Chapter 122 Chess Pieces

Inside the White Tower, Green Tower.

"You are playing chess again, Mr. Watson." Catherine arranged the chess pieces, and this time she held the black piece: "To be honest, your loss last time was not very good, I thought you would at least wait a few days, and wait for you to clear up your mood. Come back later."

Di Renjie touched his chin, and said with a cheeky smile: "For me, being able to play chess with a master like you is already a very pleasant thing."

"I don't have anything to do at all, so I'll play a few games with you." Catherine didn't say anything more, seeing that the chessboard was set, she stretched out her hand and made an invitation gesture to Di Renjie, signaling him to go first.

Di Renjie pushed a soldier forward without any hesitation.

"It's really a steady style of chess." Catherine didn't comment too much. She also pushed a chess piece of her own without hesitation. Then, the two fought silently on the chessboard.

After 20 minutes, the chess game entered the most tense stage, and both sides lost a lot of pieces.

"You have something on your mind, Mr. Watson." Catherine silently grabbed a knight and placed it in front of her: "General (check), you have to check."

Di Renjie reached out to grab another chess piece, and was about to take down Catherine's black knight, but he found that this would put his own chess piece in danger:

"It's nothing to talk about, just a little restless and irritable."

He was undecided, and he couldn't make a decision for a while.

"If you only have chess pieces in your eyes, then you will lose the whole game." Catherine said meaningfully.

"Not all chess games will put all the flags on the board." Di Renjie also said something pointedly, then he smiled again, put the chess pieces on one side of the board, and looked up at Catherine on the opposite side nun:

"River was born in a famous family. His grandfather was once in charge of the security system of the entire empire. Even Mycroft was his student, so he can be called a family background. In the last operation, many of his performances made him I was absolutely amazed."

"Are you talking about the actions tonight?" Although Catherine was in the Green Tower, it was impossible for her not to notice such a big movement in the White Tower.

"That's right. In addition, Sakaya is a very smart plain-clothes knight. She is very good at sneaking in; Harper is an excellent swordsman with strong frontal combat capabilities. As for Luisa, she is bold and cautious, so A sharpshooter is perfect as the back of the team." Di Renjie talked about the abilities and positioning of several key members of the team, and it seemed that such an expression could help him clear his mind.

"A very reasonable match." Catherine nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I also think it's reasonable, whether it's common sense or the past habits of the imperial security department, it's very reasonable." Di Renjie followed Catherine's words, and after he finished speaking, he looked up at the window, where the night was falling. Thick, you can't see the sky, and you can't see the distance.

Under Sherlock's leadership, the tomb where the suspicious person was hidden soon appeared in the sight of the crowd.

"Let me confirm with everyone again, are you really planning to charge directly?" Sherlock squatted in the shadow cast by a bush, and looked back at a group of members of the tactical mobility team following him.

"Don't worry, with our configuration, it is enough to deal with most of the dangers." River glanced at Sherlock, then turned to look at Harper, Luisa and Sakaya behind him.

There was a bit of hesitation on Sakaya's face. She knew that the order received by her group was to cooperate with Sherlock's advisor and complete the investigation process.This means that raiding into the tomb is not a task they have to perform.But as members of the security sector, they also have the right to make temporary judgments.

"If we just squatted at the edge of the grave, it would be difficult to get any valuable clues other than wasting our time all night. At most, we would follow them to get their addresses after they came out, let alone follow them. Whether it will be successful, and more importantly, we don't even know if they have only this one entrance." River looked at the several companions behind him, and tried hard to persuade them:
"And think about it, even if we contact the White Tower headquarters, the support we can get is just a few second-level companions. If we really encounter opponents beyond the second-level ability, then a few more of the same level Colleagues will not bring about any change in results; and if we will not encounter such opponents, what else can they do besides sharing some of our credit?"

Rui Fu's words successfully dispelled the doubts of Harper and Louisa, and it was very attractive to them to have fewer colleagues to share the credit.

And what Rui Fu said was indeed reasonable. There were only a few third-order transcendents in the entire White Tower, and they would never be easily transferred until there were no major problems.

It is impossible to mobilize this level of combat power for this kind of reconnaissance mission right now. To put it more bluntly, just mobilizing four second-level extraordinary people is already considered a high match for this mission.

If this is the case, why hesitate?

Seeing that the Tactical Mobile Team had made a decision, Sherlock stopped dissuading him. After all, he himself had the intention of going down to the grave to investigate.

In addition, more importantly, compared to River and his party, Sherlock obviously has stronger confidence in his own safety, thinking of him here.Involuntarily touched the metal pocket watch in his chest pocket.

"Then let's go!" With a wave of his hand, River led Harper and Sakaya towards the tomb, while the rest of the first-order transcendents stayed on the ground under the leadership of Luisa, the sharpshooter.

Inside the Hurndon estate in Buckinghamshire.

Moriarty packed all his luggage, and ordered several servants to take these boxes of things downstairs to the carriage.

"Dang dong." Jonathan walked outside Moriarty's room door and knocked lightly twice.

"Oh, what's the matter with Jonathan?" Moriarty smiled decently.

"It seems that you are also planning to leave Uncle Monty." Jonathan walked in, greeted Moriarty, and then took out a letter from his arms: "This is a letter from your father."

Moriarty took the envelope and didn't open it right away. Instead, he looked at Jonathan and asked with concern, "I heard from the servants that you are also planning to leave."

"Yes." Jonathan smiled: "My business is still in India. Now that my father's funeral is over, I need to go back to Delhi."

After speaking, he thought of something again, and immediately explained: "As for Angelina, she has always wanted to travel around the world, and her father left her a lot of money, so she will also set off with me when the time comes , go to South Asia first, whether it is New Delhi, Mumbai, Kuala Lumpur, these places are very exotic, I hope seeing the scenery there will make her feel better."

"Okay, okay, going out to play is really helpful to your mood, I wish you a smooth journey." Moriarty said happily, and then waved goodbye to Jonathan. After Jonathan left the room, he smiled again. An uncheckable voice muttered:
"It's okay to leave, the current British island is not a safe place."

After speaking, he opened the letter that Disraeli left for him, and after reading it carefully, he closed the letter and lit it with a candle.

Watching the letter paper turn into pieces of ashes under the burning of the flames, he seemed to be able to vaguely see Disraeli's eternal gentle appearance in the flying and falling ashes.

"I'm sorry, teacher, I have no choice but to fight with all my might."
