Chapter 224: Tell Me the Law?
A few whispers echoed through the tunnel, some black muzzles were aimed motionless in the distance, several heavy steam armor came over, and the revolver machine gun embedded in the mechanical arm had been attached to the bullet chain, hanging from the side of the body, like an ugly trouser belt.
Everyone knows that there is no absolute light behind the winner, and under the power, there must be the ugliest and most shameless acts to support, but when you are really in these ugly quagmires, no one will be happy.
Illegal encroachment of the factory?
As long as you find the former person in charge of the factory, and then use money, or photos of your wife and children to force it casually, you can get a simple explanation.
The people who have been killed?
Everyone knew why those people were killed, and Sherlock didn't think that these people would have solid evidence, but it was easy to use this reason to drag it until the end of the Imperial Inheritance Ceremony.
It's just to find a stupid chess piece, using such a simple means, at this critical juncture, it seems so insidious and effective.
There were some embedded gas lamps in the tunnel, but under the huge searchlight source, it seemed so weak, and the wind blowing in at the entrance squeezed through the tunnel space of more than ten meters, turning into a roaring torrent, blowing everyone's clothes into a flying wind.
"Mr. Holmes, do you have anything to say about eyewitness claims that on the 17th of last month, you massacred 14 active-duty soldiers on the bridge over the West Side Reserve of the Academy of Life Sciences?" A guy who looked like a civilian stepped out from behind a steam-armored truck and pushed his glasses to make himself appear calm.
"If I'm not mistaken, the witness didn't reveal his name, identity, or all the other information, right?" Sherlock responded.
"Of course, even if it is revealed, we have the right to keep the witness confidential."
After Sherlock listened, he didn't pay attention to the other party, because this guy is obviously a cannon fodder who comes out to say some scenes, so it is useless to waste more time with the other party, in fact, this guy standing here has the same effect as putting a gramophone here.
Sure enough, the other party didn't pay attention to Sherlock's response, and saw a man dressed in a police officer's costume walk over with a pair of handcuffs in his hands. The light of the searchlight shone on the silver-white steel, and there was a slight ripple, which represented the timidity hidden in the mind of the handcuffed man.
Of course, he will be timid, because just to arrest the person in front of him, so many police forces were dispatched, which also proves that this guy is really capable of killing fourteen Imperial soldiers on the front line with just one person, and even several contractors among them.
At the same time, it also means that this guy can easily kill himself and most of the people standing here if he wants to!
Silence was like a knife falling on a thin line, all the people didn't speak, just watched the handcuffs hanging in the air, the muzzles around them were motionless, and the people in the steam armor also flowed fine sweat on their foreheads in the whistling wind because of the heat dissipation of the turbine, and they didn't know why, this guy in a long trench coat seemed to exude some kind of huge sense of oppression, so everyone was praying that this guy could obediently stretch out his hand and not resist.
And speaking of resistance. In fact, Sherlock knew that in this confined space, as long as he wanted to, then he could kill everyone here.
But that's sure to make things worse.
Even those who are hiding behind the scenes are trying to kill themselves here and smear the walls of the entire tunnel with blood!
For if that were the case, the experiments carried out here would have been labelled as a terrorist attack, and Sherlock would have been rightfully portrayed as a mad sociopath.
So he didn't resist, but he didn't obediently stretch out his hand, just stood calmly, and then lit a cigarette as if no one was around, and took a few puffs lightly, which made the surrounding atmosphere even more tense, and those with guns felt that their palms were beginning to be wet, and they could even hear their own pounding heartbeat.
That's when it happened
"You group of people really don't have a lot of brains, can you buy such a large factory area quietly, can bring in so many demons, and can also gather a large number of elite scientific researchers, and you can also know what kind of power is behind this with your ass, and you really don't care about it, and come to seal this place with a few guns?"
Seeing that Jamie had been avoiding his gaze and not speaking, Watson turned to look at the others around him, his tone was calm, but there was disappointment in them:
"Fighting on the front line is stupid, and you don't even know if you are deployed to be cannon fodder? I've been a soldier for a few years, and I know that military orders can't be disobeyed, but if I receive such an order, I'd rather stab myself twice and lie in the hospital for a few months than come here to wade into troubled waters. β
Watson is certainly not a person who likes to talk a lot of nonsense, but he also knows that he can't solve the problem by force now, so he just wants to make the group of guys in front of him recognize the reality, and it is best if you can put the gun down.
And with his words, several eyes also looked in his direction, and seeing the straight posture, gentle face, and squinted eyes, some people also swallowed silently.
Because they all recognized it, this person was the number two person in the mission dataβββ John. Watson.
has a military background, but the relevant information in the army is marked as [top secret], although it is an ordinary human being, but in the recent description, it is shown that this person in a certain pope-ordered pursuit operation, a person solved 21 professional pursuers, and the weapon used was just a scalpel, during the whole period, no one screamed, no one called for help, no one fired a shot, that is, in the process of chasing, suddenly disappeared into a shadow or corner, and was found again, It's already a corpse.
Such a description, placed on a quiet and peaceful person, makes that tranquility reveal a terrifying killing intent that is weird to the extreme.
In the follow-up information, it seems that the Pope who gave the order to hunt down and kill also suddenly disappeared mysteriously and never appeared again, and during his time in the Academy of Life Sciences, it showed that the retired military doctor had some good relations with the Holy See.
But there was still no response, and the muzzles of the guns were still straight.
finally
"Mr. Holmes, please cooperate with our investigation." The handcuffed man probably couldn't stand the atmosphere of the extreme slaughter in the field, and took a few steps forward.
Colleague, Watson was so silent that his left foot poked out lightly, blocking Sherlock's body, and with such a step, several explosion-proof personnel who were close around felt a huge sense of crisis, and almost pulled the trigger.
"What's next?" Watson asked.
"I haven't figured it out yet, so I'll wait."
Sherlock said unhurriedly, not even deliberately suppressing his voice.
Maybe it's his no-bodied attitude that makes Jamie on the sidelines. Daniels was a little angry and sneered:
"Don't hold those unrealistic luck mentality, kill to pay for your life, the empire is a place where the law is spoken, and no one can protect you!"
The voice did not fall
"The Empire is a place where the law is spoken?"
A voice suddenly came from the other end of the tunnel, and no one was to be seen, but every word it said seemed to be awe-inspiring:
"Well said!
Then I'd like to ask, this Sherlock. Mr. Holmes, what crime was committed, in which chapter, in which article?
Say it, I'm on your side today and help you get him arrested!
But if you can't say it.
You people here, there is one! Count one!
Give me a public announcement ticket waiting for the trial court! β
