"Good afternoon, Dr. Watson. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Watson was pleasantly surprised to see Magellan and Arthur at Holmes' home, but it didn't seem like they were in a good mood.

"You look like a crusader blessed by the bishop, Sherlock Holmes. ”

Arthur lay on the couch without a figure, limpously sarcastically sneering Holmes because he had just gotten a mystery case.

"Looks like your trip to the Thieves' Guild isn't going well. ”

"That's true. ”

Arthur didn't want to speak at all, and Magellan confirmed Holmes's suspicions, in fact, he and Arthur had gone to a dozen strongholds of the thieves' guild last night, but all they found only corpses and a mess.

"But you, Sherlock Holmes, are so rare, your excitement is only half about the reappearance of Dr. Watson, is there really a mystery in Ruidu now that you have never seen before?"

"There was a murder case involving a supernatural force, and there were no clues at the scene. ”

"It is impossible to be at the scene without any clues. ”

Magellan and Sherlock Holmes uttered this in unison.

"But it seems," Magellan sighed, "that this is an interesting case." ”

"Supernatural powers?" Arthur also seemed interested in the murder.

"Yes. ”

Arthur smiled.

"Are you going to hand over the murder weapon to Scotland Yard?"

Then everyone present laughed.

It was a transcendent power after all, and although several people here knew that Magellan possessed a transcendent power and had seen it, it could not change the reality that transcendent power was so rare and powerful.

"If you want to keep that supernatural power, unless you get permission from the hunter. ”

"Hah!" Arthur smiled sarcastically, "the hunter is getting wider. ”

"Chaos can never exist without order," Magellan shook his head, "but the order of the hunters cannot restrain explorers, and their secret societies are like the councils of the noble lords." ”

"You should really look in a mirror and see that face like a king. But you're right, the Hunters are just a club in the dark, and if anyone among them thinks they have something, it's just an illusion of hubris. ”

Holmes sat comfortably on the couch and lit his pipe.

"I was going to ask the Baker Street Team to help ......"

"I'll try it," Magellan smiled, "what a wonderful accident......

"Maybe it's not accidental...... "Holmes laughed too, "explorers don't stop." ”

"What are you talking about?"

Arthur and Watson looked at Magellan and Sherlock Holmes' smiles, completely unable to understand their conversation.

"Maybe that supernatural power belongs to the Thieves' Guild. ”

"Hah!" Arthur almost jumped up with excitement, "Are you sure?"

"Brittania is a very small place, and in this archipelago only the king and the dark world have supernatural powers, and these precious treasures that are hidden and can only be seen are all in Ruidu. Holmes didn't want to speak, so Magellan explained the logic to the two of them in his place, "but there has never been a supernatural power in this city that has ever been used for murder." That's a shameful waste, unless ......"

"Unless the dark power with this extraordinary power is on the verge of collapse!

"Most importantly, it means that the Thieves' Guild still has survivors, some big man who knows all the rules. ”

"That big guy is with supernatural powers, and he's probably the murderer of that mystery, well......" Arthur laughed, "What were we going to call it?

"Collective action?"

Magellan sighed.

"Let's go. ”

......

The first stop for the four was the home of the deceased.

"It's a long way here. ”

It was a riverside shack not far from the pier, clean and comfortable, though not merely in order, with an earthen wall supporting an upside-down boat, without doors or windows, but warm and bright. Not far from the front of the shack hangs a well-preserved fishing net from a dead tree, and next to it is a wicker basket.

It's a fisherman's home.

The owner of this place is the corpse of the house of Sir Bran, but it is a little far from the noble villa in the North City.

"Thieves don't steal where they live, and in general, they say it's out of the most basic morality. ”

Sherlock Holmes smiled: "But actually, that's because stealing in the place where you live is easy to be discovered." ”

"But thieves are no more morally corrupt than anyone else in the city, and in some respects they are far better than the old men sitting in the House. ”

"Ah, here it is again, the cynicism of Lord Magellan. ”

Arthur said as he walked into the shack, his gaze scanning the small place, and then helplessly realizing that there was nothing useful here.

"This man is really boring, his home is almost the same as Professor Magellan's house. ”

"Of course, normal people know that valuable things cannot be placed in the most conspicuous place in the house. Magellan followed Arthur, searching for useful clues as he spoke.

"This is where the man lives. ”

Holmes stood in the doorway, glanced at it and came to a conclusion: "Left-handed, likes tobacco in New Taipei County, but never smokes, doesn't drink, only drinks black tea, hmm...... Literate, this is not like a single old fisherman. ”

"A thief with a professional quality. ”

Smoking will aggravate body odor, and alcoholism will affect movements, but there are fishermen who don't drink, but there are very few who don't smoke, so this "old fisherman" will have a lot of tobacco in New Taipei County at home.

"And he must have known the guild's statutes. ”

Arthur did not hide his gloating at all.

The thieves' guild is populated by petty thieves and thieves who have no self-control, who have been drinking and smoking since childhood, and only a very few lucky people survive to join the guild, but such people make up the majority of the thieves in the guild.

Only the lucky ones who are gifted and have been selected as apprentices since childhood will have the professionalism of this "old fisherman", and such thieves will become the managers of the guild and be qualified to know the full guild constitution.

"But that's not enough. ”

"His popularity must not be very good, but it is definitely not bad. ”

Soon, Magellan found several of the deceased's "bosom friends", and under the guidance of Sherlock Holmes, they quickly told all they knew about the "old fisherman John".

"Two places, the North City and the Docks, there must be one place that is the stronghold of the Thieves' Guild. ”
