While waiting anxiously, Officer Wensley put down his knife and fork and picked up the tin box of butter pudding.
"You two, if you are in a hurry, you can leave first without sending me away. In fact, there is a police station on the nearby street. I can just stay there for one night."
Eaters have short mouths, and takers have short hands.
This expensive dinner made the police officer a little uneasy.
"That's all."
A well-placed apology appeared on Duke's face, and he said helplessly: "Time is really tight. I didn't expect it would take so long to eat. I apologize for the poor hospitality."
"it's okay no problem."
"How about tomorrow at noon? I've always wanted to meet the legendary detective."
As he said that, Lu Li said regretfully, "I'm going to my old friend's house soon. This is something we agreed on in advance. Otherwise, I really want to visit Mr. Holmes."
Two drama stars and a precocious child teamed up to put on a good show. Wensley was always kept in the dark and did not realize that the person eating with him had actually changed a long time ago.
"Tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, I will wait for you two at the gate of Westminster Cathedral. Then, how about we go visit that gentleman together?" the police officer said thoughtfully.
"good."
"See you there or see you."
Smiles appeared on their faces.
Then, Duke stood up and said, "Check out."
"Secret lamb chops for four people are two pounds, plus oxtail soup is three pounds and six shillings, plus two pan-seared halibut... three small glasses of rum are eight pounds, and four puddings are provided free of charge by our store. Finally, The service charge is six shillings, making the total eight pounds six shillings.”
Compared with before, this time I ordered four more puddings for four people, but the store didn't charge me, but the service charge was an extra shilling.
This can be considered a change.
In addition, so far, nothing strange has been discovered.
On the sidelines, Wensley lamented that as a senior superintendent, he was so poor, while watching Duke pay the money readily.
"Let's go."
"See you tomorrow, no, this afternoon."
After paying the bill, Duke took the windbreaker from the waiter, put it on his body, and walked out quickly.
Lu Li and his little friend Mi Gao, on the other hand, suppressed their thoughts and followed.
What happened to that pocket watch?
Will there be any changes after completing the half-day time travel?
While thinking, Duke pulled the carriage over, fixed the awning, and shouted:
"It's too late, get in the car quickly."
Amid the urging, Xiaomi grabbed the armrest and quickly got into the car.
"Have a nice trip and see you in the afternoon."
At the door of the restaurant, the police officer waved his hand and watched the carriage go away.
Lu Li smiled back, and then completely sealed the carriage, cutting off the outside world.
"gentlemen……"
Mi Gao called softly.
After nearly ten minutes of calming down, he became much calmer, but the desire for discovery in his heart became stronger.
Travel through time.
This is a legendary ability that only gods have. Is Mr. Lu a magician?
Like Merlin.
Of course, Lu Li didn't know this, and the boy actually connected him with Merlin, the legendary figure in England.
"One try."
Faced with doubts, Lu Li thought for a moment and decided to use the information gap to smooth over the matter.
try?
Xiaomi Gao was a little helpless. He wanted to know the specific principle, whether it was through a magic ritual or a legendary sacred weapon. Why did he come with it?
In fact, Lu Li also wanted to know the answer to the latter question, since only three people traveled through it for the first time...
It seems that this thing is not controllable.
Mi Gao pressed on to the disappointment in his heart and asked another question, "Then can we still go back?"
"it should be OK."
Considering that the little boy was just a child and had never been exposed to such situations before, Lu Li decided to be more patient and added: "Don't worry about safety, I will always stay by your side."
"You will take me with you no matter what, right?"
Mi Gao moved.
According to normal development, the carriage should drive to Baker Street, where Mr. Holmes would be dropped off before arriving at his home——
Go home and sleep.
To be honest, Mi Gao really wanted to participate in the action, stay with Lu Li and be his assistant, so that he could not only help him, but also learn something instead of cooking in the kitchen.
"If you are not afraid of seeing something bloodier, I believe Lu Li will be willing."
Duke suddenly spoke.
This made Mi Gao feel hopeful, and he looked at Lu Li expectantly, "Sir, I have been making a living on the streets since I was six years old, cleaning people's shoes. I have seen all kinds of scenes, and I am not afraid of danger."
Having said that, what else could Lu Li say? He originally wanted to teach the young man some medical skills and leave him some money before leaving so that he could go to Cambridge or Oxford to study in the future, so he wouldn't have to worry about anything in his life.
Now it seems that I can only deal with secrets and work as an investigator.
"All right."
Mi Gao's determined look made Lu Li feel that there was no need to persuade him anymore. After all, after experiencing this time travel, a seed of seeking true knowledge had been planted in his heart.
"Have you two masters and disciples finished talking? Take a look at that watch and see what has changed."
Duke was sitting outside driving, unable to see the scene inside, so he felt a little anxious.
Hearing this, Lu Li no longer hesitated and took out his pocket watch directly from his jacket pocket.
It has aged at a rate visible to the naked eye, and the silver cover covering the outside is somewhat mottled, but the various patterns engraved on it are still clearly visible.
Click, the cover pops open.
What made Lu Li happy was that the scale had not aged and was still the same as before.
"In this case, it can be used at least five times, and possibly more, but it can no longer be implemented. The opportunity is too precious."
Duke said as he drove his luxury car speeding down the road.
This crossing was not wasted.
If they follow Officer Wensley and follow the trajectory of fate, they will indeed gain something, but they will miss another more critical murder scene.
Pan Ming claimed that he had met the strange silhouette and even briefly fought against it.
Because of this, in order to obtain the key clues to solve the case, Duke suggested: "It is now 0:13. No matter how fast the carriage is, it will take half an hour to reach the corpse place. Why don't you go there first?"
"good."
Lu Li put away his pocket watch and handed the leather book to Mi Gao for safekeeping. Then he opened the awning and jumped out.
In heavy rain.
A figure ran, or rather flew, at a speed that could not be observed by the naked eye.
To him, the theory of gravity by the great scientist Newton seemed to have failed. A full half-hour drive only took a few minutes.
"Mr. Du."
Looking at the empty seat next to him, Mi Gao was stunned. When the carriage was speeding, if a normal person jumped off, would he break his leg?
When I think about the time-traveling thing that has already happened, it is actually not difficult to accept that it would be faster to jump from the car and walk.
