I Feel Like You're Acting, but I Have No Proof!

"Hmm..."

A single glance from that familiar face sent the two arrogant brats into a rage.

This scene is so familiar, all too familiar!

Even though they knew it wasn't the same person, that face had already given them psychological trauma, and their faces started hurting again.

He was terrified that he would grab his cane at any moment and beat them up again.

Noah glanced at the two of them and made the same expression.

He had just seen the scene of the two children being disciplined by Fujino through the on-site surveillance camera footage.

In short, it's pretty cool, but I wouldn't feel the same way if it happened to me.

I should have known better than to possess Hideki Morohoshi.

"But it's normal that you don't know him. After all, that guy's criminal network spans all of London, but it's very secretive. Almost no one has heard of him, which has allowed him to become so arrogant and rampant."

Turning his gaze away, Sherlock Teng recalled what he had read in the Sherlock Holmes novels, and then continued, "To be honest, if I could rid society of this scoundrel, I would have retired long ago to live a quiet and comfortable life, but the thought of this guy still running rampant on the streets makes me restless."

"I have a basic understanding of high-level crimes in London. In recent years, it seems that a force has emerged behind those criminals, acting as a protective umbrella to prevent them from being brought to justice. Fortunately, I have found out the source of that force... it is that famous mathematician, retired professor, Moriarty."

Sherlock Tennant paused, then continued, "Moriarty is a genius, the Napoleon of the criminal world. I guarantee that more than half of the unsolved crimes in London were organized by him. Jack the Ripper is also closely connected to him."

"If we find him, will we also be able to find Jack the Ripper?"

Sonoko didn't know much about Sherlock Holmes or Moriarty, but she did notice that Jack the Ripper was connected to Moriarty.

Although she knew the other person was Sherlock Holmes, staring at that familiar face still felt strange.

"Moriarty usually operates behind the scenes and rarely appears in public, so it's not easy to find him."

Sherlock Tenn interrupted her, "And even if we find him, we have no evidence to put him on trial. The Jack the Ripper case has no direct connection to him."

He paused, then looked at everyone present. "But I'm curious, why are you all so fixated on Jack the Ripper... It seems you're very interested in him, to the point that he might threaten your lives. Considering what that kid in the red shirt said earlier, it seems you're hiding something from me."

"Well..."

Those present were at a loss for words, feeling that the AI in this world was a little too real...

They even noticed these things! How are they supposed to answer that?

Are you suggesting we just tell them that this world is a game?

I doubt anyone would believe that.

"As expected of you, Mr. Sherlock Holmes. I didn't expect you to notice this so quickly."

Conan listened to Moriarty's familiar introduction and smiled like a child.

Although he was wearing Fujino's face, he felt a little disappointed.

However, since this Sherlock Holmes is real, his reasoning ability must also be top-notch.

Since he's online, he'll still be Sherlock Holmes.

No problem, he's still his idol!

Go for it!

Thinking of this, he decisively laid his cards on the table. "Actually, this is just a game world, and you are just in a game world. I don't know if you can understand, Mr. Sherlock Holmes... In short, our lives are now threatened. Only by cooperating with you to catch Jack the Ripper can we survive."

"No wonder you knew about Moriarty, I see."

Sherlock Fujino first pretended to suddenly realize something and pondered for a moment, then took a puff of his pipe before asking with a puzzled look, "So, the Fujino that the young lady mentioned earlier... does he look a lot like me?"

"Forehead..."

Conan, unsure how to respond, reluctantly said, "The culprit who controlled this game, like Moriarty, is hiding behind the scenes. He replaced Fujino with you."

Is there anything special about him?

Sherlock Teng frowned slightly. "If I was originally a pre-set character, then the mastermind behind it all would have no reason to turn him into me."

"That's because Fujino- Senior is Great Detective!"

Standing to the side, Sonoko explained, "If Fujino- Senior were to come in, Jack the Ripper would be taken down in no time!"

"Uh-huh..."

Ran and the other children also introduced Fujino's great achievements.

"So, you were too powerful and became a stumbling block to their plans, so you were forcibly eliminated?"

Sherlock Teng sighed, "But since he can become me, he must be a very talented and extremely handsome detective. And judging from your performance, he must be a very good person, with both virtue and talent. If possible, I would really like to have a good chat with this excellent and young detective."

Conan: "..."

Would Sherlock Holmes say something like that?

Could it be?

Damn it, I'm clearly the Heisei Era's Sherlock Holmes!

I have a feeling that this Sherlock Holmes might be Fujino, the sixth brother, in disguise.

Hateful!

I feel like you're acting, but I have no proof!

Ai Haibara: "..."

He was able to praise himself by borrowing Sherlock Holmes's words without batting an eye.

As expected of you.

"If that's the case, then I really am living life like a game right now. But whether it's a game or reality, it doesn't really matter."

Sherlock Tennant rubbed his chin and speculated, "The crimes committed by Jack the Ripper are not similar to Moriarty's style. I think his actions were not instigated by Moriarty, and he may have even escaped Moriarty's control. Perhaps we can go and have a talk with him. I think a man like him would certainly not allow a pawn that has escaped his control to run rampant."

"But if Professor Moriarty usually works behind the scenes, where are we supposed to find him?"

Ran had heard of Sherlock Holmes, but only had a superficial understanding of him. As for Moriarty, she knew even less. Most of what she knew about him came from her childhood friend's nagging about Sherlock Holmes.

Conan then spoke up, "If we can't find Professor Moriarty, then we can go find his associates, such as Colonel Sebastian Moran."

"By the way, Colonel Moran, Moriarty's confidant!"

Ran suddenly realized, then hesitated and asked, "But where is Colonel Moran?"

"A poker club in the city center."

At this moment, Sherlock Teng recalled what he had just seen and said, "I've been investigating him. This morning, I heard from the boy that he would be visiting his confidant, Colonel Sebastian Moran. Perhaps we can go there and talk to that cunning professor about Jack the Ripper."

"In that case, let's get going without delay!"

Conan immediately suggested that perhaps it was because of Fujino's face, he always felt that this Sherlock Holmes was a bit strange.

However, he was actually quite looking forward to meeting Moriarty.

Hopefully, Moriarty won't be as outrageous as Sherlock Holmes!

As for Noah's Ark, which was disguised as Hideki Morohoshi, it's a bit speechless.

Although it was indeed his idea to initially assign the other party the role of Sherlock Holmes.

But he really didn't expect that this guy would actually take the opportunity to back down.

He actually impersonated Sherlock Holmes!
