Xiaolan handed over the flowers in her hand and said with a smile, "This is the bouquet Mr. Holmes sent you."

"Thank you." Irene Andora took the bouquet and asked curiously, "Where is Holmes?"

Xiaolan explained: "He was looking forward to the stage performance tonight, but he couldn't come because he was investigating a case."

"Really? That's a pity." Irene Andora sighed softly.

At this time, Guangyan told them the purpose of their visit: "Please stop your performance tonight, because Professor Moriarty, Holmes's old enemy, has sent a killer to kill you."

"It's the terrible Jack the Ripper." Yuanta added.

Irene Andora blinked and asked in confusion, "Why did he want to kill me?"

"Because he wanted to see the sorrow on Holmes' face at losing you."

"Really?" Irene Andora smiled. "Then I want to see how sad Holmes will be for me."

Xiaolan said anxiously: "Do you really not care? You will become the fifth victim of Jack the Ripper."

"Won't you all protect me?" Irene Andora looked at Watanabe Toru and the others, no fear visible on her face. "Replacing Holmes, right?"

A beautiful woman's request is always impossible to refuse.

Mitsuhiko and Genta, who had originally asked Irene Andora to stop performing and avoid danger, immediately changed the subject and patted their chests to assure: "Of course, we will definitely protect you."

"Thank you." Irene Andora said with a smile.

……

The performance began with Irene Andora singing beautifully on stage and walking to the center of the stage.

Just when everyone was immersed in the praise on the stage, there was a sudden bang and an explosion, shaking the stage.

"what happened?"

"what is going on?"

"..."

The stage suddenly became chaotic.

Countless stones, decorations, and headlights fell from above, and were about to hit Irene Andora. The two companions beside Hideki Moroboshi immediately rushed up, pushed Irene Andora aside, and were hit by the rubble themselves.

Light flickered on both of them.

"Looks like we're out?"

The two looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

Irene Andora walked up to the two of them, her eyes gentle: "Thank you for saving me."

One of them scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "This is the first time I've been thanked like this."

"Yeah, it feels really good."

The two looked at Moroboshi Hideki who was running over: "Muroboshi, I'll leave it to you from now on."

"Okay, leave it to me." Hideki Moroboshi nodded vigorously.

Although a white light flashed, the two disappeared on the stage.

The explosions continued to ring out, the entire theater was in chaos, and countless people ran out in panic.

Xiaolan took Irene Andora's hand and said anxiously, "We have to leave here quickly."

The group left in a hurry through the back door.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I saw a man in a cloak and a tall hat rushing out from the darkness and heading straight for Watanabe Toru and others.

"It's Jack the Ripper." Watanabe Toru said.

"Let me do it." Xiaolan roared, took a stance, and when Jack the Ripper approached, she quickly kicked him with explosive power.

Jack the Ripper jumped up, flipped in the air, and landed steadily on the ground.

"It's Jack the Ripper."

"Someone come quickly."

The appearance of Jack the Ripper immediately attracted the attention of the guards, who blew their whistles to call for help.

Seeing that the assassination failed, Jack the Ripper immediately chose to escape.

"stop!!"

Xiaolan shouted and hurriedly followed.

"Miss Irene, you will be safe if you stay with the police."

Toru Watanabe gave Irene Andora some instructions and followed Xiaolan.

Seeing this, the rest of the people hurriedly followed.

……

Charlie Cross Station.

The train started with a rumbling sound and started running slowly.

Jack the Ripper used his agility to quickly jump onto the carriage with the door open.

"Xiao Che, you guys go up first."

Xiaolan turned around and said to Toru Watanabe and others.

The speed of the train gradually increased. Watanabe Toru jumped onto the carriage without saying much, followed by Haibara, Genta and others. When Xiaolan jumped onto the carriage, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

· ········Request flowers· ·

"We have to find Jack the Ripper immediately, otherwise this train will be in danger." Xiaolan said.

"That's right." Mitsuhiko nodded in agreement: "Let's inform the conductor about this situation first."

Several people found the conductor. After hearing what Xiaolan and others said, the conductor was shocked: "W-what? Jack the Ripper is on this train?"

"That's right." Xiaolan nodded: "Please put all the passengers in one car."

"I see."

With the assistance of the conductor, all the passengers gathered together.

..... ... ....

"I don't think I saw Jack the Ripper."

Yuantai and his companions looked at the passengers several times but found no trace of Jack the Ripper.

"That's because he disguised himself as a passenger," Watanabe Toru said, facing all the passengers. "But I have a way to find where Jack the Ripper is hiding, but I need everyone's cooperation. Can everyone please raise your hands?"

Although they didn't know what Watanabe Toru was going to do, the passengers followed his instructions and raised their hands.

Watanabe Toru glanced around quickly, smiled confidently, and then pulled out a photo from his pocket. He said, "According to Mr. Holmes' records, Jack the Ripper's second victim, Honey Charlest, married in a town called Windsor. However, because she was a woman full of dreams, she abandoned her husband and son and went to London ten years ago. The two rings in the photo are relics from the scene where Honey Charlest was murdered."

"One of them is Honey's, and the other, while identical in design, doesn't fit any of Honey's fingers. According to Holmes's reasoning, these two rings may be symbols of the parent-child relationship between the victim, Honey Charles, and Jack the Ripper."

"Do you mean that this small ring belongs to Jack the Ripper?" asked Hideki Moroboshi.

Watanabe Toru nodded and said, "That's right, Honey put a ring of the same design on her son's finger and ran away from home."

410 The Final Battle

Xiaolan then asked, "Could it be that Jack the Ripper killed his mother?"

Watanabe Toru nodded. "According to Sherlock Holmes's records, Honey Charles was murdered on September 8th. On the following Saturday, the church in the Whitechapel area happened to be holding a monthly charity sale where items made by parents and children were auctioned off. Jack the Ripper probably knew about this as well."

"In other words, Jack the Ripper left the ring at the charity sale because he really wanted to attend the sale with his mother, right?" asked Hideki Moroboshi.

"maybe."

After understanding Jack the Ripper's past, Xiaolan felt a little heavy-hearted: "Then, Jack the Ripper's motive for killing should be the resentment towards his mother who abandoned him. But, '603', it should be a murderous intention mixed with love and hate. How sad."

Watanabe Toru continued, "I heard they chose an unrelated woman as the first victim in order to blur the police's focus."

"But there are still the third and fourth victims," ​​Mitsuhiko interrupted.

Watanabe Toru explained: "Professor Moriarty's gifted education cultivated Jack the Ripper into a criminal with an abnormal personality. Even after he had avenged his mother, he would continue to attack women who looked very similar to his mother."

"So, who among these people is Jack the Ripper?" Ayumi glanced at the passengers in the carriage. None of these people looked like Jack the Ripper.

Watanabe Toru smiled and said, "If she had been wearing the same size ring since she was a child, what do you think her finger would look like?"

Huiyuan was the first to react: "It must be very fine. No wonder you asked the passengers to raise their hands just now. Was it so you could see their fingers?"

"That's right." Watanabe Toru nodded and pointed at one of the passengers: "The Jack the Ripper hiding among the passengers is him."

In an instant, everyone was excited and looked at the woman who was wearing a purple long dress, with long red hair combed behind her head, makeup on, and a pair of purple eyes that looked very stunning.

Xiaolan was stunned: "But that's a woman."

Jack the Ripper raised his right hand, and it could be clearly seen that his ring finger was exceptionally slender.

Seeing that he had been exposed, Jack the Ripper stopped pretending, tore off his disguise and wiped off the lipstick on his lips.

"Jack the Ripper!!"

The other passengers' expressions finally turned panic-stricken and they all retreated to the back.

"give it to me."

Without waiting for Toru Watanabe to stop her, Xiaolan rushed towards Jack the Ripper.

Jack the Ripper took something out of his arms and threw it to the ground. Suddenly, white smoke billowed out.

"It's a smoke bomb." Watanabe Toru shouted, "Hurry and open the window."

Hideki Moroboshi, who happened to be standing next to the car window, struggled to open it.

The wind from outside rushed into the car, blowing away the smoke.

"No... they're gone." Mitsuhiko looked around in disbelief. "All the passengers who were here just now are gone."

"The game must have been tampered with." Watanabe Toru replied calmly: "Don't worry about those passengers, find Xiaolan and talk to Jack the Ripper first."

"Then I'll go check out the other carriages."

"I'll go as well."

Ayumi and the other two hurriedly ran to other carriages, looking for Xiaolan and Jack the Ripper.

Watanabe Toru pondered for a moment, left the carriage he was in, climbed the train ladder, and went to the top of the carriage. Sure enough, he found Xiaolan and Jack the Ripper up there.

As soon as he approached, Jack the Ripper raised the rope in his hand and said, "Little brother, I advise you not to come close. This lady and I are tied together with a rope. If I fall, she will fall with me."

As he spoke, he pulled out a short knife from his pocket and looked at Watanabe Toru with a cold gaze: "So, how are you going to attack now?"

Moroboshi Hideki looked at Jack the Ripper and asked in confusion: "You have killed your mother and avenged yourself. What else do you want?"

"I want to live." Jack the Ripper's eyes flashed with a murderous light: "Let the vicious blood flowing in my body be passed on to the next century on Noah's Ark, hahahahahaha..."

As he spoke, he rushed towards Watanabe Toru and the other man, and the sharp blade slashed at Watanabe Toru's body again and again...

Relying on his agile body, Watanabe Toru dodged again and again.

"If you just run away, you won't be able to catch me." Jack the Ripper looked at Watanabe Toru with a mocking expression. "This train will reach its destination in ten minutes. You should have noticed that everyone on the train, including the driver, is missing. What will happen to the train without a driver then?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Hideki Moroboshi behind Toru Watanabe's face suddenly changed.

Jack the Ripper continued, "But now it seems that you will be gone before the train reaches its destination."

At the same time, Xiaolan suddenly shouted, "Xiao Che, be careful behind you."

Toru Watanabe glanced back and saw that the train was about to enter the tunnel. If they didn't lie down quickly, they would be hit by the mountain.

"Get down."

Toru Watanabe quickly held down Hideki Moroboshi's body until the train passed through the tunnel. When he was about to stand up, Jack the Ripper kicked him.

Toru Watanabe supported himself on the roof of the car with his hands and rolled backwards to avoid the Ripper's attack.

"Little brother, I didn't expect you to have such skills."

A strange look flashed in Jack the Ripper's eyes. He thought that the kick just now could have kicked Watanabe Toru off the roof of the car steadily, but he didn't expect that he escaped.

Is it luck?

Watanabe Toru didn't waste any time talking to him. He used his left leg as the axis, exerted force from his waist and back, and drove his right leg out like a whip.
