At Holmes' home, Xiaolan found research materials about Jack the Ripper. It mentioned that Jack the Ripper had a major relationship with the master of the British dark world, Professor James Moriarty.
Conan said that Professor Moriarty's whereabouts were strange and he never appeared in front of people easily. It was very difficult to find him. Therefore, everyone decided to look for the second-largest figure in the criminal world, Colonel Sebastian Moran.
Colonel Moran's usual haunt was the poker club.
"Is that time okay?" On the way to the poker club, Morohoshi pointed at the time on Big Ben and said.
Everyone looked at Big Ben, and the time showed 12:50. However, at the next moment, the minute hand of the clock suddenly reversed, becoming 12:49, and then moved back one space again, becoming 48 minutes. It seems that this Big Ben
What it represents is not time.
"Doesn't Big Ben represent time?" Conan looked at the clock and said to himself, "...I understand! What Big Ben represents is not time, but the number of players participating in the game."
"It seems that two people have already been eliminated." Bai Yu said.
...a poker club downtown.
"I'll go in first to check the situation. You guys wait for me here." Bai Yu said to everyone.
"I want to go too." Conan raised his hand and said.
"Okay, let's come together!" Bai Yu agreed without thinking. Conan was a little surprised. He was already prepared to be rejected by Bai Yu, and then made up a reason for him to follow.
Although it's strange, at least you don't have to think about the reason anymore.
The two walked in through the back door of the poker club.
Entering through the back door, there is a space of six square meters, with a partition of about one meter and two meters in front.
Just enough to block Conan and the crouching Bai Yu.
Facing the two people is a long table that can seat six people, four of whom are playing cards there.
The top seat was empty, with red wine and an upside-down wine glass in front of it. The chairs looked more ornate than the others.
The second seats, that is, on both sides of the long table, were an old man with gray hair in gorgeous clothes, and a man with slightly longer hair and a hooked nose. The other two people looked a little mediocre in their clothes, and their status was obviously lower than the two.
.
On the shelf behind the hook-nosed man, there actually sat a pet monkey with a furry head and a furry face. The monkey was lowering its head and grabbing a pile of red and blue fruits in front of it to eat.
"Did you see that old man? He is Colonel Moran. Although he is 59 years old, he is still very strong." Conan pointed at the old man and said.
"Let's start betting." Moran said with a smile. He was obviously very confident in his cards.
The hook-nosed man was already a little angry, and it seemed that he had lost a lot to Moran.
The two returned the gold coins to the betting area.
"So what's your card?"
"It should be enough to kill you." The hook-nosed man said angrily, and then threw his cards on the table, "Flush!"
"I'm so sorry, Shunzi!" Moran put his cards on the table.
"One in 125,000, what an incredible amount of luck." Bai Yu smiled.
"Indeed, or rather, it may be one." Conan said.
"How to say?"
When Conan was about to explain, the back door behind him was pushed open, and Morohoshi and Takizawa with pigtails who were supposed to be waiting outside pushed the door and walked in.
