Chapter 23: It's all the ruins

"Mr. Sherlock, can you show me your pocket watch?"

Rheintes' pure, serious voice rang in Sherlock's ears.

Sherlock was still in shock, still looking at the gold-encrusted rose pocket watch in his hand, worried about the damage he had bumped into while stumbling down.

Hearing this, Sherlock subconsciously withdrew his hand, put his pocket watch behind him, and looked up at Reintes vigilantly:

"This is my personal belongings, the relics of my parents. Mr. Reintes, I beg your pardon for not being able to hand it over to you, I'm sorry! ”

In Reintes' gray-blue eyes, there was no dissatisfaction, but he smiled:

"If you insist, I certainly don't force it. But in order to prove that the previous strange phenomenon was not caused by this pocket watch, I need your cooperation to stay under the bottom layer of the Wall of Emblems for a while to test if there is still any danger. ”

"Of course, if you don't want to spend a few days in the harsh environment at the bottom, then let me take a brief look at the pocket watch. What do you think? ”

Sherlock looked at Reintes speechlessly.

This guy seems to be polite and friendly, but he is also a black-bellied ...... I'm a black belly and a black belly, and I'm an opponent in chess......

Sherlock thought for a moment, first took the pocket watch in front of his eyes, looked at it, and handed it to Rheintes.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Mr. Sherlock."

Reintes politely took the pocket watch, and first put it in his palm to examine it carefully.

Rooney and Origan hurried over to get closer and take a closer look.

After watching it for a long time, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

It's just an ordinary pocket watch with a gold case, and it's a decades old model. The only value may be a memento.

With a click, the lid is opened, revealing the mirror of the inner lid and the hands of the dial.

The mirror is still bright, revealing a haze of the old model.

The dial and time hand are all in good condition and in good condition.

Reintes focused on the mirror, and even stretched out his finger and rubbed it lightly on the mirror, but there was nothing unusual, it was still normal.

Sherlock resisted the apprehension in his heart, and also stared at his pocket watch carefully.

Although he was sure that the three of Ryantes couldn't see anything, after all, the pocket watch was in the hands of others, so he was afraid of what happened.

"Huh?"

Sherlock stared at the inner lid mirror, and he noticed a few small cracks in the smooth mirror. But the crack did not crack, as if it had been poked by an iron cone, and there were a few faint marks left.

Could it be that just now, I was glanced at by the 'man' on the throne? What is the impact of the pocket watch, and thus the traces it leaves?

But it doesn't look like a trace, like some other miniature little thing, it seems to have handwriting?

The more Sherlock looked, the more puzzled he became.

But the current situation is not the time to study. I had to keep my heart tightly and remain silent.

There was silence in the living room, except for the breathing of a few people who couldn't hide it.

"Alright, Mr. Sherlock, there's nothing wrong with your pocket watch."

Reintes smiled again and handed Sherlock back the pocket watch.

"That's good, it's enough to prove my innocence."

Sherlock muttered, reached out and took it, and tucked the gold-encrusted rose pocket watch into his inner pocket.

Well, when you have a chance to leave, take a closer look at what's on the mirror side of the inner cover...... Sherlock thought to himself, and was about to ask if he could leave.

Rooney suddenly pointed at Sherlock with a righteous face:

"You also have an evil book, I have seen with my own eyes, there are terrible and terrible weirdness in the book!"

"Captain, we should search our bodies to see if he brought that book with him and caused the accident just now!"

Origan immediately said, "I agree, Captain, this kid has a lot of secrets!" The accident just now must have something to do with him! ”

Rheintes' gaze roamed over Sherlock, still smiling:

"If I'm right, you're supposed to have come in with something. In your inner pocket, it looks a little bloated. Can you take it out and take a look? ”

You have dog noses and dog eyes in this team, and I can't afford to mess with them...... Sherlock gritted his teeth secretly, reached out expressionlessly, took out the antique book from his inner pocket, and handed it to Reintus.

If you can't see the abnormality of the pocket watch, then you won't be able to read the book...... Sherlock continued to look at the three Rowners steadfastly, revealing an attitude of indifference.

Sure enough, as Sherlock had guessed, this little antique book was still ordinary in the hands of Reintes.

Except for the classical surface, and a little bit of archaeological value, there is nothing unusual.

"Can I know what this is for?" Reintes asked.

"As a student of senior professor Hoffman, it makes sense that I carry a small book of archaeological knowledge with me, right? What do you say, Mr. Reintes? ”

Sherlock replied unceremoniously, following the tone of Rheintes that had been used before.

Reintes remained calm and smiled.

Rooney's eyes were round, and he even took the small book and observed it repeatedly, and the more he looked at it, the more deflated he became:

"Impossible...... No way...... Am I mistaken? No way! I'm a 'Voyeur Person' at the 9th rank of the Knowledge Mystery Essentia, how can I be wrong?! ”

"Be polite, Rooney, and give it back to Mr. Sherlock." Reintes shook his head.

Rooney gritted his teeth and handed Sherlock back the antique book with a constipated expression.

"There's something weird about this kid, Captain!" Rooney shouted unwillingly, "I have been observing him for two months, is every glance wrong?" It's simply impossible! ”

"And his apartment room." Origan arched Rooney to warn.

"That's right! In his house, there is an extremely eerie black atmosphere! I swear if the captain could be as secretive as I am, he would never let this kid go! ”

Reintes was silent for a moment, gently raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to calm down, and said in a calm tone:

"Mr. Sherlock's rented apartment, if it is really full of strange and strange atmosphere, as you say, then there is only one possibility."

"What is possible?"

Rooney, Origan, and Sherlock all asked in unison.

"Malfoy is the one I've been tracking lately, and he's the latest major danger to be added to the Church, plotting and involving the Mad King. Solomon's Ruins Event'! ”

"I can't give too many details about it."

"But I'm sure that there is a good chance that there is a lot of information about the 'Mad King' that lurks underneath the 23 Baker Street apartment, or in the immediate vicinity. Solomon's ruins. ”

"You all already know, 'Mad King. Solomon's death in a coup siege. Because he was a powerful transcendent, his body was scattered into many ruins, hidden deep in the capital city of London, and in the nearest city of Birzinham. ”

After Reintes finished speaking, he looked at everyone with a serious expression and whispered:

"This is a church secret, and it is forbidden to confide in the outside world until the incident has been dealt with."

"Understood, Captain!" Rooney and Origan nodded cautiously.

But why do you want me to know it, don't you say it's confidential...... Sherlock felt a snack in his heart, but he couldn't speak.

At the same time, there was a faint strangeness in Sherlock's heart, because he felt that Reintes was explaining and excusing him.

"In other words, any strange phenomena that happened in this kid's house are actually related to that ruin?" Origan whispered thoughtfully.

"That should be one of the reasons why Malfoy is so close to him, so to speak." Reintes nodded.

"Rooney, Origan, are you ignoring a problem?" Reintes asked suddenly.

"Huh? Ignore? Rooney and Origan looked at each other, both surprised.

"The Ninth Parish, the office of the Order Hunters. Do you think this Mr. Sherlock would have been able to walk in easily if he had a problem? ”

Rooney and Origan were stunned at the same time, and immediately a little speechless.

Because you enter through the outer living room, you can go down to it through the internal passage and staircase, and the emblem is embedded in the ground along the way. If there is a strange invasion, the first step is difficulty.

But Rooney and Origan, who usually get along with each other, really ignore this problem.

"That'...... This...... Well, the captain meant that what happened just now had nothing to do with him......" Rooney said scratching his head and embarrassed.

"Yes!"

Rheintes nodded, "And in the moment when the Wall of Emblems was calm, I received a signal from the adjudicating deacon of the guards below the ground. It can be confirmed that the accident was caused by the seals stored under the bottom layer. ”

"Why didn't you say it earlier, Captain......" Rooney and Origan continued to embarrass themselves.

"You blame Mr. Sherlock, and you still don't apologize?"

Origan hurriedly arched Rooney, motioning for Rooney to say something to ease the atmosphere.

Rooney's face flushed, and he looked at Sherlock, and muttered for a long time before squeezing out a sentence: "Sherlock...... Mr...... Uh, I have been misunderstood before, really...... Sorry ......"

"I accept your apologies, Mr. Rooney."

Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly closed the coffin to conclusion:

"No one knows me better about the weirdness of the old mausoleums, and as a student of Professor Hoffmann, I have long suspected that there is something wrong with the house. Now that it's been confirmed, I'm relieved and my suspicions are cleared! ”

Seeing that this matter has come to an end, I don't know what will happen if I continue to stay. What's more, in a hurry to check the pocket watch, Sherlock hurriedly said to Reintes:

"Mr. Reintes, it's getting late, I should be able to leave, right?"

"I'm very worried about what is going on with Mrs. Madson now, and I need to go back and see what is going on!"

"Don't worry too much, I just received a message that the damage to the apartment building you are renting is not as bad as you thought." Rheintes said.

How did you get message after message? Are you born with good ears...... Sherlock continued to slander, and then said:

"Then I still have to go back, after all, the loss of private property must also be solved!"

"Okay, then about the inquiry, we'll continue tomorrow." Reintes nodded.

"Coming back?" Sherlock was about to leave, but immediately froze again.

"Good night, Mr. Sherlock. Maybe it's not me looking for you, but you're looking for me to do something. For example, moving or something, hehe......"

Reintes waved his hand indifferently and signaled that he could leave.

Sherlock was puzzled, but still greeted politely, and hurriedly pulled his legs away.
