Sherlock Holmes

Stanley Hopkins

A person with a very simple and traditional life, no miserable life experience, no miserable childhood, no parents who were shot dead by muggers in an alley, and no one who was targeted by perverts and then locked up and tortured for more than ten years. younger sister.

He is an ordinary genius. The only thing that may be a little special is that he is a person who absolutely worships the law.

Just like Watson's worship of beauty, he also has a fascination with the law that ordinary people cannot understand. The feeling of looking at the world from the perspective of absolute fairness and justice makes him fascinated. This kind of worship even To override his respect for the Holy Light, it's just that the existence of the empire's highest judicial body [the Inquisition] is based on the Holy See, so he turned himself into a seemingly devout believer.

At the age of eleven, he completed all the studies an empire citizen should complete.

In the same year, he entered a monastery and studied intensively.

Anyone who sees him will say that he is an absolute genius; his strict attitude towards the law and his quick thinking shown in various cases made it logical for him to become a famous criminal before the age of 30. He is a leader of the new generation of intellectuals, and he has also been favored by the Supreme Court Justice and accepted him as a student.

Hopkins once said that the Imperial Code was already known by heart in his mind. This was not an exaggeration, because when he first read that sacred book, the words were already engraved into him like magic. mind, and he is willing to swear to anything that he will dedicate his life to those words.

Compared with being a respected third-level contractor, he actually cares more about his status as a judicial officer. If nothing happens, he will continue to advance on this path until he succeeds his teacher and becomes the most powerful person in the history of the Holy Spirit. Young Justice.

But everything changed on that day, in that church, during the long conversation he had with his teacher all night long.

In his hands, he holds evidence of an emperor's crime. It will be the most ambitious case he has ever handled in his entire life.

But at that moment, the teacher he had always respected as a father calmly refused to go to court to accuse Emperor Augustine and imprisoned the entire third division of the Inquisition.

In fact, as smart as Hopkins, he certainly knew what a huge impact it would have to portray the greatest emperor of the empire as a murderer at that time. Even his teacher was doing this to protect himself.

But that's what the law says. Those black and white letters, every word, accuse the old emperor of being guilty, but that man didn't receive any trial.

Before that, Hopkins had never believed that the sacred "Imperial Code" would one day lose its effect, but within a month after that, he saw in the newspaper that the old emperor had voluntarily abdicated. When people across the empire arrived, they bid farewell with tears. They saw the people on the long street paying their highest respects and saw the criminal being pushed to a saint-like throne.

A massacre, got the most happy ending

At that moment, he seemed to realize one thing, law and justice did not seem to be the same thing.

So what is it that I have been pursuing?

The once most determined genius finally experienced confusion for the first time in his life;

And just when the faith he had always believed in gradually became blurred, a man appeared. A madman rushed into the ancient Roman city without hesitation, staged a massacre similar to that of the London airship crash, and picked it up with a stick. The dead branches that rose up ended the old man's life.

It's an understatement, murderous.

When he received this news, Hopkins should have been furious. He should have regarded that man as the most vicious criminal in the entire empire, because he had committed almost all the crimes written on the first page of the Imperial Code.

But in his mind at that time, he inexplicably felt a trace of joy, a trace of longing, and a trace of longing that made him feel extremely panicked.

Ignoring the law, taking human life lightly, committing murder, trying to plunge the empire into turmoil and disregarding the stability of human society.

Naked terrorists!

That night, Hopkins didn't sleep. He just stood in front of the window and stared at the night sky until the sun shone on the world again the next morning.

He was released, and then, with an exception, he was promoted to become the presiding judge of the third division of the Inquisition. At the inauguration ceremony, his teacher gave him a look of relief and blessing, because he never mentioned the guilt of Emperor Augustine again. things.

Hopkins didn't know why he was relieved. He just found that his mood had changed, but he didn't know what it had become.

Until one day, he came into contact with a murder investigation mission originating from Whitechapel.

And a week later, I picked up an unsigned letter at the door of my office.

In the darkness, the motorcade has arrived in Lower London.

Compared to the darkness in the upper city area, this place looks brighter for the first time in history. After all, the laying of circuits must be done in the upper city area first, while in the lower city area, only a few important main lines have been connected. .

The convoy continued to drive like this. In fact, when it came to these gas lamps that were still on, this mighty convoy lost its main destination.

Because they have escaped from the darkness, where will they go next?

No one knew, so people just followed the first armored vehicle in front and continued walking forward. It seemed that they were going to walk like this all night.

I don’t know whether it was the revelation of the Holy Light or an unintentional coincidence. When Hopkins regained consciousness again, he found that the vehicle was driving through an intersection, and on the illuminated road sign, it read: With the words [Baker Street].

He was startled.

at the same time

"Otherwise, just stay here. The block is very narrow, there are no messy shelters, and I'm familiar with it." Sherlock said softly.

"good."

Hopkins nodded and slowly stopped the vehicle.

Of the two people speaking, one is the strongest Ripper at this stage, and the other is a crazy person who can kill people before the Ripper kills people.

But now, these two guys are talking in the calmest tone, making everything seem extra ridiculous.

What's even more ridiculous is that these two people are still protecting Miss Nightingale

Therefore, the most beautiful girl in the world is a little confused at the moment, because she does not understand that now that the Ripper has been found, what is it that she is avoiding now?

Puzzles beget more puzzles.

Hopkins opened the door of the armored vehicle and told several soldiers outside that they would be stationed here tonight. Soon, the soldier gave the order to the entire team.

Nightingale followed the two of them out of the car and looked at this strange neighborhood. She didn't quite understand why Sherlock just said that he was familiar with this place. Could it be that this was where he lived?

Although he always emphasizes that he has always been a civilian, can the person who can make the current Pope pay so much attention to him, let the old man walk out of the town, and assassinate an imperial king, really live in this kind of neighborhood?

she does not know

At this time, she was thinking that if she just screamed so suddenly and called out that these two men were murderers, countless guns would be pointed at the two men beside her in an instant and they would be killed.

However, neither Hopkins nor Sherlock cared at all that the girl would suddenly shout out her true identity. They were even looking around in the dim light, as if they were still carefully protecting themselves.

At this moment, I didn’t know whether the girl was crazy or whether she had gained unparalleled courage during her long travels. She smiled.

I actually felt that I felt quite safe next to these two murderers.
