Chapter 487 is on fire!
A simple but by no means crude wedding, went on quietly in the church.
The priest at the altar began to recite the lines of blessing and witnessing the couple according to the procedure. Under the veil, Horikoshi Yumi couldn't help but start to lose focus.
The reason why you don’t want to get married? She couldn't tell clearly.
Perhaps I was not satisfied with Kazushi Nakamichi at first. He had many advantages, but there were also shortcomings. At least he did not meet her imagined requirements for a partner.
When she got older and no longer had so many unnecessary fantasies, she still didn't want to choose Zhongdao and Zhi, but it was because they had been together for too long.
In addition, during college, I have known each other for 17 or 18 years, and have been separated and reunited several times. Not only have I seen each other's best youth, but I have also witnessed the most embarrassing, worst, and abusive moments... …
At this age, they may have more habits than feelings for each other. If Kazushi Nakamichi had communicated with her properly before deciding to go on a blind date without permission, whether it was to propose again, or to give up and break up peacefully, would she still be so messy?
To be honest, Horikoshi Yumi herself didn’t know.
Maybe this is a grudge, and it will develop to the point where Hezhi is full of murderous intentions towards her. Maybe her fault is really not small...
Sensing the absent-mindedness of the woman next to him, Leon rolled his eyes and glanced at Yumi Horikoshi thoughtfully.
Then he turned his head, looked exactly in the direction of the camera, and showed a meaningful smile.
"The hint is beginning to take effect." Karasawa, who accurately received this information, nodded, "Where is Nakamichi Kazushi?"
Noah blinked slightly, The screen was switched to another game participant.
In the dark night, the church in front was brightly lit, which made Kazushi Nakamichi, who was holding a torch, look so gloomy.
He was actually near St. Monica's Church, and judging from his expression, it didn't look like he was here to wish his ex-girlfriend a happy wedding.
“What is Kazushi doing?” One moment, he was looking at Yumi Horikoshi who was getting married in the presence of Kudo and Karasawa with a strange look on his face. The next moment, he saw Nakamichi Kazushi with an angry look on his face. With such a look, Mouri Kogoro was stunned and frowned.
Only considering the relationship between the two of them, he sympathizes with Kazushi Nakamichi, and Yumi Horikoshi often brings embarrassment to others as a friend, let alone as a being with a closer relationship.
However, as a criminal police officer, Kazushi Nakamichi actually chose the most outrageous path...
He let out a long breath, and there was no longer any relief on his face. color.
Others who directly saw Nakamichi Kazushi's murderous intent also expressed shock. They were stunned and helpless as they watched Nakamichi Kazushi, who didn't know that his ugly appearance had been exposed, walking towards the bright church step by step.
Although I have heard his own straightforward description of the motive for the murder, it is still shocking to witness the murderer's process of committing the crime.
"After all, he is a ruthless man who is determined to kill." Unlike the shocked audience outside, Tangze's reaction was relatively dull. He just sighed leisurely and put away the empty bag of potato chips in his hand. He stood up and said, "However, compared to before, his murderous intention has also wavered."
Carefully observing the uncertain expressions of Zhongdao and Zhi, Tang Ze nodded affirmatively, holding nothing in his hand. I forgot to take out another box of pocky, and started chewing.
"Really?" Conan observed Kazushi Nakamichi's expression uncertainly, "It's still a very gloomy expression. Is he going to set fire to the church directly?!"
Conan almost jumped off the soft sofa when he saw clearly the other people behind Nakamichi Kazushi holding torches and even holding accelerants such as kerosene.
This is not just a matter of snatching photos with Yumi Horikoshi, Holmes and Watson are still in the church!
Isn’t he the bastard who found Irene through Holmes’s hand and then just killed the detective and the target together?
Not to mention that this Holmes is still very tall. A picture of his face, Watson also looks like Tang Ze, it is so immersive that it feels like my fists are pumping!
"Well, it's not too unexpected." Joker's calm voice interrupted his excitement, "Don't underestimate the murderer who has made a lot of careful preparations. He is not a moment of righteous indignation. As a result of the passionate killing, have you forgotten his previous murder plan? It is not an easy decision to plan to kill the person next to you calmly and rationally.”
"...So, do you want to say that he is now impulsively planning to kill the detective as well, which is better than before?" The corners of Conan's mouth twitched because of the joker's absurd reasoning.
"That's about it." Nodding seriously, joker replied, "Why else would the law value premeditation so much? Murder and kill are different concepts. What do you think of Dao and Will? With his current expression, he has begun to realize that it is terrible for him to carefully prepare and plan to kill someone he has been close to... Even if he knew that this was a game, he might have killed just a group of data. They are all hesitating.”
There is no solemn march to accompany the empty church, and the nondescript secret wedding is still going on quietly.
When Kazushi Nakamichi stood in front of the church, he suddenly felt a little melancholy in his heart.
It would be great if Yumi could really find someone to marry and hold a wedding.
Then all the problems may no longer be a problem. One day in the future, they may be able to pass each other like strangers when they meet on the street, or give a friendly smile and let go of their grudges.
It's a pity... He has been forced to this point and has made a choice out of indignation.
Be it the Phantom Thieves or the artificial intelligence game, they only gave him a chance to rein in the situation at the last moment, which shook some of his murderous intentions. But it is a real fact that he almost became a murderer.
There is nothing to hesitate, pouring out murderous intent at this moment is the only way to prevent yourself from becoming a murderer.
Wearing a luxurious fur coat and cloak, Nakamichi Kazushi looked at the church in front of him, and finally waved.
Soon, the pungent kerosene and torches came up, and the wooden church was easily ignited.
The door of the chapel was closed and pushed shut by the gangsters he hired. The flames instantly lit up the dark night, and also illuminated Nakamichi Kazushi's sweaty face.
"...Let's go." Not daring to look at the auditorium behind him any longer, Nakamichi Kazushi put on the mask covering his face again and said angrily.
Although he was in the game at this time, he subconsciously wanted to cover his face and conceal his identity.
Doing this may not actually kill Irene Adler and her husband, or Holmes, but in an environment like a fire, if she had carried the photo with her, it would have been greatly damaged. probability.
That was enough, but he still preferred that maybe Irene would hide the things in her home as set in the original work.
He came here specifically to light this fire, and the venting factor was more important.
Why is his wedding always at risk of being destroyed? This is true in reality, and it is also true in the game! I really have had enough of this unreasonable woman and this unreasonable world!
The closed church door immediately attracted the attention of several people in the church.
Before Holmes and Watson could check the situation clearly, black smoke and flames rushed in at the fastest speed, making people immediately realize the seriousness of the problem.
"It seems that your two clients are not planning to pay the promised reward this time." Calmly pushing the ring onto Horikoshi Yumi's finger, Leon glanced at the detective and his assistant standing on the steps and said I joked in the mood.
"You know our identities." Young Kudo looked at Leon, and then at Yumi Horikoshi, whose face was still covered by a veil, as if he wanted to find out who was the talker among the two. Things are normal.
"Of course I know, Mr. Holmes, Dr. Watson." Leon calmly called out their identities, "But now, it is not the time to consider identity and position."
"You said That's right." Young Karasawa nodded, squatted down without hesitation, said "I'm sorry," and then pulled off a long hem of Horikoshi Yumi's skirt.
Before Yumi Horikoshi screamed, Leon nodded in agreement: "Long skirts are indeed not conducive to escaping from a fire. There is water at the baptistery."
The two people quickly divided the thick gauze into several parts, soaked it and distributed it to several people in front of the altar, temporarily covering their mouths and noses.
I don’t know if it’s due to the structure or if the game deliberately speeds up the process. In just two minutes, billowing smoke has poured into the church.
"It's too late to climb to the high platform on the second floor. Come this way!" The young Kudo pointed at the tall leaf-shaped flower window behind the statue and greeted a few people. After carefully tying the cloth on Horikoshi Yumi's face, Leon whispered "Hold me tight" and easily picked up Horikoshi Yumi.
The nervous Yumi Horikoshi did not dare to speak casually, for fear of choking in the smoke of the fire - she had already experienced the degree of simulation of this game through the beam of fire in the room. No, I don’t really want to experience the immersive fire scene survival.
On the other side, young Tangze supported the priest caringly, first helped him climb up to the window, then turned around, grabbed young Kudo directly by the waist, and lifted him up.
"Watson! I can walk by myself!"
"Forget it Sherlock, even when my leg injury is not healed, I can easily beat you two. Don't It’s noisy, I still have to take care of the old priest.”
“Hey, let me down!”
“…Hey, isn’t it just a different model?” Conan, who couldn't stand it, glanced reproachfully at the two unscrupulous game planners beside him, "Is it necessary to change this part to the two of us?"
"It's the truth." Tang Ze, holding the pocky in his mouth, stretched out a hand to suppress the protest of the primary school student, "Even if you haven't become smaller, Tang Ze gives you two legs, and you can't beat him."
Sit Noah on the side nodded with deep understanding.
Although the group leader has been living in a cafe, who knows how he found the opportunity to exercise, the fact is that the group leader's physical skills have been improving on the basis of his already good performance.
Now Tangze, in his own words, is a person who can be on an equal footing with Mao Lilan, even if not counting the physical advantages brought to him by his identity as a masker.
“Me neither, it must be that bad!”
"You should practice some physical skills if you have the chance, great detective. Good physical strength alone doesn't mean much. However, if you are like this now, there is really no need to practice."
"Hey...!"
Tangze took back his hand with a smile and continued to watch the live broadcast of the game in front of him. Seeing the young Tangze holding the embarrassed detective in one hand and easily climbing along the statue with the other, his smile widened a little.
In fact, Noah’s question is easy to answer.
Tang Ze was not looking for a chance to exercise, he was just recovering his past life memories. He is gradually adapting to this young body and is increasingly regaining his old technical and tactical levels.
You must know that what Tangze learned at the beginning was not a martial art used to strengthen the body and fight to the point, but a serious killing technique used in actual combat.
"Close your eyes." Leon, who led Yumi Horikoshi onto the shoulders of the statue, did not forget to continue his work. He spoke in her ear with a gentle voice and kicked to The flower window in front.
The glass with the image of the Virgin shattered, and Leon jumped out holding the woman with the fluttering veil in his arms.
Nakamichi Kazushi, who had not gone too far, heard the noise and suddenly turned around. He saw the newlyweds in formal attire, looking at each other affectionately, jumping out of the church.
With his eyes fixed on the bride, whose face was covered tightly with white gauze, Nakamichi Kazushi took a breath and quickened his pace.
I don't know if it was his illusion, but this Irene Adler gave him a very familiar feeling.
The troublemakers in the Phantom Thieves could be Irene who was made up of Yumi, right?
Hey, if that's the case, don't blame him for being too cruel.
"It's okay, Miss Irene." Holmes, who was placed on the ground by Watson, patted the glass shards on his coat, glanced at the assistant who turned around to pick up the old priest, and shrugged helplessly. Shrugging, he could only look at Yumi Horikoshi, and introduced himself seriously, "Now that the matter is over, there is no need for me to conceal my identity any longer. As your husband said, my name is Sherlock Holmes, and I am a detective."
"There is no need to repeat this line!" Edogawa Conan pushed him with a slap, but Joker quickly twisted his waist and dodged.
Karasawa raised his hand and motioned for Noah to play the track next to him, and the next second, Mao Lilan's exclaimed "Wow, it really looks like Shinichi" reached Conan's ears.
Conan was choked and speechless: "..."
Except for Leon's subtle glance at the camera, no one else in the game or NPC noticed anything unusual, the dialogue went on.
"Indeed, the matter has come to an end. We can open the skylight and speak openly." Yumi Horikoshi hesitantly withdrew his gaze to look at the murderers who were leaving in a hurry. He was not sure whether he had just seen a familiar person. He gave priority to turning his attention to the detective in front of him, "As you can see, your client is not a gentleman. He has little intentions, deep scheming, and very vicious methods. You still want to continue your commission. "I insist on helping him take my things from me."
"I'm just curious, Miss Irene." The young Kudo tilted his head, glanced at the handsome and tall Leon, and looked at him again. Yumi Horikoshi, whose appearance is unclear at first glance but can be considered slim, said, "Since you have a better choice and are no longer ready to look back on the past and relive old dreams with that king, why are you unwilling to give up this hot potato? You He also knows that for the sake of family honor, inheritance and wealth, he will not allow something like this to disrupt his marriage plan. It is good for everyone to take it out in exchange for a reasonable reward. Isn’t it?”
This sentence hit a painful point, and Yumi Horikoshi froze on the spot.
Why? Isn't it because she has no better choice?
Is what she is really unwilling to accept is the fact that Kazushi Nakamichi abandoned her to get married?
No, that's not it. More than that, her greater negative emotions came from the fact that she had no way out except the middle path and ambition.
Thirty-seven or eighteen years old, which is considered old for a man, but in many industries, this age is still the prime of life. He is a criminal policeman with a bright future. His boss will treat his daughter Giving it to him is enough to explain the problem.
His future is bright and everything is on the rise. Without her, it seems that he will have a better future, a wider world is waiting for him, and a new life is at his fingertips.
But what about her? What is she going to do?
Even under her careful care, she does not look old, but with her current conditions, she wants to find another marriage partner who is better than Nakamichi Kazushi. It seems that she has completely become The extravagant hope.
She is not the real Irene Adler, not a legendary showgirl, not the pearl of the Warsaw Empire. No one will give her a second glance when walking on the street.
At this age, she has to accept her own mediocrity. The departure of Nakamichi Kazushi only reminded her of this painfully.
So she couldn't accept this last choice and left her. After losing him, she had to admit how mediocre and failed her life had been for more than thirty years.
Seeing her silence, the young man Kudo and the young man Karasawa who caught the old priest, rescued the last trapped person, and walked to him looked at each other, and they both saw it in each other's eyes. A hint of sympathy.
A woman who has failed emotionally and is a madman full of evil thoughts.
How sad and hateful.
“Give up those photos, Miss Irene, you still have a husband who loves you and has a rich family fortune. If you are worried about being revenged by the king or other things, you can leave London with your husband. Find a place where you won't be disturbed to spend the rest of your life. The two of you have a lot of money, so you must not have so many worries of ordinary people.
"Those photos will definitely sell for a good price, and they will also become the starting point for you to start over. They are worthy of a family property, and the Bohemian Majesty must be willing to pay any price for them." Holmes said earnestly , "If you trust my character, you can let me be your intermediary, and I will hand over all your property to you."
Horikoshi Yumi looked at the young man's face through the white gauze. He had a solemn look on his face and remained silent.
Holmes waited for her answer quietly. Leon had no intention of disturbing her and looked at her silently.
Outside the screen, all the audience watching the drama were waiting in silence for her answer.
However, the next moment, before Yumi Horikoshi could spit out her answer, another handful of bright fire light burst into flames in the neighborhood not far away.
Everyone present looked over with vigilance and found that it was in the direction of Briony Mansion.
Also the residence of Irene Adler.
