Sherlock looked at the man's back and thought to himself, this man. . . Seems to be quite interesting.

Moriarty's methods are very clear to him, there is absolutely no possibility of a slight loophole in that personal resume, and about the appearance on the day of Holy Love, with the operation of the Holy Son, it is absolutely completely suppressed, that is, he must have entered the screening as a civilian.

In this case, the doubts shown by the people around you are the attitude that should be had.

This is not to say that this group of judges is uneducated or pretentious, but as judicial officers of the Holy See, they should have this kind of pride, which is a kind of subconscious maintenance of the majesty of the Holy See.

So this judge, named Hopkins, is he a little too friendly to himself?

It's not just friendly, but even a bit of a high opinion of yourself.

Looking at the man again, he saw that he had already sat back in the crowd, and some of the people in the robes of the Inquisition naturally approached, and it could be seen that he had a good prestige in the crowd.

"Civilians?" A man with a rough figure seemed a little displeased: "I don't quite understand the meaning of this person's existence in this lounge, these old guys from the Life Science Academy think that it is not enough to have a trial court for their case, why do they gather so many people, and what kind of screening are they doing."

Even if you don't want too many people to get involved, you are ready to let the case be investigated in secret, or you are afraid of the government's face.

Okay, I can understand that.

But what's the deal with this private detective? ”

Reading between the lines, it can be heard that this person is very dissatisfied with the arrangement of the Academy of Sciences.

"So, do you think there's anything wrong with my overture to that man?" Hopkins looked faintly at the person beside him.

"Of course not, I just don't think a private investigator can help much, and that's it." The man was glanced at like this, and quickly explained, but his tone became weaker and weaker, and finally he simply shut up.

Hopkins took a sip of the drink in the cup: "I don't care what you think, but this screening, we must go all out, the Academy of Life Sciences seems to be secretive and does not want to make a noise, but in fact, it uses its complex network of connections, and the invitation is sent to all administrative districts of the entire empire."

And the most important thing is that this incident actually invited the Holy See and the government to intervene at the same time, either the people from the Academy of Life Sciences are stupid, or they have absolutely good reasons and absolutely urgent situations.

I assure you, this case is anything but simple.

In this case, if we make a contribution in this action, then what we can get is definitely an unimaginable wealth, and it may even affect the inclination and attitude of the Academy of Life Sciences towards the Holy See in the future.

So, give me a starting point! ”

Hopkins is only 34 years old and has only been in the trial court for three years, but he has already achieved the position of judge in the third division.

Although the people around him are all judges and seem to have similar positions, almost all of them have been working for almost ten years before they have their current status.

There are even rumors that this genius, who has been in the company for three years, will take over the post of presiding judge next year.

At this rate, he is likely to be promoted to trial in the next few years, and even before the age of 50, he will be one of the top jury members of the court.

Even after the opening of the holy calendar, the youngest judge of the court?

Although all this is speculation and imagination at the best of times, Mr. Hopkins has indeed shown an astonishing ability in a short period of time, whether it is strategy, reasoning, determination, execution, out-of-the-box thinking, and intuition enough to be called terrifying, he has easily become the best man of his generation.

And the strong deserve to be respected.

"Yes!"

The voices of the surrounding people were not loud, but they all responded very cautiously.

Hopkins nodded, in fact, several colleagues around him are also extremely outstanding people, otherwise it would be impossible to receive an invitation, but some are too proud, some are too religious, or because they are too smart, so they seem a little lazy, in short, he is not worried about the performance of these people in the screening for a while.

So in the process just now, his gaze has been 'inadvertently' sweeping over the civilian detective not far away, and his gaze has become more and more cautious and sharp.

London is a very common city, and it is often mentioned in the case files of the trial courts.

Just half a year ago, there was a case in London in which the wife of a deacon was tortured and killed. Originally, this kind of case was not very conspicuous for the Inquisition, whose scope of supervision reached the whole empire, and it was really too trivial compared to the fact that 'one pope killed another pope's daughter'.

But coincidentally, the London case was handled by Hopkins.

Although the case had already been closed by the time he was in charge, and the deacon had been killed on the spot, there was only one battle nun and one high priest on the list of cases.

Although the strength of these two people is not weak, it still seems a little unsightly compared to the kind of guy who only knows how to pursue and kill in the Judgment Division.

Even with the addition of dozens of temporary steam armors, it will not work.

With this suspicion in mind, Hopkins, after reading the dossier several times, finally turned his attention to a private investigator who was 'temporarily assisted'.

Although there is no mention of the private investigator's name in the case file, let alone what he did, Hopkins just feels that the private investigator definitely played an extremely important role in this case.

Even, he is the key to the safe resolution of this case.

After several hours of waiting, finally, the people who entered the screening today have arrived.

The School of Life Sciences also adhered to their usual style of acting, without any opening remarks, nor did they have any time to introduce each other, and even, without changing places, I saw a staff member pushing a trolley into the lounge.

And on the trolley, there was a stack of papers. Or rather, the test papers.

No one thought that the Academy of Life Sciences, the most cutting-edge and high-end scientific research institution in the entire empire, would be so primitive in its way of screening places.

However, the thickness of the stack of test papers made everyone present feel a rushing oppressive force.

It is nearly two meters long, which is thick, and it needs to be tied with a cloth belt on the trolley, and the length of each piece of paper is about half a meter long.

There are about 30 people in the lounge now, so if it is evenly distributed, how many questions do one person need to do?

I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it

Just when everyone was stunned, the staff member who came in with the cart was very polite, bowed slightly to everyone, and then said:

"Hello everyone, as you can see, this is the test question used for this screening tester." He patted the test paper next to him that was about to reach the ceiling:

"Here are the real files collected from the major political districts of the empire, of course, the closed parts have been removed, leaving only clues and testimonies. The laws vary from place to place, time to place, and from region to region, but all of you have to do is find out the perpetrators of these cases, just like the investigators at the time.

If you have completed a dossier, then you can come and pick up another one, if you feel that the dossier in your hand is not suitable for you, you can also come and change the set, the whole test time lasts until midnight, during this period, you can feel free to use the food and drinks in the lounge, if you feel tired, you can also go to the rest room to sleep, you need to talk to family or friends, the lounge is also equipped with telephones.

Of course, everyone has their own habits, if you need some special equipment, cigarette brand, wine, or chocolate, etc., you can ask our staff, if possible, we will do our best to help you out.

At the end of the day, the Academy of Sciences will have a dedicated staff to count their performance, judging criteria including but not limited to correctness, quantity, type of case suitable, amazing ideas, description of the thought process, etc.

so

The test begins. ”

After saying that, the man divided the test paper beside him into several stacks, and then walked to the corner of the room, and stood there with great dignity, like a sculpture.

There was a silence.

Some of the people in the room were still amazed at how simple and rude the screening test of the Academy of Life Sciences was, directly dragging all the case files within the Quan Empire as the topic; Others pondered whether there was a better strategy for answering questions under this rule; More often than not, they looked at each other, expressing surprise at the length of the test and dissatisfaction with the 'no change' operation.

But the good thing is that no one wants to cheat.

As I said before, the people here are all elites in their respective fields, and of course they will not choose to cheat or take advantage of loopholes in this situation, not only because their self-esteem does not allow it, but the key is that they will not treat the Life Science Institute as a fool, let alone joke about their future.

Soon, the first person stood up, walked over to the dossier, flipped through it, and then took a copy and returned to his seat to read it carefully.

Immediately afterwards, everyone got up, and all picked out the dossier they seemed to be good at, and for a moment the whole lounge became extremely quiet, except for the sound of a few pen tips scratching the pages.

And Sherlock also took a copy of the file, but instead of picking, he walked over, touched a copy on the top, and came back.

His behavior did not attract too many people's attention, after all, if he seems to be good at it, he may not be really good at it, and the progress of the case is complicated, and no one can predict it.

But 15 minutes after he sat back in his seat, he suddenly got up again. Instead of putting the file back, he took another copy.

A few people looked up and saw the scene, but they didn't pay much attention to it, and quickly turned their attention to their own tests again.

Until another 20 minutes passed.

"Kara~~"

It was the soft sound of the sofa chair rubbing against the floor, and Sherlock got up again, then went to the trolley, and still didn't pick another one.

Finally, some people cast doubtful and even extremely displeased glances at it.

"This guy can't be messing around, is he?"
