A Weird Theater That Started In London

Vol 9 Chapter 13: Detective squad

   "Sir, in today's "Times", the "Advertiser" in the neighborhood has been sold out, and it may not be available until the evening."

"Ok."

  Mi Gao likes the kitchen very much, which makes him feel at home. Because of this, after passing the newspaper to Lu Li, the boy jumped into the kitchen with his newly bought ingredients.

   Lamb stew with peas.

  Fried steak.

   Steamed shrimp and crab.

   Cold watercress.

  ……

   In order to entertain Mr. Lu’s poor relatives in the countryside, Michael decided to show his hands and show off all the cooking skills that Mrs. Anna taught him.

"Nothing at all."

   On the second floor, a large living room.

   Lu Li handed the newspaper to Duke, looked at the fireplace that was about to go out, and threw a few pieces of firewood into it.

   If Duke's arrival is an unexpected joy, then Pan Ming, who is silent, can't help but worry.

   "Two days and three nights have passed, what's the matter?"

   Duke frowned, and said solemnly: "I have already inquired about it. I want to publish a missing person notice in The Times. It doesn't cost much, three pounds is enough."

   "Probably something is in trouble."

   After speaking, Lu Li turned and walked towards the room, taking out a book and two old newspapers from it.

   "But we can't wait any longer, let's start the investigation first, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, there will be news about Pan Ming."

   "Do you have a direction?"

   "That's right."

   Lu Li didn't mention the mysterious book about Miskatonic University immediately. He pointed to the newspaper and said, "Three directions."

  【Investigation of Southern Mental Hospital】

   [A thorough investigation of the truth about the fire on Tuli Street]

   "Mental hospital?"

   Looking at the place marked with a pen in his hand, Duke subconsciously thought of some unpleasant experiences, and said helplessly: "The weirdness of this world is hidden deep, and the lunatic asylum is indeed a good place to open up the situation."

   Hearing this, Lu Li just nodded, did not say anything, motioned Duke to continue looking down.

   "A bounty of ten thousand pounds!"

   "The Tully Street Fire? I know this. I heard it was the worst fire since the Great Fire of London in 1666. Most of the block was burned to ruins."

   Duke subconsciously took out the pipe from his arms, but found that he didn't get the cigarette ribbon out, he could only bite the cigarette holder, and muttered: "A big event like this will definitely attract most of the candidates."

   "London is not small, but compared to the worlds experienced in the past, it shows a difference."

   In fact, Lu Li had considered these things a long time ago, and didn't care too much, saying: "Rational competition."

   "What about the third option?" Duke nodded, and stopped struggling with this question.

   You must know that even without Pan Ming, the team formed by him and Lu Li is still more competitive than other candidates.

   "Meet our old acquaintances."

   Lu Li is a rare puzzle.

   And Duke reacted immediately, and while turning the pages of the newspaper in his hand, he blurted out:

   "Scotland Yard?"

   "Or, Mr. Lask? The leader of the Eastern District Civil Self-Defense Force."

Gu  During the entrance examination, due to time constraints, his own state, and the urgent pace of investigation, Duke has not contacted too many people.

  Among them, Harvard Vincent, chief officer of the Criminal Investigation Department, Conan, the famous detective novelist, and Mr. George Lask of the Eastern District Civil Self-Defense Force are the three main ones.

   "Master Vincent." Lu Li shook his head, and said helplessly, "This is different from the past. I will probably get to know it again."

   "But nothing has changed."

   Duke rubbed his pipe and looked at the request for help released by Scotland Yard, adding: "The police officers of Scotland Yard will never be able to give the citizens too much sense of security."

   "Otherwise, how can you set off the wise and martial arts of a private detective?"

   Talking, Lu Li seemed to think of something important, and he suppressed his expression, and said solemnly: "I remember, you just said that Holmes lives on this street?"

   Sherlock Holmes, male, from London, England, the most famous and outstanding detective in the history of world literature, and also a jazz.

   You must know that the conditions for the emperor's nobulation are harsh and serious, but they are granted to a fictional character in the book for the first time.

   "Yes." Duke nodded, dragging the pipe with his other hand, "I wanted to find Mr. Conan Doyle. He had given us the address, but that place didn't exist."

   Speaking of this, he felt that he was not rigorous again, so he added: "It doesn't exist in this world right now, maybe in other parallel worlds."

   "Because of the regret of not seeing Mr. Conan Doyle, after learning about the existence of Baker Street, I specifically inquired about it."

   "In room B at 221 Baker Street, there lives a Mr. Holmes who loves smoking and is a private investigator."

   Hearing this, Lu Li completely eliminated the idea of ​​overlapping names, "It seems that there is indeed nothing wrong with renting this house."

   "When will you visit him? Maybe the legendary detective can be invited to join in."

Duke was a little excited. At the first entrance exam, thanks to Mr. Conan Doyle’s blessing, they succeeded in narrowing the list of suspects and successfully caught the murderer. Now, they can tie Holmes to a chariot. Gain.

   But Lu Li was pessimistic about this, and just asked rhetorically: "Who is Sherlock Holmes in the original book?"

   "He has a long body, often holding a pipe and a cane, and likes to wear a tall felt hat when going out."

   Duke makes a recollection.

   Out of the good friendship with Conan Doyle, after returning to school, Duke deliberately read all the works of this old gentleman, which is considered half a Sherlock Holmes fan.

   Hearing this, Lu Li asked in a guiding tone: "What about character, how many friends do you have?"

   "Indifferent, withdrawn, refuses to disclose his achievements to others, not keen on making friends, but cherishes the friendships already gained."

   After finishing speaking, Duke has already understood that if they deliberately move in, not only will it fail to achieve the purpose, but it will be counterproductive.

   "So ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ we don't need to deliberately build relationships." Lu Liyi pointed out.

   It's a pity that Duke didn't understand, and he muttered: "Ah, this is the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes. It would be a shame to miss it..."

   Lu Li had a headache.

   "Like the Tully Street Fire, such a high-profile case, do you think that Holmes will not be involved?"

   "Furthermore, Holmes may not be invited to Scotland Yard? After we take over the case, there will be no chance to work together..."

   "Yes! Talented people attract each other."

   Mi Gao, who was busy in the kitchen, heard the exaggerated laughter of Mr. Lu’s poor relatives in the countryside.

at the same time.

   Pan Ming, who was in a state of losing contact, wiped the sweat from his forehead. He has been busy recently, and he didn't even have time to go out.

   "Tomorrow...no, I will go to the newspaper the day after tomorrow, Lu Li and Duke should be waiting in a hurry."

   This is an old street facing the city wall. Due to the height of the city wall, even if the weather is good, this place looks deserted.

  Especially the strange behavior of the homeowner, which caused the neighbors to dare not come to visit. Gradually, it became a taboo place, which can make children stop crying.
