"We haven't spotted any suspicious people since we arrived at the opera house. Jack the Ripper wants to assassinate Irene Adler. Will he use a long-range attack method?"
After a round of inspection, Conan said:
"For example, sniping or something like that."
"If you want to snipe Irene Adler standing on the stage, you need to stand on a high place..."
Sakaki Makoto looked at the VIP area on the second floor. It was full of people. If Jack the Ripper had a rifle, it would have caused a sensation.
Besides...
Irene Adler stood on the empty stage, keeping a safe distance from the audience. Makoto Sakaki was not worried that Jack the Ripper would use a revolver to assassinate her.
First of all, Jack the Ripper never used a revolver in history. The specific reason is not clear, maybe it's just personal preference.
Secondly...
Revolvers of this era were too inaccurate, had many minor flaws, and were unreliable.
If the shot misses, wouldn't it alert the enemy?
Since Jack the Ripper was an 'elite' trained by Professor Moriarty, he would not have chosen such a stupid assassination method.
"Jack the Ripper always used a dagger when committing crimes, and this time should be no exception."
Hattori Heiji stepped forward and said:
"I doubt..."
"He might wait until the opera is over before carrying out the assassination."
"No, that's not right."
Kidd immediately shook his head and denied Hattori's statement:
"Think about it carefully. Professor Moriarty has come to watch the show. Why would Jack the Ripper wait until the show is over before taking action?"
"In the final analysis, Professor Moriarty's idea is to let Irene Adler die in public. This way, it can cause a widespread public outcry and affect Sherlock Holmes!"
"I guess..."
"Jack the Ripper would have disguised himself as an actor and committed the crime in public when he was close to Irene Adler, or he would have thought of some way to make Irene Adler go to him on her own initiative."
"Um?"
After hearing this reasoning, Sakaki Makoto, Conan, and Hattori were all stunned.
What Kidd said made sense, but given Jack the Ripper's style, it was unlikely that he would kill people in public. On the contrary, it would be more feasible for Irene Adler to take the initiative to go to him if it was the latter.
So here comes the question...
How did Jack the Ripper ensure that Irene Adler would come to him?
The performance reached its climax, a magnificent and sad song sounded, Tosca picked up a dagger, stabbed the police chief in the chest, and ran madly towards her lover standing on the execution platform...
The audience held their breath and watched this scene intently.
For art, for love.
"you..."
After thinking for a long time, Conan suddenly said:
"Do you still remember Moriya Teiji?"
"Remember."
It can be said that the name of Teiji Moriya is firmly engraved in the hearts of Makoto Sakaki and Ai.
This is a madman! A complete madman!
Because the building structures I designed are not completely symmetrical, I have to use bombs to blow them all up...
For him, art is symmetry and explosion!
Fortunately, Sakaki Makoto was lucky, otherwise he would have been defeated by that madman Moritani Teiji!
but...
To be honest, after escaping, Sakaki Makoto was quite grateful to others. The bomb was just a catalyst that allowed him and Gong... Wait, a bomb?
When talking about bombs, we have to mention the powerful nitroglycerin.
If the power of TNT is compared to 100...
The strength of nitroglycerin is 140.
In 1860, a great man in the history of science began to study nitroglycerin explosives.
The biggest drawback of nitroglycerin is that it is not stable enough, is sensitive to vibration, and is likely to explode during transportation. However, thanks to the research of this great man, he used the "warm method" in 1862 to subdue the dangerous nitroglycerin, making it safe to produce.
So far, this great man has been on a roll. In 1865, he established a gunpowder company and developed a new type of detonator. In 1867, he established gunpowder companies in various European countries, pushing the explosives business to its peak. In 1878, he invented plastic explosives. In May of the same year, he joined the oil industry and established an oil company....
He is the famous Alfred Bernhard Nobel.
It is 1888 in London, and plastic explosives have been invented for a full ten years...
“Mad!”
Sakaki Makoto scratched his hair angrily. He finally understood why Jack the Ripper had never shown up, because there was no need for him to show up!
"Jack the Ripper was going to use eight eggs!"
"What?!"
Everyone except Conan was shocked.
If Jack the Ripper had used a bomb...
It’s impossible to guard against!
Sakaki Makoto grabbed a staff member, grabbed his pocket watch and looked at it. He found that there were still 30 seconds until 9 o'clock, and shouted:
"There's no time, just take Irene Adler away!"
No one knows where Jack the Ripper placed the bomb, let alone when it will explode. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to act in advance.
Even if...
To do so would interrupt the performance.
Conan was the first to rush onto the stage. In full view of everyone, he grabbed Irene Adler's arm and ran backstage.
"Hey, you..."
Seeing this, all the backstage staff were stunned and quickly stopped Conan, asking him to let go of Irene Adler.
Just then...
The time bomb hidden in the opera house...exploded.
