"According to you, where did the child go? Another world, or somewhere else."
Lu Li somewhat understood what Holmes meant, but he was still not sure.
After all, knowledge is limited.
Of course, there are specialties in the arts, and what he is best at is fighting. Moreover, doesn’t Holmes know the contents recorded in the Book of Forbidden Words?
Because of this, Lu Li felt very balanced and humbly asked the detective in front of him for advice.
"Do you think there is anything else outside our world?"
Mr. Holmes was not in a hurry to answer. He first asked a question and waited for Lu Li's response.
If she is a woman who knows nothing, she will probably understand this sentence to mean life outside her own class. After all, the life gap between the poor and the rich is like the two worlds of heaven and hell.
If you ask a learned and educated gentleman, he will order two cups of coffee and talk enthusiastically about the existence beyond the earth, such as:
Moon, Mars.
But that's the extent of it, because the geocentric theory has just been recognized not long ago, astronomy is still in its infancy, and there is no such thing as cosmic latitudes and parallel worlds.
"Of course, if things that are visible to ordinary people are understood as positive, then things that are invisible to ordinary people, let alone inaccessible, are negative. There are things such as the soul world..."
The tone was full of determination.
After all, in a world where the spiritual tide is recovering, Lu Li, a modern man, is quite good at talking about science. What's more, he has experienced it himself and can be regarded as an experienced time traveler.
Holmes was silent for a few seconds, looked deeply at Lu Li, as if he had guessed something, and said solemnly: "I suspect that the child entered another world. Only in this way can he disappear so completely."
On the side, Lu Li noticed the way Holmes looked at him. He seemed to understand something and figured out some doubts.
Of course, this does not affect the cooperative relationship between the two. It can only be said that the most famous detective in the world actually guessed his own origin from an unrelated topic——
The world we are currently experiencing is closely related to Mr. Conan Doyle. His disappearance caused the virtual character of Sherlock Holmes to appear and become a flesh-and-blood existence.
At the same time, the deep friendship with Conan Doyle in the initial examination was passed on to Holmes.
Frankly speaking, Lu Li was not wrong in his guess, but Holmes's understanding was slightly off.
As an independent existence with a somewhat complete life, he had no reason or possibility to doubt his authenticity. He thought that these inexplicable friendships and hatreds came from a parallel world.
Maybe there was something wrong. The two worlds that did not interfere with each other began to have some influence on each other. Lu Li had a close relationship with himself in the other world, which led to this feeling of feeling like old friends at first sight.
After thinking about this, the doubts lingering in Holmes's mind finally subsided, and he felt much more at ease.
the other side.
Lu Li didn't have so many ideas. He was simply curious. If his conjecture was true, how did the kid named Dick enter the other world.
You know, in London, the number of churches is second only to gardens. After searching for nearly a day, the cafe still could not be found.
Therefore, Lu Li seriously suspected that Miss Meacham had taken that Xibei into a world at another latitude, and that it had an unknown close connection with this world.
"How to confirm..." Lu Li said carefully, "and arrive at that area?"
Holmes, who had a large collection, was similar to a Doraemon who could take out various props from his pocket, so Lu Li had high expectations for him.
seeing is believing.
No matter how the two of them sit here and discuss it, it is better to verify it in person.
"Sorry, I didn't find the 'key'."
Holmes shook his head helplessly. He could deduce the results based on the phenomena, but he was not omniscient and omnipotent. If he could travel between the two worlds at will, why would he bother to ask the poor mother here? He could just go and take a look, right? ?
Hearing this, Lu Li sighed.
While he is gaining knowledge and becoming more powerful, the weird and unknown are becoming more and more difficult in ways and means that are difficult to understand.
"According to my guess, many strange beings are hiding there."
"It can be understood as a place harboring filth and evil. In addition, we need to conduct a survey throughout the city to determine how many children are missing."
At first, Lu Li wanted to include adults, but considering that they were not restrained and had too much initiative, the mortality rate was frighteningly high.
Therefore, at present, only children who are restrained by their parents are considered. Statistics are conducted from Baker Street as the center and outwards, with priority given to families with more advantageous conditions.
It's not that there are double standards. In Lu Li's view, as long as there is no conflict with his own interests, the poor and the rich are actually the same. There is no need to talk about who is noble and who is low. It is purely to make the survey results more scientific.
First of all, children from poor families need to go to the streets to work. Whether they are seven or eight years old, or twelve or thirteen years old, they have the heavy responsibility of supporting themselves and their families, and they have to go out to work at the risk of their lives.
On the other hand, children from middle-class families and above do not need to run around for a living and are cared for by parents or servants, and their mortality rate is lower.
Because of this, investigating the number of missing children in wealthy areas is of great value to this case.
To be honest, this is too realistic and cruel. Neither Lu Li nor other official or unofficial righteous forces can take care of everyone, so they must make choices.
If he hadn't thought of helping Boss Zhou win over Holmes to help the detective agency as soon as possible, the child's life and death really had nothing to do with him, and he would have gone to save other people long ago——
Along the way, the thick fog carried the lingering smell of blood, and the whole city already took the shape of a purgatory.
"Sir, I brought the clothes, two pieces."
In the distance, a voice came.
Madam Eugenie limped in and pushed the door open, handing the clothes to Lu Li. Her eyes were filled with anticipation. She learned about the clinic doctor's glorious record from the two police officers.
Unfortunately, Lu Li was destined to break this lady's heart.
Just as Holmes said, Lu Li put the clothes under his nose and smelled it without hesitation.
Ignoring the interfering smell, apart from the scent of cleaning, there is only the smell of sweat on the clothes. The latter comes from Madame Eugenie. She is very nervous now, her forehead is covered with sweat, and her palms are also covered with sweat.
And this phenomenon is extremely abnormal. As a former user of the clothes, Dick must have left an indelible smell on it, but now it has disappeared without a trace.
"There was no matching scent on the street and it was clear that the child was indeed missing."
Multidimensional world...
Lu Li raised his eyes and looked to his side. Holmes had already lit his pipe.
