[Comprehensive] Aunt sweeping the floor

The person named Sherlock didn't show much expression.At this time, Catherine had already walked into the hall, regardless of his business. —— Sherlock always likes to add trouble to Moriarty.

After entering the foyer, someone identified the playing cards Catherine had brought.Many people who came in this batch used platinum or gold as the material of the playing cards.Catherine glanced at it. There are modern styles of 3D printing, as well as abstract and impressionist styles. From this, the personal style and status of the guests can be felt somewhat.

For example, the man standing on the left of Catherine has a short, fat body and looks very inconspicuous.A three-piece suit on his body did not show the scale of an old-fashioned gentleman at all, but made his figure even more desolate.However, such a person wears valuable cuffs and pocket watches.Even the lighter he took out was a limited edition.

——This should be a businessman, engaged in arms_fire and the like.Although the lighter in his hand is a high-end custom, there is a dark red blood on the trousers, which obviously looks like he just killed someone.Judging from the blood splatter, Catherine made up a bloody story on her own.

However, there were many talents present, and Catherine was not the only one who noticed this detail.In short, the impression score of this big guy has definitely dropped a bit.

The man standing obliquely behind Catherine was tall and thin, wearing an exaggerated champagne suit.Although he hadn't opened his mouth yet, that kind of exotic atmosphere came over his face as soon as he entered.It is probably not a joke to say that Moriarty's sphere of influence spreads across Europe, and Napoleon's name in the criminal world is simply shining.

Catherine's attention was noticed by the other party.The tall man made a funny salute.Catherine smiled back—the man was a drug lord.It seems that he and the fat man standing in front can form a pair of fat and thin tutuo no matter in terms of height, weight or scope of work.

The two showed their poker cards to the instructor, both of which were king cards. After seeing Catherine's king cards, the three were assigned to the same banquet reception area.

"Hey! Ms.! What are you doing? Maybe you know some details of the banquet, so you can tell me?" The thin man rapped with his voice, causing Catherine and the fat man beside him to frown.

"I think we can wait and see, after all, this is a surprise left to us by the master." Catherine said very conservatively.

The particularity of this banquet is that it is not a pure friendship, nor is it a chance for the upper class to be married.

The fundamental purpose of Moriarty holding the poker banquet is to encourage transactions between each other and make the network of interests more detailed and close.

You only need to look at the guests coming and going in this scene. The female companions brought by the male guests are all empty-handed, wearing beautiful dresses, and walking on stilt-like high-heeled shoes.And there are only a few women who dress up neatly, and only those few women are really here to do business.

The essential thing to participate in a transaction is to have a bargaining chip.Most of the people present carried safes of different sizes, which were not the main commodities, but just some samples.

In other words, if there were superheroes, they would probably be frightened by such a large-scale crime.Who knows whether the suitcase of the person walking towards him will be beating human organs, or some anti-human scientific research creation?

As far as Catherine knew, there was a period of time when the medicine promoted by the laboratory and extracted from the bodies of supernatural beings could help the rich stay young forever.

However, some people believed such nonsense, so for a long time, wild supernatural beings were almost extinct.The few vagrants also sought official asylum.Groups like William's Cowardly Club were then and are unique.

"It's a bit unreasonable, ma'am, maybe you'd like to tell me what your bargaining chips are?" The thin man persisted in wanting an answer.He guessed it was really like what he described, and it was the first time he participated in such an occasion.

This kind of person is usually the target of Catherine's service-the stall is large enough, generally sophisticated, but occasionally makes some things that go wrong, and someone needs to clean up.But it is not wise to reveal the hole cards too early, Catherine smiled: "I think I have enough paper cards to cover up the chips."

"Really? Really... To be honest, you don't look like a participant. I was really surprised when I saw that you were at the king level."

"Then what do I look like? A female guest? Or a bartender woman? Well... I know that means something. But you didn't think of it just because you didn't know some of the top guests. Like Professor Moriarty... Take me for example. You will find that many villains are handsome and beautiful, and have a very high charisma."

The three of them walked a few steps and reached the edge of the dance floor representing the king.The design and color of the king was paved on the ground with marble, and the fine and huge floor tiles looked very domineering.To a certain extent, this also showed the guests Moriarty's unfathomable, after all, you don't know when he started planning such a large-scale event.

Catherine said this, and took a glass of elephant soldiers from the waiter's tray: "Professor!"

"Professor!" "Professor!"

Both the fat man and the thin man raised their cups and said so in a reverent tone.In this way, who would have thought that Catherine had never met Moriarty?

Then Catherine started a lively discussion with two other guys whose industry styles were irrelevant-this kind of banquet transaction was not limited to peers.Even following that sentence, peers are enemies, and everyone wants to expand their business. In this way, cross-bank cooperation is the most popular method.

Catherine does not accept physical crime.If she had to classify her work, Catherine would first refuse to define what she was doing as a crime.Secondly... her work is more inclined to information processing and risk transfer, rather than the aesthetics of fighting and killing without dying.

After one round of investigation and two rounds of investigation.The three tacitly decided to turn over a few cards to see if each other's chips were equal, but at this time, there was a little commotion at the back entrance.

Catherine turned around in surprise.She thought that Holmes had finally started to cause trouble, and was going to create a commotion before the banquet began.But when she turned her head, she was surprised to see a person who shouldn't be here.

——Inspector Lestrade nervously took out a card that is common in the streets and alleys.This is a card in the true sense, so that the staff was very surprised to bend the material of the card, hoping that this is some kind of hand-painted artwork, or a rare bone piece for coloring.

But what was disappointing was that it was really a playing card, the kind that was mass-produced in a printing factory, and it wasn't even a magic prop.

The staff members had weird expressions, and the inspector was already uneasy in such a place. After the guests noticed this detail, they all showed strange eyes to Lestrade.

So, when Catherine turned her head, she felt that the inspector looked pitiful under the gaze of the crowd, like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Catherine hadn't wanted to bother with the matter.First of all, she doesn't know the detective very well, and taking over a cop's mess is just plain dumb.And Sherlock is still outside, with his smart brain, it won't make Lestrade's death unclear.

But there are always people who don't want Catherine in peace.At this time, Catherine's cell phone vibrated.She flipped open the screen saver and found that it was Mycroft's remote command.

——Help me take care of the inspector...a favor. m h

Catherine's expression changed when she saw it, but she really couldn't refuse the temptation that Mycroft owed her a favor.When necessary, there are too many things that a favor can do.

What's more, the fat man hasn't said anything like asking Catherine to help Sherlock.The actual operation is not difficult.

Catherine weighed everything in the blink of an eye.She said sorry to the two people beside her, and walked quickly to the inspector's side.

"This is my male companion. I thought an innocuous joke was still acceptable?" Thankfully, the inspector's face was good enough, as was the clothes he was wearing today. Catherine felt that Leisi It's not a shame for Traide to be his male companion.

The staff accepts that no trump card can be easily offended.But where his duty lies, he still asked one more question: "Sir, are you together?"

"Ah...yes. Just like Kay..."

"I thought you had to call me left at this time, otherwise it would be against the rules." Catherine interrupted Lestrade's wrong way of selling his name.She apologized and said to the staff: "My male partner is an outsider, and I thought I would let him know about my job."

Because of a favor from Mycroft, Catherine felt that she was going crazy too.Keep Lestrade at the risk of losing points in the eyes of his peers.Well, there is still a little element of showing weakness to the enemy.

Catherine walked over and took hold of the inspector with a stiff expression. She clearly read from the way Lestrade looked at her: Why are you here? What the hell is left?You are their colleague!

Sure enough, after walking a few steps, the inspector lowered his voice and said angrily, "I didn't expect you to be engaged in this kind of work! Miss Catherine, you've only been in London for a long time, and you've been hanging out with these people!"

"Be careful." Catherine nodded to the passing 'kings' with a cold expression.He whispered: "If you observe carefully, it is not difficult to find that you are surrounded by danger. Big Sherlock Holmes asked me to take care of you. Of course, I also hope that you can go out with all your needs. So... be obedient, okay?" !"

Catherine's tone was simply coaxing a child.However, the inspector found sadly that he really had no way to resist such Catherine.Especially in the case of already deep into the tiger's den.Maybe Catherine is more likely to be an agent?

Catherine rolled her eyes inwardly.She is not a worker like an undercover agent.Which agent would reveal his current position for a little policeman?

However, in this banquet, there should be no shortage of agents from various forces.
