Anime Crossover: Master is Not Here Today

In any case, one thing is certain: Fujimaru Ritsuka is definitely not as harmless as she seems, and she most likely has a rather terrifying, shady family behind her.

Having guessed this far, he couldn't help but think of another question—

Could it be that Fujimaru Ritsuka, or rather, the family behind Fujimaru Ritsuka, has connections with the Black Organization?

He had no idea about this, because Ai Haibara's attitude toward Ritsuka Fujimaru was also a big question mark.

Judging from her past behavior, Ai Haibara should already know Fujimaru Ritsuka's true identity.

Despite this, she was still willing to get close to him, keep his secret, and even didn't mind that Fujimaru Ritsuka associated with Professor Agasa and Uncle Mori.

This was something he simply couldn't understand.

He wouldn't dare say he fully understood Ai Haibara, but after spending time together, he realized that Ai Haibara was definitely not someone who didn't know her place.

If Fujimaru Ritsuka were truly a dangerous individual, she would never have dragged Professor Agasa and other unrelated people into her scheme.

But if Fujimaru Ritsuka isn't a dangerous individual, then what does Jack's behavior even mean?

Something's completely wrong.

Conan frowned deeply. The existing important clues were completely contradictory, making it impossible to make a reasonable deduction. This feeling was extremely frustrating for a detective.

He always felt that he hadn't yet grasped the true core of Fujimaru Ritsuka's identity and was still missing a lot of crucial information.

Let's start the investigation after we get down.

Regardless, given the current situation, he cannot regard Fujimaru Ritsuka as a trustworthy companion for the time being.

"arrive!"

Suddenly, Ran Mouri's shout brought him back to reality; they had arrived at the entrance of the opera house.

"call--"

Conan took a deep breath, clearing his mind of distractions and refocusing his attention on the present moment.

If you can't beat the game, then nothing else matters.

Before entering the opera house, Conan bought a bouquet of flowers at a nearby florist, and then led everyone into the opera house, making his way to the backstage work area, until they were stopped by a middle-aged man in a suit.

The other party issued a stern warning:

"Who are you? No one except authorized personnel is allowed inside!"

Ran Mouri said with a smile:

“We are friends of Ms. Irene Adler and wanted to encourage her before the official start of the performance.”

At this moment, Conan cooperatively raised the flowers in his hand, revealing an innocent smile, and said:

"We also brought flowers!"

After looking at them for a moment, the other person's expression softened, and they smiled knowingly, saying:

"You're her friends!"

"Then hurry up and go in. The performance is about to start. Ms. Eileen's dressing room is in the innermost room with the posters on it. It's easy to find."

Conan laughed:

"Thank you, Uncle!"

So the group walked past each other without incident and approached the room where Irene Adler was.

He had a general understanding of the situation. Just as Yui and Hideki Moroboshi had said before, this was a game aimed at children, and the logic couldn't be too complicated, unless Noah's Ark deliberately didn't want people to complete the game.

Therefore, his previous meticulous reasoning using adult thinking backfired, as he was too clever for his own good.

For example, in a poker club, if you enter directly through the front door, you might not trigger a battle.

Of course, in that case, he wouldn't discover the problem between Jack and Fujimaru Ritsuka.

It has both advantages and disadvantages.

No, I've been pushing myself to the limit these past few days, I don't think this is a good idea.

Ugh

Chapter 245 Explosions Will Never Be Outdated

Arriving at the door with the poster as indicated, Ran Mouri looked on expectantly:

"I'm so excited, I wonder what the other person will be like."

Upon hearing this, Conan had an idea.

Since it's the father's role, and he and Professor Agasa are Sherlock Holmes and Watson respectively, then Irene Adler, as the woman Holmes admires most, is probably...

"Knock knock."

Ran knocked on the door, and soon there was a response from inside; the voice sounded somewhat familiar to Conan.

"Please come in."

"excuse me."

Conan pushed open the door first and soon saw a dignified lady sitting on the sofa, wearing a gorgeous dress, with her back to them.

Hearing them enter, the other person stood up and turned to look at them.

Upon seeing the other person's face, Ran Mouri's eyes widened in surprise, and she blurted out:

"Shinichi's mother?!"

really.

In terms of beauty alone, she is undoubtedly impeccable, but looking at Irene Adler, who looks exactly like his mother Yukiko, Conan felt a little awkward.

However, upon hearing Ran Mouri's address, Irene Adler put her hands on her hips and said with some displeasure:

"How rude of me, I'm still single!"

But then she couldn't help but laugh, saying playfully:

"Of course, it's because I became single again after the divorce."

After exchanging pleasantries, Conan presented the flowers he was holding to Irene Adler, and said with a smile:

"These flowers are from Sherlock Holmes."

"Really? Thank you."

Eileen Adler smiled as she accepted the flowers, then asked:

Where is Holmes?

Ran Mouri recited the story they had prepared beforehand:

"He was really looking forward to tonight's stage performance, but he couldn't come because he had to investigate a case."

"In addition, we also hope that you can stop performing tonight."

Eileen Adler asked in confusion:

"Stop the performance? Why?"

Conan said:

"Because of Holmes' nemesis, Professor Moriarty, sent someone to assassinate you. That assassin was Jack the Ripper!"

Hearing Conan's words, Arlin Adler didn't panic; instead, he was intrigued and said:

"Was Jack the Ripper actually an assassin?"

After the initial novelty wore off, she smiled at everyone and said:

"I'm sorry, I don't intend to end my performance. It would be irresponsible of me to the audience."

"Eh?"

Everyone was taken aback by these words, and Ran Mouri said worriedly:

"But aren't you afraid of being killed by Jack the Ripper?"

Eileen Adler laughed:

"Since you've come all this way to find me, you must be here to protect me, right? In that case, I'm entrusting my safety to you!"

"This"

Although Conan had anticipated that they couldn't change each other's plans, her words still left him speechless.

Even Hideki Moroboshi, standing to the side, couldn't help but feel ashamed and muttered in a low voice:

"This woman is really bold and willful."

Yes, that's just her troublesome personality.

Conan couldn't help but think to himself that this Irene Adler in front of him not only looked like his annoying mother, but also had a personality exactly like his mother's.

After failing to persuade Irene Adler to stop the performance, they had no choice but to follow her to the stage and hide behind the curtain, always keeping an eye out for Jack the Ripper.

"Ahhh~~~~~"

Irene Adler, singing on stage, is undoubtedly a star who attracts worldwide attention. Her beautiful voice captivates everyone, leaving them mesmerized.

"It sounds good."

Not only the audience members, but also Ran Mouri and others behind the scenes couldn't help but want to calm down and appreciate the other's performance.

Conan was very responsible, constantly looking around at his surroundings and thinking about where and how Jack the Ripper would kill Irene Adler.

Young Conan hadn't yet realized that this was usually when the props should be used—

"Boom! Boom!."

Suddenly, an unexpected change occurred. A series of explosions came from somewhere in the opera house, causing the entire opera house to tremble slightly, as if an earthquake had occurred.

Moreover, soon after, building debris fell from above with the tremors, as if it were a sign of an impending collapse.

Realizing this, the audience below the stage immediately panicked and fled in a hurry.

"What happened?!"
