Chapter 51 New commission?

Although he didn't go to bed early last night, and he was a little exhausted before going to bed because of the advancement and display of extraordinary abilities, but the next morning, Di Renjie woke up early as usual.

On the one hand, this is of course the result of his self-discipline, and on the other hand, it is also possible that there is no reason for the extraordinary advancement itself.

Although according to the knowledge he has acquired, before a transcendent enters the fourth level, the changes in spirit and ability will not benefit the body, but the strength of the spirit itself will actually change many things. For example, a better spirit often brings better good sleep and more.

In short, although he slept later than Sherlock yesterday, Di Renjie got up earlier than Sherlock today.

It was 6:30 in the morning, and Di Renjie was holding a cup of black tea, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the street view, and holding a piece of freshly heated toast in his hand.

He touched the butter on the toast. The taste of hot toast with butter was not amazing, but it was delicious.

"Good morning," said Holmes lazily coming out of the bedroom, and sank into an armchair, still in his dressing-gown.

"It's really admirable to go from one bed to another 'bed' and continue to exercise during sleep." Di Renjie joked.

"Come on John," Sherlock said, rocking in the armchair, closing his eyes comfortably, "returning to sleep is an essential part of sleep, like dessert,"

Di Renjie was used to Sherlock's inconsistency from time to time, he smiled and continued to enjoy the scenery outside the window.

It was a bright and cold February morning, and London was still cold at this time, and it snowed quietly last night. According to Di Renjie’s experience, although the sky was exposed to sunlight at this time, the clouds in the distance were still thick. There is no guarantee that snow will not continue to fall tonight or tomorrow.

Light snowflakes fell in thick layers on the streets and on the roofs, glistening in the early spring sun.

"Sherlock, there are some police officers coming from the street." Di Renjie, who was observing the street scene, suddenly noticed something, and turned to Sherlock.

He had a premonition that these people must be coming for them.

Is it to distribute bounties?When did the Scotland Yard process go so fast?
Wait, I seem to have to return the cipher box to Lestrade in the morning, no wonder I subconsciously feel that I should get up early; besides, after I advanced yesterday, I hurried over to let Mrs. Hudson and Captain Nolan Seeing the last one, I haven't had time to test the advanced ability and its limit. In addition, Angelina told herself before that after the advanced stage, three afterglows of sublimation will be born in the soul room, and I don't know how to collect them...

In short, there are so many things to do, and there are still many things to do, Di Renjie sighed in his heart after taking a sip of black tea.

"How many police officers?" After enjoying the "dessert", Sherlock walked to the window and stood side by side with Di Renjie: "These police officers swayed from side to side as they walked, looking at the house numbers from time to time, and looked nervous. Come to us for a case, John."

"I agree with you, but it is also possible that we are asked to go to Scotland Yard to take a record or something..." Before Di Renjie finished speaking, the police officers rushed to the door of 221B Baker Street, panting, ready to pull Ring the doorbell.

"I'll pick them up so as not to wake Mrs. Hudson." Di Renjie put down his teacup and walked downstairs quickly, and welcomed them in before they rang the doorbell.

"I'm sorry, gentlemen, for bothering you so early, but we need your help now." The police officer in front said eagerly.

"Wow, John, according to the current frequency, I think we need to install a telephone set, and we don't need many lines, just install the one that connects to Scotland Yard." Sherlock said with a vivid expression.

"Or can you rent it directly at the police station?" Di Renjie served several cups of black tea to several police officers.

But they were obviously not in the mood to drink tea: "It's like this. After everyone left the museum last night, another theft happened."

"Again? Didn't Mrs. Raglan send Scotland Yard away?" Sherlock frowned slightly.

"Could there be a follow-up to this incident?" Di Renjie was also a little surprised. At this moment, he had a bad guess in his heart.

"No, gentlemen, that case is over; what follows is a whole new case, and a million times more serious," said the constable, in a terrible tone.

"A million times more serious? It can't be that the crown was stolen." Sherlock said jokingly.

He looked at Di Renjie, and Di Renjie signaled him with his eyes, paying attention to the faces of the people opposite.

Then he saw that the faces of several police officers turned pale.

"Oh my God."

At seven in the morning, Di Renjie and Sherlock arrived at the British Museum.

At this time, the blockade outside the museum has been completely removed. London in this era is a giant. There are more than a dozen docks and ports on the Thames River alone, and there are countless land ports and coastal docks.

This means that if you want to block so many entrances and exits, you need to use a lot of manpower. The Secret Service, Secret Intelligence Service, Scotland Yard, London City Police, and even the Imperial Army and Royal Navy. At this time, in the capital of the British Empire, everything can The forces mobilized in time were all mobilized, so after judging that the crown was not in the museum, for the purpose of saving manpower, McCoff ordered the police to go to various ports for support.

Corresponding to such a huge blockade, as the financial, economic, and political center of this era, the shutdown of London will cause massive loss of wealth every moment.

"I can only give you 24 hours. If we still can't find the crown before [-]:[-] tomorrow morning, then I have to remove all the blockade measures." Mycroft looked at Sherlock in front of him wearily. and Di Renjie.

His appearance at this time was much worse than when he was "blackmailed" by Di Renjie on the road before, with a haggard face visible to the naked eye.

Apparently staying up all night was too hurtful for a middle-aged man like him.

"This is Emon, Assistant Director of the Secrecy Bureau, and he is an important member of my team. He can provide you with all administrative and military support; as for this Mr. Lestrade, I don't think I need to introduce any more. Not only can he mobilize the power of Scotland Yard, but he has personally experienced the case last night, so he is the best helper." With a tired face, Mycroft introduced the two people around him to Di Renjie and Sherlock.

Lestrade has known each other for a long time, so there is no need to say more; Assistant Emon is a young man with short blond hair. He is about the same age as Sherlock and Di Renjie on the surface. See the slightly bulging muscles under the black uniform.

"We have a general understanding of the situation, so let's start directly now." Sherlock was obviously unwilling to chat with McCoff, so he said succinctly.
