Chapter 363 The approaching truth
There are only four people left in this game.
Yuya walked in front.
After knowing that Miss Shiho was not eliminated, Yuya felt a little relieved. He knew very well that there would be no more accidents in the rest of the trip before Jack the Ripper was caught.
As for how Noah's Ark wants to play and follow the plot later, it's up to him.
Even if they didn't survive, it wouldn't affect the game because there was still a Miyano Shiho left outside the train.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that Noah's Ark did a good thing?
Conan's expression was a little heavy.
He suddenly realized that he and others might have been deceived by Moriarty.
When the explosion occurred in the opera house, he hurriedly took the time to look at the situation on Moriarty's side, only to find that he was not affected by the explosion at all. The other party was laughing wildly and looking at the chaotic scene below.
——It can be said that Professor Moriarty is worthy of being called the Napoleon of the criminal world and the mentor of crime. Conan feels ashamed of himself for his calmness in the face of difficulties.
Although it was just a quick glance, Conan could imagine that while they were fleeing with Irene Adler in a panic, Moriarty was watching the show leisurely and even left the opera house easily. He might have prepared a safe passage for departure in advance.
Conan couldn't help but wonder if Moriarty's words about Jack the Ripper being out of control and his desire to get rid of this uncontrollable chess piece were true.
Because judging from the situation in the opera house at the time, Jack the Ripper obviously knew Moriarty's location and deliberately avoided the explosion there.
Conan couldn't help but feel a sinking sensation in his heart, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.
But if Jack the Ripper was not out of control, why did Moriarty do this? Was it to kill these men of Sherlock Holmes?
Come to think of it, Youya seemed to have said that Moriarty regarded him as a disciple of Sherlock Holmes, so wouldn't it be natural for them, a few kids, to become the Baker Street Guerrillas?
So, Moriarty deliberately designed this to let Jack the Ripper kill these Sherlock Holmes' men?
When you think about it this way, it does seem reasonable.
Think about it from another angle. Even if Jack the Ripper really lost control, Moriarty used them to get rid of this unstable chess piece. They would have to pay a heavy price to deal with a crazy Jack the Ripper...
Actually, it is true. Originally, they had eleven people, but now there are only four left... no, five people, half of them are gone, and there is still one more person.
In the end, no one was caught.
In short, whether they die or Jack the Ripper dies, Professor Moriarty will not lose.
What a good calculation!
Unfortunately, things don't go according to your script. Conan's eyes lit up with a fire of fighting spirit.
After the only four remaining players entered the carriage, they moved forward along the carriages, secretly looking for Jack the Ripper who had mixed into the crowd.
There were not many people on the train, but they did not see any suspicious people along the way. However, they met the train conductor.
Yuya and Conan observed the conductor's fingers, looked at each other and nodded.
Yuyou also told him about Jack the Ripper sneaking into the car.
"What did you say? Jack the Ripper got on our train? When?!" The conductor panicked, pacing back and forth anxiously, asking in a panic, "What should we do?"
Yuya quickly comforted him, "Don't worry, we are here to catch Jack the Ripper. His outfit is very recognizable, but we haven't found anyone similar along the way. Since you haven't seen him either, it means he may have disguised himself and blended into the crowd.
Please gather the passengers in one car and we will take care of finding him.”
The conductor was a little worried: "But, that's Jack the Ripper! You guys..." He looked up and down at the few people. The two young ones looked like they were not adult men and women. Could two little kids deal with that murderer?
Yuya smiled slightly and took out the revolver he had taken from Holmes's house: "Mr. Holmes entrusted us with this matter. He gave it to me at the time."
Yuya showed the bottom of the buttstock to the conductor, which was engraved with the words S.H. - Sherlock Holmes.
Since the background is set in the era when Sherlock Holmes existed, no one would fail to recognize that this is the abbreviation of Sherlock Holmes' name.
The conductor immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was Mr. Holmes who entrusted them with the task, there would definitely be no problem.
He immediately called the conductor to gather the passengers.
Soon, the passengers who were scattered all over the place were gathered in the same carriage.
Some people were unwilling to cooperate at first, but when they heard that Jack the Ripper had sneaked onto the train, they immediately became very cooperative, hoping to catch the murderer as soon as possible to avoid becoming the next victim.
"Everyone, everyone is here, including the train attendant on the train." The conductor said to Youya.
Yuya nodded, exchanged glances with Conan, then stepped forward and raised his hands in front of his chest: "Everyone please raise your hands like me, I want to make sure that no one is carrying any weapons."
Because the conductor had told them in advance that these people were commissioned by Mr. Holmes to capture Jack the Ripper, they were very cooperative and put their hands up in front of their chests.
Conan looked around the car, his eyes sweeping over all the passengers. His gaze paused imperceptibly on one of the passengers' fingers, and his glasses made a crackling sound, reflecting a flash of light.
He winked at Youya secretly.
Youye naturally noticed the man's fingers and nodded, "Okay, you can put it down now."
The conductor asked carefully: "Well, can we find out who Jack the Ripper is by doing this?"
Yuya nodded slightly, "Yes, I already know who it is."
Everyone looked at the strangers around them in confusion, while those who knew each other hugged each other and moved a little away from others.
"Who is it! Catch him quickly!" someone shouted in panic.
Youya waved his hand: "Don't worry, let's first talk about how we confirmed the identity of Jack the Ripper."
He winked at Conan, who nodded slightly and took a step forward. Ran Mouri took a step forward slightly, secretly accumulating some strength, and protected Conan within the range of her actions.
Conan looked at the passenger door and said, "According to the investigation information provided to us by Mr. Holmes, Jack the Ripper's first victim, Honey Charlest, was a woman from the small town of Windsor, where she was born, grew up, and married, but she never wanted to stay in that poor little place. So ten years ago, she left her son and her dying husband behind and came to London alone."
As he spoke, he pulled out a photo from his open pocket - he had not originally planned to take it with him, but before leaving, he suddenly realized that his father was playing a cameo role in the photo, so he felt no pressure when taking the thing.
I even took a few more copies of the information.
He held up the photo and showed it to everyone. On it was a pair of rings, one large and one small.
"Honey Charles was killed near Whitechapel, and a pair of these relics were left at the scene. At that time, the church was holding a 'personal bazaar'."
"The larger ring belongs to Honey Charles, and the other one belongs to her son. But that son has now turned into a murderer and is known as Jack the Ripper!"
