I'm in Conan, but I'm in Ace Attorney

"W-What's going on? What happened?"

The sheriff who was walking in front of several police officers was shocked by the scene in front of him. First, there was a person lying on the ground with blood staining the ground, and then there were two children with blood on their bodies standing next to the dead person, waiting for something. If he hadn't found that the two children didn't have guns, he would probably have suspected that the two children had killed someone.

The sheriff walked up to Conan and Haibara Ai and said with a serious expression.

"Kids, what happened here? Can you tell me? Who died? Who killed who?"

The answer to this question was obvious. Conan was about to answer when he heard the voice of Haibara Ai beside him.

"Uncle Sheriff, no one is dead, at least not yet. Although this gentleman looks miserable, he is far from dead."

What? You said he's not dead? He was shot in the abdomen and lost a lot of blood. And after such a long time, he's still not dead?

The police chief looked at Huihara Ai with a serious look, because he felt, like Conan, that this was impossible. A police officer behind him quietly approached the corpse and reached out to sniff its breath.

"Wow, he's really still alive! He's still breathing!"

The blond police officer exclaimed, which immediately startled the sheriff and Conan again. Before they had time to think about anything, the sheriff immediately shouted orders to the other police officers.

"Hurry up, send him to the hospital! Kids, come with us, we still need your help in investigating this matter! After the incident is over, I will treat you to donuts! Now, get moving!"

Several police officers hurriedly took Baosheng Lidou and prepared to rush to the hospital, while a few other police officers were hurriedly investigating the crime scene, but they didn't know what they were investigating.

Seeing this scene, Conan inexplicably thought of the police officers in the Criminal Department of Beika Town. He sighed. How should I put it? Art comes from life. Could these policemen be created based on Inspector Megure and others?

“…Oh, my God.”

The Sheriff sighed, shook his head, and sighed again.

“If only Mr. Holmes were here.”

...Sherlock Holmes?

Conan looked up and caught a very interesting term.

(Sherlock Holmes? As an important NPC who assists players in solving unsolved cases, he is indeed qualified... But, will Noah's Ark really allow Sherlock Holmes to appear as an auxiliary NPC?)

(Anyway, send a message to Lan, and ask them to go to 221B Baker Street to see if Sherlock Holmes is really still doing well...)

Chapter 525 Watson's Treasure Chest

"Sherlock Holmes? I've heard of this name. He seems to be a fictional detective, right? Mr. Kudo, since the game script is based on historical scenes, why is there Sherlock Holmes?"

In the game control room, Kogoro Mouri touched his chin. There was some confusion in his eyes, but he was soon relieved. He shook his head and decided to ignore these things.

It's a good thing to have Sherlock Holmes as a teammate. The probability of clearing the level should be increased. Instead of worrying about why the fictional character Sherlock Holmes appeared, it is better to correct why there is only one Sherlock Holmes.

According to Kogoro Mori's idea, at this time he should send in a reinforced platoon of famous detectives to find out the truth about Jack the Ripper in minutes, and it would be best to speed through the entire cocoon game directly!

"Because there weren't many historical figures who could help players at the end of the 19th century, instead of forcibly changing the time when those historical figures should appear, it's better to add a virtual character, which makes it easier to adjust."

Yusaku Kudo shook his head and gave his own ideas, and the nominal creator of Noah's Ark, IT engineer Tadayuki Mura, also joined the team to crack the Noah's Ark firewall.

With Tadaaki Mura's understanding of the artificial intelligence Noah's Ark, combined with Dr. Agasa's technology and the special program sent by Reito Hosho before entering the game, the progress of hacking data suddenly began to accelerate.

If this goes on, it will only take ten to fifteen minutes for Noah's Ark's firewall to be breached. Even if all the players of the Cocoon Game cannot be rescued, at least normal communication between people inside and outside the game can be restored.

"Rather than Sherlock Holmes, I am more concerned about this sheriff. I remember that the sheriff who would help gamers solve cases should be Sheriff Gregson. The two have different appearances... This is very strange."

"Noah's Ark may modify the personalities and experiences of specific characters in the plot, but it would be strange to modify their appearance and characteristics. The only person whose characteristics Noah's Ark should modify is Sherlock Holmes."

"Could it be that Sheriff Gregson in the original plot was given a new plot that caused a conflict with the original setting, so that the new setting overwrote the old setting?"

As the creator of the game script, Yusaku Kudo was still wondering which parts of the script Noah's Ark had modified, but the house number [221B Baker Street] that suddenly flashed on the screen attracted his attention.

This is where the great detective Sherlock Holmes in the famous detective novel series "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes" settled, and it is also the place that Sherlock Holmes must go to in order to join the crime-solving team in the game script.

So, can we find Sherlock Holmes in 221B Baker Street?

Boom, boom, boom, boom.

Mao Lilan knocked on the door of 221B Baker Street. She pushed it back slightly and waited for the person inside to respond.

Although she didn't like mystery novels, Kudo Shinichi would talk about the contents of mystery novels every time they met, and the most common content was about the great detective Sherlock Holmes.

So now, when Mouri Ran hears Conan saying he is looking for Sherlock Holmes, her first reaction is to go to 221B Baker Street, where Holmes lived in the novel, to look for this legendary detective.

The members of the Junior Detective Team looked at the door nervously. They were looking forward to this famous detective in literary history.

However, the person who opened the door was not Sherlock Holmes, but a woman he had never seen before.

"Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

The woman looked at Mao Li Ran with some confusion, then looked down at the members of the Junior Detective League, and then she looked as if she had suddenly realized something, and she said with a smile.

"Oh, so you are Miss Watson's friend. How is it? Have you found Mr. Holmes?"

...Can these two words be combined together?

“Eh…Is that so?”

Mao Lilan stood there, and her eyes became small. She looked at the landlady in a daze. Because she vaguely remembered that Watson seemed to be a man, but the landlady used the word "Miss" here. Besides, why did she ask them if they had found Mr. Holmes? Is Mr. Holmes missing?

"We are here to find Sherlock Holmes! Auntie, can you let us in and take a look?"

Yuan Tai spoke carelessly, without paying any attention to what the landlady said. But considering his understanding of Sherlock Holmes, he probably wouldn't find it strange even if he noticed.

Anyway, he just needs to know that Sherlock Holmes is a great detective that even Kudo Shinichi admires, and that this great detective lives at 221B Baker Street. Watson? Does it matter whether Watson is a man or a woman?

"Sure, please come in. But Miss Watson hasn't come back yet, so you'll have to wait a little longer."

The members of the Junior Detective League cheered quietly, then thanked the landlady and walked into the room.

However, the layout of the room surprised the members of the Junior Detective Team, because it could be described as a mess.

There are a few old photos hanging on the wall, a pile of books next to the sofa, a leather boot and a wooden hammer nailed to a high cabinet, and a rickety globe on the table next to it. It is hard to imagine what kind of mentality the owner of the room had when decorating the room.

"…This doesn't look like a great detective's room."

Ayumi said somewhat disappointedly, and Mitsuhiko nodded. However, Genta had already run away and disappeared from Mouri Ran's sight in the blink of an eye. The landlady next to them was not surprised, but said with a smile.

"After the two Japanese friends who often visited left, Mr. Holmes' room was rarely visited. Perhaps for this reason, he and Miss Watson were both lazy about cleaning the room."

"And Miss Watson often places some weird props in her home. Even if I want to help clean the office, I can't do anything because those weird prop traps may be triggered at any time."

"…A prop trap?"

Mao Lilan repeated the term with some doubt, and then a scream was heard——————

"what!!!"

Without asking more questions, Mao Lilan turned her head to look at the place where the sound came from, and then saw a treasure chest on the ground, and Kojima Genta, who was screaming just now but now lying on the sofa very peacefully.

...Is this treasure chest the prop trap that the landlady mentioned? But where is it...?

The high school girl approached the treasure chest carefully. She circled it twice but didn't find anything special. Then, under the watchful eyes of the remaining two members of the Junior Detective Team, she reached out and flipped the lock of the treasure chest...

"what……"

Ayumi and Mitsuhiko raised their heads and watched with dull eyes as Sister Xiaolan was hit by a big red fist that popped out of the treasure chest, then flew up with a whoosh and finally landed on the sofa next to them.

"Hmm, so those weird props and traps of Miss Watson may be triggered at any time..."

The landlady smiled helplessly.

Chapter 526 The Sound of Reichenbach Falls

When Mao Lilan woke up, it was already ten minutes later. She looked up at the members of the Junior Detective League who were gathered together in a group in a daze, then stood up and recalled what had just happened.

She just touched the lock of the treasure chest, and then the lid suddenly popped up. The lock hit her jaw and caused her to faint temporarily. Then a red iron fist popped out and knocked her away... ?

Why would someone place a treasure chest trap like this in their own home? Is it to protect against the brave protagonists in those old RPGs who would go into NPCs’ homes and rummage around, then get ecstatic when they see a treasure chest?

Sighing, Mao Lilan walked towards the members of the Junior Detective League and only then heard what they were talking about.

"Hey, what is the [Reichenbach Falls]? And what is the [Professor]?"

【Remember this site’s domain name】

"If you're talking about professor, it's Professor Moriarty, right? The very famous one!"

"Professor Moriarty! ... I don't know him. Who is he?"

The three little ones gathered together and commented on the manuscripts taken out of the treasure chest.

However, the nouns mentioned in their discussion made Mao Lilan feel a little terrified.

Because in the Sherlock Holmes collection, Holmes and Professor Moriarty jumped into the Reichenbach Falls together and died together. Later, Holmes was brought back to life because of the plot needs.

Why does the manuscript Watson left in the treasure chest in this game mention the "Reichenbach Falls"? Has the famous Sherlock Holmes disappeared under the Reichenbach Falls with Professor Moriarty?

Taking two quick steps, Mao Lilan walked around the members of the Junior Detective League and picked up the manuscripts to look at them.

[Dr. Hosho Reito... The Baskerville incident whose true identity is unknown... Disappeared...]

[…Officer Lestrade…Investigation progress…Professor…]

[…Following the sound of the Reichenbach Falls, the final truth will be revealed at the end of this century…]

The text above was in English at first, but it was automatically translated into Japanese in the blink of an eye.

Mao Lilan's heart was filled with doubts, because most of the contents of these manuscripts had been artificially crossed out, and the only texts that could be seen were those parts with unclear meanings and were of no use.

"It would be great if Shinichi was here. If it were him, he would definitely know what these words meant..."

The female high school student murmured, completely unaware that Kudo Shinichi himself was sitting in the ward at this moment. Her little face was full of surprise as she looked at the blond police officer who had taken the initiative to check on Baosheng Lidou's breath.

"Did you just say you were Sheriff Lestrade?!"

The blonde girl who called herself Sheriff Lestrade seemed very pleased and nodded quickly.

"Yes, I am Sheriff Lestrade! Have you heard of my name?"

...Isn’t Sheriff Lestrade a man?

Conan felt a little headache and rubbed his forehead.

If the girl in front of me is Sheriff Lestrade, then why is the sheriff leading the team her superior?

The positions of both parties should be equal, and it makes no sense for such a situation to occur!

Next to her, Ai Huibara held her chin and looked out the window at the gloomy city of London.

Suddenly, the bell rang at this moment, and not just one or two times, but more than ten times of ringing appeared at the same time!

Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!Boom!

"What's wrong? Why did you suddenly cover your ears?"

"...Didn't you hear it? The bells... just rang continuously."

Huihara Ai was silent for a moment, then she spoke calmly.

"The bells are ringing continuously? No, I didn't hear anything!"

The girl who called herself Sheriff Lestrade curiously stuck her head out and looked at the Big Ben that Huibara Ai had been looking at before.

She stared at Big Ben for a while, then looked at it for a while longer, and finally said something strange.

"What time is it now...?" You who are looking at the watch asked me, who didn't look at the watch, what time it was.

Conan frowned and looked at the dial of Big Ben. The obviously motionless second hand instantly attracted his attention. Unless Noah's Ark had a hole in its brain, it would be impossible for it not to have computing power for a landmark building like Big Ben.

In other words, the second hand and minute hand of Big Ben do not move, only the hour hand moves to the nine o'clock position. This is probably a hint given by Noah's Ark. The only problem is that it is not clear what Big Ben is hinting at.

Speaking of which, after he followed the police to the ward, the sheriff didn't even ask them to take a statement, but just left them in the ward with Sheriff Lestrade. This behavior was also abnormal.

Perhaps, the purpose of Noah's Ark making NPCs do these unreasonable things is to hint at something...

The Death Elementary School Student turned his head, his gaze lingering on Sheriff Lestrade's face. Combining the intelligence he had collected before, he did not hesitate to look for an opportunity to break the current deadlock from this girl.

"Ms. Lestrade, you're not actually a chief inspector of Scotland Yard, are you? You're just... a police officer, right?"

Conan's words surprised the girl who called herself Sheriff Lestrade, but the real surprise was yet to come.

"The reason why you took the initiative to check on this apparently dead gentleman, and risked being punished by the leading sheriff... is because you know him, right?"

The Death Schoolboy pushed up his glasses, his eyes locked on Sheriff Lestrade's face.

When the word "know" was mentioned, Conan noticed that the other party's eyes seemed to be distracted for a moment.
