After leaving Wiggins in the utility room, Ling ran out of the bridge club with brisk steps. She was going to prepare to find the police.
In this era, Bell had just improved the telephone a few years ago. Of course, telephones were not yet popular, so it was impossible to call the police. But it didn't matter, because "Jack the Ripper" continued to commit crimes. Now the whole of London was in turmoil, and the streets were full of people. There are police patrolling, especially since this is the city center, where aristocrats and emerging capitalists gather, so there are naturally more police patrolling. Anyway, when Ling comes to the street, she can see police patrolling at a casual glance.
However, Ling did not call the police immediately, but waited patiently.
Professor Moriarty hasn't arrived yet. If she calls the police now, she may not be able to involve Professor Moriarty, so it's best to "take the stolen goods together" and wait until Professor Moriarty enters the bridge club and accepts Moran. Wouldn't it be better if she rushed in with the police during the colonel's reception?
So Ling hid outside the bridge club and waited. Fortunately for her, she didn't wait long. Soon, a black carriage slowly stopped at the door of the bridge club.
What came out of the carriage was a gloomy old man in dark clothes. Almost as soon as he saw him, Ling knew that he must be Professor Moriarty!
To ask why... it's very simple. It is impossible for a game to specially design a special but completely useless character. If this special character appeared at this time and this place, if he was not Professor Moriarty, Ling would definitely complain about this game. screenwriter!
(Kudo Yusaku said, I’m sorry, the plot has completely deviated. I don’t even know how it will develop next!)
After getting out of the car, Professor Moriarty straightened his collar and then slowly entered the bridge club.
He came to the bridge club today because he was invited by Colonel Moran to taste a bottle of precious red wine.
As a person who regards crime as his lifelong career, Professor Moriarty has already dedicated his limited life to an infinite criminal career. Most people have his wealth and status and would have indulged in extravagance, but he did not. He is strict with himself and thinks hard every day to commit a few more major crimes in London, causing headaches to the police and fear to the citizens. He is a pure evil person who has escaped from vulgar taste. The only thing he refuses is fragrant red wine. Incredible enjoyment.
Moran is Professor Moriarty's confidant and knows his picky taste best. The red wine that Professor Moriarty can specially invite to taste must be a rare treasure, which makes Professor Moriarty can't help but There was a bit of anticipation, and even the feeling of being somewhat unlucky due to the recent "Jack the Ripper" incident also felt a little better.
After entering the club, other people in the club were still drinking and chatting happily, turning a deaf ear to this old man who was out of tune with the lively atmosphere of the club. Only Colonel Moran and the few people playing cards with Colonel Moran stood up respectfully—— They knew the identity and terror of this old man, and they did not dare to be disrespectful to him in the slightest.
"No need to be restrained, I'm just here to enjoy the wine today."
Professor Moriarty took off his hat, and soon someone came forward to help him hold the hat and retreat.
"professor!"
Colonel Moran also very diligently opened Professor Moriarty's chair and ushered Professor Moriarty into the chair.
Professor Moriarty sat down calmly, and then said to Colonel Moran: "Molan..."
"Police uncle, that's him!"
Before Professor Moriarty finished speaking, a sharp voice sounded, and a little girl in a white dress led a large number of police officers into the club.
"I?"
Colonel Moran looked at the little girl who was crying with confusion.
Looking at her pitiful appearance, if he hadn't been absolutely sure that this was the first time he saw this little girl today, even he would have couldn't help but wonder if he had done something too extreme to her.
The leading policeman frowned. He recognized Colonel Moran, a dangerous man in London, and this was still his territory. There were many of his men there, but he looked behind him and saw that a group of brothers were there. , I felt confident instantly.
The police have noticed this dangerous person for a few days, but they have been suffering from the lack of evidence to prosecute him. Now they finally have the opportunity to arrest him. The police are of course very happy, especially now that the London police are overwhelmed by "Jack the Ripper". If Colonel Moran can be brought to justice, it will relieve some of the pressure on the police.
"Someone reported that you kidnapped a child. Mr. Moran, can you give me some explanation?"
The police asked Colonel Moran, and his hand was already on the pistol on his waist. As long as Colonel Moran dared to act rashly, he would not rule out the possibility of resorting to force.
"Kidnapping a little boy? Are you kidding? Why should I kidnap a little boy!"
Colonel Moran had a puzzled look on his face. He had always been dirty. Just now he had cheated while playing cards, and he had done more illegal things. Adding up all his crimes, he would have been shot ten times. It's not enough, but he has never kidnapped a little boy, not even once. After all, he is not a priest, so he is not good at that.
The police signaled to their men behind them, then spread out and began to search the club.
Colonel Moran didn't panic. After all, he really didn't kidnap the little boy, but he was somewhat worried in his heart - he had indeed never done anything like this, but he couldn't guarantee that no one of his men would commit such a case without telling him. But as long as he didn't, If people identify him, he is not too worried.
"Captain, I found a kid in the utility room in the back!"
Soon a policeman came out with a little boy in his arms. The police captain looked at Colonel Moran. Colonel Moran looked a little uncomfortable, but he still insisted: "What are you looking at? I'm just a regular visitor to this club. This is not the place." If someone is kidnapped at my place, you should find the owner of this club, not me, the guest!"
What Colonel Moran said made sense, and the police captain also knew that Colonel Moran could not be arrested based on this alone, so he pulled out the rag from Wiggins' mouth and said softly to Wiggins: "Child, tell I, who tied you up, if he is at the scene, please bravely stand up and testify against him!"
Wiggins' face was full of fear, and he glanced around. When he saw Colonel Moran, the fear on his face almost froze, and he turned his head sharply: "There is no kidnapper here. Let me go! I want to go home, I want to go home!"
Seeing Wiggins' performance, how could the police captain not know that he had recognized Colonel Moran as the kidnapper? Wiggins did not dare to testify against Colonel Moran entirely out of fear of Colonel Moran.
"Child, don't be afraid. We are the police and the Queen's guards. We will protect you. Moreover, if you don't come forward to testify against your kidnapper now, he will still not let you go in the future. At that time, we may not be able to make it in time. Protecting you."
The police captain was half comforting and half threatening.
"But, but..."
Wiggins sobbed and said "but" for a long time but still did not continue.
This guy's acting skills are not bad!
Ling on the side couldn't help but admire Wiggins' performance.
If Wiggins directly testified that Colonel Moran was the one who kidnapped him, it would be too blunt. The way he looks now, he shows the fear and helplessness of a child who has just been kidnapped just right, which greatly strengthens the matter. credibility.
Very good, Wiggins' performance is almost done, it's time for him to step forward to add fuel to the fire.
"Brother Wiggins!"
Tears flowed from Ling's eyes, and she stepped forward to try desperately to untie the rope on Wiggins, but she couldn't untie it.
"Little sister, let me do it."
A policeman on the side stepped forward to help. After discovering Wiggins in the utility room, he was so anxious to take him out that he didn't even have time to untie him.
"It's tied so tightly!"
When the police untied the rope, they found that it was difficult to untie the rope and it was tied very tightly, leaving traces of strangulation on Wiggins.
Ling continued to perform: "Brother Wiggins, tell me quickly. I saw it all. It was the person who kidnapped you before. I'm so scared!"
Ling sobbed.
"Ling, I can't say that that person... that person said that he wanted to give me to a great big shot. If I testify against him, both you and I will die!"
Wiggins said desperately.
Eve, who was hiding in the corner, silently watched the two actors playing each other, making a "framing" look like a tragic death. She wanted to say something in her heart, but she felt like she couldn't.
Alas, my vocabulary is still low!
Big shot?
After hearing what Wiggins said, the people who had been playing cards with Colonel Moran couldn't help but look at Professor Moriarty, who was still sitting calmly on the main seat.
Apart from Professor Moriarty, there is probably no one else who can be called a big shot by Colonel Moran, right?
Previously, Colonel Moran said that he wanted to invite Professor Moriarty to taste the wine. They all thought it was just the wine, but they never expected that there was a beautiful boy who matched the wine. After all, he was the professor's number one confidant, and he just knew how to please the professor!
A hint of understanding flashed in the eyes of these people.
In this country where "the name is Britain, the nickname is England", it is normal to have some special orientation, and it is a symbol of good taste if the object is a little boy. Moreover, although the British upper class may appear to be gentlemen on the outside, they are full of flowers on the inside. The locals like them know very well, so it cannot be said that they have no doubts about Professor Moriarty, who has always looked abstinent, but he can only say that it is normal.
They even began to think about whether they should also look for some good-looking little boys to send to Professor Moriarty? There are a lot of orphans on the streets of London anyway, and no one will care if one or two are missing.
Professor Moriarty, who had been watching the farce with indifferent eyes, couldn't help but twitching when he heard Wiggins' words.
What the hell? A gift for me? I'm not a priest, so I don't like this!
However, Professor Moriarty soon analyzed from the expression on Colonel Moran's face that he knew nothing about this little boy, not even where he came from.
Being plotted!
Professor Moriarty understood immediately.
Ha, it’s interesting, someone actually dares to plot against James Moriarty, it’s really interesting!
For the first time, Professor Moriarty cast his eyes on the two children, Ling and Wiggins. He had never looked at them before.
"Mr. Moran, it seems we need to ask you to sit in the police station."
The police captain said to Colonel Moran.
What Wiggins said just now almost proved that Colonel Moran was the one who kidnapped him. He already had enough reasons to take Colonel Moran to the police station for questioning.
"This is a false accusation, they are framing me!"
Colonel Moran said angrily.
He won't admit to things he hasn't done, and of course he won't admit to things he has done.
"False accusation? What are the two children doing to frame you? And, do they look like they are lying?"
The police captain said with indignation.
Ling and Wiggins cuddled together, crying, looking scared and sad. If they were lying, they should be panicked and incoherent now, how could they look like this!
At this moment, a ubiquitous playing card fluttered down in front of his desk. Professor Moriarty looked up and could only vaguely see a flash of gold.
After glancing at the cards, Professor Moriarty held the cards in his hand and put them into his sleeve without leaving any trace. He stood up slowly and said: "I'm sorry, please forgive me. This old man can't stand the noisy environment. This place should be Is there nothing wrong with me? Can I leave first? "
"this……"
The police captain hesitated. It was true that the person who "kidnapped" Wiggins was Colonel Moran, but it was likely that more than just Colonel Moran was involved. The people at this table might be Colonel Moran's associates. He did not dare to let him go casually. Who can leave, but the old man in front of him is very well-dressed and has exquisite makeup. He has an extraordinary status at first glance. Without any evidence, he does not dare to restrict Professor Moriarty's actions casually. .
"Well, tasting fine wine requires a quiet atmosphere and a comfortable environment. My carriage is outside. Can I have a drink on my carriage? Although my carriage is not too big or too luxurious, it is better than the environment here. Be nice.”
Professor Moriarty did the next best thing.
"That's no problem, please, sir."
The police captain said politely.
As long as Professor Moriarty doesn't leave directly, it doesn't matter if he is let out. Anyway, just leave someone to watch him for a while.
"Thank you, you are a gentleman!"
Professor Moriarty nodded.
Seeing Moriarty walk out of the club, Eve, who had just returned to hide, breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that he had accepted Ling's "suggestion" and was willing to have a good talk with them.
"Ling came up with this damaging move, right?"
A voice sounded from behind Eve. Eve's heart tightened, but she quickly recognized the owner of the voice, and there was a bit of happiness in her voice.
"Brother Kai!"
Yan Kai squatted behind Eve and smiled at Eve: "Eve, are you having fun?"
"It's okay, but it doesn't feel like this game is for children."
Eve shook her head. If this game were classified, based on the bloody scene at the beginning of the game, this would be an "R18" game. The main plot of the game is to hunt down the legendary serial murderer "Jack the Ripper". You may encounter many more scenes like this in the future, which are really not suitable for children with sound minds and bodies. Only the children of the "Young Detective Team" have been tested for a long time, so they can play such games without stage fright, and they are not punished. Psychological shadow.
"Yeah, I think so too."
Yan Kai nodded.
With no upgrades, no equipment, and no guidance for novices, this game is really not friendly to children.
"Brother Kai, why are you here? Are you worried about us?"
Eve asked Yan Kaidao.
"No." Yan Kai shook his head slightly, and then said, "To be honest, I escaped here because of my eviction."
"ha?"
Even though Eve had been with Yan Kai for a long time and knew that Yan Kai was a bit incomprehensible, she couldn't help but feel shocked when she heard his answer.
God is so evasive!
