Conan: Developing business in Kexue World

Chapter 68 Fatal Strike
Entrance of the Royal Opera House in Waroosa.

The two got out of the car.

Kenta was wearing a suit, an Ulster coat, a deerstalker hat, white gloves, and a smoke pot in his hand, cos Sherlock Holmes.

Yuanzi was wearing a purple floor-length dress with flowers embellished on it, making her look like a lady.The long skirt hides heaven and earth, and the straps behind the back can be untied, and it can fall off in an instant, revealing the female shooter underneath.A small vest and shorts, black silk on the legs, two women's revolvers pinned to the sides, and a hand grenade hidden in the woman's handbag.

Originally, Yuanzi had to put on a stab-proof suit, but Yuanzi felt that the stab-proof suit didn't match the clothes on his body, so he didn't wear it.Kenta had no choice but to get off with his clothes on.

Xiaolan and the others who had been waiting all this time, saw the two people's different appearances, and surrounded them one after another.

The boys surrounded Kenta, asking if he had brought this dress for himself, and when he replied no, he looked disappointed.

Xiaolan held Yuanzi's hand, envious, "It's so beautiful, like a princess."

Kenta said: "There are a few stab-proof suits inside, change them in the carriage soon, we should enter the theater."

A few boys got into the carriage to change their clothes first, and Kenta quietly handed Xiao Ai a women's pistol to protect herself in danger.

The others, except Sonoko, did not give guns. After all, they had no experience in using firearms. Kenta was afraid that they would hurt his own people by using weapons he was not familiar with.

At the end of the 19th century, there were very few weapons capable of self-defense. There was no anti-wolf spray or electric shock device. Kenta prepared some umbrellas for them. The umbrella ribs and umbrella handles were all made of iron. should significantly improve survival rates.

The boys have changed their clothes, it's time for the girls.

Looking up at Big Ben, the hands of the clock are now pointing to the position of 0:7.

The attendant discussed with Hideki Zhuxing in a low voice, "At 0:7, only our group is left, and everyone in other scenes is out."

Zhu Xingxiushu was sweating, and said solemnly, "That is to say, the seven of us shoulder the lives of everyone."

"Alright, alright, cheer up, let's go in." After everyone put on the stab-proof suits, a group of people entered the theater.

When everyone came to the backstage, they were stopped by a supervisor: "Hey, no one except relevant personnel is allowed to enter here."

Xiaolan said nonsense prepared in advance: "We are friends of Irene Adler, and we want to encourage her before the opening."

The supervisor glanced at the flowers in Conan's hand and said, "Oh, it's her friend."

Conan asked, "Yes, where is her lounge?"

The supervisor pointed to the inside and said, "It's the room with the posters on the innermost side."

Farewell to the supervisor, Yuanzi said: "It seems that you are well prepared this afternoon, and you even thought of being stopped."

Xiaolan smiled and said, "Thanks to Conan."

Everyone came to a place with beautiful posters.

"That's it."

Xiaolan said, "What kind of person is he? I'm so nervous."

Conan thought to himself, the photo of Sherlock Holmes and Watson seen in Holmes' room last night is clearly his father Yusaku Kudo himself and Dr. Ari, so the woman he loves most must be his mother.

Sure enough, when the door was opened, Yukiko Kudo's face appeared. At this time, the woman named Irene Adler was made exactly like Yukiko's face, with long brown hair and circled hair with a logo around her ears.

"Xinyi's mother." Xiaolan exclaimed.

"What a failure, I'm still single." Irene Adler put her hands on her hips, and then smiled again, "To be precise, I became single again after the divorce."

With such an expression on his face, Conan stepped forward and gave Irene Adler the flowers in his hand, "These are flowers from Mr. Holmes."

"Ah, thank you so much." Irene Adler bent down and took it. "Where is Holmes?"

Xiaolan said: "He was really looking forward to tonight's performance, but he couldn't come because he went out to investigate the case."

"Really, what a pity." Irene Adler looked disappointed.

After the chat was over, Conan said seriously to Irene Adler, "Please cancel tonight's performance."

"what?"

Conan said: "Professor Moriarty, Holmes' old enemy, sent a killer to kill you."

"Why did you kill me?" Irene Adler asked.

Xiao Ran said, "Because he wants to see Holmes' sad expression after losing you."

"I want to see it too." Irene Adler smiled and said softly, "How much Holmes will be sad for me."

Xiao Ran said, "Is it really okay? You might become the fifth victim of Jack the Ripper."

"Everyone will protect me, won't they? Instead of Holmes."

Zhu Xingxiushu whispered in Conan's ear: "This woman is really courageous."

That's right, that's what she is.Conan bowed his head, speechless.

Kenta approached the garden, and whispered to the director: "I feel that these NPCs are more flexible than Sword Art Online, and more like real people."

"Ah. Oh." Sonoko was still immersed in Irene Adler's courage just now, but she didn't react when she heard this, so she patted Kenta, "I hate it, don't say these things when people are immersed in the plot. "

"Oh, sorry, I have low EQ." Kenta quickly apologized.

After chatting for a while, Irene Adler was about to perform on stage. Everyone wished her a smooth performance and waited at the backstage of the theater.

A wonderful opera, Irene Adler is worthy of being a big star, with a first-class singing voice, bringing you a wonderful opera performance.

The opera is coming to an end, but Jack the Ripper hasn't appeared yet, and he doesn't know where he is hiding.

Suddenly, a shocking explosion came, and the stage began to shake. Suddenly, the headlights on the top of the stage fell off.

"Danger!"

Zhuxing Hideki's follower showed great courage and rushed forward to push Irene Adler away from the field.

Conan and Hideki Morohoshi stepped forward, "Takizawa!"

"Looks like I'm going to be out," Takizawa said.

Irene Adler knelt down and said softly, "Thank you, thanks to you for saving me."

Takizawa's small face was slightly red, which dissipated in a burst of white light.

At the last moment, finally knowing the last name of a servant, Kenta burst into tears.

"Hurry up, the theater is about to collapse." Kenta pulled up the garden and ran, followed by a group of people.

"This skirt is really in the way." Sonoko said, stretched her hand behind her back, and pulled away the rope at the back. Suddenly, a heroic female gunman appeared in front of her.

In front, Conan led the way, "Go this way."

"Danger!"

Conan didn't notice that the statue behind him collapsed, and at the last moment, Xiao Ai pushed Conan away.

"Haibara, are you okay?" Conan got up and helped Haihara Ai.

Xiao Ai's body began to shine, "Don't give up, although we can't find an NPC to help us, for us, you are our Sherlock Holmes."

"Damn it." Xiao Ai also disappeared, Conan calmed down and ran outside.

Several people led Irene Adler out of the theater that was about to collapse, and ran towards the alley in the distance.

Out of the alley, a figure rushed towards this side quickly, Xiaolan saw it and kicked it flying.The visitor made a somersault on the spot, turned over Xiaolan as light as a swallow, and continued to rush towards this side. Seeing this, Kenta also kicked the visitor's chest. The visitor bent down, and his legs brushed the visitor's chest.

Jack the Ripper saw that there were two masters, but he couldn't kill him, so he rolled on the ground, changed direction, and ran into the distance.

Sonoko took out his pistol and was about to aim it, but the figure blended into the crowd.No choice but to give up.

Kenta and the others chased after him.

"Goodbye, as long as you are with the police, you will be safe." Conan told Irene Adler to follow.

Irene Adler stopped Conan, "Ah, little brother. I haven't asked your name yet."

"Conan Edogawa, you have the same name as your creator." After Conan finished speaking, he followed.

"Conan?" Irene Adler blinked, not knowing why.

Jack the Ripper, worthy of being the murderer of the murder case of the century, is as light as a swallow and as fast as the wind.

Kenta fired at full speed, but could only stay far behind, took out his pistol and fired a few rounds indiscriminately, but the aim was not good, so he missed.

Chasing all the way to Charlie Cross Station, Jack the Ripper rushed onto a train that had just departed, and Kenta and a few people behind him also jumped onto the train.

Sonoko panted heavily, propped her hands on her knees, "Ah, I'm so exhausted, my heart is about to burst out of my chest. Fortunately, I didn't slack off in the tennis club."

Kenta also panted for a while. Except for running at full speed at the beginning, the rest is a long-term rally to see who can't hold on first.It seems that Jack the Ripper usually trains very hard, and he has to cross several streets from the theater to Charlie Cross Station, but Jack the Ripper ran over without slowing down at all.

"Okay, let's look for Jack the Ripper first."

Sonoko is now dressed as a female gunman, and Kenta gave Sonoko his trench coat to cover her gun.

This is the last train with very few passengers on board.The layout of the carriages is a bit like the train that Harry Potter was on.

Xiaolan found the flight attendant and told him the news that Jack the Ripper was disguised as a passenger on the train.

"Please gather the passengers in one carriage."

"Jack the Ripper?" The steward looked shocked, sweating and hurriedly informed the train conductor.

After waiting for a while, the conductor used the radio to gather everyone together.

"Executive conductor, please listen to me." Conan told the conductor in a low voice.

The conductor bent over to listen, straightened up and said, "Well, everybody, please raise your hands. So we can make sure we don't have a murder weapon."

Although the passengers were dissatisfied, they still stretched out their hands to do so, and Kenta started to move.

Conan began to explain: "According to what was written in Holmes' information, the second person killed by Jack the Ripper who was mixed here was Honey Charist. Married in a small town called Windsor, but she was a girl full of dreams. Female. Ten years ago she left her husband and son for London."

Conan paused for a moment, and took out a photo from Holmes' files. On it were two rings, one large and one small.

"This photo is a remnant of the scene where Honey Charist was killed. One is of Honey, and the other is of the same style as that one, but it is not the right size for any of Honey's fingers."

"In this regard, Mr. Holmes reasoned in this way. Could these two rings be proof of the parent-child relationship between the victim Honey Charlister and Jack the Ripper."

Zhu Xingxiu asked in surprise, "Could it be that the small ring belonged to Jack the Ripper?"

"Yes, Hani put a ring of the same shape on her son's finger and ran away from home,"

Xiaolan asked, "So, Jack the Ripper killed his mother?"

Conan said: "Well, according to the investigation, near the Whitechapel on September 9, where Honey Charister was killed, there happened to be a charity sale where the things made by parents and children were auctioned off."

"Oh, did you even write that?" Xiaolan raised her head, thinking.

Hideki Morohoshi said: "Then, did Jack the Ripper leave that little ring at the event because he wanted to participate in the charity sale with his mother?"

Conan said, "Well, that seems to be what it means."

"Then the motive for the murder was resentment towards the mother who abandoned her." Xiao Lan said sadly, "But, it was the killing intent intertwined with love and hate. It's really sad."

Conan said: "The choice to kill the first woman is said to be to confuse the police."

Xiao Lan said: "But there are third and fourth victims."

Conan said: "Professor Moriarty's elite education has trained Jack the Ripper into a criminal with an abnormal personality. Even his mother has been reported, but she still continues to attack women who are very similar to her mother."

"Which one is it?" Zhu Xingxiushu looked around.

"If you've been wearing the same small ring since you were a child, what do you think that finger would look like? Maybe one in ten fingers is slimmer than the others."

Passengers held their hands to watch in a panic, and Kenta finally moved slowly to the murderer.

"Jack the Ripper, it's you."

Conan gave an order, and Kenta also quickly shot, punching Jack the Ripper.

The incident happened suddenly. Although Jack the Ripper was blocking his body with his left arm, his face was still ugly. He pushed his right hand on the chair and jumped to the door.

Jack the Ripper showed his right hand, and indeed he had a very thin finger.

Everyone was surprised: "Woman?"

Jack the Ripper wipes off his lipstick and tears off his female disguise.

Xiaolan said, "I'll help too."

The passenger door screamed in panic and ran to the rear compartment. Jack the Ripper dropped a smoke bomb, and the compartment was immediately filled with smoke.

Conan yelled, "Open the window."

Smoke ran out from the car, and fresh air came in. When the smoke dissipated, Jack the Ripper and Xiao Lan also disappeared.

Zhuxing Hideki reminded: "The passengers are all gone."

Conan turned around and was taken aback, the passengers all disappeared, what's going on?

"Where's Xiaolan?"

"It should have been taken away in the dark, hiss." Kenta was kneeling on the ground, and the hateful Jack the Ripper didn't talk about martial arts, how could he kick people at their vital points.You have to block the knife with your stab-proof suit, otherwise you will have left the stage now, "Go ahead and look for Xiaolan first, I will come over in a while."

Sonoko stepped forward and asked concerned: "What's the matter, Kenta, are you not injured?"

"It's okay, you go to the front." Kenta urged.

When Conan, Sonoko, and Zhuhoshi Hideki went to the front carriage, Kenta fell to the ground, covering the unspeakable parts and rubbing carefully.

Kenta's neck was red, and he roared angrily, "God damn Jack the Ripper, don't let me catch you."

In the outside world at this time, Kudo Yusaku also found all the evidence and exposed the murderer who killed the game developer Tadabin Kashimura. The murderer was President Syndra.
