In order to prevent himself from making a mistake, Ma Wei also specially asked about the performance time of "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and after confirming that it did not match the time he went to see, he thought about it for a while and said a message.

"In order to get in touch with Helena Sheffield, I went to the Covent Royal Opera House to see a performance, which was also A Midsummer Night's Dream, and I met Professor James Morea and Guy Moran in Box 2."

"Could it be that A Midsummer Night's Dream is their connector code?" Holmes immediately speculated: "James Morea is based on the play and his subordinates on that day!" As soon as they see "A Midsummer Night's Dream" in the newspaper, they will meet in the theater! ”

"Well, this possibility is not impossible, in the theater joint, it is indeed very mysterious, and the specific situation can be verified."

Ma Wei and Mr. Butler have met, and the other party's appearance is completely different from Guy Moran, there is not much similarity, and it is impossible for him to admit that he is wrong.

Unless the other party uses magic to change their appearance - this possibility cannot be ruled out.

Sherlock Holmes asked, "How do you want to verify?" Waiting for a newspaper to publish information about the performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream"? ”

"Maybe we can force them to meet." Ma Wei said: "In the last two days, I plan to attack Mr. Butler's underground laboratory, once the underground laboratory is attacked, Mr. Butler will inevitably contact the boss behind the scenes. ”

"That's a good idea, how sure are you?"

"I have already planted eyeliner inside the underground laboratory, and I know the specific location and defense status of the laboratory, even if Mr. Butler has the help of alchemy technology, it is impossible for Yunia to be an opponent."

Calculated carefully, there are not a lot of hole cards in Ma Wei's hand, just the magic he has mastered, there are dozens of kinds, and at the critical moment, he can also summon the projection of Badge and Lukka to help, and if he is fully prepared, even if he can't beat Mr. Butler, he can get out of the way.

It's a big deal to make the movement a little bigger, and seduce the three goddesses of fate to come, can Mr. Butler still rely on a laboratory to single-handedly challenge the entire church of the three goddesses of fate?

Thinking of this, Ma Wei whistled, and it didn't take long for a snow-white cat to jump into the windowsill, running with its tail upright, and rubbing Ma Wei's ankle.

In order to better protect Sherlock Holmes and assist him in his investigation of James Morea, Mavi specially sent a cat legion, and the one in charge of connecting with Sherlock Holmes is Xiaomei, who has the blessing of Eunia, and like Friday and Fat Orange Black, it can use human language.

"Xiaomei, go tell Fat Tangerine and let him investigate Guy Moran's information, the sooner the better."

"Meow~"

After receiving the order, Xiaomei jumped out of the window and disappeared, and Holmes couldn't help but say: "You really tame a group of good cats, with their help, you can save a lot of energy." ”

"The cat army can be well-trained, and most of it is due to Fat Orange, it is a natural king, but it's a pity that it's a cat."

"An ideal cat." Sherlock Holmes said.

"Cats only have a lifespan of 15 years, and Fat Tangerine is already 5 years old."

"15 years of theory, and the specific situation must be judged according to the actual situation." Sherlock Holmes said lightly: "I once saw a 30-year-old cat, very energetic, there is no sign of dying at all, not to mention that it is now a magical society, there is magic, everything is possible, there is no need to worry about the longevity of the fat orange." ”

"That's right."

Smiling, Ma Wei got up and said, "I should go, I have to help you solve the matter invited by the Ruiwei United Kingdom, Guy Moran's intelligence, and when Fat Tangerine's investigation is clear, Xiaomei will inform you." ”

"Okay."

Downstairs, Marvey saw Yunia in the kitchen eating milk foam biscuits, and she and Mrs. Hudson got along very well, and they were still a little reluctant to part.

"Dad, where are we going next?"

"Go to St. Paul's Cathedral and find Archbishop Brandon." "The king and the prime minister want Sherlock Holmes to leave London, and if they want to stop it, they have to find something stronger than them to help," Marvi said. ”

"Will they help us?" Yunia looked curious: "How could the church provoke the king for us?" ”

"Anything is possible for the right reasons."

7 p.m., St. Paul's Cathedral.

After a busy day's work, Archbishop Brandon put down his quill, rubbed his sour eyes, picked up a piece of toast and put it in his mouth, and just after chewing it twice, there was a knock on the door.

"Archbishop, Mr. Nicholas von Manstein is here." A nun pushed the door open.

"Oh? Let him in! ”

Visiting suddenly at night, there must be something important, Archbishop Brandon put down his toast and greeted Mavi in person: "Nicholas, it's so late, is there something wrong?" ”

"The Potions Factory has been burglarized."

"What?!"

Archbishop Brandon's pupils shrank, his expression was instantly solemn, he pulled Ma Wei to sit down, and asked carefully, "Who did it?" Lost something? Did the killer catch it? ”

"The murderer has not yet been caught, the warehouse door has been pried open, and the head of the factory is counting the damage." Ma Wei said word by word: "The loss this time is not small, at least 1,000 gold pounds worth of materials have been lost. ”

"Could it be that the inner ghost did it?"

"It's possible, but I doubt it."

In the hesitation, Ma Wei did not say what he guessed, and looking at his expression, Archbishop Brandon also guessed a thing or two.

Waving his hand to let the maid retreat, Archbishop Brandon said, "Do you doubt the eldest prince Charles? ”

"Well, it's either him or the third prince Andrew, and only they will find ways to steal factory materials, I guess their target is not only materials, but also potion recipes!"

The importance of the potion formula is far better than the material itself, there is no material to collect slowly, but if there is no formula, no matter how many materials there are, the potion formula mastered by the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny, Ma Wei only knows one obsession flower so far, and the other formulas have not yet been obtained, but he has other formulas in his hand, which are very important.

"It's not a trivial matter"

Archbishop Brandon made the decision: "Let's go, let's go to the Pope!" ”

Under his leadership, Mavi and Yunia met with Ubre I, and when they heard about the theft of the Potions Factory, Ubre I was stunned for a moment, and after regaining his composure, he said, "Do you know who the murderer is?" ”

"I don't know, we guess it's the eldest prince Charles or the third prince Andrew."

"Without evidence, it's not just speculation." Ubrey I shook his head: "The Manstein Potions Company has signed a contract with the church, as a distributor, when the Manstein Potions Company sells potion materials, all the potions and potions materials of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate must share half of the profits, not the potions of the Church of the Three Goddesses of Fate, and the Manstein Potions Company will also give the three ingredients red, which is the premise of the church to hand over the potions business to your company." ”

"Now that there has been a theft at the Manstein Potions Company, it must be taken seriously, and a situation like this must not happen again!"

Warehouse theft, even if it's just a warehouse where materials are stored, is not to be taken lightly.

Who knows if the prisoner came to brew the potion ingredients or the formula?

It doesn't matter if you lose a little material, the key is the meaning behind it!

I can steal the ingredients this time, but will I steal the formula next time?

Pope Ubri I didn't want to see Manstein Potions involved in the theft, and after a short thought, he gave a solution: "Immediately block the news, and don't let reporters know about the theft of Manstein's warehouse, otherwise they will definitely report it, which will affect cooperation with other churches!" ”

"In addition, Nicholas, you have to catch the murderer as soon as possible, the news can only be blocked for a while, before the news leaks, you must catch the murderer to prove yourself!"

Ma Wei nodded and said in a deep voice: "The prisoner is a veteran thief, with clever methods, and if you want to solve the case, you have to find someone else's help."

"You say Dilloc Holmes?"

"That's right, Sherlock Holmes is a well-known detective, and with him, no matter how bad he is, he can find some clues."

"Hmm"

Ubrey I was a little hesitant, he was already aware of the invitation of the United Kingdom, but he quickly made a choice between the capture of the prisoner and the invitation.

"Let's let Holmes help solve the case, it just so happens that the prisoner who destroyed the church's dungeon last time hasn't been caught yet, and he needs to stay."

Seeing that his goal was achieved, Mavi got up and took his leave, knowing that Holmes could stay in London, and that the king would have his own Ubley I to deal with it, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Before leaving, Ubre I did not forget to tell Mavi to strengthen the defense of the warehouse, and planned to send priests and monks to help guard it, but Mavi politely refused.

The reason is simple, the warehouse was not stolen at all, it was a lie made up by Mavi in order to force Ubley I to come forward and keep Holmes behind.

The only thing that can suppress the king and the prime minister is the church, and with the current face of Ubrey I, Rhodes IV will definitely give face.

As for the warehouse, just find a reason to prevaricate, it's a big deal to use the statue of the living spirit to stage a good show of catching thieves and cracking stolen goods.

After solving the problem of Sherlock Holmes, Mavi rushed to the Havefling district, arranged for a few trusted workers to direct and act out the theft, and after setting up the scene, sealed the warehouse and waited for Holmes to arrive.

In the middle of the night, Holmes arrived in a hurry, his expression was very subtle, how could he not guess who the real prisoner was?

There were no prisoners at all.

But he still cooperated with Ma Wei to come to the scene to arrest the murderer, and after making up a random analysis, he successfully confused the police and Archbishop Brandon, and the final conclusion was very simple:

The thief, who ran away, should still be in London, and needs to be investigated slowly.

Not only that, but Sherlock Holmes also gave a detailed description of the prisoner's appearance based on the footprints on the ground and the 'confession' of the warehouse worker, and made a portrait of him, and the police immediately began to arrest him according to the portrait.

Even if there were, Sherlock Holmes would be able to exonerate him, he was the chief of the case, and he had absolute command.

It was busy until the second half of the night, Ma Wei took the sleepy Unia back to Flower Street, Levine had already gone back to the house to rest, the store was empty, after a simple wash, Ma Wei also lay down on the bed, just about to rest.

Fat Orange jumped in through the open window.

"I've found Guy Moran's information."

Ma Wei turned over and sat up, put on his coat, and motioned for Fat Tang to continue.

"Guy Moran, whose father was Sir Ramos Moran, studied at Eton College and Oxford University, joined the Army after graduation, went to serve in the Southern Continent, a famous sharpshooter, with the rank of colonel, and after returning to London, he opened an underground casino that was ostensibly a poker club, and loved drama."

Fat Orange paused: "He's a student of Professor James Moorea. ”

"Students?"

"Yes, when he was a student at Oxford, his mentor was Professor James Moorea, and he had a good relationship and had always been in touch, and Guy Moran's resume was strange, very strange." Fat Orange licked his lips: "With his father's relationship, he can be a rich son, inherit the family's industry, there is no need to join the army, this is nothing, maybe joining the army is his ideal?" ”

"The problem is that Guy Moran served in the army for 12 years, and just after being promoted to colonel, he chose to retire, and he retired on his own initiative, not because of injuries like Dr. Watson."

"His life experience is completely different from that of ordinary people, normally speaking, a background like him either becomes a business predator or a high-ranking military official, and there are many choices, but he chose the most unbelievable path, retirement, return to London, and open a casino!"

Fat Orange said: "This is not a normal person's choice, more importantly, when I investigated, I found that all the subordinates he recruited were veterans, and it should be said that the soldiers who made mistakes and were forced to leave the army!" ”

Compulsory discharge.

Hearing the words, Ma Wei frowned.

Having been in the Royal Navy, he knows what it means to be forced to discharge, generally speaking, only soldiers and non-commissioned officers who have made major mistakes will be reduced to the point of compulsory discharge, which is no different from school persuasion, which means that the military thinks you are not suitable to be a soldier! It's a serious accusation!

Most of the soldiers who will be forcibly discharged from the army have committed unpardonable crimes, such as murder, adultery, battlefield disobedience and other felonies

Soldiers like this, strictly speaking, they are no longer soldiers, but crazy and perverted!

What exactly does Guy Moran, who recruited these veterans, want to do?

Is he looking at the sake of fellow veterans to give these soldiers who are forced to leave the army a way out?

Or is it said.

What else does he have in mind?

"Guy Morankai's underground casino, located in the center of Westminster city, is the territory of the White Gang, which is a gang secretly funded by the eldest prince Charles, it stands to reason that Guy Moran should pay protection money to the White Gang, but surprisingly, the White Gang does not dare to provoke Guy Moran!"

"Guy Moran's men are a bunch of outlaws, and even the gangsters don't want to provoke him, which is normal."

Ma Wei thought to himself:

"Keep staring at him, his relationship with James Morea is definitely more than a teacher-student relationship!"
