No matter how tenacious the belief is, the moment it cracks, it is already doomed to collapse.

A sense of powerlessness began to erode Catherine little by little.

So at this time, she looked at the detective in front of her in a daze, although at this moment she could clearly see the powerful confidence exuded by Sherlock, but at the same time, her reason told herself that even if the person in front of her was really the most powerful detective in the world, what could she do?

Fortunately, that kind of stubbornness in her bones still makes Catherine insist on believing in each other, but this insistence seems so thin and desperate.

And what about Sherlock. He didn't seem to care about the powerlessness in Catherine's eyes at all, but shook the supervisor who was still pinching in his hand, and found that he should have held it too tightly, blocking the other party's mouth and nose, causing this guy to pass out without taking a breath.

Simply, I threw it to the ground.

"Actually, I really have a friend who is very good at communicating with people, if he is there, he will definitely be able to ask a lot of things, I am a little unsure, sometimes impatient, the start is not light or heavy, easy to kill directly." There was some regret in his tone: "But it doesn't matter, that guy should have already come this way, and he should be there in a few days." ”

As he spoke, he also cast a "rest assured" look at Catherine.

For the next few days, everything suddenly seemed to be extremely easy and logical.

Because Sherlock told Catherine not to be in a hurry, just do what he said, and Catherine naturally listened to Sherlock's advice.

As a result, Sherlock actually asked Catherine to do nothing but sit at home, drink tea, look at the scenery, and even have a cat if she gets bored.

Catherine is certainly not in the mood to have a cat. She sat in her chair and listened to Maude's report, her grip on her hand tightening, her brow furrowing deeper and deeper, and her heart becoming more and more uneasy.

"Yesterday afternoon, a scientific advisor from the Imperial Government came to the institute and said that he wanted to test the soul vision device, accompanied by 93 people."

A scientific advisor certainly doesn't need 93 people to accompany him, so among these people, there is also the so-called testing team, the accompanying guards, the servants who take care of the advisor's daily life, and even two nurses who specialize in massaging him, because the scientific advisor suffers from frozen shoulder.

Of course, no one knows what their real identities are, in short, a large number of people have entered the life science institute so generously, and they have also chartered a hotel, looking like they want to stay here for a long time.

Butler Maude finished reporting the day's news, and then began to stand silently beside her young lady as usual, and Catherine sat quietly, and the table in front of her was set with a delicate breakfast, but she did not move at all.

After a long time, Steward Maude finally spoke slowly:

"Miss, the old dean has just been gone for more than three months, and so many things have happened, and now another group of people have been put in

If we don't find a way to stop it in time, there will definitely be a second group of people, a third group of people, and we are now a big cake, and we want to cut a piece of it if we are individuals. ”

"Say whatever you want." Catherine said lightly.

Steward Maude exhaled slowly, as if he had made an extremely difficult decision: "Otherwise, let's announce the death of the old dean as soon as possible, so that we can also determine the candidate for the next dean as soon as possible, the academy is too big, there must be a leader, otherwise it may really not last long." ”

Steward Maude's tone was very light and humble, and his waist, which had always been straight and straight, was bent as hard as he could, as if it had a hint of supplication.

He followed Dean Darwin for so long, and watched the Academy of Sciences grow little by little in the hands of his master, and even became independent of the Holy See and the government, becoming a world that truly belongs only to scientific researchers.

And now, with the death of his master, he watched this paradise-like place being eroded little by little, and the anxiety in his heart almost reached an extreme.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to say such a thing to the young lady.

However, Catherine did not answer immediately, but was silent for a long time before finally speaking slowly: "But now announcing my father's death means that we recognize the nature of his death."

"Miss." Steward Maud simply kept bowing like this: "Someone wants to take advantage of this opportunity to share the food academy!" I know you're reluctant to be determined by your master, but this case is too hard to investigate, that private detective. He can't do it, no matter how you think about it, he can't compete with so many people who covet the Academy of Sciences.

I know that as a housekeeper, I'm not qualified to say that.

But I beg you, Miss, to stop trusting that person. ”

With a "snap", the steel fork in Catherine's hand was broken, and the sharp section crossed her palm, if it was an ordinary person, it was enough to bring down a deep piece of flesh, but on her palm, only a shallow scar was left but there was also blood oozing out, and it was also very painful.

Catherine's face was expressionless, quietly watching the blood in her palms slowly oozing out, remembering the unreliable appearance of the other party when she first met Sherlock, the irresponsible tone, and the shock she brought to herself again and again afterwards, and the strong confidence that she unintentionally exuded when she gave herself a promise.

The rationality and sensibility in her heart had a fierce battle at this moment!

finally

"Give him a little more time, I know this man doesn't seem that reliable, but trust him once, even if it's just for a week, or three days. He's sure to bring some news that will shock you and me. ”

After Steward Maude heard this, the body that had been bent also showed a trace of depression, and he shook his head a little sadly.

"There is no time, at this moment, the accompanying security personnel have already transferred the equipment developed by the master to a warehouse, and surrounded it, if it is not surprising, the so-called scientific adviser will soon announce the danger of the old dean's research results.

And by tonight at the latest, those people are going to destroy the device.

The master's 30 years of hard work can't be saved.

No matter how good that detective is, he's now. I can't do anything anymore."

At that moment, Sherlock dropped a cigarette butt on the ground, stomped it out with his foot, and walked into an experimental building.

Through the long hallway, up several flights of steps, finally, you came to a storeroom.

Around this storeroom, there are at least 30 people in security uniforms, all of whom are fully armed.

In a place like the Institute of Life Sciences, I can't help but feel a little ridiculous to see so many people with weapons gathered together, just like I said before, some people are shameless, and it can really reach an unimaginable level.

Seeing Sherlock approaching, a security guard immediately stepped forward.

"Hello, there is an important experimental site ahead, please leave here immediately!"
