuxing looked at Conan.
"Let's take a gamble and see." Conan concluded.
After all, without Moriarty's clue, they didn't know how long it would take to find traces of Jack the Ripper.
"Then I wish you good luck."
Professor Moriarty sipped the wine and revealed a meaning in his words: You can leave now.
Conan took another look at the face that made him feel weird, jumped down from his seat, and was about to leave the poker club.
They are very pressed for time and cannot waste a single minute.
But before he took two steps, he stopped.
The people following him looked at him and turned their heads and said to Professor Moriarty:
"Please be careful about the Reichenbach Falls in three years' time."
After saying this, he walked towards the door without looking back.
When the group of people went out, one of the naughty children asked curiously: "What does Reichenbach Falls mean?"
"Professor Moriarty will face off with Sherlock Holmes at the Reichenbach Falls in Switzerland three years later."
Xiao Lan explained: "Although Holmes will miraculously survive afterwards, Professor Moriarty will die there."
"But why would I remind him to pay attention..." Conan said to himself.
From the standpoint of a Sherlock Holmes detective, this reminder seems unreasonable.
You know, Professor Moriarty is like a cancer, deeply rooted in London of this era.
"Maybe it's because I like this bad guy about as much as I like Sherlock Holmes."
Xiaolan opened her eyes wide and looked at Conan. She seemed to remember that Shinichi had said similar words, and that was when they went to Dorobiga Paradise.
Shinichi's voice and smile appeared in her mind, but she couldn't remember exactly what Shinichi said at that time.
At this time, Haihara Ai, who had not participated in the entire interaction, suddenly patted Conan on the shoulder and winked at him.
"You guys go find a place to live first. I want to meet that person again."
Hui Yuan Ai whispered.
Conan saw her hand pointing towards the poker club and said in surprise: "Haiyuan, you..."
"I still need to confirm some things that concern me." Haiyuan Ai said softly.
"...Okay, please be safe." That familiar but old face appeared in Conan's mind.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Haihara Ai glanced at Colonel Meng Lang who was looking at them across the street: "Don't worry, it's just in the game, the worst case scenario is just to be eliminated.
.”
After saying that, she turned around and opened the door of the poker club and walked in.
Her actions quickly attracted the attention of others.
"Hey, you..."
"Haiyuan?"
Conan, who had already been angry with her, immediately stood up and said: "She seems to have something else to ask Professor Moriarty. She asked us to find a place to live first, and she will meet us later.
.”
"That's it..."
…
Haihara Ai walked into the poker club and saw the only guest at a glance.
James Yuanhuaiyu Moriarty was still drinking alone, and had no intention of calling Colonel Menglong outside the door to come in.
He raised his head and looked at Hui Yuan Ai who was approaching.
"Are you the little girl from the group just now? Do you have anything else to do with me?"
The underground emperor of London looked at the wine in the goblet in his hand, and glanced at Haiyuan Ai out of the corner of his eye.
"Okay, stop pretending. You can fool those people, but you can't fool me."
Haihara Ai was not polite at all, he pulled out a chair without any restraint, sat on it and looked at Moriarty with strange eyes.
I saw that Professor Moriarty, who was originally full of mafia bosses and godfathers of the criminal world, became casual in an instant. He leaned back in his chair and looked at Haibara Ai, and his voice changed from oppressive to easy-going and lazy.
"How did you find out?"
He crossed his legs and drank the wine in the glass.
Hui Yuan Ai smiled slightly: "Intuition."
From the first moment she saw Professor Moriarty with Yuan Huaiyu's face, the image of this fifty-year-old man in her mind increasingly overlapped with that of Yuan Huaiyu himself.
Whether it was the demeanor, tone of voice, certain details in the movements, or her sixth sense, they all told her that the core of the character in this game was exactly the person she was extremely familiar with.
"But what I don't understand is that logically speaking, only the fifty of us in the 'Cocoon' can enter this game... Why can you also participate and play a non-player role?"
Hui Yuan Ai asked doubtfully.
"Because I also want to experience the addiction of this epoch-making real virtual game."
Yuan Huaiyu's answer was somewhat off-topic, and he didn't mention how he got into the game at all.
"As you can see, although I am talking to you now, I can only slightly change Professor Moriarty's course of action, such as inviting you to the poker club."
"In the originally preset plot, Professor Moriarty will publish instructions in the newspaper instructing Jack the Ripper to commit murder, and then ask the players to wait and wait in advance to track down Jack the Ripper."
Yuan Huaiyu had nothing to hide or avoid from Haiyuan Ai, and directly informed her of the script briefly.
"Who was the man you asked Jack the Ripper to kill?"
Hui Yuan Ai couldn't help but ask.
"A woman whom Holmes admired, the person who changed Holmes' view of women."
"You mean..." Haiyuan Ai took a deep breath.
"Yes, Irene Adler, this is the woman who is about to be assassinated by Jack the Ripper - but don't worry, if so many of you work together to protect that lady, the worst result will be just a few outs.
It’s just an individual.”
Yuan Huaiyu shrugged.
"By the way, you have to help me bring a message to that boy Conan."
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Let's just say that there is always a way out. If you are good at making use of existing conditions, you can always find a seemingly impossible way out."
"Is this considered encouragement?" Hui Yuan Ai looked at him.
"No, this is a reminder." Yuan Huaiyu smiled slightly.
"Okay. I will definitely bring the message to you." Haiyuan Ai nodded and was about to leave the poker club.
Before leaving the house, she suddenly turned around and said, "By the way, will you have any roles on this stage in the future?"
Yuan Huaiyu shook his head.
"It's basically gone. I wish you good luck."
His expression straightened up, as if he had turned into the Professor Moriarty who no one could see through.
The professor greeted loudly toward the door: "Meng Lang, come in."
"Professor, what are your orders?"
A figure half-opened the door. Colonel Meng Lang, who was regarded as arrogant by others, was as well-behaved as a little quail.
"Send her back."
"yes."
Colonel Meng Lang respectfully agreed, closed the door, and gave a slight salute to Hui Yuan Ai who was standing next to him:
"Madam, please come with me and I will drive for you. Where are you going back?"
"221 Baker Street B."
Hui Yuan Ai said calmly. She knew that there was a high probability that others would find a place to live nearby.
"???"
Colonel Meng Lang beside her was stunned.
Isn't that where the professor's nemesis Sherlock Holmes lives?
…
Early the next morning, a group of people arrived near the Whitechapel area before it was completely light.
This is where Jack the Ripper murdered several women.
Because he was concerned about the records related to the pair of rings in Sherlock Holmes's notebook, he deliberately came to the church where the second victim, Honey Charlest, was killed today.
"There is no end to the road... Why did Professor Moriarty ask Haiyuan to tell me this sentence... What is the meaning of it?"
Conan walked around the ruins of the grassland, and the words that Hui Yuan Ai told him last night came to mind.
[Forget it, don’t think about this first...]
"This is where Honey Charlest's body was found..."
He checked the surrounding area, trying to find out if there were any undiscovered clues left here.
Suddenly, the notice at the door of the church attracted his attention.
"A parent-child charity bazaar will also be held on the second Saturday in October..."
"I remember the day Honey Charlest was killed as if..."
He recalled the information he had read in Sherlock Holmes' notes.
"September 8th, Saturday! In other words, on the day she was killed, this church happened to hold a parent-child charity bazaar..."
At the same time, he thought of the pair of rings, one large and one small.
"Wait, could it be Jack the Ripper?"
Like a beam of light illuminating the chaotic darkness, some possibility suddenly appeared in his mind.
…
"The communication on the fifth stage is back to normal!"
Dr. A Li's shout instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the control room.
As time went by, everyone in the venue felt increasingly heavy.
Because among the five game stages, except for the last London stage, most of the players in the other stages have basically been eliminated.
But the reason why these people can still feel the existence of hope is the fifth stage where Conan and his friends are.
"No one among them has been eliminated yet, so they should be the ones most likely to pass the level!"
"Doctor, can you find out what happened?"
Kudo Yusaku looked at the screen in the game.
"I don't know, everything seems to be normal. They have obtained the opportunity to meet Jack the Ripper through Professor Moriarty."
Dr. A Li's face was sweating.
"But when I wanted to get the game log from last night, I could only see a bunch of gibberish."
"Garbled code...What exactly is Noah's Ark covering up?"
