Chapter 264: Just because I took one more look at you in the crowd.
Although the other party was wearing a breath-filtering mask and couldn't see the whole face, he could always hear the sound, so Watson explained like a nobody:
"Put the guns together."
For a long time before, Watson had a very strong interest in this gun, because it was so amazing.
At first glance, it seems unremarkable, but it has quite a lot of incredible features, such as the 'can be disassembled', which made Watson tinker with it for a long time.
Its parts can be matched with many things, buttons, temples, watch straps, earrings, necklaces, lighters, etc., in short, after repeated experimentation, this gun can be scattered on almost all kinds of objects, and then brought into all kinds of places.
Sherlock nodded, as if he thought the gun was quite interesting, and he should find time to borrow it to play with.
But certainly not now.
At this moment, he and Watson all blended into this room, and on the other side of the glass, where Augustine the Great usually received treatment, according to the process, he should soon walk in, and then start this medical test, and in the process, a random bullet can kill the old man.
It all seemed so simple, but if someone else did it, it would be absolutely impossible, after all, no one could blend into the medical team like Watson, and bring a gun in under everyone's eyes, let alone someone who passed through layers of levels, and finally silently disguised as a security soldier, only a glass away from the target.
That's what Moriarty fears the most. Sherlock has been doing things according to his own preferences, and what's even more terrifying is that he can really do it.
After a few minutes, the people around them had finished their work at hand, so they all began to wait quietly.
One minute
Two minutes.
Augustine the Great was not in good health, and he came slowly, which is something that anyone can understand.
But after more than ten minutes, it still didn't appear, and there seemed to be some anxious urging in the medical team, because the test reagents they prepared could not stay active in the air for too long, and they came too late, and there might be data deviations.
And that's when .
Suddenly, a young woman's voice rang out over the loudspeakers above the room.
"Notice, this health test is temporarily canceled, and now, all the people in the house take off their uniforms and masks, and the guards put down their weapons and are being checked."
"Repeat. The health test was temporarily cancelled, and now, all the people in the house have taken off their uniforms and face shields, and the guards have laid down their weapons and are being examined. ”
This announcement came without warning, and for a moment, no one in the room reacted.
However, under the constant repetition of the voice in the loudspeaker, everyone still had to do it, although they didn't know what was happening.
Even Sherlock didn't know what was going on, because according to his judgment, there should be no revelation of his and Watson's actions, and there should be no clues, the only possibility is that Moriarty told Augustine the Great about it.
But this is not quite right, because of this sudden change, it is clear that someone has discovered something at some point just now, and knows that someone has infiltrated it.
But then again, this operation should be perfect until now.
Perfect indeed
Along the way, these two men did not leave a trace.
However, there are people who do things without looking at traces, without looking at clues, and without reasoning.
It's by intuition.
For example, Sherlock, in fact, has done a lot of cases, and when he sees a person, he doesn't need to observe the details of that person, he can guess that person is the murderer; For example, Irene. Miss Adler, when she saw Sherlock for the first time, knew that this man would definitely be able to shock the entire empire in the future; And Augustine the Great seemed to have this ability, he just glanced at the crowd for a moment, and his gaze interlaced for a moment with someone below, and even his eyesight was not enough for him to see the other person's face clearly.
But he just felt that something was wrong. In the air, there was a hint of murderous intent.
So, he canceled the health check and asked people to get their cars ready and airships on the outskirts of the city.
He is ready to leave now, leaving the city where he has stayed for 60 years, although he is still a little reluctant, but he has lost too many things in his life, so as long as he makes up his mind, he will not have any nostalgia, and he will go so suddenly.
And before leaving, he felt groundlessly that if someone wanted to kill himself, then the best time was when he was examined, although it was a bit impractical, but if there was such a person, he was strong enough, at this moment, that person was probably already in that room, and if he was examined, then the other party would only be separated from him by a glass.
This kind of thinking is not cowardice, it is not a cup of the bow and a snake, and it is not carried away by fear.
On the contrary, it is a great affirmation of its own strength.
Augustine the Great knew that he was a strong, even great, man, otherwise he would not have been able to hold the empire for decades.
And the person who is qualified to be his opponent, the other party must also be extremely powerful, so a powerful person can naturally do the most unbelievable things without caring how the other party does it, let alone speculating about those things that common sense cannot accomplish, in short, believe in yourself at the same time, but also believe in your own enemy.
Squeak.
The door to the room was opened, and then some soldiers with weapons walked in, and judging by the footsteps outside the door, there were many people in the corridor, in fact, these people did not know what was happening, but they were following the order, and the most detailed examination of everyone in this room.
"Hand over the gun." One soldier said to another.
They both felt a little ridiculous, but under the aim of countless guns, the soldier handed over the gun in his hand, and then the man was allowed to leave the room only after many people around him confirmed each other's identities, and even someone behind him hurriedly handed over a patrol watch for tonight.
After that, the next one.
And then the next one.
Everyone checked it in great detail.
Finally, someone came to Watson, pointed a gun at him, and shouted, "You! Why don't you take off your mask?! ”
At the same time, a soldier next to him also noticed Sherlock, he looked the other party up and down, as if he was carefully searching for the other party's appearance in his own mind, and finally frowned:
"I don't think I've seen you before"
