The British Museum has fallen into a panic atmosphere. The exhibits of the world's No. 1 museum are disappearing one by one like encountering ghosts. It is not just a panic problem.

However, no matter how many police and security forces there are, there is no way to solve this problem.

In the end, Britain had to do everything it could, and even recruited Britain's most legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes.

The story of Sherlock Holmes is widely circulated among the people, but people think that this is an artistic and realistic story of a detective. In fact, it is just a novel, but only professionals know that Holmes is a real person.

At 221B Baker Street, London, 64-year-old Holmes has not appeared for a long time. After several twists and turns, Holmes is back, but now Holmes is old.

However, although Holmes is old, he is still sharp. Even if his body begins to become dark, he can't stop his sharp eyes.

"Rare guest, why is the Sheriff looking for me?"

"I know who you are, so I do have a difficult case to ask you. Now the whole London authorities are worried about this matter. The thing is, about three months ago, the cultural relics of the British Museum were stolen...

If it is a common theft, you just need to search for it. The stolen cultural relics disappeared directly, that is, they suddenly disappeared in front of you. Now it has been three months, and cultural relics continue to disappear every day, even the cultural relics in the warehouse are the same...

There are no clues, no footprints, fingerprints, no clues, no witnesses, and now the police in the whole London are going crazy. If you want to laugh, laugh!"

The chief of the London Police Department did not mean to be polite, and he told half of the cause and effect in one go.

Although the police have begun to use various technologies to identify cases with the development of the times, when they encounter problems where technology is useless, they still need to find experts to solve the problem.

There is no doubt that Sherlock Holmes is such a master.

"I find your explanation very interesting. Take me to the scene. By the way, have someone count all the missing collections. I need a list."

"We are already counting, but the list is updated every day, so it is difficult to count." The police in London are not fools. They have already had plans in this regard.

"Let's go now without further ado." Holmes got on the police car again and rushed to the scene.

The British Museum is now closed. Surrounded by police, Holmes walked into the museum. Many police officers did not know this old man. Although he looked old, he was still strong.

There were obvious marks in front of the exhibition stands of the missing exhibits. Basically, they disappeared in rows in order. And according to the order, the police could even see the exhibits disappear in front of them in the predetermined order.

"If nothing unexpected happens, this row of exhibits will disappear next." The director pointed to a row of exhibits with additional marks. If nothing unexpected happens, these pieces will disappear today.

"Can you open it and observe it closely?"

"This is a very precious porcelain. You can observe it but be careful." Theoretically, it is not allowed to open the protective cover and handle it closely, but the problem now is not the problem of handling it closely, but the strange case that is about to disappear.

"What will happen if I break it?" Holmes did not give up and continued to ask.

"You..." The guard next to him wanted to greet Holmes with a word starting with F at this time. The director told you that it is very precious, don't you understand?

"I will turn a blind eye." The director responded helplessly.

Holmes never sticks to details when handling cases. Since he asked this question, he probably really planned to take action. The director can only pretend to be dead. If it doesn't work, he will argue with the museum!

Hearing the director's answer, Holmes smashed the vase without hesitation, and then the vase was broken into pieces like normal ceramics.

The crisp sound attracted the attention of all the police and security guards around, but Holmes seemed to have no awareness at all. He lay on the ground and began to carefully observe the fractured surface of the porcelain.

There is no doubt that the fractured surface is also natural and there is no problem at all. Even if someone glared at Holmes, it did not prevent Holmes from groping for his increasingly sparse beard and exploring without paying attention to others.

Of course, the elderly Holmes had to use a magnifying glass to observe. He lay there for half an hour, and then Holmes witnessed the gradual disappearance of these fragments with his own eyes.

Holmes looked through a series of records on the spot. Obviously, this matter had become a big deal.It has become so serious that there is a room full of files. The police originally suspected that it was a case of internal staff and some bandits working together, but after witnessing the disappearance of exhibits many times, they were at a loss.

"Is it possible that these exhibits you saw no longer exist? So they disappeared at a certain time?"

Holmes thought for a long time and asked.

"This is impossible. You even broke one of these exhibits with your own hands just now. We can touch and feel it. There is no problem with the scientific instrument test. So how can it not exist?"

Of course, the director did not believe it.

"I think all these things we feel are fake. Just because you see sunlight as white doesn't mean it is white. What we see, touch, and instrument detect, doesn't exist in the first place?"

"Only this explanation can explain why these exhibits disappeared, because they didn't exist in the first place, so isn't it normal for them to disappear later?"

"After eliminating all possibilities, the final result left, no matter how incredible, is the correct answer. Vision can deceive us, touch can fool us, but logic will not change. Correct logic is still correct logic."

Holmes's narration suddenly stunned the director and a group of police officers.

"But..."

"No buts, do you think there is a problem with this logic? Look, there are no footprints, no clues, and they disappear directly in front of you. Could it be that you think these exhibits are actually gone? They have been gone for a long time, but in order not to be discovered so quickly, they will gradually disappear?"

Holmes was also very surprised. For the first time, Holmes, who had no clues, had to rely on logic to promote the development of the case.

"If this premise is true, then all problems will seem a little simpler..."

"Well, there is a god in reality who has indeed taken these exhibits away, leaving behind a projection, and then the projection began to disappear... Does this assumption make the disappearance of the exhibits reasonable?"
