"Good morning, Mr. Holmes."

Looking at the figure standing in the sun, Ma Wei said hello with a smile.

Compared to him, Levine was not so relaxed, staring at Holmes warily, his cane crossed in front of him, the soles of his feet half-retreated, and he looked ready to make a move at any time.

"Looks like your wish has been granted, Father."

Ignoring the hostile gaze from the side, Holmes walked straight to the idol and threw a silver shilling into the offering box.

"I'm here today, first, to bring the 10 gold pounds promised by Baron Bill, and second, to inform the priest of you...."

A palm-sized cowhide bag was placed next to Mavi, and inside it was heavy enough to contain 10 gold coins bearing the portrait of Rhodes IV.

After a glance, Ma Wei took the money bag into his arms, this was his reward for guarding the Blood Rose, and it was natural to accept it.

"It's almost time for me to leave."

Sherlock Holmes took off the tall felt hat on his head and gently stroked his shiny hair: "There is a letter from the royal capital, Watson has encountered a difficult murder case, and I need to rush back overnight. ”

"In such a hurry?"

"The Blood Rose case has been solved, the Rose Thief has failed to steal the gem, and the news has made it to the newspapers.... I have no reason to stay. Holmes smiled and said, "Unless the Rose Thief continues to commit crimes, I don't think he will appear anytime soon." ”

The corners of Levin's mouth twitched, the back of his head ached, his eyes were not good, and he sneered: "That's not necessarily... I am not defeated at your hands. ”

"If I knew magic, would you still have the confidence to say that?"

"Okay, I don't use magic, let's have another public fight?"

"Always by side."

"Two, two, two..."

Ma Wei hurriedly stepped forward to play a round game, put his palms on his chest, and bowed slightly towards the statue: "This is the church, and the goddess is watching us." ”

"That's right, that's right! Can't fight in church! Yunia nodded like a chicken pecking rice.

"Humph!"

Levine flicked his tuxedo and sat down not far away with his legs crossed, and he was thinking about how to stumble Holmes....

"Where did you hide Macmillan?"

Holmes asked, "He's been missing for three whole days." ”

"You're the famous Dilloc Holmes, why can't you even find someone?"

Seizing the opportunity, Levine mocked in a weird manner: "Such a simple thing, use your brain to figure it out!" ”

Just as Holmes was about to speak, an orange figure suddenly jumped onto the windowsill with a green grass in its mouth.

"Big brother meow!"

His eyes lit up, and Xiao Hei hurriedly greeted him: "You're back!" ”

"Hmm."

Fat Orange nodded and said, "I found Macmillan, he is in the suburban cemetery." ”

"What, cemetery?!"

Ma Wei was surprised: "Levin, did you hide him outside the city?" ”

"Who made him dishonest..."

Crossing Erlang's legs, Levine muttered in a low voice: "Originally, I wanted to hide him in the cellar, but he was too easy to be discovered, there was no way, I could only throw him to the cemetery, there happened to be an empty pit over there, tie him up and throw it inside, no one can find him." ”

"I've made discoveries."

Fat Orange put the green grass in his mouth on the ground, and said, "This is what I found in the woods on the outskirts of the city, and the cat I sent out yesterday to look for Macmillan never returned, thinking that something had happened, but when I looked there, I found that they were lying around this thing, lying down, falling down, as if they had been poisoned." ”

"This is...."

Bending down to pick up the green grass on the ground, Mavi found that it had wavy edges, a few slender leaves, and purple-white flowers.

The tip of the nose smells lightly, and there is a strong fragrant fragrance, some like mugwort, which is very pungent.

Although slightly different from the shape in memory, ....

"Xiao Hei, you can smell it."

Ma Wei put the green grass in front of Xiao Hei, and Xiao Hei only took a sip, then rolled over and fell to the ground, and began to rub wildly.

"Sure enough..."

Seeing this scene, Ma Wei finally determined the type of green grass.

Nepeta, and it is a straight-toothed nepeta, commonly known as catnip.

It's a good thing, but I didn't expect Fat Orange to find it by accident.

It was a bonus...

"Meow! Master, let me smell it again, it's good to meow! ”

Xiao Hei ran around Ma Wei, looking extremely eager.

Throwing catnip to it, Mavey looked at Fat Orange: "Well done, how's Inspector Macmillan?" Do I need to notify the police? ”

"No, I lured the man over, he should have been rescued by this time.... What's going on with him? ”

Fat Orange raised his paw and pointed at Levine Bojie: "What happened during my absence?" ”

"From this day forward, he will be Brother Levine of the Church of Truth."

With a twitch of his beard, Fat Orange glanced at Levine Bojie, who waved at it, and nodded slightly, which was considered a return gift.

When he found Inspector Macmillan, Holmes was also missing, and when he put on his hat and was about to leave, he suddenly heard Mavey say, "Mr. Holmes, I think..."

"I know what you're trying to say, Father."

Sherlock Holmes interrupted him and said calmly, "I don't have any intention of joining any church at the moment. ”

"I'm very active, I hate the dull life very much, and I pursue spiritual excitement."

"I'm more inclined to study the church than to join the church, and there's nothing more worthy of reasoning than religion in the world."

"I respect your choice, but..."

After a pause, Ma Wei said, "Next, the world will blow a biting cold wind, and the prisoners you face will become more and more powerful, and even use magic... Mr. Holmes, how do you, who don't know magic, fight them? ”

"The wind is already coming, and I can already feel the cold." Sherlock Holmes sipped his pipe and said with a deep gaze: "This wind is very cold and biting, and many people will die in this storm, which is the foreseeable future, but I hope that after the storm, the world will be purer and better, and the sun will be warmer." ”

"What if...."

"The Church of Truth is able to do that, and I think I'll visit it myself."

"Is this an agreement?"

"You can understand it this way."

Sherlock Holmes glanced at his pocket watch, turned and walked out of the church: "Winter is coming, Father, I hope you don't lose yourself in this cold storm, at least I hope that the next time we meet, you can still keep your warm pillow today... Don't stop, never stop, no one knows what tomorrow will look like, let's all meet again, my friend. ”

When he reached the door of the church, he paused and said without looking back:

"By the way, Baron Bill invites you to tomorrow's dinner at 7 p.m., when many of the nobles of New Ross will visit."

Before the words fell, Levin, who was sitting on the side, suddenly disappeared, and suddenly appeared behind Holmes, and with a 'bang', the carved silver cane struck the back of the opponent's head.

"Phew! Want to go? It's not that easy! ”

He spat on the ground and said viciously: "Lao Tzu hasn't had an overnight feud yet!" ”
