Chapter 258 Are you busy recently?
Sherlock is just an ordinary person.

He is not the kind of savior who sees the future of humanity as his duty.

He is not some kind of king with great talents.

He's not even a good person.
Lestrade, the director of Scotland Yard once commented on Sherlock, saying that he does not respect the law, has no humanity, has no grace, and disregards life. To a certain extent, he is worse than the criminals he captured. Evil, that is a lunatic who acts according to his own preferences!
And now, this lunatic has taken over a case.

Even though this case involves many things, such as human beings, the future, social structure, racial stability, etc., in Sherlock's eyes, it is a case, and everyone told him that this is a case.

Then it is absolutely impossible for him to accept the outcome of this case.

Irene looked at the man in front of her. As a businessman, what she believed most was her own eyesight. When she first met Sherlock, she dared to conclude that this man must be extraordinary. After that, what Sherlock showed His ability is indeed amazing, even stronger than she initially imagined.

This man made her admire, and it could even be said that she was a little bit obsessed with.

But at this moment, she felt inexplicably afraid because of the other party's words:

"what are you going to do?"

Erin couldn't help but ask.

And Sherlock just responded lightly: "Of course the case is closed."

"The case is closed."

"No, a murderer was acquitted, and everyone regards him as a hero. Even after Emperor Augustine abdicated, the public's admiration was higher than during his reign. This is not a case closure, but a transaction. "

"This deal is good for everyone." Irene seemed a little nervous, she put down her glass, took a step forward and approached Sherlock: "This is the best ending, you are the smartest person in the world, you should You can understand, right?"

There seemed to be a slight hint of 'pleasure' in her tone.

However, Sherlock just smiled apologetically and shook his head: "Whether this ending is good or not depends on who Moriarty wants to pull the emperor from the throne and elect a new king to power, and now he has got his wish; To popularize new energy, and thus to expand your investment area, has come true.”

Saying that, Sherlock looked at the crowd below, those happy, joyful people who were tasting the fruits of the harvest:
"These people are very happy because they have their own expectations, and at this moment, their expectations have been fulfilled, whether it is wealth, power, or anything else, it can be seen that they are very happy.
All of you got what you wanted, and for you, this is of course the best ending.

what about me? "

Sherlock's words seemed to be asking Irene, but more seemed to be asking himself, so after a moment of silence, he shook his head:

"I haven't gotten my wish yet.

In fact, my wish is the least, I just want to let this case have a proper ending.

I'm not a hero, I don't have those great moods of pity, and I'm not waving the flag for the people who died in that disaster.

I just want to close the case.

Debts must be paid back, and murderers must be paid with their lives. This is the simplest and most basic way to close a case. Crimes cannot be whitewashed as great sacrifices. What the murderer did must be made public.

If you can't let me do it.

Then I will do it myself."

After saying that, Sherlock was very satisfied with his words, as if he had finally found a good channel to express his feelings. He grinned, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute." Irene grabbed Sherlock's hand.

She seemed to know what the man in front of her wanted to do, but she thought it was absurd and scary, so she subconsciously wanted to stop it.

However.
"I know you are worried about me, thank you, but you can't stop me." Sherlock comforted: "Of course, you can let your follower try, but with all due respect, if a few Months ago, when we first met, he might have kept me here, but now, he can hold me back for at most 5 minutes, so don't waste time." After finishing speaking, he gently pulled out Irene's hand holding his Hand, pushed open the door of the room, and walked out.

Only Irene Adler was left alone.
This woman should be respected by the trial court, this woman who can personally accept the personal friendship with the holy son of the Holy See, this woman who secretly has a huge information network and countless unknown properties, at this moment, she seems a little lost.

At this time, the door of the room was pushed open again, and her entourage 'Godfrey' walked in, standing outside the door and looking at her master worriedly.

"Miss, what do I need to do?"

This professional assassin who once assassinated more than 30 second-tier priests by virtue of his identity as a human being actually felt it now that he might not be able to keep that man named Sherlock, but as long as his master said something, he would I am willing to risk my life for it.

However, Irene just sat on a chair and shook her head silently, she knew it was meaningless.

After a few more minutes like this, she finally spoke slowly:

"Contact everyone who can influence Sherlock, whether it's useful or not, you have to try."

Moriarty set up the exchange reception after the inheritance ceremony next to the Thames River just to be closer to Sherlock. This was also a way for him to express his gratitude to Sherlock.

Of course, this is not all thanks. Sherlock played a vital role in this series of events. If he hadn't cracked the Darwin murder case, then the current dean of the School of Life Sciences would already be Professor Holker. As a result, the controllable experiment of wild demons will basically not be carried out normally, let alone show the success of this experiment to the world within two months, and gain the approval of the entire empire. In short, it can be said that without Sherlock, there would be no Everything today.

Therefore, Sherlock will definitely receive an extremely generous gift from His Royal Highness, the gift is enough for him to complete the leap of the class, and even directly obtain the lofty status and noble status, not only for himself, but also for his Future generations will also have a better life that is admittedly unattainable.

It was just because Moriarty was too busy these days, so he didn't spare time to personally deliver this thank you gift to Sherlock.

But he never imagined that what deserves his attention now is no longer a thank you gift.
At night, London, an ancient but advanced city, is still immersed in a festive and peaceful atmosphere.

At 7:30, the gas pipeline was removed for the first time along the riverside street under Big Ben, and some wires were connected to the street lights on both sides. Under the slight operation of the generator, the entire river bank was nearly three The kilometer-long area was brightly lit for an instant.

This is a rare energy source such as electricity that has been connected to civilian facilities on a large scale, so looking at the light source that is several times brighter than gas lamps, the citizens of London are extremely excited. They began to admire the greatness of technology. At the same time, The mayor of London also announced to the excited people under these lights that within the next year, generators will be popularized in every main street in London, and by then, London at night will be like daytime.

A scene like this is happening in almost all political districts. The administrators in some urban areas can't control the surprise in their hearts and announce to the workers in advance that if the factory introduces electric machinery, the production efficiency will increase by three times compared to before. Above, the output value will naturally increase, and consequently, the wages of all positions will also increase.

In the report of the Holy Journal, there was speculation about the popularization of electricity, but that was just a "big pie" that had not been confirmed. The people of the empire never imagined that all this came so fast and so suddenly.

As a result, the entire empire was cheering and jumping for joy.

And in an apartment building on Baker Street, Sherlock knocked on the door of a room on the first floor.

Watson came back early today, so he opened the door, looked at Sherlock and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Are you busy recently?"

"It's still free."

"How about going to kill someone with me?"

"Okay."

The two of them talked casually like this, as if it was the most ordinary chat.

And at this moment.
"Bell~Bell~Bell~"

The phone rang for a while.
