[Zhongyingmei] After inheriting the throne

Watson's reminder is good.However, participating in this exhibition did not take them too much effort.

Mrs. Doyle directly asked Francis to arrange a private space. Before the official opening of the exhibition, they came to the scene that night.

Probably the happiness of the rich is so simple and unpretentious.

Mrs. Doyle finally saw the jug they had been looking for for a long time.It was placed on the booth, covered with a glass cabinet, and with a dozen lights, it was illuminated with such a sense of elegance and luxury.

Francis walked to the side, holding a tablet in his hand and kept beating and sliding. He was combining the current results, deriving in reverse, trying to investigate the path of the water tank.

Originally, if there hadn't been the disappearance of the rich man, they could have just taken the jug and left. At worst, they would just spend more money.

But now, the rich man's experience reminds them that the jug has played its role in the process of circulation, affecting one or some people.They have to deal with the subsequent impact.

Francis stepped aside, connected to the cloud computing, and established a basic network of contacts.

Holmes looked around the jug for a long time, but he couldn't see anything special about it except that it was expensive.

And Merlin and Galahad, the two spies pretending to be staff sent by the higher-level unit, also looked around the jug very enthusiastically.

It suddenly occurred to Holmes that, in the previous description, the water in the jug would appear in rainbow-like colors.

By the way, what is this exhibition about?

Watson saw Holmes' face and knew that he wanted to get started.This is not something the two bachelors who are renting together can afford to pay, so he hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

On this side, as soon as he held Holmes' hand, he turned around and saw Mrs. Doyle giving a new order to Francis behind her, "Buy this jar first."

Fortunately, this exhibition is not an exhibition of historical objects, but an exhibition of stylish arts and crafts.Under the effect of money-making ability, Mrs. Doyle quickly became the current titular owner of the gold pitcher in the official sense.

So she graciously let Holmes take up the jug.She asked by the way, "Mr. Holmes, do you know what is the connection between that rich man and this pitcher?"

At any rate, this is also the object that Belle let entrust, there must be some real material, right now they are stuck on this level, so there is no need for it.

Holmes was excitedly adding water to the jug, waiting to see the legendary transformation.

With just one jar, even Holmes himself could not deduce the whole thing from beginning to end.

Fortunately, Merlin and Galahad on the other side are finally online.They pretended that the official organization gave some internal information, and contributed as much information as they could find in a short period of time.

With the help of this information, Holmes quickly drew a map, outlined the intersection of this jug and the missing rich man, and judged that he should have come into contact with this jug at a club party Can.

Mrs. Doyle couldn't help frowning when she heard that.This is the first time she has shown obvious negative emotions on such an occasion.

There are many people that can be involved in the club.

If more people drank the water in it, and if there were any disappearance cases, London would become lively.

Mrs. Doyle thought so, but she thanked Holmes at last, saying that the commission would be completed when the jug was found.

She gestured to Merlin and Galahad with her eyes, planning to screen out the possible victims one by one after taking the jug back.

But Holmes would not stop there.He could see that between Mrs. Doyle and the spies of the two unknown agencies, there was still some secret about this incident.Although he can't see through this secret now, he doesn't want to miss it.

Sherlock Holmes is indeed an excellent detective, he has a smart brain and keen observation skills.However, how to say this matter is also a matter of mysterious measurement.Therefore, it is definitely not appropriate for him to join in and continue exploring.

Presumably his elder brother who worked for the British government would not agree to let his blood-related younger brother get involved in such an extremely unstable circle.

Mrs. Doyle refused.But Holmes had his own ideas.

In the end, Watson dragged Holmes back to Baker Street, while Mrs. Doyle and Merlin left in two ways, and then reunited.

Merlin is a reliable quartermaster, intelligence officer, and logistics expert. He has compiled the membership list of the club long before the meeting started.

The name of the local tycoon who lived in the building of London really appeared on the list.

Relying on the monitoring records, they screened out the members who had recently been with the rich man, and narrowed down the number of people who might have come into contact with the water tank to the minimum.

The next step is to split up.Merlin and Galahad set off to contact the people on the list through various channels to observe whether there was any abnormality in them.For example, from a state of illness to suddenly becoming healthy and worry-free, or recovering some youthful appearance from an aging appearance, or some more subjective and internal changes.

Merlin's eyes were vicious, and he passed through all the dozen or so people on the list at once.Fortunately, most of these people should not drink much water, so this change is probably not obvious to the extent that advanced beauty care can achieve.

The heaviest one should be the missing rich man who made the social news.

This made Mrs. Doyle feel relieved a lot.

"The situation is still under control. Their bodies have not been baptized by spring water, they will not be dependent, and there will be no side effects. The effect is one-time, and it is like giving them a high-level maintenance. gone."

"However, since they are insiders, they must deal with it." She said this to Francis.

The so-called treatment is to make them forget about the "jug" and the "spring water".

Francis nodded.He has arranged the corresponding channels and paths, and set up the hypnosis video.As long as they turn on their electronic devices and watch videos, those special memories will be unknowingly covered up.

But what about the rich man?

According to Mrs. Doyle's explanation, this curse-like blessing is irreversible.

Relying on the identities fabricated by Merlin and Galahad, they took over the case and got the key "porcelain doll".

Kingsman inevitably felt uncomfortable when he thought that the porcelain puppet was made by the rich man himself.

They're action movies. As for horror movies, that's fine.

As everyone knows, Mrs. Doyle is also worried.She and the Porcelain Queen are not in a completely fused relationship. If you want to find her memory, you have to search carefully from the vast century-old life movie.

Based on her general understanding of the story, she has locked the search scope in those life-changing years, but the workload of pulling the film is still heavy.

This rich man is probably about the same age.And at this age, people know to take care of themselves and do something to prolong their life.He was a little greedy, and scooped water from the jug several times, reaching the so-called "longevity" standard.

But compared with the real world, this "Longevity" is like installing software into an incompatible system.Therefore, the rules of the world made "Longevity" be produced in a way that fits the kingdom of porcelain dolls, and he became a porcelain doll.

Even if his body is broken, as long as it is repaired, he will enjoy an endless lifespan.

Mrs. Doyle could not say anything to accuse the other party of being greedy.

The most urgent task is how to find out how to turn the porcelain doll back into a living person.

Trapped in the porcelain doll for too long, I don't know if the other party has his own meaning.If he saw himself sober and unable to move, he would probably go crazy before long.

In response, Mrs. Doyle took out a candle.This candle looks very ordinary in appearance, in the fairy tale world, it is just an ordinary candle.But in the real world, the legendary nature of the story endows it with the ability to see reality.

Mrs. Doyle lit this candle, and had all the other lights put out.

Then, everyone saw that the figure of the porcelain puppet resting on the table was blurred for a moment in the dancing candlelight, and then there was a crisp sound.

The porcelain doll moved by itself.

He struggled to move his heavy body, and tried to stand up from the table, then, looking at Mrs. Doyle, he begged him, "I know I'm too greedy. I beg you to help me change back to the original look."

Galahad opened his mouth.

It turned out that there really was a living soul inside.

He couldn't help turning his head to look at Mrs. Doyle.Mrs. Doyle was holding the porcelain puppet she carried with her in her arms, but the porcelain puppet in her hand did not respond to the candlelight, and it really looked like an ordinary puppet.

Mrs. Doyle looked at the porcelain puppet that was praying to her, and asked in a deep voice, "So, are you willing to give up this longevity?"

"Yes, I am willing." The porcelain puppet threw down on the edge of the table excitedly, "I want to return to my original life."

Even if he is an old man on the verge of death, and he can only live for the few years or ten years he can see, he is still very rich and a respectable figure in the upper class.

No matter how you think about it, the hundreds of thousands of years trapped in the body of the porcelain doll may not be a gift from a god, but rather a curse from a demon.

"I heard your wish," said Mrs. Doyle, and she blew out the candle again.

Inside, the lights were turned back on.

Merlin was the first to ask, "Mrs. Doyle, why don't you light up for a while longer?" In this way, maybe more information can be obtained and clearer clues can be analyzed.

"It takes a lot of energy to make the porcelain doll speak and act." Mrs. Doyle changed into the same beautiful clothes today, and she was in a good mood, so she patiently explained, "Otherwise, an old man like him can support Not too long."

This is true.Otherwise, Regal Porcelain Puppet would have spoken long ago, and he wouldn't just lie around and wait for himself to appear on the social page.

Just then, a phone ringing ruined the atmosphere of the scene.

Francis picked it up under Mrs. Doyle's signal, and Watson's panicked voice came from the opposite side, "It's bad, Sherlock has become a porcelain puppet."
