Conan's All-Member Force Enhancement Plan

After being scolded by Haibara Ai, Edogawa Conan finally put away his envious and jealous look and started to think about the case seriously.

“According to your deduction, this killer has been committing crimes for five years, and his methods have been upgraded three years ago.

At first, the murderer committed the crime secretly with hidden intentions, but later he even dared to dump the body on the street openly.

Despite committing so many crimes, the police knew nothing about the killer. Even if the murderer had not decided to expose the victims to the public, the police would not have known that a serial murder case had occurred.

Such a clever move really looks like a shrewd behind-the-scenes commander."

Conan Edogawa pondered for a moment: "Sister Xiaolan, have you checked the nearest place where corpses were dumped?"

Mao Lilan shook her head: "No, we received the information sent by Ms. Betty before we had the chance to go, and then we went to check Bruce's affairs."

Conan Edogawa touched his chin: "Come to think of it, that Betty is also suspicious, have you checked her out?"

Huiyuan Ai continued: "Although it is normal for NPCs to deliver information in the game, Sister Xiaolan still asked her men to check it out. There should be results by dawn."

Edogawa Conan nodded: "Hurry up, it's best to get the news before Colonel Moran arrives."

A night in the game goes by very quickly, and it only feels like two or three hours.

The five people in 221B chatted with each other and time passed quickly. Perhaps because the game set the players' perception of time to be relatively dull, they did not feel sleepy or tired at all from staying up late.

Most of the other players also did not sleep, but chose to use the night time to do more things.

Of course, there was one player who couldn't sleep either, but couldn't do anything.

Kojima Genta was tied up in the basement and could do nothing but feel helpless and furious. He didn't even realize that a night had passed.

He started out getting angry and cursing at the sound of dripping water, then he became discouraged and numb.

He completely relaxed his body, drooped his head, and let the chain helmet support his body. He silently muttered to himself how many people he would ask to come here to help him get revenge when he got out of the game.

I kept myself from collapsing by imagining the pleasant scene of revenge.

Until he heard footsteps again and the sound of a door opening.

It is no exaggeration to say that Genta Kojima almost cried with joy.

He had never stayed in such a lonely scene for so long.

At this moment, no matter who the visitor was for, even if he came to beat him up, Kojima Genta could fully accept it.

It won’t hurt anyway.

Si Xuanyu certainly didn't come here to beat Kojima Genta. She wasn't really a pervert and didn't have the habit of abusing children with her own hands.

She came to kill Genta Kojima.

Si Xuanyu changed back into the suit and still walked at a leisurely pace into the basement. She walked up to the thin man tied to the wall and pinched his neck, but she did not lower her voice this time.

Then Kojima Genta saw the man from before coming again, his cold fingers slowly tightening around his neck, and a soft female voice that was different from the androgynous one before sounded in his ears: "Go to where you should go."

Genta Kojima's eyes widened, and the next second his vision blurred and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up again, he saw the transparent game cabin door and the bright conference hall in front of him.

Si Xuanyu broke the thin man's neck and left the basement without any further action.

Since she intended to push the case to Moriarty, the crime scene must of course be dealt with.

She cleared out everything in the house that had anything to do with Betty Bright's identity, and then interspersed it with reports praising Moriarty and objects that showed that the owner of the house had a high regard for Moriarty.

All this didn't take too long.

This is Betty Bright's killing studio, not her residence. There aren't actually many clues related to Betty Bright that appeared in the study before, and they are hidden quite covertly, the kind that most people can't find when they come in, so it's not difficult to clean up.

After Si Xuanyu checked the whole house and found no key clues pointing to Betty Bright, she left the key in the house and left.

After going out, Si Xuanyu put some thought into hiding and disguising himself all the way.

After she turned a few alleys, the simple and convenient suit she was wearing had turned into a complicated and gorgeous puffy skirt. All her accessories were changed, and the camouflage attached to her finger joints when she was moving in the killing room was also removed one by one.

The brutal and cruel serial killer turned back into an elegant, steady and mysterious businessman.

Although it was already daytime, the sky in London was still dark, not much better than at night.

Hiroki Sawada was very diligent and arrived at 221B Baker Street at dawn.

It was still the conscientious landlord Suzuki Sonoko who opened the door.

She didn't know Sebastian Moran, but she heard Mao Lilan and others talk about it. They hoped that this person would come later to give them time to investigate the case.

After hearing Sawada Hiroki introduce himself, Suzuki Sonoko's eyes widened, and she subconsciously slammed the door and ran upstairs to alert Mao Lilan and others: "Colonel Moran is here, should we let him in now?"

Mao Lilan was surprised: "Why is he here so early? Don't the NPCs sleep?"

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya said in a panic, "What should we do? We haven't checked the place where the bodies were dumped yet! Betty Bright's information hasn't been sent over yet. Will Colonel Moran cause any trouble? I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm not going to be arrested and eliminated soon, am I?"

Conan Edogawa frowned: "Colonel Moran is not such a diligent person. Even if he wants to keep an eye on Holmes, he doesn't have to do it so early. Did he get the news and know that I'm here?"

Huiyuan Ai said calmly: "Let's let the person in first. If we delay for too long, it will only arouse suspicion."

Indeed, now that people have arrived, there is no point in saying anything.

Mao Lilan stood up and said, "Let's go, Sonoko, I'll go with you."

Hiroki Sawada was almost hit on the nose by the door, and was still frightened. He decisively gave up the idea of ​​continuing to act. As soon as he entered the door, he said, "I am %]@[&$#."

Hiroki Sawada:?

Well, players must be honest and face all obstacles that fell on Hiroki Sawada.

Mao Lilan was surprised: "...You are also a player?!"

Huihara Ai looked down from upstairs: "Another person we are familiar with."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya said excitedly: "Who is it? Genta? Or Ayumi? Or Brother Hiroki? Ah! Could it be Sister Xuanyu?"

Sawada Hiroki looked up and smiled, "Mitsuhiko is pretty good, he guessed it with the third one."

Mao Lilan smiled happily: "Hiroki? It's you! I didn't notice it at all in the club."

Huiyuan Ai crossed her arms and said, "Good acting."

Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya pouted: "How come everyone can tell who I am..."

Edogawa Conan couldn't help but close his eyes: "Don't make this expression with the image of Sherlock Holmes!"

Huihara Ai patted Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya's shoulder and said, "That's good. You don't have to worry about being caught by Colonel Moran and taken to Moriarty."

Suzuki Sonoko thought: "It turns out that Moriarty didn't want to monitor Holmes, but the game deliberately brought the players together."

The alarm was lifted, and everyone felt relieved and could boldly plan the investigation.

After exchanging information with a few people, Hiroki Sawada took on the job of investigating Betty Bright.

Colonel Moran's intelligence system is much more complete than the police's. As Moriarty's confidant, he has a lot of resources at his disposal. He is better at investigating people's backgrounds, and the information he finds out will be more real and detailed.

However, it takes time to look up the information, so Conan Edogawa decided to go to the place where the body was dumped first.

Suzuki Sonoko still firmly chooses her own path as a life player. She even wants to bring a few more people along, as a detective mission doesn't require so many people.

There is an opera performance of Irene Adler today. Suzuki Sonoko bought the tickets yesterday and originally wanted to take "Sherlock Holmes" along, but Conan Edogawa said that they still need Holmes' character skills, so Mitsuhiko Tsuburaya cannot be absent from the investigation process.

Ran Mouri also refused to go to the opera with Sonoko Suzuki. As Sheriff Lestrade, she was responsible for controlling the police force.

However, Haibara Ai and Sawada Hiroki readily agreed to go and have fun with Suzuki Sonoko. Anyway, neither they themselves nor their character skills would be of any help in solving the case, so there was no point in going.

So they split into two groups. Suzuki Sonoko brought Haibara Ai and Sawada Hiroki to the performance venue happily. On the way, they kept gossiping about what Irene Adler, the only person Holmes had ever loved, would look like.

After the three of them had successfully entered the backstage of the performance and met Irene Adler, within ten minutes, the three of them looked at each other with stiff smiles, and then tentatively called out to "Irene Adler": "Ayumi?"
