Sherlock is just an ordinary person.

He is not the kind of savior who sees the future of humanity as his own responsibility.

Nor was he a man of great talent.

He's not even a good guy.

Sherlock, once the director of Scotland Yard, said that Sherlock had no respect for the law, no humanity, no grace, no regard for life, and in a way he was more evil than the criminals he caught, that is, a madman who did what he liked!

And now, this madman has taken over a case.

Even though this case involves a lot of things, such as human beings, such as the future, such as the structure of society, the stability of the race, and so on, etc., but in Sherlock's eyes, it is a case, and everyone tells him that it is a case.

Then the outcome of this case, it is absolutely impossible for him to accept.

Erin looked at the man in front of her, as a businessman, she believed most in her own vision, when she first met Sherlock, she dared to conclude that this man must be extraordinary, and after that, Sherlock's ability was indeed amazing, even stronger than she first thought.

This man made her admire, and it could even be said, that there was a little bit of something to be infatuated with.

But at this moment, she felt inexplicably afraid because of the other party's words:

"What are you going to do?"

Erin couldn't help asking.

Sherlock only responded lightly: "Of course it's closed." ”

"This case is closed."

"No, a murderer, acquitted, everyone treats him as a hero, and even after the abdication of Augustine the Great, he was respected by the people even higher than during his reign, this is not a closed case, it is just a transaction."

"It's a good deal for everyone." Erin looked a little nervous, she put down her glass, and took a step forward to approach Sherlock, "This is the best ending, you are the smartest person in the world, you should be able to understand, right?" ”

There seemed to be a faint 'request' in her tone.

However, Sherlock only smiled apologetically and shook his head: "Whether this ending is good or not depends on who Moriarty wants to remove the emperor from the throne and put a new king on power, and he has now got his wish; You want to popularize new energy, so as to expand your investment area, and you have also got your wish. ”

As he spoke, Sherlock looked at the crowd below, those who were cheerful, joyful, and tasting the fruits of the harvest:

"These people are very happy because they have their own expectations, and at the moment, their expectations have been fulfilled, whether it is wealth, power, or whatever, you can see that they are happy.

All of you got your wish, and it was certainly the best ending for you.

What about me? ”

Sherlock's words seemed to be asking Erin, but more often than not, so after a moment of silence, he shook his head:

"I haven't gotten my wish yet.

Actually, I have the least wishes, I just want this case to have a deserved ending.

I'm not a hero, I don't have those great hearts of compassion, and I'm not crying out for those who died in that disaster.

I just want to close the case.

Those who owe debts must pay back, and those who kill must pay for their lives, this is the simplest and most basic way to close a case, crimes cannot be whitewashed as great dedication, and what the murderer has done must be made public.

If you can't let me do it.

Then I'll do it myself."

After saying that, Sherlock was very satisfied with his words, as if he had finally found a good outlet for his feelings, grinned, and then turned and walked out the door.

"Wait a minute." Erin grabbed Sherlock's hand.

She seemed to know what the man in front of her wanted to do, but she just thought it was too ridiculous and terrifying, so she subconsciously wanted to stop it.

However.

"I know you're worried about me, thank you, but there's nothing you can do to stop me." Sherlock reassured, "Sure, you can let that one of your attendants give it a try, but with all due respect, if it had been a few months ago, when we first met, he might have left me behind, but now, he's dragging me for five minutes at most, so, don't waste time." ”

With that, he gently pulled out the hand that Erin was holding himself, pushed open the door to the room, and walked out.

Only Erin was left alone. Adler.

This made the Inquisition have to be respected, this woman who can take over a personal friendship with the Holy Son of the Holy See in her personal capacity, and this woman who secretly has a huge information network and countless unknown properties, at this moment, actually seems a little lost.

At this moment, the door to the room was pushed open again, and her attendant 'Godfrey' walked in, standing outside the door looking at her master with some concern.

"Miss, do you need me to do anything?"

This professional killer who once assassinated more than thirty second-order priesthoods with the identity of a human being, in fact, now feels that he may not be able to keep the man named Sherlock, but as long as his master says something, he is willing to fight for this life.

However, Erin just sat down in a chair and shook her head silently, she knew it didn't make any sense.

After a few more minutes like this, she finally spoke slowly:

"Reaching out to everyone who can influence Sherlock is going to have to try, whether it's useful or not."

Moriarty set up the post-Legacy Reception next to the River Thames to get closer to Sherlock, which was a way for him to express his gratitude to Sherlock.

Of course, this is not all thanks, Sherlock played a crucial role in this series of events, if he hadn't solved the Darwin murder case, then the current dean of the School of Life Sciences would have been Professor Holke, and then the wild demon controllable experiment would basically not be able to carry out normally, let alone show the world the success of this experiment within two months, and gain the approval of the entire empire, in short, it can be said that without Sherlock, there would be nothing today.

Therefore, Sherlock will definitely receive an extremely generous thank you gift from His Royal Highness the Holy Son, which is enough for him to complete the leap of class, and even directly obtain a high status and noble status, not only himself, but even his descendants will have a good life that is unattainable by recognition.

It's just that Moriarty has been so busy these days that he hasn't spared the time to personally deliver this thank you gift to Sherlock.

But he never thought that what he cared about now was no longer a thank you gift

At night, the ancient yet progressive city of London is still immersed in a festive and peaceful atmosphere.

At 7:30 a.m., the streets along the river under Big Ben were dismantled for the first time, and some wires were connected to the street lamps on both sides, and the entire area of nearly three kilometers along the river bank was lit up in an instant under the slight operation of the generators.

This is a rare energy source in electricity is widely connected to civilian facilities, so looking at the light source that is several times brighter than gas lamps, the citizens of London are extremely excited, they began to admire the greatness of technology, at the same time, the mayor of London is also under these lights to the excited people announced that in the next year, generators will be popularized in every major street in London, then, at night, London will be like daytime.

Scenes like this are being played out in almost all political districts, and some urban administrators can't control their inner surprises, and announce to the workers in advance that if the factory introduces electrical machinery, the efficiency of production will increase more than three times compared with the past, and the output value will naturally increase, and with it, the wages of all jobs will also increase.

In the report of the Holy Journal, there was a conjecture about the popularization of electricity, but it was just a 'big pie' that had not yet been confirmed, and the people of the empire would never have imagined that all this would come so quickly and so suddenly.

And so, the whole empire was cheering and jumping.

And in an apartment building on Baker Street, Sherlock knocked on the door of a first-floor room.

Watson came back early today, so he opened the door, looked at Sherlock and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Have you been busy lately?"

"I'm free."

"Come with me and kill someone, how about it?"

"Okay."

The two of them said lightly, as if it were the most ordinary small talk.

And that's when .

"Suzu ~ Suzu ~ Suzu ~"

A phone rings.
