Chapter 106: Foxes are always good at deceiving people
At this moment, history is being changed by itself.
Ivas felt the context of [history] very clearly.
The glow called "Possibility" was being held in his hand, beating vigorously.
He remembered very well - in the original plot, Sherlock had not been attacked with such violence.
Until Sherlock disappeared completely a few years later, there was still no correct answer to the case of his father, Arthur Hermes, who had been framed for the time.
Even the person "York Hermes" does not appear in the main plot at all.
- Although Ivas basically didn't watch the plot, he just had such confidence. Although he skips all the plot CG when he plays by himself, he still reads the posts of the player community and interprets the video of the plot UP master to cloud the plot.
In terms of Sherlock's popularity among players, as Sherlock's uncle...... If York Hermes had ever made an official appearance, he would have been discussed. Especially after Sherlock's disappearance, it is impossible that no one mentioned the name.
Not to mention, York is also a legal adviser hired by Lloyd's, the largest gang in Avalon, and a senior member of Lloyd's; At the same time, he is also involved in the noble red association and the alchemy bomb case, and there are definitely a lot of secrets hidden in him. In the timeline when he didn't attempt to assassinate Sherlock, it's likely that Mr. York wasn't a passerby either.
He has at least three clues tied to Lloyd's, the Noble Red Society, and the Minister of Trade, and it is likely that it is related to the curse of the royal family, and may even be related to the Hawkeye organization.
That is, all the events of the entire 1.0 version, all of which have a close intersection with the "York Lawyer"!
Ivus prefers that he was killed before he could attempt to assassinate Sherlock, or that he was killed by another group. That's why he didn't appear in the perspective of the "player" during the whole process, and he didn't participate in any of the main story at all.
This person is undoubtedly a very critical breaking point, and may even be the most vulnerable link in the entire conspiracy chain.
- Now that Sherlock has a little contact with Lloyd's, he must kill Sherlock. That means that his current situation should be very delicate.
The reason why he had to kill Sherlock right away was simple. From Ivus's point of view, things are already very clear.
The biggest change here and in the plot is the phrase "Sweater Brotherhood" mentioned by Ivas in his dream.
"Sherlock, you calm down and listen to me. We don't need to investigate your uncle, York Hermes.
"Let's exchange positions first."
- Mr. Sherlock Hermes, the most famous detective on Glass Island, the chief adviser to the Inspectorate, and the nephew of Lloyd's high-ranking Yorke Hermes, took Inspector Edward of Glass Island directly to Glass Island without any evidence or report, and the two personally raided the abandoned chemical factory stronghold with a rather hidden entrance, which had never been discovered in Lloyd's District.
At this time, the Sweater Brotherhood had not yet begun to steal the corpses in the Hangings Square, and they were no different from the Lloyd's-controlled Strangulation Party, no different.
It just so happened that at this time, a large number of alchemy bombs smuggled from the Star Antimony Kingdom were piled up in the abandoned chemical factory. And this batch of alchemy bombs was ordered by the Minister of Trade, who had a deal with the Noble Red Society.
ββ¦β¦ What would I think now if I were a senior at Lloyd's? β
Ivas crossed his fingers, placed the teacup in the palm of his hand, and said in a calm and calm tone: "Then I can only think that His Excellency 'York Hermes' inadvertently leaked the secret while trying to recruit you. And the fact that you reported it directly to the Inspectorate inadvertently proves another thing - you know that Lloyd's has planted eyeliner in the Inspectorate. β
ββ¦β¦ I see. β
When Ivus said this, Sherlock immediately understood: "I went to look for Edward, in fact, because I was not sure whether the information you gave me was true or false, and I took him to see the situation.
"In the beginning, we didn't know what kind of amazing results we could get. Because I have a good relationship with Edward, even if I play him once in a while, it's fine, at most I can laugh at him......"
As he spoke, he stood up and began to walk around the room.
As he paced, he said at a very fast pace: "In my eyes, Edward's relationship with me is that of a friend to be trusted; But in the eyes of those at Lloyd's, Edward's most conspicuous label was 'Inspector General of the Isle of Glass'. As an advisor to the Inspectorate, I went straight to the Inspectorate and went to the Inspector General, without even informing the Inspectorate, which means that I already knew that Lloyd's had installed a large number of its own people in the upper echelons of the Kingdom. β
Sherlock paused and looked back at Ivus, who was in a wheelchair: "I obtained these two pieces of information at the same time, so it can only be explained...... It was York Hermes who leaked. β
Ivus nodded: "So, if he can't recruit you, he must kill you himself." to prove that there is no betrayal. β
ββ¦β¦ That's why he did it himself. β
Sherlock stood there in thought for a moment, then walked over and lowered his voice, "Then I'm going to fine-tune my plan, Ivus. β
"Why don't you tell us about your previous plans?"
"It's simple. First of all, find a way to test whether he is the murderer...... Of course, it shouldn't be needed now. β
Sherlock replied, "I heard from Mr. Bishop that your holy sword is not yet usable, which means that you don't actually have combat power. So I'm not going to put you in charge of the most dangerous part...... That is, the arrest of him.
"My funeral will be tomorrow morning, and Uncle York will be there for my funeral.
"My brother Mike Loft is the only one in my family who knows I'm not dead, and he's also very smart and trustworthy. In order to make my parents' acting seem more natural, my parents didn't know about it. I originally intended to use this atmosphere to make him let his guard down. β
"What about after you let your guard down?"
Ivus asked, "Trick him out and kill him?" β
"That's about it."
Sherlock nodded, "I also have a backup intelligence storage site somewhere I frequentβI really have one like this, and it's not improvised. There are literally stored the results of my investigation of Lloyd's, and everything is true. β
Ivas quickly understood Sherlock's plan: "You want him to strike again. β
"Yes," Sherlock said in a deep voice, "he's too cautious. Whenever he is in public, he is always accompanied by one or two of his arbitrator friends.
"My uncle's favorite thing on weekdays is to hunt young people with great talents, and to associate with them sincerely when the other party's status and ability are lower than his own. Wait for the other party's talent to blossom, and then let them protect themselves in turn.
"His hunting range is not even limited to 'young people', but also to those who are suddenly in trouble...... As a lawyer, he easily meets this kind of person. For example, Inspector Gordon, who was in the newspaper with you that day.
When Gordon first retired, his family was embroiled in troublesome lawsuits. York helped him with this problem and went around to give him a job. He even started as the deputy director of the Inspectorate...... Although without him, Gordon would probably have a good identity in the end, but Uncle York's behavior will always give a pretty good impression. β
I see, it's an angel investor.
It dawned on Ivus.
It was no wonder that Sherlock was troubled at the moment, and it was no wonder that Gordon, an old-fashioned-looking old knight, would take the initiative to shake his hand at that time.
This is a true upper-class courtesan. It's like a low-profile Professor Moriarty.
He has no handle and no flaws, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to make a move, he is invulnerable. Even if he leaves evidence, he may not be convicted in the end with his connections.
In that case, after getting information from him, you can't let him go back easily...... Otherwise, you'll only get yourself in trouble.
Ivus narrowed.
It just so happened that he had previously touched two good poisons from the Miss Assassin.
- One of them can make a person die a natural death.
So he thought for a moment and whispered, "Your plan is not right. β
Sherlock didn't question it for the first time, but frowned and thought for a moment: "Are you worried that he will let his subordinates or friends take it?" β
"Your mind is too disciplined, Sherlock. You've been so deeply influenced by authoritarian ways that you ignore the fact that thugs are unreasonable. β
"What would I do if I were your uncle?" Will I risk my own incriminating evidence, or will my subordinates or friends have a chance to discover who they really are? β
"He can also kill the man who took the evidence." Sherlock added.
"Yes, but it's not safe. It is entirely possible for the other party to inspect it privately, leave a part of it, or even threaten him in return. Their relationship seems to be good, but that's exactly what it is. At best, it can only be regarded as a network, and there is no loyalty to speak of. β
Ivas closed one eye slightly and whispered, "If I were him, I wouldn't give these people any chance to get into too deep secrets. At best, it can only be regarded as 'making up'.
From this point of view, the safest way to do this is to have the members of the Noble Red Society directly blow up your safe house and completely destroy the evidence on a physical level.
"So your previous plan was not reliable, and it could put Edward and you in danger. It's time to say something fresh. β
When Ivas said this, Sherlock seemed to have a hallucination - this young man who was holding a teacup and drinking milk tea slowly, sitting in a wheelchair with a gentle smile, had a feeling of extreme danger at the moment.
It was a very different sense of danger from the cold, silent of his brother Edward. Obviously he is smiling, polite, mild-mannered, and gentle, but for some reason it makes people shudder.
There is also an indescribable sense of familiarity......
Suddenly, Sherlock reacted.
- Ivas at this moment, just like his adoptive father, Professor Moriarty.
He was stunned for a moment before he reacted and coughed lightly. clumsily concealed his surprise.
ββ¦β¦ So my new plan is that you'll slowly befriend Sherlock tomorrow as a friend of him...... You can even pretend to join Lloyd's. Whatever you do, the ultimate goal is to leave him alone. and inform Edward to successfully capture him. It's best to get it done as soon as possible and don't make a big fuss. The longer I 'die', the harder it will be to get back...... When the next time I advance, I probably won't be able to hide the fact that I'm still alive.
"I'm ashamed, but I'm not really good at acting. Especially in the dream world, where a person's instincts and habits are forced out. That said, we have three weeks left at most, preferably in two weeks. β
Sherlock patted Ivus on the shoulder, "I'm sure you can do it, 'foxes' are always good at deceiving people." β
He is particularly heavy on the word "fox".
β¦β¦ Didn't you just drink too much and didn't care? Why is it that now that the wine has woken up, it has begun to be obsessed again?
Ivas, who was sitting comfortably in a wheelchair, sneered.
But he's really good at this - isn't it just a quick brush of trust on the other side?
Don't worry, I will.
