A drizzle of rain fell.
Baker Street, 221.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, there was a strange noise in Holmes's studio, and then, smoke exploded at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was no bigger than a fist at first, but soon expanded outwards and filled the entire building.
"Cough cough cough..."
"This smell, cough!"
In the white smoke, Officer Wensley kept coughing, covered his nose and said, "It's too strange."
"Alas, failed again!"
There was a sigh.
Looking through the thick fog, I could vaguely see someone walking near the window sill.
There was a click, and as the glass window was opened, the smoke quickly dissipated, and Holmes finally appeared.
Elegant, thin, with a square and strong chin, and a head of curly hair that seems to have not been taken care of for a long time.
"Long time no see, Mr. Holmes."
The smoke completely subsided, and a smile appeared on Officer Wensley's face again, and he took the initiative to say hello.
Wensley was more modest than his colleagues, even though he was high-ranking.
In addition, the police officer is also willing to go deep into the abyss of Whitechapel to help the poor as much as possible.
It is not easy to find a young and elegant leader among a group of idiots.
The above is what Holmes said about Wensley.
"haven't seen you for a long time."
As he spoke, a pair of gray eyes glanced at Lu Li and others, wondering: "Who are these?"
"The detective team commissioned by the East District Serial Murder Case." Wensley explained softly, "There are several people who have admired you for a long time and want to come and visit."
“Don’t young people nowadays like to fight alone anymore?”
With that said, Holmes quickly walked to the wine cabinet, took out two bottles of brandy from it, turned on the stove, poured wine for everyone, and said:
"Sit anywhere you want, just don't touch those collections."
Clay pipes... cherrywood pipes... Persian slippers stuffed with tobacco... magic scrolls... parchments...
Bai Yu and his party looked around like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They felt that every collection in this place was valuable, and they subconsciously wanted to be a licking dog.
If Sherlock Holmes is made happy, and the legendary detective chooses one of the hundreds of things in front of him as a gift for the first meeting, wouldn't it be like taking off from the same place?
It's a pity that Juan Fu is not a boy who makes money.
At this moment, Holmes was caught in a dilemma. Among the visitors, there were two people whom he felt particularly close to, especially when Duke took out his pipe and asked:
"Do you mind smoking?"
To be honest, the moment he saw the briar pipe, Holmes even wanted to turn around, take all his cherry wood pipes and Persian slippers, and let everyone enjoy them while chatting.
However, the feminine-looking man next to him made him disgusted for no reason. There was no reason, it was completely from the heart.
As for Bai Yu and the others, Holmes didn't care at all. They were as inconspicuous as passers-by.
"Please help yourself."
Holmes suppressed the doubts in his heart and responded with a smile.
The scene became a little weird.
In fact, Lu Li was also wondering. When they met in the original time and space, Holmes was particularly enthusiastic, talkative and funny. Why did he seem to be a different person now?
Thanks to Officer Wensley's mediating effect, the atmosphere was less cold.
"Last night, Watson sent the invitation letter, but as you can see, I have some personal matters to be busy with recently..."
Holmes did not follow common sense and declined the invitation to participate in the investigation of the serial murder case, which made everyone present frown.
"What's more, with the help of so many excellent private investigators, the truth will surely be found out soon."
Duke looked surprised and was about to ask, when he saw Lu Li shaking his head slightly towards him.
"That's such a shame."
"I thought I could investigate the case with you and get to the bottom of the matter..."
At this point, Lu Li sighed, changed the subject, and said, "But can you provide us with some necessary help? For example, some occult knowledge."
"certainly."
Holmes answered very simply, seeming to have forgotten that he had just politely rejected Scotland Yard's request, and continued: "If you encounter any difficulties, come here to see me at any time. If I am not here, you can leave a message."
This attitude...
Lu Li vaguely guessed what was going on.
In fact, not only him, Pan Ming also noticed it in his heart, and his mood was particularly complicated.
Who would have thought that the entrance exam would leave such serious sequelae!
"Mr. Holmes, do you have any relevant records about the Supreme Mother Goddess?"
After calming down for a while, Lu Li had accepted the reality. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for him and Duke to leave Pan Ming and go it alone, so they would not take Holmes with them.
It is enough that the other party is willing to provide relevant information.
"Which legend are you referring to? The Far East or Northern Europe."
"The goddess of darkness and fertility, the black goat of the forest who gave birth to thousands of descendants."
"It seems that you have found the clues, and your ideas coincide with Justice Johnny's."
Holmes turned around, searched for a moment among the bookshelves full of books, and added: "Here, He is mentioned above, but the authenticity of the content is difficult to verify."
"Because it doesn't say who the original author is, and the entire article is in modern English."
Lu Li took the manuscript in a binder from Holmes and guessed, "It's probably a translation."
"Yes, the person who wrote this book is an archaeologist. He claimed at the beginning that he had discovered a large number of murals in an underground cave near the North Sea, as well as a large number of runes engraved on them."
"After ten years of study and translation, the author translated it all. However, he passed away just two days after the book was written and without enough time to streamline and proofread it."
"About half a century later, this first draft found its way to the Covent Garden market. The seller was the grandson of an archaeologist. He had no serious job and made a living by selling family antiquities at low prices."
Holmes has an amazing memory and can tell the origins and related stories of all collections.
[During the new moon, Shub Nicholas can be summoned in any forest area...]
[Awakening Shub Nicholas, the black goat of the forest that has given birth to millions of descendants, requires the sacrifice of things related to the birth of life]
[Summoning: Yeah! Shub Nicholas! The black goat of the forest that gives birth to millions of descendants! 】
Lu Li's eyes swept over a large amount of known content and useless content, and he quickly extracted valuable information.
Life gestation?
This is not something that can be accomplished by one person.
Why do pagans have to focus on unclean women?
Until now, Lu Li still hasn't found a clear answer to this question and can only continue to speculate.
"Take this book first and study it slowly. I will also help you pay attention to the classics about the Supreme Mother Goddess."
