Chapter 323

"Who exactly are you people, and why are you looking for trouble with us?"

In the Poker Club, Professor Moriarty's bottle of high-end red wine had already been opened.

And at the long dining table, Professor Moriarty was currently tasting the red wine in his hand with an expression of enjoyment, not at all worried that Shengzai, sitting opposite him, was currently pointing a revolver at him.

This is not because Professor Moriarty is not afraid of death, but because he himself is quite clear that since Shengzai didn't kill him at the beginning but wanted to sit down and talk, it means the other party has something to ask of him.

Looking at the red wine glass handed over by Colonel Moran, Shengzai was just about to reach out and take it, but in the next second, it was snatched away by Yuanzi from the side.

"You're just a little kid, what are you learning to drink red wine for!"

Shengzai hadn't even had a chance to take a sip of the red wine he had just gotten his hands on to enjoy the taste of 19th-century high-end red wine, when his head was already hit by a chestnut from Yuanzi, and even the red wine in his hand was snatched away by her.

"But Yuanzi-Barrier, this is a game..."

Shengzai always felt that as long as his sister was around, the coolness he had worked so hard to build would always drop rapidly.

And honestly, Shengzai was indeed quite greedy for the red wine Professor Moriarty was drinking.

Don't forget, "Cocoon" is a virtual reality game that can completely simulate the five senses of reality.

In other words, the brain can also receive signals from the delicious food tasted here and simulate the feeling of actually tasting it.

As a big shot in London at the end of the 19th century, could the red wine Professor Moriarty drinks be ordinary goods?

It is the 19th century now; the red wine the other party is drinking might even be high-end red wine from the 18th or even 17th century.

And even for the powerful Suzuki Financial Group, getting this kind of red wine in the real world probably wouldn't be a simple matter.

"Games are no excuse! Red wine is still too early for a child like you, so let your Yuanzi-Barrier taste it for you."

Shengzai showed a helpless expression at his sister's dictatorship, and after Yuanzi unceremoniously finished the red wine in the glass, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Xiaolan, the taste of this red wine is really good.

That someone over there... yes, Little Mo, why don't you hurry over and pour another glass for this young lady, otherwise I'll have your whole family killed later."

Even though Yuanzi, who came from a wealthy family, had drunk plenty of high-end red wine, she couldn't help but praise it endlessly after tasting Professor Moriarty's collection.

She was even so carried away that she actually treated Colonel Moran as a waiter and asked him to pour her another glass.

Hearing Yuanzi's words, Colonel Moran's expression on the side twisted even more; he swore that if they weren't in a weak position, he would definitely torture this woman severely and then throw her into the underground black market as a prostitute!

"Yuanzi, that's enough, our age is actually not very suitable for drinking..."

Seeing Colonel Moran's ugly expression, Xiaolan whispered to comfort her best friend not to get too carried away.

Because Yuanzi entered last with Shengzai, she didn't see Colonel Moran's ruthless side earlier; the other party was someone who wouldn't hesitate to take action even against children. Her best friend's behavior of treating the other party as a waiter was clearly courting death!

"What does it matter, it's just red wine with low alcohol content, and this is a game.

You should try it too, it's really delicious. If this red wine were outside, you probably couldn't buy it even with money."

Hearing Yuanzi's words, Shengzai was speechless. His sister clearly hadn't reached the age to drink either, but she was using the game as an excuse to taste fine wine, yet he was restricted by the same excuse; it was simply too hateful!

"Hahahaha, this young lady has good taste. The collection of red wine I drink is naturally something money can't buy.

Since you are both wine lovers, and this young lady likes it so much, Moran, why don't you pour another glass for these two young ladies."

Hearing Professor Moriarty's words, Colonel Moran, who was feeling stifled, naturally had no choice but to step forward and pour wine like a waiter.

"Professor, let's not talk nonsense. Actually, our goal this time is Jack the Ripper.

According to the information left in Holmes's notes, you should have a certain connection with him, so we want you to help us catch him."

Seeing Yuanzi and the others looking unreliable, Conan jumped out from the side and stated the purpose of their trip.

"You want to find Jack the Ripper? May I know the reason? Is he someone you know? Or do you have some grudge against him?"

Hearing that Shengzai and the others were looking for him because of Jack the Ripper, Professor Moriarty was also quite surprised.

Because Jack the Ripper, as a mad killer, had no friends or relatives, and almost no social life, Professor Moriarty really couldn't figure out why Shengzai and his group, if they weren't Holmes's people, would want to find him.

Could it be that among the women Jack the Ripper killed after losing control recently, someone was a relative or friend of these people?

"We have no direct connection with Jack the Ripper. To tell you the truth, we are looking for him just to bring him to justice."

Shengzai's words made Professor Moriarty freeze again, and then he looked at Shengzai with a puzzled expression: "Someone like you would also uphold justice for those innocent people?

Or is it that the reason you want to find trouble with Jack the Ripper is just because his actions challenged your authority?"

Based on the killing intent Shengzai had just radiated, Professor Moriarty didn't think Shengzai was a good person.

Professor Moriarty even thought that the number of people who died at Shengzai's hands was probably even greater than those killed by Jack the Ripper.

And for a fierce star like Shengzai to talk about upholding justice now, in Professor Moriarty's view, it felt somewhat ironic.

"Hey, what do you mean by 'someone like you'? Old gentleman, don't talk as if my little brother is a villain who does all kinds of evil, okay?"

Hearing Yuanzi's protective retort, Professor Moriarty shook his head without refuting anything, but finally said: "Jack the Ripper was indeed a child I adopted when he was young, and it was I who trained him to be a killer to kill for me.

But because of his childhood experiences and his own personality, he has recently started to lose control.

I was already prepared to give up on him, so since you are willing to help me clean him up, I naturally won't mind.

Although he has lost control now, he will still listen to the orders I give to some extent.

Tomorrow I will leave the information about where he will kill in the newspaper. If you want to take action, try to stop him."
