Ten thirty-four.
The minute hand is moved, and the time on the pocket watch is just after the watch is set.
Lu Li's expression was confused, and at the same time, he could not help but feel a little anxious and disappointed in his heart. There was a treasure mountain in vain but he could not enter it. This sentence fully showed his current helpless situation.
Beside them, Pan Ming and Duke shook their heads, not noticing anything unusual.
At the same time, a clicking sound came from the direction of the stairs. It was probably that Mi Gao had finished his work in the kitchen and was serving food.
Then, a childish voice sounded.
"Sir, the roasted elbow is ready. You can eat first. The beef stewed in red wine is still almost cooked. I have to go downstairs to watch. No need to wait."
Beef stew in red wine?
It's not just...
In an instant, Mi Gao noticed three eyes looking at him at the same time, with indescribably weird expressions. So, he put down the big iron basin holding the elbow, scratched his head, and said doubtfully:
"Is there something on my face?"
"without."
After saying this, Duke immediately calmed down, pretending to be nonchalant, stepped forward, touched the little guy, and sent him away.
"We just said that we need to install a phone at home to facilitate contact with the police station." Seeing Mi Gao's suspicious face, Lu Li said half-seriously: "We need to ask the landlord for help. If the kitchen is not busy, I want you to leave." One trip.”
It is worth mentioning that Lu Li, Pan Ming and Duke subconsciously use their native language when communicating, so there is no need to worry about being eavesdropped——
I've been to Wudu for so many days, and apart from the actors, I haven't seen any Asian faces at all.
"certainly."
Mi Gao readily agreed, seemingly dispelling his doubts.
Seeing the little guy's back completely disappear, the three of them showed expressions like they had seen a ghost again.
Even as calm as Lu Li, his heart started to beat faster, not to mention Duke. This guy grabbed Pan Ming's hand and glanced at his pocket watch.
Ten thirty-five.
Traveled through time? !
Although the span of time is not long, this ability is absolutely abnormal.
"Am I right, or am I remembering it wrong?"
"No."
Pan Ming seemed calm, but his other hand had subconsciously grasped the corner of the sofa.
"At that time, the beef stew with red wine was served first, and then, Michael said that the dishes such as the elbow were not ready yet, so he had to go down and keep an eye on it, right?"
Lu Li began to organize his thoughts.
Although the answer to this question was obvious, Pan Ming and Duke still sat upright and said solemnly: "That's right."
“When I adjusted the time through the screw crown, everything changed.”
"First, the time changes, and your pocket watch also changes." Lu Li looked at Pan Ming, "This means we have traveled through time."
In order to make the expression more rigorous, he added another sentence after this sentence, "Only in this world."
"Yes." Pan Ming nodded heavily.
"After completing the time travel, the order of serving changed. The elbows were the first to be served, and the beef stew in red wine that was supposed to be served was still in the pot."
"Um."
Duke seemed to have recovered from his excitement. After hearing Lu Li's question, he drew inferences:
"This shows that not only time has changed, but destiny has also changed, so the top priority is to find a way to confirm the maximum scope of action and see if it is controllable."
"Not urgent."
Lu Li was moved, but he held it back with great perseverance. He had to clarify all his thoughts before taking the risk, because this pocket watch could not only interfere with time, but also affect fate and cause and effect.
Take the change in the order of food delivery by Mi Gao as an example. We should not just look at the results, but also think about the process.
"At around ten o'clock, the two of us came back from the East District. Mi Gao had already started cooking. At that time, the beef was sixty-seven years old and the pork knuckles were still being processed and had not been cooked at all."
As he passed by the kitchen on his way upstairs, Lu Li glanced inside and knew the situation.
Pan Ming came here early. He knew better and understood what Lu Li wanted to express. He added: "I will arrive at 8:50. Your little guy is going to clean the pork knuckles and beef. I told him , take care of the pork knuckle later and burn it over a charcoal fire to remove the fishy smell of the skin."
After saying this, Lu Li understood instantly and walked quickly to the dining table. First he smelled it, and then he cut a piece of elbow skin with a knife.
"Burned."
"Not many people know this method of handling it. He obviously took what you said to heart."
What could this mean?
This means that this time travel can at least affect what happened two hours ago.
After getting along with each other for such a long time, Lu Li knew very well that although Mi Gao was young, he planned things very well. He often thought about the vegetables he would buy at the market tomorrow the day before, and even thought clearly about which dish to cook first.
The Butterfly Effect.
Pan Ming flashed a word in his mind and quickly reminded: "You must be careful when using it in the future to prevent the situation from getting worse."
There are fixed numbers and variables in the development of anything. During the development process, its development trajectory has rules to follow. At the same time, there are also unpredictable variables. Even a small change can affect the development of things.
"But you have to try. Otherwise, you won't know what to do if you use it at a critical moment."
Duke also expressed his opinion. It would be difficult to reassure people without knowing the specific purpose of the props.
Do we have to reach a desperate situation and have no other choice before we take it out?
Unable to maximize benefits.
In fact, Lu Li also had a similar plan. It was impossible not to try at all. He had to make good use of this special prop.
"How about choosing a safer time point first?"
Facing Lu Li's suggestion, Pan Ming nodded and said solemnly: "I passed by the corpse ground in the early morning and encountered a black silhouette. I also met the famous East District detective, Justice Johnny, nearby. "
"Where? South Street, Whitechapel District..."
"Middle section, near a pub."
Pan Ming gave the answer directly.
Almost at the same time, Duke looked at Lu Li, his meaning self-evident.
The body that was thrown into the Thames!
It turns out that another body does not provide many key clues, not to mention, as the leaders of the investigation, the two know the final result.
"At that time, we left the Financial City and were on our way to visit Sherlock Holmes. If we crossed over rashly, we might lose the friendship of the legendary detective."
"No." Lu Li understood Duke's worry and said firmly: "While eating, Officer Wensley offered to make a recommendation on his behalf."
"It happened the day before, so there was no disruption, right?"
"Probably."
Lu Li didn't finish his words.
After all, everyone lacks relevant experience.
"You can't let go of that black silhouette. Besides, Mr. Holmes is easy to get in touch with. Please carefully recall the process of getting along with him..."
Hearing this, Duke nodded. He had been persuaded by Lu Li. From this point of view, it was just delaying the process of making friends with Holmes, which was completely acceptable.
"Then let's get started."
