Conan’s Corpse Picker

   Chapter 963 Sonoko, rest in peace

   And Conan recalled the scene just now, when he was at Charlie Close station.

  -When "Professor Moriarty" appeared next to Suzuki Sonoko, his clothes were neat and his face was not even stained with ash. It is conceivable that when the players chased "Jack the Ripper" all over the street, he followed the pre-set safe passage and left the theater leisurely.

  Conan: "..." This shows that "Professor Moriarty" and "Jack the Ripper" are not "out of control" as Moriarty himself said.

   On the contrary, "Jack the Ripper" knew the location of Moriarty's box, and when he planted the bomb, he deliberately avoided it.

   And when Professor Moriarty left the theater, he also knew that the theater was bombed into a mess, and there was the best way to go... These two people must still keep in touch, they are basically a group!

   In other words, if Moriarty really wanted to help them catch Jack the Ripper, he didn't have to appear in this scene at all.

Conan's heart sank - thinking in the worst direction, "Professor Moriarty" may not like their "Baker Street Guerillas" under the command of Sherlock Holmes, so he deliberately designed today's game so that the Ripper Jack killed the group.

   Even if he thinks in a better direction, that is "Jack the Ripper" that Professor Moriarty doesn't want to get out of control, so he intends to use the player to kill both parties.

   In short, the player must die.

  Conan: "..." In this case, Suzuki Sonoko who fell into Moriarty's hands...

  He sighed inwardly, and silently classified Suzuki-san into the group of "Rest in peace, we will definitely clear the game!".

  …

   The only three players left, or two players, and a "Xi Xing Hideki", after entering the carriage, went all the way along the corridor of the box, secretly looking for "Jack the Ripper" who had mixed in with the crowd.

   Walking all the way, I didn’t see anyone suspicious, but I met the conductor of the train.

  Maolilan came up to talk and tried to get the help of npc:

"'Jack the Ripper' attacked the theatre just now and we ran after him all the way and found him on this train. Have you seen him? His attire is recognisable - all black with black behind him robes, and a hat and half-face mask of the same color."

   "Jack the Ripper got into our car?! When?" The train conductor panicked when he heard this. He paced back and forth anxiously, suddenly turned his head and asked the player, "What should I do then?"

  Conan heard this kind of asking for help after a long time, and he was instantly refreshed and commanded skillfully:

"Jack the Ripper's dress is very recognizable. But along the way, we didn't see a similar person in the car. Since you haven't seen it, it's very likely that he was disguised and mixed into the other passengers. - Please gather all the passengers in one carriage, we will be responsible for finding him!"

   The train conductor nodded heavily and became one of the few obedient NPCs in this dungeon.

   He greeted the conductor, and everyone ran out the door together.

  …

   Soon, the passengers who were scattered all over the place gathered in the same compartment - "Jack the Ripper" is famous in this world. As soon as the passengers heard that the murderer had sneaked into the train, they immediately became very cooperative, hoping to catch him as soon as possible, so as not to inexplicably become a ghost under the knife before arriving at the next station.

  The conductor stood at the end of the carriage, looking at the passengers sitting on the seats on both sides, next to three real and fake players.

   He remembered the solution Conan had just provided, and said to the passengers: "Please, like me, stretch your hands out in front of you - we need to make sure that you don't have a murder weapon."

  "Jack the Ripper" Matsuda Jinhei, now mixed in the crowd, has completed the cross-dressing.

   Hearing this sentence, he looked down at his hand, and suddenly thought of something, and it became clear.

  —After getting on this train, Noah forcibly changed his outfit.

   His current appearance is very different from before. The only constant is that there is one finger, which is a circle thinner than the other fingers, which is very obvious.

   Matsuda Jinping thought to himself: It seems that this dungeon is about to end.

   He felt a little joy of "finally getting off work" in his heart, and like the other passengers, according to what the conductor said, he spread out his hands and raised them to his face.

  …

  Conan looked around the carriage and glanced at all the passengers. On the way, he paused on Matsuda Jinping's finger, and his glasses flashed a reflection.

   He secretly winked at Mao Lilan.

Then he looked at other passengers: "According to the investigation data left by Mr. Holmes, one of the victims of 'Jack the Ripper', Honey Charles Sturt, was a woman from Windsor town. She was born, grew up in Windsor, Married, but didn't want to stay in that little place forever. So ten years ago, she left her son and her dying husband and came to London."

   Speaking of this, Conan suddenly stopped when he remembered something.

  "..." So, "Jack the Ripper" was abandoned by his family ten years ago. That should be about the time Moriarty picked up this "genius criminal".

but…

  Conan was silent for a while: that "Professor Moriarty", pushed forward ten years, can he be ten years old?

  Conan: "..." Could it be that when Dad designed this character, he was using "not old" or "rejuvenation", a metaphor for Kudo Shinichi who ate APTX4869?

   Then he didn't want to attract the attention of the black-clothed organization, so he deliberately blurred his face?

  …No, I always feel that something is not right. I'm not that kind of character.

   There are no similar characters around. Could it be one of my dad's classmates?

  …

   "Conan?"

Beside   , Mao Lilan's voice suddenly sounded.

   She looked at Conan who suddenly got stuck in the middle of the conversation, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

   "Huh? It's nothing, I'm straightening my thoughts." Conan regained his senses and decided to deal with the crisis in front of him first, and talk about other things later.

He took out a photo from his pocket, which came from Sherlock Holmes' information book. At first, Conan was a little embarrassed, but later he found out that "Sherlock Holmes" was actually his dad's guest appearance. .

  Conan held that photo up, facing the passenger.

   In the photo, it is a pair of plain silver rings. One big and one small.

   "Hani Charles was murdered near Whitechapel. On the day of the murder, the church was holding a 'Parent-Child Bazaar'. And at the scene of Honey's murder, such a pair of relics happened to be left behind."

  Conan glanced at the photo in his hand:

"The bigger one is Honey Charles Sturt's ring. The other is what used to be 'Jack the Ripper' - this pair of rings was not 'accidentally' left on the scene. Rather, it was a token of their parent-child bond that Jack the Ripper deliberately left there."
