The Split-Actress in Conan's World

"The game is over, kids!" Colonel Moran pointed the revolver in his hand at Conan, with smoke coming out of it.

Light effects appeared on the short and fat boy of the Spiny Boys Gang.

"Zhu Xing, you have to win!" They disappeared into the air unwillingly.

Yuantai pressed his heart painfully, and after a while, he opened his eyes.

"Eh, it doesn't seem to hurt?" He laughed foolishly, then disappeared on the spot.

"This is too sloppy! I haven't had enough fun yet?!" Suzuki Sonoko complained, and reluctantly hugged Mouri Ran's arm wanting to stay, but she couldn't resist the mechanism of the game and was cruelly eliminated.

Four more people were shot and eliminated at once, and the atmosphere became strangely frozen.

The original team of twelve people was reduced to only five people.

Hideki Moroboshi, Conan, Haibara Ai and Mouri Ran were surrounded by the remaining waiters. Colonel Moran looked at the revolver in his hand for a while, and narrowed his eyes when he saw the word "S·H" engraved on the gun body.

"Sherlock Holmes..."

"So you were sent by him."

Colonel Moran laughed cruelly. "It seems I have to pay him a visit some other day to thank him properly."

How to do!

Conan was anxious, with big beads of sweat oozing from his forehead as he thought about countermeasures.

There should only be one bullet left in his gun, so he wouldn't shoot easily.

To deal with the only remaining waiter...

But under the threat of the gun, it was impossible to let go and fight with them!

Just as he was struggling with his inner struggle, Chiyoko, who had been dormant from the beginning and quietly sneaked behind Colonel Moran, suddenly jumped up and attacked Colonel Moran, who had his back to him, with a long-accumulated elbow strike, while shouting: "Conan!"

"liquor!"

Everything happened in a flash, and he only had time to utter a short word, but Conan instantly understood what he meant.

"Ahhh!" Colonel Moran was hit hard on the back and the revolver in his hand fell to the ground.

Conan immediately jumped up, slid under the crotch of the waiter in front of him, and broke through the encirclement.

He clearly aimed at the person hiding behind and protecting the red wine!

It all happened so quickly that the man had no time to react and the wine in his hand was snatched away by Conan.

He was suddenly horrified.

After successfully hitting the target, Chiyoko stepped back and hid, without trying to pick up the gun.

That would leave him completely exposed to Colonel Moran and make him easy to be killed.

Colonel Moran covered his neck in pain, pointed his gun at Conan again, his eyes gloomy.

However, Conan was not panicked at all and held the bottle in his hand high.

"If you shoot, the bottle of wine will be broken."

"What do you mean?" Colonel Moran's eyes flickered a few times and his voice was low.

"That empty table was specially set up, and a white cloth was laid on the table. Is it because a big shot you respect very much will be coming soon?"

Conan chuckled confidently, "Also, your men were the first to protect this bottle of wine after the chaos, which shows that it is very important to you."

"I would like to make a bold guess that the person who is about to come here should be Professor Moriarty, right?"

Colonel Moran did not answer, but his index finger on the trigger did not move.

"Unfortunately, your reasoning is wrong." He was silent for a long time and said coldly.

"Then just shoot," Conan became more and more certain that he was right, revealing a look of relief, "If the professor's red wine is broken, it doesn't matter."

Colonel Moran's expression became increasingly grim.

Just when the situation was at a stalemate, the sound of clear wind chimes came from the door, and a well-dressed figure pushed open the door.

He lowered his head slightly, and the light was blocked by the brim of his hat, so that half of his face was hidden in the shadow and his expression could not be seen clearly.

Everyone's breathing suddenly stopped.

The visitor didn't say anything, but walked in and pulled the door edge to keep it open.

He bent down slightly, as if waiting, with his hands naturally stretched out in front of him, as if ready to catch something.

Everyone looked past him and saw the person walking slowly behind him.

Professor Lecter handed his cane to the coachman waiting on the side, glanced at everyone calmly, and walked up to Conan.

"It's a little more lively here than I remember."

He took the bottle of wine from Conan effortlessly, then walked to Colonel Moran and tapped the bottle mouth against the muzzle of the revolver he was holding tightly.

Open it easily.

The club was eerily quiet, with only the faint sound of water flowing as he poured wine into the glass.

Colonel Moran was quiet because he didn't dare to speak.

As for Conan, they were stunned.

"professor?!"

It was not until Professor Lecter calmly picked up the wine glass and began to taste it that Conan spoke in surprise.

Could anyone tell him why Moriarty used the image of the professor?

Dad also knows the professor?

"Mr. Moran, can you explain what happened here?" Professor Lecter shook the goblet in his hand, and the deep eyes behind the gold-rimmed glasses looked calmly at the nervous Colonel Moran.

Colonel Moran's lips trembled and cold sweat wet his hair.

He tried to keep his voice as low as possible so as not to disturb the professor's interest in wine tasting, and simply explained: "Holmes's men suddenly broke in and disrupted the arrangements prepared for you..."

Professor Lecter nodded after listening, then turned to look at Conan and the others, and said in a gentle tone: "Is that so?"

Although there was no hint of accusation in his words, Conan didn't think he would be in a good mood.

How to answer this question?

Before he could think of a suitable response, Mao Lilan spoke up: "We hope to find you through Colonel Moran, Professor."

"Holmes's research says that Jack the Ripper is related to you. We are looking for you in order to catch him!"

Conan's heart skipped a beat at these words.

"That's a shame."

Professor Lecter held out his hand, and the monkey came over meekly, nudging his hand with its head in a flattering manner.

"I should perhaps be happier if Holmes himself came."

Although he didn't know why Professor Moriarty looked like this, at least it didn't seem out of place. Conan suppressed the slightly weird feeling and focused his attention back on the game.

"You released Jack the Ripper to terrorize London, didn't you?"

"Obviously, you have some prejudice against me, so you have a one-sided view." Professor Lecter looked at the bold boy and was not angry about it.

"Little Jack was originally a street kid I picked up in the slums. Although he was abandoned by his mother and wandered the streets, I could see the talent in him."

“Talent as a criminal.”

"With just a little training, he became a good enough killer."

Mao Lilan frowned and asked: "Why kill innocent women?"

Professor Lecter shook his head: "In fact, I never gave him any relevant orders."

"He's slowly losing control."

"It's like a horse pulling a cart that gradually loses its stability and becomes anxious, and starts to move around without knowing the direction."

"I see." Mao Lilan seemed to understand but not quite.

"If you want to deal with him, I can provide a little help. It just so happens that I haven't played games with Holmes for a long time."

"Although he is on the verge of losing control, he will still obey my orders to some extent." Professor Lecter glanced meaningfully at Colonel Moran, who had not dared to speak since the beginning, and continued.

"I will have someone publish the assassination order in tomorrow's Times. All you have to do is wait in advance at the place where you want to act, and you will see him fall into the trap."

Conan asked hurriedly: "Who do you want him to kill?"

"You'll know when you read tomorrow's newspaper." Professor Lecter was exhausted and handed the remaining wine to the monkey. The monkey first dipped its hand in the wine tentatively and put it in its mouth. After tasting the sweetness, its eyes widened and it picked up the bottle and drank from it in big gulps.

"Please pay attention to the Reichenbach Falls in three years!" Seeing that the professor was about to leave, Conan couldn't help but reminded him as he passed by.

"......interesting."

Professor Lecter paused and smiled faintly at Conan.

He took the stick from the driver and prepared to leave.

Colonel Moran finally couldn't hold it in any longer and shouted hurriedly: "Professor!"

Professor Lecter turned around and said expressionlessly: "I am not very satisfied with today's wine."

Colonel Moran's heart skipped a beat.

"I look forward to the next time you can surprise me."

The professor's second half of the sentence made him feel relieved, and his mood turned from gloomy to cheerful.

The carriage drove away slowly.

"Okay, you little brats, get out of here!"

As soon as the professor left, Colonel Moran began to drive people away in a bad tone.

Walking out of the club, Hideki Moroboshi asked in confusion: "What is Reichenbach?"

"It's a big waterfall in Switzerland," Mao Lilan searched for memories, "It seems to be the place where Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty had a duel."

"In the end, both of them fell into the waterfall."

"Holmes miraculously survived, but Moriarty fell asleep there forever."

Chiyoko poked Conan on the back, and Conan turned around to see him with a hard face: "Spoiler for Moriarty...Have you ever considered Holmes' feelings?"

Conan laughed awkwardly: "I can't help it, I just said it unconsciously."

"After all, my liking for this villain isn't much less than my liking for Sherlock Holmes."

After hearing what Mouri Ran said, Hideki Moroboshi pondered for a long time and called Conan hesitantly.

"Hey, the one with glasses."

He looked conflicted and somewhat pitiful.

"I think I should apologize to you."

"It's all because of me that the others were eliminated."

Conan smiled with some relief and said, "It's past now, there's no point in regretting it."

Huiyuan Ai came over and said, "The fact that you can think like this now is already a big step forward."

"What's important is what we should do next!" Mao Lilan smiled and encouraged everyone, "For everyone, let's work hard together!"

"Yes!" Hideki Moroboshi responded firmly.
