**Chapter 584: Stop Acting, You've Been Seen Through**
The carriage went all the way to the City Center, stopping in front of a House midway.
Professor Moriarty invited Chi Feichi inside. Seeing that Chi Feichi was interested in the greeting cards in his Home, he left Chi Feichi in the Living Room to look at the greeting cards. He went upstairs to change clothes, and after coming downstairs, found that Chi Feichi was still looking at those greeting cards.
"Can I understand this as you investigating who is related to me?"
"How could the Professor casually display important connections in the Living Room? At least among these greeting cards, there are none signed Jack, nor any signed Sebastian..."
Chi Feichi tidied the greeting cards and put them back in their original place.
In the Victorian Era, setting aside the scene of prosperity and strength, and phenomena like sharpened class conflicts, the British Person of this era were somewhat... strange.
For example, it was popular to take group photos with deceased Family Members.
Photography was still a new object during this era. Some people, in order to keep a memory of a deceased Family Member, would dress the deceased as if they were alive, or hold them, sit them up, or prop them up with a stand for a group photo, leaving behind old photos with a strange style for their descendants.
For example, the terrifying medicine he had previously teasing Moriarty about: for a bone fracture, they'd use a bone saw to amputate first.
For example, Noble women would use raw meat to apply to their face for beauty, use rat skin for fake eyebrows, and to alleviate the pain of corsets, they would take medication containing insect eggs to lose weight through roundworm parasitism...
Furthermore, for example, the pictures on the back of these greeting cards were strange.
Frogs that kill Companions and steal money, sparrows that are stiff after dying, Clowns delivering meals to dead Criminal, Mr. Potato wearing a black top hat and covered in pustules, a white monster of unknown origin, a Polar Bear holding a human and grinning with a gruesome mouth makeup, ready to eat...
It really wasn't because the people Professor Moriarty knew were dark side.
In Britain during this era, these greeting cards with a dark style that confused people were actually bestsellers.
After going out and boarding the carriage, Chi Feichi started recording in his notebook again.
The Building internal, renovation style, and furniture style matched the setting. Small item features matched the setting. Paper feel matched the setting. No bugs were found...
Moriarty turned his head and saw the content in Chi Feichi's notebook, "You really don't mind me seeing what you recorded?"
"Don't mind," Chi Feichi was still recording, "If you don't mind answering a few questions for me."
"Oh? Ask away," Moriarty didn't rashly agree, "After hearing your questions, I will decide whether or not to answer."
Chi Feichi nodded, preparing to record, "What are the foods of the Civilians in London?"
Just this?
Professor Moriarty was a bit stunned, then saw Chi Feichi record 'Surprised, Unexpected Emotional Response Normal', felt a bit speechless, but still said, "It depends on the family fortune. Rich households have more abundant food. Breakfast might have barbecue, cheese, egg, fish, fried steak, beer. Lunch is generally cold dishes, sometimes there is afternoon tea. At night, around eight o'clock, there is a Banquet, while general households..."
Diet situation, housing situation, hygiene situation, heating lighting situation...
Chi Feichi continued to record.
Kudo Yusaku indeed put in a lot of hard work on the setting of this era.
Discovered a bit of a flaw.
For example, during this era, Woman value hair and would keep it very long, generally below the leg.
This point was not included in the setting. Don't know if Kudo Yusaku didn't set it this way to beautify the character.
Overall, the setting is normal. Afterwards, it depends on whether everything else is normal and if there are any bugs.
Consulting Professor Moriarty for knowledge is also a shortcut for testing, allowing for a quicker concept of the overall setting.
If it were a general NPC, they probably wouldn't pay attention to so many matters.
Along the road, Professor Moriarty answered with great patience, until they reached the City Center. Only after seeing the Poker Club from afar did he end the topic, smilingly say, "I'm starting to suspect you're just a Noble who came to investigate Civilian life..."
"If you're teasing that I don't understand how difficult the life of the poor is in this era, then I admit, I indeed don't know. I've never suffered this kind of sin, nor can I imagine it," Chi Feichi lowered his head and recorded, "Professor, where do you think is the most dark side place?"
"Uh-huh... most dark side?" Moriarty thought a bit, "Bethlem Royal Hospital?"
Chi Feichi's hand holding the pen paused a bit.
Bethlem Royal Hospital!
A mental illness hospital, which not only admits Mental Patient, but also Criminal who cannot be imprisoned due to the Prison quota being full. There are completely unscientific treatment methods, cruel research and punishment, and afterwards, due to insufficient funds, it was also opened to the Civilians for Exhibition, just like a circus, providing visits by buying tickets.
Even, among the remains excavation in modern times, some skulls are bizarre depression, and some eye sockets have sharp objects inserted...
As soon as he conjectured what might have happened there, he felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart.
"You also have knowledge of it?" Moriarty observed Chi Feichi's reaction, "I think the most dark side place is just there, right?"
Chi Feichi paused a bit, "Uh-huh, is that Place open to the Outside?"
"Not open recently," Moriarty looked towards Chi Feichi, his gaze carrying investigation, seemingly wanting to see through Chi Feichi completely, "If you can stay until the end of November, you can probably go to see it. Although what you see will only be what they want you to see, but... do you whether or not consider staying? Stay in London, This Place is not then boring as you imagine, isn't it? I think we have many topics to chat about."
"Even if I wanted to stay, there's no method to stay." Chi Feichi continued to record.
The setting is very perfect, but occasions similar to that Hospital definitely won't be open to players. Guess it doesn't even exist, it's just possibly 'mentioned by people', and you won't find it if you go to look.
Then, present, the game doesn't have anything that would scare Children or mislead Children...
"Bang!"
Moriarty just wanted to say, heard the noisy fight sound coming from the Poker Club ahead, and said to the Coachman driving Outside, "Park the carriage!"
The carriage stopped in the Vicinity of the Poker Club.
"It seems we can't have a good drinking alcohol here tonight," Moriarty got out of the carriage, turned his head and said to Chi Feichi, "I'll take the liquor and go. Do you whether or not want to come over with me to see Sebastian?"
"Not going," Chi Feichi got out of the carriage, "I'll get some air. Thinking of that most dark side place makes me uncomfortable."
Present should be the time for Sawada Hiroki to manufacture difficulty for Conan and them, so he won't go to disturb them.
If a group of people didn't encounter any danger and just followed the plot, that would be too much meaninglessness. Many Child have been eliminated from other Stages, so a few must be eliminated here too.
Moreover, without predicament, it's impossible to see the real personality of the Children participating in the game.
"Okay, then I'll go to check, and come back soon..." Moriarty exchanged clothes with the Coachman, intentionally hunching his waist, "Hope you won't think I look a bit ridiculous like this."
"Won't." Chi Feichi went to Aside, letting the Coachman get on the carriage to impersonate Moriarty, "It's just a bit unexpected, that you actually go yourself."
"Moran knows I'm coming, he won't cause trouble. He must have discovered something that made him feel the situation was out of control, or a tricky person appeared. I want to understand the situation immediately," Moriarty looked up and lowered his hat, walking towards the Poker Club, "If I encounter danger, will you help?"
"See how I feel." Chi Feichi didn't follow.
Moriarty entered the Poker Club. After a bit, he came out and quietly instructed the Coachman a bit, then returned to the Club. Not long afterwards, he came out with a group of people.
Conan, Haibara Ai, Suzuki Sonoko, Mouri Ran, 'Hideki Morohoshi', the Boy wearing a pink suit.
Only six left?
Chi Feichi looked up and took a glance, a bit unexpected.
Eliminated a bit ruthlessly.
Conan was holding a bottle of red wine in his hand, and followed Professor Moriarty to the Front of Car. Seeing Chi Feichi squatting on the Ground disassembling a pistol, he suddenly felt a bit speechless.
If he didn't conjecture wrong, Chi Feichi was probably testing things like pistols, bullet ammunition?
But, does Chi Feichi this Guy not know he blocked the Professor's carriage ah...
Moriarty paid attention to a bit Chi Feichi, went to Car Side, and respectfully said to the Coachman sitting on it pretending to be himself, "I have already brought them."
"Hard work for you," the Coachman also play possession, a deep look, "Okay, Little Brother, entrust to me that bottle of red wine."
"Okay~" Conan reached out his hand, handing over the red wine in his hand to the real Moriarty.
Moriarty stepped forward and bent down to receive the red wine, and Conan was stunned a bit.
"Being able to contend with Colonel Moran is indeed not a simple character," the Coachman continued, "What matters do you have for me?"
Conan acting cute asked, "Uncle, are you Professor Moriarty?"
"Of course..." the Coachman's words were not finished saying, when he was interrupted by Chi Feichi.
"Stop acting, you've been seen through." Chi Feichi had already reassembled the firearms, and got up.
The Coachman was stunned a bit, turned his head to look towards Professor Moriarty himself who had put away the red wine and returned to the Car Side.
Moriarty straightened his waist that was hunched before, looked at Chi Feichi, and again turned his head to look towards Conan, "How did you see it?"
"You say he says it and you believe it?" Conan wasn't in a hurry to answer, curiously looked towards Chi Feichi and Moriarty.
Seemingly, Chi Feichi wasn't accidentally blocking the Professor's carriage while testing, but...
Acquaintance, came together!
How did Chi Feichi this Guy get mixed up Beside Professor Moriarty?
Seeing there was no more play, the Coachman got out of the carriage and exchanged hats with Professor Moriarty.
Moriarty received his own top hat and put it on, looked at Chi Feichi, and again smilingly said to Conan, "I think his judgment is worth believing a bit."
"You have the scent of natural vanilla perfume on you." Chi Feichi said.
Professor Moriarty understood, asking Conan, "You smelled it when you were handing me the red wine?"
"Uh-huh!" Conan nodded, and again said, "Moreover, just now Colonel Moran said 'Please wait a bit' to you. He would only use honorifics towards Professor Moriarty."
"You recognized me before, was it also because you smelled the perfume scent on me?" Moriarty again turned his head to look towards Chi Feichi.
Chi Feichi nodded, "Yes."
"You didn't remind me before, were you waiting to see the excitement?" Moriarty smilingly asked Chi Feichi, seemingly just casually teasing.
Chi Feichi replied with a tan face, "I think you wouldn't cover up the perfume scent by rolling in a mud Pit with a rotten aura for a few circles."
"I indeed am unwilling," Moriarty again looked towards Conan's group of people, his gaze stopped on the 'Field' hidden pattern on Haibara Ai's skirt hem for a bit. He remembered Chi Feichi's collar also had the same hidden embroidery, the embroidery thread and fabric were the same color, and you really couldn't see it if you were unaware, "Then, can you tell me, are they Holmes' people? Or your people?"
Conan's heart sank a bit, looking towards Chi Feichi.
Don't know what the situation is between Chi Feichi and Moriarty present, whether it will cause any incident to appear...
Haibara Ai's heart also felt a bit tension, although it's a game, but if they are completely eliminated here at Moriarty's, then they really can't come back.
