Chapter 583

The drizzle was ticking.

Baker Street, 221.

"Boom!"

In Holmes's studio, there was a sudden noise, and then, the smoke exploded at a speed visible to the naked eye. At first, it was no more than the size of a fist, but it quickly expanded outwards, filling the entire small building.

"Cough cough cough..."

"This taste, cough!"

In the white smoke, Officer Wensley kept coughing, covered his nose and said, "It's too strange."

"Oh, failed again!"

A sigh sounded.

Looking through the thick fog, one can vaguely see someone walking near the window sill.

With a click, as the glass window was opened, the smoke dissipated quickly, and Holmes finally appeared.

Gentle, lean, square-jawed, with a curly coat that seems to have been left untouched for a long time.

"Long time no see, Mr. Holmes."

The smoke completely dissipated, and a smile appeared on Officer Wensley's face again, and he greeted him proactively.

Compared with those colleagues, Wensley is more humble, even if he is very high-ranking.

In addition, the police officer is also willing to go deep into the abyss of the Whitechapel area to help the poor as much as possible.

It's not easy for a young and personable person to come out of a group of idiots.

The above is Holmes' evaluation of Wensley.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Saying that, a pair of gray eyes glanced at Lu Li and the others, wondering, "Who are these?"

"The detective team commissioned by the East District serial murder case." Wensley explained softly, "There are some people who have admired you for a long time and want to come and visit."

"Don't young people nowadays like to fight alone?"

As he spoke, Holmes walked quickly to the wine cabinet, took out two bottles of brandy from it, lit the stove again, poured wine for everyone, and said:

"Just find a seat and sit there, just don't touch those collections."

Clay pipes... cherrywood pipes... tobacco-stuffed Persian slippers... magic scrolls... parchment manuscripts...

The three of Bai Yu and his party looked around like grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They felt that every collection in this place was of great value, and they subconsciously wanted to be licking dogs.

If Sherlock Holmes is made happy, and the legendary detective chooses one of the hundreds of things in front of him as a gift for the first meeting, wouldn't it take off in place?

It's a pity that Juanfu is not a boy who spreads money.

At this moment, Holmes was in a tangle. Among the visitors, there were two people who made him feel very close. Especially when Duke took out his pipe, he asked:

"Do you mind smoking?"

To be honest, at the moment when he saw the briar pipe, Holmes even wanted to turn around and take all his cherry wood pipe and Persian slippers, and everyone enjoyed and chatted.

However, the feminine-looking man next to him disgusted him for no reason, without any reason, it was completely from the heart.

As for Bai Yu and the others, Holmes didn't care at all, they were as inconspicuous as passers-by.

"Please help yourself."

Holmes suppressed the doubt in his heart and responded with a smile.

The scene became a little weird.

In fact, Lu Li was also puzzled. When the original time and space met, Holmes was extraordinarily enthusiastic. He was a talkative and funny man. Why does he seem to be a different person now?

Thanks to Officer Wensley's mediation, the atmosphere was not so cold.

"Last night, Watson sent over the invitation letter, but as you can see, I have some personal matters to attend to lately..."

However, Holmes played his cards against common sense and declined the invitation to participate in the investigation of the serial murder case, which made everyone present frown.

"What's more, with the help of so many excellent private investigators, the truth must be found out soon."

Duke had a surprised expression on his face, and was about to ask more questions, when Lu Li shook his head slightly at him.

"That's a real pity."

"I thought I could investigate the case with you and investigate the matter to the bottom..."

Having said that, Lu Li sighed, changed the topic, and said, "But can you provide us with some necessary help? For example, some knowledge of mysticism."

"certainly."

Holmes answered very bluntly, as if he had forgotten that he had just politely declined Scotland Yard's request, and continued: "If you encounter any difficulties, you can come here to see me at any time. If I am not available, you can leave a message."

this attitude...

Lu Li vaguely guessed what was going on.

In fact, not only him, Pan Ming also noticed something in his heart, and his mood was extremely complicated.

Who would have thought that the entrance examination would leave such serious sequelae!

"Mr. Holmes, do you have any relevant records about the Supreme Mother?"

After calming down for a while, Lu Li had already accepted the reality. Under such circumstances, he and Duke would never go it alone without Pan Ming, so Holmes would not be brought along.

It is enough if the other party is willing to provide relevant information.

"Which legend are you referring to? The Far East, or Northern Europe."

"The goddess of darkness and abundance, the black goat of the forest that breeds thousands of descendants."

"It seems that you have found a clue, and your idea coincides with that of Justice Johnny."

Holmes turned around, searched for a moment among the bookshelves full of classics, and added: "Here, He is mentioned above, but it is difficult to verify whether the content is true or not."

"Because it doesn't say who the original author is, and the whole article uses modern English."

Lu Li took the manuscript in a binder from Holmes and guessed, "It's probably a translation."

"That's right, the person who wrote this book is an archaeologist. He declared at the beginning that he found a large number of murals in an underground cave by the North Sea, as well as a large number of runes carved on them."

"After ten years of study and translation, the author translated all of it. However, he passed away within two days after the book was written, before it could be simplified and proofread."

"About half a century later, this first draft ended up in Covent Garden Market, sold by the grandson of an archaeologist who had no real job and made his living selling the family's antiquities cheaply."

Holmes has an amazing memory. He can tell the origin and related stories of all the collections.

【During the new moon, Shabu Nicholas can be summoned in any forest area...】

[Awaken Shabu Nicholas, the black goat of the forest that breeds tens of thousands of descendants, you need to sacrifice things related to the birth of life]

[Calling language: Yay! Shab Nicholas! The black goat of the forest that gave birth to tens of thousands of descendants! 】

Looking across a large amount of known and useless content, Lu Li quickly extracted valuable information.

Birth of life?

This is not something that one person can accomplish.

Why do pagans insist on focusing on unclean women?

Until now, Lu Li still hasn't found a definite answer to this question, so he can only continue to speculate.

"Take this book first, study it slowly, and I will also help you pay attention to the classics about the Supreme Mother God."
