“I don’t understand human nature?”
Suddenly, Professor Moriarty burst into laughter, and even tears came out of his eyes.
The sound from inside the house attracted the attention of the conductor. He turned around and saw Sakaki Makoto through the glass. He was so scared that he drew his gun and rushed in:
"Professor! Are you okay?"
"Put down the gun."
Professor Moriarty waved his hand disapprovingly:
"We are talking, please don't interrupt us."
"yes..."
The conductor had no choice but to lower his gun and stand behind the professor with his hands behind his back, never daring to let his guard down.
"You just said that I don't understand human nature?"
Professor Moriarty brought the topic back:
"Then let me tell you, human nature is a collection of greed, lust, rage, jealousy, laziness, gluttony, arrogance...all kinds of desires!"
"I have seen too many people like this, including you, who is also one of the seven deadly sins."
"oh?"
Sakaki Makoto was a little curious now:
"Let me ask you, which of the seven deadly sins am I?"
"fury!"
Professor Moriarty said without hesitation:
"Unreasonable anger, revenge, the desire to punish others beyond the power granted by the law, excessive vigilance... these are all considered rage!"
"And you are arrogant and don't seem to care about God. This is the worst sin!"
"Are you a Catholic?"
"I believe in science. Religion is just something people made up to rule the masses. But I have to admit that some of the teachings are correct..."
After a moment's hesitation, Professor Moriarty added:
"That's why I became a mathematics professor. Numbers are the truth. They can express everything in the world."
“If you believe in numbers so much, why do you judge others by the teachings of religion?”
Sakaki Makoto said calmly:
"Because you suffered a severe blow today..."
"This blow is so severe that even the beliefs you have always upheld have begun to waver."
"Karasuma Renya, it should be related to him."
"yes..."
"How can there be a person in this world who would remain indifferent after being betrayed by his own students?"
His zygomatic muscles twitched slightly and Professor Moriarty's eyes became completely gloomy.
The conductor standing behind him opened his eyes wide with surprise.
Was the professor hit hard?
He doesn't believe it.
"You're talking nonsense!"
The train conductor pointed at Sakaki Makoto's nose and said angrily:
"The professor knew that Karasuma Renya would betray him!"
"This is all the professor's plan. You've all fallen into it!"
Snap...Snap...Snap...
Sakaki Makoto clapped his hands and looked at the silent Professor Moriarty with a half-smile, and said:
"Mr. Conductor, do you know the difference between predictions and facts?"
"the difference?"
The conductor was stunned for a moment:
"Prediction is to make an estimate before something happens, and facts are what has already happened. Predictions may be wrong, but facts cannot! This is the difference between them!"
"Well said, predictions can be wrong, facts can't..."
Sakaki Makoto smiled and said:
"Professor Moriarty is probably hoping that his prediction is wrong..."
"He didn't want to see Karasuma Renya betray him at all, but when the facts were laid out before him, he had to admit his foresight, and at the same time he was very sad. His foresight made him suffer in his heart, which was more painful than the sudden blow!"
"Before the fact happened, I'm afraid Professor Moriarty had been paralyzing himself in his heart, saying that Karasuma Renya was his student, that he was very kind to him, and that he would never betray him. Unfortunately... the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment."
"Professor, I'm afraid you are sitting here with the intention of dying..."
"A well-planned leader of the underground world, after learning that the matter was exposed, instead of leaving, he stayed..."
Grabbing the cigarette box in front of the professor, Sakaki lit a cigarette with the candlestick on the table, leaned back, and said calmly:
"Whether it's me or Holmes sitting here today, you will detonate the explosives hidden around the pub and die together."
"Using yourself as bait is a great move, Professor Moriarty..."
"If you knew it was a trap, why did you come?"
Professor Moriarty raised his head, his grey eyes devoid of any warmth:
"Holmes is a clever man. I guess he must have found an excuse to stay near the manor."
"Because I promised Brother Hattori that I would bury you with Jack the Ripper..."
Sakaki Makoto raised his head and exhaled a puff of bluish-white smoke, then raised his revolver:
"Colonel Moran is so pitiful..."
"You used me to get rid of him in order to leave a final fortune for Karasuma Renya. At the same time, you also brought the only person who knew the truth with you. In this way..."
"No one will know that Karasuma Renye betrayed you. After your death, he can naturally take over the London underworld and fulfill his great dream."
Hearing this, the conductor took two steps back in disbelief and stammered:
"Professor... is what he said true?"
Professor Moriarty did not reply to him, but his tense face told the answer clearly.
This was Professor Moriarty's last words. He was determined to die, and with the intention of clearing the obstacles for Karasuma Renya, he set the final trap.
