The Split-Actress in Conan's World

Chapter 82 The Phantom of Baker Street 5

Charlie Cross Station.

A train loaded with Green Estate red wine started moving slowly, with gray-black steam coming out from the locomotive and dispersing in the fog.

Jack the Ripper grabbed the car door and jumped into the car with one light leap.

The few people following closely behind him also put in their best efforts and climbed onto the carriage one after another before the train completely left the platform.

By the time they had gained control of the car, Jack the Ripper had disappeared.

The few people did not dare to act rashly on this speeding train. They walked cautiously along the aisle and came to the carriage where the passengers were.

They told the train attendant in the carriage the general situation.

"What?! You said Jack the Ripper was disguised and mixed in with the passengers?"

"Yes, please gather all the passengers." Mao Lilan looked serious.

The attendant was a little embarrassed: "But the passengers on this train are all important people with extraordinary identities..."

"Jack the Ripper is right next to them. Just tell them the truth and they will make a choice." Chiyoko knew that this guy was just afraid of taking responsibility, so she coldly lowered the demand and did not ask him to forcibly gather the passengers.

"Okay, alright." The flight attendant turned and left reluctantly.

After a while, all the passengers gathered together.

"Now please raise your hands to prove that you don't have any weapons."

The passengers did as they were told.

"Now let me relay the content of the information written by Mr. Holmes." Conan stood among everyone with a solemn expression.

"Jack the Ripper, who was here, married his second victim, Honey Charles, in a town called Windsor."

"However, because her heart was full of dreams, she abandoned her husband and children and went to London ten years ago."

He took out the photo from Holmes's notebook from his pocket, and on it were two rings, one large and one small.

"These two rings were found at the murder scene of Honey Charles. One of them belonged to Honey, while the other one, although with the same pattern and style, did not fit the size of any of her fingers."

"Holmes reasoned: 'These two rings are likely to be symbols of the parent-child relationship between the victim Honey and Jack the Ripper.'"

"Do you mean to say that this little ring belongs to Jack the Ripper?" Hideki Moroboshi pointed at the photo and made a joke in a very polite manner.

"That's right, Honey left this ring to her child and ran away from home." Conan nodded.

"So, Jack the Ripper killed his own mother?" Mao Lilan asked in surprise.

"Well, the data shows that Honey Charles was murdered on September 9, which happened to be the second Saturday of the month. The church in the Whitechapel area was holding a monthly parent-child charity sale. I think Jack the Ripper probably knew about this, so he chose to kill her on that day."

"So Jack the Ripper actually wanted to participate in parent-child activities with his mother, so he left the ring at the scene, right?" Hideki Moroboshi looked at the photo, not knowing what he was thinking.

Conan neither nodded nor shook his head: "Probably."

"Then his motive for killing actually comes from his resentment towards the mother who abandoned him...it must be a murderous intent mixed with love and hate." Mao Lilan closed her eyes slightly, with a sad expression.

"It's really sad."

"I have a different opinion." Chiyoko felt in her pocket, trying to find something to eat, but found nothing.

He gave up with regret, and then said: "Over the past ten years, his feelings towards his mother have probably changed from love to confusion and incomprehension, and then to pure hatred. In the end, everything dissipated in time and became indifferent."

"Rather than a murderous intent that was a mixture of love and hate, it was more of a revengeful mentality that came from a lack of security."

"He was just afraid of the feeling of being abandoned, so in order not to be abandoned by the professor, he showed off his talents wantonly; in order not to be forgotten by the public, he chose such a brutal way of killing."

His eyes were fixed on the innocent-looking noble lady in the corner.

"If he had been wearing a ring of this size since childhood, I think his fingers would have stopped growing and become deformed." Conan followed his gaze and saw that the noble lady raised her hands. The little finger of her right hand was obviously thinner than that of her left hand.

"Jack the Ripper is you!" He stretched out his hand and pointed directly at the man, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

Chiyoko narrowed her eyes and said, "Who would have thought that Jack the Ripper, who caused panic in London, was just a woman of 18 or 19 years old?"

The noble lady sitting in the corner smiled slightly, a fierce light flashed in her eyes, and she stood up from her seat.

She quickly pushed aside the crowd blocking the way, leaned out of the car window, nimbly stepped on the window sill, flipped over, and climbed onto the roof.

"I'm on it!" Mao Lilan shouted, chased after him, and also climbed onto the roof of the car in a few seconds.

"No!" Conan hurriedly spoke out to stop it. If Jack the Ripper was hiding up there, Xiaolan would easily be at a disadvantage if she rashly jumped out!

But Mao Lilan suddenly rushed out and he had no time to stop her.

"It's broken!" Conan gritted his teeth, turned around and opened the door of the carriage, "Let's climb up from the connecting port of the carriage!"

"Those passengers just now suddenly disappeared." Chiyoko reminded solemnly.

"Maybe it's the game mechanics. Let's go and help Xiaolan!" Conan said casually, climbing up the ladder and popping his head out on the roof of the car.

However, as soon as he climbed up, he saw Mao Lilan lying on the ground, and Jack the Ripper was using a knife to cut open the hem of his skirt and using it as a rope to tie Mao Lilan's hands and feet.

"orchid!"

"Don't act rashly, kids." Jack the Ripper finally stopped using that androgynous hoarse voice and returned to his clear girlish voice. He lifted his long red hair that fluttered as the train ran, and spoke in a sarcastic tone.

"This lady is tied to me now. If I fall, she will die too."

She pulled out a forearm-long blade from under her skirt and approached Conan and the other two calmly step by step.

"Don't struggle. It will only take a moment. It won't hurt soon."

Conan stared at him intently, like a cheetah staring at its prey.

"What on earth do you want! Jack the Ripper!"

"You killed your own mother and made all of London fear the name!"

"What I want..." Jack the Ripper laughed crazily, his handsome face full of joy, "I want to live!"

"I want more people to engrave me deeply in their hearts and never forget me!"

"I want to let my dirty and ugly soul board Noah's Ark and arrive in a new world!"

"How ridiculous." Chiyoko sneered.

"Even after only a hundred years, people in the world only know that there is a killer named Jack the Ripper, but when it comes to the truth about him, they only know a little bit."

"No one knows that you are Honey's child. No one knows that you are a small town girl in your twenties. You have become a pathetic accomplice of this code name. 'Jack the Ripper' is the 'cocoon' that you have bound yourself in!"

"Your pathetic and ugly soul has long been lost in the great flood that destroyed the world. It will never reach the new world!"

"Damn brat!" Jack the Ripper had a ferocious look on his face and rushed forward with a knife, wanting to teach Chiyoko a lesson.

However, he dodged it flexibly.

She was about to press on with her victory, but she saw Chiyoko stop dodging and waved at her with a mocking smile: "Goodbye."

Her heart sank and an ominous premonition began to grow.

Feeling something pulling her waist, she turned back suddenly, only to see Mao Lilan jumping into the abyss.

"Damn it!" She reacted quickly and swung her knife to cut the rope, but it was too late and she was pulled off the cliff by the strong force.

"If it is certain that I can destroy you, I will gladly accept death in the public interest."

Before Mao Lilan fell into the abyss, Kudo Shinichi's words echoed in her mind.

Looking at Jack the Ripper struggling not far above, she closed her eyes peacefully.

......

Looking at Jack the Ripper falling into the abyss in the picture, Jiancun Zhongbin's eyes were blurred, and he murmured like a deaf ear: "Do you know?"

"The soul of Jack the Ripper really came to this century on Noah's Ark."

"Before developing Noah's Ark, Hiroki developed a program called a DNA tracking system that can trace a person's ancestry by testing his blood."

"The 'secret about blood' mentioned on that piece of paper actually refers to the blood of Sindorah."

"He is a descendant of Jack the Ripper."

"He came to this studio and wanted me to expose the underlying code of Noah's Ark under the pretext of inspection. Do you think he is so naive? He even wanted to solve the problem with both of us at the same time."

Kenmura Tadaki smiled.

"I obeyed him, pretended not to see the knife in his hand, opened a program, made room for him, and he couldn't wait to sit on it."

"It was a kind of light color frequency conversion obtained by the 'Cocoon' algorithm, which could quickly put him into a hypnotic state. Coupled with the large sound system in this studio, he fell into the trap easily."

"The hypnosis program is in this computer. I know the plan of Noah's Ark. You will never risk the death of those 50 children by rashly investigating this crucial computer, so I chose to use it to commit the crime."

"As long as you don't check, I'll have time to delete the program."

"Unfortunately, it still couldn't escape the eyes of the two detectives."

Lin Chiyu walked to the big screen and said softly, "Mr. Jiancun, have you ever thought about asking Noah's Ark to help you delete that program?"

"If you do that, there's really nothing we can do."

Jiancun Zhongbin stretched out his hand and took the initiative to move towards the handcuffs of the police officer. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "In the Bible, Noah's Ark is a boat of hope that saves the survivors. How can we board it without experiencing the ups and downs of the flood?"

His voice was interrupted for a long time, and then he sighed deeply and smiled bitterly: "After all, I am not Noah."

When he was about to be taken away by Inspector Megure and his men, he suddenly stopped and said meaningfully to Kudo Yusaku and Rin Shakuha: "By the way, two great detectives."

"Actually, that piece of letter was not written by me."

"In fact, up until three days ago, my investigation had still reached a bottleneck, and I had not advanced much beyond Mr. Yusaku."

"On limited notice, I can only tell you..."

"We will never know each other."

He was completely taken away from the basement, leaving only the two of them in deep thought.
