Boom boom boom!
After knocking on the door, sporadic footsteps were heard, and soon the door of 221b Baker Street opened, and a blonde woman wearing a simple Victorian petticoat walked out.
"Hello, Mrs. Hudson. I'm looking for Mr. Sherlock Holmes."
Conan said with a smile.
Given his familiarity with Sherlock Holmes's mysteries...
Holmes' private life is completely unknown to him, and he can fully serve as Holmes's butler.
Based on his memory, he recognized the other person's identity at a glance.
"Holmes and Watson are not at home."
The woman said:
"They're on a business trip to Dartmoor."
"Dartmore?"
Conan was shocked:
"What day is today?"
"September 30th."
"The Hound of the Baskervilles!"
Anyone who has read the Sherlock Holmes stories knows about the Hound of the Baskervilles incident, and everyone present knows it even more clearly.
"Holmes and Watson have left London, then?"
Mao Lilan, who had been forced to indoctrinate knowledge for a long time, was worried:
"Without Sherlock Holmes, what would happen to Jack the Ripper..."
"Wait a minute, who are you..."
The woman looked at the people outside the door, and was a little confused at first. When she saw Conan, her guard suddenly dropped and she invited him warmly:
"It's you. I heard that you helped Sherlock Holmes two weeks ago. Come in and sit down. I'll make you some hot milk tea."
"Um?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment and looked at Conan.
Conan was also a little confused about the situation. He thought for a long time before reacting:
"I see. Mrs. Hudson, Holmes's landlady, must have confused me with the Baker Street Squad!"
"The Baker Street Squad is made up of a group of street kids. Under the leadership of Wiggins, they helped Sherlock Holmes solve many major cases!"
"That is the intelligence team!"
As we all know, behind every detective there is an intelligence team that works silently. The number of people may be more or less, but their importance is incomparable.
If Sherlock Holmes' intelligence team is the Baker Street Squad...
Then Conan's intelligence team is Dr. Agasa, and Sakaki Makoto's intelligence team is Kidd.
Walking through the corridor covered with patterned wallpaper, Mrs. Hudson brought Makoto Sakaki and others to Holmes' study.
On the round desk made of palm wood, feather pens and thick books were neatly placed, and an extinguished kerosene lamp sat quietly at the corner of the desk.
The laboratory table next to it was filled with test tubes, magnifying glasses and other instruments, and a rare carbon filament lamp was hung on the wall, which would only light up when needed.
Although the light bulb was invented by Goebbels in 1854, Edison had not yet improved the light bulb or established General Electric at that time. Electric lights were expensive, and the main lighting method for ordinary people was still kerosene lamps.
Even in 1883, when Edison introduced the light bulb to the United States, he was sued for infringement.
In the end, Edison only obtained a patent for the "carbon filament incandescent lamp", which was the light bulb he invented himself.
Edison was a great man, but his greatest contribution was to establish the relationship between the generator and the power generation system, which truly commercialized the electric light and allowed ordinary families in thousands of households to use electric lights.

Mrs. Hudson turned on the light on the wall, and the dark study suddenly became bright. The yellow light illuminated the room, bringing a warm feeling.
"The milk tea is ready, come and have some."
Sakaki picked up two cups of milk tea, took a sip, and then handed them to his girlfriend. At this moment...
He suddenly saw Conan squatting on a chair with his legs together, his hands clasped together against his lips, making the Sherlock Holmes pose.
"Oh, he looks like Sherlock Holmes!"
Mrs. Hudson handed over a cup of steaming milk tea with a smile.
“It’s indeed very similar…”
Staring at Conan, Mao Lilan pursed her lips.
"You guys take a break first, I'll go get some snacks."
After saying this, Mrs. Hudson closed the door and left.
After she's gone...
Sakaki Makoto, Hattori Heiji, Sawada Hiroki, and Haibara Ai moved instantly.
Time is short. It takes at least 30 seconds to get from the study to the kitchen, including the time to prepare snacks and return...
3 minutes.
They must search Sherlock Holmes' study within 3 minutes for information about Jack the Ripper and London.
I guess this is also one of the necessary conditions for completing the game.
In a puzzle game like this, no small clue can be missed.
The troops were divided into four groups: Sakaki Makoto and Sawada Hiroki explored the room, Hattori Heiji and Haibara Ai looked through the documents on the table, and Mouri Ran drank milk tea and watched Conan. No one was idle.
Time passed by minute by minute, and everyone moved very quickly. Haibara Ai could read a hundred lines at a glance, and the pages were turning loudly. She could finish a book in just ten seconds, which shocked Hattori Heiji who was standing next to her.
"What are you looking at me for? Hurry up and find the information!"
"Ah... yes!"
Hattori Heiji muttered to himself, "How fierce!" and quickly lowered his head to flip through the book.
Kala...
Opening the desk drawer, Makoto Sakaki found a revolver, the Remington M1858!
The polished walnut handle, brass trigger guard, steel revolver, narrow barrel like an eagle's beak, simple pattern, red and silver color matching...
It's an antique!
Even Makoto Sakaki had never touched this antique revolver before, he had only heard of it.
