[Moriarty of Worrying about the Country] Descartes Formula

"Satanism..." Mycroft's expression also became serious, and he spit out this rare word.Although the girl has never heard of it, she can probably guess what it is. Doesn’t Satan mean the devil? This should be the opposite of ordinary Christianity, evil.teach?evil.Teach what to do with candles in general?It is natural to hold a ceremony, but evil.I'm afraid the ritual taught... Those girls are very dangerous. If there are enough people to perform the ceremony, they must be dead. If the number is not enough, maybe they can be saved.

"Is there any ritual in Satanism, and how many people are needed?" the girl asked, and McCoff obviously knew it, so she looked at McCoff and said. McCoff gave Chris an appreciative look, indicating that she The response was quick. "Traditional Satanic worship rituals generally consist of a group of 13 people. The symbols used are an upside-down cross and two stars with vertical downward points. Black candles are burned and made of corrosion, human feces, and women's blood essence. Communion bread. Satanism is different in different countries, and what I know is generally to summon Satan’s evil spirits in an attempt to gain special powers.”

"There are currently 10 people missing in the town, which means there is still some time before the ceremony is held." The girl pointed this out, and then said to Sherlock who seemed to be thinking about something, "If you don't show any more, I'll send you a message." You have been robbed of your work, huh?"

Hearing this, Sherlock raised his head and said dissatisfiedly, "I know how to find the mastermind behind the scenes." Then he whispered a few words in McCoff's ear, and McCoff nodded. When the three of them were about to leave here, Suddenly heard a faint whimpering, Chris's ears were the sharpest, and she immediately recognized that it was a sound from underwater, because the propagation of sound through water would be somewhat different from normal propagation.

However, no one would really go down such a dirty lake. Anyway, the girl with a little bit of cleanliness didn't want to go down. Standing on the edge was a bit unbearable. Sherlock also roughly guessed the source of the sound. If there is no place to hide in the dense forest, there is only the most obvious but least suspicious place. Under the dirty lake, even if you have doubts, you probably won't go down because of a little doubt.

However, even though he thought of it like the girl, Sherlock still turned his attention to McCoff, and McCoff nodded to express his understanding. After all, he is still a bit of a gentleman. Chris is a girl, and she is still a wounded person. Going into the water might affect the injury, and Xia Li is a child, so he wouldn't let his younger brother go down, and just watch by himself.

However, it is inevitable that the children of the nobles are more or less obsessed with cleanliness. Mycroft looked at the dirty lake and was a little entangled. The girl first stood by the lake and squatted down, and took out the bag that she had just put in her pocket. One of the small bottles in the bottle was poured into the edge of the lake, and the golden-orange liquid suddenly floated on the dirty water. The girl then lit a match and threw it on. The floating garbage and leaves have been emptied, although it is only a small area.

But at least there was a place to go down, and then the girl broke off a relatively long branch from a nearby tree and put it into the water to measure the depth of the lake. As we all know, the law of refraction of light can use visual depth to estimate the actual depth.

The girl made some estimates, and then asked about McCoff's physical strength. The swimming speed is generally how much distance in one minute. She also tested the temperature of the water with her fingers in disgust. McCoff blinked and said something. perhaps.

"Fortunately, the weather is not too cold today. The temperature of this kind of water is only a little lower than that of the human body, and it is acceptable to lurk for a certain period of time. With your speed and the depth of this water, you can dive to the bottom in about 2-3 minutes. Since it is Hearing the sound, it is very likely that there are other Tibetans underwater, and it will take 2-3 minutes to find it, and then it will be time to come back. Hurry up." The girl pulled the pocket watch hanging on Megoff's body and opened it to take a look. time said.

"I see." Mycroft looked at what was cleared by Chris, and jumped into the water within an acceptable range. Xia Li also glanced at the time and the water surface, "How is the depth of the water measured?" "The law of refraction of light, you haven't learned it yet, right? This should be an introduction to physics." There is no distinction between physics and chemistry. Although she is proficient in chemistry, she still knows the basic laws of physics.

"I'm not yet old enough to go to school." Sherlock argued that noble children usually go to school at the age of 13. Before that, they were taught by tutors at home. However, in schools in this era, the courses are physiology, anatomy, and logic. Science, Mathematics, Mechanics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Geology, Biology and Social Sciences, Psychology and Education, History, Literature and Art, etc.Generally speaking, it is quite comprehensive.However, tutors will certainly not be able to teach so comprehensively. At most, they will teach regular courses such as literature, art, history, and mathematics.This category of natural science is not given much attention now.

"Yeah." The girl replied vaguely, "So why do you carry oil with you?" Sherlock felt that there would always be a lot of questions to ask when he was with Chris, "Because I was afraid before I came. Just ran into the murderer behind the scenes, this is a forest, just pour some oil on it and start a fire, and you can run away."

What can Sherlock say, she is really a strange woman, but she is very quick-witted, and she can adapt to any difficult situation without being afraid.

"What about the other bottle, I see you have another one with you." Sherlock asked chatteringly, "You'll know when you need it, and don't need to say it if you don't need it. This is my secret. One of the weapons." The girl replied indifferently, she has seen the dangers of this era, and she is not at ease going out without making some self-defense items to carry with her.

There was movement on the surface of the water, the girl looked over, and after coming out of the water, Mycroft, who coughed a few times, shook off the water on his hands and head before saying, "There is indeed a cave at the bottom of the water, and there is a staircase going up, and there seems to be no water on it. Well, when I got to the top of that route, I heard the voices of other people inside, it should be the murderer, this time the case was committed by a group. So I came back before they found out."

"En." The girl nodded, took out another complete map of the town, circled the place where the lake is located, and then asked McCoff, who had recovered a little from panting, roughly which direction it was heading ,How much rice.

Mycroft glanced at the map, took the girl's pen and drew it, "Well, when the time comes to search there, we should be able to rescue those missing girls." The girl nodded, and it didn't look like McCoff People regardless of north and south, since they can find out the direction and distance, that area must be able to search for the place where the detainee is held.

Now that the location of the hostages and how to find the murderer have been determined, the girl clapped her hands, "Then I'll go home first, it's getting dark soon, if I don't go back, my father will accuse me again." "Okay, Leave the rest to me." Sherlock nodded, the next thing needs to be done by an adult, and it's useless to take Chris.

The girl went home directly in the carriage, and Mycroft also sent a signal and activated the guards to rescue and arrest people.

After dinner at home, Sherlock and Mycroft came back. Mr. Holmes was a little more embarrassed. After all, he was still staying at his house in the middle of the night. Why did his two sons run out? .

The girl didn't explain it, otherwise Earl Cork would have to say that she was messing around again.

"Chris, they were caught, and the girls were rescued." Sherlock rushed in very happily, and was taught by Mr. Holmes, "Why are you running? You have to be respectful in the Earl's house. You are so loud. Yelling is really rude." Mr. Holmes tapped Sherlock's back with his cane, causing him to correct his posture immediately, and nodded, but still couldn't hide his excitement.

"Chris, what's going on? What did you go to do this afternoon?" Earl Kirk always felt that something was wrong, what to catch and what to save?

"Cough, cough, cough." The girl quickly let out a strong cough, and her face turned pale. "Father, it hurts so much, my hand."

Earl Kirk immediately said anxiously, "I'll call the doctor." He forgot to ask for accountability, and he forgot to ask the maid to call. Who made Chris his precious daughter.

Seeing the Earl of Cork leaving, Sherlock said excitedly, "The previous inferences are correct. It is a group of commoners and a leading little nobleman who jointly arrested those girls and wanted to engage in Satanic rituals. On the road in the town We caught the person who was patrolling the spot and wanted to catch the next one. The people in that stronghold were also arrested. The missing girls were all rescued, and my brother asked the guards to send them home. They were all interrogated and there were no other accomplices. , This time the case was solved, and I won. Should you teach me?"

The girl smiled slightly and shook her head, "It doesn't count if you can't talk." Sherlock was dumbfounded, and his hair stood up, "I suggest you go to the town to investigate the rumors about Lucia and the people around her."

"Who is Lucia?" Sherlock blinked suspiciously, it wasn't the name of any missing girl, "It's the name of the girl who jumped into the lake to commit suicide in that lake. Do you think such rumors spread, especially Is there really no connection in choosing that position?" the girl reminded.

Although there is no strong information network, the girl still asked a lot of gossip when she asked the maid. When she asked those people during the day, they actually have one thing in common. They are the same age as Lucia, and many of them are even hers. Playmates, but Lucia died, but they were alive. Anyway, Chris lived here since she was a child, and she is familiar with the people in the town. Although they are not friends, but for the small group they often gather together Also seen a few times.

So at that time, the girl felt that she must have some connection with Lucia during this period. Would a normal person run to jump into such a dirty river?Unless it was forced, that is to say, it was not suicide, there may have been a lot involved during this period, and the girl was not sure whether those girls were innocent or were angered. Anyway, the person who took the shot must have something to do with Lucia.

Although Sherlock didn't have the experience of a girl who had read novels for many years and had a lot of experience, he still understood after being pointed out, "Tsk, it's so troublesome." However, he ran out anyway, and McCoff had to change his clothes again. Going out with my wayward brother is the final finishing touch.

"Chris, the doctor is here." Earl Kirk ran back and pulled the doctor's sleeve and brought him to the girl, and then said with a puzzled face, "Hey, where are the two young masters, have they already left?"

"They said something, so they left first." Mr. Holmes, who was sitting aside and witnessed everything, smiled silently, and then picked up the top hat and cane on the sofa and said goodbye to Earl Cork, "You have a wonderful daughter. Ah, this time I will take my leave first, and I will contact you when I have something to do."
