The so-called final battle is a term that is only used when the game is evenly matched. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 The loser may like this word, but for the overwhelmingly strong side, the term is just a joke, and the enemy simply has no capital to fight him. The party who often thinks this way will be the first to show flaws. The contempt of the enemy is one of the best weapons, and Christian Dior is convinced. It's just that she still has some doubts, and these things are related to the so-called "truth". Although the truth is not important, this time, Dior is desperate to understand everything behind it.

The shady scene behind the Avar affair, the subtle connection between the Raven Man and Jack the Ripper, who is the person who played all this between the applause? Is it a huge state apparatus? No, even if the prime minister says to himself, "Don't meddle in this matter", Dior still feels that the black hand behind these events is not led by the British. The reason why this country is called the twilight country is precisely because the civil servants who seek stability are the ones who really control Britain, which is different from the Ming Empire, different from the Soviet Union, and even different from the United States.

Behind the scenes of the Avar incident, it seems that the group that supports the queen did it, but in essence, the rights of the royal family have not changed. The queen is still only able to command the hunter department at her disposal, ostensibly grasping the handle of the nascent capitalist faction, but in the final analysis, it is only putting the ruler of the country into the hands of another faction, just like the change of office, which has no impact on the country. And who has benefited the most from this?

Wait, you don't have to think in terms of profit. If you can make your enemies disappear, then even if it is slightly harmful to yourself, it is acceptable. Who, then, would not hesitate to accept the Skull and Bones Society, risking offending the Soviet Union and the Ming Empire to engage with the United States in order to make something disappear from the world?

“... It's really rare, as soon as you come back, you can see your stinky face, usually with a smirk waiting to laugh at me," Sherlock opened the door and saw Dior sitting in her place, she pulled out a letter from the inside of her coat, still on the table, "Not long ago, Jack the Ripper sent another letter to the CNA, I don't think you're interested in the contents, but..."

Sherlock paused, not immediately uttering the following words, and Dio picked up the letter, which did not contain anything special. The corpse that lost its liver... There were no stains on the letter, and the handwriting was unusual, just... Dio sensed that something was wrong, and even though there was nothing unusual about the letter, she still felt a sense of disobedience, where was the dissonance?

"What do you want to do, let your men kill people like that," Sherlock asked Dior in a cold voice.

Dio suddenly stood up, startling Sherlock.

There is nothing special about this letter, it is very ordinary indeed. Even the handwriting isn't special, but... The reason why this letter made Dio feel discordant was that the handwriting of the letter was very different from all the handwriting she had seen in her life. It's not that there's anything special about the person writing it, it's the pen used. In this era when most people still use cheap fountain pens, and even some villages still use quill pens, this letter is not written with these two pens, but with a ballpoint pen.

In this era, this newly invented pen was not widely used, and there were only a handful of ways to buy it, and it was almost impossible to find a single merchant in London who could sell it. Officials will not use this pen to write official documents, although the ballpoint pen is cheaper, but the ballpoint pen is now the same as the fountain pen, but it is a precious product that will leak ink when it is bumped. Its only advantage over fountain pens is that the ink does not stain the paper when writing on thin letter paper like Dior's hand.

And most importantly, the ink of the ballpoint pen is oily and dries slowly, and when you wipe it up with your hand when you finish writing a letter, the ink will become mushy, and it will drag out a slender ink line. Although it does not affect the reading, this is indeed the case in the letter, which is the origin of Dior's wonderful sense of disobedience. As for who will buy this pen, first of all, it is by no means a clerical person related to official documents, and there are strict requirements for the writing, printing and paper of official documents, and even the box containing official documents must be of the specified style.

It was necessary to write a large amount of text, and because the paper of the writing was as thin as letterhead, and the ink of ordinary fountain pens was easily impregnated and the paper was damaged, the ballpoint pen was a convenient new invention. The private profession that meets these requirements is not a surgeon in the first place, and the standardized medical system also requires the paper used for medical records and prescriptions. Then there are teachers, but most of today's teachers are people of one age, and they prefer pens that have been with them for a certain period of time rather than ballpoint pens, and this is also true for writers of a similar age.

"How many do you think there are in London of young teachers, or young authors, who live in London, who have wandered around the White Parish and who have a certain knowledge of medicine?"

"I'm calling the police station now. Sherlock probably understood what Dio might have in mind, and she immediately picked up the phone and broadcast it to the police station.

After explaining the situation, Sherlock and Dior had to wait for the results of the investigation.

"You can surely imagine what the Prime Minister and the Queen are meeting me for," Dior rubbed her temples, she squinted at the crystal slipper that Sherlock had placed in her office, which already had some cracks, "The Prime Minister said that I should not use the "D-10" to investigate this matter, I think this means that he may know that the Jack the Ripper incident is related to the official, and he said that he personally advised me not to delve into these things. ”

"Not necessarily, dear Dior," Sherlock hung up, "you don't care about politics, so you don't quite understand what kind of person the prime minister is." He became Chancellor of the Exchequer in his 50s, but he behaved like a stunned young man, and after saying stupid things like "transparent government", he caused a lot of resentment. But after becoming prime minister, he seemed to have suddenly changed people, and some aspects of his skills have to be said to be surprising. He remained committed to making Britain strong, at least for what he did. The little girl Čapek was also pushed to the post of Minister of Defense by him. After hearing these words, what do you think he said to you for?"

“... Because I'm doing a good job? But this time I'm using the public stuff to investigate local affairs... Is that so?" Dior nodded knowingly, "that is, you think he, or the British government, doesn't know the inside story of Jack the Ripper?"

"Not necessarily, but we can take the Prime Minister's words as a tacit approval," Sherlock banged on the table, unleashing a rhythmic sound, "and he just told you to 'not look into this matter in the name of 'D-10,' not to tell you." And, he said 'privately', you know, he cares about the safety of our Dr. Capek, who is on the same page as the Ministry of Defense. And now you're part of the Ministry of Defense, and he's afraid that something will happen to you. According to... In the year he became prime minister, he was included in the assassination list. He was terrified for more than a month, and then MI6 told him that his name had been canceled from the assassination list. ”

"I guess he doesn't know whether to be happy or sad. ”

"Yes... It's funny, and not being assassinated is supposed to be a good thing, but for a head of state, it means that you don't even have the value of being assassinated. The same thing can lead to diametrically opposed results from two perspectives, isn't it? ”

Dior raised an eyebrow.

"Are you saying you don't know what the Prime Minister is up to?"

"I'm just trying to understand from the perspective that politicians have always been hard to understand, but you just need to understand that they will definitely think of a 'win-win' situation, and at the same time give you benefits, they will definitely make you sacrifice something for them, and vice versa. ”

"That's the end of it, he promised me the rank of major, and the Lord of the Garter the Queen said," Dior pursed, "and can you make me a cup of tea?" ”

"It's a pleasure. The reason why the "D-10" chose you as the head of the war department means that it has nothing to do with the prime minister, this is a matter for the Ministry of Defense. As for Lord Garter... I think it's because you saved Yuru. You know, when the Prime Minister and the Queen have to set aside something in their free time to meet someone, and only tell them what you deserve, no matter how friendly they may seem, it's just a matter of routine. For example..."

Sherlock picked up the teapot, thought for a moment, took out a ten-sided dice from the drawer of the coffee table, weighed it for a moment, and then threw it at Dior.

"Politicians are the dice, and when they became politicians, they decided that they would show people like that. From one to ten numbers, each number represents a way of doing things, they know how to show which side of themselves better than anyone else, the dice are always full of randomness, you don't know what the result will be, but they know that if you want to get the number you want, you just need to use that side to face yourself. ”

“... Interestingly, I guess this dice will only roll a 10 in my hand. Dio chuckled and threw the dice onto the table.

The multi-faceted diamond-shaped dice stopped at the number she wanted after a few spins, and Dio didn't even look at it.

Then it's time to figure out the "truth". ”

"I can't wait. ”
