Professor Moriarty, puzzled, slowly drove away.
Chapter 164 He's become a wanted criminal?!
Dawn broke in the blink of an eye.
Noah's Ark apologized for its recklessness, and Kikukawa Seiichiro even sacrificed himself to save Conan.
The two groups have now completely reconciled.
Noah's Ark also saw tangible changes through Kikukawa Seiichiro's performance.
These children can indeed be saved.
Children are far more malleable than adults.
Conan and the others moved to the Whitechapel area under the cover of night and rested there for the night.
I came here to investigate one of the victims in the serial murder case.
Professor Moriarty's words bothered Conan.
Jack the Ripper was a homeless child abandoned by his mother, and all the people he killed were women. There might be a connection between these events, and Conan also discovered that the crimes all occurred on Saturdays.
Conan felt that they might not be able to successfully capture Jack the Ripper in the assassination attempt instructed by Professor Moriarty.
By thoroughly investigating the case and confirming the other party's identity, you can also have a backup plan.
Moreover, he really didn't want to wait until Jack the Ripper completed the assassination before arresting him; it would be best to know his appearance, physical characteristics, and other information in advance.
The morning investigation concluded quickly.
Conan jogged over to find Ran Mouri and the others; their agreed meeting point was under Big Ben.
Several more people have been eliminated.
"Today is the day of the final battle! Where have you been again?" Noah's Ark was filled with excitement for the upcoming final battle.
To achieve the best experience, he completely shut down the big data model verification today and has no expectations about what will happen next.
At the same time, he also lifted the restrictions on Lin Che's movements—although the other party went to the opera to watch a play and did not intend to run around.
Conan offered a brief apology, and the newsboy's shouts reached his ears.
"Jack the Ripper is back! This time there are two victims!"
"Another brazen criminal has appeared on the streets of London, killing seven police officers and 148 civilians!"
Conan was completely dumbfounded.
Is this still a game where Jack the Ripper is the final boss?
How can there be an even more outrageous criminal?!
Did such a person actually exist in history?
He quickly stopped the newsboy and bought a newspaper.
When the group saw the newspaper, they were completely dumbfounded.
"This...isn't this Mr. Lin?" Ran Mouri looked incredulous.
"How did this guy become a wanted criminal?" Noah's Ark pondered, stroking his chin—this was an act; he naturally knew what Lin Che had done last night.
It's really outrageous; this guy is more indifferent to human life than the most vicious criminals in the world.
This is the fundamental reason why he ultimately created an invisible wall instead of continuing to use people and objects to construct an "unexpected scene".
Those blocking the way were killed instead of driven away, and debris blocking the way was blown up with rocket launchers. This was a major blow to the small Noah's Ark.
He couldn't even understand where Lin Che pulled those things out from!
Who is the GM between us?
The chubby boy and the invisible child were watching each other so intently that their legs were shaking.
Thank goodness I didn't provoke Lin Che beforehand; he's practically a terrorist!
Thinking about it this way, Lin Che was actually quite gentle to only throw Moroboshi Hideki and Kikukawa Seiichiro out.
Ai Haibara had been invisible all night, clutching Lin Che's coat in her arms.
Looking at this shocking news, she didn't know how to comment.
It seems that... it is indeed something that Mr. Lin could do.
“At least he hasn’t been eliminated yet, which is a good thing,” Ai Haibara said quietly.
Everyone turned to look at the little girl.
Is this a good thing?
Seems to be.
But what exactly is he doing?!
Could it be that he intends to become an even more vicious criminal, so that Jack the Ripper can challenge him and thus achieve the goal of capturing him?
Isn't this line of thinking a bit too unorthodox?
Besides, what good does being hunted by police all over the UK do for beating the game?
Everyone gave up thinking.
Conan quickly found the message that Professor Moriarty had passed on to Jack the Ripper.
Conan's expression changed drastically. "He actually wants Jack the Ripper to kill Irene Andora?!"
"Who is Erin Andora?" Noah's Ark wondered.
Ran Mouri explained, "She is said to be the only woman Holmes ever loved in his life. If she were to die, it would be an enormous blow to Holmes."
Conan folded the newspaper and turned around. "We need to go find her right now. We absolutely can't let Jack the Ripper get away with this!"
"where to?!"
"The Royal Opera House".
Noah's Ark was stunned.
Lin Che went there last night.
Coincidence?
Or did he anticipate this all along?
Seeing Conan and the others urging him on, Noah's Ark could only walk and think.
The opera performance is in the evening.
Erin Andora will arrive early, but not particularly early.
Conan and the others could only wait outside the opera house, while conducting some rather limited investigations.
As night fell, Big Ben showed that only 7 people remained who had not been eliminated.
This means that all the children in the other scenarios have been eliminated, and everyone's hopes are pinned on them.
Conan, leveraging his maxed-out infiltration skills, led his teammates into infiltration.
In the real world, not much time has passed.
While many influential figures lamented the plight of their children, they also took the opportunity to establish the "Lin Che Action Prediction Team," specifically to analyze Lin Che's motivations and plans.
Although the discussion couldn't affect the game, they still desperately wanted to feel involved and hoped that Lin Che could really bring everyone back to the real world safely in this "nonsense" situation.
Yusaku Kudo had already found the murder weapon, essentially fulfilling the conditions for solving the case; all that remained was for him to speak formally.
He returned to the control room. "How's the situation now?"
Inspector Megure quickly relayed the situation.
Yusaku Kudo stared at Lin Che in the image with a serious expression, thinking to himself, "I hope you're only like this in the game world."
But he still really wanted to shout: Can you please take your hand off my wife's hand!
In the game world.
Lin Che slipped into Eileen Andora's dressing room early and chatted with her; the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
As a smart, beautiful, and independent woman, Eileen Andora did not turn away a stranger like Lin Che.
Her polite greeting made Lin Che feel completely at ease sitting there.
However, the atmosphere between the two was merely warm, not ambiguous.
Lin Che took the opportunity of praising the other person's ring to hold their hand, which was already the limit. In the other person's eyes, this was not considered any ambiguous or inappropriate physical contact.
“Mr. Lin, you are truly learned and knowledgeable. Most of the so-called gentlemen in England cannot compare to you.”
Eileen Andora withdrew her hand, her expression gradually calming down. "Let's stop this small talk. The performance is about to begin. Now, can you tell me your real purpose for coming to see me?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
"Excuse me, we..."
Conan and the others immediately locked their gaze on Lin Che.
"Why are you here?!"
Chapter 165 Noah's Ark Instantly Admits Defeat
"Why can't I be here?" Lin Che remained seated, showing absolutely no manners.
Eileen Andora blinked. "You two know each other."
Conan nodded, holding the flowers. "Yes, he's our friend. We're together."
Noah's Ark rolled her eyes and pouted. "He's also a wanted criminal. Miss, don't you usually read the newspaper?"
"the wanted?!"
Eileen Andora was startled, but not frightened. Instead, she looked at Lin Che with renewed interest.
"How could such a handsome boy be a wanted criminal? Even Sherlock Holmes wouldn't suspect anything without knowing the truth."
Conan was speechless.
This is exactly what her mother made.
Simple-minded, brainless, and extremely obsessed with looks!
Since Erin Andora didn't seem frightened, let's get straight to the point.
Conan quickly interjected, "You must stop the performance! Professor Moriarty, Holmes' nemesis, has sent assassins to kill you!"
"Kill me?" Eileen Andora still looked confused. "Why would you kill me?"
Ran Mouri added, "He wanted to see the look of utter grief on Holmes' face after losing you."
Eileen Andora chuckled, "Really? I'd love to see just how upset he can be for me."
Where is Holmes?
Conan exclaimed that love-struck people are really hard to deal with, "He's away on a business trip in London."
Ran Mouri exclaimed that Conan had no emotional intelligence at all, and immediately added, "Holmes was really looking forward to tonight's performance, but unfortunately he had an important case that prevented him from getting away, so he asked us to deliver a bouquet of flowers to you."
Conan realized what was happening and presented the bouquet.
Eileen Andora took the flowers and looked at them. "Thank you, but everyone will protect me, right, Holmes?"
Conan was completely speechless.
That's really stubborn!
Just like his mother!
It would be great if it were Irene Andora from the original story; that way, even without Holmes's help, she would be a great asset.
Lin Che walked over at some point.
He even bent down and picked up Noah's Ark.
