The next evening, Conan led a group of people to the most prestigious opera house in London.
On this morning, they had learned from the information in the newspaper that the person Professor Moriarty instructed Jack the Ripper to kill was precisely the important woman in Holmes' life, Irene Adler.
After Hui Yuan Ai found everyone last night, she barely mentioned a word about her conversation with Yuan Huaiyu, and only conveyed Conan's unfinished reminder.
At this time, a group of people were already standing outside the gate of the Opera House, looking at Big Ben solemnly.
"Ten past ten..."
"That is to say, everyone on other stages has been eliminated..."
That's right, the only people who are still in the game are the four naughty boys, the Junior Detective Team and Xiaolan, the ten people who have entered the fifth stage.
What makes them feel strange is that after entering this stage for so long, they don't seem to have encountered any real threats.
Even when faced with the second most dangerous man in London, Colonel Monland, and the most dangerous man in London behind him, Professor Moriarty, none of the ten people suffered any battle casualties.
And only Haiyuan Ai knew that the fact that they were able to advance the game to the current level without anyone being eliminated probably had something to do with Yuan Huaiyu.
But in fact, Yuanhuaiyu did not provide any substantial help. In the original plot, the fundamental reason why four people were trapped in the poker club was because Noah's Ark Hiroki, who pretended to be Morohoshi to enter the game, brought a group of people with him.
Wave rhythm, jumping out to annoy Colonel Menglang and using Holmes's gun...
If these four naughty children were obedient, nothing unexpected would happen.
"In other words, now there are ten of us, carrying everyone's lives!" Zhu Xing's face was heavy.
Although the grandson of the deputy director of the Metropolitan Police is arrogant and domineering, he can still see the situation clearly before making such a big choice.
This is also the reason why he has been leading the four-man group of naughty children to cooperate with Conan's command.
However, if Yuan Huaiyu heard what he said, he would inevitably complain again: "It's obviously Conan, Xiao Ai and Xiao Lan are carrying seven other people..."
A group of people walked into the opera house. The current opera house was busy with people coming and going because there was a major performance tonight.
Conan took the lead, holding a bouquet of flowers and curiously looking at the structure of the opera house of this era.
"Wait! No one except relevant personnel is allowed to enter here!"
A gentleman with a mustache stopped them.
"We are friends of Irene Adler and wanted to encourage her before her performance..."
Xiaolan threw out the rhetoric she had prepared.
The gentleman with a mustache looked at the flowers in Conan's hand, then looked at the group of children, and then laughed.
"Are you her friends?"
"Yes!" Conan raised the flower, "Which room is she in?"
"It's in the room with the poster at the end." The gentleman with a mustache made way for him and pointed to the inside of the corridor thoughtfully.
"Thanks!"
The group of people arrived outside the room with the poster and were about to knock on the door and enter.
"I wonder what kind of person this lady is?"
Conan listened to Xiaolan's curious questions, his eyes narrowed into half-moon-shaped dead fish eyes.
Based on his understanding of his father, I'm afraid...
Xiaolan knocked on the door, and a sweet "Please come in" came from the room.
"Excuse me!"
In a room that was gorgeously decorated yet still had a girlish feel, a beautiful woman stood up and looked toward the door.
Just as Conan expected, the face of Irene Adler is almost the same as that of his mother, Kudo Yukiko.
"This is the bouquet sent to you by Holmes!" Conan handed over the flowers in his hand.
"Thank you!" Irene Adler took the bouquet, but did not see Holmes, and couldn't help asking, "Where are the others?"
"He was looking forward to coming to tonight's show, but because he had to investigate a case..."
Xiaolan suddenly stopped mid-sentence.
She seemed to have seen a similar scene somewhere before...
Wait, isn't that what that guy Shinichi is like? He came to see her in the middle of the karate competition, and because he was going to investigate a case, he abandoned her and ran away...
Xiaolan's blood pressure went up.
"Really...what a pity." A look of regret appeared on Irene Adler's face.
Conan hurriedly told the purpose of the group's visit to "Kudo Yukiko" opposite: "Please stop tonight's performance! Sherlock Holmes's old enemy Professor Moriarty will send a killer to kill you tonight!"
"Why do you want to kill me..." Irene looked puzzled.
"Because he wants to see Holmes's sad expression when he lost you..." Xiao Lan said.
"Is that so... Then I want to see it too." Irene shook her head gently.
"Is it really okay?" Xiaolan heard that Irene had not canceled tonight's performance plan, so she quickly tried to dissuade her, "I will become Jack the Ripper's fifth victim..."
"Won't everyone protect me?" Irene smiled slightly, "instead of Holmes."
Conan was not surprised at all by this result - after all, Kudo Yukiko is also such a person...
…
The performance went on as scheduled, and Irene Adler's beautiful singing voice filled every corner of the opera house.
"Jack the Ripper! Where is that guy hiding?"
The group of people hid behind the curtain of the stage, ready to deal with any emergencies at any time, and protected the female singer who was bathed in glory in the center of the stage from Jack the Ripper.
No one noticed that in the prop room backstage, a bomb's timer was about to reach its end.
"boom!"
The next second, a violent explosion shocked all the listeners who were intoxicated by the wonderful music.
"What's going on?"
"What happened?"
On a high platform, a figure overlooking the stage sighed with satisfaction:
"Sure enough, the theatrical version cannot be without eight eggs, just like the West cannot be without Jerusalem...it's right."
On the stage, the high-hanging headlight was teetering on the verge of falling, hitting Irene Adler who was on the stage and unable to avoid it.
With the exception of Morohoshi, the three naughty kids had quick eyesight and quick hands. With their physical strength and reflexes stronger than those of the Junior Detective Team, they rushed forward and pushed her away. However, they were hit by the falling lamp.
When the smoke dissipated, the three of them looked at the halo of light spreading around themselves, and immediately understood that they were out of the game.
When others arrived, they saw Irene Adler squatting down beside them and saying in a soft voice: "Thank you! Thank you for saving me..."
It seemed that this was the first time for the three dandy boys to be praised like this, and they all had embarrassed looks on their faces.
"The rest is up to you!"
The three of them looked at their companions, their eyes full of trust.
The next second, their bodies disintegrated into countless light particles and dissipated on the stage.
Before everyone had time to feel sentimental, they felt one after another explosions coming from beneath their feet.
Jack the Ripper planted more than one bomb!
The originally elegant and gorgeous opera house is now a scene of purgatory on earth.
The upper class cried and screamed and fled towards the gate, while the dome and walls of the Opera House cracked from time to time due to bombs and fell from the sky.
"Hurry! Hurry! Go through the back door!"
Conan commanded a group of companions to guard Irene Adler and go to the back door to escape this crisis.
At this time, the ceiling above everyone's heads suddenly cracked, and huge rocks were about to fall on the heads of the three little ones behind the team.
"careful!"
Haiyuan Ai, who was at the rear, jumped up without even thinking, pushed the three of them hard on their backs, and pushed them out of the range of the rocks.
"Haiyuan!"
Everyone stopped and saw the same halo as those of the others appearing on Hui Yuan Ai's body.
"You go first! Don't worry about me!" She shouted loudly when she saw that the ceiling in front of her was already crumbling.
"I'll leave it to you later."
After hearing her words, everyone understood that it was not advisable to stay here for a long time and should evacuate as soon as possible to prevent Huiyuan's sacrifice from being in vain.
"Let's go!" Conan gritted his teeth and waved his hand.
Watching the group of people running around the next corner and disappearing, Hui Yuan Ai sat down on the ground, looking at the halo of light emitting from his hands, and was lost in thought.
There were footsteps behind her, and she said without looking back: "Did you do this?"
She just clearly felt that when the stones were about to touch her, they seemed to suddenly break away from the constraints of the laws of physics, strangely avoiding her body and hitting the surrounding areas.
"Yes. Although you are out of the game, I still don't want you to get hurt - even in the game."
Moriarty Yuanhuaiyu walked up to her.
Hui Yuan Ai looked at him with a slight smile on his lips: "After that, you have to explain everything clearly."
"I am extremely happy." Yuan Huaiyu took off his black top hat and gave a gentleman's salute.
The next moment, her body turned into a point of light and disappeared.
…
On the other side, several people who escaped from the opera house were also performing a chase drama.
During the escape from the opera house, Ayumi was also eliminated because she rescued Conan who was about to be hit by a statue.
And just after they escaped from danger with the help of the patrol police who heard the news outside the opera house, a black shadow suddenly came out of the corner, holding a sharp blade, and was about to pierce Irene Adler's body.
heart.
At this critical moment, Mitsuhiko and Genta reacted, pushed Irene away, and blocked Jack the Ripper with their bodies. However, they were both eliminated with their swords raised and dropped.
Just when Jack the Ripper broke through this line of defense and was about to carry out the assassination to the end, Xiaolan's figure stood in front of him.
In this world, although all of Conan's scientific props cannot be used, Xiaolan's real physical skills such as karate are not restricted by the game.
She flew up with a kick and flew towards Jack the Ripper's abdomen, causing a violent sound of wind.
Jack the Ripper also knew that the woman in front of him seemed not to be trifled with, and there were police officers coming from all around, so he had no choice but to jump and gallop away from the other direction where the siege was weakest.
Outside the venue, the only ten remaining players were suddenly eliminated one after another, causing everyone in the venue to panic, and the atmosphere in the control room was even more depressing to the extreme.
"Doctor, what's going on now!"
Kudo Yusaku asked.
"A group of them has already encountered Jack the Ripper and is currently chasing him. Now there are only three of them left..."
Dr. A Li pointed at the rapidly moving green dot on the map and said.
"Charlie Cross Station..." Kudo Yusaku knew every location on this map by heart, and he immediately recognized where several people were currently.
"This train is the most dangerous final climax of the scene!"
Conan, Xiaolan and Zhuxing, who followed Jack the Ripper onto the train, immediately found the crew, explained the situation and hoped to get their help.
The train conductor was also frightened by the news that Jack the Ripper had disguised himself among the passengers.
"Please put all passengers in the same carriage!"
"I, I know..."
The conductor was extremely efficient. Within a few minutes, he informed the passengers one by one of what had happened and summoned all passengers to one place.
Looking at the car full of passengers, he remembered what the little boy had just told him and said loudly to the passengers:
"Please raise your hands in front of you, we want to check whether you are carrying a weapon!"
Soon, there were more than 20 French soldiers in the carriage.
Conan's sharp eyes roamed these people's hands, and he soon discovered his target.
"You can put it down now."
Conan said: "Now let me explain the contents of Mr. Holmes's notes. Honey Charles, the second victim killed by Jack the Ripper, was married in a small town but abandoned her ten years ago.
I left for London with my husband and son.”
He took out the photo of the matching rings he carried with him and reasoned: "These two rings are relics from the scene when Honey Charles was murdered. The larger ring belongs to Ms. Honey, and the other small ring belongs to Ms. Honey."
Every finger of Ms. Honey cannot match it.”
"So this is what Mr. Holmes reasoned...these two rings may be proof of the parent-child relationship between the victim and Jack the Ripper."
At this time, even the stars around him were shocked: "You mean this little ring belongs to Jack the Ripper?"
"On that day, the church in the Whitechapel area held a parent-child bazaar, and Jack the Ripper also chose this day to kill his mother with a murderous intention of love and hate."
"It's so sad..." Xiaolan's face showed a little unbearable.
"But his cruel nature allowed him to continue to kill women with similar characteristics after taking revenge on his mother."
"And if a person grew up wearing a ring of that size, one of his fingers would be extra thin."
Conan's eyes slowly shifted to a lady who looked like an aristocratic lady in the corner. He pointed his finger at her and said categorically:
"Jack the Ripper, it's you!"
The whole place was in an uproar.
