Chu Ming waved his hand and looked at the falling night sky: "It seems that Noah's Ark has cut off the communication. The person who sent us the message just now didn't have time to finish his words. Now we have to find the person who can help us ourselves."
"But we have no idea at the moment and don't know who can help us." Mitsuhiko was worried and didn't know what to do.
Conan seemed to have thought of something, his eyes sparkling: "I know! Just now the two patrolmen said they would notify Officer Lestrade. Since there is Lestrade, there must be Sherlock Holmes! He must be the one who can help us!"
Conan's mind was filled with the excitement of being able to meet his idol, and even his usually calm temperament was a little difficult to control.
Chu Ming disagreed: "The probability of us meeting Sherlock Holmes should not be very high. After all, we need to solve puzzles to pass the level. Wouldn't it be equivalent to cheating if we have the help of Sherlock Holmes?"
These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over the children's heads, and they all wilted.
Chu Ming turned his head and looked at Gin. It was good to go on missions with Gin. He could pretend that he had no brain and just do things like move the buttons.
Gin finally decided: "Go to Baker Street."
"it is good."
"Eh? Isn't it useless to look for Sherlock Holmes?" Yuantai looked confused. Conan just said that it was useless to look for Sherlock Holmes and Big Sister Bailey said it was useless. Why did Big Brother say yes when he said go to Baker Street?
Gin was too disdainful to explain, let alone answer the children's questions.
Chu Ming was still in the mood to answer their questions and explain his double standards: "I just said that we won't meet Sherlock Holmes, but we can still go to his house. After all, even if Sherlock Holmes is not at home, we can still find some clues from him, which is better than wandering around like headless flies."
"..."
Whitechapel is quite far from Baker Street, but with the experienced captain Gin leading the team in front, the team members behind followed obediently.
When they walked to the Big Ben, Hideki Moroboshi suddenly looked up and said, "Look, that clock is so weird!"
Looking up, the slender minute hand on the tall clock face was moving backwards. It was originally 50, then pointed to 49,48, ...
"This should be - the number of survivors." Chu Ming said it out loud. Hey, he had an impression of this.
"Then if it goes back two minutes, wouldn't it be——"
"Two people have already been eliminated!"
The children were panic-stricken, but when they saw Gin standing in front of them, with a cold yet surprisingly reliable temperament, they felt at ease.
They have a big boss leading the team, so there won't be any problems...
Chapter 461: Damn it?
As everyone followed Gin's footsteps and hurried to Baker Street, a bearded and ragged tramp suddenly appeared on the opposite side of the road. He held an accordion and sang a tuneless song:
"Be careful of Jack the Ripper. He is waiting for you on the road at night. If you don't want to die, what should you do? You have to be covered in blood."
The homeless man sang as he passed by them. Gin stared at the homeless man's back and moved his fingers slightly. Chu Ming knew that this was a sign that Gin was about to take action, so he immediately stepped in front of the homeless man.
"Uncle, please wait a moment~ I have some news I want to ask you~"
The homeless man acted as if he didn't hear anything and just ran straight towards Chu Ming, as if he couldn't see Chu Ming's existence.
Chu Ming dodged his body, turned sideways and raised his hand to chop at his neck, trying to physically hijack the NPC.
Unfortunately, before Chu Ming's hand touched the NPC, his body twisted, a blue light flashed, and he disappeared from the scene.
Conan and his companions stared at the conflict in amazement, somewhat bewildered as to why they suddenly attacked the homeless man.
The most surprising thing among them was Noah's Ark. He was particularly curious about why Chu Ming could think of stopping the homeless man he had set up to help them, but he was wearing the body of Hideki Moroboshi. At that time, he also saw the conflict between Hideki Moroboshi and Chu Ming at the venue. In order to uphold his character, he could not speak casually and could only keep it in his heart.
It was Xiaolan who first asked, "Miss Baili, why did you catch that homeless guy?"
Chu Ming saw Xiaolan, pointed to the place where the homeless man disappeared just now, and blinked: "Miss Maori usually doesn't play games, right? Our main task at the moment is to catch Jack the Ripper. Since this scene task is this, any mention of him is worth our in-depth study.
Look at the song that the tramp just sang, "I'll wait for you on the road at night. If you don't want to die, you have to be covered in blood." This explains where Jack the Ripper appears and how to deal with him in the end. So I originally planned to ask him to stay and ask him a few more questions. Unfortunately, the game doesn't allow this, but this further proves that my guess just now is correct."
Xiaolan nodded, somewhat gratefully: "Fortunately, you and Mr. Kurosawa are here, otherwise we don't know what to do."
"People's potential is always brought out. Even without me and Nijin, I think with the wisdom of Miss Maori and these children, it should not be a problem for them to think of these things. Well, since we can't catch the NPC, let's go see if there is any useful information at the Holmes house."
Baker Street was just ahead. They followed the house numbers all the way to 221-B. Chu Ming knocked on the door casually: "Hello, is anyone home? Is Mr. Holmes home?"
Soon, the landlady opened the door and was stunned to see the crowd of people at the door: "Are you here to see Sherlock Holmes? He is not at home. He left London with Watson to solve a case."
Chu Ming, who had expected this, immediately put on a smile and said, "Madam Landlady, we are members of the Baker Street Detective Team. This is our captain. The matter that Mr. Holmes entrusted us to investigate has already resulted in a conclusion. He once said that we can just put the results on the desk in his room after the investigation. There is also a commission on the desk that we need to pick up. May we go in now?"
The landlady was very enthusiastic: "So you are the group of children who helped Sherlock Holmes solve the case before. Come in quickly, I will heat up some milk for you."
After entering the apartment, the children were very excited because they entered Holmes' room, until they saw the photo of Holmes and Watson.
“What? Even though he has hair, this is clearly Professor Agasa…”
Chu Ming stood on tiptoe to take down the photo and waved it towards Gin: "Look, the second team, Holmes and Watson."
Although Gin couldn't remember the name of the person he killed and was a little face-blind to Shirley, he still had basic vision. He glanced at the photo and said, "Kudo Yusaku?"
Chu Ming was a little surprised: "How do you know this is Kudo Yusaku?"
Gin tried to take a cigarette from his pocket, but came up empty-handed. He leaned against the wall and said, "I've read the book he wrote."
???
What a weird collaboration, Gin actually likes to read detective novels written by Kudo Yusaku!
Damn it, you have time to read books written by others, but you just don’t read his, right?
Humph, +1 for holding a grudge.
Gin clearly looked like he would use his brain, but he would never do anything physical. Chu Ming turned to mobilize the children: "Since this is Sherlock Holmes' study, he must have information about Jack the Ripper. Let's split up and look for it."
There were so many books on Sherlock Holmes' bookshelf that Chu Ming divided them into several groups and asked each person to search for a column. Soon Xiaolan was the first to find "Investigation on Jack the Ripper" collected by Sherlock Holmes. She is worthy of being the King of Europe and her reputation is well-deserved.
Seeing that he had found the information, Gin condescended to move to the desk and sat down to look through the documents.
"The location of the most recent incident... Two rings, one large and one small, were left at the scene. I conclude that Jack the Ripper, who has plunged London into endless panic, has a connection with Professor Moriarty, the head of evil, judging from the unprecedented social unrest he has caused..."
Because Gin's aura was too strong when he was watching, the children who wanted to watch did not gather together. They could only squat where they were and stare at Chu Ming and the fearless Conan who were standing on Gin's left and right. So Chu Ming read out the information he saw to the children while watching.
"Professor Moriarty still exists?" Conan opened his mouth in surprise.
Kikukawa Seiichiro looked confused: "Who is that?"
Emmm, this involves Chu Ming's blind spot in knowledge. He only knows that Moriarty is Holmes's nemesis. He doesn't know anything more specific.
Chu Ming couldn't say it, and Gin wasn't interested in speaking, so this became Conan's home court: "He is Holmes's nemesis, controlling the dark forces in London. It is said that he has a great influence on the whole of Europe, the Napoleon of the criminal world."
Xiaolan also said: "Although Professor Moriarty is behind the scenes, he rarely reveals his whereabouts. How can we find him?"
Conan looked around, then ran to the bookshelf, picked up Holmes' notes and opened them for everyone to see. "We can go find the professor's confidant, Colonel Moran. Holmes said he often appears in the bridge club in the city center. But he is the second most dangerous person in London, so we must be careful when we come into contact with him."
At this time, everyone was staring at Conan who was talking. Gin's eyes were ambiguous, as if he had thought of something.
Xiaolan couldn't help but sigh: "Conan, you really know a lot~"
Oops.
"Ha, haha, actually, these are what I often hear from Shinichi-nii... uh, no." Conan was halfway through describing when he suddenly realized something was wrong, the members of the organization are still here!!!
Just as he was about to come up with another excuse, Xiaolan nodded in understanding: "Shinichi taught you again? I didn't expect that the words of that annoying Sherlock Holmes fan would come in handy this time."
Looking at Kurosawa Nijin, whose eyes suddenly became sharp, and Miss Bailey, who seemed to be smiling and preparing to ask something, Conan's clothes were almost soaked with cold sweat.
Oops! What now?!
Chapter 462 Colonel Moran
"Ms. Maori, I wanted to ask you last time, but Conan interrupted me and I forgot. Is your boyfriend the legendary high school detective Kudo Shinichi? I've heard of his reputation before, but I've never had the chance to meet him."
Chu Ming stopped Conan from interrupting first. If he didn't want to be suspected, he couldn't always find excuses to stop Xiaolan from speaking.
Conan's brain was spinning rapidly. Last time, he used his hunger to divert Xiaolan's attention. What should he do this time? How should he remind Xiaolan?
Xiaolan blushed: "What boyfriend? He is not my boyfriend! In fact, I don't know where he went. He hasn't been back for a long time. I don't know where he went to investigate the case..."
Xiaolan's answer unconsciously helped Conan smooth things over. Chu Ming did not ask any more questions. After all, you can't keep taking advantage of others. You have to give Conan some time to breathe. The points Conan gave you just now are enough? (?＞?＜?)?
Yuan Tai then opened the drawer and took out the gun inside with a look of surprise: "Wow, it's a real gun!"
Conan saw the gun in Yuanta's hand and felt helpless: "Yuanta, don't take such dangerous things, put it back quickly."
Yuan Tai was a little unhappy. After all, it was a game, and it was an emergency, so he wanted to bring the gun with him: "Why, we are going to meet a dangerous guy, why can't we bring a gun?"
"There's no need to use unsuitable weapons. It will only cause trouble." Conan was rarely strict.
Chu Ming stepped forward and gently but forcefully took the gun from Yuan Tai's hand. After thinking for a while, he handed it to Gin: "Revolver, you should have practiced it before, right?"
Gin didn't refuse, he took the gun and put it in his pocket: "Let's go."
Genta looked at Gin's pocket somewhat unwillingly. It was obviously he who found the gun first, but now Conan didn't let him use it, but let his older brother take it away.
But he still didn't dare to talk to Gin about something. He always felt that this cold big brother in front of him sometimes had a temperament similar to that of angry Brother Chu Ming. In short, he was a little hesitant to get close to him.
Conan had no objection to Gin taking the gun. It would be a joke if a member of an organization couldn't use a gun. However, he had to take the children away later. If a fight really broke out, these two members of the organization probably wouldn't care about them. He picked up the photo of the ring in the investigation of Jack the Ripper and hurriedly followed Gin and Chu Ming.
Walking on the streets of London, I saw from afar that the hands on the clock tower were pointing to 30.
"There are only 30 people left. We don't know what happened to Ai. She didn't want to stay with us and insisted on going to find Solomon's treasure..." Ayumi was a little worried.
"No, Haibara-san is so smart. It's just finding treasure. It's not a problem for her at all." Mitsuhiko clenched his fists, but his eyes were not as firm as his tone.
"Let alone them, we don't know if anyone on our side will be eliminated..." Yuantai was in a low mood.
"Why are you in such a hurry? We have already found the clues. We just need to follow the clues one by one. Even if someone is eliminated along the way, it doesn't matter. As long as the last person succeeds, it will be fine."
Under the dim street lights, Chu Ming's smile was like a spring breeze that blew away the gloom in the hearts of several children. Chu Ming still had some acting skills in pretending to be a caring sister. At least he couldn't let the children lose their fighting spirit now. It would be fine if they were eliminated by themselves, but he didn't want to implicate him and Gin.
The children nodded vigorously, followed Gin, and successfully found the bridge club.
It was a warm night, and the alley that they had just walked through was almost completely swallowed up by darkness except for the street lights. However, the street was different. All the prosperity and noise seemed to be gathered here. Even though it was probably late at night, the club was still brightly lit, and the slightly noisy sounds were carried into Chu Ming's ears by the wind.
"Let's go in through the back door. Do you want to go in? Or shall I and Erzhen go in alone? But I have said before, you also mentioned how dangerous Professor Moran is, so if there is any conflict later, Erzhen and I may not be able to take care of you." Chu Ming turned around and asked the long tails behind him.
Conan was the first to respond: "I want to go in!"
Hearing this, the young detectives also rushed forward: "Then we'll go too! After all, it's in the game, I'm not afraid!"
It was even more impossible for Moroboshi Hideki to stay outside. He took a step forward and said, "Then let's go too!"
Xiaolan could only follow behind and said helplessly: "Then I'll go in too, at least I can keep an eye on you guys."
Gin was a little impatient. Taking care of a group of children made him extremely irritated, but since his every move was being watched, he could not act rashly. He could only let Chu Ming take the children with him like a child.
Perhaps everyone was immersed in gambling and no one noticed that a large group of people sneaked in through the back door. In addition, Chu Ming repeatedly told them to follow Gin's footsteps. After all, every step Gin took fell precisely in the blind spot of vision, effectively hiding his figure.
