Chapter 58 Conversation in Regent's Park
Regent's Park is actually not far from Baker Street. In some places, the two are even only a few steps away. Di Renjie often passed by here when he jogged in the morning.

Mainly because of the good air, which is a rare thing in the foggy London.

But frankly speaking, when Di Renjie passed by here before, he never thought that this would be the headquarters of the Imperial Secrecy Bureau.

The carriage carrying Di Renjie, Sherlock, Lestrade and Eamon drove across an ancient stone arch bridge and came to a small island surrounded by rivers. Various plants and flowers were planted on the small island, although At this time, the weather is very cold, and last night it was snowing heavily, but you can still imagine the gorgeous scene of everything blooming here in spring and summer.

The center of the garden is a courtyard-style building with an elegant and luxurious appearance, matching the surrounding gardens. When Di Renjie passed by before, he always thought this was some high-end private club.

Who would have thought that this place turned out to be an intelligence agency?The office conditions are a bit too much!

The carriage traveled all the way, leaving two parallel traces on the snow-covered masonry road, and the traces grew all the way to the side gate of the courtyard.

The side door was open at the moment. It was a door specially used for the entry and exit of carriages. Di Renjie and others could enter in the carriage first and then get out of the carriage. The main purpose of doing so was of course to protect the privacy of the visitors.

After all, the Bureau of Secrets is a secret department, although all Britons know that the Empire has such a secret department.

But until the government is ready to reveal this well-known secret, it still has to pretend to be a secret service.

Of course, this does not mean that the specific situation of the Secrecy Bureau has been known to the outside world. The general public's perception of this department is still as follows:
"Oh, I seem to have heard of such a mysterious institution, but I don't know what it is called, nor where it is."

If there is someone in London in this era who chooses something like the top ten urban legends in London, the Bureau of Secrecy must have a place.

In short, Di Renjie and Sherlock's group stepped into the interior of this urban legend at this time. Under Amon's guidance, they came to a reception room, but only the two of them were allowed to enter. Lestrade and Amon Mengdu was left outside.

The layout of the reception room is in a typical Rococo style. From the decoration to the furniture, various forms of curves can be seen everywhere. The floor made of light-colored wood and flowers dotted around make the room look light and elegant.

"Welcome both of you," Mycroft, who was sitting on the window seat in the reception room, put down the newspaper in his hand, "Sherlock, this is the first time you have come to my work place."

"If you remember correctly, that's true," Sherlock nodded, looked around, and then pretended to be surprised and said:
"Are you implying that I should bring a present?"

"It's always bad to come here empty-handed, right?" Mycroft smiled and shrugged.

"But I think we have brought the best gift." Di Renjie found a chair and sat down, and the three of them just sat in a triangle.

After hearing Di Renjie's words, Mycroft narrowed his eyes slightly, and the smile on his face became brighter:
"Under the premise of not having much power, overly outstanding political wisdom may not be a good thing."

"Will it be dangerous?" Sherlock shrugged, although he didn't have much political wisdom.

"It will bring distress." Mycroft glanced at his brother and smiled.

"Will you tell us the truth?" Di Renjie asked straight to the point.

"It depends on how you define truth, Mr. Watson."

"Facts are truths," Sherlock said, spreading his hands.

"Then what are the facts? Or how to be sure that everything I said is the truth? Seeing is believing? Or is it a rigorous logical deduction based on evidence?" McCaw said meaningfully.

This sentence made Di Renjie a little concerned, he always felt that there was something in McCoff's words.

"You can just say it. If you don't want to say it, we can just leave and expose Davidson's actions to the media." Sherlock retreated.

"Okay, I can tell you part of it, the truth, if you like the word." Mycroft looked at the two with interest, and said slowly:
"The fall of the chandelier was indeed done by Davidson, and the layout of the basement and the replacement of personnel in the maintenance department were also arranged by him."

"Then we should arrest him." Di Renjie tentatively asked.

"We can't use this charge to arrest him, because the crown was only borrowed, not stolen." Mycroft smiled slightly.

"what?!

"But the crown has obviously been sent overseas..." Sherlock said with some surprise.

"What is someone going to do with the crown?" Di Renjie noticed something unusual.

"You are very smart," Mycroft gave Di Renjie an appreciative glance. The young man in front of him has an unimaginable sense of politics. He seems to be able to guess those hidden under the counter through some kind of almost intuitive judgment. conspiracy:

"But I'm sorry, I can't say more, I can only assure you that the crown will return to Her Majesty's hands intact in two months, and those who were injured last night will receive government subsidies , the relevant staff will only be punished on the surface, except for Superintendent Gu Luo, but we have also written a script for him to turn around, an old police detective who went overseas alone to save his honor, what do you think of this character design. "

"You arranged all of this?" Sherlock looked at Mycroft with a somewhat unkind expression. This kind of encounter made him feel fooled, and what was even more annoying was that he was really almost fooled before. Lied to.

"It wasn't my arrangement," the corners of Mycroft's mouth slightly curled up. "I just happened to be at the right time and pushed the boat along. Didn't Mr. Watson also guess something just now?"

Di Renjie looked at Sherlock with a wry smile: "We are used by him as a bargaining chip to threaten others."

Although Sherlock doesn't have much talent in the political field, he has a strong reasoning ability. When the hints of McCoff and Di Renjie are so obvious, he can figure it out instantly.

"Someone is using the crown to play tricks, and the royal family is aware of this, and even acquiesced; and you noticed something abnormal in the British Museum, but you pretended not to know it in order to gain benefits, but mobilized me and John Investigating the case for you, you know that with our ability, it is very possible to find out something is wrong, but other people don't know, and they will relax their vigilance because of your concession." Sherlock said quickly.

"In this way, Mr. Mycroft silently stabbed a sharp knife into the heart of the man behind the scenes, which gave him the capital to exchange benefits." Di Renjie added the last sentence:
"And now, you are going to use the same method to exchange interests with us in exchange for our silence, is that right, Mr. McCoff?"

Mycroft smiled and nodded. He didn't speak, but directly took out a pocket watch and handed it to Sherlock:

"There is a mysterious power beyond the ordinary in this world, and this is the key to open the door of mystery."

After finishing speaking, before Sherlock could react, he turned to look at Di Renjie again:

"I'm about to form a department dedicated to extraordinary cases and extraordinary spies. I want to invite you to join. Are you interested?"
