Moran is a maid with the most traditional notions.

Well, it's actually not so traditional, after all, there are still a few maids who run away with their masters, but as a maid, when you're by your master's side, you should always be a little sharper.

But at this time, Moran was behind Moriarty, as quiet and silent as usual, with his eyebrows lowered, but even so, he still attracted all eyes to the past.

Watson saw Sherlock's eyes and turned around and looked across the street.

Then I was stunned!

Even the eyes that had been squinting slightly couldn't help but open, revealing a strong sense of surprise.

Moran is still so tall and tall, and he is wearing the same maid outfit, but a mechanical arm is so eye-catching, the alloy steel has spread to the shoulder, and in the position of the shoulder armor, a small steam turbine is embedded, although it is very quiet at this time, but no one knows what it will look like, because the right maid top has not been customized, resulting in too soft fabric will always be stuck on the mechanical gears, very helpless, this arm can only be temporarily exposed, Occasionally, there was an afterglow in the not-so-bright sun.

Since the gates of hell were opened, the empire began to vigorously develop steam, the Imperial Mechanical Institute has become a backbone to promote the development of human science and technology, although it has long been rumored that the mechanical institute has begun to pay attention to the 'combination of man and machine' this too cutting-edge discipline as early as a few decades ago, but after so many years, no one knows how far this subject has been studied, and no one has witnessed a person's body, can really have a mechanical arm.

At this time, in addition to the mechanical arm, the black blindfold on the left eye of Mo Lan was also a little too abrupt, dressed in the most traditional maid outfit, fair skin, soft long hair, quiet posture, among all these attributes, a pair of blindfolds appeared stiffly.

Although the blindfold is attached to the maid's hairband, it doesn't look as hideous as the pirates or the gamblers in the lower town, but it always feels very strange and makes you want to take a look.

In short, at this moment, several people are separated by a long street, and you look at me and I look at you when they are puzzled by each other.

After a few seconds, Sherlock finally spoke:

"Since you're here, please come in."

There were so many people in the room at once, and Sherlock was still a little uncomfortable, so he found a few chairs to come over, so that Moriarty and Watson had a place to sit.

In fact, His Royal Highness the Holy Son and Watson have not officially met, and there is still a certain strange sense of getting along between the two.

"Hello, John Watson, retired medic."

"Hello, Moriarty, Holy See Son."

This kind of self-introduction with a sense of absurdity gives Sherlock a faint headache, if Watson's self-introduction is still in the past, then the introduction of [Holy Son of the Holy See] is a bit awkward.

What's even more awkward is that the two people in front of them also shook hands cordially and cordially.

Of course, these two are not good at stubble, they both have a strong ability to read and read people, so during such a simple face-to-face period, they both tried to read some information about each other from each other's expressions and words and deeds, but at the same time, they both found that they couldn't see through each other at all.

In the end, only when they knew each other and smiled, thinking that the other party was Sherlock's friend after all, it should not be a simple character, so I was relieved.

As for Moran, she didn't sit down, although she lost an eye and an arm, but for her, not dying was already an additional gain; Nightingale's healing abilities can't bring back lost limbs, but they can repair all other damage, so Moran is in good shape at this time.

As usual, she did her best to complete the duties of a maid and began to make tea for the others, but found that Sherlock didn't even have tea leaves at home, so she had no choice but to pour three cups of hot water

The "———" kettle was pinched and exploded.

"Bang ——!" The knob of the gas stove was pressed directly into it, and even the entire stove was driven out of a big hole!

"I'm sorry, but I haven't mastered the strength of my arm yet." Moran frowned, looking at his arm worriedly.

"Let's just do it ourselves." In order to avoid the house being demolished, Sherlock directly ordered himself to be executed when the landlady returned, and quickly went over to get a few glasses of water and put them on the table.

This is when the official topic finally begins.

"Didn't you say you had something to talk to me about?" Sherlock said.

Then I saw Moriarty looking at Watson next to him with his spare eyes, and emphasized with confidence: "If you want to tell me something related to the airship crash, then believe me, Watson is here, it will make this conversation more rewarding." ”

Moriarty hesitated for a moment, as if he remembered the name that the old man on the riverbank had mentioned to him that night, and then nodded: "Okay, then I'll get straight to the point and say that I want you to help me investigate this matter." ”

"Oh?" Sherlock leaned back with more interest: "Tell me about it." ”

"There's nothing specific to say, it's just for you to investigate everything, including the cause of the airship down, the process, the modus operandi, the mastermind behind the scenes, the motive, who went through the middle link, and so on." Moriarty said:

"In fact, these days, I am also investigating, but the process is a little hindered, the other party obviously knows the direction of my investigation, so always cut off the chain of clues in advance, in this half a month, the Holy See high-level paid for the death of nearly 20 bishopric-level figures, the death of subordinate clergy has reached nearly 100 people, and many officials on the government side have been assassinated.

It's not that we can't find it, but we can't find it anymore. ”

In just a few words, with an extremely bloody determination, Sherlock didn't know who the other party was, but he had to admire the other party's methods, so tough, decisive, no matter what, he didn't play any pediatric murder tricks or tricks at all, and he didn't bother to get any alibi in the detective.

Rather, it blatantly makes the investigation impossible and makes the victim give up on his own initiative.

If you want to investigate but don't dare to investigate, this is the most extreme means of murder.

"That's why I want you to investigate this." Moriarty continued: "You're just a folk detective who doesn't attract much attention, and you don't have any obvious factions in your own right, so no one should care about you until you're close to the heart of the case; Although I don't want to admit it, with your ability, if you get close to the core of the case, no one should be able to stop you. ”

Sherlock nodded, thinking that there must be extremely complicated side matters behind this matter, and even a little excited, of course, he couldn't just laugh right now, that would make him look a little abnormal:

"Well, since you, a Holy See, have personally come to my house to ask me, then I will reluctantly accept this commission." Sherlock sighed a little distressedly, "So. . . Any suggested directions? ”

"Nope." Moriarty said: "Our investigation has all been cut off. ”

Sherlock knew this, so he turned his gaze to Watson on the side: "Then do you have a direction?" ”

This question made Moriarty stunned, and looked at the doctor next to him with some surprise, could it be that this person was also investigating the fall of the airship?

So many people in the Inquisition couldn't find useful clues, could he?

Thinking of this doctor who looked a little too weak and beautiful, he turned out to be the object of the senior's attention, and couldn't help but sigh, what kind of monsters are around this guy Sherlock?

"There are some clues." Watson's tone was so light-hearted: "Yesterday when I was chatting with the Pope, I noticed something that was not quite right.

The Bohemian political district was under his jurisdiction, so he knew that those airships were taking off from his own land, but he didn't know that there was also a third-order archdemon on the airship at that time. ”

The scrutiny between Moriarty's eyebrows deepened. This folk doctor can actually talk to a great pope?

However, he quickly accepted this, and as he said earlier, the people who could become Sherlock's friends were certainly not ordinary people.

But as the Holy See's Son, he still wanted to warn: "How credible is what the Pope said?" ”

Watson squinted his eyes and smiled very politely: "Your Highness, please rest assured that the Pope has a very good relationship with me, and I assure you that what he said is genuine." ”

When she heard the word 'heartfelt words', Moran on the side instinctively felt an incomparably penetrating aura, she didn't know what the word meant, but she still moved closer to her master.

Moriarty signaled to the maiden servant behind him that there was no need to be nervous, and then said thoughtfully:

"The people in the Inquisition Court also found out where the airship took off, but because of the reasons mentioned earlier, they did not follow up. But I can guarantee that all the third-order demons have been sealed on the giant island of Odilia, and it is extremely difficult to leave the island without permission. If it were to be secretly transported to a diocese and loaded onto an airship, it would not have been possible without the nod of the Pope from that area. ”

"Unless. That third-order Great Demon had risen into the air through normal channels. Sherlock interjected at the right time.

"Normal channels?" Moriarty seemed to realize something: "You mean, first apply for the Devil's Island through the normal channel, and then erase all the personnel and records in this channel?" ”

"Yes, although it is a little frustrated, but on the island of Odilia, there must have been a lot of deaths during this time, I think according to the urine nature of those guys, they can do it."

Faced with this idea, Moriarty did not subconsciously refute it according to the conventional line of thought, but quickly accepted it, and continued to think in this direction:

"There are not many reasonable channels for the third-order demon to leave the island, including the emergency call from the front line of the Hell's Gate, the application of the demon contractor himself, and the need for the demon experiment of the Academy of Life Sciences" Moriarty quickly sorted out the results of his investigation during this time.

The front-line call can basically be ruled out, because the erasure plan of the participants will be very difficult to implement, no one dares to casually kill the contractor with the military background of the front, and the group of Holy Cult Army soldiers value the lives of their comrades, even to the point of overriding the laws of the Empire.

If you dare to move their comrades-in-arms, then the entire contractor division will dare to rush to the Imperial Forte, fight the military punishment, and seek justice for them.

As for the application of the demon contractor himself, it can also be ruled out that the day after the assassination, the eighteen generations of that guy's ancestors were turned upside down by the people of the Inquisition, oh, that guy seems to be an orphan. In short, he has no channel to apply for the Devil's Island.

So.

"Is it the Academy of Life Sciences?"

When Sherlock heard this, he thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.

But then, something suddenly occurred to him

Catherine seems to have a distinct relationship with the School of Life Sciences.

Did that woman say that she wanted to find herself before the day of holy love?
