Chapter Seventy-Three - Detective in the Land of Twilight 01

Britain is a powerful empire that once occupied half of the world with its strong military strength. Its territory and colonies have spread all over North America to any corner www.biquge.info of the seven continents of Asia, and the prestige of the empire on which the sun never sets has resounded in the world, but it has also lost its former hegemony because of the backward colonial system in just a few decades.

Today, the sun of the empire on which the sun never sets, has been dubbed the 'twilight country' by France. Judging from the current situation, this description has to be said to be very appropriate.

10 rue Baker, Dior's next residence. Like a child who left her parents and lived alone, she didn't take into account any situation and didn't make any preparations, but fortunately, the original decoration and furniture were also bought, saving Dior a lot of trouble. The three-storey house looks unpretentious on the outside, with only the windows on the first and second floors visible from the front, and Dior walks into his 'new home' with a key that has never been used.

On the right hand side of the first-floor entrance, there is a hanger, and if you look at it, you can see an old-fashioned large concave desk, an old telephone on the desk, and a blanket on a mahogany chair that is still as bright as new. On the left-hand side is the staircase to the second floor, and the whole room looks like an ordinary European resident of the last century. The fireplace next to the desk looked like it hadn't been used for a long time, and there was a standing cross of the state religion on the fireplace, which should have left with the owner, and it didn't seem to be a devout believer. Dio grabbed the cross and threw it into the stove, then walked up to the second floor.

On the second floor is the living room, where there is still water in the tap and the water heater is still working.

The third floor gave Dior a big surprise, perhaps because the owner moved out lightly, and all the furnishings here were kept intact. The vertical bookshelves against the wall are lined up in Dior's eyes, and the fragrance of books makes the girl who loves books suddenly have a sense of happiness, and the bookshelf in the middle of the room is also inserted with a sign that says "favorite", separating the desk from the stairs, forming a relatively closed space. The ladder leading to the attic was set up at the window, and after looking around, Dior took a copy of Faust from the shelf and climbed the ladder up to the attic.

The original owner seems to have children, and the attic is a children's room, with a locker placed on the cedar board, and some cute ornaments that have not had time to be taken away, which seems to be a girl's room. There are sticky notes on the closet next to the bed, and trivial things like 'tomorrow is Daddy's birthday'. I didn't plan to change this room.

Family... She laughed to herself, and went back to the first floor, where she sat down on her desk and pulled out her pipe. She felt that even if she sat here all day, no one would come to place it, and her personality could be regarded as a lonely mountain, and people who could be called friends in her more than 20 years of life could be counted on one hand. Of course, if you include those 'little brothers' near Kang'an's house, it may be outrageous.

In retrospect, there were a lot of opportunities to make friends when she was a student, and although this withdrawn guy didn't mind making friends for the sake of her 'future', she really couldn't get along with those who only had flowers and tea in their heads. Just looking at the appearance, Sherlock can also be regarded as one of them, but Sherlock just has a lot of conflicts with Dior in terms of concepts, she doesn't hate that kind of character, but the other party's style makes Dior feel very bored.

Smoking, drinking, gambling, and even drug addiction, if you don't know her details, you may only think that she is a respectable person, and after only meeting her, Dior is very disappointed in her. This is the so-called sense of discrepancy between expectations and reality, and Watson on the side... I don't know why, as soon as I saw the middle-aged man, Dio couldn't help but think of John, these two guys with the same name have many differences, when they were in the gun shop, whenever Sherlock called out Watson's name, Dior would always think of his few male **.

Of course, John most of the time had that admiration that came from nowhere. Christian Dior didn't know what attracted him, and he had always shown his 'affection' unreservedly - in the eyes of others. Maybe he himself was unconscious, but Daddy Ian told Dio in a serious tone before he left that if he didn't like John, it would be better to reject him directly.

That being said, John never expressed his own emotions directly. When you encounter something that can't be solved, you will generally come to Dior first... If you think about it this way, before you start your 'trip', almost all of the poor and not painful memories are the figure of this rich young master.

After all, what does John have to do with her doing these things? Is it just because of Daddy Ian's words, she is so desperate? The girl doesn't quite understand, she doesn't have any heartbeat in love, like a rock, if she has to find someone to 'live with for a lifetime' now, then the choice will definitely not be the rich young master, but the strong little girl, Yuru Chapek, this unrealistic 'lifestyle' is what she wants, and she doesn't care about ordinary people's opinions at all.

I, Dio Connor, just want to live a peaceful life... Not really. At some point the smoke filled the room, and she sighed and extinguished the fire in her pipe. Don't you even know what you think? Is it possible that your emotional intelligence is unexpectedly low?

Just as she was thinking about these things, an unexpected knock was heard on the door, drawing her to look at the door. The girl couldn't help but guess who would come to her at such a time, and the first thing that came to mind was the realistic consideration of the newspaper salesman and the big-nosed employee who collected utility bills, and then immediately thought of the police who would send the information to the residents of "22-1B Baker Street", which was only 100 meters away from her home.

"Come in, the door is unlocked. When the girl opened Faust, she didn't look down and looked down at the book.

"What an accident, it doesn't look like a new home. ”

It was not the police who entered, but the residents of 22-1B themselves. Sherlock took off her coat and hung it on a hanger, and sat down at the desk under Dior's unexplained gaze, holding a file bag in her hand and throwing it on the desk, while asking, 'Is there a fire?'.

"Did you come in person? Dio put down the book, untied the strings of the file bag, and took out the materials inside.

"There are actually some problems as well, like... John Connor has returned to England. ”

As soon as he heard the news, Dio couldn't stop crying and laughing. She was tired of dealing with the problems left by that guy, and now he suddenly came back at such a sensitive time, what the hell was he going to do. And if what Laman said was true, he was now undoubtedly an enemy of Britain... What do you want to do when you take the plane back to London with a swagger?

"It's all written in the information, John Connor is now receiving political asylum as a technical provider, and the reason he left the UK was because of the technical exchange, which is classified. I really can't think of this hand, and... Let's read on for details. ”

Sherlock said as he pulled the match from the matchbox on his desk.

It's not just what Dior wants, it's also clear what she doesn't want. As early as four years ago, Hugh Hudson's dean discovered John Connor's great talent, and he was secretly selected to the Ministry of Defense Research Institute, and it was not until Dior's return to London that the information about him was partially declassified, and only people with 'some status' like Sherlock, Dior, and Yuru could know about it.

The Gangs of Manchester, the Skull and Bones Society, did have a relationship with him, but that was with permission. And most importantly... He was also elected as one of the logistics members of the "D-10" Joint Operations Department on the grounds that he was not only scientifically knowledgeable, but also knowledgeable about weapons intelligence that might emerge in the future. On the other hand, he himself hopes that he will be able to join the War Department itself, not the Logistics Department.

"This guy—" Dior gritted his teeth as he threw down the document.

Anyone knows that is a polite remark, Hugh Hudson College has a great relationship with the Queen, after all, it is called the last 'royalist'. Everything he did might have been ordered by the Queen, and it was all controlled by Her Majesty, who lived high in the palace... I really didn't expect that I thought that the royal power of Britain had long been weakened and useless, but I didn't realize that my actions were completely manipulated by that guy.

The good thing is that the results are not bad.

"Looks like you're not reconciled?" Sherlock smiled and took a puff on his pipe, "don't you think that's the way the world should be? ”

"I never thought about it that way, I just hated the feeling of being kept in the dark," Dior said, "Don't you think it's scary to feel that if someone is calculating you, you know nothing?"

"It's going to be a good challenge," Sherlock replied confidently, his eyes full of genuine affection under the shallow dark circles, "I love puzzles and challenges, especially when they're not solved yet, so they're valuable." The previous case is closed, and I have to thank you for the lead. ”

"Really?" said Dior, noncommittally, "so, he came in person just for such a small thing?"

"Of course not, I'm here for something else, and it's something that can only be solved by begging for a "monster". ”

Raising his eyebrows, his eyes facing each other, and silent malice permeating the surroundings, Dior slowly lowered his hand and put it on his waist, where his favorite gun was pinned.

"Don't be nervous, since it's confidential, I know it, and I know that there's nothing to be nervous about. ”

Leisurely, without worrying about Dior's move.
