"We are not locals. Didn't you say the word 'Narbutang'? Dad is indeed Naruhodang lawyer, and his identity is the same as Naruhodang Ryunosuke-sama."
"As for my identity, according to the game, I am a functional plot character. Well... my purpose is to help you pass the game. Don't be too careful, Mr. Death."
"I still remember that you and that black detective chased dad for ten blocks in the rain!"...What the hell is this? How could I do such a thing?
Is it to persuade Hattori Heiji? Why is he acting together with Hattori Heiji? That guy has obviously returned to Osaka!
Having said that, Conan turned around and didn't intend to say any more words to Naruhodō Mitsuki.
All in all, these two may really be the plot characters arranged by Noah's Ark to help players pass.
And there is a high probability that he is a character who was suddenly added to the plot, so that even the background setting is not complete.
He has to hurry and deal with the new prosecutor [Hao], and has no time to waste here.
Tick, tick, tick.
The Grim Reaper Elementary School Student was about to leave, moving his legs which were somewhat numb from the electric shock from his sneakers.
But the magician girl still refreshed beside him, and she said in a mysterious way.
"I'll tell you a secret. This secret is only known to me and my dad..."
"Secret? What secret? Is it about Moriarty's true identity? I already know it."
Conan glanced at the magician girl next to him and said with certainty.
This answer was beyond Naruhodō's expectations. Even the legendary lawyer Naruhodō Ryuichi, who had just left Scotland Yard, might not be able to predict the progress of Conan's investigation.
Just before that, the game's main control room successfully broke through the firewall of Noah's Ark and formed a one-way communication channel with him in the Cocoon game. His father Yusaku Kudo told him all the plots of the internal test and the original script.
Therefore, whether it is the default identity of Jack the Ripper in the script or the difference between the old London during the public beta test and the old London during the internal beta test, Conan already knows it clearly.
It can even be said that with the help of this information, and by comparing it with the testimony about Asogi Yoshikazu conveyed by the Junior Detective League, he has even figured out the true identity of Professor Moriarty.
"Unless you can tell me where Professor Moriarty is hiding, or where Sherlock Holmes is, or where Jack the Ripper is hiding, or how to find Jack the Ripper—"
"Don't ask me anything else because I'm in a hurry now."
The Death God Elementary School Student walked in front, and the Magician Girl stood behind.
After he walked some distance further, he heard the words of the magician girl.
"Wait! Kudo Shinichi!"
Before a bizarre dance could occur, Conan turned around and interrupted the spell.
He saw the magician girl holding a newspaper in her hand. The headline of the newspaper was...
[The Reichenbach Building, the tallest building in old London, was completed today. ]
"...Reichenbach...building?"
Conan's pupils shrank slightly, and he turned his head to look at the new landmark building in the distance.
So... the so-called Reichenbach Falls actually appears in this form?
Chapter 556 Alice Watson Awakens
——————Old London, Scotland Yard Police Station——-———
——————Time, late night——————
“Ahhhh, I have absolutely no clue—”
"Damn it, why does Scotland Yard have so few records of its investigation into Jack the Ripper?"
While rummaging through the investigation records on the table, Naruhodō Ryunosuke said somewhat collapsed.
These investigation records are simply a literary boondoggle! How can anyone still doubt that Jack the Ripper was a little girl under the age of twelve who often selected women to kill in the fog?
Did Scotland Yard completely turn into a wage thief organization after Chief Inspector Gregson left? But the investigation records of other cases are much more complete than before!
"Is this Director Yan Tu deliberately slowing down the progress of the investigation into Jack the Ripper?!"
Upon hearing Naruhodō Ryunosuke's outrageous remarks, Shousa, who was standing next to him, covered her mouth in shock.
This matter is quite serious. With Scotland Yard standing on the opposite side, it is extremely difficult for lawyers to obtain new investigation results on this basis!
What's more, the trial is about to start, and the defense has little time left to investigate!
"...Mr. Naruhodō, actually, what I want to say is... Is it possible that it's not Director General Yan who is keeping up with the schedule... but that, except for the Jack the Ripper case, all the cases were handled by Director General Yan himself?"
Mao Lilan whispered beside her.
Although it was the first time she met Officer Gina Lestrade, after listening to Haibara Ai and Conan talking about their experiences on the road in the cafe, she still had some understanding of the situation of the police officers at the crime scene.
The sheriff in charge of investigating Jack the Ripper at the time was just a common face with no role to play, and even the main police officer in the case could be regarded as the unreliable Officer Gina. Isn't it normal that the investigation was progressing slowly?
“…That seems to make sense.”
The barrister blinked, but it didn't seem to matter.
Now Director Yan Tu does not allow them to meet Gina. It is said that it is because they have a good relationship. In order to prevent collusion between each other, such precautions are taken.
However, if Gina cannot be seen, there will be no way to understand the situation at the crime scene of Dr. Reito Hosho. Doesn't this mean there is no clue at all for the investigation?
At this time, the Junior Detective Team and others couldn't help but miss the time when Conan and Haibara Ai, the two brains of the Junior Detective Team, were still there. Although their degree of suicidal tendencies had not decreased much, the puzzles could be solved very quickly.
But now Huiyuan Ai has already left the scene because of the bomb, and Conan has not seen her since leaving the cafe, and only maintains remote communication with them...
"Oh, if only Conan was here at this time, this is so troublesome."
Genta held the back of his head with his hands and sighed. He missed Conan and the eel rice at home.
"If Haibara-san hadn't been eliminated, she might have found a way out by now..."
Ayumi also whispered, looking a little depressed.
When the former class referees, the Junior Detective Team, appeared as the defense team, they were accompanied by both the Tokyo great detective Kogoro Mouri and the Tokyo great lawyer Genmitsu Mukai, so they were very confident.
But now, they no longer have such detectives around them, and although Naruhodō Ryunosuke is also a very good lawyer, he has not been back to old London for some time and is confused about the situation here.
After comparing the configurations of both sides, they immediately felt that their hope of completing the game this time was slim.
"... Naruhodō-kun, Shousasha, there is a way." A strange voice sounded, and everyone turned to look at the source of the voice almost at the same time—————
"Although the old man doesn't allow us to meet and talk with little Gina, we can bypass this restriction by using other props, right?"
Alice Watson seemed to have regained her previous strength and spirit, she whispered.
"For example, the device that Holmes and I used in that trial... If we use the projection device, we can bypass the old man's line of sight and communicate with little Gina."
"Ah, yes, if we use projection... projection?"
Mao Lilan just nodded to praise Alice's idea, and then suddenly realized what Alice had just said, and immediately looked at Miss Alice with a surprised expression.
A projection device that can interact with other people? This kind of thing can't be done even in the 21st century outside of the cocoon game? It's only the end of the 19th century, how can such black technology be made?
However, the members of the Junior Detective Team were not surprised.
Because they often visit Dr. Agasa's research institute and have seen all kinds of things. It's just a projection device. Even if a spark prism is taken out, they won't be surprised!
"That's great! The projection device is at 221B Baker Street, right? I remember where that place is! Let's go get it now!"
Yuantai said loudly and excitedly, completely forgetting the last time he was tragically killed by a [Treasure Box Monster] because he was wandering around 221B Baker Street.
"Well... Come to think of it, I haven't been back to 221B Baker Street for a long time. I still remember that we rented a room to open a law firm..."
Naruhodō Ryunosuke seemed to have thought of something, and there was a hint of nostalgia in his tone.
"Well, let's go now without further ado..."
"Wait, Naruhodō-kun! I want you and Suzusa to see this!"
When Susado was about to leave, Alice called out to her and the members of the Junior Detective League.
This talented girl from the late 19th century took out a small sphere from somewhere.
"This is a new prop that an old man helped me develop... It can simulate the scene we described and simulate everything realistically... I want you to see Jack the Ripper."
"That was when I followed Sherlock Holmes' footsteps and found the University of London, and was preparing to conduct an in-depth investigation... I was attacked by Jack the Ripper and was eventually caught..."
Alice Watson felt a little lost when she said this, as if she thought of Haibara Ai's back.
Until now, she has never seen the true face of Haibara Ai. Perhaps, the purpose of her choosing to take out this instrument is also to restore Haibara Ai's full appearance with the help of the description of the Junior Detective League?
"This is... what I saw at the entrance of the London University gymnasium, Jack the Ripper. This is the whole process from meeting him to being caught by him."

Chapter 557 The Identities of the Stars
Jack the Ripper is a mysterious creature that is hard to find. There are many different versions of him within the Scotland Yard police station, but his true appearance is finally revealed in front of Alice Watson's black technology.
She is tall and thin and looks a bit fierce, but if she puts on makeup, she might be able to pass as a woman.
When attacking Alice, Jack the Ripper was wearing a black cloak and a black top hat on his head, so it is difficult to find further information about Jack the Ripper from Alice's memories alone.
Alice Watson looked at the scene reproduction created using black technology with some worry. She also planned to catch Jack the Ripper as quickly as possible, help Haibara Ai's companions understand their wishes, and then go find Sherlock Holmes.
