Chapter 55 A Different Way of Thinking and New Clues

Ten minutes later, the Secret Service and Scotland Yard's search of Westminster Harbor and the vicinity of Blackfriars Wharf ended.

"Good news, we found that car." Emon happily ran over.

Then he saw Sherlock, Di Renjie and Lestrade bowed their heads and sighed slightly.

"What's wrong? You don't seem to welcome me very much?"

He was a little confused, but still said the information he had just obtained:

"Our people found a suitable carriage on a boulevard near the port of Westminster, but it was empty and there was nothing left."

"Hey, it's not that we don't welcome you, it's just..." Lestrade and Emon roughly repeated what Sherlock had just said.

"It turned out to be like this!" Amon said in shock.

"It's really the port of Westminster. These people are not only quick in action, but also extraordinarily bold when making plans." Sherlock said with emotion:
"In this way, it seems that traditional detective skills will be useless. Simply calculate the time. If they had boarded the ship within 20 minutes after the incident, they would have sailed out of the Thames and entered the sea by now."

"This..." Emon and Lestrade find it difficult to accept, especially Lestrade. Although the cauldron of the crown loss will definitely be the responsibility of Superintendent Gu Luo, he doesn't think he can avoid being implicated.

It was a crown after all.

Di Renjie still maintained his rationality, he is not the kind of person who gives up lightly, so he turned to Emon and asked:
"Have you confirmed the departure of the Westminster port last night?"

"We have investigated the situation of the two ports. Three ships left the port 10 minutes before the blockade last night, but we cannot confirm which ship the thieves took. But sir, as you just said, even if we confirm Now, the time to intercept has also been lost," Emon said dejectedly.

How happy he was when he got the news just now, how disappointed he is now.

[If this is the case, then there is a high probability that the thieves have entered the sea; but this does not mean that things have not turned around, I always feel as if I have neglected something. 】Di Renjie gently massaged his temples.

"John, do you have any other plans?" Sherlock noticed Di Renjie's expression:

"The sea is erratic. Once sailing into the sea, it is difficult for us to know their specific whereabouts. Even the destination reported by the ship at the port office is likely to be deliberately reserved for misleading..."

"Wait, Sherlock, what did you just say?" As if hit by an electric current, Di Renjie looked up at Sherlock seriously.

"Reserved misleading?" Sherlock's brain, which had just entered a resting state, started to run at high speed again with Di Renjie's more serious expression.

"Could it be? Destination?"

"Yes," Di Renjie snapped his fingers excitedly, unable to conceal his excitement: "It is indeed difficult to find a small boat on the sea, but as long as it is a boat, it must be docked.

"As long as it needs to dock, it must have a purpose."

"But how can we know the other party's destination?" Lestrade fell into confusion again.

"The port office did record the destinations of the three ships, one headed for France, one headed for the Strait of Gibraltar, and the last one headed east for Southend-on-Sea, but this one is probably not ours Goal," Eamon recalled.

Eamon is a very capable assistant. This ability is reflected in the fact that he can provide assistance very steadily and clearly even when he does not know why others are doing what they do.

"Which one do you suspect?" Sherlock looked at Di Renjie.

"Don't doubt which one, I believe that Mr. McCoff has the ability to confirm the situation of the three destinations at the same time." Di Renjie said meaningfully.

"I can't admit anything, but the government does have some influence abroad." Amon promised cryptically.

"However, this is just a guarantee plan," Di Renjie continued, his thinking became clearer at this time.

[It is very difficult to confirm a ship from the vast sea and many ports in other countries, but it is much easier to know the destination of a ship from insiders. 】

"Sherlock, two details,
"First, the thieves know too much about the details of the exhibition hall and exhibition arrangement, they must have a very high-level intelligence source.

"Secondly, people in the maintenance department don't need to come to the museum to work every night, but since they choose to use the identity of the maintenance department as a cover, it means that they know that something will happen in the exhibition hall tonight."

Sherlock suddenly turned his head to look at Di Renjie, and the two said a name in unison:
"Lady Raglan."

*

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Mrs. Raglan in the detention room sneered, and Di Renjie and Sherlock fell into deep thought. They had been at Scotland Yard for more than 30 minutes, but Mrs. Raglan still maintained a highly uncooperative attitude.

But this is also normal, after all, her current situation is all thanks to these two detectives.

It's strange to be able to cooperate.

"Mrs. Raglan, the current situation for you and your family is to bear economic and reputational losses at most, but once you are involved in the case of the loss of the crown, what awaits you is a long prison sentence. At your age, it should be difficult to accept prison life, right?"

Sherlock describes a possible future to Lady Raglan.

"Then just die in prison. I'm over 70 years old and I've lived enough. Let me go down early to be with my poor husband." Mrs. Raglan didn't like it.

After all, at her age, once she broke the pot and played a scoundrel, everyone really had no good solution for a while.

"I will propose to the House of Lords to apply to deprive the Raglan family of their titles." Just when everyone was deadlocked, an old and lifeless voice came from the door of the detention room.

It turned out to be Superintendent Gu Luo, who had not been awake for a long time.

When the words deprived of the title appeared, Mrs. Raglan's face instantly collapsed.

No noble could accept losing his title, even in an era when nobility had no real power.

"Mrs. Raglan, the crown is lost. The reputation and achievements I have made in my life, and the efforts I have made in my life will become the laughing stock of the entire empire and the whole world,"

Although Superintendent Gu Luo still looks very weak, his will and determination are stronger than ever:
"I'm about to lose everything, so before that, I will try my best to drag those who let me go to hell together.

"What these young people can't do, I can do; these young people can't be cruel, I can do it, so if you really know anything,
"Better say it sooner."

Ps: Family members, in the future, the symbol "" represents a person talking, and the symbol [] represents inner thoughts and the content of books and documents, so it seems to be clearer.

And Ps: In the future, the update time will probably be stable at 12:6 noon and 2:1 pm, [-] chapters per day, and [-] chapter will be added if you have the ability to gao on Sunday morning~~
