Chapter 397 - Trickery
"Going to clean the stage of the opera house tonight, M's message to J. "In the evening, when we came to the bottom of the bell tower and got the newspaper for the day, I couldn't help but feel a little strange when I looked at the blatant orders of Moriarty on one of the pages of the newspaper.
How did this information get published in the newspaper, and there was such a talk-style section, maybe it was the game setting. In reality, you can't come so blatantly.
"What do you mean by cleaning the stage of the opera house?" Ayumi was puzzled.
"Maybe someone is performing at the opera house tonight?" Xiaolan responded, and then she flipped through the newspaper again to find news about the opera house. "Here is written, triumphal performance, the idol of Warsaw's royal opera, Erin Adler?!"
"I remember Erin Adler as ... Shiho looked down and recalled.
"Rumored to be the only woman who has beaten Sherlock Holmes, and one whom Holmes admires. Xiaolan took over.
"Killing a woman you admire as a means of revenge against Sherlock Holmes?" Moriarty's approach disgusted me. Although it does work to some extent, it's a bad taste. Belch... I can't help but think of the task of the organization at that time to get me to the gold medal. I couldn't help but feel a fire rising from the bottom of my heart.
"Kaoru?" Shiho saw that I wasn't in the right state, and hurriedly reached out and pulled my sleeve. "Are you alright?"
βγγ It's okay. Shiho's interruption calmed me down instantly. True, Moriarty gave me the task of taking out Jack the Ripper and keeping Erin Adler as a plus, and in a way, his bad taste does exist, but more than that, it doesn't matter. Because whether it succeeds or not, Erin Adler is killed by Jack the Ripper, then it's the project I lose points, and Moriarty can also take the opportunity to disgust Holmes. And the opposite, it is the demise of Jack the Ripper. From Moriarty's point of view, it doesn't matter who kills, what matters is my confrontation with Jack the Ripper. Whoever wins or loses, Jack the Ripper or me, is a favorable situation for Moriarty.
"Whew... Let's wait for Conan. With a slight breath, I said to the crowd. At the same time, we need to have a careful plan.
"In that case, why don't we just stop Erin Adler from performing on stage, and then hide and wait for Jack the Ripper to take the bait after the trap is set?" suggested Zhuxing.
"It's a good idea. But there are some details that we still have to consider, such as... Shiho took over after looking at me, for she saw that my eyes were a little sluggish at this time, and that I was leaning against the wall of the bell tower. This state Shiho has seen many times, and it is the state when I enter deep thinking. I can hear and follow what others are saying, but that doesn't affect my thinking. And what Shiho is doing now is to try not to let others disturb me as much as possible in a short period of time.
At the same time, my mind was racing to think about it, from my point of view, from the point of view of Jack the Ripper, from the point of view of Noah's Ark. How exactly will this assassination and counter-assassination be carried out?
In such a public setting, it is very difficult to take the life of a person on stage, and the most direct way is to kill someone before they are on stage. But Moriarty's order is to clean the stage, so does Jack the Ripper really want to carry out the order 100% and only kill Erin Adler on the stage?
Jack the Ripper has always liked to use a dagger, a short sword, and a knife to stab the victim in the heart, and he is an out-and-out murderer. But on such a public stage, it is obviously a very stupid thing to jump directly on the stage and stab the target in the chest with a short blade. So will Jack the Ripper change his tactics as a result?
"No, it's not. I shook my head. This is still the best consideration, if Noah's Ark interferes, it will cause the difficulty of the game to increase dramatically. When we faced Meng Lang, we had already begun to use firearms in battle, and it was not ruled out that Jack the Ripper would also use high-powered weapons such as guns and bombs. If that's the case, I'd have a hard time keeping Erin Adler, after all, in a banquet hall of hundreds of people. Once the lights are dimmed, it's easy to find the person who put the black gun, but it's even harder to protect the person who eats the black gun than to climb to the sky.
"Wait... "By chance, my brain crashed. Why do I want to protect Erin Adler? Isn't my mission to capture or kill Jack the Ripper? Protecting Erin Adler is just a plus in the follow-up mission released by Moriarty, and my ultimate goal is not to kill Jack the Ripper directly? What am I doing with this? I almost fell into a mistake by accident.
"I'm back!"
Just as we were thinking, Conan's voice suddenly came. "I've found clues about Jack the Ripper's motive for killing. β
"Well, as it happens, we've also solved the question about the whereabouts and goals of Jack the Ripper next. I nodded to Conan. Then he turned to Shiho and told Conan what we had just deduced, and that I needed to re-plan it.
Since I'm going to get rid of Jack the Ripper, the difficulty is a lot lower, and I just need to work hard towards this one, and as for saving people, with Conan here, I'm not too worried. In other words, our next purpose is to have two lines, one is that I hide in the shadows and take the opportunity to get rid of Jack the Ripper, and the other is that Conan and them are in the open to attract the attention of Jack the Ripper, and at the same time do a good job of protection, so as not to let Erin Adler be killed, so as not to cause other incidents in the mission.

"Zero. "In the evening, our group came to the door of the opera house, and in front of the gate of the opera house, the children looked up at the bell tower not far away, only to find that the hands had become 0.6 minutes.
"In other words, are all the people in the other scenes out? We're the only ones left. Ayumi said with some concern.
"Don't worry, even if it's just a few of us, we'll be able to win. Xiaolan said to Ayumi.
"That's right, but it's just the five of us here. Ayumi looked back in the direction of the opera house.
"After all, there is a division of labor. "Conan said for me. "We've agreed that the five of us will protect Erin Adler, while Kaoru will go to the police and report the situation here, so that the police can arrest Jack the Ripper the moment he appears. Isn't it?"
After Conan returned to the group, we got back into the carriage and headed towards the Opera House, where we discussed our plan for how to capture Jack the Ripper. In the end, an agreement was reached to divide the troops into two ways, one was that Conan took the children and Xiaolan to find Erin Adler head-on, and asked them to protect him in the open. On the other hand, it was up to me to go to the police, of course, it was just a cover, and Conan knew that my purpose was to spy on Jack the Ripper in the shadows. So he coincidentally made up a lie with me, so that I could get out of everyone's sight.
"It's just... We always trouble Kaoru, is this really good?" Xiaolan was a little reluctant, obviously she was the oldest among the children, but because of the injury in the early battle with Jack the Ripper, and the second injury in the confrontation with Colonel Meng Lang, Xiaolan's force value did not play its due role at all.
"Haha, don't worry about Sister Xiaolan. Conan smiled. "Kaoru is having fun, after all, this kind of game may only be played once in a lifetime, Kaoru must have to play it happily. At this time, Conan also thought to himself, Kaoru that guy would like to get rid of everyone and do it alone. Whether it's reality or a game. That guy does it every time.
"He's such a laid-back guy. Zhuxing half-narrowed his eyes and smiled and complained. "We have fifty lives on our backs, and he's not nervous at all. β
"Don't say that, if you want to talk about the credit of this game, Kaoru is not small!" Ayumi also knew that Zhuxing was joking, so she didn't get angry, but just whispered a word for me.
"Maybe that's a deal. Shiho whispered. "That idiot, I don't know what the situation is yet. β
"Let's go, let's go see Erin Adler. Conan smiled awkwardly, and then walked into the opera house with the children with the bouquet he had already bought, to visit the only woman Holmes admired, Erin Adler.
On the other hand, I, who had already flowed into the opera house, had trampled through the halls of the theater, found all the favorable conditions for shooting at the stage, and found counterattack points to be able to monitor all places. All that's left is for the opera to start and Jack the Ripper to appear.
At nine o'clock in the evening, the opera officially began, and I sat in the VIP room on the second floor, looking down at the crowd. Sitting below are some celebrities and gentlemen, or noble women, it is not difficult to find a tall, muscular person, with a murderous face, but what surprises me is that in such a crowd, there are no similar characters on the few vantage points I have stepped on before. But at the other end of the VIP room on the second floor, I saw the same to enjoy the opera... No, I was supposed to be Professor Moriarty, who came to admire me and Jack the Ripper. On the other side, he also discovered my presence. However, judging by the grim smile on his face and the excitement he was when he saw me, he didn't find out where Jack the Ripper was, so he was expecting my performance.
"Good evening, everyone. "As the show began. The heroine of this opera, Erin Adler, also slowly took the stage. His appearance also made me raise my eyebrows. It's a game made by Kudo's father, and the game model of the woman that Sherlock Holmes admires is really made in the image of Sister Yukiko. However, after all, it was not the same person, so I just took a look at it and continued to stare at the people in the audience.
Time passed minute by minute, and the performance of the opera gradually entered a better state. But I didn't find any suspicious characters on the scene.,It stands to reason that the celebrities who are sitting down now are starting to close their eyes and enjoy the final part of the opera.,And there is Sister Kiko on the stage.γγγ Well, Erin Adler is already there, but I haven't found anyone out of the ordinary, which can't help but make me feel a little in danger. Perhaps, Jack the Ripper didn't intend to do anything here? or... He's already done it?!
Rumble!!!!
Before the thought fell, the entire opera house crumbled to the sound of a huge explosion.
Jack the Ripper, with a bomb!
