Chapter 526 The Sound of the Reichenbach Falls

When Mao Lilan woke up, it was already ten minutes later. She looked up at the members of the Junior Detective League who were gathered together in a group in a daze, then stood up and recalled what had just happened.

She just touched the lock of the treasure chest, and then the lid suddenly popped up. The lock hit her jaw and caused her to faint temporarily. Then a red iron fist popped out and knocked her away... ?
Why would someone place a treasure chest trap like this in their own home? Is it to protect against the brave protagonists in those old RPGs who would go into NPCs’ homes and rummage around, then get ecstatic when they see a treasure chest?
Sighing, Mao Lilan walked towards the members of the Junior Detective League and only then heard what they were talking about.

"Hey, what is the [Reichenbach Falls]? And what is the [Professor]?"

"If you're talking about professor, it's Professor Moriarty, right? The very famous one!"

"Professor Moriarty! ... I don't know him. Who is he?"

The three little ones gathered together and commented on the manuscripts taken out of the treasure chest.

However, the nouns mentioned in their discussion made Mao Lilan feel a little terrified.

Because in the Sherlock Holmes collection, Holmes and Professor Moriarty jumped into the Reichenbach Falls together and died together. Later, Holmes was brought back to life because of the plot needs.

Why does the manuscript Watson left in the treasure chest in this game mention the "Reichenbach Falls"? Has the famous Sherlock Holmes disappeared under the Reichenbach Falls with Professor Moriarty?

Taking two quick steps, Mao Lilan walked around the members of the Junior Detective League and picked up the manuscripts to look at them.

[Dr. Hosho Reito... The Baskerville incident whose true identity is unknown... Disappeared...]

[…Officer Lestrade…Investigation progress…Professor…]

[…Following the sound of the Reichenbach Falls, the final truth will be revealed at the end of this century…]

The text above was in English at first, but it was automatically translated into Japanese in the blink of an eye.

Mao Lilan's heart was filled with doubts, because most of the contents of these manuscripts had been artificially crossed out, and the only texts that could be seen were those parts with unclear meanings and were of no use.

"It would be great if Shinichi was here. If it were him, he would definitely know what these words meant..."

The female high school student murmured, completely unaware that Kudo Shinichi himself was sitting in the ward at this moment. Her little face was full of surprise as she looked at the blond police officer who had taken the initiative to check on Baosheng Lidou's breath.

"Did you just say you were Sheriff Lestrade?!"

The blonde girl who called herself Sheriff Lestrade seemed very pleased and nodded quickly.

"Yes, I am Sheriff Lestrade! Have you heard of my name?"

...Isn’t Sheriff Lestrade a man?

Conan felt a little headache and rubbed his forehead.

If the girl in front of me is Sheriff Lestrade, then why is the sheriff leading the team her superior?
The positions of both parties should be equal, and it makes no sense for such a situation to occur!
Next to her, Ai Huibara held her chin and looked out the window at the gloomy city of London.

Suddenly, the bell rang at this moment, and not just one or two times, but more than ten times of ringing appeared at the same time!
Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!
This scene of noise pollution immediately made Haibara Ai, who turned her head to look at the clock, subconsciously cover her ears, but Conan next to her seemed to be unaware of it. He and Inspector Lestrade looked at Haibara Ai strangely.

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly cover your ears?"

"...Didn't you hear it? The bells... just rang continuously."

Huihara Ai was silent for a moment, then she spoke calmly.

"The bells are ringing continuously? No, I didn't hear anything!"

The girl who called herself Sheriff Lestrade curiously stuck her head out and looked at the Big Ben that Huibara Ai had been looking at before.

She stared at Big Ben for a while, then looked at it for a while longer, and finally said something strange.

"What time is it now...?" You who are looking at the watch asked me, who didn't look at the watch, what time it was.

Conan frowned and looked at the dial of Big Ben. The obviously motionless second hand instantly attracted his attention. Unless Noah's Ark had a hole in its brain, it would be impossible for it not to have computing power for a landmark building like Big Ben.

In other words, the second hand and minute hand of Big Ben do not move, only the hour hand moves to the nine o'clock position. This is probably a hint given by Noah's Ark. The only problem is that it is not clear what Big Ben is hinting at.

Speaking of which, after he followed the police to the ward, the sheriff didn't even ask them to take a statement, but just left them in the ward with Sheriff Lestrade. This behavior was also abnormal.

Perhaps, the purpose of Noah's Ark making NPCs do these unreasonable things is to hint at something...

The Death Elementary School Student turned his head, his gaze lingering on Sheriff Lestrade's face. Combining the intelligence he had collected before, he did not hesitate to look for an opportunity to break the current deadlock from this girl.

"Ms. Lestrade, you're not actually a chief inspector of Scotland Yard, are you? You're just... a police officer, right?"

Conan's words surprised the girl who called herself Sheriff Lestrade, but the real surprise was yet to come.

"The reason why you took the initiative to check on this apparently dead gentleman, and risked being punished by the leading sheriff... is because you know him, right?"

The Death Schoolboy pushed up his glasses, his eyes locked on Sheriff Lestrade's face.

When the word "know" was mentioned, Conan noticed that the other party's eyes seemed to be distracted for a moment.

"Your subconscious reaction has already exposed the fact that you know him——————"

Conan said so, and Haibara Ai, who was originally not concerned about the situation here, also turned around and said tentatively.

"You know Mr. Baosheng, and you have a good relationship with him, otherwise the sheriff would not have left you alone to accompany Mr. Baosheng, right?"

Sheriff Lestrade:!
The other party's reaction made Conan more certain of his thoughts, and the message from Hosho Reito flashed through his mind.

【continue……】

What is continued? What is continued? If you must say [something] is continued.

There is only one thing that is undoubtedly related to Hosho Reito: [Continuation] -

That's the beta storyline.

"...Mr. Baosheng once helped Sherlock Holmes solve a major case."

Conan pushed up his plain glasses and a white light flashed.

"But Mr. Holmes did not appear at the crime scene, and he has not come to visit Mr. Baosheng until now. Is there some reason why Mr. Holmes cannot come to visit Mr. Baosheng?"

"Ms. Lestrade...are you here to visit Mr. Hosho on behalf of Mr. Holmes? Or...are you just hoping to get [information] about Mr. Hosho from him?"

The girl who called herself Sheriff Lestrade remained silent. She looked at Conan strangely.

How could a child who looked five or six years younger than Watson be able to make such an inference...?
The girl slapped her face to sober herself up a little, then spoke loudly.

"Okay, okay, I'm not Sheriff Lestrade, I'm just Officer Lestrade, is that okay?"

Officer Lestrade muttered under his breath.

"Really? Where on earth did she find a group of children like this?"
