Oritis in the world of Detective Conan

Chapter 88: The Apocalypse of Sherlock Holmes (Part 1)

At Dr. Agasa's house, the novelist, the little girl and Conan gathered together.

"What, you're going to London?" The novelist sat on the sofa and looked at Conan in surprise.

Conan was very excited: "Because Uncle Kogoro helped a foreign lady find a cat, she invited us to visit London, and she covered all the expenses for food, accommodation and air tickets."

"That lady named Diana is really a rich woman."

Conan then began to look forward to visiting the holy land of Sherlock Holmes in England.

"But Conan, what about your passport?" The little girl's words immediately broke Conan's fantasy.

"Ah, I completely forgot it! Doctor, can you think of a way, like forging a passport or something?" Conan became anxious.

"That's against the law, so stop talking nonsense." Dr. Agasa expressed his embarrassment.

"Well, Uncle Orpheus, is there anyone over there who can help me?"

"Although some of my friends are planning to go to London soon, they can't avoid immigration inspection even if they go by private jet." The novelist felt a little helpless.

Conan then broke down softly: "It's a rare opportunity to visit Sherlock Holmes' holy land. Is there anything more tragic than this?"

In the end, Huibara couldn't bear it anymore and gave him two doses of medicine that could change him back.

Although Conan promised to follow Haibara's instructions completely, plans can never keep up with changes.

[Novelist: Is there anyone in the UK now?]

[Perfumer: Joseph and I are in London. Lady Diana has invited us to her dinner party.]

[Photographer: It is said that this lady has a collection of my pictures.]

[Madam Red: You are really popular, even though you are much older than you look.]

[Bartender: I'm in London too, just doing some mafia business, and Philip is with me.]

[Violinist: I also received an invitation from that lady. I didn’t want to go, but she offered me too much.]

[Sculptor: I will keep an eye on you. Don't run away. You wouldn't abandon me, a companion who has difficulty moving alone, in front of so many people, would you? Right, Master Antonio?]

[Violinist: Ugh!]

[Painter: You'd better obey Miss Galatea's instructions, otherwise next time you'll be stuck in a brothel washing dishes to pay off your debts.]

After arriving in London, because there was still a long time before Ms. Diana's dinner party, Conan and his friends decided to take a sightseeing tour in London first.

First they went to the Sherlock Holmes Museum, and Conan was so excited that he jumped up and down. During this time, Xiaolan called Kudo Shinichi's cell phone, but was fooled by Conan.

Later, Conan met Apollo Glass, the brother of the lawn tennis queen Minerba Glass, at the entrance of the museum. Conan then claimed to be Holmes' apprentice and got from Apollo a copy of the Apocalypse that predicted a murder, which was full of riddle-like codes.

After explaining the situation to Ran and Maori Kogoro, Conan dragged Dr. Agasa to investigate the Apocalypse. Ran and Maori Kogoro searched for clues in the places where people gathered most in London.

Conan was looking for the place where the incident might have happened on the map, but he accidentally caught a glimpse of a familiar face.

"Who is that? The physiognomist and criminologist Mr. Philip?" Conan rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

The Mr. Philip (Gimpy was furious, but he didn't put his sister on it) was wearing a black and gold suit, and standing next to him was a woman who was also dressed elegantly.

How could this be possible? He had appeared in the "Cocoon" game project, so Mr. Philip was also a member of the Oredis Organization? But in that game, "Jack" killed him, so what was his relationship with Jack in real life? Conan pondered.

Unable to come to any further conclusion, Conan turned his attention to the woman traveling with Philip. The woman looked like a rich lady, holding a wine bucket full of ice cubes, with two bottles of red wine immersed in the ice.

Conan found a random excuse to approach the two of them: "Hey, uncle and big sister, are you going to the party?"

"Ah, I guess so. Someone invited us to a pretty grand dinner party." The bartender (Judgment Wine) shook the barrel in his hand.

"Wow, this is a wine I've never seen before. My dad loves wine tasting. Can you show it to me?"

The bartender took out a bottle of wine and handed it to Conan, who took the opportunity to stick the bug on the bottom of the bottle and then returned the wine.

After that, Conan carefully eavesdropped on the conversation between the two.

"The trading partner seems to have no sincerity." Conan recognized the voice as that of the wax sculptor.

"Heh, they don't think they can suppress me on their own turf." The bartender's voice followed.

"What a shame, they picked the wrong opponent. You might not be able to use those two bottles of wine."

"Is our criminal artist planning to expand his collection?"

"You know, there's no piece of work that can compare to that guy's."

"Oh, I heard he messed up the assignment the 'photographer' gave him, and the herbal cultivation base was burned down. I was planning to see if there were any plants on that island that could be used to make wine."

"He was outmaneuvered by the 'Air Force,' but at least he got the methods for making those specimens."

"'Perfumer' was recently wooed by 'Photographer' because of this. I thought we were good sisters."

"How dare you say that! Didn't the 'Recorder' and I also get lured to your side?"

"Ms. Recorder is still obsessed with the trial, alas~"

Then there was a series of tinkling and clanging sounds coming from the bug, and then there was no sound anymore. Conan guessed that the melting ice might have damaged the bug.

However, he had heard a lot of information, and the two members of the Oritis organization did not seem to know him, probably because the other members did not share the information.

Mr. Phillips was indeed a member of the Oredis Organization, and so was Ms. Cogan, who also appeared in the "Cocoon" game. Her codename was "Recorder." That game was likely a trial experiment in which the personalities of the two of them and Jack were substituted.

The "Photographer" from the Supervisor camp seems to be the mastermind behind the incident on Belstein Island. He used the specimen making technology obtained by "Jack" to win over the "Perfumer" who is probably from the Survivor camp.

The lady traveling with Mr. Philip also seemed to be a member of the survivor camp, and she probably had a good relationship with the "Perfumer".

The survivor camp also used other means to win over Mr. Philip and the "recorder" who should have belonged to the supervisor camp.

The internal relationship of the Oritis organization is too complicated. The two camps not only cooperate with each other but also sabotage each other. Even people in the same camp are doing this. I wonder if this can be used in the future.

Conan thought so, rubbed his temples, and decided to re-engage in the investigation of the apocalypse.
