In the days after Mr. Disraeli's funeral, Di Renjie was busy dealing with the finishing work of the clinic poisoning case.

Fortunately, everything was handled in a timely manner. Whether it was the interception and disinfection of contaminated products, or the administration of various antidotes to the hospital, good results have been achieved.

On the one hand, these measures have brought a good reputation to the new department of the White Tower, and on the other hand, they have given Di Renjie a new round of publicity through the spread of newspapers.

Affected by this, his soul room has been continuously producing the radiance of creation at a relatively considerable speed recently.With the help of these colorful brilliance, his total spiritual power has reached 2.6 times, which can be regarded as a surprise.

In addition to these, Di Renjie also issued a compensation for Julie and Anne's family; as for the assistant doctor Toledo, because he provided a lot of help in handling the case, he not only received a compensation, but also received He received a bonus jointly issued by Scotland Yard and the White Tower, which solved the urgent need for him who had just lost his job.

In this era, medical students are undoubtedly high-end talents, so Toledo is not worried about finding a job.

In short, from the perspective of the government and all walks of life, although the poisoning case in the clinic had caused certain social impacts, it was resolved quickly and effectively, which gave Baita and Di Renjie a reliable reputation in the civil service system.

As for Di Renjie, Sherlock, and McCoff's speculation about the truth behind the case, they can only do it secretly for the time being.

In addition to the poisoning case in the clinic, with the efforts of the Information Statistics Department and the Tactical Mobility Department, the White Tower has also dealt with nearly double-digit cases in a timely manner in the past few days. Although these cases do not involve extraordinary power, they all have a relatively large social impact. power and potential hazards.

After successfully handling the special cases one after another, both the White Tower and the National Security Affairs Committee have given a very high evaluation of the special case management mechanism that Di Renjie set out to establish.

Any security system can only be called mature after a real test, and the system established by Di Renjie took less than 20 days from birth to maturity.

Compared with Di Renjie's smooth progress, Sherlock's investigation has encountered many difficulties from the very beginning.

It may be that when Vasily communicated with the other party, he had other methods of close contact, which made the description of the meeting place in the letters between the two parties only stay at a vague and huge destination like Helot Cemetery. , without specifying a specific location, which forced Sherlock to start from scratch.

In addition, some characteristics of Helot Cemetery itself also brought him a lot of trouble.

First of all, Hailot Cemetery is a particularly large public cemetery, divided into two parts, east and west, with a combined area of ​​15 hectares;

Secondly, there are dense forests everywhere in the cemetery, and many burial chambers are even mixed with the woodland, which adds many hidden dead corners inside the cemetery. If you want to find out the specific situation in these blind corners, Sherlock must get close and explore carefully;
In the end, many buildings were built in the cemetery, including several Tudor-style churches and buildings imitating the famous Valley of the Kings in ancient Egypt, which made the environment in the cemetery more complicated.

"Maybe you can try to change your mind." Di Renjie pushed the white sugar on hand to Sherlock, and then used a small metal spoon to stir it in his coffee cup twice.

"Try for a few more days. If there are really no new clues, I have to try to see if there is another way to break the situation." Sherlock took the sugar absent-mindedly, but accidentally poured all the sugar into the bottle. in his coffee.

"Oh, an epic disaster, Sherlock." Di Renjie began to worry about the mental state of his good friend:

"Maybe you need to take a day off temporarily? There is another thing I need to tell you in advance. I received a letter from Mrs. Stubbs yesterday. The next academic gathering is about to start, and the time is set for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow. Because the venue is still the same as last time, it is still in the Thomas Manor, so Mrs. Stubbs hopes that you can also attend at that time, and Mr. Thomas also hopes to meet you at this party. But I don’t know Is it suitable for you to go to the party in your current state?"

"Relax John, it's okay, I'll go with you when the time comes, and now my brain just needs more sugar." Sherlock said without giving Di Renjie a chance to interject, and directly swallowed the whole cup full of sugar I drank my coffee.

After drinking, his expression became a little stiff.

"How is it? Is the taste okay?" Di Renjie looked at Sherlock with some helplessness and some amusement.

"Not bad, by the way John, do you have water here?"

The buildings here are uneven, ranging from gorgeous theaters to dilapidated hotels; from luxurious restaurants to gloomy casinos.The undulating skyline has become a poor metaphor for ordinary life in this dreamlike era.

Life here is full of joys and sorrows, and wonderful performances and desperate sufferings are always staged together.But whether it’s sadness or joy, when the sun shines on people the next morning, they still need to be exhausted from a hangover, wearing old clothes that still have the smell of powder, mixed with perfume and sweat, and start anew. Into the torrent of this steamy busy age.

This is Soho in London.
