Chapter 564: Logic Theater, Closing

...A gangster boss?!
Mao Lilan blinked her eyes. Combining the latest information, even she, who was not very sensitive to reasoning, could come up with the answer.

Because, as far as everyone knows, there is only one underworld boss related to Jack the Ripper, right?
"Could it be that Professor Moriarty personally shot and killed Mr. Baosheng and disguised himself as Mr. Yasougi? He actually did it himself instead of letting his men do it!?"

The high school girl exclaimed.

Although she didn't know much about Professor Moriarty, the villain in "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes", she knew that Professor Moriarty was unwilling to do such things personally.

Just like a chess player on the chessboard, once he takes the chess piece, he will not be willing to become a chess piece on the board.

Because if a chess player becomes a chess piece, there will be a risk of being eaten by the opponent's chess pieces. If he never takes action himself and never acts as a chess piece, then no matter how badly he loses on the chessboard, it is an acceptable loss.

But now, Professor Moriarty actually took action himself, and it was such a high-risk thing.

Wasn't Professor Moriarty afraid that the police from Scotland Yard might have arrived a little early, or that Miss Gina might have reflexively used the [American Style Iai] when she entered the room? !
"Yes, this is indeed a very strange thing. Would Professor Moriarty actually take action himself?"

Naruhodō Ryunosuke touched his chin, he also felt something was wrong.

If Professor Moriarty arranged all this and then had his men take action, it doesn't seem unreasonable to reason based on this premise, right?
But soon, Shoushadu shook her head and said seriously.

"Master Baosheng is a very proud man, and his reasoning ability is excellent..."

"Both Gina-sama and the Haibara-sama mentioned by Maori-sama mentioned it. Did Mr. Hosho call the man who shot him "Professor"?"

"Combining the reasoning of Lady Phoenix and Lady Alice, we can almost conclude that the one who personally took action this time was Professor Moriarty himself, right?"

…It seems so.

If Professor Moriarty was not confident in letting his other subordinates do it, so he killed Reito Hosho himself, then this makes sense.

As a comrade-in-arms who once fought side by side, Naruhodō Ryunosuke still chose to trust the judgment of his former comrade-in-arms.

However, he was implicated because of some illegal acts of his comrade and was eventually forced to end his trip to Old London early and was forced to leave Old London for more than three months.

"Since the answer to the first part has been overturned, then the reasoning for the second part must be overturned and started over again, right, Alice?"

Shousado looked at Miss Alice, who was only ten years old, and Miss Alice smiled and clasped her hands together in front of her body, looking cute, and she spoke loudly.

"Of course, Susa. The first part is the basis of the second part. However, the reasoning of the second part does not need to be completely overturned... How about replacing some of it?"

"Just replace some? If you mean replace some..."

Naruhodō Ryunosuke was a little confused, and he subconsciously put his finger on his forehead.

After concluding that [the real identity of the assassin is the gang leader], the next answer to be found is [why the gang leader shot Reito Hosho].

Obviously, it doesn't make sense that Alice previously assumed that the other party was a prosecutor, and then the prosecutor chose to kill Hosou Reito who had disrupted the court in order to restore order in the court.

So, what reason did Professor Moriarty have to shoot Reito Hosho?
"Mr. Naruhodo, it's not just Mr. Hosho who is being persecuted by Professor Moriarty. Didn't you figure it out before? Professor Moriarty's target seems to be everyone who participated in the trial of Death Hart!"

"Holmes, Asougi Ichima, Baroque Vanzix, Hosou Reito, Alice Watson... and you and Miss Susado, you are all targets of Professor Moriarty."

"It's just that Professor Moriarty's targeting intensity is different!"

Mao Lilan reminded loudly at this moment, breaking away from her original thinking.

...Obviously, the only thing that could connect these people together was the case of the professor more than ten years ago.

However, Professor Moriarty's behavior is completely different from that of a professor. The professor's purpose is to eliminate the darkness of the old London judicial system, so he chose to use lynching to punish those who escaped the law. But Moriarty simply let his men kill people randomly without reason and then target some people.

Naruhodō Ryunosuke couldn't imagine what these guys would be like...

Unless, unless...

"Unless Jack the Ripper was not Moriarty's subordinate, and Jack the Ripper's killings were not directed by Moriarty, but were his own actions."

Naruhodō suddenly had an idea at this moment and said this.

"Professor Moriarty's goal was simply to help Jack the Ripper get away with his crimes. It was that simple. There was no distinction between good and evil."

"The second part of the review... is as follows."

[Review begins]

"Dr. Hosho used many illegal and special methods to help Naruhodo fight against the God of Death, so it's not surprising that he became a thorn in the eyes of the prosecutors (?)!"

The flashback begins and Alice's first words appear.

The next moment, the second half of the sentence was crossed out and a new line of words appeared.

[It is not surprising that he became a thorn in the eyes of the prosecutors! ] → [It is not surprising that he was eliminated by the gang leaders because he was a great threat! ]

Naruhodō snapped his fingers, his spirits perked up.

Alice's second sentence rang out.

"Then, considering the other party's reproduction of the Hound of the Baskervilles, this prosecutor's goal should be... to make the [Professor] (?) appear again!"

Brush it——————

[The purpose of this prosecutor should be... to make the [Professor] reappear! ] → [The purpose of this gangster boss should be... to get [Jack the Ripper] off the hook! ]

Next came Alice's third sentence.

"If they can create a second Death God and a professor, then the legal environment of old London will be completely destroyed, so the opponent's first target is Dr. Baosheng (?) who once disrupted the court!"

[If we can create a second Grim Reaper and a professor, then the legal environment of Old London will be completely destroyed] → [If we can create a second Grim Reaper and a professor, then we can completely eliminate the possibility of Vanzix and others interfering with the trial of the court, so we must get rid of those who use special means outside the court]

Then came the last sentence from Alice's flashback.

"So, the prosecutor's purpose in killing Hosou Reito was to restore order in the court (?)!"

"Wait!"

Naruhodō Ryunosuke pointed his finger at the man wearing Asougi's clothes in the projection.

"So, the purpose of the gang leader killing Hosho Reito was to let Jack the Ripper go free!"

QED
[Why did the gang leader shoot Reito Hosou? ] → [The gang leader shot Reito Hosou in order to exonerate Jack the Ripper].
