Chapter 806 Baskerville Manor (Please Vote and Subscribe!!!)

At 2 o'clock in the morning, the night sky was covered with dark clouds, and the humid mist was rising from the ground. A box-shaped carriage was driving on a potholed road, with the woods passing by on both sides looking eerie.

At this moment, it had been a full hour since Sakaki Cheng and others left the station. During this period, they cleverly avoided the patrol police and took a detour through the southern path.

This will make the journey longer, but it will be safer.

No one would patrol the lonely roads outside the town in the middle of the night, let alone...

It's going to rain soon.

The humidity in the air slowly increased, and Sakaki's hand holding the handle of the gun began to become moist and greasy.

In less than 10 minutes, sparse raindrops fell from the sky and slapped Sakaki and Deya on their faces.

Pulling up the rain shield, Deya had to slow down the carriage. The rain made the road muddy. If the carriage went too fast, there would be a risk of it rolling over.

"Mr. Sakaki, do you have any countermeasures?"

On a lonely rainy night, Deya felt uneasy and could not calm down:

"How do you want to deal with Colonel Moran's men?"

"I didn't think about it."

Sakaki tilted his head, looking at the forest on a rainy night, while puffing on his cigarette:

"Where are they hiding?"

"In a cemetery, Professor Moriarty asked us to keep you near Lord Baskerville's manor after we control you."

Deya said:

"Before that, Colonel Moran will take his men and wait at the cemetery in advance. As soon as we arrive, Jack the Ripper will sneak into the manor and lure Holmes to the cemetery."

"After arriving at the cemetery, Colonel Moran will kill you with Holmes' pistol, and then blame Holmes. Of course, Holmes, who is trapped in a tight siege, cannot escape and can only be captured."

"At the same time, Baskerville Manor will also be slaughtered by Colonel Moran's men, especially Watson. As Holmes's biggest helper, he must die. In this way, Professor Moriarty's two great enemies, It’s all solved.”

"Two great enemies?"

With a frivolous brow, Sakaki asked:

"In the eyes of Professor Moriarty, is Watson also his archenemy?"

"No"

Deya shook his head:

"Professor Moriarty's two enemies are Holmes and you."

"I really don't understand why I have such an honor and the favor of my professor."

"Do you still remember that the professor met you in the poker club? After you left, he praised you for being the same kind of person as him and Sherlock Holmes, and said that this was a great event worthy of celebration."

Deya was also confused:

"But I can't figure it out. Since the professor thinks so highly of you and Holmes, why would he design to kill you?"

"Wouldn't he be lonely without a companion?"

"Loneliness. People like him are never afraid of loneliness."

Suddenly, Sakaki snorted:

"Loneliness is the best spice in his life. Enemies will make him sleepy and sleepless, but loneliness will not."

"On the contrary, only after waiting alone, the sudden appearance of light can make his long-quiet soul tremble. At that time, he will deeply understand the beauty of loneliness."

"Like a lonely traveler in the desert, when he is about to die of thirst, he sees an oasis in front of him. The thrill of that moment is worth a thousand dollars, even if it is a mirage."

"ah"

Deya was confused by these remarks:

"You mean, the professor is looking for excitement?"

"No, Professor Moriarty is a very cautious person. What he pursues is the loneliness of walking alone in the desert, not the ever-changing situation on the battlefield where you come and go, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand, the professor is a steady person!"

"It can be said that he would rather grow old and die alone than live in instability. This is similar to his love of mathematics. Numbers have only one answer, and so does his life."

in other words

Sakaki Makoto, Holmes, and Moriarty are all different in terms of their styles and temperaments.

The reason why Professor Moriarty said that the three of them are the same type of people is because none of the three will allow unexpected situations to happen.

Eliminating all unstable factors and arriving at the correct answer in the ultimate brainstorming session is the attribute that a wise man should have.

but

Professor Moriarty guessed one thing wrong.

Sakaki may conduct careful reasoning and conception before launching a certain plan, but that doesn't mean he won't take risks.

On the contrary, his specialty is to go all-in, rather than to be timid.

According to common sense

A person like him who fights hard if he can't play well should have burped a long time ago, but he can't stand the fierceness of others!

What Sakaki Cheng likes to do most is to use wisdom to deal with the 'human beings' that he cannot defeat, and to use force to deal with the 'human beings' that are smarter than him.

Prescribe the right medicine, and so far, he has not encountered an opponent.

Baskerville Manor is located due east of the town, and the cemetery where Colonel Moran and others were ambushed is almost 1 kilometer away further east of Baskerville Manor.

The carriage staggered along the southern path and arrived near the manor, stopping on the side of the road shrouded in rain.

A bolt of lightning struck from the sky, illuminating the night scene.

Baskerville Manor is located on the top of a low hill, facing north and south, backed by a forest, with fields on the left and a marsh on the right, with the cemetery surrounding the marsh.

"It's backed by the mountain and facing the river, with a panoramic view, good feng shui"

Standing beside the turbulent river, Makoto Sakaki looked up at the manor with lights on not far away, and said with heartfelt emotion:

"It's a good place to bury people."

With the opening of the Age of Discovery, the giant ships from the West arrived in the Eastern countries and brought back some local specialties.

Some Eastern cultures, such as tea, porcelain, and feng shui, also began to be sought after by some nobles.

Even though many people think that the so-called feng shui is just self-consolation, they will hire some Eastern feng shui masters to survey for themselves, like a fashion trend. It doesn't matter whether it is accurate or not. What matters is whether I have invited them. As long as I have invited them, I can add a lot of topics to talk about at some gatherings, so as to make friends with some upper-class people and achieve political success.

"Mr. Sakaki, the carriage can't go up."

Deya checked the rear wheel and ran over in the rain and said:

"The rain is too heavy, and there is an uphill slope ahead. Our carriage is too heavy and the horse can't pull it up!"

"Is there any other way?"

"No, we could have gone to the manor from the main road, but in order to avoid the patrol police, we took a detour. There was a forest in the middle and we couldn't get through."

No one expected this rain, so Deya can't be blamed.

After thinking for a while, Sakaki got off the carriage and walked to the back of the carriage. He pulled the curtain of the carriage and said to Xiao Ai and others:

"Deya and I will go up to find Holmes. You wait here for a while and will be back in an hour at most!"
