Chapter 176 - Sherlock Holmes is not at home

"So what do we do next?" Maoliran asked. "Conan, do you remember where the fifth case took place?"

"Bishop's Square," Conan replied. "It's about 400 meters straight to the west. The deceased died at around 1:30 and was found at 1:45 after a brutal autopsy. ”

"Can we get there?" Maoliran asked.

"Even if we can get there, we'll have a hard time stopping Jack the Ripper." Conan shook his head. "Or rather, we can't beat him unless we can call the police at Scotland Yard."

"What's wrong?" At this moment, Hideki Zhuxing led the little ones in. "I just looked—"

Hideki Zhuxing's words came to an abrupt end when he saw Elizabeth's corpse.

"We need to get some of the patrolmen," Conan said, standing up. "We need to gather as much of the police as possible to fight Jack the Ripper."

。。。

Half an hour later, the group stopped on one side of the road.

"Are all the patrolmen around here dead?" Qian Yu poked a hole in the brick wall next to him with his finger tiger, and said hatefully.

"I guess Noah's Ark did it." Conan shook his head and said.

"He must have done it!" Chiba turned to face Conan. "Otherwise, I could have met at least three patrolmen on those roads just now!"

"That..." Mao Lilan looked at the poster on the road next to him, and after hesitating for a moment, he still stopped Chiba and Conan. "You're coming to see this...

“?” Conan and the others all came over, only to find out that it was a poster.

The location doesn't matter, but the actors are...

"Erin Adler?" Conan's expression was wonderful.

"What that means..." Qian Yu also raised an eyebrow. "Should we go and see if there is 221 Baker Street?"

"What do you mean?" Zhu Xing Xiushu asked curiously-he should be regarded as the most active one among those gentlemen, much more comfortable than those die-hards.

"Erin Adler isn't a real person," Chiba explained. "It's a character that can only be found in Sherlock Holmes' storyline. In other words, the stage we are on may not be really a historical line, but something that some people have added to the Sherlock Holmes series. ”

"So can we go to Sherlock Holmes?" Hideki Morishi had obviously read some of the stories of Sherlock Holmes, so he could keep up with Chiba's train of thought.

"Yes, yes, but..." Qian Yu suddenly showed an embarrassed expression. "Does any of you know where Baker Street is?"

"I know," Conan said with a confident smile. "I've memorized a map of London from the Sherlock Holmes era, and although I'm mainly familiar with the geography of Westminster (where Baker Street is located), I probably have an impression of the streets in other areas."

“woc。。。” Chiba and the others looked at Conan dumbfounded.

。。。

"It's really come to this... Chiba and the others looked at the street name sign in front of them that read "Baker Street", and their worship for Conan was like a mountain.

"Let's go to 221B and visit Mr. Holmes first." Conan just smiled and shook his head, letting everyone focus on business.

221b appears very abruptly because the entire Baker Street has a two-digit number, and only this building has a very prominent 221.

"Knock-knock-" Conan knocked on 221b's door. "Mr. Holmes?"

"It's late at night, isn't it?" Qian Yu suddenly thought of a question. "I remember that Mr. Holmes had a habit of injecting cocaine all year round... Will there be any grumpy problems? ”

"Probably not..." Conan was also stunned when he heard Qianyu's question. "I don't know."

"Edogawa, will Holmes be able to solve the case well in a few years?" Gray Yuan asked suddenly.

"Uhhh Conan remembered for a moment and nodded. "Yes, even in his old age, he seems to have only rheumatism and the like, and there is no mental problem."

"Then there's nothing to worry about," Gray Plains said, spreading his hands. "The physical symptoms of long-term small injections of cocaine are almost non-existent, and the psychological symptoms are not obvious, mainly manifested in mild irritability and mild mental lethargy, but from the fact that Mr. Holmes still maintains a very high level of mental ability, these symptoms are not enough to change his personality." (In fact, the main reason Holmes didn't have these symptoms was because in the era when Holmes wrote about Conan Doyle, cocaine was more advanced and fashionable than opium, and it was much more masculine to roll up your sleeves and inject it subcutaneously than to smoke it in bed.) And the time was not at all aware of the dangers of cocaine. As evidence, Freud once wrote a paper on the treatment of morphine addiction with cocaine in that era... )

At this moment, the door opened, and a mother-in-law who Qian Yu didn't know at all appeared in front of everyone.

"Huh?" Maoliran made a puzzled sound.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Holmes here?" Or Conan was more clever and immediately asked.

"Mr. Holmes and Dr. Watson have both gone out of town because of the case." The mother-in-law said in a standard London accent.

"Out of town?" Conan was stunned. "Where is it?"

"I remember it was... The mother-in-law thought about it. "Devonshire... It seems that a doctor named James visited him yesterday morning... ”

"James?" Conan said thoughtfully. "Devonshire... It's the Hound of the Baskervilles! ”

"So, Mr. Holmes isn't there?" Chiba immediately understood what this meant. "He can't help us anymore?"

"Probably." Conan sighed and nodded.

"So," the mother-in-law said kindly. "Come in, I'll get you some drinks!"

"Huh?" Conan was stunned.

"Didn't you just help Mr. Holmes solve a case last week?" The mother-in-law's eyes narrowed into crescents. "This is what you deserve, come on in!"

"Oh... Conan understood everything in an instant, and then spoke to everyone in Japanese. "Come with me, everybody!"

"What were you talking about?" Mitsuhiko leaned into Chiha's ear and asked in a whisper. "These guys are all speaking English, and we don't understand them at all!"

Qian Yu glanced at the others and found that only himself, Conan, Gray Plains, and Mao Lilan could understand the conversation just now, and the others were all in a state of confusion as if listening to a book from heaven.

"Come on in!" At this moment, my mother-in-law, who had always spoken a London accent, suddenly changed to standard Japanese.

“。。。” Qianyu glanced at her mother-in-law, and then led everyone into 221b.
