Scene 58 Empty House(1/2)
Lu Mingfei jumped out and rushed out the door, and Nuonuo followed him confused.
"What happened?" she asked.
"I don't know." Lu Mingfei frowned, "The moment the photo was taken, I felt something changed."
Nono also became wary, "Is there something wrong with this Sherlock Holmes museum?"
"I don't know. I don't have any information right now..." Lu Mingfei went to open the door. It was a swing door made of solid wood panels. He held the door handles on both sides and twisted them until they rattled.
"Can't open it..." Lu Mingfei turned around to ask the female staff member, but found that everyone in the Sherlock Holmes Museum was gone.
Without saying anything, Nuonuo pulled out the two daggers she carried with her, but Lu Mingfei held her hands down, "Don't be nervous, senior sister, there should be no danger here."
"Word Spirit·Eye of God"!
Nuonuo's eyes flashed with golden light, and then she put away the dagger, "I checked it out, and there is indeed no danger, but... there is a very strange feeling."
"Damn it." Lu Mingfei scratched his head in distress, "How about we stay in this room first?"
"Okay." Nuonuo pressed close to him, "Don't get separated."
"Go to the study. That's where Holmes and Watson live." Lu Mingfei and Nono walked into the study back to back. There was nothing special. There was a desk in the corner of the study, which belonged to the unforgettable Sherlock Holmes.
"chemistry lab".
"Let's go and have a look on the second floor." Lu Mingfei was about to leave the study, but Nono didn't move.
"What's wrong? Senior sister?" Lu Mingfei asked.
"Look at that table..." Nono pointed, "Were there those bottles and jars on the table before?"
When Lu Mingfei heard this, he looked over and saw several short and large tables arranged vertically and horizontally, with many distilling bottles, test tubes and some small Bunsen burners with flashing blue flames placed on them.
Near the door is Dr. Watson's desk. On the chair in front of the desk is an open doctor's leather bag, which is filled with medical instruments such as doctor's pliers.
"Maybe it's just to restore the authenticity of Holmes' residence?"
"No, junior brother, your observation skills are too poor." Nono shook his head, "Haven't you discovered it yet? If it was just for restoration, it would be impossible to light that Bunsen burner."
Lu Mingfei walked quickly to the table, where the Bunsen burner was burning slowly. There was a container next to it, which contained some kind of dark red solution, with some brown particles settling at the bottom of the bottle.
"This is..." Lu Mingfei suddenly shrank, "Holmes and Watson first met. At that time, Holmes was doing a research on the precipitation of blood-colored proteins in a certain solution."
"You mean we have traveled into the world of Sherlock Holmes?" Nono asked slowly.
"Not sure yet..." Lu Mingfei turned around and walked to the second floor. There were two cabins on the second floor. He remembered that the two cabins were Mrs. Hudson's room and Watson's room respectively.
Lu Mingfei opened Watson's bedroom. The quilts on the bed were neatly folded. He took a closer look and found that there were obvious traces of someone lying on the bed, and the wax figures of famous figures that should have been displayed in the bedroom were also missing.
No trace...
"Senior sister, we have bad news." Lu Mingfei went downstairs and said to Nuonuo, "We seem to have been dragged into some kind of special space. There are no wax figures in the bedroom on the second floor, and there are traces of human life."
"What do you think is the reason?" Nono asked.
"This may be...a Nibelungen," Lu Mingfei said with a serious expression, "Senior sister, you know about the Nibelungen, right?"
"I know." Nono said, "Casel's course teaches that it is an independent space that exists outside of the real space, but does that really exist?"
"It is real. It was established by dragons, just like the Bronze City that Ye Sheng and Sister Aki entered last year when they implemented the "Kuimen Project". That is the Nibelungen that served as the residence of Norton and Constantine. Dragon
The species usually hides in the Nibelungs."
"I know, what should we do now?"
"I can forcefully break through this Nibelungen and get out, but..." Lu Mingfei said, "If this happens, Holmes will definitely not see us, and our purpose of coming to England will be defeated."
"Stop bragging." Nono curled her lips, "You should break down that door first and then talk about it."
"Uh, I'm serious..." Lu Mingfei muttered and kicked the door. The door opened in response, and outside was...
On a British street in the 19th century, a few pedestrians were looking at Lu Mingfei, a stranger, with strange eyes.
"Now..." Lu Mingfei was stunned, "We are really here."
Nuonuo was not too surprised. She walked to Lu Mingfei, raised her feet and looked around, "It's quite different from what I imagined. This street is dirty and messy."
"Holmes probably means no harm." Lu Mingfei said to himself as he walked down the steps in front of the door, "Maybe he just wants to play a detective game with us."
"Then let's be great detectives for once." Nuonuo shrugged and followed Lu Mingfei's footsteps.
"Senior sister, why don't you help me ask..." Lu Mingfei suddenly paused, turned around and rushed back into the house, "Wait for me."
"Mysterious." Nono stood there and continued to look at Britain in the 19th century.
"Found it, found it!" Lu Mingfei shouted, rushing out of the house excitedly, waving a piece of paper in his hand, "Let me tell you, Holmes will definitely leave clues for us."
"What is this?" Nono asked, she stretched out her hand, "Show me."
"Senior sister, you are too overbearing. I haven't read it yet..." Lu Mingfei looked aggrieved, but still obediently handed the note to Nono.
"If I'm not overbearing, then it's me, Chen Motong?" Nuonuo rolled her eyes at him and opened the note.
"Dear Mr. Lu Mingfei
I know you are looking for me, but I am currently busy with a commission, which is quite troublesome and I cannot get away.
What happened is that a brutal murder occurred in the Halliday Hotel in Little George Street. I think I would be very happy if you would help me investigate it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The signature at the bottom of the note is "Sherlock Holmes".
"What a stinky guy." Lu Mingfei complained.
"Indeed." Nono agreed, tore up the note and threw it on the roadside. "Are we going to that hotel now?"...
"Sister, quality, quality!"
"It doesn't matter, the streets are so dirty anyway, there is no shortage of garbage for me to throw away."
"Okay, you're the best..." Lu Mingfei sighed helplessly, "Isn't this the only way to go? Go to that hotel."
"I want to be a detective!" Nono was very excited, holding his hand and jumping up and down.
Lu Mingfei smiled, pretending to be a mature big sister on the surface, but actually she was still a little girl in her heart.
"Oh, yes, map, map..." Nono fumbled around in the bag, "Fortunately, I carry it with me, but is this map still useful in 19th-century England?"
"It should work. There won't be much difference in the street layout." Lu Mingfei replied, rubbing his brows again with a headache, "I feel like I can't be a detective..."
"It's okay, sister is here." Nono slapped him on the back, "Sister, I will help you play the game!"
"Actually, it doesn't matter if the map doesn't match up. We can call a carriage. The driver must be more familiar with the streets of London than we are."
"seems like it……"
…
…
The two of them took a carriage and stopped in front of Little George Street.
"Isn't it the Haolidai Hotel?" Nono asked the coachman in English.
"Madam, the Halliday Hotel is in a small alley, and the carriage cannot get in." The coachman answered cautiously.
"Okay." Nuonuo jumped out of the car without Lu Mingfei's support.
There was a small road in front of me. There was a sign at the intersection that read "Hotel, Accommodation" and a red arrow was drawn on it, pointing to the depths of the small road.
Indeed, if this kind of place is not specially marked, no one will know that there is a hotel inside.
Nono took one look and walked directly to the path.
"Senior sister, wait for me." Lu Mingfei quickly followed.
"You are too slow."
After turning a few corners here and there, a small four-story building appeared in front of them. There were no extra decorations. There was a very old-fashioned plaque hanging in front of the door... It seemed like something from the 19th century.
It looks very old-fashioned, with "Hollydale Hotel" written on it.
"The characters are quite ugly." Lu Mingfei walked to the door and pointed out the situation. He looked at the plaque that had not been changed for a long time. The characters on it were unclear.
Judging from the shape of this hotel, the boss definitely doesn't want to take care of it. There are only two types of people who can live in this kind of place, one is poor tourists with no money, and the other is eager to do something ulterior.
The young man and woman involved in the matter... I'm sorry if I went astray, Lu Mingfei thought.
"I haven't seen you say anything." Nono walked straight to the hotel, "Also, don't think about dirty things in your mind."
Lu Mingfei was so ashamed that he died in front of his senior sister again, but it seemed to be the norm now.
Pushing open the squeaky wooden door, a stale smell of old carpet hit her face. Nono shrugged her nose uncomfortably, "It smells so bad..."
Lu Mingfei didn't feel anything at all. He had smelled this smell countless times in the shabby Internet cafe downstairs in his community, and there were smells even more outrageous than this.
In the hall in front of her, the original color of the floor had long since faded. Directly across from it was a wooden bar. A white woman was sitting there boredly reading newspapers. Next to her was a vertical clock that was as tall as a person. Lu Mingfei looked up.
By the way, the time is 10:20 in the morning.…
"It's only ten o'clock. Maybe after we finish, we can have a meal with my senior sister in 19th century England." Lu Mingfei said to himself.
However, Nono had already started chatting with the white woman, "Hello, there was a murder in the hotel recently, right?"
"Why are you asking about this?" The woman raised her eyes and glanced at Chen Motong, and said unceremoniously, "Go, go, little girl, don't disturb my business."
