The piano music is soothing and smooth, sounding melodiously like the breeze blowing through the curtains.

Everyone present had received relevant training, so people quickly entered the dance floor.

The gentleman who brought a female partner danced with his partner, and the gentleman who did not bring a female partner invited him on the spot. Duke was worthy of being called a social expert, and he quickly hooked up with a girl.

"Did this guy forget that he already had a family in the Three Kingdoms world?" Pan Ming shook his head helplessly.

On the side, Lu Li took another glass of ice wine and speculated: "Maybe the window period was too long. The time span of the world I experienced last time was abnormal. I spent most of the time sleeping, but when I came back, I still felt like I was reborn."

"Well, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot. He is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law, and you are Ding Yuan's son-in-law? What does that girl look like?"

It was rare for Pan Ming to gossip.

"Um."

Obviously, someone didn't want to answer this question and made an ambiguous syllable. Pan Ming stopped asking, but his expression was a little disappointed.

In fact, the two have somewhat similar personalities, except that Lu Li is more receptive and adaptable, while Pan Ming is standard indifferent and is only interested in a few people or things.

Not far away, Harrison and Jones got into a little trouble, and two guards were watching them.

There was no other possibility but Wensley sent them there, firstly to prevent the other party from spreading any dangerous ideas, and secondly to prevent Lu Li from having any further contact with them.

Jones didn't care much about this either.

His family knew his own affairs, and because he had led two movements, he, a nobleman, had successfully been on the official blacklist. He really spent a lot of effort to attend this palace dinner.

"Parade or fight?" He looked at the dance floor and said softly in an unintelligible voice.

Then, Jones began to take deep breaths to calm himself down until his face was expressionless.

Time passes slowly.

Halfway through the dance, the fourth song ended. People on the dance floor scattered around. Some people felt a little tired, so they went to sit on the sofa. Some people felt that there were too many people in the hall and walked into the courtyard to get some fresh air.

Duke and Bai Yu went to the dining table and got some food.

At this moment, most of the people still on the dance floor are young people who are keen on socializing.

In comparison, the more tactful politicians and dignitaries seemed much quieter. They formed a small circle in small groups, communicating with each other, and occasionally chuckled.

"As of now, the two princesses still have no intention of summoning us." Duke cut a piece of French foie gras, dipped some caviar on it, and arranged his clothes while eating.

He had just been invited by a young widowed countess to dance on the dance floor for a while, and with his excellent physical fitness, he stole the show.

As for the harvest…

A business card with the smell of perfume was lying quietly in his pocket, but Duke had no intention of going. He went to the dance floor purely to relax, and he had to find a female partner to go there.

"Wait a minute, they won't send invitations for no reason." Lu Li was not worried that this trip would be fruitless. The fact that he only got to know the leaders of the labor movement made it worthwhile.

In addition, everyone present received an invitation letter, including the young man Mi Gao and Yang Yuanyuan who had parted ways.

Based on this, we can conclude that the royal family must have a request.

"By the way, why didn't Mr. Holmes be invited to tonight's banquet?" Bai Yu looked around and couldn't help but said: "In terms of fame, he is bigger than us who are just starting out."

"Holmes should have an invitation, but he just didn't come." Pan Ming turned the cup in his hand and cast his eyes to the corner of the hall, "I saw Justice Johnny, he is qualified to come, let alone the legendary detective.

"

Among everyone, Pan Ming was the only one who had dealt with the other party, so he would definitely not admit his mistake.

Looking along the line of sight, there is indeed a middle-aged man sitting there alone. Although he failed to catch the murderer of the serial murder case, his reputation accumulated in the past means that he is still included in the invitation.

However, due to traveling through time and space, Pan Ming and Johnny no longer have anything to do with each other and are strangers.

the other side.

The conversation between the two princesses and the chief executive of the Criminal Investigation Department is also coming to an end.

"Seven days have passed since the assassination of the Queen. If Scotland Yard is suddenly involved at this time, things will become very troublesome." Mr. Vincent's tone was full of helplessness.

Then, he realized that as the leader of a law enforcement agency, it was too frustrating to say this, so he softened his tone and said: "We hope that the agency responsible for the investigation can provide relevant clues to Scotland Yard and senior consultants from the private sector.

We understand the situation.”

"In addition...the time may need to be relaxed."

"There is no deadline to solve the case, but the sooner the better, and something needs to be discovered every once in a while."

"Of course." Vincent had no reason or qualification to refuse to intervene in the investigation. After hearing the princess's words, he immediately assured: "Next, Scotland Yard's criminal investigation department will devote all its energy and invite trusted partners to cooperate.

The murderer of Her Majesty the Queen must be identified and brought to justice.”

"As in the East End Serial Murders?"

Helena finally thought about the private investigation team, or in other words, after ending the necessary social interactions, she got down to business again.

"Yes, that case proved the professionalism of the thieves. In some aspects, their sense of smell is more sensitive than the official's."

"Then invite people over."

"Besides them, a well-known private detective in the East District is also in the hall."

"Did he have any help with the East Side Murders?"

"No."

"Then forget it."

Helena is very practical. As long as she can help people with the case, the sooner the results are given, the more pleased Queen Victoria will be -

But it turns out that Johnny is not as good as the investigation team formed by Lu Li.

Of course, this kind of idea is extremely one-sided, but the princess is not deeply involved in the world. To put it nicely, she is high-spirited, but to be honest, she is a bit brainless.

Vincent was helpless. At the same time, he had similar thoughts in his mind. He felt that it didn't matter if he invited Lu Li and others, plus Mr. Holmes, and whether Justice Johnny joined them.

A few minutes later, the old man came to the crowd chatting in the corner. After a few words of warning, he took the lead and walked towards the princess.

Except for the immature boy Mi Gaoshang who was extremely excited, everyone was calm and regarded Princess Helena and Princess Alexandra as NPCs issuing tasks.

Little did they know that this kind of indifferent attitude made people even more impressed. During the chat, they smiled frequently, especially after Bai Yu told a few fresh jokes. The two of them ignored their restraint and laughed wildly.

Many people talked about it.
