Olympic Games?

Of course, Ma Wei knew what the Olympics were, but he wondered how the Olympics had ceased to be held 1,500 years ago, so why did he bring it up again?

"Oh, Father Priest, you don't know, the main reason why the Olympic Games ceased to be held fifteen hundred years ago was the split in the Apocalypse Divine Line." Arthur explained: "Before the split of the Apocalypse, the whole world could be said to be one, and the humans at that time, although they did not have steam engines, used magic to cross the oceans and communicate with other continents. ”

"Later, the gods disappeared, magic could not be used, and several continents lost contact and fell into isolation, and it was at that time that the Apocalypse Divine System located in the Kingdom of Sardinia was divided, the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny and the Cult of the Ruling God occupied the central continent, the Divine Cult of the Apocalypse went to the icy north, and the small churches such as the Witch God Cult went to the uncivilized southern continent."

"The Olympiad has ceased to be held since the Apocalypse split, but recently, after you won the bid, the King and the Pope have been discussing the resumption of the Olympic Games, convening the world's embassies, promoting relations and cooperation."

"I see." "It's a good thing to host the Olympics, but why did the King of the United Kingdom invite Sherlock Holmes?" ”

"Well," Arthur pondered, "maybe it's because Mr. Holmes is famous, or maybe it's some conspiracy behind it, didn't Father Priest let Holmes investigate Professor James Morea recently?" Maybe it has something to do with it. ”

"Your Highness, how do you know that I recently asked Holmes to investigate Professor James Morea?"

Mavey remembered that he had never mentioned James Morea to Arthur, but he was able to say the relevant actions accurately.

Arthur smiled disapprovingly: "Father, Sherlock Holmes is a big celebrity, he will be recognized everywhere he goes, especially in London, even the children on the street have heard of him!" In London, it is impossible for Holmes to quietly investigate someone, because everyone will be paying attention to him! One of my Knights of the Round Table happened to be an honorary professor at Oxford, and he told me the news. ”

"It's that I'm thinking too much."

Ma Wei didn't continue to ask, it didn't make any sense to continue asking, did he have to get Arthur to admit it?

"I've always suspected that Professor James Morea has something to do with the underground black market, and at the last banquet, Sherlock Holmes came up with the same idea, and he was indeed investigating Professor James Morea recently"

After a pause, Mavi added: "Just last evening, Professor James Moorea had a secret contact with the King and the Prime Minister at the Royal Opera House in Covent, and I don't know what they talked about, but now it seems that the invitation of the King of the United Kingdom of Ruiwei may have nothing to do with this matter." ”

The United Kingdom of Ruiwei has always been the younger brother of the Kingdom of Windsor, and it is not accurate to say that the younger brother should be an alliance dominated by the Kingdom of Windsor.

In the matter of inviting Sherlock Holmes, the Kingdom of Windsor can completely cut it first and then send an invitation on behalf of the king of the United Kingdom of Ruiwei, and it will be enough to notify later.

The point is that Professor James Morea has obviously realized that Sherlock Holmes is investigating him, and it is uncomfortable for anyone to be bitten by such a great detective, but he did not choose to secretly get rid of Holmes, but used other means, why is this?

Mr. Butler's effortless killing of Hilton Mobile, the president of the Nightingale Club, is enough to show that they have the strength to get rid of Sherlock Holmes, and for this reason, Mavi specially prepared a living spirit statue for Sherlock Holmes to protect his safety.

"It's hard to refuse an invitation from the king himself, and it involves international relations." Arthur said, "I'm afraid Holmes has no reason to refuse the invitation, and if he leaves London, will it affect your plans, Father?" ”

"There must be an impact, and it may not be a bad thing to let Holmes out of London, he is not transcendent, and without the blessing of the goddess, I cannot always protect him."

Ma Wei is also hesitant to let Holmes go to the United Kingdom of Ruiwei, leave London, leave the land of right and wrong, Holmes is at least safe, he is a conformist of logical truth, and it means a lot to the Church of Truth, between investigating Professor James Moorea and personal safety, Ma Wei will definitely choose the latter.

But Sherlock Holmes is a very stubborn man, and Mavey has kept him out of danger more than once, and the result?

Sherlock Holmes didn't listen at all, risking his life to find out the truth, perhaps in his eyes, truth was more important than his own life.

The reason why Professor James Morea didn't make a move is probably related to the fact that Holmes has not yet investigated the core, and the risk of killing a celebrity can be avoided in advance.

Again

If Sherlock Holmes was in danger in his investigation of Professor James Morea, who did Mavey suspect first?

Or Professor James Morea!

To put it simply, Professor James Morea does not have many options, and it is impossible for him to let Holmes continue to investigate, but killing Sherlock Holmes will directly expose himself and attract the attention of stronger people, and after weighing the pros and cons, there is only one option to transfer Holmes.

"You want Sherlock Holmes out of London?"

"Well, it's not impossible to let him go, I'm afraid he won't be happy. I'll have to go find him. ”

Ma Wei picked up the hat on the table, changed Gao Wen back to his original appearance, got up and said, "Your Highness, I will take my leave first." ”

"Okay, I'll let Gawain go back to the apartment and wait for your news."

"To protect your Highness, you and Gawain safely"

Ma Wei glanced at Edward beside him: "You stay, continue to be Russell Benjamin's butler, and go to Edinburgh." ”

In addition to Edward, Ma Wei has other options, such as a member of the Aurora Society, Jaylan came to London, but for the sake of safety, it is still for Edward to come out in person, as the lord of the blood clan, as long as it is not the gods who come in person, they can't help it.

Edward didn't want to leave London, but due to Marvey's orders, and the fact that he was going to Edinburgh for a short time, he could return within a month.

After letting Edward stay, Mavi and Yunia left the orphanage with mud shadow magic and made their way to West London.

5pm, 221 St Martin Street, Fulham, West London.

Mrs. Hudson gave Marvey a warm welcome, she had a good memory, and she recognized Mavey and Unia at a glance, and it should be said that she was even more impressed with Unia, who would hate a little girl with a very sweet mouth and a very well-behaved girl?

Mrs. Hudson had a good impression of Unia, and as soon as she entered, she dragged her to the kitchen to find a refreshment, and Marvey went upstairs and knocked on Holmes's door.

Knock knock!

Bang!

No sooner had he knocked on the door than a loud gunshot exploded from the room, and before Mavey could speak, he heard Mrs. Hudson shouting downstairs, "Dilloc! No shooting in the room! Scared Emma into not having dinner tonight!! ”

Click

The door opened, and Holmes, dressed in a waistcoat and shirt, with hair hanging down his forehead, appeared in front of Mavi, who now looked a little haggard, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, his sleeves rolled up high, and he was fiddling with a revolver in his hand, and the room was filled with the smell of smoke.

As soon as he looked like this, Ma Wei immediately understood that this must be an impasse in the investigation.

No greetings, no greetings, Sherlock Holmes let go of the doorknob, turned and walked into the room, sat down on the couch with one foot on the coffee table, and stared at the wall opposite that had left a bullet hole.

Ma Wei closed the door casually, opened the window for ventilation, and asked without looking back, "Have you received a message from the king?" ”

"What's the news?"

"It seems that you don't know yet, if you received the message, it will definitely not be the current state."

Ma Wei turned around, sat down on the sofa, and said slowly: "The King of the United Kingdom of Ruiwei, in the name of hosting the Olympic Games, has sent you an invitation, hoping that you can represent the Kingdom of Windsor and go to the United Kingdom of Ruiwei. ”

"Let me get out of London?"

Sherlock Holmes immediately grasped the point, his eyes lit up, and he sat up straight: "This must be James Moorea's conspiracy!" Who's going to let me leave London at this juncture? Only him! Who gave the order? ”

"Prime Minister Winston."

"He has a problem too!" Sherlock Holmes said categorically: "Not only him, but the king, queen and the Churchill family must be included in the investigation!" ”

"You're so bold."

Seeing that Sherlock Holmes was in a high mood and swept away the malaise just now, Ma Wei couldn't help but complain: "Have you figured it out, the object you want to investigate is the Prime Minister!" And the king! ”

"So what?" Sherlock Holmes picked up a walnut pipe, stuffed it with golden tobacco, and said disapprerovingly: "The king is also a man, and if he is a man, he will make mistakes, so is the king not bound by the law?" If the king can escape the law, then the kingdom must be extremely corrupt. ”

"Aren't you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid."

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"Need a reason?" Sherlock Holmes lit his pipe and exhaled a puff of white smoke: "What I pursue is a country where the supreme ruler will be punished for breaking the law, if a kingdom treats the law as nothing and tramples on it at will, then this kingdom does not need the truth, a country that does not need the truth, what is the meaning of my existence?" ”

"That's a good point." Ma Wei nodded slowly: "So, you don't plan to leave the Windsor Kingdom?" ”

"Of course, the more Professor James Moorea wants me to leave the Kingdom of Windsor, the closer I am to the truth, the truth is right in front of me, how can I hold back?"

"Resist the king's orders, do you know what the fate is?"

"Yes, but Father Priest you'll help me with my worries, right?" Sherlock Holmes said with his pipe in his mouth: "My task is to investigate the truth, and only to investigate the truth, and other troubles are not under my jurisdiction." ”

“.”

Isn't this a scoundrel!

Ma Wei looked at Holmes dumbfounded, he didn't expect the famous Sherlock Holmes to play a scoundrel, and it was not the first time to see him play a scoundrel like this

But

This time, Ma Wei is here to solve this matter.

If Holmes is willing to leave, then he will leave, go to a safe place, and if he is not willing to leave, Mavi will help solve the trouble caused by resisting the king's order.

"Have you made any progress on your investigation recently? Where is the investigation? ”

"Not much progress." Sherlock Holmes rummaged through the stacks of newspapers, and only after a while did he take out a newspaper from half a month ago and hand it to Ma Wei: "Recently, I asked the Cat Legion to help count James Morea's action roadmap, if he is related to the underground black market, regular contact is certain, and clues can always be found, but in the past half a month, the people James Morea has been in contact with have nothing to do with the underground black market, and I think the problem should be here." ”

Following Holmes's fingers, Mavey saw that the newspaper was published in the cracks, which was a daily advertisement for the Covent Royal Opera House, and before the performance, the Covent Royal Opera House would publish the night's performance information in the major newspapers, and the audience only had to buy the newspaper to know what play would be performed tonight.

In the newspaper for nearly half a month, Holmes circled several performance information published at the Covent Royal Opera House, a total of fifteen issues of the newspaper, of which 5 issues were circled.

"What I circled was James Moorea's theatrical performances, all of which were Shakespeare's plays."

"I suspect that James Morea used theatrical performances to communicate with the underground black market," said Holmes, "and that he would book a box every time he saw a show, and that he was the only guest in the box, and it was a good place to deliver information. ”

Shakespeare's plays are the most popular, and every performance is full, and there are many audiences like Professor James Morea who love Shakespeare, and this alone is too arbitrary to judge that he used his plays to communicate with his subordinates.

In reflection, Mavi recalled the first time he met Helena Sheffield, when she performed A Midsummer Night's Dream, and that night Professor James Morea was there in person, and that he was in the same box as a man named Guy Moran.

"Guy Moran?" Hearing the name, Holmes frowned slightly.

"You know him?"

"I don't know much, he's also a regular at the Royal Opera House in Covent, the owner of an underground casino, a war veteran like Watson, and a bunch of younger brothers, but not the size of a gang." "Of the five performances James Morea watched, he only went to one, and on weekdays, he came to see the show himself," Holmes said. ”

"Did Guy Moran have contact with Professor James Moorea?"

"I don't know." Holmes shook his head.

"What is the name of that play they appear in together?"

"A Midsummer Night's Dream."
