Sherlock Holmes

In the final analysis, social injustice is the unfairness of information channels.

The people don’t know what brutal and bloody confrontations the various forces have fought for this year’s inheritance ceremony. Naturally, they don’t know how tit-for-tat the two factions represented by Augustine the Great and Franklin are facing each other, refusing to give in, and even people can’t put it aside. The death of Professor Darwin, the life extension experiment, and the conjecture about the controllability of wild demons, these types of things are connected with the inheritance ceremony.

They can only see the words in the newspaper, and they can only know that on that day, in the Victory Memorial Square, the old emperor's most inspiring words, and the extremely tired sound when he took off the crown that symbolized supreme authority. sigh.

He said he was old, and he was indeed old.

He said he was tired, and he should be.

So at this moment, people's eyes filled with tears, and they could no longer control the excitement in their hearts. The cries resounded over the ancient Roman city. This cry represented the end of an era, and was naturally equivalent to the beginning of another era. , Emperor Augustine believed in Franklin, then the people of the empire believed in Franklin.

He said that the new king inherited his will, so the people felt that that person inherited the old emperor's will.

In fact, how can these ordinary people know what this so-called will is?

They just sighed blindly and believed in their longing for a better future. In short, just because of these few words of the old emperor, it was enough to set off a bloody storm in the empire and even cause the productivity of the country to continue to decline in the next few years. Change, transformation, has become a clarion call to move towards a better future.

This result is undoubtedly satisfactory to everyone.

London, a small street on the Thames River across from Big Ben.

This place is not well-known because there are so many beautiful scenery around it, such as the Parliament Building left before the Holy Calendar, Thames Boat Harbor in the distance, Phoenix Cathedral, etc. Even the setting sun breaks through the thick fog and rises on the river. The reflection can attract everyone's eyes, so almost no one will notice this alley, and no one will know that there is a bar in the alley.

This bar has no signboard, and the entrance is just a small door without any decoration, but once you walk in, you will find something special. The gorgeous decorations and the most tasteful details are enough to make even the most picky guests praise you. Of course, Well, the prices of the food on the menu are enough to make anyone’s jaw drop.

In fact, some people know that this bar is called [Irene Bar].

Some people will also find that every city seems to have a place like this, and their names all seem to be called [Irene Bar].

But most people just think that the owner behind this bar must be a rich man with an eccentric personality and unique tastes. And those who truly understand what these bars mean will look at the bar owners with the most respect, and even some faint fear.

The time came to nine o'clock at night.

It was so peaceful outside the bar that you could almost hear the rippling sound of the Thames, but inside that inconspicuous little door, the grandest dance was being held.

There are so many things happening these days.

The Darwin Recovery Plan has achieved great success, and the final results demonstration has received the greatest recognition. The Electricity and Energy Act has been initially passed. The Empire Change Ceremony has been successfully concluded. The new Emperor Franklin will officially ascend the throne at the beginning of next month.

No matter which one, it is the most shocking good news, and these good news combined can really make even the most indifferent person laugh out loud.

The people in the hall were wearing the most elegant clothes, and the waiters carefully shuttled among these people, with expensive wines on the trays in their hands. Everyone smiled so sincerely, and their words and manners exuded intoxicating elegance.

In a private room on the second floor, Irene had just filled up a glass of valuable red wine, handed it to Sherlock who was standing in front of the window, and clinked the glass with him. She was very free and easy. He took a sip and blushed a little.

If the people below knew at this time that the owner of this bar was on the second floor and was alone with a civilian detective, I don't know what their expressions would be.

Seeing that Sherlock did not drink, but looked at the people below in silence, Irene also turned and looked out the window.

"Actually, I admire you for establishing such a close personal friendship with His Royal Highness the Son. He was even willing to hold this reception in London for you. You know, in order to meet His Royal Highness the Son, I bought An entire railway line."

Sherlock was not amazed by these words. In fact, he could now understand that the industry under Eileen's hands must be bigger than he imagined, and a railway might not be anything to her.

"I didn't mean to establish friendship with that kid. In fact, the relationship between us is just average. I helped him this time just because I was interested in the case of the London airship crash. Last time I helped him because He begged me, but I was embarrassed to pretend not to hear."

Sherlock said calmly, recalling the anxious look on Moriarty's face when he was stopped on the day of holy love. He still found it funny.

You can see the people below, surrounded by each other in piles, the sound of wine glasses is constantly ringing, and soft music floats out from nowhere, mixed with the chuckles that sound from time to time. Sherlock knows that those people are like this The vested interests of the series of events must be in a good mood now. Under such a big event as the emperor's change of throne, they are intertwined with each other. I don't know how many wealth transactions and power distribution are going on.

Well, to put it bluntly, this dance is just a vegetable market selling power and wealth, so Sherlock felt a little bored.

"Why was Augustine the Great acquitted?"

he asked softly.

In fact, he should be able to think of the answer to this question, but just like a certain habit, if the person involved in a question is right in front of him, then he is more willing to hear the other person tell him personally.

Eileen should have known that Sherlock would ask this question, so she smiled and said:

"Because Emperor Augustine promised that he would personally support the new emperor of the empire to take office, you should have thought of it

I have to say that the old man is really incredibly powerful. It only took him less than half an hour to minimize the impact of this empire-wide turmoil. To a certain extent, On the contrary, it made the people of the empire more accepting of Franklin, the new king.

This move will allow the empire to proceed to the next stage without any loss, and even the replacement of energy sources will be implemented faster. "

Listening to Irene's words, Sherlock felt that everything was similar to what he thought.

So he put down his wine glass and said calmly:

"Indeed, this is the best ending, but the price paid is that Emperor Augustine was acquitted."

Irene's drunken eyes seemed to wake up in an instant because of these words. She looked at the man in front of her very seriously, hesitated, and said nervously: "Yes, if I want to get such a happy ending, Of course something has to be done, and for a dying old man, whether he is guilty or not is not really that important."

"Remember what you said when we were on the airship at the beginning? You said that this case involves me, and I am the best detective in the world."

Sherlock spoke word by word, as if he was emphasizing something that only he cared about:

“So, at the beginning, I joined with the attitude that a detective should have towards a case.

It's not because of the distribution of rights.

It's not the future of humanity or the beginning of the next stage of the empire as you said.

I'm just a detective, and all I care about is this case.

Now, you tell me, in the case I was responsible for, the culprit was acquitted

This is different from what we originally agreed to do."
