Chapter 528: Yes, I am Lawyer Naruhodō

"Holmes and Watson are not here... What should I do next..."

Mao Lilan stood outside the door of 221B Baker Street, feeling a little confused.

If Shinichi were here, he would definitely ask Holmes for help first.

But now Shinichi is not here, and Holmes is not here either, so where should we start the investigation next?

Should he go to find Professor Moriarty mentioned in Watson's notes? But where would he be?
Tick, tick, tick, tick.

When footsteps were heard, Mao Lilan subconsciously looked towards the direction where the footsteps came from.

Then, some confusion appeared in Mao Lilan's eyes, because the two people in front of her did not look like locals at all.

One was dressed like a hobo and had a knit cap, while the other wore a cape as if he was there for show.

"How fashionable! Haha! I never thought I would come to London again."

The 'tramp' said with a smile, seemingly not noticing Ran's presence at all.

He and the cloaked girl next to him, who was obviously much shorter than him, walked slowly towards them, and he could hear the girl complaining.

"Really? How can this be called fashionable? It's totally -- totally out of date!"

"Haha, sorry, sorry. After all, I don't really pay attention to these things."

The 'tramp' put his hands into the pockets of his clothes and laughed.

For some reason, Mao Lilan felt that this person was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere.

However, she couldn't remember when she had met this gentleman in the game.

Wow——————

The door of 221B Baker Street was pushed open, and Kojima Genta's voice was unusually loud and obvious.

"Sister Xiaolan! The landlady gave us a newspaper saying that Holmes' companion has returned to London!"

...Holmes' companion has returned to London?

Mao Lilan looked back in confusion. She remembered that there were not many people who could be considered as Holmes' companions.

There doesn't seem to be anyone who would leave London. Who is Holmes' companion that Yuantai mentioned?
She turned around, walked towards Genta Kojima, took the newspaper, and then was shocked.

"...Lawyer Naruhodō? He once teamed up with Hosou Reito and Holmes to fight against the Chief Judge...?"

"But, there don't seem to be any Japanese in Sherlock Holmes's detective stories...?"

Ran Mouri suddenly realized that just like the appearance of "Ms. Watson" before, "Lawyer Naruhodō" was also an exception.

This game is neither based on real history nor on the Sherlock Holmes stories.

Instead, the two story lines were combined to create a brand new story line...

"Sister Xiaolan, should we go to the dock to find lawyer Naruhodō now?"

Yuan Tai said loudly, Ayumi and Mitsuhiko also ran out of the room, and they all looked at Mao Li Ran.

As the only adult in the team, Mao Lilan hesitated a little, but finally nodded.

If I don't go find this lawyer Naruhodō now, I won't get any useful information.

However, Mitsuhiko stuck his head out at this time and his eyes fell on two passers-by. "Hey, Xiaolan, that uncle... seems to be lawyer Naruhodō...?"

...Why would a lawyer dress like a homeless person...?
Mao Lilan turned her head and looked at the "homeless man", but saw a flash of gold in the other's pocket.

Although it is not very clear, the thing in the pocket of the 'homeless man' seems to be a lawyer's medal!
The lawyer medals of different countries seem to be different, but she remembers the appearance of Japan's lawyer medal very clearly!

That’s right, the thing in the ‘homeless man’s’ pocket is the Japanese lawyer’s medal. Could he really be lawyer Naruhodō? !
"…Looks like you finally noticed it."

The 'tramp' stopped and turned to look at Mao Lilan. His gaze lingered on her face for a moment, then moved up to her hairstyle, and he breathed a sigh of relief for some unknown reason.

The cloaked girl next to her said with a smile.

"Yes, that's right. It's [Lawyer Naruhodō]. We came here specifically to help. Are you touched?"

------

"…What kind of lawyer is this, Naruhodō?"

Xiang Yuanguang's face darkened as he remembered the glowing magatama in Conan's pocket.

Could it be that from the beginning of the game, Magatama judged that Conan was in an unsolvable dilemma, so he started recruiting people at that time? !

"Hmm, there's something wrong with the setting of Noah's Ark. How could Japanese lawyers in the late 19th century use lawyer medals?"

Furutani Rei shook his head. He had worked as a temporary prosecutor for a while and had some understanding of lawyers.

At the end of the 19th century, lawyers should have used lawyers' armbands as a symbol of their identity, rather than lawyers' medals.

Therefore, it is too far ahead of its time that Noah's Ark allows lawyers in the late 19th century to use lawyer medals.

If Noah's Ark knew what Rei Furuya was thinking, it would probably bombard Rei Furuya in the face with an extremely strong stream of data.

Because He is currently playing a game of chase with His friends and the real lawyer Naruhodō.

Although as a game administrator, he can theoretically check any place in the game.

But all game administrators have a common idea - as a game administrator, the loneliest thing is to watch others play games while you cannot play them yourself.

Therefore, Noah's Ark is indeed conducting a strategy guide for the cocoon game in the identity of Hideki Moroboshi, but other players are playing the positive and negative sides, while he is playing the negative side.

Xiang Yuanguang tapped his forehead lightly with his fingers. The more he looked at the situation, the more he sweated.

"...I remember that there were five internal beta test game submersion capsules."

The blue hedgehog said so, and the Rei Furuya next to him glanced at him and then said.

"Except for the two computers owned by Nanami Chiaki and Baosheng Reito, which have been debugged and connected to the current cocoon game, the other three are unusable. Mr. Xiang Yuan, even if you want to help now, it's completely too late."

“…I was just saying.”

Xiang Yuanguang shifted his gaze to another screen and then raised his eyebrows.

I don’t know when an extra image appeared on one of the many screens.

The gamer on that screen is the disappeared Nanatsuki Koshimizu!
Moreover, not far from Koshimizu Nanatsuki, there was a silly-looking guy humming a song while doing something unknown. Although it was not clear, based on his appearance...

"…Sherlock Holmes, he's still alive? He's just trapped?"

"So, where is Alice Watson? Where is the reserve prosecutor Asougi Ichima and prosecutor Baroque Vanzix? Could it be that the hidden requirement for passing Noah's Ark is to find all the plot characters...?"
