"It's not too early, but if we were quicker, we would still be able to get to the last train." Although Holmes came in a rented carriage, it would be a bit cramped for seven people to squeeze into a carriage with five people in the squad.

"Is it a horse-drawn carriage?" Ma Shuangcheng asked with some curiosity.

"It looks like they're really coming to London for the first time." Sherlock Holmes smiled slightly, "It's the subway, it's rare to come to England once, how can you do it without taking the subway." ”

Holmes looked at everyone's expressions again, and he continued, "I know you may have a lot of questions, but let's go back to the despicable apartment, let's continue, this is not the place to talk after all. ”

When they heard this, they also knew that it was very abrupt to discuss vampires or other things in such a large public, so they all nodded, willing to leave here first with Holmes.

Then Sherlock Holmes and Watson led a few people to the nearby Whitechapel station, and after Watson took out dozens of shillings to buy a first-class subway ticket for seven chapters, several people took the subway from Whitechapel to Baker Street Station.

Because it was getting late, there was no one else in the spacious first-class carriage except for a few of them.

"I really didn't expect that London in the nineteenth century already had a subway......," Ma Shuangcheng said with emotion, the subway they took at this time, in terms of long distance, but far more than all the subways he had taken in later generations, the overhead gas lamp illuminated the entire carriage, although the color was slightly yellowish because of the color temperature.

"London's Underground has been around for thirty years, and if I were to talk about the greatest masterpieces of the entire nineteenth century, I would definitely vote for what we are riding." "We are now in the greatest century," Holmes said, "and the footsteps of mankind have trodden every part of the planet, and the use of the steam engine, the internal combustion engine, has conquered all the moats of the world." With the spread of electricity, the streets are always lit up, and the dark times are over. The invention of the telephone by Mr. Bell, a Scotsman, has also allowed people to communicate with each other without delay, and the macro world has become smaller and smaller. And in the places we can't see, just in the past two years, Monsieur Roentgen discovered X-rays, Monsieur Becquerel confirmed the radioactivity of uranium, the esteemed Curies also discovered thorium, polonium, and radium, and Mr. Thomson found the electron in cathode rays.

From the macrocosm of the universe to the interior of the atom, the answer seems to have been found in this era, and in the face of such a great century, I am even a little worried about whether mankind will be able to achieve such great things in the twentieth century in the near future. ”

"Can't anyone as intelligent as you, Mr. Holmes, imagine what the future will look like?" Ma Shuangcheng asked with some curiosity, in the eyes of ordinary people, Sherlock Holmes may be one of the smartest people in this era.

"I'm just a mortal, and although I may be good at observation and reasoning, it doesn't mean that I'm superhuman." Sherlock Holmes leaned back on the cushion of the subway seat, his hand holding the cane, "But from the macrocosm of the universe to the atoms of the onlookers, the truth has been found in these foods." But there's so much more to the world we live in...... A lot of things that seem to be inexplicable by reason. ”

"That's right......," Zhu Jue said with a frown, "I think it's very inexplicable that I can't explain why I have to suffer this kind of crime just by taking the subway, I feel like I'm chewing a match in my mouth right now." "After all, the subway is towed by a steam engine, and although there are many vents, the smoke with a strong sulfur smell from the fuel combustion still penetrates a lot from the bottom of the car.

"Can't you use the motor...... Linn also frowned slightly.

“…… Very brilliant idea. I can't tell that you are all guests from the Far East. Holmes nodded at Linn, "If you can make an electric motor with enough power, then this is indeed a very quiet and low-polluting power source." An Indian captain I know also seems to want to place the motor on one of his ships, which should be almost finished by this time, and if you have the chance, I hope he will be willing to entertain you on his unique ship. ”

Although he was careful not to talk about the supernatural on the subway, Holmes still chatted with everyone for a while, although his ideas still carried a lot of the inherent ideas of people in the nineteenth century, but his quick thinking and unique insights also made Ma Shuangcheng and Linn have to rush to admire. Chu Yuan remained silent in front of the great detective, and he didn't know if he was specifically low-key, or if he was worried that he would not be able to show off in front of this legendary figure and would show his feet. Lee, on the other hand, initially held a hostile attitude towards Holmes against capitalism. But I didn't expect Holmes to be familiar with the works of Marx, Engels and others, although he did not clearly express his support for Marxism, but for the redistribution of the means of production, the struggle of interests between classes, and the social welfare system for the proletarians, he also put forward a lot of his own opinions and opinions, and when Li Wuxian put forward some of Taizu's theories, Holmes also praised certain aspects meaningfully, which made Li Wuxian's eyes look at Sherlock Holmes suddenly became quite admirable. Although he may still regard this great detective as a class enemy in his heart.

As for Zhu Jue, he didn't care about Sherlock Holmes, but kept staring at Watson closely.

"Uh...... Is there something wrong with me? Watson was a little uncomfortable by Zhu Jue's inexplicable eyes, so he asked.

Dr. Watson...... Will you treat psychosis? Zhu Jue finally spoke.

"I'm just a surgeon...... I don't know much about psychiatric aspects. Watson replied puzzled.

Zhu Jue sighed a little disappointed, and then asked, "So are you gay?" ”

"Ahem...... Sorry, but what did you just say? Watson almost didn't catch his breath.

"I'm just curious about your relationship with Mr. Holmes." Zhu Jue said.

Watson couldn't help frowning, as if he thought Zhu Jue's question was rude, but he still replied, "I'm married!" ”

"Don't mind that much, I'm just asking." Zhu Jue said, "So, who do you prefer to be with your wife and Mr. Holmes?" ”

"Zhu Jue!" Linn kicked Zhu Jue's leg hatefully, and then she hurriedly said to Watson, "I'm sorry, Dr. Watson

There's something wrong with him. ”

"Hmph......" Watson just snorted, then turned his head, looking like he didn't really like the friends Holmes had invited.

Finally, after more than half an hour, the subway stopped at Baker Street Station in the west of London, and several people left the station under the leadership of Sherlock Holmes.

Baker Street is home to many real estate companies and other properties, so even at this time it is still full of traffic, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians hurrying to and fro on this street. And at 211B Baker Street, there is a small apartment building.

The exit of the apartment building is a small black door, under which there are four or five flights of stairs, and there are two rows of iron handrails, and in the dim light of the roadside, the handles can be seen with rust. Except for the faint glow of the fireplace in the second-story windows, the entire house is darkened, as if waiting for the return of the owner.

"Welcome to 211B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes Private Detective Consultancy...... and the Diogenes Club Occult Advisory Center. ”

(Actually, in 1890 there was an electric car in London.) In addition, Baker Street Station is not far from 221B of Sherlock Holmes Residence, but for some reason, Conan Doyle does not describe the existence of the subway in the story. ）
