Chapter 85 New Colleagues

"I probably understand what you mean," Sherlock nodded, put away his frivolous expression just now, and became serious.

"It is very difficult to maintain the stability of London. We never know what dangers lurk in those deep aristocratic mansions, in those secret rich man's cellars, in those dark corners of the East End What kind of evil is going on.

"Just maintaining the superficial calm requires the full cooperation of various departments of the imperial government.

"Scotland Yard handles routine cases. The Bureau of Secrets needs to protect national security and deal with spies from other countries. The Secret Intelligence Service lurks in other countries to collect intelligence for us. The Political Communications Bureau needs to monitor massive amounts of communication information at all times." McCoff walked While introducing them:
"All departments have their own responsibilities, but among these responsibilities, there is a gap in the part dealing with extraordinary crimes and abnormal events. In the past, this part was often jointly responsible by the Secret Service and the Special Operations Team of Scotland Yard, but this Temporary redeployment often brings command and coordination problems, especially the complicated procedural requirements within the imperial civil service system, which will make operations complicated and difficult."

"That's why our department was established." Di Renjie said with a smile.

"That's right," Mycroft nodded, "This is what I, the cabinet and His Majesty expect from the new department."

"Okay, we're here," as soon as Mycroft finished speaking, everyone noticed a metal door in front of them. He took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to Di Renjie:
"I leave it to you, Mr. Watson. This will be your 'kingdom' from now on."

"Thank you," Di Renjie took the key and inserted the key into the door lock without much hesitation.

"Crack," the door opened.

A spacious, well-decorated office was displayed in front of everyone. Sunlight passed through the windows, cut into small squares by the black iron metal frame, and fell on the wooden floor.

The fine dust is disturbed by the airflow, flies in the air, and falls into the beams of bright sunlight, dotted like flying golden sand.

"Are you satisfied?" Mycroft asked with a smile.

"Of course," Di Renjie looked at the furnishings in the room with a friendly smile on his face.
-
After the three of them sat down in the office, McCoff took out a folder and handed it to Di Renjie.

Di Renjie opened the folder and took out a stack of papers, which recorded the files of some people.

"This is a candidate transferred from various parties to the new department. You need to familiarize yourself with it as soon as possible. In addition, in principle, this is highly confidential." Mycroft glanced at Sherlock and Francis, and said helplessly:
"However, the identities of everyone present are very 'innocent', so I won't do anything unnecessary."

Di Renjie and Sherlock smiled knowingly.

"Let's take a look at the first one first. This is the most important, because he will be the head of the new department. I asked him to meet here in the afternoon. I hope you can get along well."

"Then I really need to take a good look." Di Renjie looked at the content on the paper with great interest.

[Jackson Lamb, male, 64 years old, former director of the Bureau of Secrets, third-level "plainclothes knight", was once considered to have the hope of breaking through to the fourth level, but was forced to resign due to alcoholism, and currently lives alone in London Inside a rental house in the East District. 】

The text introduction is very short, but there is a photo attached to the text. Although it is a black and white photo, Di Renjie still confirms that his future "boss" is probably very sloppy through the image that is not easy to distinguish. obese old man.

"This gentleman doesn't look simple?" Di Renjie said with a smile.

Di Renjie's words are not ironic, on the contrary, he really thinks that Mr. Lamb is not simple.

If you just look at the text and pictures, I am afraid that everyone will think that this Mr. Lamb is a very unreliable person, but Di Renjie believes in McCoff's vision in selecting candidates. With such obvious shortcomings, this Mr. Lamb He was still selected by McCoff, which shows that he has a very terrifying superiority in some aspects.

Sure enough, after Di Renjie said this, Mycroft showed a smile:
"You are right, Mr. Watson, if by the standard of a normal man Jackson Lamb is a bastard; but by the standard of a spy, Jackson Lamb is the world's most Great guy."

"You made me interested in him." Di Renjie smiled and flipped off the first page, looking at the second.

This time it was a young man.

[River Cartwhite, male, 24 years old, 2nd rank "Musketeer Knight", served in the Royal Navy for two years with outstanding achievements; his parents died for the country, and he is currently living with his grandfather David Cartwhite. 】

"This young gentleman looks very normal, even looking handsome in the photos." Di Renjie commented:
"But I don't think he should be as simple as the document shows, right?"

"That's right," Mycroft said playfully. "His grandfather, David Cartwright, was the former permanent undersecretary for security on the National Security Council."

Sherlock raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Is this a related household?"

"No, he applied to be transferred to the new department by himself. He is a very motivated young man."

"That sounds pretty good."

"Let's take a look at the third one." Di Renjie flipped over the third piece of paper:

[Catherine, female, 56 years old, the third-level "Sister of Spiritual Sense" of the Pure White Eye Pathway, a religious dissident, a Protestant, once practiced in the Lonely Mountain Monastery, one of the three major monasteries of the church, and is currently protected by the British government . 】

"Oh, this lady looks like," Di Renjie gasped, "but it's not that simple."
