[Buzz, a special time has passed, but you can force your way through by increasing your magic power.]

Chi Chufeng frowned, did not try again, opened his eyes, and found himself back in the real world.

He first went to find Officer Shiratori, made some arrangements, and then strolled into the game control room.

In the game control room, Chairman Schindler, Inspector Megure, Yusaku Kudo, and others stared in disbelief at the game screen.

Of the four games, the forty children got bored and started playing hide-and-seek.

Although they won, they couldn't get out; it must have been Noah's Ark's doing.

Only Conan and his team are still struggling to solve cases and going on various adventures.

"It seems I have to complete all five games. This Noah's Ark is really childish; he doesn't keep his word at all."

Dr. Agasa muttered to himself in dissatisfaction.

The screen emitted a series of buzzing sounds. Although the artificial intelligence was furious, it had nothing to say.

If the goal hasn't been achieved, how could it possibly give up halfway?

"Lord Chichu, you've arrived."

Inspector Megure's eyes lit up when he saw Akatsuki Kaze.

"It's you! It's you! How did you cheat?"

Noah's Ark's emotions immediately fluctuated.

Everyone looked at Chi Chufeng in surprise.

So it was the Onmyoji who made the move. No wonder he's so powerful; even artificial intelligence is no match for him.

Chi Chufeng's lips curled slightly, but he did not answer.

That's a huge secret involving time and space; the fewer people who know it, the better.

"Inspector Megure, we should find the culprit before the game results are in."

Inspector Megure's eyes lit up, and he quickly asked, "Lord Akashi, do you already know who the culprit is?"

Chi Chufeng nodded.

Chapter 420 You underestimate my power

"The problem lies in the murder weapon used to kill Kenmura."

Chi Chufeng's gaze swept over Schindler, whose face was gloomy.

"The entrance to the Mihana Municipal Building is equipped with metal detectors. If someone wanted to prepare a murder weapon, they would have to set it up in the venue before the press conference."

"The only thing that fits this condition is the bronze statue in the party venue holding a short sword."

“Chairman Schindler,” Chi Chufeng emphasized, “I heard that’s from your collection, and you brought it to the meeting specifically for this occasion, didn’t you?”

"What do you mean?" Schindler frowned. "Are you suggesting that I prepared the murder weapon in advance? What a joke! There were so many people in the venue at the time; perhaps the murderer only acted on impulse."

“It couldn’t have been a spur-of-the-moment decision,” Chi Chufeng interrupted him.

"In order to avoid being discovered, the murderer deliberately chose to pull out the dagger when the lights were turned off, and put it back when the lights were turned off for the second time after committing the crime. It is impossible for an ordinary person to plan the lights-out time in advance."

Schindler, unfazed, continued his sophistry: "Hmph, perhaps the corporate spies found out from the start."

Chi Chufeng chuckled, "Officer Shiratori has already had forensic experts examine the short sword. It has Kenmura's bloodstains on it, and your fingerprints were also found on the hilt, Chairman Schindler."

"Of course, because it's mine."

“In fact, between the two lights-outs, a teenager happened to touch the short sword that was placed on the bronze statue at the time, and the whole process was captured on surveillance video.”

Chi Chufeng smiled and stared intently at Schindler.

"Isn't it strange that this short sword has neither the murderer's fingerprints nor the boy's fingerprints?"

"Lord Akatsuki!" Shiratori Renzaburo ran in from outside, panting, carrying a broken fake sword sealed in an evidence bag.

"We found it! We found a short sword made of cardboard boxes and aluminum foil in the basement junkyard. It has the fingerprints of both the child and Chairman Schindler on it!"

Schindler's expression changed drastically when he saw the fake sword.

Chi Chufeng smiled and said, "That's right, Mr. Schindler. Because you replaced the dagger with a fake one halfway through, this situation occurred. In other words, the only possible culprit is you."

"Nonsense! I had absolutely no motive to kill Kenmura!" Schindler gritted his teeth and glared at Megure. "Who is this guy? I'm going to protest to your government!"

"Is there really no motive at all?"

Chi Chufeng walked to the control panel. On the screen, the boys had already been transferred to a moving train.

The only people left are Conan, Sonoko, and the red-clad boy named Hideki Moroboshi.

"The short sword on the bronze statue, if I'm not mistaken, should be the one used by Jack the Ripper a hundred years ago, right? I heard it's a very traditional and historical item passed down through generations of the Schindler family."

Chi Chufeng said calmly.

Schindler fell silent.

"The DNA tracking system—that's what was destroyed in Kenmura's computer,"

Chi Chufeng said in a deep voice, "The DNA of Honey Charlest was detected on the short sword and it matches your DNA. You are a descendant of Honey Charlest, or more precisely, a descendant of her son Jack the Ripper."

"You're afraid that outsiders will know this, afraid that outsiders will know that the famous IT tycoon is actually a descendant of Jack the Ripper, the serial killer from a hundred years ago. That's your motive for killing."

Schindler clutched his face in anguish: "I'm terrified of this awful blood that's left in my veins; it's what made me like this!"

"So what if he's a descendant of a serial killer?" Chi Chufeng said coldly.

"You were the one who actually committed the murders. You drove Hiroki to his death two years ago, and now you've brutally murdered Kensuke. This has nothing to do with bloodlines; you've simply lost to yourself!"

Shiratori walked up to Schindler, who had his head bowed, and said, "Thomas Schindler, I'm arresting you on suspicion of murdering Tadahiro Kenmura!"

Ignoring the criminals' affairs, Chi Chufeng turned his attention back to the game screen.

On the accelerating train, Jack the Ripper has appeared, standing on the roof with a short sword identical to the murder weapon.

The garden beside him was tightly bound, with one end of the rope wrapped directly around Jack the Ripper.

Kudo Yusaku turned to Akaso Kaze and asked, "Akaso-san, can't the player pass the level even if they find out the true identity of Jack the Ripper?"

...

Chi Chufeng shook his head.

"It seems we have to survive to clear the game. The current scene is the last train departing from Charlie Cross Station, which was originally planned to be the most dangerous final climax. Although Noah's Ark has changed some of the circumstances, the conditions for clearing the game should remain the same."

That kid probably just wants to have one last good game.

Since he's so playful, it seems my plan is feasible.

A smile appeared on Chi Chufeng's lips.

"So, they're still in danger?" Yusaku Kudo frowned.

"Don't worry, the other four games have been completed, and the criminals in the real world have been caught. Conan and the others will be fine."

Hearing what Akazuka said, Kudo Yusaku breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good." He said, staring at the game screen.

"The train will inevitably crash into the station. The only way to save it is to use the red wine in the last carriage as a buffer. Hopefully, Conan can think of something..."

Chi Chufeng turned and left.

With me here, why would we need to run for our lives like that?

You underestimate the power of Tokyo's strongest Onmyoji.

Thanks to metempsychosis and **.. for the second monthly pass.

Chapter 421 A Slap to the Moon

In the game, the train rattles and clangs through the mountains, and all the passengers except for Conan and a few others disappear without a trace, including the driver.

With brakes failing, the train is accelerating toward the station.

"Heh, that's enough, kid!"

Jack the Ripper grabbed Conan by the neck and pinned him to the train, grinning maliciously as he raised his dagger, "Where shall I start cutting you?"

"Help! Akatsuchi-san, please save me!"

With her hands and feet bound, Sonoko was so frightened that tears streamed down her face.

"What's the use of calling him now!"

Conan stared helplessly with his dead fish eyes.

The other games must have failed.

He's reached the end of his road.

It's over. The future of the country is doomed.

"Chichu-san!"

Sonoko suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
