"I'm sorry what did you say?" Leo asked, he needed confirmation if what Lisa said was true

"I'm sorry what did you say?" Leo asked, he needed confirmation if what Lisa said was true. "He looks almost exactly like him! The eyes, the face shape, the hairstyle, and his physique!" Lisa exclaimed, reimagining the man back in the Noahtic. "Haha, nice joke Lisa, but you can fool me," Leo spoke with small laughter erupting from his lips. "I'm telling you! It's Wil-" Leo's right index finger landed on her lips, a 'shush' sound escaping his mouth.

"You're going to have to prove it to me, Lis," Leo said. A glare plastered on Lisa's face, what a cocky bastard, she thought, she walked away from the counter. Ever since William and Sherlock had come to the tea shop, Lisa had forgotten her entire purpose of working in the tea shop. Lisa sighs as she walked into the kitchen, grabbing a clean rag and wiping the teacups and cutlery from the sink. She's going to have to find out how to prove it to Leo one way or another.

... a time skip ...

It was the end of the day and Lisa had finished her shift in the shop. "Still up to prove that 'he' was William James Moriarty?" Leo asked her, "You bet I am, follow me," Lisa said and Leo follows her trail from behind, "We are going to the Newspaper Office".

The two arrived at the Newspaper Office, as they entered the office, the bell let out a 'ding' to notify that customers were entering, Lisa walked to one of the employees, Leo following her from behind and asked, "Excuse me, do you have newspapers that go back to around 3 years ago when William James Moriarty was revealed to be the Lord of Crime?", "Pardon me, I'll check in the backroom," The male employee said, Lisa's heart was anticipated with adrenaline, after a few minutes the employee came back.

"Here, these are the only copies we have left," He said and he passes the newspapers to her, "Thank you," She said before she passes a pouch of money on the desk and they left the office. "This holds the case, my dear comrade".

... at the shared house ...

She passes the stacks of newspapers on the table and sits down on the chair, Leo sits on the chair opposite to her. "Read that," She told Leo and he grabbed the newspaper, "Lord of Crime revealed to be William James Moriarty..." Leo readout, "How does this correlate to that one customer?" He asked Lisa. "Well...to be honest, I may have gone through..ehehe..." She replied hesitantly while she slowly grabbed something from the mini purse that clung to her shoulders throughout the trip.

A small rectangular piece of paper rested on the table after Lisa placed it, it was a photo of a man, not just any man, but the man himself, Willam James Moriarty, "Woah, Woah, Woah, Woah, did you just take a photo THE LORD OF CRIME HIMSELF?! WITHOUT GETTING CAUGHT?!" Leo exclaimed in shock, "Now look" She took the photo and compared it to the photo of William in the newspaper.

"So...the red hair guy is..." Leo slowly said, "Is the Lord of Crime himself, William James Moriarty" Lisa answered his doubts. "Well, we have to tell this to Zachary!" Leo spoke, Zachary was the leader of the operation, "We can have him replace someone else for this! We need to capture Moriarty! Imagine the amount of money we could have after giving him to the British Royal Government!" Leo fantasizes, "But do you think that's easy?" Lisa asks, Leo questions himself one last time before he realizes that it wouldn't be easy.

"An orphan who was a mentor to almost everyone, a mathematician at a young age, a man who was behind and planned the murders of many influential nobles so meticulously, and now a crime consultant? Do you think we can get him easily?" Lisa explained, "Then we can do this one way or another" Leo said, "Then how about we first find who was the navy blue-haired man next to him," Lisa said.

The two comrades stared at the photos of William along with the navy blue-haired man next to him, not knowing that it was the renowned detective of Britain.
