"Are you supposed to explain something to me? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

When he went back, Sherlock, who was waiting for Watson to drive in, said to Dio, who had been keeping his head down. Dio, who was thinking about Julianne, raised his head and pouted indifferently.

"Didn't you already know? ”

"You have to need something to confirm your conjecture, and it doesn't make any sense to just conjecture, has that Julianne met you?"

"Do you remember when I asked D-10 to spy on Jack the Ripper's associates? That's when she appeared in front of me disguised as a relative of Martha Tabrien. ”

But she's not Jack the Ripper. The letter was indeed written by her, and there is no evidence that she is Jack the Ripper, the only thing that is certain is that she is involved in the incident. In fact, Dio's purpose in proposing a gamble with Julianne was to get Sherlock to try to find clues in the room that were visible to the naked eye while she was trying to get Julianne's attention. What the final result was, Dio had to wait for Sherlock to speak.

"Disguise? I'm guessing you saw through her disguise at first sight, and beat her up. Sherlock immediately guessed the situation.

"It's just two punches. And it can be regarded as an insurance policy for today, the smell of her blood, I remember very clearly. You know what, right? Who's pretending to be curious?"

"So, what about your guess? Why can't she be Jack the Ripper?"

Because she is just a rat in the sewer, this kind of person knows best how to protect herself, how to take advantage and avoid harm. None of the things she did proved that she had a direct connection to Jack the Ripper, and the letter sent to the CNA was at best a malicious prank if it had to be convicted... The letter sent with the liver seems to prove that she is Jack the Ripper... However, she wouldn't be stupid enough to send the real thing. We came here before the DNA test results came out, and now you can go to the police station to confirm that - if they can find the Academy of Sciences or a good forensic doctor to do a DNA test or a cross-section test for them. ”

The rats in the stinky ditch know best how to get a little 'mercy' of their own in the leftovers that people discard, and they are full of hope when they have abandoned their souls and beliefs. They will do whatever it takes to survive, even if it's just to give them a little hope of tomorrow. Tomorrow will be different, and one day it will change, filling one's stomach with what one is left, and deeply disgusted with one's filthy body and resolute soul.

Just imagine, even in the casino, people who don't dare to win too much, for fear of guilt, will take risks to kill people. Julie Anne said that she didn't kill anyone, she really didn't lie, she just did cover up the truth for "a certain organization".

“... A new era may be coming, Sherlock. Dio said with some wistfulness.

"Do you mean those toys that your brother invested in research?" Sherlock also looked a little dissatisfied, "It sounds pretty good in the advertisement, if it weren't for the fact that I'm happy with who I am now, I'd love to change these hands to a functional... For example, there are built-in scalpels or laboratory instruments, which are helpful for detectives. ”

“... You look like you're eager to take the plunge?"

"Of course not, dear. It's just that if the times are advancing and new things are emerging, what we can do is not resist and prejudice. As much as I don't like your brother's theories, what the "Scarr" company is doing so far is not harmful to society, and we can't prove anything to do with the Jack the Ripper affair. ”

Miss Detective spread her arms as if acting for her, and the wind began to blow, and a glimmer of light on the horizon was obscured by the haze.

"It's going to be a storm. Can you believe it? The east wind will blow next. ”

"There is no east wind in England, only the prevailing west wind here. ”

"Yes, England has never been tested in this way. The wind is blowing, and the cold is biting, and many people will wither because of it. But this is the gust of the times, and the scenery after the storm has passed, will be more open than ever. ”

Suddenly, Dio saw a hint of determination in the girl's eyes. She was silent, she had already thought of what Sherlock would do. With the detective's fanatical persistence, she will give everything for her beliefs, including her own life. It was diametrically opposed to Dior's beliefs, but I have to admit that it was a great idea. Dio remembered that he was willing to work with the detective because she was so different from the hypocrites.

She does not define justice, but acts only for the justice of others. She does not speak of justice, and only decides cases to satisfy her own mind. Neither a 'messenger of justice' nor a 'slave of desire'. If she could exchange her life for a short period of peace in this world, she would not hesitate to end her short life. It was an enviable existence, and the gods of mythology were nothing more than ordinary humans full of malicious slander compared to her, and if such an empty and powerful person was enough to be called a god, she was undoubtedly enough to be among the "saints".

“... Have you thought about it?" Dior subconsciously touched the pocket where he usually put his pipe, only to find that he was wearing a long dress.

"You look beautiful in a dress, Dior, you have to learn something like that, even if the snow melts after noon, you should take it in stride. ”

She said.

“... Melting snow turns into water, evaporation, rainfall, and so on. For a long time, I will always get tired of seeing such scenery countless times," Dior shrugged, "but you don't seem to be tired of seeing the same scenery, because it's human?"

"Because I love snow, Dior. Snow kills many people, and the poor and old fear the season, but when the snow melts, spring comes. ”

What the hell was she trying to say?, Dio vaguely aware, but she didn't continue. She wouldn't accept Sherlock's rhetoric, at the end of the day, they were like two sides of the same coin. It's a strange thing when you fully agree with the other person's statement... But is that really the case?

Dior just pinned his expectations for the legendary detective on this Miss Detective. She was always just a human being, a human being of flesh and blood, acting in order to satisfy her desires/desires. She is not a "sage", but she can always see through Dior's thoughts, like a god who sees everything at a glance, and is so 'ruthless' to everyone.

Perhaps, as the rain said that day, she and Sherlock are essentially the same kind of people. They just have different beliefs and just want to move forward for themselves.

“... Did you find any useful clues?"

"Not a lot. First of all, Julianne's house has a promotional poster for the "Scar" company, but that may be just a trick. We followed Julianne's house with the clues they gave us, which means that the next clues are most likely fake. But, I have an idea... Listen up..."

Sherlock spoke slowly.

“... If, as you said, the Skal Corporation has the technology to replicate brain memories and give them new bodies, then I can think of only one person who is extremely interested in it. Do you remember the Raven Man incident, the daughter of Sir Blois..."

“！”

Dio was a little surprised, she had never thought that there was a direct connection between these events.

"That's the basic thing. The company "Skal" seems to have appeared out of thin air, and we all know what MI5 knows. Instead of expecting the secret service groups, I'm going to see for myself what they do. But... Isn't it strange that MI5, which investigates the situation in the country, doesn't even know who the leader of a company is, which is big news. Therefore, I suspect that the British government is behind "Skar". But it's not just the British government, the prime minister just has great expectations for this technology, and everyone wants to master this technology first. ”

"Sir Blois has enough motivation to help Skar complete their skills, and whoever is behind Skar may have some connection to Jack the Ripper, but I now think they are certainly not the real murderers. Sir Blois, the Avar affair, the Manchester mafia, and the Raven Man... Something that ties it all together, I think I'll find it soon. I'll go to the company of Skar to make dealings, Dior, and you'll go to Shevolt again to find our Sir Blois. ”

If the Avar Incident was just to find some experiments and volunteers for the technology of the "Skal" company and John, then the Raven Incident was a symbol of the maturity of technology. The Raven Man in Sir Blois' territory is just a front, and the real purpose is to legitimize the treatment, and if the Raven Man disappears, the case will naturally be closed. John took the Raven Man and Aisha with him, and since then the clues between Dio and Sherlock have been completely broken. In the next Jack the Ripper incident, the two had vaguely guessed that the mastermind behind the scenes was related to John's technology, but the main 'evidence' had already been erased from the previous incident.

The corpses of the prostitutes were nothing more than empty shells, and they might have become part of the "Skar" company, cheering for the new life they had given them.

“... I have been preparing for this for a long time. Dior said lightly.

"Oh, isn't that Mary Carey?" Sherlock chuckled, "she's your "undercover" now, isn't she? ”

"Exactly, it's my world now, Sherlock. Dio's eyes narrowed.
