When Sherlock entered the room, he subconsciously raised his eyebrows.
He saw at first glance that there was too little food on the table and too much was eaten.
Avalon is different from Star Antimony. The country founded by knights does not promote the virtue of thrift. Here, holding a banquet is an honor and it is considered impolite if the food and wine are almost finished but the party is far from over.
It was because the host prepared too little food that the guests had to leave early to end their trip. Therefore, when the guests realize that they are almost done eating, they will deliberately eat less to save some face for the host.
So this cannot be the first round of meals. It should be the second round.
Similarly, if it is a disrespect to finish the meal, then replacing and serving the second round of dishes is a kind of attention and retention. The implication is "I have brought you another table of fresh and hot meals. Isn't it a bit rude for you to leave now?"
"Good evening, Mr. Sherlock."
< p>Isabel was the first to say, "Nice to meet you."Why are you suddenly happy?
Sherlock was a little confused, but there was still nothing wrong with the etiquette.
"The silver-crowned dragon is above."
He did not dare to raise his head to look at the princess. He knelt down on one knee respectfully, put one hand on his chest, and bowed his head in a knightly salute: "Your Highness Princess , I wish you all the best."
"Please get up, Mr. Sherlock."
Isabel made a clear voice.
At this time, Sherlock dared to stand up and say hello to Yanis, who was still sitting at the table, and Aiwass, who was sitting in a wheelchair.
Yannis smiled and nodded in response. As for Aiwass, who was unable to move, Lily behind him gently bowed and returned the salute.
Soon, after standing up, Sherlock's sharp hawk-like eyes glanced at Princess Isabel's slightly tipsy face.
Did you drink so much?
He was a little surprised.
It seems that Master Yannis really values Mr. Aiwass.
Otherwise, she should prevent Her Royal Highness from drinking too much. In terms of etiquette, most important people will not drink too much wine at banquets, and will only take one or two polite sips. If you finish a glass and then add another drink, you will appear to be too close and take the banquet too seriously.
And this itself is a political signal.
If Master Yanis thinks Aiwass is an unimportant guest, he will signal Isabel to keep her distance.
But now I’m afraid it’s not a matter of drinking one or two cups.
Look at the two empty wine bottles on the table, the three of them actually drank two bottles of wine
Those servants in the Palace of Silver and Tin will definitely sell this information. Sherlock knew that some of them were connected to a certain minister or knight family. Sometimes, he himself would buy some information from them.
In other words.
Tomorrow morning at the latest, the information that Princess Isabel is very fond of Aiwass Moriarty will be sent to the desks of several ministers.
You are young and have a lot of promise
When Sherlock thought of this, an idea suddenly came to his mind
Speaking of it.
Her Royal Highness the Princess has played the role of little Aiwass’s mother in the ceremony before. Isn’t she not out of the drama yet?
“Speaking of which, Mr. Sherlock. I heard that you and Inspector Edward went to handle some cases. Do you want to sit down and eat some at night?"
Sherlock politely refused.
But he still symbolically took a piece of bread in his hand to indicate that he accepted the food given by the princess.
He knew that it was already the rest time for Her Royal Highness the Princess, and she must have eaten. He didn't dare to let Princess Isabel eat with him for his own reasons.
If his father knew about this, he would probably have to give him a beating.
Thinking of this, Sherlock suddenly saw the slightly raised corners of the little princess's mouth and realized that she might have had a little too much to drink.
Now I am afraid that I am deliberately making fun of myself.
When I was in the dream before, as the only experienced senior in the team, I scolded the naive "Lulu" several times.
Basically, it’s only what he says, and there is no room for her to refute. As a result, now in reality, in the Palace of Silver and Tin, the two people's positions are completely reversed.
There is nothing we can do about it.
After all, she was the one who took the initiative to expose her identity, so she couldn’t blame her.
But Sherlock soon ran into trouble.
If there were only the princess and Master Yanis, he could speak directly. By the way, I would like to remind Master Yanis about the dangerous and mysterious Mr. "Fox".
But Aiwass is still here.
Although Sherlock is very optimistic about Aiwass, he cannot take the initiative to leak Princess Isabel's private information in front of outsiders.
After all, this is something only he and Isabel know.
If he says it here, does that mean that he will also leak or even sell the little princess's personal information outside? Sherlock is loyal to Queen Sophia, so it is naturally impossible for him to do such a thing that harms the royal family.
But here comes the problem.
Sherlock has always been straightforward about what he says, so now how can he explain his motivation to track down the Sweater Brotherhood?
So Sherlock thought for a moment and came up with the idea. A way of answering that only Isabel can understand
"I accidentally learned about the gathering point of a strangulation party in Lloyd District from an unreliable gentleman."
p>Sherlock hinted in a deep voice, "They may be related to the mastermind behind the Pelican Bar. I considered that it would be a bit risky to go alone, so I invited my friend EdMoriarty is accompanying me. "
"So, what are the results of the investigation?"
Aiwass suddenly interjected, looking very interested in this topic.
"Very smoothly. It was indeed the gathering place for a gang of stranglers called the Sweater Brotherhood. We also found a batch of alchemical bombs. "
"It seems," Aiwass said with a smile, "that gentleman who is not very reliable seems to be quite reliable. "
Sherlock was noncommittal, and after a moment of silence he added, "However, after a brief interrogation, they themselves did not know that it was a bomb. They just took the money and looked after the goods for others.
"I suspect that the person behind them has contact with the people at the customs. Because this batch of bombs came from the customs through formal channels, I went to check with Edward in the afternoon. This batch of goods had formal certificates." The order was signed and the label of "passed inspection" was attached. "
The detective with curly black hair and always lazy expression seemed confident at the moment. "This is very important information and a critical breakthrough. < /p>
“Following this clue, we immediately grasped the logistics batches and arrival time of the remaining bombs. If you continue to check, you can check all the acceptance personnel of the customs department from this time on that day.
"Your Highness Isabel, I can even say that this case has been solved now. The remaining work is just repetitive investigation work with no technical content."
He I didn't hide Aiwass because it was completely unnecessary.
The other party involved in this case is Aiwass’ eldest brother. He is not the type to follow rules in everything. If Aiwass asked, he would definitely tell him.
"In addition, Your Highness Isabel, the identity of the bone sculpture has basically been locked, but the fox has not yet started the investigation."
Sherlock asked respectfully, "Next, we should go first Looking for a bone sculpture or a fox?"
He has not written a report yet.
But when he writes the report and gives it to the Queen, the Queen will probably ask him to refer to Her Royal Highness the Princess’s opinion. After all, this also involves Isabel’s own advancement ceremony. Only she and Sherlock knew what was going on inside. With the queen's wisdom, she will definitely not point fingers.
At that time, if you still have to ask Isabel for her opinion during your own investigation, it would be better to take the initiative to ask questions now and leave yourself some initiative.
"Go find the bone carvings. We need to eliminate the unstable elements that may harm Avalon as soon as possible. I will support your investigation. If there is any link that needs to be signed, you can come to me. "
Isabel thought for a moment, glanced at Aiwass, and replied vaguely, "As for Mr. Fox, you can put it aside for now."
Aiwass blinked. Blink.
Isabel was vaguely suspicious at this moment.
But the answer she gave made Sherlock confused.Somewhat surprised, he really didn't want to find the "Fox", so he deliberately said that the identity of the "Bone Sculpture" was almost locked. It is hoped that this method can be used to induce Isabel's decision-making.
After all, in his opinion, Isabel's obsession with her "Mr. Fox" is quite serious.
Is it because of Aiwass?
If so, that would be great.
Compared with the cunning "fox" whose identity is unclear and smooth-talking, he has an impression of Aiwass who is smart and decisive, humble and polite. In addition, he also respected his professor Moriarty. His math scores at the time were relatively poor. Thanks to Professor Moriarty's guidance, he was able to maintain his status as chief until graduation.
Thanks to the guidance of Professor Moriarty, Sherlock was able to realize that his true talent actually lay on the path of wisdom. In fact, he does not really recognize the principles of the authoritarian path, but his behavior of strictly controlling his own will and leading others unintentionally conforms to the authoritarian path.
The way he met Professor Moriarty was through his friend Edward.
He is the only friend Sherlock made in college.
Therefore, his evaluation of Aiwass was somewhat mixed with personal feelings.
"Be careful on the road when you go."
Yannis asked, "Do you have a dagger on you, Sherlock?"
" Yes," Sherlock replied, "Edward brought me one."
Many spells on the authoritarian path require holding this dagger. Because this short sword is the status symbol of Avalon's law enforcement officers, it represents "law". In a sense, its essence is actually a staff limited to the authoritative path that can be used as a melee weapon.
Edward brought two swords with him when he went out, not because he wanted to use two swords, but because one of them was for Sherlock's self-defense.
Shylock is not a supervisor, just a consultant. He doesn't have a sword.
He refused to enter Avalon's legal system, so most of the legal skills he learned could not be used. People who are unwilling to obey their superiors and do not follow order will be deprived of their power, which is also a characteristic of the authoritarian path.
"That's okay."
Yannis nodded and said to Aiwass, "I will send someone to deliver that painting to your house later, so don't hold it." It will be very dangerous. At least Sherlock will definitely not be able to save it."
"What painting?" Sherlock was startled when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "I think it's okay."
He is more or less a lawyer who has barely reached the fourth level, and he is not someone who can be provoked by any little thief.
"It's the Golden Dawn."
Sitting in a wheelchair, Aiwass spoke softly and replied in a gentle voice, "I had a great conversation with Master Yanis. So she decided to give this painting to me."
Sherlock was stunned for a moment.
His face showed clear astonishment, and the incomprehensible reality made his brain go blank for a moment.
Golden Dawn
Can this kind of national treasure-level art be given away just by "having a pleasant conversation"?
Young people are promising, and young people are promising. Why
Sherlock didn't know how he should evaluate it, so he could only repeat it in his mind. Please remember to bookmark, the latest and fastest website is free to read without anti-theft
