Pastor's Tantra

Chapter 108 Foxes are always good at lying

At this moment, history is being changed by itself.

Aiwass felt the context of [history] very clearly.

The glow called "possibility" was held in his hand, beating powerfully.

He remembered it clearly - in the original plot, Sherlock had never been attacked with such violence.

Until Shylock disappeared completely a few years later, there was still no correct answer to the incident in which his father, Arthur Hermes, was framed.

Even the person "York Hermes" did not appear in the main plot at all.

——Although Aiwass basically didn’t watch the plot, he has such confidence. Although he skipped all the plot CGs when he played, he would still read the posts in the player community and the video of the plot UP owner to understand the plot.

As far as Sherlock's popularity among players is concerned, as Sherlock's uncle... York Hermes would definitely be discussed if he ever made an official appearance. Especially after Sherlock disappeared, it was impossible for no one to mention this name.

Not to mention, York is also the legal consultant hired by Lloyd's, the largest gang organization in Avalon, and a senior executive of Lloyd's. At the same time, he is also involved in the Noble Red Society and the Alchemy Bomb case. There are definitely many secrets hidden in him. In the timeline where he did not try to assassinate Sherlock, Mr. York was most likely not a passerby.

He has at least three clues tied to him: Lloyd's, the Noble Red Society, and the Minister of Trade. There is a high probability that he is also related to the curse on the royal family, and may even be related to the Hawkeye organization.

In other words, all events in the entire 1.0 version have a close intersection with "York Lawyer"!

Aiwass prefers that he was silenced or killed by another group before trying to assassinate Sherlock. That's why he didn't appear in the "player" perspective throughout the whole process, and he didn't participate in any main plot at all.

This person is undoubtedly a very critical breaking point, and may even be the weakest link in the entire conspiracy chain.

——Now that Sherlock has a little contact with Lloyd's, he must silence Sherlock. That means his current situation should be very delicate.

The reason why he must kill Sherlock immediately is also very simple. From Aiwass' perspective, things are crystal clear.

The biggest change here from the plot is the "sweater brotherhood" mentioned by Aiwass in his dream.

"Sherlock, calm down and listen to me first. We don't need to investigate your uncle York Hermes.

"Let's exchange our thinking positions first."

——The most famous detective in Glass Island, the chief consultant of the Inspectorate, and the nephew of Lloyd’s executive York Hermes, Mr. Sherlock Hermes did not have any evidence and did not report the crime. Without warning, Inspector Edward was brought directly to Glass Island. The two of them personally raided the abandoned chemical plant stronghold with a rather hidden entrance that had never been discovered in the Lloyd District.

At this time, the Sweater Brotherhood had not yet begun to steal the corpses in the Hanging Square. They were no different from the large and small hanging parties controlled by Lloyd's, and there was nothing special about them.

It happened that at this moment, a large number of alchemy bombs smuggled from the Star Antimony Kingdom were piled in the abandoned chemical factory. Moreover, this batch of alchemical bombs was ordered by the Minister of Trade who had dealings with the Noble Red Society.

"...If I were a senior executive at Lloyd's, what would I think now?"

Aiwass crossed his fingers, placed the tea cup in the palm of his hands, and said in a calm and gentle tone: "Then I can only think that His Excellency 'York Hermes' accidentally leaked the secret when he tried to recruit you. And you directly Reporting to the Inspectorate inadvertently proves another thing - you know that Lloyd's has an informant in the Inspectorate."

"……I see."

When Aiwass said this, Sherlock immediately understood: "I went to see Edward at that time, actually because I was not sure whether the information you gave me was true or false, and I planned to take him to see the situation.

"At the beginning, we didn't know what kind of amazing results we could achieve. Because I have a very good relationship with Edward, it would be fine even if I played tricks on him occasionally. At most, I would just make him laugh..."

As he spoke, he stood up and started walking back and forth in the room.

While pacing, he spoke at a very fast speed: "In my eyes, the relationship between Edward and me is that of a trustworthy friend; but in the eyes of those at Lloyd's, the most conspicuous label on Edward is 'The Inspector General of the Glass Island'. As a consultant to the Inspectorate, I directly skipped the Inspectorate and went to the Inspector General - without even notifying the Inspectorate. This means that I already know that Lloyd's has a large number of high-level personnel in the Kingdom. own people.

Sherlock stopped and looked back at Aiwass who was sitting in the wheelchair: "I obtained these two pieces of information at the same time, which can only mean... that York Hermes leaked the secret."

Aiwass nodded: "So, if he can't recruit you, he must kill you himself. To prove that he has not betrayed."

"...That's why he did it himself."

Sherlock stood there and pondered for a while, then walked over and lowered his voice: "Then I plan to fine-tune my plan, Aiwass."

"You might as well tell me about your previous plan?"

"It's very simple. First find a way to test whether he is the murderer... Of course it shouldn't be used now."

Sherlock replied: "I heard from Mr. Bishop that your holy sword cannot be used yet, which means that you actually have no fighting ability. Therefore, I do not intend to let you be responsible for the most dangerous link...that is, his arrest. Work.

"My funeral will be tomorrow morning, and Uncle York will definitely come to my funeral.

"My brother Mike Loft was the only one in my family who knew I was alive, and he was very smart and trustworthy. To make it appear more natural to my parents, neither of my parents knew about it. I was originally I plan to use this kind of atmosphere to make him relax his vigilance."

"What happens after you let down your guard?"

Aiwass asked: "Trick him out and kill him?"

"It's roughly like this."

Sherlock nodded: "I also have a backup intelligence storage point somewhere that I often go to - I really prepared such a safe house, and it was not a temporary preparation. It really stores my information there. Lloyd’s findings, everything is true.”

Aiwass quickly understood Sherlock's plan: "You want him to take action again."

"Yes," Sherlock said solemnly, "He is too cautious. Whenever he appears in public, he will always be accompanied by one or two arbitrator friends.

"What my uncle likes most is to hunt young people with great talents. When the status and ability of the other person are lower than his, he will sincerely interact with them. After the other person's talent has blossomed, he will let them In turn, protect yourself.

"His hunting range is not even just 'young people', but also people who are suddenly in trouble... As a lawyer, it is easy for him to encounter such people. Like Inspector Gordon who was in the newspaper with you that day.

"When Gordon just retired, his family was involved in a troublesome lawsuit. York helped him solve the problem and arranged a job for him. He even started as the deputy director of the Supervision Bureau... Although without him, in the end, Gordon will most likely have a good identity, but Uncle York's behavior will always give people a pretty good impression."

So that’s it, he’s an angel investor.

Aiwass suddenly realized.

No wonder Sherlock felt troubled at the moment, and no wonder Gordon, an old knight who looked very old-fashioned, took the initiative to shake hands with him at that time.

This is a true upper-class social butterfly. Like a low-profile Professor Moriarty.

He has no tricks or flaws. As long as he doesn't take the initiative, he is invulnerable. Even if he leaves evidence, he may not be convicted in the end based on his connections.

In this case, after getting the information from him, you can't let him go back easily... otherwise, you will only cause trouble for yourself.

Aiwass narrowed his eyes.

It just so happened that he had touched two very good poisons from the assassin lady before.

——One portion of it can cause a person to die naturally.

So he thought about it and said in a low voice: "Your plan is inappropriate."

Sherlock did not question it immediately, but frowned and thought for a moment: "Are you worried that he will let his subordinates or friends come to get it?"

"Your thinking is too disciplined, Sherlock. You are too deeply influenced by the authoritarian path, and you ignore the fact that thugs are unreasonable."

Aiwass said quietly: "If I were your uncle, what would I do? Would I risk myself to obtain evidence of my own crime, or would I let my subordinates or friends have the opportunity to discover my true identity?"

"He can also silence the person who took the evidence." Sherlock added.

"It is indeed possible, but it is not safe. It is entirely possible for the other party to check it privately, keep part of it, or even threaten him in turn. Their relationship seems to be very good, but in fact it is just that. It can only be regarded as a personal connection at best, and there is no loyalty at all. .”

Aiwass closed one eye slightly and whispered: "If I were him, I would not let these people have any chance to come into contact with too deep secrets. Silencing them can only be regarded as 'compensation' at best.

"——From this point of view, the safest way is to let people from the Noble Red Society directly blow up your safe house and completely destroy the evidence on the physical level.

"So your previous plan was not reliable, and it might put Edward and you in danger. It's time to say something new."

When Aiwass spoke like this, Sherlock seemed to have an hallucination - this young man holding a tea cup and drinking milk tea slowly over there, sitting in a wheelchair with a gentle smile, felt extremely dangerous at this moment. .

It was a completely different sense of danger from the cold and silent feeling of his brother Edward. He is obviously smiling, has a polite manner, a gentle attitude, and a gentle personality, but for some reason he makes people shudder.

There is also an indescribable feeling of familiarity...

Suddenly, Sherlock reacted.

——At this moment, Aiwass is like his adoptive father, Professor Moriarty.

He was stunned for a while before he reacted and coughed lightly. Clumsily concealing his surprise.

"...So my new plan is that you slowly make friends with him tomorrow by using your identity as 'Sherlock's friend'... You can even pretend to join Lloyd's. Whatever you do, the ultimate goal is to make him fall." Single. And notify Edward to successfully capture him. It's best to complete it as soon as possible and don't make the matter too big. The longer I am 'dead', the harder it will be to come back... When I advance next time, I will probably still be alive. This matter can no longer be hidden.

"I'm ashamed to say it, but I'm actually not very good at acting. Especially in the dream world, where a person's instincts and habits are forced out. In other words, we still have three weeks at most, and it's best to end it within two weeks. "

Sherlock patted Aiwass on the shoulder: "I believe you can do it. 'Fox' is always very good at deceiving people."

He emphasized the word "fox" particularly hard.

…Didn’t you even care when you drank too much just now? Why do I start to think about it again now that I'm sober?

Aiwass, who was sitting safely in the wheelchair, cursed.

But he's really good at this - isn't it just to quickly gain the opponent's trust?

Don't worry, I can do it.
