Thomas didn't want to argue with William at all. He was still the silent man. He hadn't changed.

William hated his brother's attitude and he couldn't stand his brother's sullen look.

Although I have my own thoughts and opinions in my mind, I am always like a silent wall, with no response.

No matter whether it was agreement or criticism, no matter what the words were, William felt that it was fine as long as they were said.

Because only by speaking out can you know what consequences it will cause.

However, Thomas is always like this. He chooses to remain silent and silently obeys his father's so-called arrangements, as if his opinions and ideas are not important at all.

"You know what? Thomas, looking at you like this, I feel so deeply moved that I can't express it in words." William said as he slowly stood up from his chair. His eyes were fixed on Thomas, as if he wanted to see something deeper through his appearance.

"When I left home, I made a vow, and now, seeing you like this, I am more convinced of the correctness of that vow." William's voice was slightly low, but with a firmness that could not be ignored.

He took a deep breath and continued, "I never want to live like you." These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting the air hard and shocking people.

After saying that, William sighed softly, seeming to feel a little helpless and disappointed with Thomas. He originally wanted to enjoy a quiet time here, drink a few glasses of wine, and relax, but Thomas's appearance completely disrupted his plan.

"Oh, let's go." William shook his head and turned to leave.

After being disturbed by Thomas, he had completely lost the mood to drink and just felt a little depressed.

the other side,

Andrew lay limply on a chair in the corridor on the first floor of the hospital like a lazy cat, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was about to fall asleep in the next second. His head kept moving up and down, as if he was making a final struggle against sleep.

In a conference room not far away, a group of people were discussing the case enthusiastically, but their discussion was like a pile of loose sand, with no clue. Although a long time had passed, they still could not sort out a clear thread.

There are so many suspicious points in this case that it’s dizzying.

First of all, there was the strange father and son who suddenly appeared. Their appearance was puzzling, as if they came from another world.

Then, the deceased's behavior became extremely strange and puzzling.

What is even more incredible is that the Masonic symbol inexplicably appears in the painting.

There were also some strange marks left on the body of the deceased, which made the whole case confusing and a mess.

"Everyone, I think I have a great idea about that father and son. Why don't you just go and ask the parties involved?" Andrew suddenly stood up from his chair. His movements were a little hurried, as if the idea had just flashed through his mind.

Then, he quickly walked to the side and stretched out his hand to open the door of the ward. The door slowly opened, attracting everyone's attention, but the scene behind the door surprised everyone - the Russian father and son were standing there quietly!

The father and son were the two people who came to the hospital that day. Their appearance was so abrupt that it caught people off guard. However, what was even more unexpected was that when they heard that Blessington, who lived on the second floor, had died, they did not show the slightest surprise.

The police officers looked at each other, wondering: Could it be that this father and son had nothing to do with the case? Their calmness was inexplicable.

Anyway, at least Holmes felt that the matter was not that simple. The other party had no reaction after hearing about Blessington's death. There were only two possibilities -

The first and most direct one is that they may be the murderer or they may be related to the case. They knew that Blessington had died a long time ago, or they knew that he was definitely dead, so they did not react too much to it.

The second possibility is that they have nothing to do with the case. After all, this is a hospital, and it is very common to see people dying in hospitals, so there is not much reaction to this.

But no matter which possibility the result is, more evidence is needed to prove it. So-called intuition alone cannot serve as evidence.

.................................................. ........................

So, Holmes suddenly had an idea and decided to disguise himself as a new intern so that he could observe more closely the process of Dr. Trevelyan examining his patients.

As Dr. Trevelyan began to examine the old gentleman who claimed to be suffering from "catalepsy," Holmes cleverly stood by and observed with seemingly nonchalant eyes.

As Holmes expected, when the old gentleman was ill, his eyeballs would turn upward strangely, revealing spider-like red blood vessels on the whites of his eyes. However, this phenomenon was not a true symptom of the disease, but a physiological reaction after taking atropine.

At the same time, Holmes's eyes fell on the brass cigarette case which the young son carried with him, and, taking advantage of his height, he managed to catch a glimpse of the Masonic triangle engraved on the inside of the case.

This discovery made Holmes' heart move, and he immediately thought of the same mark on the inner layer of the Blessington safe. Could it be that there is some secret connection between the two?

Holmes wondered to himself, could it be that this old gentleman, his young son, and Rexington were all members of the Freemasons? This thought lingered in his mind, and he decided to investigate further to uncover the truth behind this mystery.

.................................................. ........................

On the other side, Mycroft, after some twists and turns, finally found an experienced locksmith. However, when he told the locksmith that he wanted to open the safe on the second floor, the locksmith's face became a little solemn.

"Sir, this is not an easy task," the locksmith said. "The lock cylinder of that safe is very complicated. It will take some time to crack it."

Mycroft was a little anxious, but he also knew that this was not an easy task. Just as he was about to wait patiently, Andrew suddenly spoke.

"Maybe we don't need to go through so much trouble." Andrew said with a smile.

Mycroft looked at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant. Andrew did not explain further, but walked to the safe and took a closer look.

Suddenly, Andrew stretched out his hands and grabbed the door of the safe tightly.

Mycroft looked at him in surprise, only to see Andrew exert force suddenly, and the door of the safe was torn open!

Mycroft's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he saw. Andrew was able to tear open the safe with his bare hands, this was simply beyond imagination!

Mycroft inexplicably thought of the punch Andrew had given Holmes just now. He really controlled his strength.
