《Watson&Holmes》Case2 Two diamonds - ch6
Advertisement
Inside a long room with a low ceiling. A red light from the pipe flashed. Sherlock Holmes spewed opium smoke from his mouth. As he sat against the wall, chatting with another junkie man willing to tell you everything in exchange for money to buy opium to smoke. And the more he gets good-tasting liquor into his mouth, he was constantly babbling.
"Aah, that lawyer. Oh yeah, he once here. But he did not come to help anyone. He came to beat a man, you know kick that guy, crush him hahaha." The junkie man laughed loudly. Tipping the liquor into his mouth. "You know, the front of him is good. But in fact, that bastard was the boss of a mafia gang behind the alley. Dragged that sucker into the carriage and disappeared, disappearrrrr. "
"Oh, where did that sucker get carried away?" Said Holmes.
"Disappear, gone talking to the fish at the Thames, hahahahahaha" "Hahaha," Holmes pretend to laugh along with the drunken addict. In his mind, he thought he wouldn't have more information from this man.
After several other inquiries, he received similar answers. On Saturday, Wainwright came here with two women and kidnapped a foreign man in a chariot. But it's not more than that.
"Sigh, really the man who kidnapped other people but disappeared on his own."
Holmes sighed, but his eyes lit up since the story became more and more complicated.
Suddenly, a huge wind rolled into the abandoned building. Holmes pounced on the veil that almost slipped off. The wind carried dry leaves and debris around a short figure, holding a cane in an old cloak.
The figure wandered through the wind as if it were part of it. When that person passed in front of Holm, leaning against the wall, an object emerged from the cloak's edge. He saw what he saw made the detective's eyes wild and decided to follow the person outside the abandoned building.

"Oh, who has followed my. What is the purpose?"
The short figure spoke a hoarse voice, like an old man. Slowly moving the cane back to face Sherlock Holmes.
"I don't think I will meet you here ..." Holmes said in a normal tone,
"... The Truth Watcher."
Sherlock opened the face mask to see the person in front fully. This person is the most famous in the news trading business. He who calls himself 'The Truth Watcher' means a watcher of truth. And was accused of being 'The Man with No Lie'.
Information is a weapon that is sharper and quieter than a sword. Therefore, quite a few people seek information so that they do not have to be second to none. To let them know more than anyone else, to get what they desire.
And ... some people profit from information also commonly known as 'news seller'.
The True Watcher has a knack for disguise and voice changer. Whether it was an old man, a man, or a woman, that person would negotiate news sales with a different look. No real face has ever been seen, don't know either gender, age, domicile, or even real name. Even if they wanted to find this person, but no one could find. The True Watcher would appear as if he knew there would be great news or great wealth to buy news. Known symbolism is the True Watcher holding a Chinese brush. And no false information will be spoken. Therefore, is the origin of the title does not lie.
"Ho Ho, all meetings are full of meaning."
Implies a news seller who does not lie. The walking style relies on a cane, and the dry voice, like phlegm stuck in the throat, suggests that this person is a regular old drunkard beggar.

"No need to stand and talk. Why we do not look for anything to smoke that impairs our health once. "
Sherlock Holmes did not refuse since he disguised himself as a poor beggar. When they can find their own seats, the red-orange fire and the smoke emitted from it made them look like two beggars sitting together smoking drugs.
"Hmm, the face of detective looks no good. He was lethargic because there was no news issue in the newspaper or the new drug is selling too well. "
Holm ignored the questioning-greeting that is like a questioner hiding behind the closet in his house. Based on the rumors known, The True Watcher has the skill of using words to lure information for free. Being in front of this person requires him to be very careful with his words and actions.
"The way you appear shows that I have an offer to exchange."
"Oh no, no, it's the curiosity that makes you choose to follow me," laughed the True Watcher in a hoarse voice. "Is there anything the detective wants to know?"
"So, what do you want to exchange information with?" Asked Holmes. He thought that even if the other person had gibbed about him following. The True Watcher deliberately showed up to him, indicating that there must be something this news seller wanted.
"Me hold a motto of equal value. Do you think there is anything worth equal to the detective's 'John H. Watson', silver-haired partner?"
Sherlock Holmes stunned, not expecting the topic to spread to Watson. His black eyes narrowed, looking at a short figure in a ragged dress. He thought the news seller knew the Free Man Hand organization. But Watson's story is probably top-secret. He wonders how much the True Watcher knows about Watson and what reason to want to know now.
"I'm not going to sell my partner's personal affairs," Holmes answered clearly. Realize that he cannot lie to watchers of the truth as deceived Lestrade, Miss Hudson, or anyone else.
"My My, it's a shame, or will you talk about homeowner's youth secret?" The True Watcher teased, glanced at Holmes with a deceitful expression of regret. He released the smoke from his mouth, waiting for it to slowly disappear. And speak again,
"What is there detective wants to know?"
When news sellers repeatedly ask, it will be the last time before separating, and they may not see each other again.
"A group of people who are hunting the diamond. Do you know some or not?"
"Oh, but everyone needs diamonds. Nobody doesn't want a diamond, right? HO HO HO The detective's words were like throwing stones to ask for directions. Could not negotiate, let's take this ... "
The True Watcher put his hand under the veil—hand over rectangular card about the size of a show ticket. Holmes saw the number of the date, time, and place written on the card.
"This may lead to meeting those who are asking for it. Be able to go or not, there is one condition ..."

Unfinished - Apologies to anyone who was reading but I have no current intentions to revisit this story Alex was stuck in a rut: He was nearing thirty, and his career seemed to be going no-where; He used to have plenty of friends at university, but had gradually lost touch with them. He had recently started using a dating site, but truthfully he never quite got over his ex. It could be worse; he didn't spend his nights wallowing in self pity. However, he had a sinking feeling that his life was going no-where fast. When Alex decided to take up an old hobby all he really was looking for was something fun to do on friday nights. Thrust into another world by a mad mage Alex must adapt quickly to survive. Unfortunately, Alex showed up late to game night and ends up stuck with a pretty mediocre character in this game like reality. Alex must learn to survive in this new world; just because it all seems like a giant game doesn't make death any less terrifying. This will be my first attempt at writing litrpg. I wanted to set myself the challenge of writing every week and I think knowing people might be reading it will motivate me. I've always worked much better with external deadlines. FAQ Why should I read this LitRPG? I am writing because I enjoy it and you should read it if you enjoy it. If I had to make an elevator pitch I would start off by saying my MC is a rogue type character, which seems a relatively uncommon character at least based on what I have read. I also strive to make the supporting cast three dimensional characters, and not just caricatures. Finally, I can't forget that this is a LitRPG so I have tried to make a RPG system with depth, and one that makes sense. How often will you release chapters? At least once a week is my goal. I am a nurse with a baby at home, so between my hospital and my baby I won't have time for more unless something dramatically changes. Will there be romance? I won't rule it out as I try to let my characters write their own stories. However, there will NEVER be a harem, it just isn't something I am interested in. Gore, Profanity, and Traumatising Content? I don't intend to have any of these present at obscene levels, but my tolerance might be different to yours. The tags are mostly there to cover me.
