There were footsteps and two inspectors with pistols ran in.
“Don’t move, how dare you kill someone”
Seeing this, Kogoro Mouri and Conan immediately raised their hands and said, “Officer, there is a misunderstanding. We are not the murderer. The murderer just ran away.”
The two inspectors naturally would not believe the two men’s one-sided words. After confirming that neither of them had any sharp weapons, they temporarily put down their pistols and called for support.
Baker Street Police Station.
With the help of Conan, Kogoro Mouri finally got rid of the suspicion of being a suspect, because when Conan came in, he saw Hunter and the others, so he quickly asked Hunter to find his father Norman and explain what had just happened. Norman directly cleared the two of them of suspicion.
In the evening, everyone gathered together again, and this time, Kogoro Mori was also there.
“Everyone, we now know what the Metropolitan Police Department’s unsolved case is,” Norman said with a serious expression.
“Grand Duke of Norman, tell me what it is. Let us judge whether it has the potential to be the main information,” Brown’s father urged.
Norman was not in a hurry, but slowly said, “Jack the Ripper”.
“!!!”, everyone present was shocked.
“What? Jack the Ripper? Hasn’t that guy been caught?” Brown’s father and others were a little confused.
“Stupid, this is England in the last century and Jack the Ripper hasn’t been caught yet.” Evans must have inherited this characteristic from her mother, because her mother also likes to complain.
Norman shook his head and said, “Use your brain a little more. We are now in Britain in the last century, which is the time when Jack the Ripper was active. When I was looking into unsolved cases today, I not only found this case, but also received a provocative letter from Jack the Ripper.”
Norman reached out and took out a letter from his arms and spread it out on the table.
The content clearly stated that it was a message from Jack the Ripper challenging the Baker Street Police Department. Jack the Ripper stated in it that he would choose his target on Baker Street and asked the police officers from the Baker Street Police Department to arrest him.
“Hmph, what an arrogant murderer. Mr. Norman, does the Metropolitan Police Department have any measures?” Kogoro Mouri used to be in the Metropolitan Police Department and was awarded the title of Rising Star of the Metropolitan Police Department. His blood was boiling for someone who dared to challenge the Metropolitan Police Department.
Chapter 436 Moriarty
“There is no effective method yet. If you have learned about the Jack the Ripper case, you should know that this guy specifically chooses female pimps as targets, and his methods are cruel, either slitting throats or disemboweling them,” Norman explained in detail the information about Jack the Ripper.
When Maori Kogoro heard this, he immediately thought of the reason why he was imprisoned in the Metropolitan Police Department, and fell into deep thought, could the man in black with a mask be Jack the Ripper? However, the mask and figure did not match the man in black named Aaron on the big screen.
“By the way, this is the autopsy report of the deceased that you two found today, Mr. Maori. It shows that the cause of death was that the deceased’s abdomen was cut open and some of her internal organs were missing, with the genitals being the focus of special attention,” Norman put up another form, which was the autopsy report of the female corpse found by Conan and Maori Kogoro.
“Mr. Maori, you are a detective, and your location seems to be downstairs of the famous Sherlock Holmes. I will leave it to you to search for clues in this case. If you need my help, please notify me and I will send someone to help as soon as possible. The panic caused by Jack the Ripper is slowly spreading, and I need to calm the people down first.” Norman gave the task to Kogoro Maori opposite him.
Kogoro Mouri stood up, with a proud look on his face, patted his chest and said, “Leave it to me, I am the famous detective Kogoro Mouri, who is famous in Sakura.”
“Okay, then we’ll split up. Whoever finds the clue first should come to me immediately and I’ll notify everyone,” Norman nodded, and finally subdivided the tasks further. The party ended.
Kogoro Mouri brought Conan back to his office, pointed to the room and said, “Kid, that’s your room. Tomorrow, we’ll continue to walk around the area and see if we can find your relative.”
“Really? Who is this Kudo? We can’t even find any trace of him.”
Conan was also sorting out the information in his mind at this time. He returned to the room, lay on the bed, and carefully pondered the information of the past two days, as well as the introduction of the stall owner Jack’s case.
the next day.
Early in the morning, Conan looked upstairs again and found that the door of Sherlock Holmes’ office was still closed. He knocked on the door, but no one responded. After confirming that Holmes had not returned yet, Conan turned around and went downstairs. After a while, he and Kogoro Mouri left the office again and began to wander around Baker Street again.
Unlike the real Baker Street, the Baker Street here is not the name of a street, but the name of a city district.
Conan and Mouri Kogoro walked around for two or three hours but didn’t find any trace of Kudo Yusaku. They looked at the time and it was almost noon, so Mouri Kogoro took Conan back to the tavern they had been to yesterday.
In the last century, British pubs were not only places for drinking, but also served as hotels.
Conan ate whole grain bread, cheese, pickles and bitter beer, then stopped after eating the bread and pickles and started walking around the tavern again.
Looking at Kogoro Mouri tasting delicious food and drinking bitter beer, Conan laughed in his heart. After all, they were ordinary people. Bread and cheese were already good things that could be obtained in the tavern. As for the meat, it was just boiled in water and salted, which almost made Conan vomit.
There are about the same number of people in the pub today as there were yesterday, with basically not many seats left.
Conan walked around and felt like peeing. He had memorized the route to the tavern toilet yesterday, so he said something to Kogoro Mouri and ran to the toilet to pee.
Unexpectedly, when he was urinating, Conan’s eyes flickered because of the content of the chat between the two men next to him. He did not leave immediately, but moved closer to the wooden wall and listened carefully.
“Davis, are you serious?” the man’s tone was full of disbelief.
“David, why would I lie to you? My son really was accepted as a student by Professor Moriarty. Humph, I work hard in the mud and in the factory from dawn to dusk every day, just to prevent my son from becoming like me in the future. You don’t know, after my son told me the news that day, I was so happy that I couldn’t sleep the whole day.” The man named Davis’ voice was full of excitement.
His good friend David was very envious, “Oh my God, Davis, I’m so envious that my eyes are red. I said it a long time ago that little Davis will never be like us, feeding horses for noble gentlemen all his life. I heard that Professor Moriarty is a celebrity in the Royal Academy.”
“Haha, yeah, unfortunately I don’t know much, but little Davis has told me that he is completing an experiment with his teacher. If it succeeds, we will be able to buy a house of our own on Baker Street. Then, the place where we gather will become my home.”
It can be heard that Davis is very proud of his son.
There was no useful information in what the two talked about afterwards. With the sound of the door being pushed open, their voices gradually became quieter. After a while, Conan also pushed open the door and left the bathroom.
Back in the pub, Kogoro Mouri looked a little drunk. He looked over and burped, “I thought you, little kid, fell into the toilet. I was just about to notify the bartender to go to the toilet to fish you out and throw you into the pool.”
When Conan heard what Kogoro Mori said, a frown appeared on his forehead, “Uncle Mori, is bitter beer so strong? Are you drunk? Should we still go find Uncle Yusaku?”
When Kogoro Mori heard the name of Kudo Yusaku, he touched his head, burped again, and then waved his hand, “Let’s take a break today. This bitter beer is really good. We will go find that guy Kudo tomorrow.”
After saying that, Kogoro Mouri stood up and walked outside. When he passed the gate, he touched the girl with big curly hair who was sticking to him from behind before leaving.
Conan followed behind and saw Kogoro Mouri almost tripping over the stairs. He quickly walked up and pushed his other side to help him steady himself.
After staggering back to the office, Maori Kogoro immediately fell asleep on the sofa. Conan couldn’t help but complain in his heart, can this lecherous uncle be reliable for a little longer? Can he really solve the case of Jack the Ripper in this state? If you don’t know, you would think he is here for vacation.
After dealing with Kogoro Mouri, Conan looked at the time. It was still early before dark, so Conan took the key and left the office. He began searching around Baker Street, focusing on places with high traffic.
Norman was right. The story of Jack the Ripper had gradually spread among the residents of Baker Street.
In one afternoon, Conan heard people talking about Jack the Ripper several times, but there was no useful information. When Conan looked at the time and was about to go back, he was suddenly stopped by someone.
Chapter 437 Holmes is at home today
“Conan!”
I heard someone calling me, and the voice sounded familiar.
“It’s you, Hunter,” Conan said when he saw Hunter getting out of a car that was considered an antique in modern times.
What a damn pyramid! A person who was standing on his hind legs like me just two days ago has now crossed it. Although such cars are considered old cars in modern times and only have commemorative value, they are now the most advanced cars of this era.
Hunter walked up to Conan and whispered the latest news about Jack the Ripper into his ear.
“What? Another provocative letter?” Conan was surprised. How could Jack the Ripper be so arrogant? He actually sent provocative letters to the Metropolitan Police Department again and again.
Hunter told Conan about a letter signed with a strange smiley face that appeared at the front desk of the Metropolitan Police Department this morning. It was the same provocative letter as yesterday. Norman and the others had already sent people to be on guard. Hunter was bored staying in the Metropolitan Police Department, so he asked the driver to drive him out for a walk. Unexpectedly, he met Conan by chance.
Conan has no substantial clues about Jack the Ripper for the time being.
“Hey, Conan, what do you say if we go explore privately?” Hunter lowered his voice and pulled Conan’s arm.
After hearing Hunter’s words, Conan was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook his head, “Stop joking.”
After seeing Conan’s refusal, Hunter curled his lips and said, “What a coward, Conan! You are a relative of a mystery novelist. With your intelligence, don’t you want to catch Jack the Ripper yourself?”
“I don’t want to. And I know very well that it’s impossible for us kids to catch the murderer. We might even be in danger if we meet him.” Conan did not forget that all his high-tech equipment is gone.
“Tsk, if you’re scared just say it, you coward. If you don’t go, we’ll go by ourselves.” Hunter seemed to want to catch Jack the Ripper very much, and when he saw that Conan didn’t agree to him, he prepared to go find Brown, Evans and a few of his lackeys.
When Conan saw such a brave Hunter, he quickly said, “Wait, Hunter.”
Hunter turned his head and asked, “What?”
“Okay, I promise you, but before that, I found some identity information about Jack the Ripper. You happen to be in the Metropolitan Police Department, so help me check it out, and then we’ll develop an action plan,” Conan said seriously.
When Hunter saw that Conan agreed, a smile appeared on his face. He turned around and patted Conan on the shoulder and said, “I knew you would agree. You are right. We should formulate an action plan. Also, our team needs a catchy nickname.”
“Ah?” Conan looked at Hunter’s eccentric performance and a big question mark appeared in his mind.
“Let’s call it the Genius Boys Group. By the way, Conan, what do you want me to help you find out?” Hunter asked with a proud look on his face after naming the team.
Conan pushed his glasses and spoke slowly, “When you go back to the Metropolitan Police Department, please help me check a name, Moriarty, to see if there is such a person in Baker Street.”
“Moriarty, right? No problem. I’ll go back and help you check now. When I have the answer, I’ll come to the detective agency to find you. I’ll call Brown and the others then.” After Hunter repeated Moriarty’s name twice, he waved to Conan, turned around and got into the car and asked the driver to return to the Metropolitan Police Department.
Conan felt a headache when he saw Hunter acting in a hurry. Ever since he found his father Norman, his personality seemed to have become a little reckless.
However, Conan already had a plan in his mind. He also wanted to catch Jack the Ripper, but the current situation was obviously not suitable. He just asked Hunter to check the name of the professor he heard in the tavern bathroom at noon, just to confirm one thing.
Moriarty is Holmes’ lifelong enemy, determined to commit the perfect crime.
Conan now desperately needs the power of his idol Sherlock Holmes. The Jack the Ripper he saw that day was obviously an adult, and Holmes has a retired soldier, Watson, by his side. With these two people, he can definitely catch Jack the Ripper.
If Moriarty is also in Baker Street, then he will definitely be connected to Holmes, because in the novel, Moriarty and Holmes are not in the same place.
Until the next morning, Hunter showed up.
There was a knock on the door of the detective agency. Kogoro Mouri, who had just woken up, opened the door yawning.
“Good morning, Mr. Maori, I’m Hunter, here to see Conan,” Hunter was very polite.
Kogoro Mouri nodded and said, “Good morning. As for Conan, you can go to his room to find him.”
After saying that, Kogoro Mouri returned to the sofa and took a nap for a while.
Hunter came to Conan’s door and was about to open it when the doorknob turned by itself and Conan opened the door from the inside.
“Good morning, Conan, hurry up, I’ve also called Brown and the others,” Hunter said as he took Conan with him, said goodbye to Kogoro Mouri, and left the office.
As soon as he walked out the door, Conan looked upstairs as usual, then paused and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
Hunter felt Conan stop and turned his head, “Conan, why did you stop? Hurry up, Brown and the others are still waiting for me.”
However, Conan shook his head, pointed to the shoe prints on the stairs, and said with joy, “Hunter, don’t worry, our greatest helper is here.”
“The biggest helper?” Hunter looked where Conan pointed and saw only two shoe prints.
When Conan saw Hunter’s puzzled look, he knew that he did not understand what he meant. Then Conan explained briefly that the building only had four floors, Kogoro Mouri’s office was on the third floor, and Sherlock Holmes’ office was upstairs.
“The cleaning lady is a female. Her shoe prints are different from those of men. These shoe prints are obviously new and extend all the way to the fourth floor. The master of reasoning may be back. Let’s go. If we can get his help, Jack the Ripper will definitely not be able to escape,” Conan explained and then ran upstairs.
Seeing this, Hunter also ran up.
Walking up the stairs, Conan saw the open door and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
It’s just as I guessed.
Before he walked over, Conan heard a cheerful male voice from inside.
“Watson, today’s newspaper, and I need a cup of bitter coffee to wake up my brain,” said the hearty male voice with a slightly tired tone.
