Sherlock Holmes

Old Butler Maude was still confused as to why so many people were looking at him, but he had no time to think about it. Instead, his eyes swept across the venue, and finally landed on a seat in the front row.

Catherine is sitting there

"Miss! I brought it!"

He said, then hugged the little pet in his arms and trotted over.

During this process, everyone finally saw what the little pet looked like and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Because it's not a pet, but a demon. It's just very small, only about half a meter long, and has thick fur on its body. Its head is round and looks cute, but it has no eyes. .

But no one cares about this. Devils can look like anything.

Catherine heard the old housekeeper's voice and looked back. When she saw the little devil he was holding, an extremely complicated emotion suddenly flashed through her eyes.

She stretched out her hand:

"lighter."

She didn't know why, she said this, and then carefully took the little devil, as if she was afraid of shocking it.

But what makes everyone even more surprised is that this demon seems to be particularly well-behaved. Generally, demons will definitely not want to be hugged by others, but the one in front of them did not roar or reveal its fangs even when being passed around, but just slightly. He twisted a little and made some unexplained grunting noises.

Catherine hugged the demon and comforted it a little. When it stopped shaking, she slowly exhaled and then raised her eyes.

At this moment, this woman who looked like a lady showed a strong murderous intention inexplicably. Her eyes were fixed on Vice President Holk on the stage.

At this time, Vice President Holk also happened to look over.

No one knows why the housekeeper suddenly rushed in with a demon in his arms, and no one knows what the demon has to do with this case. No one knows why Vice Dean Holk is looking at this demon. , and looked at it for such a long time, until his eyes flickered and met Catherine's murderous gaze, he calmed down in an instant, and then turned his head away as if to avoid it.

"What? Are you nervous?"

Seeing his panic, Sherlock smiled.

"I don't understand what you mean, but I've been delayed here for too long. There are countless things waiting for me to deal with in the School of Life Sciences every day, and I don't have time to mess around with you anymore."

With that said, he made a gesture to get up and leave.

However, the next second, a big hand wider than his shoulder pushed him back into his seat.

"Mr. Defendant, as the captain of the Imperial Investigation Team, I also have the obligation of a bailiff here. Now that the judge has not said to adjourn the court, you want to leave so openly. Isn't it a bit inappropriate?"

Tobias suddenly appeared behind the vice dean at some point and said in an extremely cold tone.

A trace of determination flashed in Holker's eyes: "Oh, you guys. Well, I'll sit here for a while, but I also hope that you don't think that you have enough authority to do whatever you want here. If In the end, if you cannot give a reasonable explanation, I will sue you as the vice president of the Academy of Life Sciences! Even if I sue the Pope! I will sue the Emperor! I will seek justice for myself!"

"Of course, this is your right." Hopkins raised his head slightly and looked at the other party condescendingly. He had just ignored him, but now his eyes revealed absolute majesty and the most obvious Disgust: "It won't be long before this trial is over. Please be patient."

Holker's heart was pounding. He had to admit that he was finally a little nervous now, but reason repeatedly emphasized in his mind, don't be afraid! Don’t be afraid at all! Even if they find out everything, so what if they have no evidence!

then!

"Okay!" He snapped: "But again, as the current top leader of the Academy of Life Sciences, my time cannot be wasted casually, so I'll give you another half hour!"

"That's enough, that's enough~" Sherlock said easily: "Then let's get back to the case.

In the last two years of Professor Darwin, due to Duncan's disappearance, he had no choice but to continue to serve as an experimental subject to participate in the training to control [Crimson], but as mentioned before, he was a very talented person. He is a good person, so he can quickly control Crimson to perform many difficult actions, and even fight.

In order to better record the experimental data, Professor Darwin deployed a third-level demon named [Hound] and conducted combat exercises with it to a certain extent. After all, the ultimate purpose of this experiment is to give these demons a stable combat effectiveness and put it into the frontline battlefield.

As for the successful result, after two years of combat training, the old dean has absolute confidence! He knew that his experiment had been successful, and the demon he controlled perfectly matched all the data.

So, three months ago, he finally sent some messages to the outside world for the first time in more than 30 years, preparing to show off his experimental results!

But...it was at this time that Duncan, who had disappeared for more than two years, came back."

Sherlock's tone suddenly became higher:

"No, it shouldn't be said that he is back, but it should be said that he has never left.

He's actually been staying here all this time

You did not hide him, nor transport him out, nor give him a wad of money, so that he could live secretly in a place with few human traces; in fact, from the day he disappeared, you never had him again. There was no interaction with this person, and even Duncan himself no longer had any interaction with this society.

To be honest, I really admire you. Our investigation team has the most professional clue collectors, but when tracking down Duncan, he even had doubts about his ability!

As long as a person lives, he will definitely leave some traces

Even if this person is locked up, someone has to be responsible for delivering food to him. Even if he is anesthetized and stuffed into some life support device, the number of oxygen tubes consumed every day and the nutrient solution transported will definitely leak some flaws.

No one can truly disappear.

And you actually used such a simple and cruel method to achieve it! "

Sherlock's words seemed to be a kind of praise and appreciation, but when he said it, he was extremely cold. Even when he looked at the most vicious criminals, he did not show such an expression.

Then, he slowly turned his head and looked at the small demon that looked cute but was actually terrifyingly miserable. His tone and speed finally dropped a bit:

"Duncan, that's it, he's alive until now."
