Chapter 112 Nostalgia and Doubt

According to the custom at this time, after completing the ceremony in the church, everyone needs to follow the priest and other ceremonial personnel to the cemetery where Mr. Disraeli's body is buried.

Walking in the funeral procession, Sherlock suddenly poked Di Renjie's arm with his elbow.Di Renjie immediately understood, he turned his head, and saw Sherlock lowering his head, while signaling him to look to the front right of the team with his eyes.

"That's it? Lord Lawton." Di Renjie immediately recognized the other party's identity.

"That's right, speaking of which, we haven't seen him for a long time. When Mr. Disraeli passed away, he seemed to be recuperating in Algeria." Sherlock leaned his head closer and whispered to Di Renjie.

"I seem to have heard of such a thing." Di Renjie nodded in agreement, but he didn't know why Sherlock wanted to pay attention to Lawton, so he looked at Sherlock suspiciously:
"Is there something wrong with him?"

"I didn't notice the abnormality at first, but after learning that Mr. Disraeli was behind the case of the missing crown, I thought about the day that Lawton went to Algeria for vacation, which happened to be the day when the crown was lost, so I thought about it." made a bold guess." Sherlock stared ahead, moved his mouth slightly, and shared his views with Di Renjie in a low voice.

Sherlock's words caused Di Renjie to be curious and pay attention to Lawton, so he raised his head and carefully looked at the back of the man in front of him for a few eyes.

For some reason, the man just walked in front with his head bowed silently, but it gave Di Renjie a strong sense of danger.

That dark figure should have been very familiar, but at this moment it looked so strange.

Speaking of which, Di Renjie had contacted this Mr. Lord many times before, but maybe the other party had made a disguise at that time, and of course it might also be because the identities and status of the two parties were too different at that time. In short, Di Renjie didn't notice any obvious abnormalities at that time.

Today, Luo Dun gave Di Renjie a very different feeling.

"You're right, Sherlock." Di Renjie turned his head slightly and said to Sherlock after a few glances.

As he spoke, he fixed his eyes on the slowly walking figure in front of him. At this moment, before he even finished his last sentence, the figure in front suddenly turned his head and met Di Renjie's gaze. superior.

Di Renjie's heart skipped a beat.

After noticing Di Renjie's gaze on him, Lord Lawton showed Di Renjie a polite smile. At the moment of this smile, the figure that Di Renjie noticed before that made him feel dangerous disappeared suddenly, replaced by a polite man. Gentle and friendly gentleman.

So Di Renjie also showed a kind smile, and nodded to Luo Dun.

[Such a keen perception. ] Di Renjie was secretly startled.

After sending the coffin to the cemetery where they were scheduled to be buried, everyone presented the wreaths they had prepared in advance one by one.

In this link, all relatives and friends who come will say their last farewell words to the deceased under the guidance of the pastor.Di Renjie and Sherlock were not very familiar with Mr. Disraeli's relationship, so it was not surprising that both of them only said one or two more standard farewell words.

But to everyone's surprise, as Mr. Disraeli's daughter, Angelina's farewell words were also extremely simple.

This is somewhat intriguing.

Of course, as the family members of the deceased, others have nothing to say.

After almost everyone had seen off, the priest prepared to bury Mr. Disraeli's body.

But at this moment, a high-speed carriage came around the cemetery, disrupting the entire ceremony.

Everyone cast their eyes in surprise.

Under the attention of everyone, a well-dressed middle-aged man alighted from the late carriage. Since most of the relatives and friends present were either rich or expensive, almost everyone except a few people saw him at a glance. The man was identified.

Henry Ponsonby, First Secretary to the Imperial Household.

When Mr. Henry got off the carriage, he brought a bouquet of white flowers. He nodded to everyone, and then passed through the crowd. Wherever he went, many relatives, friends and guests present silently cheered He made a way out.

He walked through the aisle and solemnly placed the flowers in front of Disraeli's coffin.

Then he stood up, bowed slightly to the front, and said in a heavy tone:
"Dear Your Excellency Disraeli, on behalf of Her Majesty Victoria, I would like to extend my last regards to you.

"She will miss you forever."

On the return train, Di Renjie put the black top hat on the table, which made him feel a little more relaxed.Although it has been nearly two months since he came to this world, he is still not used to wearing this kind of heavy top hat.

"Sherlock, what are you going to do next?" Di Renjie put his top hat on and looked up at Sherlock who was sitting opposite.

"I'm going to conduct a detailed investigation of the Hilot Cemetery and Vasili's home." Hearing Di Renjie's words, Charlotte sat up slightly, obviously he was very concerned about this matter.

"Sherlock, speaking of it, you didn't explain in detail why you came to Helot Cemetery with suspicion. Now that you have some spare time, can you briefly talk about it?" Di Renjie asked curiously.

Talking about this, Sherlock immediately regained his spirits, and he said with a little joy: "In the beginning, I focused on the clues related to the poisoning case, but it may be because the degree of danger and importance of this case is very high, so Vasili initially The action was done very secretly, without leaving too many clues; of course, we cannot rule out that some of the clues were destroyed by the hidden behind-the-scenes forces.

"In short, following this direction to investigate, I have worked hard for a long time, but I have not gained much value. But then, I changed my mind and thought about it. If there is really another more mysterious and huge force behind Vasili If so, then their contact cannot happen suddenly, and there must be a very long running-in period.

"So I began to investigate in detail Vasili's various information from six months ago, a year ago or even a few years ago, and finally found a few valuable letters in an abandoned letter box. Among these letters, they all mentioned One place name is Haylot Cemetery. Of course they didn’t specify what to do at the cemetery in the letter, but a normal person obviously doesn’t go to the cemetery often, let alone make an appointment to meet at the cemetery with other people. Seeley's background has also been done to some extent, his parents are not in the mainland of Britain, and he has no brothers or sisters, and there is no relative buried in the Haylot Cemetery."

"Plus that the cemetery has always been rumored to be haunted, so you think there may be some secret there." Di Renjie followed Sherlock's logic and said.

"That's right." Sherlock snapped his fingers: "These are the reasons why I suspect Helot Cemetery."

"It makes sense, Sherlock. If you need it, I will do my best to support you, but I also hope that you will ensure your own safety during the investigation." Di Renjie said sincerely.

"Of course." Sherlock took out a brass-colored pocket watch from his jacket pocket, and smiled complacently: "My safety has always been guaranteed."
