This suitcase was bought a long, long time ago, the thickest cowhide, which is covered with a strong nylon mesh, the workmanship has been good for so many years, and it still hasn't broken, usually Sherlock will bring this big box every time he wants to end a case, in addition to the convenience of loading people, it is more of a habit.

And now, he still follows this habit.

Oh, and if you have to ask, how did Sherlock break away from the tight defenses around Baker Street, it's actually very simple, his current realm has spread out into the ancient Roman formation, so he can be dragged directly through the sun in hell.

At this moment, he came to Watson with the box and opened it.

Actually, there's nothing too surprising in it. A pistol, some bullets, that's all.

Sherlock didn't know why Watson would specifically ask him to bring this gun over, because guns are not difficult to get, and you can capture a lot of them by killing a few city guards, but just like Watson wouldn't ask Sherlock how he escaped from the encirclement, Sherlock wouldn't have wondered why Watson had brought a gun, he didn't even look at the gun carefully, everyone had to be a little secret, this is human nature.

Watson picked up the gun, spun it around in his hand very casually, and the gun seemed to disappear, not knowing where it was hidden, and then he put the few bullets in his pocket:

"What's next?"

This time, he accompanied Sherlock to kill someone, so naturally he had to respect Sherlock's opinion.

Of course, he also knows what the process of this operation is like, since he wants to kill people, he naturally has to know where the people to kill are, and the ancient Roman city is the political center of the empire, all the information in it is not open to the public, even if some visitors are allowed to enter the city, they are all within the planned range, and they cannot enter the heavily guarded inner city at will.

As a result, it becomes very difficult to determine the location of the target.

Fortunately, there will always be intersections between people, these days, he can find a few soldiers of the guard, as well as government workers to ask, Watson believes in his ability to communicate with people, at most three or four days, he can collect useful clues, and according to these clues, Sherlock should also be able to quickly deduce the location of the target, there are still a lot of stranded people in the city, and time should be enough.

Just thought about it

"Augustine the Great is in a single building in the inner city, probably along block 23 to the north, through six security posts, and then past an imperial treasury building, as well as a garden area."

“.” Watson listened to Sherlock's words, was silent for a few seconds, and finally asked the question he didn't want to ask, but he couldn't hold back: "How do you know?" ”

"Through the transportation path of the vehicles, in recent years, almost every 20 days, there will be several transport vehicles through the inspection checkpoints in the city, I checked the route of these cars along the way to refuel, and found that they are all from several pharmaceutical companies in the empire, after entering the inner city, the places of stay and return are near that building, and every six months, a group of medical teams will go to that building, considering the old emperor's condition can not go out often, it must not always be able to move places, Then the chances of him staying in that building are more than 95%. ”

Watson listened to Sherlock's explanation, the curiosity in his expression did not completely dissipate, and there was nothing wrong with the other party's reasoning, but how did he get the source of this information?

Seeing Watson like that, Sherlock didn't explain much.

Emperor Augustus's security measures are naturally the highest level, so every transportation record of medicines is very detailed, and his temple of thought has a very fast search ability in the record of information, as if that power naturally has an extremely keen perception of things in the form of words, Sherlock wants to see, then it can be quickly presented in front of him, in fact, if it is not for the fear of omissions, he deliberately made such a detailed record, he may not be able to find the target so quickly.

"Also, at 2 o'clock in the morning, a group of medical teams will meet at an inn at the end of the street, drawn from eleven of the top hospitals in the Empire, and I don't think it's very likely that they all know each other, and they are here for a final health check after Augustine the Great leaves office.

This time, Augustine the Great's resignation was not foreshadowed in advance, it was a completely sudden decision, so most of the processes were not prepared in time, and the medical testing team was also notified at the short notice, and the photos and detailed files of the relevant personnel could not be mailed in the morning. ”

"Of course." Watson nodded.

In fact, it sounds like a very simple thing to mix into a team that doesn't know each other, but if you really want to do it, you need to have extremely strong comprehensive quality, exquisite words, observe words and colors, and adapt to changes. If you pretend to be dumb in the corner, you can do it casually.

And Watson agreed to this matter so lightly, which shows that he has great self-confidence in this kind of thing.

But in fact, Sherlock was able to get this kind of information, which was surprising enough.

Anyway, both of them glanced at each other, and after sighing at each other's talents in some way, Watson asked:

"What about you? Sneak in with me? ”

"I'll forget it, after all, the medical knowledge is not as good as your major, and the image is a little mismatched, I have a better way."

Watson nodded.

With that, the two of them talked about the contact information and some precautions after entering the inner city, Watson turned and went back to the tavern, while Sherlock pressed the brim of his hat and walked into the street where the night breeze was a little cooler.

In the early hours of the morning, several military transport vehicles stopped in front of a hotel, some of which were not too big, but extremely sophisticated medical facilities were carried onto the vehicles, and under the watchful eyes of the soldiers, more than forty medical personnel also got into the cars and drove in the direction of the inner city.

This was Augustine the Great's last health check-up as a king, so these doctors took it very seriously, and considering that the examination required the strictest disinfection measures, they wore smooth leather coats and olecranon masks with filtering functions, which was the standard for doctors of this era.

And Watson, at this time, was already mixed in with these people.

Not only did it mix in, but it mixed very well.

Exquisite speech and detailed performance can allow him to give some cognitive deviations in front of different people, this kind of technical work generally appears in some high-end homeless people, they specially participate in the wedding of some nobles, left and right at the banquet, so that the man's people think that they are the woman's friends, and let the bride's family feel that they are a distant relative of the groom's side, so back and forth, generally no accident, dozens of meals throughout the year will not be found, and even pull some interpersonal relationships.

Of course, Watson's situation is much more high-end than theirs, and he has done it more perfectly, just now in the hotel in a few dozen minutes of short communication, he has won the respect of most of his peers in medical skills, and even chatted well with a few young nurses, and left a phone number, but if these nurses really go back to dial the number, they will find that these calls are answered by a stranger, or simply empty numbers.

The vehicle went through one checkpoint after another, and the heavily armed guards searched all the instruments and medical equipment, because the new emperor's enthronement ceremony has ended, and the various handover links in the city are in full swing, although no one will think that there will be people mixed in this kind of team, but they still ask everyone extremely tricky medical knowledge, this kind of question only the most professional doctors will know, in order to distinguish the true identity of these people, and compared to people, the more critical is the investigation of weapons, With abundant demonic tranquilizers and high-intensity defensive firepower, no one could touch a finger of the Emperor without mobilizing an army.

In this way, it was not too far, and it took more than two hours to finally come to a building that looked unremarkable, and all the doctors in the car got out of the car, took off their olecranon masks, and conducted a final body search.

And at this moment, on the top floor of the building in front of him, Augustine the Great was in front of the window, sitting quietly in a wheelchair, looking at the ancient Roman city below, having stayed here for decades, he seemed to have already regarded this city as his home, and now he knew that he was about to leave here, and there would always be a trace of emotion in his heart.

In fact, looking back on his life, although he has been covered with countless honors, he has been losing friends, daughters, political partners, people who understand him, 60 years of imperial career, and in the end he seems to only have this city left, but at this moment, he even has to lose here

The old man lowered his eyes and squeezed, finding that he was still as dry as ever.

And at this moment, with his movements, his blurred vision passed through the glass in front of him, and he noticed the medical team that was being searched below, but in this team, one of the people seemed to raise his head by accident and glanced at him across the window and the night.

Augustine the Great was very old, and his vision had long been blurred, but it was the inauthentic look at each other at this moment that made him slightly stunned.

"Who's that guy?" He lifted his old hand and pointed at the doctor below, who had lowered his head.

The nurse behind the wheelchair walked to the glass, also looked down, and then said softly: "It's just the people in the health examination team, because these people are formed as quickly as possible, so the information is still on the way to be mailed, and it is not clear which hospital that person is from for the time being." ”

"Hasn't the message been mailed in yet?" Emperor Augustine muttered, thinking that in the past few decades, every security inspection he had undergone was screened with the strictest care, and now, when he needed to give way to the new emperor of the empire, he was so rushed to even check that he couldn't wait for even a day.

So, the old man's eyes narrowed in silence
