Chapter 624 Discovery (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
Olympic Games?
Of course Mavi knows what the Olympic Games are, but what makes him puzzled is that the Olympic Games stopped being held as early as 500 years ago, why are they brought up again now?
"Oh, Father, you don't know that the Olympic Games stopped being held 500 years ago. As a whole, humans at that time, although they did not have steam engines, they used magic to cross the ocean and communicate with other continents."

"Later, the gods disappeared and magic could not be used, and several continents lost contact and fell into isolation. At that time, the Apocalypse God System in the Kingdom of Sardinia split, and the Church of the Three Goddesses of Destiny and the Judgment God Sect occupied the Central Continent , the Apocalypse God Sect went to the icy and snowy north, and the Witch God Sect and other small churches went to the uncivilized southern continent."

"Since the split of the apocalypse, the Olympic Games have not been held, but recently, after you won the bid, the king and the pope are discussing the resumption of the Olympic Games, convening missions from all over the world, and promoting mutual cooperation. relationship, strengthen cooperation”

"It turns out that's the case." Ma Wei nodded and said, "It's a good thing to host the Olympic Games, but why did the King of Ruiwei United Kingdom invite Holmes?"

"Well," Arthur thought, "Maybe it's because Mr. Holmes is very famous, or there may be some conspiracy behind it. Recently, Father, didn't you let Holmes investigate Professor James Morea? Maybe it has something to do with it."

"Your Highness, how do you know that I am asking Holmes to investigate Professor James Morea recently?"

Mavi remembered that he had never mentioned the matter of James Morea to Arthur, but he could accurately describe the relevant actions, could it be that...
Arthur smiled disapprovingly: "Father, Holmes is a big celebrity, he will be recognized wherever he goes, especially in London, even the children on the street have heard of him! In London, Holmes wants to be silent It is impossible to investigate someone because everyone will pay attention to him! And one of my knights of the round table happens to be an honorary professor at Oxford University, and he told me this news."

"I think too much."

Ma Wei didn't continue to ask, and it was meaningless to continue asking. Does Arthur have to admit it?
"I have always suspected that Professor James Morea is related to the underground black market. At the last banquet, Holmes also raised the same idea. He is indeed investigating Professor James Morea recently."

After a pause, Ma Wei added: "Just last night, Professor James Morea secretly contacted the King and the Prime Minister at the Covent Royal Opera House. I don't know what they talked about, but now it seems , the invitation of the King of Ruiwei United Kingdom may have something to do with this matter."

The Ruiwei United Kingdom has always been the younger brother of the Kingdom of Windsor, and it is not accurate to say the younger brother, it should be an alliance dominated by the Kingdom of Windsor.

In the matter of inviting Holmes, the Kingdom of Windsor can completely act first and send out invitations instead of the king of the United Kingdom of Ruiwei, and just notify later.

The point is that Professor James Morea has obviously realized that Holmes is investigating him, and no one feels uncomfortable being bitten by such a big detective, but he didn't choose to get rid of Holmes secretly, but used other means, why?
Mr. Steward's effortless killing of Nightingale Club President Hilton Mobiley is enough to show that they have the strength to get rid of Holmes. For this reason, Mavit prepared a living statue for Holmes to protect his safety.

"It's very difficult to refuse an invitation sent by the king himself. It involves international relations." Arthur said, "I'm afraid Holmes has no reason to refuse the invitation. If he leaves London, will it affect your plans, priest?"

"There must be some influence. Letting Holmes leave London may not be a bad thing. He is not an extraordinary person. He has not received the blessing of the goddess, and I cannot protect him at all times."

Mavi is also hesitating whether to let Holmes go to the United Kingdom of Ruiwei, leave London, and leave the land of right and wrong. Holmes is at least safe. He is a person who fits the logical truth and is of great significance to the Church of Truth. Between the professor and personal safety, Ma Wei would definitely choose the latter.

But Holmes is a very stubborn person, Ma Wei kept him away from danger more than once, the result?

Holmes didn't listen at all, and took the risk to find out the truth. Perhaps in his eyes, the truth was more important than his own life.

The reason why Professor James Morea did not take the pain is probably because Holmes has not yet investigated the core. The risk of killing a famous person can be completely avoided in advance.

Besides
If Holmes were in danger during his investigation of Professor James Morea, who would Mavie suspect first?

Or Professor James Morea!

To put it simply, Professor James Morea doesn't have many choices. He can't let Holmes continue to investigate, but killing Holmes will directly expose himself and attract the attention of stronger people. After weighing the pros and cons, he has no choice but to be transferred. Holmes is an option.

"You want Holmes out of London?"

"Well, it's not impossible to let him go, I'm afraid he won't like it. I have to go find him."

Ma Wei picked up the hat on the table, changed Gao Wen back to his original appearance, stood up and said, "Your Highness, I will take my leave first."

"Okay, I will let Gao Wen go back to the apartment and wait for your news."

"To protect the safety of Your Highness, you and Gao Wen"

Ma Wei glanced at Edward beside him: "You stay and continue to serve as Russell Benjamin's butler and head to Edinburgh."

Apart from Edward, Mavi has other options, such as a member of the Aurora Society, Jailan came to London, but to be on the safe side, Edward is still allowed to go here in person. As the lord of the blood clan, as long as the gods do not descend in person, there is nothing he can do about it.

Edward didn't want to leave London, but because of Mavi's order, and because he didn't go to Edinburgh for a short time, he could return within a month. In the long life of the blood race, a month is just a snap of the fingers, so it doesn't hurt to go there.

After letting Edward stay, Mavi and Junia used the mud shadow magic to leave the orphanage and came to West London.

5 p.m., 221 St. Martin Street, Fulham, West London.

Mrs. Hudson warmly entertained Mavie. She had a good memory and recognized Mavie and Junia at a glance. It should be said that she had a deeper impression of Junia. Who would hate a sweet and well-behaved man? Where is the little girl?

Mrs. Hudson had a very good impression of Junia. As soon as she entered the door, she took her to the kitchen to find some snacks. Marvie went upstairs by herself and knocked on Holmes' door.

dong dong!

boom!
As soon as the door was knocked twice, a violent gunshot exploded from the room. Before Mavie had time to speak, Mrs. Hudson shouted from downstairs: "Dilloc! Don't shoot in the room! Scared Emma that she won't have dinner tonight!!!"

The door opened, and Sherlock Holmes, wearing a vest and a shirt, with hair hanging down his forehead, appeared in front of Mavi. At this moment, he looked a little haggard, his face was pale, his eyes were bloodshot, his sleeves were rolled up, and he was fiddling with A revolver, and the room smelled of smoke.

Seeing his appearance, Ma Wei immediately understood that the investigation must have reached a stalemate.

Without exchanging pleasantries or greetings, Holmes let go of the doorknob, turned around and walked into the room, sat down on the sofa, put one foot on the tea table, and stared blankly at the opposite wall with a bullet hole.

Ma Wei closed the door casually, opened the window to ventilate, and asked without looking back: "Have you received the king's message?"

".what news?"

"It seems that you don't know yet. If you have received the news, you will definitely not be in the current state."

Ma Wei turned around, sat on the sofa, and spoke slowly: "The king of the Ruiwei United Kingdom, in the name of hosting the Olympic Games, has sent you an invitation, and hopes that you can represent the Kingdom of Windsor to the Ruiwei United Kingdom. "

"Get me out of London?"

Holmes grasped the point at once, his eyes lit up, and he sat up straight: "This must be a plot by James Morea! Who will let me leave London at this juncture? Only him! Who issued the order? "

"Prime Minister Winston."

"He has problems too!" Holmes said firmly: "Not only him, but the king, queen and the Churchill family must also be included in the scope of investigation!"

"You are so brave"

Seeing that Holmes was in high spirits and swept away his sluggish state just now, Ma Wei couldn't help complaining: "Have you figured it out? The target of your investigation is the cabinet prime minister! And the king!"

"So?" Holmes picked up the walnut pipe, stuffed it with golden tobacco, and said disapprovingly: "The king is also a human being, and he will make mistakes. Isn't the king not bound by the law? If the king can escape the law Sanctions, then this kingdom must be extremely corrupt."

"Are not you afraid?"

"Not afraid."

"Why aren't you afraid?"

"Do you need a reason?" Holmes lit his pipe and exhaled a puff of thick white smoke: "What I am after is a country where the supreme ruler will be punished for breaking the law. A kingdom does not need the truth, and a kingdom that does not need the truth, what is the meaning of my existence?"

"Well said." Ma Wei nodded slowly: "So, you don't plan to leave the Kingdom of Windsor?"

"Of course, the more Professor James Morea wants me to leave the Kingdom of Windsor, it proves that the closer I am to the truth, the truth is right in front of my eyes, so how can I back down?"

"Resisting the king's order, do you know what will happen?"

"I know, but Father, you will help me solve my worries, right?" Holmes said with a pipe in his mouth, "My task is to investigate the truth, and only to investigate the truth. Other troubles do not fall under my jurisdiction."

"."

Isn't this rascal!

Mavi stared at Holmes dumbfounded. She didn't expect the famous Holmes to be a rascal, and it wasn't the first time he acted like a rascal.
but
This time, Ma Wei is going to solve this matter.

If Holmes is willing to leave, then he will leave and go to a safe place. If he is unwilling to leave, Mavi will help solve the trouble caused by resisting the king's order.

"Has there been any progress in your recent investigation? Where is the investigation?"

"Not much progress." Holmes rummaged through the pile of newspapers, and after a while, he pulled out a newspaper that was half a month ago and handed it to Ma Wei: "Recently, I asked the cats and cats to help calculate James Morea's road map. If he is related to the underground black market, regular contact is certain, and he can always find clues, but in the past half a month, the people James Morea has contacted have nothing to do with the underground black market. After thinking about it, I think the problem should lie in here."

Following Holmes' finger, Ma Wei saw the performance information published between the newspapers. It was the daily advertisement of Covent Royal Opera House. Before the performance, Covent Royal Opera House would publish it in major newspapers. For the performance information that night, the audience only needs to buy a newspaper to know what drama will be performed tonight.

In the newspapers for nearly half a month, Holmes circled several pieces of performance information published by the Covent Royal Opera House. There are a total of 5 issues of the newspaper, of which [-] issues of performance information were circled.

"I've circled the theater performances that James Morea watched, and they're all Shakespeare's plays."

Holmes said in a deep voice: "I suspect that James Morea used theatrical performances to communicate with the underground black market. Every time he watches a performance, he will reserve a box, and he is the only guest in the box. It is a good place to pass information."

Shakespeare's plays are the most popular, and every performance will be full of seats. There are not a few audiences who love Shakespeare like Professor James Morea. It is too arbitrary to judge that he uses theatrical performances to communicate with his subordinates based on this point. confirmed.

While thinking, Ma Wei recalled the performance of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" when she met Helena Sheffield for the first time. That night, Professor James Morea was there in person. The one watching the performance in the box was a man named Guy Moran.

"Guy Moran?" Hearing this name, Holmes frowned slightly.

"You know him?"

"I don't know much. He is also a frequent visitor to the Covent Royal Opera House. He is the owner of an underground casino. Like Watson, he is a veteran. He has raised a group of younger brothers, but they are not yet on the scale of a gangster." Holmes said: " He only went to one of the five shows that James Morea saw, and on weekdays, he himself would come to the show."

"Has Guy Moran been in contact with Professor James Morea?"

"I don't know that." Holmes shook his head.

"What's the name of the play they were in together?"

"A Midsummer Night's Dream."
