Chapter 30
Alcohol is the best catalyst for friendship, not to mention a life-and-death battle friendship, not to mention the longing and admiration mixed in it-Nello used to worship Watson like a god!

Now that God fell into the world, he didn't gloat and stand by, but only wanted to do his best to help, even if he leaked the address of the headquarters of the sect without the permission of the leader.

Watson can also feel the simplicity and kindness of this former subordinate, but he can't reveal his true situation yet. He can only express his inner apology by raising his glass of wine, and everything is in the wine.

At noon, before the first guests arrived, the two were already drunk, their eyes blurred, their faces flushed, and their steps frivolous.

A once-disabled able-bodied person, and a healthy person pretending to be disabled, put their arms around each other's shoulders, exhaled malt-flavored wine, left their contact information and address, and shouted to meet again next time, and next time we must have a good time with you Have a drink, drink him until the sky is dark, drink him until you get drunk!
Watson urged the taxi driver to deliver his friend safely, and took out a pound with a face value far exceeding the cost of the ride and stuffed it into the other party's hand.

Under the power of money, the taxi driver repeatedly said yes, patted his chest and promised loudly, don't worry!Leave your friend to me, even if the car rolls over, I will hug him tightly, so as not to hurt even a hair on him!

Only then did Watson watch the carriage leave with satisfaction, and when the rear of the carriage disappeared around the corner at the end of the street... His bewildered eyes immediately regained clarity.

"St. Athene's Hospital..."

He murmured, there is still a mysterious doctor with profound medical skills in this abandoned hospital that has been closed down for a long time... who can solve suspicious diseases that modern medicine is powerless to do, but hides in such a place that is obviously related to the hidden world The place.

It was hard for Watson to believe that the other party was just a simple mortal with superb medical skills.

"Looks like I'm going to be busy recently..."

He shook his head and sighed softly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up... Interesting, these days are really getting more and more interesting!

Watson thought to himself, is Holmes trying to track down clues to mysterious events recently, or is he trying to investigate himself?

With doubts about the female detective, he walked slowly back to 221B Baker Street.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the detective agency was deserted, not to mention the customers who requested consultation, and even Victor's carriage was missing.

"Has Holmes gone out to investigate the case?"

Watson took out the key and opened the door, and saw that the furnishings in the house were still the same, but the furniture and the floor were covered with a thin layer of dust, and it seemed that no one had entered or exited during the time he was away.

This actually made him a little surprised, Holmes would not come to the detective agency for a long time? !This doesn't seem like her character. Did she encounter some new, interesting and difficult cases?
………………

Charlotte Holmes was hiding in a room on the top floor of a long-abandoned old house at the moment. Her gaze fell through the glass of the telescope tube, bypassed the dusty curtain rags used as a cover, and fell to the place not far away. The room should also be an abandoned dilapidated factory.

Kate & Herlo Ltd. - This was the former owner of the dilapidated factory building across the street.

Since the bombing that claimed the lives of two of its owners, it has been classified as an ominous place, despised and loathed by the real estate industry, reduced to a collapsing shell beside a rotting river.

But recently, a group of unknown people who came from nowhere has occupied this place.

They seem to be a secret group with financial support, working together to remove the broken industrial machines that stand silently like corpses, transport a large number of steel bars to serve as new skeletons, and fill those shocking cracks and disintegrated walls with bricks, stones and cement. Restoring crumbling ruins to solidity.

The large holes in the roof were filled with thick canvas to shelter from wind and rain, and the broken windows were covered with dark shutters to drive away the crows and mice that inhabited them, so that the workshops with light and air leakage on all sides were once again hidden in darkness.

Charlotte once again saw the familiar figure in the lens tube. The other person did not appear here often, but every time he entered and exited, he could see the respectful attitude of the rest of the people to him. It should be this group of people the leader.

And this time, the person appeared in a state of anxiety. Even though the other person was wearing a wide-brimmed tall hat, and his facial features were hidden in the shadows under the brim, Holmes could still feel the burning emotion from the hasty pace of the other person who had lost his sense of proportion.

Reminiscent of the slightly muffled noise like an explosion that came from the factory building just now, the female detective deduced that there must have been some kind of unexpected situation that other people could not solve, so that the leader had to rush over in person a trip.

She glanced at the watch on her left wrist, the hour hand had just passed Ⅻ not far away, and the minute hand barely reached Ⅵ.

Charlotte wrote in her notebook:

"Wednesday, at 31:[-], Target No. [-] appeared again. This is the first time that the target has been observed appearing in daylight, and it is suspected that it came to deal with the sudden explosion."

After thinking for a while, she continued to write on the paper:

"The target came in a hurry this time. Although he put on a fat windbreaker, I still found that the target was wearing a shirt and suit with simple design but comfortable fabric, and a pair of hand-made Oxford leather shoes under his feet... Demonstrate that the target is likely to have a decent, legitimate mid-paying career, perhaps a mid-to-senior management position in a large company."

"Combined with the current time point, it is inferred that it is the lunch break of some labor law-compliant enterprises in London. The target can reach such a remote river bank within half an hour, which proves that the target's commuting distance should be within a radius of eight kilometers."

Charlotte stopped writing and turned to the previous page, which summarized the target information she had collected in the past few days.

[Target No. [-] (suspected to be the leader of a secret society)]

[Gender: Male (doubtful, never witnessed the real face, only inferred from clothing style and skeleton outline)]

[Height: about five feet seven inches (170 cm)]

[Body shape: Medium to thin, weighing about 140 pounds (65 kg)]

[Behavior pattern: They usually appear at night after ten o'clock in the afternoon, do not take transportation, or get off the car early and walk here just to hide their whereabouts.Will leave as soon as the sun rises. 】

[Behavioral pattern 2: Has the habit of smoking, and has witnessed the other party appearing outside the house to smoke with other people in the middle of the night. 】

[Behavior pattern 3: Empty]

The female detective copied the important clues she had just obtained on the previous page, and then she let out a long sigh of relief. She bent her arms behind her head and stretched her neck back. The bones in her shoulders and back were rusty after a long time. sound.

"It's almost there. Next, we only need to draw out the companies within an eight-kilometer radius of the abandoned factory, collect the characteristic information of the middle and high-level managers and compare them one by one, and then we can get the specific identity of the No. [-] target."

"As long as the identity of the suspect is confirmed, it is easy to collect evidence of evil names."

"At that time, this secret society that calls itself the Order of the Shining Blade will be destroyed by itself!"
