Chapter 373

"We will stay in the United States for three years - no, to be precise, it should be two and a half years." After getting new information from William, Kirshtalia stood opposite Lansemello, "So, do we still have to find a way to investigate the current situation of Professor William who is hidden by the US Department of Justice?"

"Before Professor William here wakes up again."

"We can put William aside for now." Lansemero put down the pen in his hand and made arrangements with Kirshtalia, "Let's shift the focus to Sherlock next - William said that this mission is to prepare for the future Detective Conan world. In addition to the MI6 records in the UK, there should be related things in the United States that we need to record."

"After all, if it was really unrelated, Sherlock wouldn't have asked us to move from the UK to the US without William's knowledge; and William wouldn't have been able to return to the control room as if nothing had happened afterwards - and he took the initiative to tell us what mission we were preparing for, which means that the records in the US are quite important in some sense..."

"Considering that the American records will be helpful to us in carrying out future missions in the Detective Conan world—" Kirshtalia touched his chin, and from his distant memory he recalled the image of a sniper. "The person who picked up Mr. Sherlock and Professor William... couldn't it be the FBI?"

"After all, when he was in England, Moriarty's 'M' was also MI6's 'M'."

"Although it is normal for events related to William and others to have large time errors, certain established orders will not change." Lansemello sighed and looked at Kirshtalia helplessly, "Just like the United States will always be a country that evolved from Britain's colonies in North America--"

"So the FBI in the United States has not been established yet." Kirshtalia quickly extracted the correct answer from Lansemello's words, "I remember that Chaldea is nominally a spy agency established by the United Nations, and it records the basic information of intelligence and spy agencies of various countries in its database."

"And the FBI's basic data says that in the beginning, the FBI was a team of dozens of detectives."

"They say it records the intelligence and spy agencies of various countries, but the parts we have are only the parts that are usually open to the public." Lansemero picked up the pen again and asked Kirshtalia, "Do you remember which department of the US government the FBI is under?"

“The United States Department of Justice,” Kirshtalia replied.

"Then, back to the original question—" Lansemello tapped the table, looked up at Kirshtalia, and asked again, "In the United States, including above the vast North Atlantic Ocean... who has the qualifications, courage, and ability to conceal the news that 'someone who should have died' is still alive in the world?"

“Only those in the ‘judiciary’ who are responsible for interpreting the law,” Kirshtalia replied.

"...You should still remember what the initial work of the FBI was written in that document, right?" Lansemero chuckled and made the question more specific. "Or, you should remember why the FBI was established, right?"

"Illegal land transactions in the western United States." Kirshtalia blinked. "Billy the Kid was born in the West. Detective, the American West, and the U.S. Department of Justice... The answer is undoubtedly the FBI. Professor William and Mr. Sherlock really hid a lot of things and didn't tell us."

"They really have hidden a lot of things." Lansemero turned around, took out a book and handed it to Kirshtalia. "Olga's identity does not allow you to leave too far. You are the most suitable person to go to the West. Although you are required to stay in the United States for three years, there is only one thing we need to record here before the time of "The Adventure of the Empty House" comes."

"Did Professor William tell you even this?!" Kirshtalia took the book and looked at Lansemello in surprise.

"He didn't say that, but it's not hard to guess." Lansermero stood up and walked to the window, looking at the busy streets outside. "After all, in The Last Case, he obviously has completely lost the will to live - so the story we want to record next in the United States is very clear."

“‘Living towards death’ – he will find the motivation to live and atone for his sins in America.”

"This is what we need to record. William once again gained the motivation to live. Then we should be able to go back..." Lansemello thought for a moment and looked back at Kirshtalia. "After all, they didn't tell me that they would be returning to England, so we should be done with recording here in the United States."

"Then I'll go first."

Kirshtalia nodded, pulled out Holmes, who had been lying down for many years, and left New York alone to go to the western United States to investigate land disputes. By the way, he compared the "fate" of Billy the Kid to find the land that is most likely to cause a major incident due to land disputes within three years.

"Mr. Sherlock, who lives in Brooklyn, left his residence in a hurry." After a while, Olgamari stood in front of Lansemello and reported her observations of Sherlock Holmes today. She watched Lansemello's appearance constantly changing because of the synchronization with Moriarty. "Billy the Kid also left with Mr. Sherlock - Professor William should be the only one left in the house in Brooklyn..."

"I don't plan to visit William directly." Lansemero fixed his appearance on the fake identity corresponding to the name "Vivian". "It will only make sense if William, who has taken the initiative to come out of the 'closed heart' of that house, sees me again - otherwise he will really treat me as a witch who is collecting prices."

"Although he has woken up and has been brought into a new life by Sherlock - but William will not really give up the option of death until he finds a practical way to act."

"So, what was the reason Sherlock and Billy the Kid left Brooklyn in such a hurry?"

"The company that once bought the land of Billy the Kid's hometown has been selected by the U.S. government as a target for punishment." Olgamari took a sip of water and continued to report what she had overheard. "That company caused the death of Billy the Kid's best friend. Moreover, when this company tried to buy Billy the Kid's hometown, his best friend dueled with him to protect him."

"Billy the Kid became a dead man after the duel, and was stuffed into the Pinkerton private detective company by the U.S. Department of Justice and began to work for them."

"Pinkerton..." Sitting in the control room, Marisbee used the automatic search program to look through the database. "Before the FBI appeared, the US government often commissioned these private detective companies to handle various incidents for them. The representative of them was Pinkerton. I didn't expect that the Pinkerton in this world was directly established by the US Department of Justice."

"But... well, it's true. If I go out now, I should be able to wait for William soon." Lancer Melo tightened his gloves and walked to the full-length mirror against the wall. "After all, William is the type who will wander around when he has something on his mind. But my identity as a widow is not suitable for me to move around outside. And if I want to meet William, Vivian is the most suitable."

"Are you going out?" Marinelli asked Lancello.

"Well." Lansemello put on his coat and turned his head to look at the projection of Marinesbury. "If possible, please inform William for me - I think he needs to see himself at this stage with his own eyes."

"You said you were going out to wait for William, but why did you go to the department store first?" Since Lancermero had never left the base since coming to the United States, Moriarty, who had been forced to stay quiet for a long time, became active during this outing. "He just went to the department store with Sherlock to buy things."

"We've been apart for a long time, so I should bring him some gifts." Lansemero pressed down the brim of his hat, walked through the shelves full of goods, and took a product from a shelf with a clear purpose, "This size should be just right for him and Sherlock's home, and it won't take up too much space... and I should also add a little "blessing" that only fairies can give."

By the time Lansermero had prepared the gift, William James Moriarty, who had sneaked out of his home and ran to Manhattan, met a girl who had sneaked in here to prepare a gift for her mother. The girl was at a loss because she had lost the gift she had prepared carefully. William James Moriarty quickly built a closer relationship with the girl because they had also sneaked out, and he accompanied the girl to look for the lost gift.

"Let's go to the end of the stagecoach station and wait." Lansemello, who was standing by the window, raised his hand and adjusted the brim of his hat, just missing William James Moriarty, who turned his head to check the situation because he noticed someone's sight and cast a look into the building. "The child forgot the gift he prepared on the stagecoach - they will definitely go to the lost and found office there in the end."

"...Thank you." The little girl held the wrapped gift and smiled as she thanked William James Moriarty for helping her. "Thank you, William!"

But William James Moriarty was stunned when he heard her heartfelt thanks.

"So that's how it is. This is the first step." Lansemello leaned against the wall and looked down at the gift in his hand. He recalled the memories of the fairy kingdom. "Because I was thanked, I had the motivation to do this... ah, even the queen is the same."

So, instead of going up to greet William immediately after the girl left, Lansemero threw the gift at the door of William and Sherlock's home in Brooklyn.

"Is it really okay to leave like this?" Moriarty asked her.

"Since it's William, there will be no problem." Lansemello chuckled and walked towards the base.
