Chapter 186 I Can Finally Sleep Well
Speaking of this, Sherlock's frowning brows suddenly became clear.

He looked at the woman in front of him in surprise, and then realized that he had been surprised by her too many times this night.

"Dr. Franklin's initial experimental funding, you gave it?"

"Of course, I spent money to build his entire laboratory." Irene said with a smile: "Since the investment has been made, there must be some return. If Mr. Franklin can really sit in that chair this time, then I will It’s barely worth it.”

Sherlock felt that his concept of money still needed to be deepened.

To become the emperor of the empire, this kind of thing is just "not too much loss" in Irene's mouth. Then how much did she invest in the other party?

Fortunately, Irene did not continue to refresh Sherlock's perception of money with those terrifying numbers, but finally showed some worry:

"But here, there's not much I can do to help. I've been investigating the old professor's death, otherwise I wouldn't have found the name [Duncan].

However, until now, I have not had any new progress. "

Sherlock nodded, and at the same time couldn't help sighing, if even Irene couldn't find more clues, it means that experimenter No. 37 was deliberately hidden, and it was hidden very deeply. .In this era when information preservation is limited to writing, and audio transmission is only through gramophones, if someone really wants to bury a piece of the past through professional means, it only takes one year. What he hides is likely to be In the true sense, it will never see the light of day again.

Both Sherlock and Irene obviously understood this, so they were silent for a while in the small villa.

Suddenly.
"Bell~Bell~Bell~"

A phone rang, and Irene looked at the phone hanging on the wall in a daze, then got up and walked over, putting the receiver in front of her ear: "."

She didn't make a sound, just listened quietly, not knowing what was said on the other side of the phone, her beautiful lips were slightly pursed, and her expression seemed to be a little heavy. A few seconds later, Without saying a word, she hung up the phone again.

Then, looking at Sherlock slightly sober:
"Finally, Vice President Hulk has heard something. Speaking of which, the old guy isn't too stupid after all. One bad news, one worse news, which one do you want to hear first?"

"Bad."

"The group of people who chased you today should have been regarded as cannon fodder by him a long time ago. Anyway, from the beginning, he didn't expect those people to come back, so not long after the group of guys set off, the administrative state The Supreme Court received an anonymous phone call, saying that there will be an extremely vicious murder near the No. 11 Bridge of the Academy of Sciences today."

Sherlock nodded, and didn't seem to have much reaction. There are generally two ways to use cannon fodder. First, let them go all out; One threatens the other with one's own death.

This kind of measurement used by underground gangsters in London is very shameless, but it is easy to use. Sherlock is not surprised by this.

"Worse?"

"Deputy Dean Hulk has used some method to convince 11 newspapers except the Holy Journal that he wants to bypass the deceased's immediate family and forcefully announce the old dean's death to the public.

If I guess correctly, a large number of journalists will soon be invited to the Academy of Life Sciences.

This old guy seemed to be in a sudden panic. This kind of death declaration regardless of his care would not be officially recognized, but once public opinion was spilled, it would be difficult to take it back.

At that time. If there is no way to prove that the old dean died of murder.

That's all of what we just said.

It's very likely that you won't be able to get it back. "

Hearing this, Sherlock finally showed a trace of caution on his face. After thinking for a while, he asked lightly:
"How long do I have?"

Irene looked at the clock on the wall: "If I'm not wrong, there are still five hours at most."

The Empire is very strict about the death of the upper class of society.

Because it involves the distribution of various inheritances, the inheritance of noble status, and even the continuation of some kind of glory in the Holy See, etc.

In short, it is impossible for an outsider to shout about someone's death, so everyone really thinks that person is dead, so Hulk's behavior is very unruly.

It stands to reason that it is impossible for any newspaper to obey his request and publish the news of the old dean's death. There must be a pair of big hands behind this situation.

In short, the collective reports of a full 11 publications will definitely cause an uproar on that day. The people of the empire are blind. They can't even take care of their own one-third of an acre of land all day long. Conspiracy calculations.

So what to write. is what.
On the top floor of the main experimental area of ​​the School of Life Sciences, Vice President Hulk put down his teacup contentedly.

Looking at the factory area lined up below, and those intertwined patches of shining street lamps, he finally let out a dusty smile.

Tomorrow morning, there will be a large number of reporters rushing in. At that time, as long as I announce this news, under the overwhelming public opinion, the living will be said to be dead, and the dead will be forever It is also impossible to turn over.

That Darwin guy died of a failed experiment was a given.

Vice President Hulk is very confident about this!

Because as early as a few years ago, he personally invited a young man named [Duncan] into his operating room.

Only three people knew about this matter from beginning to end.

One is myself, the other is Duncan himself, and the last one is my assistant who has been with me for 20 years!

And when he thought of that beautiful assistant who was not yet 40 years old, his heart darkened a little.

I have to say that she is a good girl who has been by her side since she graduated, and her extreme admiration for science also made her obsessed with herself naturally.

Even, regardless of the age gap, she was ready to resolutely marry herself, no, she didn't even need to get married, she just wanted to stay by her side forever.

However. I had to kill her in the end.

As I said just now, only three people know about Duncan.

Naturally, Duncan would never be able to speak, so as long as she died, this matter would be buried forever.

what's that girl's name
Well, the busyness of the past few years has made him forget the name that he has called for 20 years, but it is not important, think about how many people are unknown in this world, and how many people die every minute, so a young life The death of a person will promote the changes of the empire a few years later, so the death of this person has value.

Thinking of this, the smile on Vice President Hulk's face reappeared again, he turned and turned off the lights in the office, and then walked out.

No one can find Duncan, so no one can find the method and evidence for him to kill the old dean.

It will be light in a few hours, and everything is over, so take advantage of this time to take a little rest.

how many days.

Finally, I can sleep well.
