Chapter Eighty-Five: Sherlock Holmes' Draft of Reasoning

"Sissy, aren't we going to keep up with him?"

After Fan left, Erin asked in surprise, "This should be a hidden mission, right?" ”

No, it's a task......

Glancing at the orange text on the task panel, Rosie pursed her lips and shook her head:

"Erin, we have to carefully screen the task that is sent to the door, otherwise there will be a catastrophe from the sky, and there will be no place to cry."

After a pause, she continued: "This man claims to be from the Corrections Agency, but he says that there is a clue to go to Montag Street to find him, not the Correctional Agency, which is obviously problematic. ”

"Oh, the headquarters of the Corrections Agency is closer to here than the museum in Brantania!"

Erin nodded abruptly and accepted Rosie's explanation.

The two chatted for a while, and Erin offered to take her leave.

Seeing her walk into the fireplace and her body disappear with the scattering of Floo powder, Rosie, who was lazy and half-lying on the sofa, got up.

When Fan uttered the guess that "although there are no clues in these two cases, it is possible to put them together, Sherlock found something out of them", the reminder of Hayley Gregory's disappearance on the task panel changed from gold to orange, and the time limit for the indefinite period became 24 hours.

This means that once Rossi did not intervene for more than 24 hours and investigate useful clues, the mission would be a complete failure.

Rosie doesn't really care too much about whether a mission fails or not, but Sherlock's disappearance because of this makes her have to think about it too much.

Aside from his idol attributes, the mere fact that the other party had helped her analyze Mr. Weasley's other secrets, thus prompting her to learn Weasley's true identity, was enough to keep her indifferent to his disappearance.

I had to do something!

The thought flashed through his mind, and after a few words to Sammy, Rossi pushed the door open and walked into the night.

The reason why she fooled Erin like that was because she didn't want to involve the other party in a dangerous situation.

Although Montague Street and Griss Square are in the same urban area, they are in two different directions, and even if Rossi took a horse-drawn carriage on the side of the road, it took more than 40 minutes to get here.

Getting out of the carriage and taking out two silver cocos to pay the fare, Rossi turned his gaze to Sherlock's house, which he had been to once.

Through the window facing the street on the second floor, you can still see the dim light inside.

Walking up the stairs from the bluestone arch next to the shop to the second floor, Rosie knocked on the door a few times.

A short time later, the door opened.

Fan looked at her suspiciously: "What?" What clues did you come up with? ”

Shaking his head, Rosie, who walked into the room from his sideways, asked, "Did you find any useful clues?" ”

"You didn't seem to want to investigate ...... before"

Before the words "the meaning of this matter" could be spoken, Fan suddenly came to his senses, "I understand, you don't want your friends to be involved." ”

After a pause, he asked puzzled: "Do you think this case is very dangerous?" Why is this judgment made? Judging from the known information, the previous missing person did not involve the wizard group, so this case should not be a big threat to wizards and ghosts, right? ”

Rosie shrugged her shoulders and replied with a light smile, "You just assume it's a woman's intuition." ”

As she said this, her gaze swept across the room.

The furnishings of the room were similar to the last time I had seen them, but a little messy, and the desks were covered with light gray paper, some of which looked crumpled as if they had been turned out of a trash can.

When I got closer, I saw that every piece of paper on it was densely filled with contents.

This is a draft written by Mr. Holmes?

He tried to keep up with Mr. Holmes's train of thought from his reasoning process and then find out where he might go?

Nodding silently, Rosie picked up the drafts with a strong pen.

"Sherlock Holmes's Draft of Reasoning."

Ignoring the system's prompts, his gaze swept over the pages of the manuscript paper.

The most word-counting pages contain information about Margaret's identity, the time of her disappearance, and some speculations about Sherlock.

But it didn't seem to work, so after that, Sherlock wrote down a message about her husband, her servant.

Among them, the one with the most ink is the groom who is the person who reported the case. From his background to his years of service, to which carriage dealer he came from, and even the breed of horses he drove.

It was a matter of occult territory, and Mr. Holmes really thought it through as comprehensively as possible.

Rossi sighed in his heart, and immediately thought:

But why didn't he see Hayley Gregory, even if he couldn't find the lady's information in a short time, he wouldn't say a word, right?

At this time, Fan said in a deep voice: "There is a little idea, which needs to be verified again." ”

Hearing this, Rosie was stunned for a moment, and then thought that he was answering the question he had asked when he entered the door.

looked at him inquiringly, and guessed a little in his heart about what he was saying.

"Hayley Gregory, on Sherlock's scratch paper, I didn't find the slightest trace of the name."

Without selling it, Fan directly stated his speculation, "This is obviously not in line with Sherlock's character, so either the manuscript paper with this name written on it is taken away......"

"Either he took it out himself."

Without waiting for him to finish, Rosie directly added, "And the latter is more likely." ”

"He left me at about half past nine in the evening, and I had just come in a special taxi carriage, which took more than forty minutes.

Then he came home, at least around half past ten. And at this time, I don't think he has a way to find information about Hayley Grageory.

So he should have gone out early the next morning with a draft of his analysis of Hayley Gregory. ”

Fan nodded "um" and agreed with Rosie's inference: "My thinking is the same. ”

After a pause, he opened up again: "He should go to the Royal Library in Brantania first, which has the most complete information about the nobility in the country, and he wants to know about Hayley Gregory, which is the best choice." ”

As Fan's voice fell, the system's prompt immediately sounded:

"Head to the Royal Library of Brantania, where you might find out more about Hayley Gregory."

All right! This judgment system is certified, and it seems that the direction is right.

With Sherlock's manuscript in his inventory, Rossi got up and took his leave, ready to take a look at the Royal Library.

"Are you going to the Royal Library?"

Fan, who guessed Rossi's intentions, reminded, "It's closing time, and I suggest going back tomorrow morning." ”

Tomorrow? I don't have that much time.

Glancing at the countdown on the mission panel, Rosie muttered in his heart and smiled, "But that doesn't stop a wizard, does it?" ”
