Chapter 123 Lan!
London, 1888.
This was during the Industrial Revolution, and London had become an industrial city.
There is a large amount of incomplete combustion dust floating in the air. In addition, London is located on both sides of the Thames River and is deeply affected by the warm Atlantic current, making it rainy and foggy all year round.
Coupled with the pollutants in the air, it can be described as a veritable foggy city.
During the worst period, ordinary people living in London even needed to wear gas masks while walking on the streets.
Now it's just a game world, not as cruel as the outside world.
Even so, the street was shrouded in a layer of gray smoke, and due to the night, the surrounding visibility was very low.
Conan observed the surrounding environment and frowned slightly.
He was still a little confused about the situation. The so-called game should be similar to the police catching a thief, but it was definitely not just about finding another group of people.
Looking next to me, I saw only Ayumi and the three of them following me.
It should have separated everyone.
"Conan, what should we do next?" Ayumi looked around, a little confused.
"That is to say, there is no one here, how can we find other people." Yuantai pursed his lips, with a look of complaint on his face.
"It should be that we need to wait for another group of people to commit the crime, and then it's our turn to appear." Mitsuhiko expressed his guess.
"Yes, that's probably the case." Conan nodded with deep understanding.
But there was one thing he didn't quite understand: how did these little gangsters commit crimes?
Even if he commits a crime, he will leave some traces behind.
I really don’t know what Noah’s Ark was thinking.
"Eaaah!"
While Conan was deep in thought, a scream suddenly sounded in the distance.
It was a young woman's voice, very sharp.
"What? A case happened so soon?" Conan was surprised and ran quickly towards the source of the sound.
Ayumi and the others followed Conan without hesitation.
After a while, they came to the street. A young woman collapsed on the ground, pointing at the alley in front of her in horror, her face full of horror.
Conan quickly ran to the entrance of the alley, and then his pupils shrank suddenly. He looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief and said, "Lan!"
"Conan? Why are you here?" Xiaolan looked back at Conan and then said:
"Sorry, I'm going to be eliminated."
What? !
What happened, why was Lan eliminated? !
Wasn't Lan selected by the prisoner group? !
Conan's eyes were full of disbelief, and then he regained some composure, and quickly asked: "Sister Xiaolan, what happened?"
Xiaolan shook her head slightly, with some confusion on her face, and then she thought for a moment and said, "I'm not very sure, but someone suddenly attacked me from behind. I was about to resist, and then I was attacked..."
Before Xiaolan could finish her words, Xiaolan's figure disappeared from the place with a ray of light.
"Jack the Ripper! It must be Jack the Ripper!" The woman slumped on the ground screamed, and at the same time she quickly got up from the ground, running like crazy and yelling:
"Jack the Ripper kills again! I saw Jack the Ripper with my own eyes!"
The woman's determined voice spread through the surrounding alleys until the police were called.
At this time, a corpse suddenly appeared on the ground, which looked like Xiaolan.
"Damn it, was it Jack the Ripper again?" the old patrolman cursed, then shook his head regretfully.
Ayumi glanced at Xiaolan's body, quickly shrank to Conan's side, pulled Conan's sleeve, and said: "Conan, why did Sister Xiaolan's body appear? Could it be..."
"Sister Xiaolan is fine. This is just a game world. It should be a fake built with data to let the patrol police confirm the body." Conan answered with a gloomy face.
Jack the Ripper?
Is this what is called a special event?
In other words, he must find out the identity of Jack the Ripper.
Damn it, there is too little information and I can only make guesses, but since it has appeared, it will definitely be no problem to follow this clue to investigate.
"Ah, that's not good. We need to inform Inspector Lestrade as soon as possible." The young patrolman contacted Inspector Lestrade in a panic.
Lestrade? !
When Conan heard the name, his glasses began to reflect.
So, if it is Lestrade, it means that he is also in this world.
The famous detective - Sherlock Holmes.
Did you design this world using both reality and fiction?
Conan brainstormed and began to ask where he was now.
The entire game has been set to Japanese, so even Ayumi and the others had no difficulty communicating, and they quickly determined their current location.
Whitechapel was their location, a long way from Baker Street where Holmes lived.
But if you want to know information about Jack the Ripper, it is undoubtedly an easy way to go to Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes must be paying attention to the case of Jack the Ripper, assuming there really is a Sherlock Holmes in this world.
"Okay, let's go find Sherlock Holmes!" Yuantai looked very excited after learning that there might be Sherlock Holmes here.
Mitsuhiko immediately agreed: "Yes, as long as we find Holmes, we will definitely be able to solve all problems."
Holmes is a real detective. Being able to see his true appearance and his reasoning process is a fatal temptation for any reasoning fan.
"Hey, it's not confirmed that there is Holmes here." Conan reminded, and followed everyone to Baker Street.
After spending an unknown amount of time, the few people finally arrived at Baker Street.
And found 221 Baker Street, where Holmes lived.
"Conan, it's true, there must be Holmes inside!" Mitsuhiko ran forward excitedly and knocked on the door.
"Knock, knock!"
No one responded.
Didn't something happen?
Conan suddenly panicked, and then rushed forward to open the door.
But at this moment, the door slowly opened, and a kind old woman walked out.
Mrs. Hudson, also Holmes' landlord.
"Little friends, you are here to find Holmes, right?" Mrs. Hudson opened the door without any doubt and invited everyone in.
"It seems that she thinks we are the Baker Street Guerrillas." Conan thought.
Holmes likes to hire some homeless children to explore places that adults can't go.
"Great, now I can meet Holmes." Yuan Tai was very excited and walked inside.
But at this moment, there was another scream from inside, it was Mrs. Hudson's voice.
"Ah!"
What happened again?
Conan ran into the room without thinking, and then saw an unbelievable scene again.
In the room, Kudo Yusaku's body was lying on the sofa.
Dad... Dad is dead?
