Chapter 259 Everyone Is Persuading
Watson frowned slightly.

In this world, he doesn't have many friends anymore, if he had to say one, it would be Sherlock standing at the door right now.

Moreover, very few people know that he lives here.

So who's going to call?

He walked over, picked up the phone, spoke briefly to the person inside, and then handed the phone in the direction of Sherlock:

"Looking for you."

Sherlock walked into the room, took the phone and put it to his ear. He couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard Director Lestrade's voice coming from inside.

"I said, what the hell are you doing recently, kid? Did you provoke some big shots?"

Director Lestrade certainly didn't know what Sherlock had been doing for more than half a year. He just felt that the other party hadn't come to the police station for a long time, which made him less troubled. In fact, he had been Looking forward, it would be nice if Sherlock never showed up again.

But he never thought that just now, he received a phone call, and the other end of the phone was the highest official of the Ministry of Justice of the Empire, which was a top-level existence that he couldn't even imagine.

However, the leader of the Justice Bureau showed an extremely obvious kindness to Lestrade on the phone, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years, and even the other party's words contained a hint of kindness. With a hint of request, he wanted Lestrade to do him a favor.

That is, let him try to see if he can get a detective named 'Sherlock Holmes' to be quiet for the time being and not make any big noise in the next few months.

Lestrade was confused. He didn't know how Sherlock got involved with the leader of the Justice Bureau, but the other party assured him that if this matter was settled, he would most likely be transferred to the Imperial Justice Bureau. .

How could Director Lestrade miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so he immediately called Sherlock.

"I said brother, I don't care what you are going to do, but we have known each other for some years, can you save me and be quiet for a while?"

Sherlock smiled, and then said apologetically: "I'm sorry, if it was other busy work, that would be fine, but I have something very important to do recently."

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"In a few days you'll read it in the papers, and now, trust me, you won't want to know."

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

Watson is not an idiot, so he was keenly aware of something, looked at Sherlock with more interest, and asked, "Who do you want to kill?"

"Emperor Augustine." Shylock responded directly.

Watson's slightly squinted eyes seemed to be slowly widening. In fact, he should have thought of this answer a long time ago. According to Sherlock's personality, it is absolutely impossible for him to accept the current situation.

but to kill an emperor of an empire
Oh no, that person is no longer the emperor, but when Sherlock said these words himself, Watson's heart, which had an extremely strong ability to accept, still beat violently.

"You are really crazy."

After Sherlock heard this comment, instead of refuting or being annoyed, he smiled and said, "How about it, do you think my friend is not in vain?"

"Of course!" Watson nodded, "It's a great honor not to forget to call me for this kind of thing." No one knows what Watson thinks. In the faint smile, it seems that there is a real joy and excitement from the bottom of my heart.

Although Augustine is no longer the emperor, no one really thinks that he has become a commoner after taking off his crown, so Lestrade's phone call is definitely just the beginning.

Sure enough, in the early morning of the next day, another phone rang.

This time it was Catherine who called.

The meaning expressed by this eldest lady is also very clear. The person who killed his father has been punished, and the successful demonstration of the experiment has also rectified Professor Darwin's name. If his father Izumi knew this, he must have been satisfied. As for The old man who had taken off his brocade clothes actually wouldn't live long if he didn't kill him, so there was no need to be so decisive.

Sherlock listened to the other party's words carefully, then chatted briefly for a few words, and finally hung up.

The next caller was Hopkins. He told Sherlock very sincerely that although the newspaper said that he and the third division of the trial court he belonged to were all punished, but that was just a formality in performance, and Their group of people did not receive any punishment at all, and even on the contrary, they received some unscrupulous awards. If it goes well, they will be promoted to law enforcement officers next year.

Sherlock congratulated Hopkins on his career, and then buttoned up the microphone without listening to the other person's next words.

The time came to noon, and a very eye-catching motorcade appeared on Baker Street, with pure white nun uniforms, a white horse, a carriage that perfectly combined gorgeousness and solemnity, and the followers behind the carriage. Dozens of clergymen all showed the identity of the owner of this car.

Under normal circumstances, when these people appear in the urban area, they must cover up to a certain extent. After all, no matter how noble their status is, they don't want to be noticed wherever they go, and then they kneel down along the way with the most surprised expressions. .

But this time, the group of people was in a hurry, and it seemed that they had rushed over overnight from a place not close by. They traveled all the way until they stopped in front of the door of No. 221B.

Immediately afterwards, amid the worship of countless people along the way, Her Royal Highness the Holy Lady quickly got off the carriage. She didn't even have time to change out of her gorgeous and dazzling dress. She held it with her hands and knocked on the door of the roadside room in a panic. .

No one knows why she is so nervous, let alone what kind of person lives in No. 221B, which can make His Royal Highness so panic. In short, the people around only saw that the person who opened the door seemed to be just an ordinary-looking person. man.

On the other hand, Her Royal Highness completely ignored the gazes of the people around her, and did not wait for the servants to dismiss the people around her. Instead of waiting for a second, she said excitedly, "Don't go. Please."

It was just a few simple words, but when people who were close heard it, their expressions were as if they had woken up early and seen the blue sun outside the window, and they were completely confused.

And the man inside the door seemed to be okay, stepped aside, and made a gesture of invitation: "I knew you would come, come and sit first, after all, you are going back to your own home."

Just like that, Her Royal Highness the Saint walked into the door, and then the door closed with a click, leaving only the stunned people all over the street, looking at the store they usually passed by on their way to work with incredible eyes. In a humble apartment, I don’t know what expression I should put on.

Of course, this is actually not the most incomprehensible thing.

Because just a few hours later, at 6:[-] pm, at sunset, the sunset is at its most brilliant.

An airship slowly descended from the sky in an extremely unreasonable way.

With the huge roar of the turbine and the terrifying wind pressure, it seemed to block out the sky and the sun, and landed abruptly at the intersection of Baker Street, blocking all traffic!
Immediately, a maid followed His Highness the Son off the airship, and went straight to the door of No. 221B Baker Street, knocking on the door with some anger and urgency.

"Sherlock! Come out!"
