"Oh no! Deya was too slow and was spotted by the police!"

In the dark alley, a gun was pointed at the carriage. Kidd stared at the situation outside and said quickly:

"The police have already called for backup. If we wait a little longer, they will arrive and we won't be able to leave even if we want to!"

The situation was not optimistic. Two patrol policemen stopped Deya and kept asking him about his situation, which made it impossible for Deya to escape, let alone steal a car and run away.

The box carriage is an important means of transportation. Without it, Sakaki and his companions can only walk to Baskerville Manor, across the small town of Dartmoor...

By the time we get there, it will probably be daybreak.

What the hell are you doing!

If you want to escape successfully, you must leave before other police officers arrive at the station.

As for the method of stripping and disguising oneself that was used before in Scotland Yard, it would not work this time. Dartmoor is a small town with few police officers and they all know each other. The sudden appearance of two unfamiliar faces would definitely arouse their suspicion.

While everyone was nervously thinking about countermeasures, Jack the Ripper, who was lying in the cart, woke up slowly, looked around, and roughly understood the situation on the scene.

He was very smart and did not make any loud noise. Otherwise, if Sakaki Makoto and the others were caught by the police, he would not be able to escape and his fate might be even worse than theirs.

"Officer, our horse-drawn carriage is broken, so we have no choice but to use a cargo carriage as a replacement..."

The cold wind blew in the street. Deya's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He smiled awkwardly:

"I have no choice. The master is in a hurry, so I can only take this carriage."

"The carriage broke down?"

The two policemen looked at each other and asked in confusion:

"I remember that Lord Baskerville had several carriages at home. Are they all broken down?"

"As you know, Mr. Holmes has been working on a case at Lord Baskerville's house recently, so one carriage must be kept at home. The other carriage broke its axle due to the rain two days ago, and it is being urgently repaired!"

Deya knew that time was running out and was eager to get out of this situation:

"You two, Sir Baskerville is still waiting for me at home. If there is nothing else, we will go first..."

With doubts, the two policemen checked the carriage and found that it was empty and there was no possibility of hiding anyone, so they made way.

They gave way but did not go far. They stood aside waiting for their companions to arrive. Facing Jack the Ripper, no one dared to be careless.

Now Deya was confused. Under other people's noses, it was impossible for him to get on the carriage successfully unless Sakaki Makoto and his companions knew how to become invisible.

Time passed by, and the police were about to gather around...

Boom!

In the darkness, a stone suddenly shot out and hit a policeman's high helmet hard, making a dull sound.

"who?!"

The two policemen turned around instantly and looked into the dark alley.

After a slight hesitation, they did not act rashly. Instead, they began to slowly retreat, raising their pistols vigilantly and pointing them at the alley entrance.

"Mad, these two are not stupid!"

Seeing this scene, Kidd's scalp tingled. This was different from what they had agreed!

According to common sense, they should have immediately walked into the alley to investigate and then been knocked unconscious by them!

But...

In this hellishly difficult game, even the NPCs’ IQ has increased, and they don’t play by the rules at all.

There was really no other way, Sakaki Makoto could only look at Conan and say:

"It's time for you to come on stage."

"I?"

Conan was stunned:

"How do I get out?"

"Jack the Ripper is an adult, and you are a child. The police will not shoot you without a thorough investigation, so... please run out and lead the police to this alley."

"....Are you sure you don't want me to die?"

"Of course, I will ensure your safety."

"Every police officer says this when asking a prisoner to surrender, and what's the result?"

"...You are going or not. If you don't go, let Hong Shu go up."

The sound of gunfire would attract more police and expose their position, so Sakaki Makoto could not shoot, nor could he let the police shoot.

Time was running out, Conan scratched his hair, he couldn't let a child younger than him face the gun!

Struggling again and again...

Conan stood up, picked up a stone, and walked out of the alley.

In the darkness, a little child in a suit walked out. Two policemen were holding kerosene lamps. They couldn't see Conan's face clearly, but they recognized it was a child at a glance, and their vigilance immediately dropped.

"Who are you and what are you doing there?"

Conan weighed the stone, raised his hand and threw it!

Boom!

The stone hit the high helmets, angering the two policemen.

Before they could speak...

Conan ran away.

“Don’t run!!”

The two policemen immediately chased after him, but they were so angry that they didn't realize...

I was getting closer and closer to the alley entrance.

When they arrived at the alley...

Four arms suddenly stretched out from the dark alley, accurately grabbed their collars, and dragged them into the alley.

Plop!

Plop!

The sudden change left both the driver and Deya dumbfounded.

After knocking out the two policemen, Makoto Sakaki and his companions walked straight out of the alley. Ran Mouri, Kidd and the other three were responsible for carrying Jack the Ripper onto the carriage, while Makoto Sakaki came in front of Deya and the coachman.

"You...you are not..."

With the help of the cold moonlight, the driver finally saw the person coming. His eyes suddenly widened and he hurriedly reached for the pistol at his waist, but...

Sakaki Makoto was one step faster than him. He swung the butt of the gun from bottom to top in a semicircle and hit the driver's jaw on the spot.

The driver slowly fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

"Throw it into the alley, and be quick!"

Deya acted quickly, grabbed the driver by his arms, and threw him into the alley, stacking him on top of the unconscious policeman.

Then he jumped onto the carriage, whipped the reins, and the carriage squeaked forward with a neighing sound.

Shortly after the carriage left the street in front of the station...

When the police heard the whistle, they rushed out from all directions and ran towards the station.

"Finally escaped..."

Deya, who was controlling the reins, breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was relieved a little.

He glanced at Sakaki Makoto beside him and said hesitantly:

"Are we really going to Lord Baskerville's estate?"

"There are at least 30 people lying in ambush there, including Colonel Moran. If we go there with just a few of us, we'll be killed!"

"Didn't you think the same thing when you were on the train?"

Sakaki struck a match, lit up a Somme cigarette, leaned back in the driver's seat, and said expressionlessly:

"Only when both sides are equal in strength will numbers change the outcome of the war."

"We need the help of Sherlock Holmes to find where Professor Moriarty is hiding. Of course, Colonel Moran might know it too."

There was murderous intent in his words. Deya shrank his neck and concentrated on driving to Baskerville Manor.
