As a result, although his technology could rotate, it was just for show and did not unleash the 'tiger-style shot' that could shatter waves as usual!

He even experienced severe pain in his own feet due to the excessive force he exerted.

"What a pity~" Zhang Shan said slowly.

Conan glared at Zhang Shan, his voice full of resentment, and said, "If you had come running over here with me right away, Jack would never have been able to escape!"

"Is it my fault?" Zhang Shan said with a completely innocent look.

"Forget it, I didn't catch him this time, but I definitely won't let him escape next time!" Conan sighed.

Soon, the police arrived, chattering away, their words unintelligible.

"Can't this game help us switch languages?" Sonoko complained.

The next second, the words spoken by the Frenchmen sounded like Japanese to them.

"Oh? This AI is actually quite capable," Zhang Shan laughed. "With this automatic translator, people all over the world won't have to worry about language barriers anymore."

"With such a crisis, we could lose our lives at any moment, so why are you so relaxed?" Haibara shook her head, looking somewhat troubled.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shan simply laughed and said, "It's just Jack the Ripper. He's not worth my attention. Historically, he mysteriously disappeared after killing five women who didn't come home at night. And those French police officers just said that this is the third person Jack has killed. In other words, we still have two more chances to catch him. There's no need to panic!"

Chapter 194 Pay attention to hygiene!

"Hey, two chances are a very limited number, aren't they?" Conan thought to himself.

After leaving the crime scene, the group stood on a large bridge.

Conan was still analyzing Jack's information, while the spoiled rich kids next to him kept complaining about that damned Noah.

Zhang Shan took off his coat and draped it over Yuanzi to keep her from catching a cold.

Xiao Lan, who was suddenly fed a mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), was somewhat helpless.

"Don't you two have any sense of crisis at all? If we don't catch the killer, we'll be dead!"

Zhang Shan said, "Don't worry, the core of this artificial intelligence is still that kid named Hongshu. He won't really kill us."

He said this with such certainty that even Conan was taken aback.

"Do you know anything?" Conan asked Zhang Shan with an expectant look.

Beside them, several young masters, including Xiao Hong, secretly glanced at Zhang Shan, wondering why he had come to such a conclusion.

Zhang Shan shook his head helplessly and explained, "Think about it, if this artificial intelligence were really that insane, there would be no need to wait until now to take action; they could just control all the world's missile systems and nuke the world."

A world of nuclear peace...

Everyone's lips twitched.

The crowd watching the commotion outside was also stunned. After Zhang Shan said that, they realized for the first time how terrifying this artificial intelligence was!

"Damn it! No matter the outcome, this artificial intelligence must be destroyed!"

"It must be destroyed!"

Central control room.

Yuzaku also stroked his chin, pondering what Zhang Shan had just said.

"If what Zhang Shan said is true, then what is the purpose of everything this artificial intelligence is doing now?"

in the game.

Just as Zhang Shan and his companions were freezing, Professor Agasa's voice suddenly came from the sky.

"Can you hear me? Can you hear me?"

"A professor?!" Conan and the others were pleasantly surprised; they hadn't expected the professor to be able to overcome even artificial intelligence!

"Ahem! Conan, time is of the essence, so I'll get straight to the point. Your current location is..."

After Professor Agasa finished explaining their current location and was about to tell them the game strategy, Noah forcibly severed their connection!

"You can't break the rules!"

Noah's voice came.

Then, the ground beneath Zhang Shan and the others began to tear apart. In their panic, they fled in disarray and escaped the earthquake.

However, one unlucky fellow was too slow and fell into a bottomless abyss.

After narrowly escaping death, everyone was panting heavily, and Conan thought of Inspector Lestrade that the police officers had mentioned earlier.

Combined with Noah's earlier statement that there is someone who helps you in every story, Conan suddenly understood!

"I see! If it's that person, they could easily catch Jack!"

Just as Conan was happily sharing this with everyone, Zhang Shan didn't hesitate to pour cold water on him!

“Don’t be silly. Although this game is an adaptation that blends Sherlock Holmes’ novels with the historical Jack the Ripper incident, Holmes and Jack never actually clashed. Noah wouldn’t allow such a plot that gives players an unfair advantage,” Zhang Shan said.

"This……"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked somewhat disappointed.

At this moment, Ayumi stepped forward and said, "Mommy! Everyone, don't be so downcast! Whether or not there's Sherlock Holmes, we'll find out by going to see him, right? Anyway, we don't have anything else to do right now, do we?"

Conan immediately chimed in, "That's right, it's not far from Baker Street. Let's go check it out! What if Holmes is our accomplice?"

Because he was about to meet his idol, Conan became a little restless.

Encouraged by the two, the group traversed the streets and alleys, heading towards Baker Street, where Holmes was located.

Soon, the group arrived in front of a large clock.

Seeing that Conan and the others hadn't noticed the clock's unusual appearance, the spoiled brat Xiao Hong took the initiative to remind them, "Look, isn't that clock a little strange?"

"Huh? What's wrong with the clock?" Conan looked over and saw that the clock had gone back a minute!

"They retreated?"

"How is this going?"

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and surprise, Zhang Shan decisively stepped forward and explained, "This is where the French are wrong; they didn't even bother to fix the clock when it was broken!"

Just as Conan was about to reveal the truth, his vision went black, and he said in a low voice, "That should be the number of participants. Starting from fifty, each step down represents one person being eliminated..."

"Huh! Is that so?!"

Sonoko playfully nudged Zhang Shan's chest with her elbow and laughed, "Hey, how come you're even worse than a child?"

"Hmph! Of course I know! But this kind of information is of no help to our investigation at all. In fact, every time you see the clock going backward, it puts an invisible pressure on you. It would be better if you didn't know about this!" Zhang Shan said arrogantly.

"Hey! Now that you mention it, I really did feel very nervous when the clock went backwards!" Xiaolan immediately clutched her chest and said.

The three kids, Mitsuhiko and his brother, nodded repeatedly: "Yes, we should have known about this!"

Conan realized he might have overdone things for his friends, smiled a little embarrassedly, and continued leading the way.

Zhang Shan looked at the clock, which had gone back another minute, and hummed, "The clock that travels through time~ starts moving~ from the opposite direction~"

Sonoko, who was standing next to him, heard it clearly and her eyes lit up as she asked, "Is this a new Chinese song?"

Zhang Shan smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's a new song released a few days ago by a new singer from Taiwan, called 'The Clock in the Opposite Direction'."

Wow~ I want to listen to this song when I get back!

Conan and the others were already used to the two's leisurely attitude.

As they crossed a street, a disheveled homeless man appeared before them.

The wanderer held an accordion in his hand and sang a song slowly.

"Watch out for Jack the Ripper! He's waiting for you on the road tonight. What if you don't want to die? You'll have to be covered in blood too!"

As he brushed past the homeless man, Zhang Shan suddenly stopped.

"Covered in blood?"

Conan turned around and looked at Zhang Shan curiously: "What's wrong? Did you find a new clue?"

Zhang Shan nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, the song that NPC just sang was an important clue for us!"

"Huh? That homeless man from just now?" The young spoiled brats were all shocked. They were so focused on disliking the homeless man that they hadn't heard what he said at all.

"If you don't want to die, you'll have to be covered in blood..." Zhang Shan muttered to himself.

In the original story, this line was meant to remind Conan that he could survive by drinking red wine.

But Zhang Shan came here to play games, so naturally he wouldn't follow Noah's storyline.

He clapped his hands and laughed, "It moved!"

This immediately drew everyone's attention, who waited for his answer. Even Conan looked at him intently.

"Who are those people covered in blood? They are the victims! This statement is a reminder that if we want to catch Jack the Ripper, we must become victims ourselves and seize the opportunity to take down the criminal!"

"Hmm~ Now that you mention it, it actually makes a lot of sense!" Haibara stroked her chin and said, "So, who do you plan to have play the victim?"

Haibara glanced at Sonoko and Ran; it was clear that among them, only these two agreed to the terms.

"Ahem!" Sonoko coughed lightly twice: "Well, Ran and I can't either! We're still virgins, how can we play the role of harlots?"

Conan also looked troubled; he didn't want Ran to play the victim either...

At this moment, Zhang Shan said, "Who said it has to be a woman? Can't a man dress up as a woman?"

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at him in shock!

Even Xiao Hong was frightened by Zhang Shan's remarks.

Looking at the other person's explosive muscles, the group said sheepishly, "Forget it, let's think of another way..."

"Wow! You people still don't believe me?!"

Sonoko patted his shoulder helplessly and said, "Forget it, honey, let's go find Sherlock Holmes first~"

Pushed and pulled by several people, Zhang Shan followed them to Holmes's residence, 221 Baker Street.

Tuk-tuk-tuk~

After they knocked, a woman opened the door for them.

This is Mrs. Hudders, Holmes' landlady.
