Conan: Start with three choices, but sequence potion

Chapter 150 Moriarty?

"But how do we find this professor?" asked Mao Lilan.

"As long as we can find someone related to him," Conan said with a smile, "we can contact Colonel Sebastian Moran."

Mao Lilan, who was influenced by Kudo Shinichi, also knew this name.

Suzuki Sonoko pulled another book from the bookshelf.

"Here's a book called 'Study on Colonel Moran'. It says that this colonel often hangs out in the card club in the city center." She gave an important clue.

"Then let's go over there quickly!" The three little ones couldn't wait.

"Uh," Suzuki Sonoko suddenly felt a little unsure and asked softly, "Does anyone know the way?"

"."

Finally, Conan stepped forward.

With the next task prompt, everyone left Holmes's house and headed towards the card club frequented by Colonel Moran.

From time to time, a carriage would pass by on the road. The cold night wind blew on the trees on the roadside, making the leaves rustle.

Big Ben could be seen in the distance. Yuan Tai pointed at the hands on the clock face of Big Ben and said in surprise, "The hour hand is moving backwards!"

The minute hand just jumped back from the 39 minute position to the 38 minute position, and soon fell back to the 37 minute position.

Conan quickly saw through the meaning of the clock dial: "That's the number of people participating in the game. Now there are probably only 37 people left."

"What is that?" Mitsuhiko suddenly pointed at the top of Big Ben. "It seems like there is a dark shadow on it, and there is also an unclear object glowing on it."

Upon hearing this, the others also looked at it intently, but the distance was too far and the sky was too dark, so they could not see clearly.

"Maybe it's undergoing maintenance." Suzuki Sonoko guessed.

Without any further discoveries, everyone just treated this as an episode and soon stopped paying attention to it.

After a while of traveling, everyone finally arrived at the prosperous area around the Thames.

A card club with a red exclamation mark came into view.

Perhaps because they have collected enough prerequisite clues, the mission location was automatically highlighted.

"Only at this moment can I clearly realize that this is a game world," Suzuki Sonoko said with emotion.

But what's the point of putting an exclamation mark here? If Conan didn't know the way, they would probably be lost in London for a long time. It would be better to give them an automatic route finding system!
There was a guard at the front door, so everyone had to sneak to the back door of the club, which was the entrance and exit for club staff.

The club was a bit quiet inside, not like the "British gentleman atmosphere" one might imagine, with people drinking and playing with leaves. There was only a muscular man with a mustache leaning against the table, his arm wrapped in gauze.

Apart from this person, there is no one else in the club.

Conan also saw a small pool of blood on the ground and a deep cut on the wall.

From the glowing letters above the man's head, everyone knew he was the Colonel Moran they were looking for.

"Hello." Mao Lilan asked tentatively, attracting Colonel Moran's fierce gaze.

However, for some reason, Colonel Moran's eyes soon softened and became less aggressive.

"Who are you?" "We are here for Professor Moriarty, hoping to find Jack the Ripper through him."

After hearing the first half of the sentence, Colonel Moran's muscles tensed suddenly, as if he was about to riot at the next moment. However, after hearing the second half, he calmed down strangely.

"You're looking for Jack the Ripper?" he asked calmly. "What do you want to do with him?"

Mao Lilan plucked up the courage to tell the purpose of himself and others: "The crime he committed has caused panic in the whole of London. We hope to bring him to justice."

Colonel Moran suddenly became interested, glanced at the pool of blood on the ground, was silent for a while, and then pointed to the corner.

"Sit down for a while. The professor will be here later. It's up to you whether he can help you or not."

Mao Lilan breathed a sigh of relief, said thank you, and took the others to the corner to find a chair to sit down and wait.

"It seems that Colonel Moran is not as cruel as we imagined." Suzuki Sonoko whispered in her ear, "I thought he would shoot us without saying anything."

"Don't judge a book by its cover." Mao Lilan was a little puzzled in her heart, but she still said, "This may just mean that Professor Moriarty may really be able to help us."

Conan looked at the wine bottle on the main table. The inverted wine glass looked like it had been wiped clean after use, and the cork of the bottle did not seem to be strong. The surface of the wine seemed to have been stolen by someone, and it looked like it had been opened.

Why does it feel like Professor Moriarty has been here and even had a drink?

He began to have some doubts about what Colonel Moran said.

However, this suspicion did not last long, and the club's doors were opened.

A figure in an old black coat gently pushed open the door, leaning on a gold-rimmed gentleman's cane, with almost half of his face covered by a large top hat.

"It seems that I am still late. It is not a gentlemanly thing to keep a group of interesting children waiting for too long." He smiled in his deep and old voice.

Everyone was stunned.

Then his eyes turned into one of horror.

"Open, Jack the Ripper!!"

"No, I'm Moriarty." An He raised his cane and pressed down the brim of his hat.

"Your name is written above your head!" Mitsuhiko shouted, pointing at the big words "Jack the Ripper" shining above his head.

"." An He threw away his cane, and his dissatisfaction with this design reached a peak.

"Since you've seen through me, I won't act anymore!" He took off his hat, revealing a gorgeous half-face mask.

"I knocked the real Moriarty unconscious and hung him on Big Ben. I made a simple countdown device using candles and ropes."

"If no one rescues him within an hour, he will fall from the top of Big Ben and end up like the Reichenbach Falls."

"Another good news is that there is a rehearsal at the Wattsaw Royal Opera House tonight. The famous actress Irene Adler has worked very hard to prepare for this performance and has been practicing until late at night every night."

"I have placed a bomb under the stage that is powerful enough to blow up the entire theater. I have also used a countdown device of the same length to reserve a long enough fuse. If it is not extinguished in advance, more than 200 theater staff members, including Irene, will be blown up into the sky with a loud bang."

"Big Ben, or the Opera House?" An He opened his hands, as if the two choices were right in front of him, and said in a sinister tone, "How would you answer this question? I'm asking you about the 'trolley problem'."
