Chapter 393: Xiaolan's doubts

"So, the character who could help us is gone, replaced by information about Jack the Ripper?" A few minutes later, with Conan's explanation, I understood what was going on. Maybe it's Noah's Ark, or maybe it's because of the increased difficulty, and Holmes, who was supposed to be here, is gone. However, as a clue, Conan took the children here to find clues about Jack the Ripper.

"Yes, and since the housekeeper said that she was going to make tea, she hasn't appeared until now, so she shouldn't be needed. The game is all about us searching the room on our own and leaving with useful clues. ”

"Hmm... Let me see. "I was heading towards the room. This is not only Holmes's study, but also some experimental materials and props when Watson was doing experiments.

"These things. . . I feel like I can make explosives or corrosive chemicals. "I stared at the bottles and cans on the table.

"I'll do it. Shiho said softly. Then he pulled up his cuffs and began to check the type of potion.

"Little mourning. You... Xiao Lan, who had been standing behind her, was a little surprised. It's a seven-year-old.

"Because of the influence of my Ph.D., I often read books about chemistry. Shiho held up the reagent bottles one by one, and while observing the colors, he recorded the names of the reagents on the labels. "Occasionally, I would pick up the doctor's reagent and play with it. Of course, the doctor also pointed out what reagents are mixed together and what kind of effect they will have. ”

"Eh, the doctor will teach you this, aha, ahaha. Xiaolan couldn't help laughing, the doctor is really, where can he teach a seven-year-old child this knowledge. But she didn't know that if chemistry and biology were to be taken into account, Shiho's level would be several streets above the doctor.

"Hey, Kaoru, is this necessary?" said Conan whispered into my ear in private.

"You must have sensed that something was wrong with this, too. I replied in the same whisper.

"Ah, the game is a little too difficult. Conan frowned. "I don't know what the reason is, Jack the Ripper is outrageously strong, even Xiaolan can repel it head-on, and when searching for clues, there are too many difficulties, it seems that even the dogs on the street are very unfriendly. This is not good news for children. ”

"So, it's very necessary for us to do more weapons. I replied, and then went back to the group. "Did you find any useful clues?"

"We found the Sherlock Holmes record against Jack the Ripper. Ayumi picked up a notebook and handed it to me. The above describes the record of Jack the Ripper's murder of Hani Charst on September 8, the location of the crime, and a pair of rings of various sizes. ”

There is also the reasoning of Sherlock Holmes, who said that Jack the Ripper's extreme ferocity must have something to do with Professor Moriarty, the head of the dark forces in London. ”

"Then we'll meet this Moriarty. I asserted. "Have you found out where he is?"

"No, it's not recorded in the lead. Conan shook his head, "But we've found the location of his henchman, Colonel Meng Lang." Poker club in the city center. ”

"Well, let's go check it out. Be careful, though. Let's see if there are any supplies here. ”

"By the way, Kaoru, we've found a pistol!" Motota suddenly remembered something, and then walked to the desk and opened the drawer. "But Conan said that we had better not move this unaccustomed weapon, as it would hurt ourselves. ”

"I'll see. "I took the gun from Yuantai and looked at it, it was an ordinary revolver with five rounds inside, and the words engraved on the lower end of the butt were the initials of Sherlock Holmes's name.

"Kaoru. Conan tapped me on the shoulder and turned to look at him, only to see that he was shaking his head at me, as if to say don't go for a gun.

Maybe I was afraid that the impact on the children would not be good, and after thinking about it, I turned to Yuan Taidao. "Although this is a good thing for self-defense, it's just that the name of Sherlock Holmes is written under this gun. If we accidentally expose this. Then we may be hunted down by Professor Moriarty, which is not a good thing for us. So Yuantai, let's put this right here. "Let's make up a panic to get this thing done, and besides, I have a gun myself, and this one is not bad.

"This... All right. Yuan Tai didn't understand the deeper meaning of what I said, and just obediently pushed the gun back into the drawer.

"Sometimes, I really don't think you're like a child. Xiaolan whispered behind her.

"Huh?"

"I just talked about Conan, he knows, he really knows a lot. Especially about Sherlock Holmes. ”

"That... That's what Shinichi told me. Aha, ahahaha. Conan smiled awkwardly.

"And Xiao Ai too, for the preparation of reagents, even I, a high school student, can't do it. ”

"The doctor is always instilled in various ways, and it will be enough to look at it," Shiho's hand in the reagent paused slightly, and then explained.

"And you, Kaoru-chan. Lan bent down and smiled at me. "An understanding of medical care, a sense of martial arts, and a style of acting independently. Who taught you that?"

"This... These were taught by the bodyguards my parents hired. You also know Sister Xiaolan, my family is in the diamond business, so our safety is often threatened, so my parents told me to learn these martial arts and medical treatment or something since I was a child. Aha, ahahaha. "It's a bit too big, and as soon as you enter the game, it's a little unbearable, and the characteristics that shouldn't appear in children are unconsciously exposed. No, I have to converge and converge.

"Is that so?" Xiaolan looked at me with a smirk. "Now that we've decided on our destination, let's get ready to go. Thanks to Kaoru, my leg injury has healed a lot, and my movement is no longer a problem. Xiaolan moved her right leg and after making sure that she could walk normally, she picked up the crutches. "I'll go prepare the carriage first, is there anyone to help~"

"Hi~~" x3

The three children of the detective group followed Xiaolan's pace with smiles on their faces.

"I'll go, it's dangerous. I wiped the sweat from my forehead.

"Why don't you hug it?" Conan looked at me smugly.

"Hmmm... ”

"I'm fine on my side. Shiho took a few test tubes sealed with plugs, and handed over a holster for the decorative tubes, the kind that could be hung on his body. "The pale yellow is the shimmering effect, and the transparent is the smoke. This plastic bottle has ammonia in it, which should also come in handy. The large reagent bottle was an acidic liquid, two bottles in total. ”

"Si Guoyi. He is truly a doctor of chemistry. Conan muttered quietly, marveling at how Shiho was able to create and recognize these tactically significant reagents in such a short amount of time.

"Don't boast, let's go. Shiho waved his hand.

"Hey, glasses, blonde kid. "We were just about to take a step when we heard the stars behind us speak. "We won't touch the reagents, is there anything else to defend ourselves against?"

"I have two daggers here. "After thinking about it, I took out two short blades from the backpack behind me. "Be careful, though, and once you take this guy out of the public eye, be prepared to go to the police blacklist. ”

"Don't worry, I'm in control. The stars took the dagger.

"Let's go, we'll have to go to the poker center before it gets dark. "With that, I pulled Shiho to take the lead and walked out. And Conan also glanced at the dagger in Zhuxing's hand, frowned slightly, and followed our footsteps.

"Cut, two daggers just want to send us?" Zhuxing was a little disdainful, and then threw the dagger to the two children behind him, and walked to the desk just now, and took out the Sherlock Holmes revolver.

"Hey, Stars, will you use this gun?"

"So-so. The stars chuckled. "After all, your life depends on yourself to protect it. You don't want to play so early, do you?"

———————————— Detective Conan Theatrical Version Six & The Undead of Baker Street———————————

The group arrived at the center of the poker club in the center of the city in a horse-drawn carriage, and thought of entering through the main entrance, but because there were so many people here, it was decided that Conan and I would go to explore the way first.

"That mustachioed uncle is Colonel Meng Lang. Entering the club through the back door, Conan quickly locked on Colonel Mon Lang. At this time, he was playing cards with an uncle, and the table was already full of gold coins, and it seemed that their amount was not small.

"This room is basically full of his people. "I scanned the tables around me and saw that the gang was basically all thugs, and they all had short sticks, short knives and other short knives, and some wine bottles. "It's best not to act rashly, these people don't have anything to do once they fight. ”

"Ah, our people are all outside now, and if we fight, we will definitely have attrition. Conan agreed.

"Hey, glasses, blonde. Conan was talking to me. Behind us, the stars and Takisawa have appeared behind us. "How's it going?"

"Why did you get in?" asked Conan. "It's dangerous here. ”

"Hmph, how can I let you have the credit alone?" said the stars confidently.

"I didn't think about it or anything, the problem is that the people here are extremely dangerous, and if something happens, I can't protect you. "I feel helpless about the actions of my two children, and it is mainly based on asking for credit. But it's a game after all, so it doesn't matter.

"You are familiar with this kind of scene, can you think of how to deal with Colonel Meng Lang?" Conan asked me.

"There are still a lot of methods, and it's good to play cards with him. I said.

"But he's out of a thousand. Conan worried.

"Out of a thousand?" the stars asked.

"Ah, the monkey sitting on the back table is his cheating. Conan explained. "The monkey's left and right paws represent red hearts and spades, square plum blossoms, and there are red and black fruits on the plate, and the monkey eats the claws of the fruit, the color of the fruit, and the quantity, which is enough to determine the content of the card. ”

"Hmph, that's despicable. The stars said disdainfully.

"There's nothing mean about the casino. I shook my head in disdain. "Originally, it was a pastime to cut money, and winning and losing were just based on means and ability. ”

"Hmph, I really can't agree with you. The stars were also very displeased. Perhaps in his life creed, although he is a rich kid, he is told that this is not right for these so-called improper ways of making money, his upbringing, and thoughts.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a game. I shrugged, refusing to discuss this with the stars, and turned to Conan, who was still observing the situation. "I think it's better not to go head-to-head with them, we don't have a referral, we have to use some chips to get Colonel Meng Lang to sit at the table with us. ”

"But do we have the capital?" asked Conan, frowning. "We don't have gold or anything, the only thing we have now is clues and supplies for Jack the Ripper. ”

"As long as there is interest. I thought about it. "You have seen Sherlock Holmes so many times, are there any events related to this period? Salt, wine, oil, you can do it. ”

"I think about it... "Conan understood what I meant, and since he didn't have the funds on hand, he would sell the information. If Conan in the real world is an idiot when it comes to intelligence, then in this world of Sherlock Holmes, Conan can be said to be the strongest intelligence agent in the entire game. "I remember three days later ... ”

"He's out of the woods!" Before Conan could finish speaking, Zhuxing and Takizawa on the side had already walked out of the corridor at the back door, exposed to Colonel Meng Lang's field of vision.

Seeing this, I couldn't help but sigh. "This idiot ... ”
