"Actually, it's okay if you don't go with me, Mr. Yue. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" Sherlock Holmes and Yue Chen, who was holding Jack, walked down the street together, and Holmes held his hat and said to Yue Chen.

Yue Chen shook his head: "It's okay, Jack's matter also needs to be solved by me, and I'm actually curious about who your friend is, Mr. Holmes, Watson?" ”

"No, it's not Watson, in fact, he shouldn't be involved in the [Jack the Ripper] case, after all, he is just an ordinary person, and there is nothing good for him to come into contact with [that world]." Sherlock Holmes smiled and said, "It should be a kind of intuition, I think this incident, he may have some use." ”

Speaking of this, Holmes raised his head, looked at the neighborhood in front of him and said, "We arrived, there was no carriage at night, so we can only walk a little aggrieved at night, it's okay." ”

"Well, you can still hold on, should you say that you are used to it?" Yue Chen nodded.

Holmes nodded, walked to the door of a house, and gently rang the doorbell.

"It's coming, it's so late, is there anything wrong?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jekyll, this is Sherlock Holmes, can you open the door now?" Holmes asked with a smile as he took off his hat.

"Mr. Holmes? It's so strange to come back to me so late. The man named Jekyll opened the door and smiled at Sherlock Holmes.

Yue Chen, on the other hand, looked at the blonde young man in front of him in surprise - he was wearing a black windbreaker, revealing a neat beige shirt under the windbreaker, a pair of black pants underneath, and a pair of black-framed glasses on his face, looking very 1s...... No, it should reveal wisdom and stability.

"This is ......" Jekyll looked at Yue Chen and asked strangely.

"You...... Hello, Mr. Jekyll, I'm Yue Chen, and this is my daughter Jack. Yue Chen said to Jekyll.

"They're people I just met today, and while they may be a little strange in their attire, you might as well think of them as assistants in the case I'm investigating," Holmes said. ”

Jekyll nodded: "It's Mr. Holmes's helper, I'm Jekyll, an ordinary scholar...... Anyway, this is not the place to talk, so let's go inside and talk. ”

Watching Sherlock Holmes and Jekyll walk into the room one after the other, Yue Chen looked at his mobile phone and couldn't help but say, "Hey, Da Vinci sauce, could this person be ......?"

"Well, it must be the famous Mr. Hyde [Incarnate Doctor], the criminal gentleman with a dual personality in that novel, who hovers between the pleasure of sin and the guilt of sin...... But it's not a strange thing, since Mr. Holmes has already appeared, it is actually very possible to become a doctor or something. Leonardo da Vinci's voice came from his phone.

"Huh?" Jekyll turned his head to look at Yue Chen, "I'm sorry, although it's a bit rude, but--Mr. Yue, I seem to have heard a lady's voice just now?" ”

"Well, that's it." Looking at Jekyll with an interested look, Yue Chen picked up the mobile phone in his hand, "This can be regarded as a special magic ritual we use, a ritual used to make long-distance calls." ”

"Magic rituals? I see, Mr. Yue Chen is also a magician. Jekyll said.

"No, I can't be called a magician yet, after all, I'm a guy who doesn't know anything about magic, and my friends have done this."

Then, a projection of Leonardo da Vinci appeared in the center of the living room: "As Mr. Yue Chen said, this is a magic ritual invented by Da Vinci sauce, an almighty person, even if it crosses the distance of eras or multiple worlds, it is also a magic ritual that can be used for communication work!" ”

"Hmm...... I seem to have seen a very beautiful lady—" Jekyll seemed to blush a shy blush on his smiling face when he saw Leonardo da Vinci.

"Oops, thanks for the compliment, Mr. Jekyll." Leonardo da Vinci said with a smile, "I am equivalent to the logistics staff behind Mr. Yue Chen, used to support Mr. Yue Chen's work, don't care about me, please continue to talk about the topic." ”

Jekyll suddenly felt a little embarrassed and coughed, took his eyes off Leonardo da Vinci, and looked at Sherlock Holmes: "I'm sorry, then Mr. Holmes, is there anything I can do when you come to me this time?" ”

"Well, I've been investigating the [Jack the Ripper] case that has been going on all this time." Sherlock Holmes said as a result of the black tea handed by Jekyll.

"Huh? Jack the Ripper case? Jekyll looked at Holmes in surprise, "I've heard that it's a vicious criminal who can't even be done by the police, and even now I can't find any useful clues." ”

Sherlock Holmes smiled and waved his hand: "If it is a very shrewd case to create a case that can make those incompetent guys helpless, even if it is a smart criminal, then there should be as many criminal elites in London as there are stars, but I believe there are no more than five criminals in this world who can make me helpless." ”

If it is for ordinary people to listen to this passage, it seems to be very confident to the point of arrogance, but when combined with Sherlock Holmes, it seems to be very normal.

"Indeed." Jekyll smiled kindly, and handed the teacup in his hand to Yue Chen and Jack, "After all, if there is a case in this world that you can't solve, then that person must also be a person with wisdom beyond human beings—so did you find any clues this time?" ”

"It's not just a clue, I've honestly seen [Jack the Ripper]." Sherlock Holmes said flatly.

"Huh!? Have you found it already? The teapot in Jekyll's hand trembled, obviously shocked by the speed of Sherlock Holmes, and then he looked at the great detective in front of him and said, "Then do you want to inform Scotland Yard?" I've heard that the officers are already busy with the Jack the Ripper affair. ”

"It's best not to let the police know about this." However, Holmes suddenly rejected Jekyll's words, and he ignored Jekyll's surprised eyes and continued, "A collection of resentful spirits from babies, I can only call her or them. ”

"They?" Jekyll frowned.

Sherlock Holmes nodded: "Yes, [Jack the Ripper] is made up of the resentment of the babies, which coalesce into the image of a little girl, so this is why I think it's best not to alarm the police." ”

Jekyll frowned: "That is, ......"

"Yes, [Jack the Ripper] is a little girl who looks less than ten years old on the outside, and she is a little girl made up of resentful spirits, which in itself is already an event beyond the imagination of the police and the general public.

Yue Chen said helplessly: "Indeed, let's not talk about what the people and the newspaper society think, even the police can't believe it." ”

Sherlock Holmes nodded, smoked his pipe and said, "That's exactly why I decided to solve this incident without permission, since it is an incident of extraordinary knowledge, then it should not let people in the world of common sense know the truth of everything." ”

Jekyll laughed, "Well, I'll do a little bit of a favor then, Mr. Holmes, I don't think I can do anything about it, but ......"

"No, I'm glad you could help me, and I really need you to spare some time to help me with something as my assistant for the time being." Holmes smiled and stood up, "I have a gut feeling that this incident may not be as simple as [Jack the Ripper], but something more serious. ”

"Is it more serious...... "Jekyll said, "I see, so what can I do for you?" Mr. Holmes. ”

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The next day, the Whitechapel area of the city of London was discovered, and several homicides had occurred last night.

The deceased were all women without exception, and the police found from the victim's body that all kinds of methods pointed to a murderer - Jack the Ripper.

But there are a few doubts, in the previous cases, Jack the Ripper did not kill more than one person in one night, and the biggest problem is that [Jack the Ripper]'s hunt this time seems to have become more artistic than the previous brutal and frenzied torture......

Although the police have always felt that Jack has a sense of disobedience, because the modus operandi is still the same as before, the police have to be sure that the murderer this time is still Jack the Ripper.

Sherlock Holmes lay on Jekyll's special sofa, resting his feet on the soft stool in front of him, sipping his coffee and looking at the urgent daily newspaper in his hand, and couldn't help frowning.

"I just went to Scotland Yard to inquire." Jekyll walked in from outside the door, looked at Holmes who was sitting comfortably on his special sofa and said, "The Scotland Yard police are also helpless this time, so they can only keep the body and the scene strictly safe." ”

Sherlock Holmes nodded, looked at Yue Chen, who was sitting next to him, who was half-asleep, and Jack, who was already asleep on Yue Chen's body, and couldn't help but smile helplessly.

"Speaking of which, that kid is the so-called Servant, the Servant who is often summoned in the Holy Grail War." Jekyll also has a certain understanding of magic, so he has naturally heard of things like the Holy Grail War, so he has to make this inference about a little girl like Jack who exudes magic power far beyond what ordinary demons can have.

"It is true that the Servant is called, but it is not called by the Holy Grail." Sherlock Holmes took a sip of his coffee and said, "Maybe this kid has some special magic ritual to be able to summon servants without going through the Holy Grail." ”

[Indeed, Mr. Yue Chen does possess a magic ritual that is different from the Holy Grail War. Babbage's projection suddenly appeared in the room, and said to Sherlock Holmes and Jekyll, [Mr. Sherlock Holmes, Mr. Jekyll, fortunately, Charles Babbage, also one of the servants served by Mr. Yue Chen. 】

"The famous Charles Babbage? Trying to use steam technology to create instruments that can do sophisticated mathematical calculations? Sherlock Holmes laughed, "The scientist who died after not being able to fulfill his dream?" After becoming a servant, does it turn you into a steel man? ”

"Mr. Holmes, even I can't sit idly by." Jekyll frowned and said with some anger.

As a scholar, Jekyll had naturally heard of the famous Charles Babbage, and even if Babbage did not fulfill his dream in the end, he was still a great scientist and scholar worthy of respect, and he could not tolerate such words that bordered on ridicule from Sherlock Holmes.

[It's okay, Mr. Jekyll, it's true that it's just the wreckage of a dream, and this body exists here because of the obsession with the past, that's all, in a sense, Mr. Holmes is not wrong, I am indeed obsessed with the step difference mechanism, and I can't give up my pathetic dream. Babbage shook his head, indicating that he was not angry at Holmes's words.

Sherlock Holmes didn't seem to want to retract what he had just said, but just looked at Babbage calmly: "Then the magic ceremony that Mr. Yue Chen has does seem to belong to a super high-standard existence, and the Miss da Vinci last night is actually the famous Renaissance Three Masters in history." ”

[That's right, in fact, the magic ritual used by Mr. Yue Chen is not even understood by us, it is not so much a magic ritual, but rather that it is difficult for even the top magician to summon the Heroic Spirit without using the Holy Grail as a medium in the era of mysterious absence. 】

"Does that mean that the one who can accomplish this kind of thing is far beyond the top magicians, and even the existence that is completely above them?" Sherlock Holmes said calmly, with a pipe in his mouth, "Ah, but now is not the time to say that, it looks like we need to make a trip, Jekyll." ”

"Huh? Where to go? Jekyll asked, looking at Holmes.

Sherlock Holmes laughed, "Of course, to see the scene of the crime and the dead, dear Mr. Jekyll." ”

"Hmm...... Is it already dawn? Yue Chen opened his eyes and looked at his surroundings with some confusion, "Oh...... We spent the night at Mr. Jekyll's house last night—"

"Good morning, Mr. Yue, it's just time to get up, we plan to go to the scene of last night's crime now, and see what happened to [Jack the Ripper] this time, making her hunt so frequent overnight."

"Frerequent?" Yue Chen, who was still in a daze, suddenly sobered up a little, looked at Holmes and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Holmes, do you mean that Jack didn't just kill a person last night?" ”

Sherlock Holmes handed the newspaper in his hand to Yue Chen, let Yue Chen look at the report on it, his face became worse and worse, he put away the newspaper and stood up without thinking about it: "We must act now, that child must have someone behind her back to bewitch her." ”

"Oh? I'm pretty sure, why do you think that? Holmes smiled.

Yue Chen didn't answer immediately, just looked at Jack beside him who had just woken up: "Because I believe in her, even if she commits an unforgivable act, but no matter what, she is also a person who treats me as a mother...... I can't let the child who needs help the most leave her alone, and I won't allow anyone to use her to commit such crimes. ”

"Even if she's already a hopeless murderer?" Sherlock Holmes looked at Yue Chen and said.

"Yes, even if she is hopeless, I can't just leave her alone." Yue Chen and Sherlock Holmes looked at each other and said.

Sherlock Holmes nodded, then put on the coat and top hat that he put on his side, and showed a kind smile to Yue Chen: "I see, I understand, then let's take action, and find out who is behind the scenes using your lovely [daughter] to commit such a crime, Mr. Yue." ”
