Chapter 252 Didn't you hear me? Contact Inspector Lestrade!
"Yes, although the antenna of this eye can extend and retract, it is just an ordinary eye, which is equivalent to an ordinary watch."
After fiddling with his watch and glasses, Conan spoke.
"However, my original combat strength doesn't seem to be affected by this world."
Asakawa Yu clenched his fist, feeling the power within him that was no different from that in the real world, and then spoke.
"Oh? So, in other words, we can only rely on someone now, right?"
Ai Haibara blinked, looking at Yu Asakawa with a slightly amused tone.
Asakawa Yu shrugged. "I think that since it's a game, Mr. Kudo probably won't design too many exciting scenes, but if there are, I won't be afraid."
Although Asakawa Yu knew that he probably wouldn't be able to demonstrate his full strength here, since Noah's Ark was currently mixed in with them.
If he disrupts the game's balance and makes him unhappy, Asakawa Yu can't say what he might do next.
"Heh, I hope that's the case." Ai Haibara shook her head and sighed almost imperceptibly.
"Boss, shall we go check on the woman who was just attacked?"
Mingmei stood beside him and spoke up to remind him.
Now all they have to do is complete the game, and when it comes to completing any game, catching Jack the Ripper is an unavoidable issue.
It would be wise to suggest going to see the site now.
"Yes, you're right. Let's go take a look first."
Asakawa Yu expressed her support for Akemi's idea, but after they had only taken a few steps, a shout came from the scene.
"Jack the Ripper is back!"
It turned out that at the crime scene, a passing patrolman discovered the female corpse lying on the ground and started shouting to attract the attention of those around him.
However, the only drawback was that the policeman spoke English, not Japanese, so apart from Asakawa Yu and Conan, the rest of the children present couldn't understand him at all.
What are they saying?
"I don't understand."
But as more and more people gathered around, Asakawa Yu had no choice but to lead a few people away from there and hide in a nearby alley.
As the surrounding crowd gathered, the police officers, who arrived late, headed directly to the center of the scene.
"Get out of the way!"
As they dispersed the crowd, they observed the gruesome state of the corpses.
After watching for a while, one of the police officers turned around nervously and looked at his colleague.
"Hey! Contact Inspector Lestrade immediately!"
"Yes!"
This seemingly insignificant remark was overheard by Conan and his friends who were hiding nearby.
In an instant, Conan began to think, his thoughts racing.
…………
"Seriously, they told us to find the murderer, but this place is so big, where are we supposed to look?"
On a bridge, Conan and his friends stood, unsure of what to do next.
Seeing the children complaining, Asakawa Yu leaned against the bridge, slowly opened her eyes, and glanced at them.
"Don't be too anxious. Since the game is designed this way, it means there must be a way. Use your brains and think about it."
After being reprimanded by Asakawa Yu, the group immediately fell silent, but it was clear that there were still one or two people who disliked him.
"That sounds nice, but as an adult, why don't you hurry up and find the murderer so we can go back?" the chubby boy, whose grandfather was a banker, said indignantly.
Seeing that he dared to say that, Asakawa Yu was so angry that he laughed.
But he wasn't about to get angry with these kids; he just gave them a cold glance.
"Oh? You mean I'm not putting in any effort? That's really interesting."
"Boss, you..."
Akemi felt that starting a conflict within the team at this time was obviously not a good thing to do, so she wanted to persuade Asakawa Yu, but Asakawa Yu stopped her.
"I am well aware of our situation, so you can rest assured and just watch, okay?"
There was nothing Mingmei could do; since her boyfriend had said so, she naturally had no reason to stop him.
"Okay, let me give you a hint first. Those police officers were talking about Inspector Lestrade, right?"
"Hmm, so what?" The children still didn't understand. What could you possibly deduce from just a person's name?
"Conan, now that I've said this, you should know, right?" Asakawa Yu didn't explain directly, but instead turned her gaze to Conan.
"Of course." Conan smiled confidently. He knew that Asakawa Yu must also know what he knew, which was why he asked him that question.
"Inspector Lestrade? Is that the Inspector Lestrade from the story?" At this moment, Xiaolan, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly spoke up.
But because it was too outrageous, Xiaolan immediately added, "But that's a character that only appears in stories!"
At this moment, Ai Haibara seemed to realize something as well, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "It's possible that this is a world where reality and fiction are mixed together."
As for Akemi, who had read some Conan Doyle novels before, she roughly guessed what Asakawa Yu meant.
She slowly began to speak, "So, the role you mentioned that can help us, boss, is..."
"Yes, that's the man, the one known as the great detective—Sherlock Holmes."
[Awesome! If we just brought Watson and Holmes, wouldn't we just beat the game instantly?]
[That's hilarious! If it were that easy, what would be the point of playing?]
Yes, I also think it can't be that simple.
Just as everyone was happy that they could ask Holmes for help, a voice that everyone was very familiar with suddenly came from the sky.
"Can you hear me, Conan? It's me, Agasa!"
Conan was taken aback for a moment, then instantly realized what was happening.
"I can hear you, Doctor!"
Hearing the doctor's voice, Asakawa Yu secretly glanced at Moroboshi Hideki again, only to see his expression change for a moment, but then quickly disappear.
It really knows how to hide... Noah's Ark.
"Listen up, in this level, being injured or captured by the enemy means you're out. Your current position is..."
The doctor began giving everyone hints, but when he got to the location of the character who could help them, his voice suddenly turned into a jumble of static.
Asakawa Yu knew that Noah's Ark was beginning to exert its power.
This game has only just begun, and it's impossible to let anyone ruin it...
