Whitehall Street, a world-renowned street, connects the Palace of Westminster and Downing Street, and brings together government agencies such as foreign affairs, home affairs, and the navy.

Therefore, the guard is relatively strict.

"I was invited by Scotland Yard to discuss the matter."

"private detective?"

"That's right."

After hearing this, the royal guard briefly checked the documents and then let him go.

"Which batch is this?"

"Since it was our turn to stand guard, there have been thirteen, no, fourteen carriages."

The two soldiers wearing high crowns talked in a low voice, and then invariably raised their eyes to look ahead.

"I bet a pound that we will definitely go to No. 4 again. What are those guys from the Criminal Investigation Department doing? Whenever we encounter a difficult case, we have to ask the public."

"It may be possible to recruit and train another two thousand professional police officers to stop this situation. London is too big, especially in the East End, where there are all kinds of refugees."

The royal guards did not know the inside story about the case that Scotland was having trouble with, and they did not want to speculate. After a few words of conversation, they calmed down and stood at the entrance like door gods.

ahead.

"I'm curious, how many familiar people can I see there? I'm afraid there aren't many natives."

Duke was driving a carriage, which was a new piece of equipment he had purchased from the market in the afternoon, with a total value of thirty pounds.

Obviously, he robbed the rich and gave to the poor.

In the semi-convertible car, Lu Li was admiring the sculptures on both sides of the road and said casually: "We don't care who we team up with. It doesn't matter whether we have a collaborator or not. The most important thing is Mr. Holmes."

【I have done my duty】

These are the words printed on the base of a stele, and there are majestic lion statues on each side of it.

Lu Li thought they were very interesting.

"Portrait of Lord Nelson."

Duke seemed to be very knowledgeable and knew about its history. While driving, he learned about it: "He once led a team to resist the French navy under Emperor Napoleon. Unfortunately, during a battle, his spine was broken by a sniper."

"On his deathbed, the Lord covered his face with a handkerchief to prevent the morale of the army from wavering, and said his last words, 'I have done my duty.'"

"Later, when the British army defeated France, they unloaded the French ship-borne bronze cannon and transported it back to the mainland to be melted and used to cast the statue of Lord Lord."

"A sculpture made from a sword?"

This was not the first time Lu Li had heard of this kind of thing, and he said to himself: "It feels like the First Emperor's 'sold off the Dysprosium and cast it into the Twelve Golden Figures'."

During the conversation, the carriage was about to turn into Whitehall Street.

The royal guard did not intercept, but asked from a distance, "Who is it?"

"Private detective." Duke responded.

Then, the two passed smoothly.

No. 4 Whitehall Street, at the head of the long narrow street, is where the headquarters of Scotland Yard are located.

It is a slightly old three-story brick house with a black roof, and ivy is spiraling up along the gaps. It may be due to the season, or it may be that the fog makes it difficult to see the sun all year round, and the stems and veins look dry and brown.

"This place is really bleak. If it weren't for the police officers wearing high helmets standing guard, reminding us that this is a serious place, it would be difficult for outsiders to recognize it as the police headquarters of an international metropolis."

Duke couldn't restrain his talkative nature and kept talking.

Lu Li looked ahead and saw a senior police superintendent walking down the stairs and waving to them.

"Are you two private investigators here to help solve the case?"

"Yes, I read the newspaper a few days ago, and it said that Scotland Yard needs help from enthusiastic citizens."

After hearing Lu Li's answer, a more sincere smile appeared on the superintendent's face.

For some reason, the detectives who came to assist with the investigation recently were extremely polite.

The quality of people engaged in this industry has become higher.

Wensley and his colleagues generally think so.

"You two, please come with me. The carriage will be parked by a dedicated person, so don't worry."

"grateful."

After finishing his words, Duke added a sentence in his mind:

Mr. Wensley.

Yes, this is another old acquaintance.

Not only did Duke know him, but Lu Li also knew him.

During the entrance exam, the first public official Lu Li came into contact with was Wensley. At that time, he was just a junior police officer and invited Mr. Detective to serve as a special consultant.

Frankly speaking, Lu Li really didn't expect to see each other again in this way.

At the same time, there was a feeling in my heart that "after seeing each other for three days, I was even more impressed."

The young man who vomited himself after describing the condition of the corpse has transformed into a senior police superintendent and looks much more mature.

"Just call me Wensley."

"plz follow me."

If Scotland Yard only encountered a trivial case, there would be no need to alarm so many people, let alone a police superintendent to act so enthusiastically.

The case of Jack the Ripper?

Lu Li lowered his head and thought. He did not take the liberty to ask Wensley. After all, today is different from the past.

In this world, the famous detective in the foggy city is Charlotte Holmes, and Lu Li is just a surgeon taking the first step towards a detective career.

As for Duke, he was not a respected professor at King's College.

In other words.

No matter how deep the network of relationships established in Fog City was during the entrance exam, it will have no effect here. It is equivalent to starting over and starting a new life.

Of course, Lu Li felt that there was nothing to lose about being a nobody, as long as other candidates started at the same starting point as him.

In an office.

The chief officer of Scotland Yard's Criminal Investigation Department, Mr. Vincent, was rubbing his eyebrows. Although he was unwilling to admit it, the fact was there:

He is old and no longer has much energy to serve the city.

However, with the establishment of the Criminal Investigation Department, social security problems have not been alleviated, but have become increasingly serious.

Especially recently, murder cases have been emerging one after another, and the criminal methods are extremely cruel. Even the most experienced police detectives are scared out of their wits, let alone other police officers.

Knock knock knock——

There was a sudden knock on the door.

"Please come in."

With that said, Vincent sat up straight. He didn't want his men to see his fatigue.

As the door was pushed open, Wensley quickly walked to the desk and reported: "Sir, there are two more burglars outside, one of whom is a member of the Surgical Association."

Surgeon?

Hope it works.

When he thought of the crime scene, which was a weird and perverted scene, Vincent couldn't help but want to sigh, and the anticipation in his heart disappeared instantly.

However, when the police are unable to solve the case, they can only treat the case as a dead horse.

at the same time.

Scotland Yard's large conference room was overcrowded. A large number of private detectives sensed business opportunities and came here specifically, hoping to establish cooperative relations with official organizations.

Among them, there are local residents and some from across the country.

Along the way, Lu Li didn't realize much, but Duke, the social butterfly, was different. He once claimed that the faces of the three hundred people in the entire grade were all imprinted in his mind.

Girls are no exception.

Looking at the slender girl wearing a windbreaker in front of him, Duke smiled and greeted, "What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet her here."

"Yes." Yang Yuanyuan nodded, with a look of surprise on her face.

She hasn't seen Duke or Lu Li since the entrance exam, especially the latter. If she hadn't always heard about each other's glorious achievements, she might have forgotten that such people existed.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

After entering the school, the first person Lu Li met was Duke, and the second person was Yang Yuanyuan. If his memory was correct, this girl should have been assigned to the elite second class initially.

Because of this, he took the initiative to say hello.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

The two people's eyes were misaligned.
