People in Detective Conan are going crazy over the comments section.

Chapter 254 Dartmore, The Departure of Holmes!

"How much further do we have to go..."

"Stop complaining, Genta, we're almost there."

The group walked down an alley, and Genta lamented how far the journey was. Although it was a game, it felt completely real.

"us……"

"Shh!"

As they walked, Asakawa Yu and Conan, who were walking at the front, suddenly stopped.

Asakawa Yu peeked out slightly, while Conan gestured for everyone to quiet down.

"I heard that more victims have been found in the alleys of Mayta Street."

"Two incidents within an hour, this is the fourth one already!"

"Sigh, what a terrible world."

Two policemen stood by the roadside talking, avoiding any mention of Jack the Ripper's infamous name, and walked away into the distance with their oil lamps.

"How scary!"

"We have come to a very absurd world."

The children in the team started to feel scared. There was nothing they could do; after all, they were still children, and it was only natural that they would feel a little scared when they heard about such things.

"Although London at the end of the century was hailed as the last peaceful and prosperous era of the British Empire, it was actually an era of great wealth disparity, extremely brutal crime, and treacherous human nature."

Ai Haibara explained this to the children who were unfamiliar with this history.

“I remember Shinichi once said that if Sherlock Holmes is the light of the times, then Jack the Ripper is the shadow of darkness,” Ran said.

"Then let's hurry over to the Light of the Times! Baker Street is just ahead!" Conan said excitedly.

"It seems Conan is very excited." Akemi couldn't help but laugh as she looked at Conan's expression, which was no different from that of any other child.

"There's nothing we can do about it, after all, someone's a huge Sherlock Holmes fanatic," Ai Haibara added from the side.

Conan felt a little embarrassed by the sisters' conversation, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.

"Alright, let's keep going. The later we stay, the more chaotic it will be outside," Asakawa Yu reminded him.

Now he just wants to end all this as soon as possible, but he also needs to find a way to prevent Noah's Ark from self-destructing, which is also his biggest mission on this trip.

"Be careful of Jack the Ripper, he's waiting for you on the road at night..."

Just as everyone was about to set off, a homeless man carrying a bellows came over, muttering some song lyrics.

"What should I do if I don't want to die?"

For a moment, the homeless man glanced at Conan, then looked at Asakawa Yu.

In an instant, Asakawa Yu's gaze met his in mid-air, and he saw a confident smile in the other man's eyes.

"Interesting." Asakawa Yu's lips curled up slightly, and he seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

"Then you'll have to be covered in blood too..."

After singing this line, the homeless man slowly walked away into the distance, leaving Conan and the others watching his retreating figure with great confusion.

What does this sentence mean?

"Could it mean that you have to kill the other person before you can kill them?"

Several children were guessing the meaning of what the homeless man had just said, while Asakawa Yu already knew the man's true identity.

The homeless man, or rather, the one Noah's Ark arranged to help them—Sherlock Holmes!

However, for now, we must follow the game's arrangements. At least, we cannot confront Noah's Ark before the game ends.

Led by Asakawa Yu, the group continued walking toward Baker Street.

They had already walked for almost an hour, so they were almost there.

…………

221-B Baker Street.

"Is that Sherlock Holmes living here?" Genta asked, looking at Ran who was knocking on the door.

"Yes, this is the apartment he rented with Dr. Watson."

Just as Xiaolan and Yuantai were explaining, the door was pulled open from the inside out.

"Who is it so late?"

The woman who came out and opened the door was a very elegant-looking lady.

This must be Mrs. Hudson.

As a reader who had also read Sherlock Holmes, Asakawa Yu recognized the lady in front of him at a glance.

But from the lady's message, they learned some bad news.

Holmes and Watson had already left London for a business trip.

"Excuse me, could you tell me what day it is today?"

Asakawa Yu asked, and seeing the young man's question, although she didn't know what they wanted to do, Mrs. Hudson still answered:

"Um... it's September 30th."

September 30th, Dartmore...

"So that's how it is! The Hound of the Baskervilles!" Conan exclaimed.

"That's right, this period coincides with the time when Holmes left London, which means that the person who can help us now has already left London!"

Asakawa Yu summarized the current information in a simple and easy-to-understand way, and upon hearing that Holmes had already left London, the children, who were not at peace, immediately began to worry.

"By the way, I heard that you made a great contribution to solving Mr. Holmes' case two weeks ago."

This puzzled everyone, but Mrs. Hudson continued, "Come on in, come on in. I'll go make you some hot tea right now."

"And the three of you, you must also have something to say to Holmes, right? Come in."

At Mrs. Hudson's invitation, Asakawa Yu and Conan and the others went into the house.

“I think she probably mistook you for the Baker Street Guerrillas.” Asakawa Yu said this, Conan also thought of this.

I agree with Asakawa Yu's guess.

“Baker Street Guerrilla? What’s that?” Hideki Moroboshi asked.

“Those are the homeless children that Holmes hired. They specialize in sneaking into places adults can’t get into to collect information. They’re a group of brave kids,” Xiaolan explained.

"Hehe, so he's basically a senior to our Junior Detective Club," Mitsuhiko said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Professor Agasa and the others watching from the outside breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Asakawa Yu and the others finally enter the apartment…
