"Hmm..."
The red wine stopped shaking, and the ripples gradually subsided. Professor Moriarty tapped the silver snake's head with his old fingers, and after thinking for a long time, he said:
"This is the first time anyone has said this about me, not even Sherlock Holmes."
"But I have to admit that your words make me happy... Are those people hiding in the back your friends?"
Sakaki Makoto slowly turned around and happened to see Sawada Hiroki and others who were hiding behind the counter quickly retracting their heads like a group of frightened deer.
Not only Sawada Hiroki, but even Hattori, Kid, Conan and Mao Li Ran are there.
"I knew I was going to be discovered..."
Huibara Ai sighed helplessly. She had tried to persuade her but to no avail.
Who wouldn't want to meet the mysterious 'Napoleon', Holmes' greatest enemy, Professor Moriarty?
In a sense, Professor Moriarty is more attractive to Conan than Sherlock Holmes.
"Yes, they are my friends."
Sakaki Makoto turned his head and took a sip of red wine:
"You can rest assured that they won't leak anything about your professor."
"Let's just get on with talking about Jack the Ripper and not waste each other's time."
Professor Moriarty raised his hand to stop Colonel Moran and his men who were about to arrest people, and said with interest:
"Jack the Ripper was an orphan I found in the slums. But...even though he was an orphan abandoned by his mother and wandering the streets, I could see his talent as a criminal at first sight."
"Under my training, he quickly became a first-class killer. Then one day..."
“He’s out of control.”
Looking at the chandelier above his head, Professor Moriarty said calmly:
"You are right. I have planned many crimes, but I have always maintained a law-abiding heart. This world needs rules. Kindness is just a label that people who think they are in the light give themselves."
“A truly kind person will not think that he is kind. Those who think they are kind have already made a judgment on good and evil. From that moment on, they have lost their kindness and put on a hypocritical mask.”
“It’s the same even for Sherlock Holmes, who is admired by the world.”
At this point, Professor Moriarty suddenly changed the subject:
"If you want to catch Jack the Ripper, I'd like to lend you a hand."
"Um?"
Sakaki Makoto was stunned for a moment:
"How can you help me?"
"Although Jack the Ripper is out of control, he will still obey my orders if I give them. You just need to wait for him at the scene in advance."
Professor Moriarty sneered:
"Criminals who don't follow the rules are just chaotic evil, demons that have completely fallen into hell, and pleasure criminals. Sooner or later, they will betray me. I don't need such men."
"I will put a message in the advertisement column of tomorrow's Sunday Times. Whether you can catch him depends on your ability... Moran."
"yes."
Colonel Moran, who had been silent for a long time, walked up to Sakaki Makoto, picked up the Remington M1858, and after carefully examining it, nodded:
"It is indeed Holmes's gun."
"Give him your revolver."
"Huh?"
Colonel Moran's body trembled, and he covered the golden revolver at his waist:
"Professor, I spent a lot of money to customize this gun..."
"Give it to him. Jack the Ripper is a tough opponent and he is armed. If they want to fight, both sides should be on the same starting line."
"....yes."
After much hesitation, Colonel Moran reluctantly pulled out his revolver and placed it in front of Sakaki Makoto.
Picking up the gun, Sakaki discovered that Colonel Moran's revolver was the same model as Holmes's, both were Remington M1858, the only difference was...
It was Colonel Moran's revolver, plated with gold.
The conversation ended, and just as Makoto Sakaki stood up and prepared to leave the club...
"May I have your name?"
Professor Moriarty's voice came from behind:
"Besides Holmes, you are the second person who knows me so well."
"I'm just a negotiator, and now I have your heart, Professor."
With a smile, Makoto Sakaki left the club without looking back.
"Professor, should we put them..."
Colonel Moran held his palm downwards, his eyes fierce.
Professor Moriarty's identity remains a mystery and will not and cannot be made public.
Even Sherlock Holmes could only fight with Professor Moriarty from a distance. As the big boss hiding behind the scenes, the moment he showed up, that would be his death.
"No, let them go."
Professor Moriarty looked at the revolver in his hand which belonged to Holmes and said:
"Sherlock Holmes and I are actually the same kind of people. If he were the only one in the world, I would feel very lonely, and vice versa. Now there is one more person... It is a big thing worth celebrating."
"but..."
"It's time to settle the feud between Sherlock Holmes and me."
.........................................
“Nonsense!”
At the back door of the poker club, Sakaki Makoto scolded sternly:
"We finally rescued the people, how could you expose yourselves?"
"What if Professor Moriarty and I fail to reach an agreement and a fight breaks out?"
"Just come if you want, why bring Xiao Ai along?"
"............"
