Aiwass felt a little overwhelmed just thinking about the fact that Sherlock Hermes and James Moriarty, the old enemies in the original work, both faked their deaths today.
However, Aiwass keenly captured a blind spot of vision here.
The reason why Lawyer York could directly confirm that Sherlock was dead was simple - because he was the one who did it himself. He gave Sherlock a sleeping pill and detonated a sufficient amount of bombs he prepared when the drug took effect.
I also received the news of Sherlock's death at a reasonable time.
From this point of view, he was able to confirm that the root cause of Sherlock's death... was actually because York hoped so from the bottom of his heart.
Although Consultant York seems to have a relatively high status within Lloyd's, he is actually in a very embarrassing situation at the moment. He must not expose himself in this case, and he must kill Sherlock himself.
As long as the bomb didn't kill Sherlock this time, he would be easily exposed regardless of whether he went to make a last-ditch attack. So he didn't want to hear the news that Sherlock survived - so he would subconsciously use the collected intelligence to prove that he had
A definite point of view. This is also the preparation he made in advance to convince other senior officials.
Considered from this perspective, Lloyd's can confirm that Professor Moriarty is dead...does this mean that they were involved in the matter itself?
After all, divination may be disrupted and may not be completely correct. Moreover, if the energy level is too low, it cannot accurately predict high-ranking people. Since Lloyd's can hire prophets to divine for them, they must also be aware of such limitations.
Then they can confirm the death without confirming the body... it can only be that they were involved in this matter. For example, they sent someone to assassinate the professor, and then that person brought back the news of the other party's death, and maybe also
There is evidence to prove that the other party is dead. Because of this, they will confirm this fact after one divination and feel relieved.
Another possibility is that they don't actually need Professor Moriarty to actually die.
Lloyd's only needs to make Professor Moriarty temporarily dead on a social level. It is enough to make Professor Moriarty temporarily unable to return to the Glass Island to create a time lag for their plan.
No matter which possibility it is, the possibility that the professor fakes his own death and escapes is not small. And these two possibilities have one thing in common - that is, Lloyd's has absolutely no good intentions towards Aiwass.
It was precisely because they were eager to take advantage of Aiwass that they called him here in advance and reported to him the news of Professor Moriarty's death in advance. This was to prevent Aiwass from having time to confirm and think, and at the same time
It's also putting pressure on him.
Aiwass narrowed his eyes slightly and had a plan in mind.
He decided to attack directly and gain the initiative.
So he stopped hiding and suddenly said: "Lawyer York, you seem to be in a hurry."
The moment Aiwass said these words, York's expression changed a little.
He tilted his head slightly to the left, resting his chin on the fingertips of his raised left hand. The three fingers of his right hand gently played on the armrest rhythmically, as if playing an air piano.
Looking at lawyer York, Aiwass spoke slowly and struck him: "You don't seem to be sad about my father's death."
"that is because……"
"Because his death is more in line with your interests. No matter whether he really died unfortunately, disappeared, or it was just a lie that I couldn't verify and temporarily deceived me.
"But in any case, the fact that you told me this information in advance instead of coming to me after I saw it in the newspaper or even after I encountered a dilemma in reality shows that you are in a hurry. Because obviously, the latter is easier for me to do.
If you believe it, it will be easier to recruit me."
The so-called icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when it is timely.
"Lloyd's is a group of businessmen. It allows a group of businessmen to abandon the plan with the lowest risk and the greatest benefit and choose to activate my line in advance. Then can I understand that your situation at the moment is not what you are showing now?
So stable?"
Aiwass closed his eyes half-closed, as if he was a little sleepy.
He spoke slowly, his voice low and clear, like a whisper when telling a story to a child: "From Sherlock's funeral, he didn't let me go home and took me directly to Lloyd's headquarters; let me sit like that
The rickety elevator; discreetly displaying photos of you with so many important people; using the Eater Demon to scare me; meaninglessly pointing out the fact that you can monitor the 'Noble Red'; reporting the death of my father...
"You keep putting pressure on me. Do you want me to promise you something here? You might as well talk about it first. Maybe I can easily comply."
Aiwass narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Let me guess...have you made any mistakes recently? That's why you urgently want to recruit me into your team and use this achievement to offset your mistakes.
"Looking at your eyes, I seem to have guessed it right."
"...Aren't you afraid at all?"
Lawyer York scratched his head in distress, but there was no threatening expression on his face.
Aiwass also smiled and said, showing his value: "Actually, I informed Mr. Mycroft before I came here; before I got in the car, I also specifically notified Butler Oswald.
You don't want anything to happen to me here, do you, Lawyer York? That's one of them.
"Secondly, you would go around in such a big circle, spend so much effort to persuade me, and tell me the story of Prince Lloyd and the backwardness of the royal family. This shows that I have special value. You cannot use coercion or force to persuade me."
Use the simple means of inducement to control me.
"The last thing is... I guess there is someone at the door now. It should be the vice president of Boca. He should have been at the door before you talked to me about my father's death."
"——How did you guess it?"
A steady voice came from the door.
The person who walked in through the door was a middle-aged man with half black and half white hair and a mustache. He was wearing a dark blue suit and had a square face. His hair was neatly styled, but he did not apply hairspray or wax.
The middle-aged businessman seemed to be an unsmiling person. After entering the door, he subconsciously put his hands behind his back and walked slowly behind Lawyer York.
But Aiwass just smiled gently, raised his left hand to scratch in the air, and said hello to the man who entered the door later.
He said lazily: "That's all I say first, Mr. Boca.
"Now that you've come in, I wonder if Mr. York can't get any credit for his work? That's a pity. I think he's a good man."
"His contribution will not be less, because your value is much higher than we expected."
Without even asking Attorney York, Mr. Borca directly took his place in the conversation with Aiwass.
Completely different from the York lawyer who is always cheerful, soft-spoken and soft-spoken.
Vice President Boca's words were more straightforward, more impactful and charming: "Do you want to be the king, Mr. Aiwass? Better than 'Prince'... and not just 'Moriarty'.
"
Aiwass raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who doesn't want to?"
"But you have such an opportunity now. If you are lucky enough, you will not even be a king - but an 'emperor'."
Boka's voice was low and magnetic, and his words were full of seduction: "This is completely possible. You have to know that we are all businessmen, and everyone has his own market and business. No one wants the old
The stable market was smashed to pieces, and those white crowns and red candles were stolen by bastards who don't know where.
"From this point of view, we are actually the maintainers of order in Avalon. Just like Lloyd's Club maintains order in Lloyd's District."
"...Is it the relationship between I and Isabel that you value?"
Aiwass did not shy away from calling Her Royal Highness the Princess by her name.
He tilted his head slightly and asked, "Then why should I cooperate with you?"
Upon hearing this, the corners of Boca's and York's mouths both slightly raised in sync.
"It's normal for young people to be energetic."
York took over the conversation and happily smoothed things over: "Who hasn't been young yet? Not to mention such an outstanding young man as Aiwass..."
"Mr. Aiwass, this is a business that we have been operating for many years. Since Lloyd's was first founded, it has had the mission of being a transcender - from this perspective, you are a latecomer.
"The ancestors spent two hundred years preparing the situation, and then the newcomers accidentally broke in and picked the fruit. If the newcomer chooses to eat alone, do you think the only thing he needs to fight against is the royal family? Don't forget
Yes, Mr. Aiwass - compared with the official, we are all the weaker side. The weak side does not need to fight the weak side, we need to unite with each other."
When he persuaded Aiwass, Boka said this more directly.
Hearing this, Aiwass raised his eyebrows: "Did you do the royal curse?"
"It's not all us."
Boca replied: "Many people want to do this. Star Antimony, Iris, Round Table Hall...
"It has been more than four hundred years. It has been four hundred years since Lancelot I led the Knights of the Round Table to occupy Avalon Island and renamed it Glass Island.
"I remember that your tutor taught history - you know the meaning of a country that has lasted for four hundred years without any interruption of inheritance, no civil war or rebellion, no change of royal power, and no change of customs.
