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

Chapter 260 Professor Moriarty

"Put down the bottle, and I can let you leave here safely."

Meng Lang threatened in a low voice. In his opinion, even if Qian Chuanyu could use alcohol to blackmail him, it would be absolutely impossible for him to leave peacefully. Therefore, he could try to negotiate.

But to his surprise, Asakawa Yu simply shook his head indifferently after hearing those words.

"You can't say that, Mr. Meng Lang. You have to understand that we are in the stronger position right now. Besides, who knows if you will let us leave as agreed after I give you the wine?"

Upon hearing Asakawa Yu's words, Meng Lang instantly turned red with anger.

He could no longer contain himself, pulled a pistol from his pocket, pointed it at Asakawa Yu's head, and said viciously:

"Put the wine down right now, or I'll accuse you of flipping the table!"

The tense atmosphere caused everyone present to turn serious, while Conan and Akemi looked at Asakawa Yu with concern.

But Asakawa Yu remained completely unperturbed, instead leisurely shaking the bottle of wine in her hand.

"Sure, you can shoot as you please, but the safety of this bottle of wine... well, that's another story."

"hateful……"

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as the atmosphere was becoming increasingly tense, the back door of the club was pushed open.

Everyone looked back and saw an old man who was completely covered up, wearing a black hat and a black coat, walk in.

"Excuse me, everyone, Professor Moriarty says he wants to see you all."

Although the old man's tone was very calm, everyone's expression changed instantly the moment they heard Professor Moriarty's name.

“Professor Moriarty…” Xiaolan murmured.

The old man tugged at his hat, obscuring his face, and said, "He said he's waiting for you all in the carriage. Please come this way."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and gestured for everyone to follow him.

Just as Asakawa Yu and the others were about to leave behind the old man, Meng Lang suddenly called out, "Please wait a moment!"

But the next second, the old man turned around and looked back. "You want to disobey Professor Moriarty's orders, don't you?"

Stared at like that, Meng Lang seemed to have seen something shocking and worldly. The expression of shock on his face became even more intense, followed by resentment, but in the end he dared not say anything more.

And so, all of Asakawa Yu's members walked out with the old man without being eliminated.

Asakawa Yu, who was following behind the old man, had his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

As they approached a carriage, the old man sitting inside said, "Thank you for your trouble. Now, sir, please hand over that bottle of red wine to me."

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Asakawa Yu.

Just when they thought Asakawa Yu would hand the red wine directly to Professor Moriarty, Asakawa Yu, contrary to his usual behavior, did not make any move.

"Boss, Professor Moriarty wants to see you..."

Akemi thought Asakawa Yu hadn't heard her clearly, so she was about to remind her boyfriend, but the next second, she heard Asakawa Yu speak:

"Indeed, this bottle of red wine should be returned to its rightful owner. However, I think the person I should give it to is this old gentleman here, right?"

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at him in utter disbelief.

Akemi's eyes widened in shock.

"Boss, you mean... this guy over here is the real Professor Moriarty?!"

"Hehe, sir, you can't just say things like that."

The 'Professor Moriarty' in the carriage tried to warn Asakawa Yu, but Asakawa Yu wasn't afraid of such things at all.

At that moment, Conan, who was standing next to Asakawa Yu, also keenly sensed something.

He sniffed the air, and immediately a peculiar smell caught his attention.

"Brother Asakawa, what are you saying?" Xiaolan was a little anxious. She knew that they were facing Professor Moriarty, not some random nobody on the street.

Asakawa Yu shook her head, then looked down at Conan.

"Did you notice it?"

Conan confidently adjusted his glasses. "Yes, just like you said, I understand everything now."

"Conan..."

“I think this must be a question that Professor Moriarty set to test us, right?” Asakawa Yu said.

"Because the real Professor Moriarty should be... here!"

Everyone looked in the direction Conan was pointing, and saw that he was pointing to the old man who had just led them out.

"I bet the professor used ventriloquism to say those things just now, right?"

As Conan finished speaking, the old man suddenly let out a sinister laugh.

"Hmph! I didn't expect you two to see through me, but how did you know?"

Moriarty looked at Asakawa Yu and Conan with interest and asked.

“It’s very simple. Just now, inside the house, Colonel Meng Lang said to this old gentleman, ‘Wait for me.’”

“I understand! Because Colonel Monlang only uses honorifics when speaking to Professor Moriarty, right?”

Akemi had an "I understand" look on her face and began to share her insights.

Asakawa Yu nodded. "That's right."

“And another thing,” Conan added, “I’ve heard that Professor Moriarty is a fashionable old man who uses natural vanilla-based colognes.”

"So you smelled this scent on this old gentleman when you were just approaching him, right?"

As Ai Haibara said this, a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Yes." Conan nodded in agreement.

Wow, wow!

Wow, this picture is practically tailor-made for Conan and Asakawa Hayao!

[Yeah, it's practically a detective's stage, but it seems like there's a non-detective detective mixed in here, don't you think? doge]

[@Asakawa Yu, my brother is tagged you!]

"Clap! Clap! Clap!" Professor Moriarty clapped his hands and couldn't help but praise, "Wow, that's amazing! It's just like watching Sherlock Holmes as a child and as a young man."

Professor Moriarty was lavish in his praise.

However, compared to Asakawa Yu, he cared more about this boy. It was rare to see a child his age who was also so smart.

"But speaking of which, what do you want from me?"

Finally, after a fierce battle, the group returned to their original destination.

"We want to ask you about Jack the Ripper..."

Asakawa Yu asked the question that they were most concerned about on this trip...
