Chapter 255 You are the Sherlock Holmes of my dreams
"Wow! That's amazing! It's exactly the same as what I see on TV!"
"If Shinichi knew, he would be very envious!"
The moment everyone entered Holmes' apartment, they all gasped in amazement.
Even the usually aloof Ai Haibara couldn't help but glance at her a few more times.
Just as Ran was sighing, she turned her head and suddenly found that Conan was sitting on a chair in the room with his feet together and his hands clasped on his feet.
Ran seemed to see Shinichi Kudo in his serious expression.
Really... he looks just like Shinichi...
Yuan Tai and the others looked over curiously. At this moment, Mrs. Hudson exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, he looks just like Sherlock Holmes! He always strikes that pose when he's thinking."
This dispelled Xiaolan's doubts.
Oh, so you're imitating Sherlock Holmes.
After entering the house, he began to carefully observe the layout of the room.
Well, I have to say, Yusaku Kudo and the others must have put in a lot of effort when making this game.
You can tell this from the fact that the room layout is the same as what you see in the movie.
While Holmes was away and Mrs. Hudson was making milk, everyone searched the room, hoping to find some useful clues.
"Boss, will this search really yield any useful clues?"
As Akemi searched, she asked Asakawa Yu.
"I don't know." Asakawa Yu put the book back on the shelf and said, then took another book off the shelf. "But if we don't look for it, we can't think of any useful solutions."
Since Asakawa Yu had already said that, Akemi didn't say anything more and began searching seriously.
Just as Asakawa Yu and the others were looking for clues, Moroboshi Hideki, looking speechless, threw the book he was holding back onto the bookshelf. With a thud, the ball that was originally on the bookshelf became unstable due to the force of the throw and slid down.
"Hmm? What a dirty ball."
After saying that, he threw the ball behind him without even looking.
As the ball flew out, it was caught by his friends.
"This is... Hey! Jiang Shou, this is a football from over a hundred years ago!"
"Huh? Really?! Let me see!"
This scene intensified Conan's already growing suspicions.
[This is important; it will be on the test later.]
[Focus on the key details, okay?]
【No, what do you guys know?】
Asakawa Yu simply watched this scene coldly, without interfering further.
Soon, the group found a document in the room that looked somewhat helpful; it contained information about research on Jack the Ripper.
Asakawa Yu took the documents and began to flip through them.
"The most recent incident occurred on... September 8th."
Asakawa Yu flipped through the book, Conan also moved closer. "The second victim was Honey Charlest, a 41-year-old woman living alone."
"Yes, I think all of this stems from the existence of this person, which is what we need to be particularly wary of."
Looking in the direction Asakawa Hane was pointing, Conan saw a name that shocked him.
"Professor Moriarty?!"
Asakawa Yu nodded. "Yes, you're a big fan of Sherlock Holmes, so you should understand what that name means."
"Professor Moriarty?!" Xiaolan exclaimed in surprise.
"He's even in this game?"
“I remember, he was Holmes’s nemesis, right?” Akemi said, tapping her chin thoughtfully.
“Well, if Sherlock Holmes is the light of his time, then Professor Moriarty is the malignant combination of this era. It’s not surprising that the two are true lifelong enemies,” Asakawa Yu explained.
After Asakawa Yu explained it this way, the children who didn't know much about it before roughly understood the seriousness of the matter.
But honestly, isn't this game a bit too difficult?
Noah's Ark lured Holmes away, setting up Conan and his friends to confront Jack the Ripper, known as the invincible serial killer, and Moriarty, the mastermind behind the crimes.
If he hadn't known that Noah's Ark just wanted to play a game with the children, he might have thought that Noah's Ark really wanted to leave Conan and the others there.
Akemi also looked worried. She knew what kind of person this man called Moriarty really was.
Now they are essentially facing Jack the Ripper and Moriarty together. Even though she has complete confidence in her boyfriend, she still can't help but worry.
Seeing that Akemi's expression was off, Asakawa Yu walked over and patted her head. "It's okay. In any case, it's just a game. It's unlikely that the difficulty will be set too high."
Following the usual pattern of games, all we need to do now is find Moriarty, and that should give us the clues to Jack the Ripper's whereabouts.
Akemi nodded. "I guess I'm being too sentimental, but I still have you."
Mingmei's tears turned into laughter. "If Holmes weren't here, you would be the Holmes in my heart."
Asakawa Yu smiled and shrugged. "I'm just an ordinary coffee shop owner, not a detective at all."
[Wow, so he's 'just an ordinary coffee shop owner'? Are all coffee sellers this shameless these days?]
Guess whether I believe it or not.
[Can someone whose family owns a coffee shop tell me if this is true?]
"Although I have serious doubts about someone's character, I think a certain great detective is more qualified to speak on this matter than we are."
Ai Haibara smiled and looked at Conan teasingly, causing Conan to twitch his chin involuntarily.
"Heh." Having no other choice, Conan could only respond with a cold laugh.
"But, although we're supposed to find Moriarty, he's said to be a man whose whereabouts are unpredictable. How are we going to find him?" Xiaolan asked with some worry.
“Since Professor Moriarty is hard to find, why don’t we just look for someone close to him?” Asakawa Yu suggested.
“That’s right.” A glint flashed in Conan’s eyes.
"Go find Colonel Baschamontran!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lan's face lit up with joy. "So that's how it is! Colonel Meng Lang, the professor's trusted lieutenant!"
At that moment, Ai Haibara suddenly spoke up, holding a book in her hand, "It says that the Colonel often hangs out at the poker club in the city center."
