Chapter 445

Now even the FBI's trump card can do nothing.

Shuichi Akai was dumbfounded by this - even though he had just used other members of Chaldea as examples to convince Rei Furuya, he knew that such a continuous occurrence was definitely not a coincidence.

"But..." It was obvious that Shuichi Akai still found it more difficult to accept the current situation than Rei Furuya. "Why did Chaldea resurrect them? What kind of benefits can Chaldea gain from such an action? Even if they have to change their names and work for Chaldea for the rest of their lives because of their resurrection...but compared to the truly top talents, there is no need for ordinary undercover agents and ordinary police officers to exist in such an organization, right?"

"Wait a minute, Mr. Akai, and Mr. Furuya!" Edogawa Conan climbed onto the toilet lid, trying not to look up at the two adults, "I have an idea - but it takes time to confirm, can you wait for me?"

"What did you find?"

Both adults focused their attention on the young detective.

"Among the 100 people who came to visit Chaldea, there was no one from MI6—"

"No, I saw my mother - she is an MI6 agent." Shuichi Akai interrupted Conan Edogawa.

"...I mean Mr. Holmes and his group!" Edogawa Conan changed the subject swiftly, "I didn't see any of their people among the visitors - the people from the Black Organization were quite conspicuous, although they were all scattered. However, I remember that Mr. Holmes seemed to be a management consultant in Chaldea."

"So?" Furiya Rei frowned and looked at Edogawa Conan.

"I want to go to Mr. Holmes to confirm the situation." Edogawa Conan answered Furuya Rei with a serious expression, "I can't say for sure, is what Mr. Furuya said in anger on the phone true?"

"A moment of anger?"

"Facts?"

Furuya Rei and Akai Shuichi both showed surprised expressions.

"Ah, the statement that the Black Organization has been completely infiltrated by other organizations - maybe it's true!" Edogawa Conan answered the two people solemnly while running outside.

"...The little detective is really smart." Sitting in the director's seat, Marinesberry looked at the real-time surveillance on the big screen and showed an impeccable smile. "However, the time is almost up - after all, there are so many necessary conditions missing, so they can only let them directly announce the correct answer to the little detective."

So, Conan Edogawa discovered all the staff of the H&M office in the library of Chaldea - no, there were more people present than those who had appeared in the detective office in Beika Town.

"...I said it's not a good thing for him to get too close to Charlie." Holmes sat on the sofa in the corner, smoking a cigarette, and smiled at Conan Edogawa who walked into the library. "If you are just waiting for a detective like him to arrive in front of you, then I have nothing to say."

"Even Charlie doesn't have the habit of skipping levels based on intuition." Standing on the second floor, McCoff closed the book in his hand, "But this little detective is indeed smart and brave - but he should be more cautious and not so reckless. It's not that he can survive every time he is hit by a club."

"Huff, huff." Moriarty laughed exaggeratedly, "If you hadn't given Charlie a multiple-choice question, he might have been treated like this."

"That's impossible." Louis refuted Moriarty's statement, "Brother William couldn't have not set a test for Sherlock, because London at that time needed a hero like that - so without the test, Sherlock would not have been favored by Brother William. In other words, if Sherlock had chosen to shoot, it's hard to say whether we would be standing here now."

"He did pass your test, but it was Mrs. Hudson and I who suffered." John spread his hands helplessly and sighed, "Sherlock was itching for the answer that was within his reach, and finally couldn't bear it anymore and shot at the wall to call Lestrade over when he was shaving... I don't want to experience it again at all."

"That won't happen again, John." Watson smiled and looked at John. "After all, Sherlock has already got the 'correct answer' he is looking for, right?"

"Although I would rather Sherlock never get the 'correct answer' in his life." Albert leaned against the bookshelf on the second floor, crossed his arms and looked at McCoff, "But I have to admit that if it weren't for his efforts - we wouldn't be able to see such a future."

"Haha, I really don't want to see that happen again." Jack laughed.

"I am very happy to be able to help Lord William again." Fred, who is usually quite reserved, pulled up the scarf in front of him and said.

"After all, William has given us a whole new meaning of life," Bond said with a smile.

"Although it's unpleasant, that was William's decision of his own will, so I don't intend to say anything more." Moran turned his face away and didn't look in the direction of Sherlock.

"Although that is Lord William's will, I really don't like the current Scotland Yard." Patterson stood in the corner of the first floor and closed the book.

"After saying so much, can't you exaggerate me?" Henry opened his arms to everyone in an exaggerated manner, "I was the one who picked them up from the Atlantic Ocean and brought them to the United States. If I hadn't been here——"

"Yes, yes. If you hadn't been here, Lian and I would have died in the Atlantic Ocean." Sherlock gritted his teeth and ruffled Henry's pink curly hair. He turned his gaze to the only guy present who hadn't spoken yet, except for William. "Thank you, Billy."

"I have no objection to the choice of directly revealing the correct answer to Conan Edogawa." After receiving the gazes from others, Molly looked at William, who looked similar in age to her, and calmly expressed her thoughts, "After all, he is not Sherlock Holmes, and we don't have much time left."

"But the process still needs to be followed - after all, he is also a detective."

--process?

Conan Edogawa was speechless as he looked at everything in front of him.

"Young detective, the one who claims to be a disciple of Sherlock Holmes." After everyone in the library fell silent, William, who was standing at the back of the long table in the middle of the library, lowered his blood-red eyes and looked at Conan Edogawa who was standing at the door of the library, "I have a puzzle I want you to solve--"

“Let me ask you, what is our true nature?”

——Yes, H&M Detective Agency opened the year before he entered high school.

——By the time Gin forced him to drink APTX4869, exactly one year had passed.

- During this year, Sherlock Holmes and Sherlinford Holmes brothers established a deep trust relationship with him by frequently visiting the crime scenes. So after he became a small person, apart from Dr. Agasa, the brothers from the H&M Detective Agency were the only people he took the initiative to tell his true identity to.

——Of course there is no problem with this. Even if William James Moriarty arrived in Beika Town that day, it would not change the credibility of the Holmes brothers.

——Moreover, he believed that the Holmes brothers had discovered the truth long before he opened his mouth.

——However, due to a series of events brought about by the Black Organization, a huge question was left unanswered.

——That is, why would Kudo Shinichi, a detective, give his trust to the Holmes brothers, whose identities could be called unknown, within a year?

——Even after discovering doubts, they will quickly put them aside and no longer explore them.

——Of course, it is not impossible.

——Because Kudo Shinichi is such a hopeless Sherlock Holmes fan.

——Although he has encountered murders committed by Sherlock Holmes fans, he is indeed hopeless when it comes to Sherlock Holmes.

——But...if it was the present-day Conan Edogawa who was to confirm that past, he would probably consider different possibilities.

——After all, he has personally experienced the miracle of rejuvenation.

——So, Edogawa Conan should have considered the possibility that the Holmes brothers were also related to some kind of "miracle".

——That is "Resurrection from the Dead".

——Mr. Amuro once said that the purpose of the Black Organization is to "resurrect from the dead."

——If the reality of "resurrection from the dead" actually exists, then it cannot be said that the Black Organization is pursuing a fantasy like a flower in the mirror or the moon in the water.

——So, the answer is obvious.

——Holmes is "Holmes", Moriarty is "Moriarty", and Watson is "Watson".

——But it’s not enough. If the reasoning had only reached this point, Moriarty wouldn’t have had to make such a big fuss, and Holmes wouldn’t have cooperated with him, not to mention that the current situation is that Watson is also condoning Moriarty’s actions.

——Therefore... this cannot be a simple "resurrection from the dead".

"Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth. 'Whatever remains after eliminating all impossibilities, no matter how unbelievable, must be the truth.'" Edogawa Conan pushed his glasses and looked up at William's purple eyes. "Sometimes I would simplify this sentence to 'There is only one truth, 'Reality is what it is.'"

"So, my answer is—"

"You are part of Chaldea. Not the Chaldea we are in now, but another one - although I have never seen it! But you are undoubtedly a 'miracle' realized by the 'perpetual motion machine' in Chaldea that the Black Organization is targeting!! You don't have that kind of power, nor are you the 'miracle' itself, but your existence proves the existence of the 'miracle'!!!"

——No, this is not the answer he needs to submit...

Edogawa Conan took a deep breath and gave the answer.

"The guys who infiltrated the Black Organization are none other than you, Chaldea!!!"
