"Actually, it's okay, it's just that these guys are standing in the yard and it's a little annoying." Sherlock didn't seem surprised or surprised by Watson's arrival, but said naturally.

"I see." Watson smiled and nodded, then walked over to the gendarmerie captain and looked at him very politely.

"So, sir, didn't you hear what my friend said, he said. You're a little annoying. ”

The gendarmerie captain didn't know the man on the other side at all, but he felt that he was a little too pretty, and he felt the other party's gaze staring at him, and he panicked inexplicably.

He didn't know why he was panicking, he had experienced the experience of life and death on the front line, as a professional soldier, he should have been not afraid of threats such as death for a long time, but why did he face this man, but his movements were a little stiff.

It was as if if something worse than death would happen to him if it fell into his hands.

The gendarmerie captain swallowed. At the same time, he glanced sideways slightly, glanced at the steam locomotive with the symbol of the noble church on the side of the road, and finally realized that he should not stay here any longer.

So, he reluctantly squeezed out an apologetic smile.

Although he was extremely unwilling, whether it was the fear in the man's smile, or the pressure on his status brought by the steam locomotive in his rationality, he had to smile apologetically:

"I'm really sorry to disturb you, there must be some misunderstanding here, anyway, let's leave now."

After saying that, he immediately turned around and trotted out of the yard, without even making a retreat gesture to the group of gendarmes behind him, but the group of people under him were not stupid, and immediately swished away with the captain.

It wasn't until the group had completely disappeared from sight that Watson finally felt that there were no more eyesores, and he looked solemnly at Catherine on the steps, followed by a very graceful bow.

For ladies, he has always been very polite:

"Hello, beautiful Miss Catherine, John. Greetings from Watson. ”

In the study, the temperature generated by the fire surrounds the brass pipes, wrapping the whole space extremely comfortably, and Watson, Catherine, and Sherlock sit on the sofa, looking at each other.

Catherine didn't meet Watson. Maybe I had a momentary interaction with him on the day of Holy Love, but I was only surprised by his appearance, and the rest of the rest was not known at all.

So she was really a little shocked by Watson's identity.

The car he was in should have been equipped only by the Pope, or even the high-ranking members of the Holy See above the rank of bishop, and if she was still a clergyman, then the people in the car would be enough for her to come forward to greet her and show the most respect.

But this John. Mr. Watson's identity when he entered the Academy of Sciences turned out to be. Accompanying doctor.

How can there be a doctor who comes to report in the exclusive car of the Holy See?

To Catherine's surprise, Sherlock seemed to have a very good relationship with the man, like the kind of roommates who had lived together for years.

Thinking back to the intersection between Sherlock and the Son on the Day of Love, Catherine actually felt that Sherlock's identity was similar to that of the security personnel assisting the Son, after all, he was subordinate to the London security administration at that time.

But now that it seems again, the relationship between this guy and the Holy Son is by no means so simple!!

Could it be that he is one of those secret Deadpools under the hands of the Holy Son?

No, he was a civilian more than half a year ago.

Oh, he's a civilian now, too.

Actually, what she was thinking about now wasn't of much use, and it didn't matter who was sitting in the car.

The important thing is that this car drove in from the edge of the life science academy, all the way through the long street, I don't know how many researchers looked down from the buildings on both sides, I don't know how many people watched the engraved sunflower logo cross half of the academy, and that was enough.

The car is not just a giveaway, but also an attitude.

Of course, unlike the so-called 'scientific advisory groups' that forced their way into the Academy of Sciences, this car did not bother anyone, although the golden sunflower logo was too dazzling enough to be called fanfare and undisguised, but at the same time it was extremely quiet, and there was not even a whistle along the way, which was undoubtedly a kind of respect for those scientific researchers who devoted themselves to their work.

Most researchers care about this kind of respect.

"So, Moriarty found a good reason to intervene?"

"Yes, in fact, he knows what has happened in the past few days. Even, he quietly contributed to it. Watson smiled and said, "In order to make the group of advisers appear more aggressive and shameless, to be honest, I think that guy is more insidious than you in some aspects." ”

"Needless to say, I've always thought I'm pretty decent, so for the rest, he can't really just get you in."

Watson listened to Sherlock's tone and complained slightly: "You always talk so hurtfully, even if you really only get me in, I'm not useless. But he did ask me to pass on a word to you, and he said, you don't have to tie your hands and feet, if something happens, he will settle it, and the bigger the incident, the more support he can give you."

Such a simple sentence made Sherlock raise his eyebrows.

"Heh, that guy is really so pretentious all the time, how much effort did the other party waste to get a group of dozens of people, does he want to prove to me that his means are very powerful?"

His Highness the Holy See's Holy Son wants to prove his strength with a civilian detective, which sounds ridiculous.

But Watson still smiled and nodded, "I think that's what he meant." ”

On the top floor of the building in the main experimental area of the Academy of Life Sciences, there is a dome made of high-strength glass, which can easily absorb the light and heat of the sun, so that the green plants under the dome can greedily bathe in the sun, and then grow unscrupulously.

In the spacious top-floor office, there is a large log desk, although it looks magnificent, but it is obviously old, and the wood grain on it has not been maintained for a long time, resulting in a trace of tiny cracks.

This is the office of Dean Darwin.

Originally, this should be the place with the highest authority, the highest administrative authority, and the highest resource mobilization authority for the entire Life Science Institute, and every document issued from here can affect the development direction of the entire Life Science Institute.

However, this office has hardly been visited for more than 30 years, and it stands at the top of the entire Academy of Sciences, but it is empty, like a jewel coveted by everyone, but the person who owns it dismissively throws it on the ground.

Vice President Holke stood in the sun, feeling that his body was warm by the sun, he looked at the empty old desk in front of him, his eyes did not show any special emotions, but he just kept watching.

He is 55 years old this year, but because he pays special attention to the maintenance of his body, he seems to be in good spirits, and thinking back to Professor Darwin's age, his waist has actually begun to stiffen

"That machine, it must be found in three days!"

He withdrew his gaze from his desk, then turned his head to look at the gendarmerie captain standing beside him, and said coldly.

At this time, the captain of the gendarmerie looked serious, and even showed a sense of nervousness in his seriousness.

Sherlock had said before, 'It's not up to them to decide who is on the scientific advisor's entourage.' ’

Therefore, this gendarmerie captain is definitely not just a gendarmerie captain, and the more than 30 gendarmes under his command cannot really be just ordinary gendarmes who carry guns and maintain internal security in the empire.

All of them came from the rear guard of the Redk Strait, and they had the most professional military qualities, and there were 7 second-order contractors and 11 first-order contractors in the team.

Just such a team, placed on the front line of Hell's Gate, is enough to carry out a small military mission.

That's why he was so angry when he found that such a big machine had disappeared under his nose!

"In the morning, I went to Dean Darwin's old house, in fact, I can basically determine that it is the ghost of the detective named Sherlock, but I don't know how he did it, and the guy is very clean, and there is no mistake left, if you just blindly look around, it is unlikely that you can find it."

Hearing the captain's words, Vice Dean Holke seemed to be a little puzzled: "Why do you want to go blindly to find it, the matter has come to this point, you can rush in and tie up that detective, I have seen the file where he participated in the screening, the canonization ceremony that he just participated in half a year ago, no matter how powerful he is, can he still compare with your group of soldiers who are soaking in the pool of blood every day?" ”

Speaking of this, the vice dean's face sank, and his tone became more gloomy, but he was also more determined: "As for Catherine's girl, as long as you don't do anything to her, I can suppress the rest!"

After all, if it weren't for the fact that girl was holding on to the news of her father's death, I would have been the official dean a long time ago! ”

As he said this, his eyes again looked at the office next to him, intentionally or unintentionally.

In fact, Dean Darwin was just a scholar, he didn't understand politics and management at all, and after becoming the dean, he still stayed in the laboratory all day, and rarely even came to the office; Over the years, the operation and capital flow of the entire School of Life Sciences have been the hard work of the vice president, and even the cooperation and contradictions between the various experimental bases are also being reconciled, and in his eyes, the School of Life Sciences can have today, at least 80% of his strength.

But on the contrary, all the scientific researchers seem to have the highest awe for the old dean, which makes him more and more unwilling and unhappy!

And when he said this, the captain of the gendarmerie did not respond immediately, but pondered for a long time before finally speaking tentatively:

"But. . . You should know that this morning, a steam locomotive of the Holy See stopped in front of Professor Darwin's old house, and I was there at the time, that car. The specs are high. ”

"Of course I do!" The vice president said coldly: "But don't worry, I have asked some friends in the Holy See that no one with the position of Pope or above has come here in the past few days, so the car is driven by the Holy See to scare people."

Your team is stationed in the Academy of Sciences, and it is naturally impossible for the Holy See to watch it, but it can't find a reason to come in, so it can only send a car to wander around. ”

After finishing speaking, he looked at the captain with some anger: "If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, think about it with your brain, if it is really a big man who is here, how can there be no accompanying team to follow?" ”

The captain of the gendarmerie was unhappy when he was taught a lesson, but he didn't dare to refute it, how high the position of the vice president of the Academy of Sciences was in the entire empire, he could think of it with his ass, and almost all his actions here were approved by him, and it could be said unceremoniously that if he said the word 'get out', then his team would not be able to stay in this place for even an hour

Besides, that machine was indeed lost under his own care, and it was indeed a loss.

But when he thinks of the man who got out of the car in the morning like a girl, he always feels worried from the bottom of his heart.

It's as if there's a reason in my heart that makes me paralyzed in fright, but I don't think about it for a while.

But I have been on the front line for almost 10 years, and that good-looking man doesn't look like a person who has been on the front line, so I have no reason to be afraid.

"So. I'll go again in a while, tie up that detective, and find a place to find out the whereabouts of that machine? The captain suppressed the strangeness in his heart, only thinking that it was a palpitation caused by his two days of not sleeping.

Vice Dean Holker's brows furrowed, as if to say: You soldiers don't have any thoughts of your own except to obey orders.

"It's Darwin's old mansion after all, and Catherine's girl is a clergyman, so it's foolish to force another conflict with her.

The best thing to do now is to intercept the detective on the road after he leaves the old mansion alone.

With your strength, you should be able to subdue it quickly, and whether you can ask anything after that depends on your means."

The gendarmerie captain thought for a moment, and knew that it was safer, so he nodded and left the office.

As a result, in the entire office, only Vice President Holker was left.

He watched the captain of the gendarmerie leave, and stood quietly for a long time, when suddenly he took a few steps to the door and locked it behind him.

He seemed a little relieved at the sound of the door lock, and then turned and walked behind the old desk, and slowly sat down on the same old office chair.

Immediately, I closed my eyes as if I was enjoying something.

After a full 10 minutes, he finally opened his eyes again, then picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number that was significantly longer than a normal phone.

This phone was privately configured for the old dean, and Granbell promised that this phone has its own line, and there will be no eavesdropping or checking call records, so that the dean can negotiate work matters with more peace of mind.

This is undoubtedly a very cutting-edge technology, but who would have thought that the old dean had not used it a few times.

"Toot ~ Toot ~ "

As the phone rang out, Vice President Hallk's frowning expression gradually eased, and there was no one around, but he began to become calm, and then began to smile, and finally, there was even some humility in his expression.

Finally, the phone was answered.

"Hello."

It's a very beautiful woman's voice, but just like these two words, there is no other polite phone greeting.

The Vice Dean smiled and said with an easy-going gesture that had never been shown to anyone else: "Hello, I'm Joseph Holke, Vice Dean of the School of Life Sciences, His Excellency Augustine said that you can call him between 3 and 3:15 p.m. today."
