Chapter 428

"...Are you really here to listen to the detective solve the case?" El-Melloi II twirled his cigar and looked at Lancermello.

"Have you heard of that?" Lansermero leaned against the railing on the second floor, casually swinging the wine glass in his hand, "It's a technology that will be included in an identification system related to Interpol."

"…What does this have to do with Chaldea?" El-Melloi II paused and asked Lancer-Melloi.

"You, don't you care at all about where your students are going?" Lansermello looked at El-Melloi II in surprise and strengthened the soundproof magic barrier he had set up. "Koles was taken there by Mujik to be an engineer. In addition, many of the guys in the Chaldean Engineering Department also joined because they were interested..."

"I only heard that it's a facial recognition system used to assist in solving cases." El-Melloi II replied to Lancermello, blowing off the smoke from his cigar.

"I think this is about the content you can access." Lansemello sighed helplessly, "Have you read the encrypted mission log that Corless sent a few days ago?"

"Not yet." El-Melloi II turned on the Chaldean communicator and checked the mission log uploaded by Corless. "So, is there any problem?"

"I'm not sure about the specific ownership of that system, but according to Colles, if this system and that technology are put into formal use, it will bring us a lot of trouble." Lansemero looked down, and after not finding Edogawa Conan, he casually retracted his gaze, "and it will also bring trouble to the protagonists of this world."

"'Cross-age facial recognition'..." El-Melloi II looked at the contents of the mission log and fell silent.

"We have no past and will not age." Lancer Melo paused and added, "At least most of the members who are still active now did not have a past before 2013. William mentioned earlier that Rum would personally investigate Maori Kogoro - considering that Rum will continue to be active in Japan, at least while the system with this technology is still in Europe, we will not encounter great danger."

"In fact, I have already mentioned this technology to Maris."

"What did the astronomy monarch say?"

"Chaldea is at least an official international organization - although it has not yet started formal operations."

When the Knights of the Round Table finished their round table meeting and entered the banquet hall one by one, some detectives who had already confirmed the case data took the initiative to stop Galahad, who had discovered the first body, to confirm the situation.

"...What? Are you concerned about the situation at the round table?" Watson leaned back in his chair and looked at the banquet on the first floor, while asking Conan Edogawa, "Ah, do you need me to introduce their names and identities to you in particular?"

"Is this okay? Generally speaking, isn't the identity of an agent kept secret from the outside world?" Conan Edogawa looked at Watson in surprise, trying to pull his thoughts out of the clueless case data.

"It's okay." Watson smiled and reminded Conan, "You know more than just a few of these guys with subtle identities, right? A few more shouldn't matter."

"That being said..." Conan Edogawa sighed helplessly, "But next I still have to trouble Dr. Watson to introduce it to me."

"First, let me start with the position of the Round Table in MI5." Watson flipped through many pages of his notebook. "Although they are called MI5 agents, it is actually only because McCoff does not care about foreign countries. After all, MI6 is the base of our own Moriarty."

"The reason is that even if there is a big incident in the country, McCoff can help cover it up. Everyone in the Round Table was assigned to MI5. They belong to MI5 only in name, and are essentially an independent organization. But the Round Table, like MI5, does not have the power to arrest people, and needs the cooperation of the Scottish Yard 'British Police'."

"Then, let me explain the internal positioning of the Round Table to you." Watson glanced at the detectives who were gathered around the Knights of the Round Table downstairs, and continued to introduce to Conan Edogawa, "Although the legend says that there were 150 Knights in the heyday of the Round Table, and the most famous of them were a total of 12...but here we use the version with 15 seats, including King Arthur and Merlin."

"Although there are only fifteen seats, there are also vacant seats and seats with two people at the same time - however, they are just like the legendary round table, and there is no distinction between high and low status in the round table meeting."

"This time, I will skip the vacant seats and introduce you to those seats that are occupied."

"First, there is 'King Arthur' - in addition to the Arthur I told you about before, there is also Artoria." Watson motioned Conan to look downstairs, "Did you see it? The blond man and blond girl standing there who look like brother and sister are Arthur Pendragon and Artoria Pendragon, who are led by 'King Arthur'."

"Then, it's Lancelot... huh? He's not going to Moriarty's bar to consult about paternity again, is he? He's failed so many times under that guy's guidance, why hasn't he given up yet!?!"

"…Huh? Could you explain that, Dr. Watson?"

"Well, are you talking about Moriarty?" Watson gave up the idea of ​​looking for Lancelot upstairs, cleared his throat and answered Conan Edogawa, "Just like you know two Sherlock Holmes, there are also two Watsons, but there are actually three Sherlock Holmes - although Will should have mentioned to you that there are quite a few people in the Moriarty family, right?"

"But I haven't met anyone from the Moriarty family except Professor William." Conan Edogawa answered Watson with his face in his hands.

"Well, Conan-kun, you should read the international news, right?" Watson asked Conan Edogawa.

"Yeah, but I don't read as much news as the domestic news in Japan." Conan Edogawa replied.

"Then you should know the name of the noble member of the British Parliament who has been very popular recently?" Watson tilted his head and asked Conan Edogawa with a smile.

"Albert James Moriarty..."

"That's right, Albert is the eldest brother of the Moriarty family, and Professor William is the second son. The work of MI6 is now in charge of the youngest brother..." Watson nodded with satisfaction. "After all, the original 'M' - Mr. Albert was in the limelight in the previous parliamentary turmoil."

"However, in addition to the three brothers - there are two other Moriartys who are not related to them by blood, but also belong to MI6."

"Among the two Moriarti who are not related by blood to the three brothers - one of them looks more like Professor Moriarti in the novel, a real old man - although I heard that he has problems with his waist, but the last time I saw him, he was quite agile in punching and dodging." Watson thought for a moment and gave his evaluation of Conan Edogawa.

"So there are five Moriarty in total?" Conan Edogawa tilted his head and confirmed with Watson.

"Ah, the last guy is an ordinary college boy - although he occasionally has a chuunibyou and brags that he will become the king of the criminal world in the future, but overall he is a normal person." Watson smiled gently, recalling the noisy daily life of a group of people living together in the past. "The old Moriarty likes to mix drinks for everyone like a bartender, and do some daily consultation..."

"However, most of the guys who consulted him did not get satisfactory results. Among them, Lancelot was the only one who consulted him after failing countless times."

"Dr. Watson said before that Mr. Lancelot went to see the elderly Professor Moriarty for the issue of parent-child relationship, right?" Edogawa Conan confirmed with Watson, "Is this Mr. Lancelot married?"

"Ah... not married yet, but there is a son and a daughter." Watson subtly avoided Edogawa Conan's sight, then quickly turned back and gave him an impeccable smile, "When Lancelot first consulted the elderly Moriarty about the paternity, his son had not yet joined - we were just in a situation where everyone knew he had such a son, but had not seen him yet."

"At that time, Lancelot had been separated from Galahad for a long time. During this period, Lancelot adopted... can it be considered as adoption? However, if we have to calculate the blood relationship of the child, it may be attributed to Animusphia..." Watson fell into deep thought, and finally decided in self-destruction, "Forget it, just consider it that Lancelot adopted her!"

"In short, Lancelot was having a hard time with his newly adopted daughter, so he confided his troubles to the elderly Moriarty and sought counseling - the end result was that Lancelot was beaten out of the house by his daughter." Watson glanced at his notebook and calmly recounted the situation to Conan Edogawa.

"Lancelot's adopted daughter, Marthe, and his son are the members of the Knights of the Round Table who correspond to Galahad."

"The second time Lancelot went to consult the old professor was because of his bad relationship with Galahad... Galahad dragged him to our internal training ground and beat him up." Watson complained, "Galahad's beating was much heavier than Marsh's - Lancelot was sent to the emergency room as soon as he came out of the training ground."

"He's really persistent in building a good relationship with his children." Conan Edogawa widened his eyes in surprise and gave a subconscious comment, "Although I think his efforts are in the wrong direction - maybe the situation will improve if he consults Professor William instead."

"That's true. Judging from Will's social circle, it's more reliable to consult him about parent-child relationship issues than to consult Moriarty." Watson agreed with Conan Edogawa. "However, speaking of parent-child relationships... let's talk about the Morgan Knights of the Round Table, Conan Edogawa?"
