Chapter 358: Synonym of Darkness

Looking at Yuya's appearance, Moriarty not only did not despise him, but instead showed a look of approval: "Young man, some of your instincts seem to be far beyond ordinary people."

He sensed a hint of something similar to himself from the other person, and couldn't help but become interested.

"How did you find out?"

Yuya smiled faintly: "Just now, Colonel Moran actually used honorifics to address a coachman, which immediately made me suspicious. You know, with Moran's personality, he only used honorifics to address Professor Moriarty."

Moriarty nodded slightly. He was able to notice the hidden information in such a short sentence, but there should be more than that. So he asked again: "Is that all?"

Yuya smiled and said, "Also, I heard that Professor Moriarty is a very fashionable old man who likes natural grass-scented cologne. I smelled it when you took the bottle just now."

"Hahaha, I see," Moriarty laughed. "You actually found so many subtle flaws. And watching your reasoning, it's like seeing a young Sherlock Holmes."

Yuya smiled slightly: "Maybe, I have always wanted to become a detective with the intention of surpassing Sherlock Holmes."

Moriarty was so sure that they were related to Sherlock Holmes? It seemed that their whereabouts in Baker Street were also under the attention of Napoleon, right?

"Detective," Moriarty looked Yuya up and down with interest, "Isn't that just the case? I can sense that you and I seem to be the same kind of people."

You didn't say anything either, just kept smiling.

He knew very well that at this moment, people outside were paying attention to the situation in the game, so he couldn't say anything that would expose his hidden identity.

He just narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashed across his eyes, and then he immediately returned to his harmless smile.

Moriarty raised his eyebrows in surprise and couldn't help laughing: "Interesting, interesting! Hahaha!"

He didn't ask any more questions. There are many things between smart people that don't need to be made clear. He asked, "So, what do you want from me? You shouldn't just come here to play cards, right?"

Yuya smiled and said, "As expected of a professor, I can't hide anything from you. Then I'll tell you straight, the professor released Jack the Ripper in order to terrify London, right?"

Moriarty was not surprised that Yuya was able to find such information. He put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "I guess so..." He glanced at Yuya and Miyano Shiho and smiled mysteriously again, "But not entirely..."

Moriarty is also a riddler? You was a little speechless. He was obviously just an NPC who provided clues.

But he still cooperated and started to follow the plot, squinting his eyes and said: "But now he is killing innocent women everywhere, which does not seem to be in line with the professor's style."

Moriarty nodded slightly: "You seem to know me very well?"

Youye smiled slightly: "I guess so." Humph, it makes you look like everyone is a riddle teller.

Moriarty seemed a little surprised. He didn’t expect to be retorted by this young man so quickly. He couldn’t help laughing: “Jack the Ripper is a street kid I found in the slums.

He was abandoned by his mother, sitting in the garbage dump, dirty and filthy, like a large piece of garbage waiting to be processed. But I could see his talent at a glance - a genius that was unique in the criminal world.

So I trained him to be a first-rate killer and let him be active in the dark world where he is good at. "

Moriarty acted as if it was a matter of course, without any guilt for pushing a child into the darkness, with pride on his face: "That's where he should be."

Yuya frowned slightly and made a very reasonable analysis: "So, Jack the Ripper killed women everywhere to avenge the mother who abandoned him?"

Moriarty didn't seem to care about these things. He said nonchalantly, "Maybe. I prefer free development to strict supervision. What a pity..."

"His development speed was as fast as I expected, but the direction seemed to be somewhat deviated - in short, he was out of control, and the series of cases were the result of his loss of control."

Moriarty looked at Yuya and said, "Although he has indeed grown to a level that surprised me, I don't like chess pieces that are out of control. It seems that you want to get rid of him? I can provide you with assistance."

Yuya raised an eyebrow in mock surprise: "Oh? The professor is willing to help?"

Moriarty sneered and said without further explanation: "Although Jack the Ripper has lost control, he will still obey my orders. So, do you plan to refuse or accept?"

Yuya seemed to hear a ding sound, and two selection boxes popped up in front of him, one was "Accept" and the other was "Reject". Of course, this was just a picture he imagined.

There is no reason to refuse.

"In that case, I will publish a message in tomorrow's newspaper for him to kill someone. All you have to do is wait in advance."

Yuya nodded thoughtfully, "I see. I see."

Moriarty couldn't help but reveal an extremely sinister smile on his face.

Yuya knew what his target was and naturally had no expression. However, Miyano Shiho behind him felt a chill on her back and could not help but shrink behind Yuya.

This person is so scary, even scarier than Gin... she said secretly in her heart.

Moriarty glanced at Miyano Shiho casually, not paying too much attention. There was nothing special about this woman, and she wasn't very brave either. Maybe she just happened to be the type that the boy liked.

As for this young man, Moriarty asked with interest: "Aren't you curious about who I want to kill?"

Some people are like this. They won’t tell you if you ask them. But if you don’t ask them, they will feel uncomfortable and want others to ask them. As for whether they will tell you or not, it depends on whether they are happy or not.

Youye smiled faintly: "Even if I ask, will you tell me? I will know it naturally when tomorrow's newspaper comes out."

Moriarty couldn't help laughing: "Interesting, you are more interesting than that guy Sherlock Holmes, hahahaha, in that case, I wish you good luck, young man!"

Moriarty laughed, got into the carriage, and drove away.

Watching the carriage go away, Miyano Shiho couldn't help but pull Yuya's sleeve: "Do you think he can be trusted?"

Yuya held her hand and said, "Don't worry, Moriarty is not the kind of person who would tell such a lie, even if he is just a character in a game."

At this time, Conan and others came jogging over.

"Yuya!" Conan came up and grabbed Yuya's trouser leg, "What did you say to Moriarty!"

Seeing Conan tilting his head with a look of envy and jealousy, You couldn't help but laugh: "Guess? Here's a hint. Moriarty agreed to help us."

Conan's forehead went dark. This guy...

At the same time, he habitually analyzed things rapidly in his mind. Since Yuya had met Moriarty, he would definitely ask about Jack the Ripper. And seeing that the two of them seemed to be chatting happily, the other party should not object to our investigation and arrest of Jack the Ripper.

As for assistance... Moriarty is a person who would never tell us the news casually...

According to Sherlock Holmes's investigation, Jack the Ripper's killing method was very neat and tidy, and he was a professional killer...

Since the two are related, Jack the Ripper is most likely a killer trained by Moriarty...

If you think in this way, Moriarty will provide assistance...

Conan's eyes lit up and he spoke quickly, "Is Professor Moriarty planning to let Jack the Ripper kill someone so that we can stake out the area in advance?"

"Huh? Really?" Everyone looked at Conan in surprise.

Yuya patted Conan's head in appreciation: "Not bad, not bad. You have learned a lot from me, brother. Your reasoning is basically correct."

Conan slapped Yuya's hand with a dark forehead, thinking to himself, "I'm several months older than you, okay!" But it was obviously impossible to say this in front of outsiders, so he could only be taken advantage of by Yuya for nothing.

"So, who is he going to kill?"

Yuya shook his head and said, "I don't know. Moriarty is not a person who would tell us. Let's wait for tomorrow's newspaper. He will publish the order conveyed to Jack the Ripper in it."

Conan showed an expression that said, "As expected."

But he was still a little concerned in his heart. Who would Moriarty let Jack the Ripper kill?

Moreover, he originally thought that Holmes was not in London, and that Noah's Ark was going to provide them with a cheating manual in order to punish Dr. Agasa. However, he did not expect that their helper was not Holmes, but Professor Moriarty.

This was really beyond Conan's expectations.

Who would have thought that he, the "savior of the Japanese police force", the "Sherlock Holmes of the Heisei era", and the famous high school detective, would one day become Moriarty's teammate...

Conan:... I'm still a little excited now. What should I do?
