Chapter 638 Multidimensional World
"According to what you mean, where did that child go? Another world, or somewhere else."
Lu Li somewhat understood what Holmes meant, but he was still not sure.
After all, knowledge is limited.
Of course, there is a specialization in the art industry, and what he is best at is fighting. Moreover, doesn't Holmes know the content recorded in the Book of Taboo?
Because of this, Lu Li was very balanced in his heart, and humbly asked the detective in front of him for advice.
"Do you think there is anything else outside of our world?"
Mr. Holmes didn't rush to answer. He first asked a question and waited for Lu Li's response.
If it is a woman who doesn't understand anything, she will probably understand this sentence as a life other than her own class. After all, the life gap between the poor and the rich is like the two worlds of heaven and hell.
If you ask a learned and educated gentleman, he will order two cups of coffee and talk about the existence outside the earth with great interest, such as:
Moon, Mars.
But it is limited to this, because the heliocentric theory has just been recognized not long ago, and astronomy is still in its infancy, and there is no such thing as cosmic latitude or parallel worlds.
"Of course, if we understand things that ordinary people can see as masculine, then things that ordinary people can't see, let alone touch, are feminine. There are things like the soul world..."
The tone is full of determination.
After all, in a world where spiritual tides are revived, Lu Li, a modern person, is very good at talking about science. What's more, he has experienced it himself, so he can be regarded as a senior traveler.
And Holmes was silent for a few seconds, took a deep look at Lu Li, as if he had guessed something, and said in a deep voice, "I suspect that the child has entered another world, and this is the only way to explain why he disappeared so completely."
On the side, Lu Li noticed the way Holmes looked at him. The other party seemed to understand something and figured out some doubts.
Of course, this does not affect the cooperative relationship between the two. It can only be said that the most famous detective in the world has guessed his own origin from an irrelevant topic——
The world that is currently being experienced is closely related to Mr. Conan Doyle. His disappearance has caused the virtual character of Sherlock Holmes to appear and become a flesh and blood existence.
At the same time, the deep friendship with Conan Doyle in the initial exam was also passed on to the character Sherlock Holmes.
The above is Lu Li's guess, but Holmes' understanding is slightly different from this.
As an independent existence with a complete life, he has no reason and is impossible to doubt his authenticity. Holmes thinks that these inexplicable friendliness and hatred come from the parallel world.
Maybe something went wrong, the two worlds that didn't interfere with each other began to affect each other, and Lu Li and Duke had a close relationship with themselves in the other world, which led to this feeling of hitting it off.
After thinking this through, the doubts lingering in Holmes' mind finally subsided, and he felt much more at ease.
the other side.
Lu Li didn't think so much, he was simply curious, if the conjecture was true, how did the kid named Dick enter the different world.
You know, in the city of London, the number of distributed churches is second only to gardens. After searching for nearly a day, I still haven't found that cafe.
Therefore, Lu Li seriously suspected that Miss Meacham had brought that sibei product into a world of another latitude, and it had an unknown close connection with this world.
"How to confirm..." Lu Li said with a deliberate tone, "And arrived at that area?"
Sherlock Holmes, who has a large collection, is similar to a robot cat who can pull out various props from his pocket, so Lu Li is full of expectations for him.
seeing is believing.
No matter how the two of them sit here and discuss it, it is better to verify it in person.
"Sorry, I didn't find the 'key'."
Holmes shook his head helplessly. He can deduce the result based on the phenomenon, but he is not omniscient. If he can travel between the two worlds at will, why should he ask that poor mother here? ?
Hearing this, Lu Li sighed.
While acquiring knowledge and becoming more powerful, the strangeness and unknownness are also becoming more and more difficult in ways and means that are difficult to understand.
"According to my guess, many strange existences are hiding there."
"It can be understood as a place where filth is hidden. In addition, a survey must be done throughout the city to determine how many children are missing."
At first, Lu Li wanted to include adults, but considering that they were unrestrained and too subjective, the death rate was frighteningly high.
Therefore, at present, only children who are restrained by their parents are considered, and statistics are made from Baker Street to the outside, giving priority to families with better conditions.
It's not about double standards. From Lu Li's point of view, as long as it doesn't conflict with his own interests, the poor and the rich are actually the same. It doesn't matter who is noble and who is low. It's purely to make the survey results more scientific.
First of all, children from poor families need to go to work on the street. Whether they are seven or eight years old, twelve or thirteen years old, they have the burden of supporting themselves and their families on their shoulders, and they have to risk their lives to go out to work.
On the other hand, children of the middle class and above do not need to run around for a living and are looked after by their parents or servants, and their mortality rate is lower.
Therefore, investigating the number of missing children in rich areas is of great value to this case.
Although it is too realistic and cruel to do so, neither Lu Li nor other official or unofficial forces of justice can take care of everyone and must make a choice.
If he hadn't thought of helping Boss Zhou get Holmes to endorse the detective agency as soon as possible, the child's life and death really had nothing to do with Lu Li, and he would have gone to save the others long ago——
Along the way, there was a lingering smell of blood in the thick fog, and the whole city was already in the shape of a purgatory field, which could not be saved at all.
"Sir, here are the clothes, two pieces."
From a distance, a voice came.
Madam Eugenie limped through the door and delivered the clothes to Lu Li. Her eyes were filled with anticipation. She learned about the glorious achievements of this clinic doctor from two police officers.
Unfortunately, Lu Li was destined to break the heart of this lady.
As Holmes said, Lu Li put the clothes under his nose and smelled them without hesitation.
Ignoring the disturbing smell, apart from the smell of washing, there is only the smell of sweat on the clothes. The source of the latter is Mrs. Eugenie. She is very nervous now, her forehead is covered with sweat, and so are her palms.
And this phenomenon is extremely abnormal. As the former user of the clothes, Dick must have left an indelible smell on them, but now it has disappeared without a trace.
"There was no matching scent on the street and it was clear that the child was indeed missing."
multidimensional world...
Lu Li looked up to his side, Holmes had already lit his pipe.
