Chapter 260 Obligations to Society, and Incarceration
Sherlock didn't come out, but just opened the door casually.

Instead, Moriarty walked in. He sat down on the chair angrily, and looked at Mrs. Hudson and Watson in the room. In fact, he thought that they had gathered together like this a long time ago, but at that time, They are just the simplest of friends, and at this moment, everything seems to be different.

Moriarty didn't have time to recall those simple times that didn't include rights or positions. It's conceivable that he's busy at this time, but after hearing the message from Irene, he resolutely met in a meeting. He got up and left the table, and then forcibly recruited a high-speed airship from another administrative district, and landed abruptly between the buildings in the urban area. This is enough to show that he attaches great importance to Sherlock.

Or rather, nervous.

Of course, no matter what emotion it is, there must be anger in it!So he sat at the table full of anger, then stared at Sherlock, and said in a deep voice:
"sorry!"

Well, His Royal Highness Son apologized. Although the tone of the apology was still that high-spirited attitude, it was because of his personality. Anyway, he apologized to Sherlock after all.

"This matter is indeed different from what was said in advance, but I have to do this, and you also know that the large-scale strike at that time has lasted for several days. I did not take the time to inform you in advance, because if Even if the riot can end even a few minutes earlier, it will reduce a lot of losses for the empire. This is the most correct approach, and you should be able to understand my approach, you are not an idiot!"

Moriarty was extremely tired these days. He hadn't slept for several days in a row because of the coronation ceremony and the affairs brought about by the new king in the diocese these days.

So Sherlock looked at his increasingly weak body, and waved his hand comfortingly: "Okay, okay, there's no need to explain so much, I don't blame you, it's just that my focus is different from yours."

"different?"

"That's right. You are the majestic Holy Son, so you will naturally look at the entire empire. But I am just a detective. I only want to care about my case."

"Do you know what you are talking about?" Moriarty said, trying hard to suppress his voice: "Do you know what time it is now?

It is time for the kings of mankind to change.

The old guy's declaration can reduce the side effects of this link to the lowest point!

Humanity has the opportunity to regain the world, and at this time the old emperor voluntarily abdicated, and has received the highest admiration from the people of the entire empire for decades, and you are going to kill him at this time?To turn this human hero into a conspirator?

No one would want you to do this kind of thing! "

"What does it mean to 'become' a conspirator, and how do you know that no one will be willing?" Sherlock ignored the other party's anger, but instead poured a cup of tea and handed it to the other party: "You didn't see the parade recently Well. Ever since Emperor Augustine announced his abdication, there are still people shouting with signs on the street.

Those were the families of the victims of the London airship crash.

On the sign they were holding, there were titles such as murderer and deceit. There was a group of people on the street yesterday, and the loudest one inside should be a teenage girl.

If I had told her that I was going to bring your father's killer to justice, she would have cried, hugged me, and kissed me. "

"I knew you would say this!" Moriarty ignored the cup of tea, and still said in a stern tone: "I understand the grief of those who died, but they are only a small number of people. As a representative of a race, if you destroy the current good situation for these people, what is the difference between you and those selfish people?"

"It makes no difference, but I never said I was a man of great social responsibility, or that I was just a little detective.

I'm not getting carried away by anger or professionalism.I am calm and know exactly what I am doing.

It's you instead. Have you forgotten what you once said? "

Sherlock calmly looked at His Royal Highness Son in front of him, and said slowly:

"Half a year ago, when I just found out that you were the holy son of the Holy See, you also talked to me. You said that human beings have classes. The higher the class, the more power they have, but the more obligations they have. You have always Use this to motivate yourself.

But what if the other way around
People at the bottom have little power, so what about our obligations?
Should we also worry about the country and the people, and regard future prosperity as our duty?
Before satisfying our own wishes, before we have the ability to support ourselves to live, before we get the life we ​​want, we should first consider whether human beings can conquer the stars and the sea, consider the interests of the race, and the trade-offs of the world?
Do civilians also have a great and long-term vision like you?
Do you allow it?
Someone has to move things in the factory, someone has to work the fields, someone has to do the steam-dizzy work in the factory.

As for the people who do these things, as long as they can do the things in front of them well, it is very good. This is the division of labor in society. These people only have a very narrow understanding of society, and they all know the truth through newspapers and Propaganda, listen to what you tell people to listen to, watch what you tell them to see, even when society needs them to die, these people should die, this is what you call human society.

Since this is the case, shouldn't those so-called race, future, social progress, and structural stability be things that you should only consider and be qualified to consider?

I am also a commoner. To this day, I do not own a house or a regular job. I just arrest a few prisoners every now and then to make ends meet. The first time I got involved in this matter was because of the murder of Professor Darwin, but If you didn't come to me about this case, I wouldn't be qualified to know about it.

So this society is unfair. Since it is unfair, then of course I have a reason to be selfish. Before I contribute to the beauty of the world, I must first ensure that I am in a good mood.

As for what you said. I understand that what you said is correct. You have the most truth, and I have never denied your remarks.

But now, I want to emphasize for the third time that I am just a detective, and I just want to take care of my case. The principles of social stability you mentioned are not my obligation, so in your opinion, I should do it for the society. The moment I make a sacrifice, I have no reason to sacrifice for this society. "

When Shylock said these words, he was extremely calm, because he didn't need to be excited or shout. The relationship between society and people has always been like this. Big people have to look like big people, so small people naturally have to look like small people.

Moriarty listened to Sherlock's words, he became more and more silent, but his expression became more and more dignified, and finally, he finally said: "You can't do it, even if Augustine is no longer the emperor, you definitely can't." It's possible to kill him... It's even more impossible to make him confess, you can't even get close to him, and you can't even say a word to him."

"Always try."

"Are you crazy?!"

"Have you forgotten? You wanted to kill him at the very beginning. If I'm crazy, then you are crazy too. People always have to try things that they can't accomplish, otherwise what's the point of life."

Moriarty didn't say anything more, he took a deep breath, almost suffocating his lungs, he knew that he had no way to convince the guy in front of him.

So after a few seconds, he heavily exhaled all his breath, then looked at Sherlock solemnly, and said softly:
"Molan!"

"I'm here, master" the maid standing beside responded respectfully

"Go ahead. From this moment on, the entire Baker Street will enter the highest level of lockdown. The nearest military defense forces will be mobilized. All exits will be fenced. Patrols will be conducted 24 hours a day. Priests from the Judgment Department will be dispatched to station. All idle areas in the surrounding city will be closed. Get me as many demon sedatives as you can get from the quota, and send 8 third-level contractors to London as quickly as possible, use the Holy See’s transportation route to get their contracted demons over, and let me keep an eye on the outside. The surrounding people collectively Evacuate and imprison the target [Sherlock Holmes], and do not allow him to step out of this street!"
