Chapter 155 Another step slower and a new direction

Frankly speaking, Hansen was a little confused as to why he was chosen by the lord in front of him.Compared with other candidates, their Black Lotus Society does not have many advantages except that they are a little closer to the target area. Even in terms of geographical location, there are one or two gangs that are more suitable than their Black Lotus Society.

But since he has already been valued by the other party, there is no need for him to deliberately refuse.

No one would have trouble with such a large sum of pounds.

Of course, the reaction of other gangs is also considered by Hansen. If everyone strongly opposes it, they, as a new gang, will be neither willing nor able to be the early bird.

But he saw everyone's emotional expressions just now, so he accepted the commission from Scotland Yard without much scruples.

In addition, in Hansen's heart, there is a deeper reason.

In fact, he has always hoped to have such an opportunity to connect with Scotland Yard, which can bring him some convenience.

"President, we have found a clue." A leader of the Black Lotus Society ran up to Hansen and whispered.

In the underground gangs in London, the president is an uncommon title. The reason why the Black Lotus Society adopts this title is because the main members of their gang are mainly immigrants from various countries, and many foreign customs and local customs are mixed together. As a result, a more special organizational structure was born.

"Where is it?" Di Renjie, Sherlock, and Lestrade, who noticed the situation here, rushed over.

"No. 2 Midlothian Street." The leader glanced at Hansen's expression, and after seeing Hansen nodding in agreement, he announced the location of the suspicious place aloud.

"What is this place, can you point it out on the map?" Lestrade frowned, and Hansen quickly took a map from the table.

"North of Banzel Street, east of Stepney, west of Mile End." Before the map in Hansen's hand had time to spread out, a series of place names jumped out of Sherlock's mouth like machine gun bullets come out.

"Damn it, I should have thought it was there." Sherlock picked up his cane and coat, and rushed out the door without any explanation.

"What's going on?" Lestrade and Hansen were a little dazed by the scene in front of them.

"Just get used to it." Di Renjie patted Lestrade on the shoulder. At this time, he was fully dressed and held his cane: "That guy has a map of London engraved in his mind."

After finishing speaking, under the dumbfounded eyes of everyone, he rushed out following Sherlock's footsteps.

"Is the efficiency of your Scotland Yard handling cases so high?" Hansen turned his head to look at Lestrade, who was also a little dazed, with wide eyes. It won't be long.

Lestrade opened his mouth when he heard Hansen's question, but was speechless for a while.

After a while, with a stiff smile and a seemingly relaxed tone, he shrugged and said guiltily:
"Yes, Her Majesty's police force is so reliable."
-
No. 2 Midlothian Street is an Italian pizzeria. According to the leader of the Black Lotus Society, their eyeliners have noticed that a group of mysterious people have been active around this pizzeria recently.

In a place like the Eastern District, each gang has its own sphere of influence, and everyone is very concerned about all outsiders on their own territory.

Especially when strangers appear in groups for a while, the gangsters entrenched in the local area will instantly raise their vigilance.

Therefore, although this group of people acted very secretly, their existence was exposed to the eyes and ears of the Black Lotus Society early on.

Since Sister Catherine left with the team escorting Doma just now, there was a vacancy in the high-end combat power around Di Renjie and Sherlock.

So both of them are very cautious at this time, the closer they are to the destination, the more cautious they are.

Sherlock held the pocket watch in front of his body like a talisman, as if this would remove all the power of the abyss.

"Don't shake it, don't shake it, your head will make you dizzy." The brass pocket watch was suddenly opened, and a small head outlined with ink lines was exposed, and the words of dissatisfaction were clearly transmitted to Di Renjie and Sherlock. in people's ears.this

"Isn't this just for the sake of safety!" Sherlock pursed his lips, showing a smile that lacked sincerity: "Besides, in your current state, there shouldn't be such a part as the brain."

"Then stop shaking, don't worry, according to my perception, there is no one in that building at the moment." Francis said angrily.

"There's no one else?" Di Renjie frowned. He didn't expect his group to move so fast, but they were still one step behind.

Sherlock put the copper watch back into his breast pocket very pragmatically, as if nothing happened just now:
"Then let's go in quickly, John."

Di Renjie nodded, and the two quickly entered the target area and several surrounding houses with a group of people.

The house is very messy. Apart from a lot of traces of life, it can also be seen that the other party was in a hurry and flustered when he evacuated here.

This is obviously not a planned transfer of personnel. Logically speaking, such a transfer will cause great flaws due to haste.

"From the traces, this is the group of criminals we want to find." Sherlock ran back and forth in various rooms like a search dog.

"You're right, Sherlock, let's take a look at this thing." Di Renjie picked up a purchase receipt from the coffee table in the living room on the first floor.

Di Renjie's tone was quite complicated, so Sherlock was immediately attracted.

"Gorage Shipping Co., Ltd., 20 tickets, destination Stockholm, departure time 3:30 pm"

Seeing this, Sherlock raised his head as if electrocuted, and looked at the clock in the corner.

I saw that the metal hands on the clock were exactly at the position of 3:30 at this moment.

"We were led by the nose." Di Renjie took a deep breath.

"John, does this feeling seem familiar?" Sherlock stared blankly at the dial of the metal clock, as if there was endless magic behind that time.

"The case of the missing crown, I know you want to talk about this, Sherlock." Di Renjie looked up at Sherlock, and said in a firm tone: "But Disraeli is dead."

"But the group of people who helped him carry out the plan did not fall into the grave with him." Sherlock said coldly.

"Then who can command them, the new leader of the Conservative Party, the Marquess of Salisbury? Can he do it? And is it necessary for him to do so?" Di Renjie also agrees with Sherlock's statement, but he still can't think of it at this moment , who had the motivation to plot these cases:
"We immediately asked people from the department to go to Gorse Wharf to check to see if there were 20 strange passengers boarding the ship and going out to sea. Maybe they put this certificate here just to confuse us on purpose."

"It may also be a provocation, or a warning." Sherlock looked down at the purchase certificate and murmured in a low voice.
