Chapter 108 The Secret Conversation
There is a circle of townhouses on William Road in the east of Regent's Park. They are rented in the name of the church, but in fact, this is a purification institute jointly established by Regent's Park and the church.

This purification research institute is currently the largest purification research institute in the world. There are as many as a hundred researchers in it, covering various disciplines, including extraordinary people and ordinary people.

These outstanding scholars and extraordinary people are here to constantly challenge the limits of the imagination of the theological world and the scientific world. They blend the boundaries between science, mysticism and theology, and use almost deviant ideas to develop and research about purification. Ritual possibility.

The holy water spray that Di Renjie used in the Vasili clinic was the result of the research here.

As far as the entire research and development process is concerned, the priest of the church will firstly produce the holy water stock solution; then the priest will continue to experiment and mix the best ratio with excellent reagent experimenters; finally, chemical scientists and material scientists will develop a loadable container , and various shooting devices and weapons.

The whole process can be said to be both scientific and unscientific, both theological and non-theological.

However, in addition to research and development work, several purification workshops have also been built in this purification research institute.This kind of purification workshop is equipped with a fully enclosed, all-round, no dead angle, and recyclable holy water atomization system. This atomization system can maximize the reuse of holy water and is the first choice for large-scale purification ceremonies.

At this moment, many suspected contaminated items transported from the fort area and its surrounding areas were neatly stacked on the shelves in the center of the workshop.

When the shelves were completely filled, several staff members in protective suits came to check them. After confirming that they were correct, several staff members walked outside the workshop, turned the metal valve, and sealed the workshop door.

Then, a staff member pulled the knife, and a large amount of holy water fell from the workshop like smoke. Through the colorless isolation glass installed on the workshop wall in advance, the staff outside the workshop can clearly see Are there signs of a collision of two supernatural forces taking place inside the workshop.

After 5 minutes, it was confirmed that there was no abnormality. A staff member pushed the knife back to its original position, while another staff member wrote in his notebook: [This batch is free from pollution. 】

"It seems that there is only a problem with the batch of salicylic acid sent by the chemical factory." Seeing the end of the work, several staff members chatted outside the workshop.

"It should be like this, but I don't know. After all, it is the work of the sampling and testing laboratory. Our side is only responsible for external purification." Another staff member took over the conversation.

"In short, the problem is not big, this is a blessing in misfortune."

Regent's Park, drawing room.

The powerful force emanating from Mycroft sealed off the entire room.

"Sorry, I just think that the next conversation needs to be highly confidential." Mycroft said in a slightly low voice.

"It seems that we are not the only ones who discovered the problem." Di Renjie and Sherlock looked at each other thoughtfully.

Mycroft nodded, pondered for two seconds, and then said slowly:
"About three years ago, when I was investigating a robbery case, I found a trace of incongruity in the evidence. This incongruity could faintly point out that behind the seemingly simple robbery case, there seemed to be a larger force behind it. The criminal forces are related, but this speculation is inconsistent with the judgment of the head of the National Security Council at the time, so it has not been taken seriously." Speaking of this, McCoff smiled a little self-deprecatingly:

"After all, I was not born to sit in this position. At that time, I was only the assistant director of the Bureau of Secrecy. Although I had already shown signs of promotion at that time, before I took that position, the things I could influence, after all, limited."

"In short, the case at that time was finally closed with the expected result, and no deeper content was discovered." As if recalling some past encounters, Mycroft stretched out his right hand and rubbed it slightly. Between my brows:

"If this is the case, then this case may not have attracted much attention from me. After all, it seems to be just a negligence, and although the evidence at that time made me feel strange and incongruous, I must admit, At that moment, I couldn't find a more direct anomaly until later."

"It was not until a few months later that I formally took over as the director of the Secrecy Bureau." Mycroft said in a complicated and melancholy tone: "Out of a certain curiosity and a sense of responsibility, I called up the evidence and files of this case again. , thinking to sort out the case again according to my previous guess, but something unexpected happened."

"What accident?" Both Di Renjie and Sherlock couldn't hide their curiosity.

"That incongruity disappeared." Mycroft looked at the two with very serious eyes and said, "It completely disappeared, as if this incongruity never existed before."

Both Di Renjie and Sherlock fell into silence, and they didn't foolishly ask something like "Is it possible that you just misremembered?"

Because the person who said this was Mycroft, they believed in each other's position as well as their abilities.

"It means that the other party has the ability to deeply affect the Security Bureau and even the entire British security system." Di Renjie let out a sigh of relief. This situation reminded him of his previous experience of dealing with snake spirits and plum blossom guards.

According to the experience of his previous life, he pondered for a moment and put forward his own suggestion: "If this is the case, we'd better not let them notice that we noticed them."

"That's why I want to seal off this area. At present, this is the safest way to keep secret." McCoff nodded, expressing his approval of Di Renjie's suggestion.

"Do you have any potential suspects? Frankly speaking, I think that if this is to be done, the other party must have a lot of energy and influence." Sherlock asked.

"I have a rough list of suspects, but the candidates on this list are all from the top leaders of the two parties, the royal family, the powerhouses of the extraordinary world, and big capitalists. Therefore, it is very difficult to actually exclude them. In addition, sometimes, we must also admit that these Some not-so-clean things are more or less involved behind the big shots, so so far, this investigation has been very difficult." Mycroft let out a sigh of relief, and confessed to the two:
"In addition, I also conducted several internal investigations on the National Security Council, Scotland Yard and the Bureau of Secrets. I did find out some insiders and traitors, but I never caught the tail of that force."

"I once doubted Lord Disraeli. After all, as you said, there are many suspicious aspects in the case of the lost crown. And that kind of method also brought me a familiar feeling. But it's like we all As we know, the former Prime Minister has passed away." Mycoff's narration stopped here, and the three fell into an unspeakable silence, and everyone was deep in thought.

"In short, in the current situation, it is unlikely that I will personally investigate the truth. After all, as you said, Watson, we need to hide it from the other party's eyes as much as possible. So..."

Mycroft was interrupted by Sherlock in the middle of his words, and then he saw Sherlock stand up abruptly, and said to himself: "Then leave it to us, John can use the White Tower to justify his name." In addition, when he took office as a new official, even if he came to the front line in person, he would only be considered as trying to establish his prestige; and I am a senior detective who likes to investigate cases, no matter how much experience I put into a case, It wouldn't be weird either."

"If that's the case, it would be great." Mycroft stood up, and shook hands seriously and solemnly with Di Renjie and Sherlock who also stood up.

"I hope to hear good news from you, and Mr. Watson, please don't forget about the press conference."
