Chapter 585 What Exactly Did Chi Feichei Do?
Chi Feichei wasn't nervous. He still had a gun in his hand. If worst came to worst, he could just take down Moriarty and use himself as bait to lure out Jack the Ripper.
"I know them, but our goals are different."
As he spoke, Chi Feichei stepped forward again, picked up Haibara Ai, and placed her in the Carriage. Turning his head to Moriarty, he explained, "My Younger Sister is not well-disciplined. She likes to hang out with some rather unique Friends, I apologize for the spectacle. Do you mind if I bring her along? If you do, please just take us to Whitechapel."
The only ones with 'Field' Embroidery on their Clothes are Haibara Ai and Ayumi. Ayumi seems to have been eliminated. So, if he just says Haibara Ai is his Younger Sister from the same family, who ran off to hang out with a group of Kids of unknown origin, that would make sense.
Haibara Ai hadn't even Realized what was happening when she found herself in the Car. She turned her head blankly to look at Conan and the others, who were equally Stunned.
What is Brother Hichiji doing?
"Of course I don't mind. Just bring her along to my place for a bit," Moriarty chuckled, then looked at Conan. "So, what brings you to me?"
He automatically excluded Haibara Ai.
Conan remembered the Serious Business, put aside his Speechless Mood, and his Expression became serious. "That person called Jack the Ripper, is he someone Professor put on the Street to turn London into a city of terror, right?"
"You're only half right about that," Moriarty admitted frankly. "Jack the Ripper is a stray Child I picked up in the Slums. Although he was a stray Child abandoned by his Mother and wandering the Street, I sensed his Talent at a glance—his Talent as a criminal. So, I trained him to become a first-class Killer..."
In the Car, Haibara Ai saw Chi Feichei get in and moved over a bit. She wasn't in a hurry to ask questions, listening to Professor talk about Jack the Ripper.
"Why kill innocent Female victims?" Mouri Ran frowned. "I don't understand."
"Jack the Ripper has become a Murder demon beyond my imagination. This series of Incidents is all because that Child has lost control," Moriarty said amiably. "If you want to deal with Jack the Ripper, then I might As Well assist you."
"As-Assist?!" Conan and the others were surprised.
"Although Jack the Ripper is already out of control, as long as I issue a Murder Command, he will still obey..." Moriarty paused, turning his head to look at Chi Feichei, who had already gotten into the Car. "However, that's before tonight. Tonight, Mr. Chi went to Whitechapel, wanting to verify his Guess, to verify the Guess that Jack the Ripper would go to Whitechapel. I met him on the Road and just gave him a ride."
"And then? Did you meet Jack the Ripper in Whitechapel?" Mouri Ran pressed.
"Yes, Jack the Ripper was indeed there. Before this, I didn't know where that Child would run off to," Moriarty withdrew his Gaze from Chi Feichei. "But if you want to go to Whitechapel to find Jack the Ripper now, I'm afraid you won't find him. He was startled by Mr. Chi and probably won't go there again in the near future, and perhaps never again."
Conan: "..."
Chi Feichei has already met Jack the Ripper? Why didn't he catch him...
Oh, right, almost forgot, Chi Feichei's Task is different from theirs.
It's useless for Chi Feichei to catch Jack the Ripper; only if they catch him will it count. But this guy's Speed is still so fast, it's just too much.
Mouri Ran: "..."
Amazing Brother Hichiji.
But, hitching a ride with Professor Moriarty to catch Professor Moriarty's subordinate, and then hitching a ride back with Professor Moriarty...
Is he treating the Professor as transportation?
Suzuki Sonoko: "..."
Thinking about how they walked from the Whitechapel Area to Baker Street, and then to the Poker Club in City Center, and then thinking about Chi Feichei hitching rides the whole time and wandering around randomly, it's just heartbreaking.
Moreover, Chi Feichei even made contact with Jack the Ripper and Professor Moriarty before them, which feels even more heartbreaking.
Annoying Game.
If they could have Brother Hichiji with them, maybe they would have cleared the Game already.
"I don't know what Mr. Chi talked about with him, but a very Weird Situation has arisen," Moriarty continued. "They didn't fight at the time, but Jack the Ripper's Resentment towards Mr. Chi is very strong, so strong that it far exceeds that of the victims. Therefore, if it were before tonight, if I issued a Murder Command, Jack the Ripper might attack my designated Goal, but after tonight, I'm not sure if he will attack my designated Goal or try to find a way to attack Mr. Chi."
In the Car, Haibara Ai turned her head to cast a questioning Gaze at Chi Feichei.
What outrageous thing did Brother Hichiji do or say to make Jack the Ripper not even necessarily listen to the Professor and insist on killing him?
"I Didn't Say Anything, just chatted with him casually for a few Sentences," Chi Feichei thought for a moment, then said to Professor Moriarty, who was standing beside the Car, "He should still listen to your Instructions. After All, there's no rush to kill me."
"Also Correct," Moriarty looked at Conan. "Then, I will publish Information for him in tomorrow's Sunday Times Billboard. You just need to go around and wait for him."
"Who are you going to Command him to kill?" Conan pressed.
"You'll know when you see tomorrow's Newspaper," Moriarty revealed a hint of playful smile in his Eye.
Conan stared at Moriarty with a heavy Expression.
Moriarty suddenly said again, "If you can tell me what 'No Discovery of Bug' means, I might be able to give you a Hint in advance."
Conan staggered, almost falling.
What exactly did Chi Feichei do, seriously!
Chi Feichei couldn't help but take out his Notebook and start Record.
The intelligence level of the NPC needs to be reassessed.
To be able to ask Players what 'Bug' is, the intelligence level of the NPC model is no lower than that of Humans.
Conan saw Moriarty looking at him expectantly and was somewhat Speechless.
How was he supposed to explain this? Tell Professor Moriarty that they are actually Game Characters, and the Fellow sitting in the Car is doing a Test?
Sawada Hiroki, who was replacing Morohoshi, saw Conan looking like he was 'defeated by an NPC' and couldn't bear to increase the difficulty any further.
"You don't want to say? Alright then, I won't ask," Moriarty turned and got into the Car. "Let's talk about it when you want to tell me."
"Why are you helping us?" Mouri Ran couldn't help but ask.
Moriarty wasn't in a hurry to answer. After settling down in the Car, he turned his head and asked Chi Feichei, "What do you think?"
Chi Feichei thought of a Sentence from "Black Butler."
"Things that become Obstacles are best discarded."
The Carriage drove forward, leaving the calm and Indifference Words behind.
Conan was stunned for a moment, then was left Speechless. He was in no Mood to remind Moriarty to be careful about the Decisive Battle at Reichenbach three years later.
"Brother Hichiji is gone, and he took Ai with him," Suzuki Sonoko counted the number of people. "In This Case, there are only five of us left..."
"It's right to let Haibara follow him," Conan regained his thoughts and explained, "Because now even the Professor isn't sure if Jack the Ripper will still listen to him, so we must split Personnel to pay attention to Brother Ike's Situation. And we will go find the Goal designated by the Professor and split up."
"If Jack the Ripper doesn't attack the Goal designated by the Professor tomorrow, but chooses to attack Brother Hichiji, and only Ai is there, she won't be able to Handle it, right?" Mouri Ran said worriedly.
"Don't worry, although Brother Chi can't Help, he can act in self-defense," Conan laughed. "As long as he Seizes Jack the Ripper, and Haibara provides a little Help, then it can be considered Haibara cleared the level, and we will also win. Her side is the least worrying. Moreover, Brother Chi didn't give us no Hints... The Professor said, Brother Chi went to Whitechapel to find Jack the Ripper, right? Then, Jack the Ripper's Mother should be Annie Chapman, who was Murdered in Whitechapel on Saturday."
"What does that mean?" Suzuki Sonoko asked in Doubt.
"Tomorrow we can go to Whitechapel to Check, maybe there will be some Clues," Conan stroked his chin. "Moreover, I remember Holmes' Notes mentioned that two Rings, one large and one small, were found near Annie Chapman's Corpse. The size of the small one is only something a Child could wear. I think that Ring should be what Annie left to Jack the Ripper when he was a Child. If he has been wearing it, one of his Fingers will be much thinner..."
Sawada Hiroki: "..."
Isn't Godfather secretly Helping?
He suspects Godfather and this glasses-wearing Kid are putting on a Play for him!
This...
Never Mind, anyway, someone in the Game has to provide Help to the Players to advance the Game progress.
His Purpose is not to trap everyone to death, but to reveal Thomas's background.
...
On the other side.
The Carriage drove all the way and finally stopped in front of the House where Professor Moriarty had brought Chi Feichei before.
After Moriarty got out of the Car, Chi Feichei also got out of the Car with Haibara Ai and followed him Inside the Room.
The Wood in the Fireplace was still burning, making the whole Room warm.
London is humid and rainy, and the Temperature in the Game is also very Cold. Having a Fireplace is indeed much better.
Haibara Ai Looked at the Coat on her body, "I forgot to return Mitsuhiko's Coat to him."
"One Night, it will pass quickly," Chi Feichei said.
This is a Game, it's impossible to really spend several Hours.
One Night in the Game is actually at most half an Hour.
Moriarty stood by the Table and poured Red Wine into the Decanter. "The first and second Rooms on the left can be for you to Rest. You can go Check them out first."
Chi Feichei picked up the idle Gas Lamp on the Table, adjusted it, and waited for the Light to come on before taking Haibara Ai to Look at the Room.
After Haibara Ai entered the Door, she secretly closed the Door, then turned her head back to Look at Moriarty, who was leisurely looking for Cups Outside through the Door Crack, and asked in a low voice, "Brother Hichiji, what's going on? You and the Professor..."
"Just Like he said, I met him on the Road to Whitechapel," Chi Feichei sized up the Room. It wasn't big or bright, but it was very warm. "In short, if Jack the Ripper comes to find me, I'll take him down, and you Help me, and that will be considered clearing the level."
"Oh? That's really simple." Haibara Ai leaned against the Wall Side. "What about Conan and the others? Are we not going to bother with them?"
"Someone has to keep an eye on the Goal designated by the Professor After All." As Chi Feichei spoke, he turned around and went out the Door, saying in a low voice, "Let's go drink. I want to Test the Taste effect. Also, later I want to Test if I can sleep in the Game."
Haibara Ai followed him out the Door with a face full of black lines.
Conan and the others are wandering the Street, running around everywhere, while they are staying with the big villain Professor Moriarty here with food and lodging. The gap is really too big...
However, she is also curious about what high-quality Red Wine from more than a hundred years ago tastes like.
This is in the Game, a Child drinking just a little bit... of Liquor, should be okay, right?
