Chapter 160 Plans and Changes

"Every morning at 9:00, Ms. Adler will go out with her maid to take care of the flowers in the garden; after lunch at 12 noon, she will leave the residence for half a day, and will not come back until five or six o'clock in the evening. After briefly introducing Ms. Adler's beauty and features, Sherlock and Di Renjie began to discuss the details of tomorrow's visit:
"It's not very polite to visit at night, I think 10 in the morning is a good choice."

"Of course, in addition, we'd better avoid revealing our identities. It is difficult to obtain a search permit under the current situation." Di Renjie reminded.

"I totally agree, so we need to disguise ourselves." As if Sherlock had expected it, he took out two press IDs from his pocket and put them on the table:
"It's been forged just now, see if there are any omissions."

Di Renjie picked up the two documents, both the material, the pattern and the ink color on the documents were well camouflaged, and no problems could be seen; as for the photos on the documents, they looked somewhat similar to the faces of the two, but upon closer inspection I also feel that there are many differences:
"We need to disguise ourselves then?"

Di Renjie guessed Sherlock's plan.

"I have met that Miss Jane, in case she is also in the villa." Sherlock shrugged and explained to Di Renjie why a disguise is necessary.

"Then, as a reporter, we need to learn about Ms. Adler's relevant information through interviews, especially why she invited Ms. Jane to London. Is there any secret behind it?" Sherlock continued to introduce the follow-up arrangements .

"I have great confidence in your observation ability, Sherlock, but what if Ms. Adler has an excellent acting talent and is good at weaving lies?" Di Renjie filled in the gap.

"If it gets to that point, I have prepared a backup."

"What's behind?"

"You will know when the time comes, and it will definitely bring you a surprise?" Sherlock showed an inscrutable smile.

Inside the Tower of London, a loud phone ringing broke the silence of the night.

Kelly struggled to stand up from the sofa recliner, rubbed her blond hair that was a little messy due to her nap, and took off the blindfold, revealing her sleepy eyes.

"What's going on? Is there any urgent news?" She shouted out of the office door.

Immediately outside the door, there was the sound of a chair being pushed away, followed by a short period of rapid and heavy footsteps. It could be heard that the owner of the footsteps had a lot of weight:
"A call just came from Regent's Park." A chubby man with a round head and a beard squeezed in from the door.

"What did they say?"

"Conveyed a message from the cabinet, saying that not long ago, His Excellency the Prime Minister announced a bill that shocked the whole country to the major media. Public protests." This big man named Flynn, Kelly's assistant, looks rough, but in fact he is very reliable.

"What do they want us to do?" Kelly took a sip of water and gradually emerged from her half-asleep state.

"Maintain stability and avoid riots." After Flynn finished speaking, he looked at the thoughtful Kelly, hesitated and said, "Do we need to notify His Excellency Watson?"

"Immediately, is the telephone installed at 221b Baker Street?" Kelly Feng said sharply.

"No, the procedures at the communication bureau are very cumbersome." Flynn shook his head helplessly: "We can send someone over there to notify you."

"Forget it, this is not a difficult problem, let's make preparations and plans first." Kelly thought that Di Renjie and the others had been spinning around for several days, and she couldn't bear to disturb each other.

Although technically speaking, she shouldn't have passed her superiors to issue orders, but this level of problem, Kelly believes that she can handle it.

Moreover, deep down in her heart, she is actually eager to have such an opportunity to show her ability alone.

Time soon came to the morning of the second day.

Di Renjie stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the apartment, observing the passers-by outside the window, watching the city wake up from the silence of the night bit by bit.

Looking at it, he suddenly frowned.

I saw that the originally peaceful streets gradually became chaotic, and the center of the chaos was one after another newsboys jumping up and down with newspapers in their hands.

He immediately realized that there might be some big news today.

"Ding bell~"

The door on the first floor was opened, and the bell hanging on the door made a crisp sound.

Mrs. Hudson, wearing a thick coat, came in from the door with a freshly baked buttered bread in her arms, and several newspapers in her hand.

"Sherlock, Watson, are you awake?" Mrs. Hudson, who put down her breakfast, exclaimed loudly, "There is a big news today."

She was amazed as she went upstairs, and managed to quarrel Sherlock out of the room.

"Oh, thank you for the wake-up call, Mrs. Hudson." Sherlock came out in his nightgown, rubbing his eyes, and then fell down on the sofa again.

"Wake up, there is really big news." Mrs. Hudson put the newspaper on the coffee table: "I read in the newspaper that it seems that Ireland is going to be independent."

"Well, let me guess if those lobbying groups have started some parades again; or is there another bloody conflict between the Irish and the police department?" Sherlock said with a relaxed tone:
"It's all a vulgar drama that has been staged in turn every year. It seems to be very powerful, but it will disappear without a trace after a long time."

"But it seems to be different this time." Mrs. Hudson seemed to be shaken by Sherlock's words. Although she was defending at this time, her tone was not firm at all.

"What's the difference?" Sherlock held back his mouth.

"It seems really different." Di Renjie picked up the newspaper and read it carefully.

Di Renjie's judgment obviously carried more weight, and Sherlock, who had always been light-hearted, became a little more serious, so he asked curiously:
"What's the difference?"

Di Renjie unfolded the front page of the newspaper and showed it to Sherlock:
[The Prime Minister issued the "Irish Self-Government Act" last night, which is expected to be submitted to the House of Commons for consideration within two days]

"What?" Sherlock jumped up from the sofa after reading the headline quickly, and took the newspaper from Di Renjie's hand: "It's for real this time?"

"Sherlock, take a look at this again." Mrs. Hudson brought several newspapers, and Di Renjie saw an article that interested him in one of the newspapers called "The Sun".
