70 – The Strange Case of Dr. Henry Jekyll (2)
“No matter how capable you are, and no matter how much you are my beloved brother, it is difficult to act like this. “The reason I couldn’t go to the scene right away was because they hurriedly looked for me at Buckingham Palace early this morning.”
“Going to the site? My brother? Carrying that heavy body?”
Watson was surprised when Mycroft mentioned Buckingham Palace, but he passed it over as if it was natural for Holmes. He just pretended to be surprised for other reasons, like teasing his brother as his younger brother.
My Croft opened his mouth with a small sigh at his younger brother, who still couldn’t get out of being his child.
“Since this is the case in which Lord Danvers Carew was murdered, His Majesty is bound to be interested. Even if you’re not interested in politics, you know that this isn’t normal, Sherlock? It is a terrible incident in which a prominent member of the House of Representatives was murdered on the streets of London at night. And the prime suspect is Dr. Jekyll, a prominent social philanthropist.”
“Well… …. I guess I’ll have to go first to find out, right? Anyway, Mycroft’s steps are only for show, right? You need my help. “You received help from me when you were at the Bank of England. Are you going to pretend you didn’t know this time?”
Watson thought of her dead brother Henry and thought that Holmes and her brother Mycroft were really good siblings.
At first glance, it seemed like Holmes was making fun of his older brother, but even then, you could feel the trust they had as family.
Thinking about her own case, if they were really not on good terms, they wouldn’t have been able to have a friendly conversation like that.
Is Mr. Microsoft a greater person than you think? No matter how he looked, the Queen or the royal family was mentioned, and Watson couldn’t help but increase his evaluation of Holmes. If you think about it, he should have noticed it already because he goes around like that and acts recklessly, but nothing happens.
Microft had already decided on the conclusion, and Sherlock knew that he already knew it.
However, since the person he was dealing with was his family member and her youngest child whom he cherished, he had no choice but to prioritize his role as her older brother over that of her office worker.
Above all, as her older brother, he should not forget to give her a little warning about his immature behavior. She was my younger sister, someone I cared for even if others didn’t know. No matter how hurt she was and how broken she was, it was natural for her family to want her younger brother to live a normal life.
“Follow me. “But remember to be careful out there, Sherlock.”
“I should have done that a long time ago.”
Holmes whistled softly and tried to follow Mycroft as he left. However, at Mycroft’s next words, she had no choice but to stop without realizing it.
“I’m talking about that kind of attitude. Anyway, this is the scene where someone died. Your light attitude may cause misunderstanding, so be careful, Sherlock. “If anyone sees me, they will look at me like a child going out to play.”
“… “It’s not like that, Mycroft.”
For a moment, Watson had to gasp and hold his breath without realizing it. Although it seemed like nothing to her, she felt that there was emotion in Holmes’ voice for a moment.
Mycroft seemed to feel the same way, as he stopped for a moment and looked back at his younger brother to check his expression. Then, as if he had made a mistake, Holmes cleared his throat and pushed Mycroft, who had struggled to stop, on his back.
“I’m sorry, I was being sensitive. “It’s okay, let’s go quickly, brother.”
“… Okay. Take care of your health. “Miss Watson, although you are still a medical student, I ask you to take good care of Sherlock.”
“Yes? Ah, yes. “Yes, of course.”
Watson continued to nod his head as he followed Mycroft and Holmes. As he walked out the door, Watson was once again faced with the silence of the Diogenes Club.
He almost gasped without realizing it, but was able to hold back because he remembered Holmes’ warning that was not a warning.
He seemed to be following the rule until he silently walked towards the entrance.
“Huh?”
However, when he was almost at the entrance, he felt eyes on him without realizing it, and Watson turned his head in that direction and stopped making a sound.
But she had no choice but to do it.
Professor James Moriarty was sitting among the members of this bizarre club who rarely sat and enjoyed contemplating or reading.
He was always looking at Watson with a handsome face and a faint smile. He unconsciously tried to wave his hand at him, but Professor Moriarty just shook his head and looked away from himself and Holmes again.
Obviously, both Holmes and Mr. Mycroft must have noticed that gaze and presence. Strangely, in the case of Mr. Mycroft, he just ignored it, and in the case of Holmes, although he clearly made eye contact with Professor Moriarty, he clicked his tongue and looked away.
Even so, Mr. Mycroft’s attitude was somewhat unexpected in Holmes’ case.
Later, I found out that one of the rules of the Diogenes Club included a ban on members pretending to know each other.
Because of that, he was able to understand the attitudes of Mr. Mycroft and Holmes, but Watson could not help but guess that there was something between Holmes and Professor Moriarty that he did not know about.
Fortunately, there was no particular commotion in the carriage from right after that until we arrived at the scene. However, Watson found the silence in the still carriage very uncomfortable.
From the moment he left the room, Holmes seemed strangely in a bad mood. Watson had no choice but to remain silent, as he felt like he would hear harsh words again if he spoke nonsense.
It was because I was sensitive.
Holmes remained silent in the carriage, no, looking back at himself as he was lost in his own world, he could not help but laugh at himself.
Because his foolish excuse, that he did it because he was sensitive, and his childlike excuse in vulgar terms, was so funny.
Microsoft probably noticed this too. I guess he just deliberately avoided mentioning it out of consideration for his younger brother since he was his older brother.
Was Watson keenly aware of the questions he asked without much thought? No, more precisely, I may have been conscious of it ever since the shooting incident, when I visited my teacher right after the criminal was murdered right before my eyes.
I had been ignoring it like a scar that was trying to heal, but thanks to Watson and Mycroft’s mistake, the wound was revealed again.
Holmes thought so. No, I faced the truth.
If I enjoy all of this simply as a puzzle contest with that person, am I really no different from that person?
Despite blaming himself, another Sherlock Holmes still could not hide his excitement and excitement to solve the truth of this case.
Watson’s point itself was accurate and did not match Watson’s intellectual level.
He probably predicted this. Even if there weren’t enough clues, there was no way I wouldn’t have known that something unusual was going to happen.
But I literally aided and abetted it. I just watched until the incident happened.
Already already suspecting that Dr. Jekyll is suspicious, and knowing that there is an unusual relationship between him and Edward Hyde, and that it all ultimately leads to that man!
It shouldn’t be like this.
I must stop that person, uncover the truth that he is the ultimate villain in the world, and destroy him along with me.
Isn’t it like I’m having fun with that person? Despite having already committed an indelible sin against his mom and dad!
It was the same as before. Why was that man at the Diogenes Club? Of course, I knew from Mycroft that he had also joined as a new member.
You must have waited for me because you knew I would come.
That would be the case, because I would have been like that too. Because this is a battle between me and that person.
No, is it right to just think about confronting that man like this? Another bad idea. Should I at least smoke a cigarette? Or just a little morphine?
No, you need to come to your senses, Sherlock. It’ll be on site soon. We have to put it off until later. First, I have to solve the mystery, no, the tragedy, and find a way to put an end to this man before he can wreak havoc on my life any further.
Otherwise, I will definitely be finished by that man.
Of course, Holmes could not solve this problem in the carriage, as he could not accurately assess it with a clear answer or clear reason.

Pushing it to the back of my mind, I began examining the evidence and bodies stored at the scene and at the nearby police station.
In the case of the British Central Bank robbery case, Watson was not present at the time of the on-site verification, so she had no choice but to look at the people around her as if she were anxious.
No matter how much Holmes was acting as if there was no problem, in Watson’s common sense, Holmes and himself were nothing more than outsiders.
Of course, Holmes was a special friend. However, in reality, it was impossible according to common sense for Holmes, himself, and Mr. Mycroft, who could hardly be called famous detectives, to approach the scene of a case that attracted the attention of London citizens.
Of course, Watson’s common sense collapsed as he saw the officers saluting Mycroft as if he were a minister, and leaving the frozen goldfish behind, Holmes began to inspect the scene.
“Microft! On-site preservation is a mess! “When on earth are proper guidelines created and officers are going to start investigating?”
“That’s a problem I’ll solve, so you can just keep observing.”
“Tsk.”
At the same time, everything passed quickly, from the analysis of the scene to the examination of the evidence and the body of Sir Carew, who had been horribly murdered with Dr. Jekyll’s cane.
Even Watson, who had seen many corpses, could not help but feel that Lord Carew’s body was miserable. She had been beaten to the point of breaking with a cane, and considering that she was a 70-year-old woman, it was easy to doubt whether it was possible for an ordinary person to do it.
However, the testimony that the weapon that killed Lord Carew was Dr. Jekyll’s cane and that Dr. Jekyll and Sir Carew were alone on the street at the time, and the presence of Dr. Jekyll who was found unconscious near the murdered Lord Carew, led the police to become a strong suspect. Was paying attention to him.
Is this okay?
Just before telling Microsoft a few things, Holmes thought again.
But, for the sake of the truth, to prevent more casualties from games that lead to one’s own easy thinking, and to prevent Moriarty at all costs because I was afraid of becoming like him, I thought so. I opened my mouth.
“…… Dr. Jekyll’s lawyer, Utterson, is claiming that Edward Hyde is the culprit? “Right, Mycroft?”
“If you go to court because you are a skilled lawyer, it is clear that if you do well, you can be acquitted.”
“Then let’s just release Dr. Jekyll for now.”
“… The reason is?”
“It’s not a completely wrong claim. It is certain that Lord Carew and Dr. Jekyll were the only two people at the scene, but at the moment of murder, another man carried out the murder. Even if you look at me like that, I don’t know right now, Mycroft. “You know, so you brought me with you.”
“But I have to convince the police, Sherlock.”
“You’re just being lazy, if you’re in my position, that’s enough. Dr. Jekyll, you’re right-handed, right? Considering the position of the cane and Lord Carew’s crushed skull, it is highly likely that the culprit was left-handed. Let’s talk around like that. “In any case, the police lack confidence, and they cannot openly oppose it out of consideration for public opinion.”
“Here…” “There’s no other reason, right Sherlock?”
“… “What does that mean?”
Microft was silent for a moment. But it wasn’t that long.
“No, no. As you said, it might be better to release him first and then investigate Edward Hyde and keep an eye on Dr. Jekyll for a while.”
Holmes tried to lie to himself as he looked at Mycroft’s back as he stepped forward to talk to the person in charge of the scene.
It is something that cannot be helped. Moriarty, it’s to stop that man.
Of course, not all on-site verification was completed. A face-to-face meeting with the famous Dr. Henry Jekyll followed.
