what do you think sherlock

Chapter 148 Phone
[Something is wrong. 】

Di Renjie felt that his group was gradually falling into a huge trap. Every step, every action, was always one step behind the opponent, and there were always unsatisfactory places.

And it is these tiny mistakes that make them farther and farther away from the truth.

Just like the matter of Wang Delei and Jane, if Sherlock hadn't met Ms. Jane by accident, he might still be in the dark.Of course, at this moment, he did not dare to say that the encounter between Sherlock and Ms. Jane must not have been deliberately arranged by someone with a heart; nor did he dare to say that what Ms. Jane said must be true. If what is said is true, then the whole case will be deduced to a completely different answer from the previous one with the addition of this new testimony.

In this scenario, Wang Delei may be facing a life-and-death crisis, so Di Renjie needs to call Scotland Yard immediately to ask them to increase their protection for Mr. Wang Delei.

Di Renjie didn't feel sorry for Wang Delei, but before the truth came out, no one should die in such an unexplained way, and if it was as he had guessed, then Wang Delei's death meant that an important clue was broken, which is also The result he didn't want to see.

The old-fashioned escalator was very clumsy. There was no elevator door to isolate noise and no control system. Di Renjie could only anxiously watch the floors passing by in front of him, and watched the pointer above the iron sliding door turn little by little. Half a minute of time seemed to him as long as a year.

Finally, with a slight shake, the elevator descended to the first floor.Di Renjie opened the iron sliding door anxiously, and walked quickly to the front desk of the hotel.

"I need to requisition your hotel's phone immediately."

He said in an undeniable tone.
-
Scotland Yard maintains a dedicated telephone room which receives and handles all calls from the London area.

It is said to be a communication room, but in fact there are only three police officers on duty in it, because for the current London, the telephone is still a relatively new and expensive piece of furniture, except for slightly affluent upper-middle-class families and high-end places everywhere Besides, people usually don't choose to equip such an expensive "toy" for their daily life.

Yes, before the real communication network was formed, the existence of the telephone was more like a luxury than a necessity of life.

"Jingle bell~~"

Under the operation of the operator of the Communications Bureau, the telephone line of Scotland Yard was successfully connected:
"Hi, this is Scotland Yard."

A chubby police officer picked up the handset and receiver of the phone.

"I am John Watson, the head of the White Tower Department. We have obtained the latest information. Someone wants to assassinate Mr. Wang Delei who is currently being held in the detention room of Scotland Yard. Please report to His Excellency Gu Luo immediately and mobilize manpower to strengthen Mr. Wang Delei. The protective force." Di Renjie lied here, he was actually not sure whether Wang Delei would be assassinated, but he believed that the people of Scotland Yard would pay more attention to it.

"Okay, we already know your request, what is your relationship with Your Excellency Gu Luo?"

When Di Renjie heard this sentence, he was slightly stunned, and he asked in disbelief: "What are you talking about?"

"It's like this, Your Excellency Watson, we have no way to disturb Your Excellency Gu Luo just because of your words. According to the normal process, I need to report to my supervisor first, and he will decide the content of this conversation. Do you want to report to the superior superintendent, and then the superintendent will report to the superintendent?" The chubby policeman said in a helpless tone.

Di Renjie could hear the perfunctory in the other party's words, and followed his set of procedures. If something really happened, Wang Delei would probably be completely cold by the time his reports were over.

"Superintendent Lestrade, can you get in touch with him? He and I are old friends."

Di Renjie knew that he had met an old fritter, and he hated this kind of person very much, but no matter whether it was punishment or a lesson, there was no time to proceed until after the case was over, and the immediate priority was still to save Wang Delei's life as soon as possible.

So he changed the request and asked the other party to inform Lestrade, who was relatively easy to talk to, and he and Lestrade had a deeper friendship. If there were any procedural problems, Lestrade would probably Also happy to help him out.

"Okay, since you are familiar with Superintendent Lestrade, I'll go and inform you." The slightly chubby police officer immediately became friendly when he heard that Di Renjie said that he and Superintendent Lestrade were old friends. I have learned a lot, and I don't say anything about reporting layer by layer.

Di Renjie hung up the phone, but the uneasiness in his heart did not decrease at all. He didn't know how soon Lestrade could get the news, and he couldn't guess how long it would take for the other party to organize and protect him. The guarding force of Wang Delei's life, when all these unknowns in time are combined with the unreliable attitude of the policeman who just answered the phone, the result of the whole operation becomes confusing and confusing.

【No, I have to do something to remedy it. 】

Di Renjie grabbed the phone he had just put down, spun the dial with his right index finger, and dialed a new number.

This time the call was no longer to Scotland Yard, but to Regent's Park.

Although both Di Renjie and Sherlock are reluctant to admit it, but at critical moments, Mycroft is always the most trustworthy helper.
-
"Hey, are you really going to do what that person said?" Another policeman next to him said with a smile after the chubby policeman put down the phone.

"How is it possible? What if Superintendent Lestrade has a bad opinion of me because this is just a joke?" The chubby policeman showed a wise smile:

"Our job is only to receive the alarm call and convey it to the superior. The content of the conversation just now has been recorded in the notebook. I will send him to the Inspector, and he will decide whether to convey it to Superintendent Lestrade. Something really went wrong, and I've done my part."

"As expected of you." Another police officer praised with a smile.

"Okay, I'm going to solve the problem at work now, and I'll leave it to you first." The chubby police officer stretched out his hand exaggeratedly, as if he was going to complete some difficult task, and clamped the notebook under his armpit He walked out from the communication room.

He whistled, and first gave the notebook to the police inspector in charge of the communication room. Seeing that the other party was not in the office, he went to the bathroom to use the toilet.

To be honest, he didn't take the call just now to heart. Someone is going to commit murder in Scotland Yard?What kind of international joke is this.

He might as well have said that the criminal lived in Buckingham Palace!
Although the other party is the person in charge of the White Tower Department, this new department has not yet established a stable trust and connection with other parts of the imperial civil service. Take the fat police officer as an example. He has indeed heard of this department, but this He has no specific concept of how important the department is, what level the person in charge of the department is, and what kind of power and responsibilities correspond to it, which leads to mistakes in judgment.

However, thinking that the other party is a powerful figure in a department after all, the chubby police officer after draining the water in the bathroom, thought for a while, and felt that he still needs to do an extra layer of protection, so he should sell the other party's face.

So he zipped up his trousers, wiped his notebook without washing his hands, and set off again with the notebook between his hands. This time his destination was the detention room.
