He's in Detective Conan, but a Triumph Attorney.

...Do you think I'm here to check your household registration? You're asking me this? Do I know everything?

Fūya Rei's expression became serious, he almost wanted to scold Genkou for his lazy behavior, but in the end he nodded. Yes, he did investigate this aspect, so he answered calmly.

"It's not three beta testers, it's four. Two of them can't be contacted by phone, one can't be contacted at all, and currently only one of them can be contacted."

"The beta tester of the Dakar Rally scenario, the player with the fastest reaction speed, Kazuto Kiriya."

Chapter 524 Dangerous Zombie Player?

Although reluctantly, for now, the Old London player squad has been split into three groups.

They are Conan and Haibara Ai's team who are with Hoshino Reito, the Junior Detective Team and Mouri Ran's team, and the famous boy team led by Moroboshi Hideki.

The reason why Conan asked Ran Mouri and the Junior Detective League not to get close to him and Haibara Ai was naturally to prevent them from being killed by possible assassins. After all, he and Haibara Ai had been seen by the citizens of Old London.

If the police investigate the scene and find that the two of them are missing, they will definitely investigate based on the appearance characteristics mentioned by the citizens. The assassin will then realize that Housheng Reito has companions and will launch a new round of assassinations.

At that time, Conan, Haibara Ai, the Junior Detective League and Mouri Ran who are acting together will probably become targets of the assassin, so it is necessary to act in teams, not to mention that he still has to continue investigating the matter of Hokage Reito.

Conan stood there watching Mouri Ran and the members of the Junior Detective League leave. He pushed his glasses and took out the detective medal. He didn't expect that this technological product that was obviously incompatible with the times could still be used.

This is actually not good news for him, because the technological products developed by Dr. Agasa can be used in the virtual world, which means that Noah's Ark has scanned these technological props, and therefore new conclusions can be further drawn.

That is... Noah's Ark has noticed the differences between the members of the Junior Detective Team and normal young men from noble families, and will probably pay special attention to him because he has more technological products on him!

(If this aspect is also taken into consideration, then I was the first one to come to Reito Hosou, bandage his wound, and hear his last message...)

A white light flashed across Conan's plain glasses.

(Is this also what Noah's Ark expected? If so, then Noah's Ark probably knows me very well, otherwise he would not have arranged such a plot development...)

(Noah's Ark, a strong artificial intelligence that has never appeared in human history... Where is the limit of your computing power?)

...Why did Conan's plain glasses flash white light for no apparent reason? Is this also a high-tech trick?

Haibara Ai, who was squatting down to check on Housheng Reito, raised her head. She glanced at the Death God Elementary School Student and decided not to delve into the fact that the glasses could glow. Anyway, whether they glowed or not would not affect anything specific.

Ever since she saw Xiang Yuanguang's wind magic, her resistance to this inexplicably unfolding world has gradually increased. A small matter like her glasses glowing is no longer surprising.

Haibara Ai lowered her head. She didn't care about the blood on Reito Hoshino's body. She just put her hand on the nose of Reito Hoshino, then raised her eyebrows and discovered something strange about the other person.

If a normal person is shot and loses a lot of blood, it would be difficult for him to survive without immediate treatment, even with simple hemostasis. How come Reito Baosheng kept bleeding for so long and remained in a dying state?

"…What is this? A dangerous zombie player?"

Medical researchers murmured about this unbelievable scene that went against the rules of reality, and they finally understood why Reito Hosho was being targeted.

This is an abstract behavior of shouting "Watch me complete the level with one life" in front of the game administrator and then turning on the health lock for yourself. It is understandable that you are killed by the game administrator at the beginning of the game and then given a negative buff that makes you unable to move.

A police whistle was heard, followed by noisy footsteps.

Haibara Ai looked up at the direction where the sound came from, and sure enough, several police officers dressed in late 19th century style were running towards this side, and there was even a blonde female police officer among them.

This made her squint her eyes, and she wondered if there was any trouble with Vermouth in the cocoon game, but after realizing that the organization had been completely silent and it was most likely unrelated to the Sindor Corporation, she withdrew her thoughts.

"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."
