"Traveling should be limited to that day, after all, there is no date display on the dial, and there are only twelve hour scales on it."

Lu Li was holding a wolf's head sword in one hand, a pocket watch in the other, and a wordless cowhide book under his arm.

In this way, all the belongings are on the body, so as to avoid any unknown variables after time travel, and if they are lost, there is no place to cry.

"Maybe we can use this to travel to the future. It is eleven o'clock at noon. According to the scale on the dial, we can reach fifty-nine minutes and fifty seconds later."

Duke mentioned it casually, but he didn't want to go to the future in his heart.

After all, going back in time is an experience, and the latter has no guarantees.

"Let's talk about it later."

Pan Ming shook his head. He knew very well that one should not try unfamiliar things lightly, especially props involving time and cause and effect, one must be in awe.

"Do you have any more important things? Just in case, it's best to bring them all with you."

Lu Li's face was full of solemnity. After eleven hours, he returned to the very beginning of the day. Thinking about it, he felt crazy.

Can it be successful?

Is the scope of effect the whole world, or this city?

...

Various thoughts swirled in Lu Li's mind.

At this time, Duke urged with a smile:

"We don't have props, we are alone, let's start."

He had a strong premonition that this trip would be successful.

Under the gaze of two eyes, Lu Li pressed the screw-down crown and began to adjust the hands.

eleven o'clock... ten o'clock... eight o'clock...

The sterling silver pointer moved steadily across one scale after another without any pause in between.

Zero hours one minute one second.

With heavy breathing, Lu Li pressed the crown, waiting for a miracle to happen.

It probably took a long time to cross. Compared with the last time, this time there was a clear sense of weightlessness. The three of them felt that their bodies were getting lighter, and then the light in their line of sight began to dim.

Tick, tick, tick.

The sound of heavy rain hitting the glass windows was heard.

Silver-plated knives, forks and spoons, glass basins for washing fingers, and waiters in white waistcoats with napkins under their arms pass by, ready to be summoned.

Looking at the selection of cheese and various delicacies in front of them, Duke and Lu Li's eyes flashed with surprise.

"I didn't expect it to be true..."

Duke murmured.

This made Officer Wensley, who was enjoying the lobster juice, look up and asked, "Sir, what's the matter?"

"I'm impressed by the quality of the food. These dishes are wonderful and acceptable innovations." Duke switched to English and prevaricated: "The room is large and airy, and the waiters are clean, polite and efficient. It is completely acceptable to spend a little more money."

a little?

This is the world view of the rich.

Officer Wensley smiled helplessly, echoed a few words, and continued to focus on the delicious food.

There is one thing to say, the taste is really good, and correspondingly, the price is ridiculously high. Every time I think of this, the police officer can't help but feel guilty.

It's not considered a bribe, is it?

For God's sake, I've worked so hard for so many years that I haven't taken a penny in bribes.

While Wensley was feeling guilty, the boy Mi Gao felt turbulent in his heart. He remembered that he was cooking in the kitchen, and the red wine stewed beef in the pot was almost done...

Beside him, Lu Li keenly noticed the strangeness on Mi Gao's face, after all, he was young and couldn't hide things in his heart.

"Sir... this..."

"Not enough to eat? If you want something more, just order it." Lu Li didn't give him a chance to speak, and handed him the menu directly.

The young man opened his mouth, and finally swallowed all his doubts. Seeing that Police Officer Wensley was looking at him with doubts, and even took the initiative to cooperate with the acting, he said shyly:

"I want pudding, or something sweet."

"purchase."

On the side, Duke also realized that something was wrong, and responded with a smile, assuming that a local tyrant is not short of money.

In fact, Mi Gao has already eaten so much that he can't eat so much at ordinary times, but in order to cooperate, he can only hold on.

"The little guy should eat less sweets, he is prone to gain weight and develop dental caries." Police officer Wensley didn't notice any abnormality, but just lamented the child's appetite.

After the words fell, he put down the spoon.

twelve o'clock.

It was the time when the group of four finished their meal. If nothing unexpected happened, the police officer would take the initiative to mention Holmes and wanted to drop by.

At that time, he was cutting lamb chops.

"Guys, this is the last main dish, pan-fried lamb chops, is there anything else you need to serve?"

Just as he was thinking, a waiter approached with a smile and asked softly.

"Four more puddings, with raisins."

"Hold on."

The world changes from this moment on.

The three expressed similar emotions, especially Mi Gao, if he hadn't understood Lu Li and Duke's hints, he would even have thought it was a dream.

Only police officer Wensley was still kept in the dark, and continued to immerse himself in enjoying the food, thinking:

Except for Mr. Holmes, it is very difficult to meet such a strange detective who does not ask for a reward, but is simply interested in the case itself...

Duke should be thankful that the thread of getting to know Holmes has not been broken.

"I'll leave this case to the two of you. After dinner, I'd like to introduce a colleague to you."

The police officer looked mysterious.

On the other side of the table, Lu Li checked the things he was carrying with him a little. The wolf's head sword crutches disguised as walking sticks were on his left hand side, as was the wordless cowhide book.

Because the pocket watch was too important, he didn't take it out rashly, and waited until Officer Wensley was sent away.

"Mr. Holmes, is it not?"

Duke began to experiment.

Everything was developing according to the normal track, and he decided to change from here.

Hearing this, Police Officer Wensley was stunned for a moment, then he realized with a smile, "That's right, the two of you live on the same street as him, they are considered neighbors, do you know each other?"

"I've heard about it a long time ago." Duke shook his head, "Unfortunately, we don't have the chance to meet each other."

"It's okay, I'll introduce you for the two of you. Although this gentleman has a strange personality, he is easy to get along with."

Wensley was extraordinarily enthusiastic.

If he went to see Holmes, he would miss the black silhouette, so the thoughts in Lu Li's mind were spinning like lightning.

Soon, he made a decision and asked:

"Will it be a while?"

"That's right, just on the way."

"But, we're going to visit friends in the East District..."

Seeing the embarrassment on the faces of Lu Li and Duke, Wensley said empathetically, "If it's inconvenient for you two, we can talk about it when we have time."

The visit to Holmes was an impromptu decision that was not in the schedule, so the good-natured police officer did not make too many associations.

Only the boy Mi Gao, with a strange expression on his face, silently made up his mind to follow Lu Li and figure out what was going on.

How can you go back to the past when you cook well?
