Johnny Justice lives on the best street in the East End. It is like an oasis in the desert. The streets are clean and tidy. There are no homeless people or vagrants. There are only a few businessmen who stand by the stove and sell hot coffee and handmade pies.
"No money, sir."
Looking at the two guests in front of him, a half-grown young man said with a restrained expression.
And Johnny didn't hesitate. After taking enough food for two people, he threw a silver coin on the table, covered his waist, and walked towards the largest single-family apartment.
Spacious gates, lawns and gardens, and three extremely ferocious guard dogs.
"The young man just now was very skilled and honest. Even when the Corn Laws caused flour prices to remain high, he did not cut corners or use cat meat as a shoddy product..."
"At that time, in a certain neighborhood of Whitechapel, there was a barber named Sweeney Todd. After murdering his customers, he asked his neighbors to make them into pies and sell them."
"Thankfully I caught it in time, otherwise more people would have suffered."
After getting acquainted with each other, the detective nicknamed Justice showed his ability to talk. Along the way, he told Pan Ming about his glorious history of running through the East District and making crimes unable to hide.
However, the actions of covering the waist and grinning really ruined the image.
"It's a pity that he's still not as good as that guy in the West District."
Wow——
The key chain drew a perfect parabola in the air. Johnny turned on the kerosene lamp, lay on the sofa, and sighed: "If this serial murder case can be solved, I can beat him."
West End?
Although Johnny's force value is not very good and he is a bit talkative, Pan Ming still feels that the other person is not simple. It can be seen from the attitude of the street vendors that he should be very respected.
"Who is that person?" Pan Ming asked curiously.
"Charlotte Holmes, a guy with many quirks." Johnny said in a slightly sour tone.
For a moment, Pan Ming had the urge to abandon this guy and rush to Baker Street immediately.
However, he is not Duke after all, and he thinks of Holmes as an ordinary person who can befriend anyone.
"All right."
Pan Ming suppressed his impulse, shrugged, took the hot pancake with meat filling from Justice Johnny's hand, and said while eating: "Then why did you invite me here?"
In that dark alley, the two of them cleared up their misunderstanding in a strange gesture.
Regarding the fact that he was accidentally injured, Mr. Johnny showed admirable generosity and invited Pan Ming to sit at home.
"As you can see, I am investigating the East District serial murder case and have mastered many key clues, but one person's power is limited after all."
Having said this, Johnny couldn't help but sigh. He was used to fighting alone, but this case was more difficult than expected. With a strong assistant to help, the case could be brought to light faster.
The most important thing is that yesterday afternoon at the Scotland Yard headquarters at 4 Whitehall Street, Johnny saw that the competitors all liked to sign up for a group. In order to increase efficiency and get the bounty as soon as possible, he could only break his principles.
Besides, aren’t principles meant to be broken?
On the side, Pan Ming, who was sipping coffee, put down the metal cup and seriously considered the feasibility.
The strong man in front of him claimed that he had many key clues and his reputation could rival that of Sherlock Holmes.
Are these credible?
"It can be seen that you are very interested in this case. With the combination of strength, wisdom and experience, it is only a matter of time before we catch the mastermind behind this case."
Johnny struck while the iron was hot.
Hearing this, Pan Ming couldn't help but feel moved. It was just a verbal agreement anyway, so why not agree?
If Johnny Justice is really capable, then we can carry out in-depth cooperation. If not, we can find a suitable occasion to make friends with Sherlock Holmes.
Of course, no matter what, Lu Li and Duke must definitely get in touch.
Sensing that Pan Ming, who had a mysterious background, had relaxed his attitude, Johnny spoke up again, saying: "I have handled several cases of this kind and made a summary of the case. I locked it in the cabinet in the study on the second floor. We might as well come together." Go up and have a look?"
In order to win over this ally who came to his door, Mr. Johnny burst out with enthusiasm.
Seeing this, the balance in Pan Ming's heart began to tilt violently. He followed Justice Johnny and walked upstairs.
A misshapen monster bust.
A totem depicting runes.
A box with intricate decorations.
An ancient scroll from the mysterious East.
If Duke comes here, he will definitely sigh that Justice Johnny and Mr. Holmes have the same taste and like these bizarre things.
Pan Ming is very satisfied with this. He likes to deal with professionals. Bounties and other matters are not important. The focus is to gain a sense of presence and participate in various major events...
Suddenly, a roar full of anger and confusion interrupted his thoughts.
"Damn bastard!"
"The house was robbed!"
Almost at the same time, the three hounds that were pacing leisurely in the courtyard began to go crazy. They stared angrily, jumped onto the window sill, rushed into the room, and sniffed around the opened counter.
Then, it showed two rows of extremely sharp teeth and barked toward the northwest.
That should be the direction the thief escaped.
But the angry Justice Johnny quickly calmed down. He knew the origin of the hound he used to guard his home. Because of this, the identity of the thief was worthy of scrutiny.
Who could it be?
Face after face flashed through Johnny's mind, finally settling on those of his counterparts who were at Scotland Yard's headquarters yesterday.
Especially Lu Li, Duke, and Yang Yuanyuan, the three selected contenders.
With this in mind, Johnny began to check the cabinet. No money or collections were taken away. The thief did not bother to hide the target. He or she only took away a summary of the case.
It was the equivalent of a memoir.
It records all the cases that Justice Johnny has encountered over the decades he has been working in the industry. Some have been solved, some have become unresolved, some are trivial, and some are enough to subvert ordinary people's cognition.
"It seems that they are really traveling together. What disappeared is the memoir from seven to four years ago."
Johnny held his waist and looked gloomy. He really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to him.
The three black-backed hounds were still baring their teeth and barking. They failed to detect the burglar breaking into the house, but they could smell the residual scent.
"Looks like you need help."
A confident smile appeared on Pan Ming's face, which made Johnny Justice relax a little and said in a deep voice: "That's right, before the heavy rain has diluted the smell, I have to catch that damn bastard as soon as possible. Are you willing? Give me a helping hand?"
"my pleasure."
As soon as he finished speaking, the three hounds rushed into the vast night and started hunting across half of the city.
at the same time.
Duke, who was chatting happily with Holmes at 221 Baker Street, did not realize that this place was about to become the center of the storm.
What's more, I didn't expect that close friends would reunite in this way.
