In the old London game scene, in the poker club, Conan looked at his companions falling down one after another, and his face showed an unsightly expression.

Colonel Moran and his subordinates have guns in their hands. No matter how powerful Xiaolan is, in this situation, it is estimated that he will be trapped in a tough battle in no time.

He had noticed before that there was an empty seat next to the table where Colonel Moran and his companions were sitting. There was high-end red wine and glasses on the table, and even the chairs were high-end products with decorative carvings.

With just one glance, Conan determined that the empty seat was prepared for Professor Moriarty.

So when Conan saw a gangster carefully holding a bottle of red wine in the crowd, an idea immediately came to his mind, and taking advantage of the chaos of the fight, he successfully snatched the bottle of red wine.

However, just when Conan grabbed the red wine and was about to threaten to smash the wine to force Colonel Moran and the others to stop, in order to protect Xiaolan, she was accidentally knocked down from behind by Moran and the gun was pressed against the back of her head.

"Kid, if you dare to do anything rash again, I will shoot this chick in the head."

Seeing that the red wine originally prepared for Professor Moriarty was taken away by Conan, Colonel Moran glared at his useless subordinate, pointed his gun at the back of Xiaolan's head, and threatened Conan.

"It's located in a good position, with a specially decorated chair and carefully prepared red wine. If I'm not mistaken, the red wine in my hand should be the one you specially prepared for the professor, right?

If Professor Moriarty knew that the wine he was about to enjoy was broken because of your negligence, what would be his reaction? "

Hearing Conan's threatening words, Colonel Moran's face became extremely angry and ugly.

However, as one of the gang leaders, even if he was worried that Professor Moriarty would be angry, he would never let a mere kid who hadn't even grown all his hair lead him by the nose.

"Don't try to threaten me, kid. The red wine was indeed prepared for Professor Moriarty.

But you are Holmes's men. If we catch you all this time, I believe the professor will not blame us too much if this is considered a credit.

Besides, there is plenty of red wine in London, so it is not difficult to find a substitute as long as you have some time.

But I just don’t know if I can find a replacement for the life of this woman in my hands.”

Hearing Colonel Moran's words, Conan frowned tightly, because the development of things was completely beyond his expectations.

If Xiaolan had not fallen into the hands of the other party, the red wine in his hand might have been enough to make Colonel Moran hesitate.

But now he may have something that Colonel Moran cares about very much, but he cares about Xiaolan in the other party's hand even more!

To put it simply, the bargaining chips he now has are no longer enough to support his negotiations with Colonel Moran.

"Little devil, I'll give you a chance. Just hand over the wine in your hand to us and I'll let this woman go.

As for whether you can walk out of here alive, it depends on your own abilities."

Hearing what Colonel Moran said with a grim smile, Conan's expression became hesitant.

He didn't want Xiaolan to leave here, not only because of personal feelings, but also because he took into consideration that after they found out the true identity of Jack the Ripper, Xiaolan's fighting power would be indispensable if they wanted to arrest or defeat him.

Seiya may be very powerful, but he is just a child after all, so Conan cannot place all his bets on him.

And even if they used red wine to temporarily exchange for Xiaolan, could the few people left of them escape from the ensuing hail of bullets?

"Kid, have you thought it through? I'll only give you ten seconds. If you still can't make a decision, then say goodbye to this girl.

10, 9, 8...5, 4, 3..."

"Wait... X2"

Just when Conan, after thinking for a long time, made the final decision and just opened his mouth, a voice suddenly came from the door and was directly synchronized with his voice.

"If Professor Moriarty's wine is not enough as a bargaining chip, then I wonder if adding him himself will be enough to make you let us go?"

The person who just spoke in unison with Conan was undoubtedly Seiya who was originally keeping watch outside.

When they saw several figures pushing the door open at this moment, everyone present was dumbfounded.

There was no way out, not to be dumbfounded, because at this moment, Seiya did not come in alone, but was "carried" in by someone.

Or to be more precise, at this moment, Seiya's short body was completely leaning on the back of an old man, one hand hooked on the other's neck, and the other hand held a cold fruit knife against the other's neck.

What surprised Conan and the others was that Seiya, who was originally watching outside, suddenly came in to save the situation.

What surprised Colonel Moran and his men was that Professor Moriarty, the second most dangerous man in London, had fallen into the hands of a child whose hair had not even grown fully, and was even being held hostage at knifepoint!

"So, this old man is really the professor you mentioned before, who is known as the second most dangerous person in London?"

Although Sonoko is not smart, he is not really stupid. Just look at Colonel Moran, who was so arrogant before, and his younger brothers, who now dare not act rashly. He naturally understands that Seiya has caught the right person.

You know, they were waiting outside before, and when they realized that a fight had broken out in the club, and a group of carriages were slowly walking towards this side, Seiya formulated this strategy to her.

Colonel Moran and his men have guns, so even if the two of them go in to help, they will only end up giving the other side two more heads.

When Seiya thought of the scene in the plot where Conan used red wine to threaten Colonel Moran, a bolder idea suddenly popped up in his mind.

A bottle of red wine from Professor Moriarty can make Colonel Moran hesitate, so if he captures the professor directly, wouldn't it be equivalent to capturing the entire London gangland force directly?

So when Professor Moriarty's carriage just arrived near the club, Seiya chose to take action directly.

Sonoko pretended to be a passerby who was tripped, so that the other party's carriage stopped. At the same time the carriage stopped, Seiya jumped onto the carriage at lightning speed, and based on the smell of the cologne, he directly used a fruit knife found in Holmes's house to put it on the neck of the coachman.

When she saw Seiya succeed, Sonoko was originally confused as to why her brother would take a coachman as a hostage instead of "Professor Moriarty" in the carriage. But when she saw the current situation, she instantly understood. It turned out that the one in the carriage was the fake!
