Chapter 181 - Assassination Order

"Is Jack the Ripper the Professor's killer on the streets in order to turn London into a city of horrors?" Conan asked.

"Not exactly," Professor Moriarty shook his head. "Jack the Ripper was a street boy I met in the slums, and although he was abandoned by his mother and was cold and hungry when I found him, I felt his extraordinary talent at the first sight of him. So, I trained him to be a first-class killer. ”

"Then why let him kill innocent women?" Maoliran asked. "Although their status is very low, they are also living people!"

And Qian Yu guessed the general situation.

Jack the Ripper probably got out of control because of some obsession... Otherwise, they would not have attacked worthless targets ...

"Jack the Ripper has turned into a murderer beyond my imagination, and all of these cases are the result of that kid getting out of control." Professor Moriarty said, a strange color suddenly appeared on his face. "If you want to catch him, I'll help too."

"Help?" Everyone was stunned.

"Although Jack the Ripper has started to get out of control, if I give the order to kill, he will still obey." Moriarty said with a smile. "I'm going to put a message on the Sunday Times ad board tomorrow — judging by the time, and tell him to kill someone, and you just have to get there early and catch him. Considering that you are very tired right now, and that it is really difficult for you to do anything during the day, I will set the time for the evening. ”

"Who are you going to let him kill?" Conan asked hurriedly.

"Just look at tomorrow's paper." Moriarty dodged the question playfully, and then he stepped into his seat in the carriage, where the coachman who had been sitting there disguised as him had returned to his place.

"I don't think he has a good heart... Qian Yu frowned and said to Conan.

"Perhaps," Conan said helplessly. "But that's our only chance to catch Jack the Ripper."

"Yawn-" At that moment, Motota yawned.

"If you really want to be rigorous, we haven't slept for more than 20 hours... Mitsuhiko himself yawned and said.

"So let's find a place to rest?" After Qian Yu finished saying this proposal, he frowned. "But... Is there any place to rest? ”

At this moment, behind them, the back door of the poker club suddenly opened.

"Since you are Mr. Moriarty's guests," an amiable middle-aged uncle said to them with a smile. "That's my guest. Come on in! All the housing here is at your disposal! ”

。。。

The next day, everyone who was familiar with Chiba realized that Chiba probably had obsessive-compulsive disorder, because...

Before eating a breakfast called lunch (called lunch because everyone fell asleep in the early hours of the morning and woke up one after another in the afternoon), Chiba appeared in front of everyone with a smile on her back.

"I still think it would be more reassuring to have a backpack~~~"

Although the text and language of the entire game have been cultured in Japan, it is clear that these translations will not affect the style of the breakfast.

"It's delicious!" Motota cheered as he took a bite of the white bread with seven or eight slices of bacon - as a child of a traditional Edo-style family, he only ate the most traditional Japanese breakfast, the kind of continental breakfast he had not yet touched.

"Which one do you think of the Sunday Times?" On the side, Qian Yu swallowed his breakfast and said to Conan.

"Although there is more than one Sunday Times, if you want to talk about popularity, it should be The Sunday Times, right?" Conan had already finished his breakfast before him.

"yes," Chiba nodded. Only the Sunday Times is the best fit for that. Then again, do we need yen or pound sterling to buy something here? ”

"We can't pay with our money, whether it's yen or pounds... The corners of Conan's mouth twitched. "After all, our yen is a counterfeit now."

Portraits on the yen are constantly changing. Prior to 1984, banknotes were printed with portraits of historical rulers or rulers – for example, the 1881 banknote featured a portrait of Empress Shinko, while Prince Shotoku had been printed seven times since 1930 on different versions of the banknote.

However, after 1984, the portrait on the yen ceased to be the ruler. Yukichi Fukuzawa, one of the three masters of the Meiji era; Civilian female writer Kazuha Higuchi; "Japan's National Treasure" Hideyo Noguchi; "National Writer" Natsume Soseki; Hirobumi Ito (Although he was not printed on 10,000 yuan, he was one of the most important people in modern Japanese history. After the Shogun Revolution, Japan developed at a fantastic speed and became a world power at an incredible speed. In short, if anyone dares to write Hirobumi Ito's achievements into a time-traveling novel, they will probably be sprayed with the protagonist Long Aotian. )。。。 Portraits of elites from the Meiji era are engraved on banknotes to commemorate the rise of the era.

So, if Chiba and Conan were going to use the 1994 bill to disguise the 1899 banknote, it would be completely impossible. Even if they pay with a yen coin without a portrait, the yen coin has to write the year name at the time of minting, and even a blind person can't recognize Heisei as Meiji - wait a minute, if the NPC is set to be British, even if the whole game is already Japanese, maybe they still can't read Japanese, or even don't even know what's on the yen?

If you can pay in yen in the game, maybe you can use the yen on them?

"Brother," Chiba saw the waiter sitting at the bar. "Do you sell newspapers in the club? How much does it cost? ”

"The Sunday Times in the morning, 80 yen a copy." The waiter's answer made both Chiba and Conan look relieved - from the point of view of the monetary unit, the yen can be used completely; And judging from the price, this game is performed at the current price point and not from 1899, which means that they may be able to use the yen on them!

"Wait a minute, can we understand that this game is charged? Will the money we pay out in the game be returned to us after the game is over? Conan suddenly had a strange question in mind.

。。。

After buying a newspaper from the waiter, everyone gathered together and looked at the newspaper's advertising column, and one of the advertisements caught their attention - the other advertisements were merchandising, only this one was a similar newsletter.

"Tonight I'm going to clean up the stage at the opera house." - M's message to J.

"The stage of the opera house?" After thinking about it, Qian Yu's face changed color slightly. "If I'm not mistaken, yesterday I saw a poster that said that Erin Adler was going to perform at the Opera House tonight!"
