Chapter 429

"Welcome back - I heard that the Round Table brought those detectives to see the scene?"

"Well, I went there mainly to exchange information with those people I couldn't meet in person before." Lansemello hung his coat on the hanger and answered Marisbury, "Then I can come back to discuss the future arrangements with you - after all, if you leave too early, sometimes there will be problems, right?"

"What happened?" Roman poked his head in from the living room door. "The deputy director looks a little serious."

"It's not related to the serial murder case handled by the Round Table. Fujimaru has already gone there with Mash. Lenis, Velvet, and Edmund are also there. Don't worry about that." Lansemello sat down on the sofa opposite Marisbury. "Strictly speaking, it's some problems discovered by the alchemists and the engineering department."

"It may lead to the exposure of our entire Chaldea."

"You didn't tell Achiman about this?" Marinesbury asked Lansemello.

“I’ve already told you and Velvet.” Lansemero looked up at Roman standing at the door. “Now that you’re here, let’s have an impromptu meeting to finalize the changes to our plans.”

"Okay, then I'll go make some instant coffee - order this now. If we have a meeting, coffee is more suitable than black tea." Roman glanced at the floor clock leaning against the wall and suggested to the two of them.

On the other hand, Round Table was leading detectives to confirm the scene overnight.

"This is the crime scene of the first case." Galahad opened the door and walked into the apartment first. "Please feel free to look for clues related to the case. The evidence mentioned in the previous materials is now stored in the headquarters of the Round Table. If you need to confirm it in person, please contact Merlin to arrange it."

"Senior, what do you think about this case?" Mashu asked Fujimaru Ritsuka, who had successfully stayed outside by using suggestion magic to reduce his presence, while standing outside the apartment. "I saw the deputy director and his team posted a message in the chat room to notify everyone to return to Chaldea. I have discussed it with everyone at the round table, and we will return to Chaldea together after this case is over."

"Although your previous inferences are all reasonable...but what we know is different from what the general public knows." Fujimaru Ritsuka concluded to Mashu, "However, because I have been studying the history of magic recently, even if you ask me, I can't think of any other entry point to sort out the situation of this case - come to think of it, I do have an idea."

"Mashu, if this case is like the Jack the Ripper case that Professor William encountered, and it is a gang crime, then maybe we can consider the issue of cults."

"Huh?"

"If we ignore the things we can associate with it, the candles, the dagger decorated with precious stones, and the statue of the Black Madonna - all of them can be considered religious items, right?" Fujimaru Ritsuka looked at Mash, "Galahad shouldn't have any special feelings, right?"

"Yes." Mashu nodded and answered Fujimaru Ritsuka.

"At least it's not the same problem of assimilation as in the Saints' world." Fujimaru Ritsuka glanced at the brightly lit room and reminded Mashu, "You probably didn't find anything special, which means that no matter what ritual the murderer wants to perform, at least there won't be more casualties besides the murderer continuing to kill people."

"At least there won't be a situation like the anomaly where the entire city, country or continent is destroyed."

"So, what you have to do is to catch the murderer before he commits the next crime." Fujimaru Ritsuka smiled and raised his index finger in front of him, pretending to be silent. "Sherlock Holmes and his team have brought all the characters favored by the world to you this time, so it won't take a few days for you to know the outcome of this case."

"Maybe you can catch up and go back to Chaldea with me."

Meanwhile, at MI6 headquarters.

"Oh, you left early from there." Moran waved to the people who pushed the door open, "So, do you have any special tasks next?"

"Well, so I took this opportunity to come back." William smiled and waved his hat to Moran. "Moran, you have been staying at MI6 headquarters for some time. You should have known about this, right? The new technology that will be connected to the surveillance system used by the European Interpol and the International Interpol--"

"'Cross-age identification'."

"Hahaha, Rum wants to take that technology for himself." Moriarty laughed. "It would be bad if he really got his hands on this technology. Not to mention that the detective boy who is more chaotic than Sherlock Holmes will be exposed soon... All of our identities will be discovered to be abnormal by this technology."

"It can really be called a gift from the devil."

"I prefer to say that it is Pandora's box, old me." William found a chair and sat down, drawing everyone's attention back to himself. "Let's not talk about the fact that most of us have no past in this world. I have had this face since the Black Organization was founded more than a hundred years ago. Molly's image might bring you out directly from this system... This situation is a big crisis for Chaldea."

"However, it seems that Rum has sent people to infiltrate the center of Europol's surveillance camera network."

"Oh, that guy - he's just as impatient as ever." Moriarty raised his eyebrows and asked William, "So what are you going to do? Young me."

"First of all, I didn't tell the chat room that Rum had sent people to infiltrate the European Police's surveillance camera network center, and the insiders in Chaldea were all bound by time-limited self-enforced certificates or contracts." William tapped his fingers and explained his arrangements bit by bit. "I hope they first know that Rum took the initiative to approach Maori Kogoro, and then know that Rum sent people to invade there."

"According to the intelligence collected by MI6, the Pacific Buoy, a facility built by Interpol in the waters of Japan, will officially begin operation after being connected to the surveillance system of Europol." Louis held a stack of paper materials and calmly explained the current situation to everyone. "Although the news that Rum arranged for Binga to invade the surveillance camera network center of Europol has been blocked, the existence of the technology of 'cross-age recognition' may soon be known to all of Chaldea."

"I want to take this opportunity to wipe out the Rum faction in one go - of course, like all previous actions, we need to prepare a way out for the undercover agents." William looked at everyone with a smile, "I will assign the task of solving the problem of Rum and Binga to Gin; although Bourbon belongs to the Rum faction and is an undercover agent, I hope he can continue to stay in the organization."

"However, Moran may need to fire a few shots to cover it up."

"Also, Bermode can be prepared to be released, Louis."

"I understand, Brother William." Louis nodded, "But the fact that the boss is no longer Karasuma Renya has almost been completely exposed to her..."

"Ah, since it was Gin who cleaned up the mess before, there shouldn't be any problem in letting him do his old job of silencing people, right? Besides, I'm not a good person in the universal sense." William smiled and decided Bermode's life and death lightly. "I hope Miss Qian will join Pacific Buoy as a staff member - it should be OK to go through the MI6 channel."

"But I hope that the death of Bermode can be kept secret for a while - can you come and take care of this part of the work, Bond?"

"...I understand. Gin will explain it to him when he gives him the task." Bond nodded. "Then I have no problem with that."

"In addition, I will also tell Gin that only Chaldea has obtained the information that the organization is looking for." William took a deep breath, "As for the other organization - it depends on whether Amakusa and his team can perform a sufficiently magnificent show with the Phantom Thief Kid after solving the serial murder case."

"No wonder Vermode had to die at this time - I thought you would let her and Gin be buried in the avalanche together." Moriarty looked at William, "Because in the current organization, she is the only one who still knows what Karasuma Renya is pursuing, right?"

"Yes, Karasuma Renya's pursuit is completely different from the so-called 'immortality' - We can be both of God and the devil. Since we're trying to raise the dead against the stream of time." William leaned back in his chair and slowly tapped the armrest beside him, "So only when she can't speak, can we make others think that the organization's goal is originally 'immortality', not 'reversing the flow of time'."

"In fact, Rum might have found out, but he and Gin don't have a good relationship, so how could he reveal the news to Gin? So as long as Vermode dies, no one will know about Karasuma Renya's delusion."

"Because humans have never given up the dream of 'immortality', so as long as Vermode keeps his mouth shut, everyone will believe that Karasuma Renya is pursuing 'immortality'."

"You let him kill so many members of the organization, wouldn't Gin be suspicious?" Molly, who had been silent all the time, confirmed with William.

"Just like an elephant that is bound by a chain that it cannot break free of when it is young, even if it has the strength to break free of the chain when it grows up, it will not try." William smiled and explained to the youngest of them, Moriarty, "Besides, I am Moriarty - you should have enough confidence in yourself."

"Even if your Fred secretly informed Holmes of the plan, it cannot deny our Moriarty's achievements in bribery of subordinates. After all, Moriarty would not commit the crime himself. But, I only did it myself when the plan required it."

"Besides, our hints are something deeper and softer than the iron chain that bound the baby elephant. Besides, Gin is not an elephant. He is just a bird of prey that has never seen the blue sky and can only survive by relying on its owner."
