However, at this moment, Mycroft had no time to marvel at Andrew's tremendous strength, because his eyes were completely attracted by the things in the safe - it was a mountain of gold coins!

This is really incredible! After all, this is no longer the Middle Ages. Banks have long been popular. Rich people usually deposit their wealth in banks instead of hiding large amounts of gold coins in safes like this.

What's even more puzzling is that this is a hospital! Who would be so stupid as to place a safe in a hospital ward and store such a huge amount of cash in it?

This doesn't make sense logically, unless...

“The source of this money is unknown.”

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

After telling Holmes, who was still on the first floor, about this incident, Holmes suddenly felt that this huge robbery case seemed familiar, as if there was a related record in his database on Baker Street. However, it might not be easy to find specific information from the pile of information.

After all, the amount of Holmes's information is beyond imagination, and can be described as "super invincible". These materials not only cover the details, evidence and investigation results of various cases, but also include a large number of research reports, academic papers and various related books and documents.

To make matters worse, the condition of Holmes' room was a disaster.

His things were arranged in no order, with books, documents, experimental equipment, etc. thrown away at random, and the whole room looked like it had been swept by a tornado.

Finding specific information in such an environment is undoubtedly a daunting task.

The worst part was Holmes. He had just done an experiment with the leaves Andrew had given him and nearly set the house on fire, so this place was totally unbearable to look at.

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

Andrew leaned against the door frame with his arms folded across his chest, his sharp eyes scanning every corner of the room. When his eyes fell on the mess on the floor and the furniture that was damaged beyond recognition, his brows knitted slightly.

"This is such a mess..." Andrew muttered to himself, seeming a little surprised by the scene before him.

However, he did not show too much concern or worry, but just raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

"Good luck to you two." Andrew suddenly spoke, his voice calm and indifferent, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.

Before he finished speaking, Andrew turned around without hesitation and walked out the door with big strides. His steps seemed a little brisk, as if he had gotten rid of a heavy burden.

"Anyway, this is all trouble caused by Holmes himself, so let him solve it himself." Andrew thought to himself and left the room without looking back, leaving the two people he abandoned to face the mess on the floor and the problems to be solved.

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

Originally, Mycroft was quite enthusiastic in helping Holmes in the search because Holmes was his brother.

However, as time went by, his enthusiasm gradually faded and he finally gave up. He picked up a chair from the ground and sat on it, watching Holmes continue to search in the "ruins" leisurely.

"Sherlock," Mycroft said suddenly, "if I remember correctly, our mother scolded you for always making a mess in your room, didn't she? And more than once! But what happened? Look at you now, how come you are still like this?"

Faced with his brother's accusation, Holmes was completely indifferent and didn't even bother to raise his head. He was still focused on the work in his hands, searching for what he needed in the pile of messy items.

Mycroft was annoyed when he saw this. He raised his voice and continued, "Can't you clean up a little? You make the whole room look like a garbage dump!"

However, Holmes turned a deaf ear to his complaints and even picked up a dictionary and threw it at Mycroft without any hesitation.

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

Finally, after a long and arduous search, Holmes finally succeeded in finding the book he had been looking for from the seemingly messy "ruins".

It is worth mentioning that Holmes took great pains to find this information.

Without hesitation, he went straight into the "mountain" of "ruins", as if this "mountain" was his goal.

During this process, he completely ignored the surrounding environment and possible dangers, and was only focused on finding that important document.

Mycroft, who was standing nearby, was looking at the scene in amazement.

He could hardly believe his eyes that Holmes had so desperately dived into the "ruins".

For a moment, Mycroft was even worried that Holmes might die from lack of oxygen or some other reason.

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

However, Holmes seemed surprisingly unconcerned about these things. His attention was completely focused on the information he had discovered, as if everything else had nothing to do with him.

The Hinton Bank robbery that took place 15 years ago shocked the whole of London. A group of armed gangsters rushed into the Hinton Bank and stole about tens of thousands of pounds. This sudden robbery plunged people into panic and chaos.

However, justice was eventually served and the robbers were quickly arrested by the police. The mastermind was sentenced to hanging, while the other participants were sentenced to about 15 years in prison.

However, although the criminals received the punishment they deserved, the huge amount of stolen pounds seemed to have evaporated and their whereabouts have been unknown since then.

However, what is unexpected is that it has been exactly 15 years since this case happened. What is even more coincidental is that the sentences of those criminals who were sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment were also exactly 15 years.

In this way, things seemed to become clear. All signs showed that Blessington was most likely one of the criminals in the robbery that year.

Not only did he take away all the stolen money, he also framed his accomplices, causing them to be imprisoned.

Although these are just speculations at the moment, some solid evidence is needed to prove Blessington's guilt.

And this final crucial bit of help came from Mycroft.

The serial numbers of the pounds stored in the safe that he asked his men to investigate turned out to be exactly the same as the batch that was stolen by the robbers!

It seemed that the motive for the murder was gradually coming to light. It was obvious that the accomplices who had been arrested and imprisoned for robbery were resentful of Blessington's betrayal and decided to launch a brutal revenge.

However, even if we have insight into their motives, it does not mean that we can easily find the real murderer.

To bring criminals to justice, it is not enough to rely on motive alone, we also need solid evidence to support our charges.

After all, the judiciary will not easily convict someone just because we have inferred a possible motive. In the legal world, everything must be based on sufficient evidence. Only in this way can fairness and justice be ensured.

the other side,

When Thomas anxiously chased to William's apartment, he was shocked to find that William was actually packing his luggage! This sudden scene made Thomas' heart beat faster, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind instantly. Among them, what worried him most was whether William was going to run away from home.

Thomas rushed to the door without hesitation, blocked William's way, and looked at him anxiously. However, William didn't care about his obstruction at all, just rolled his eyes at Thomas expressionlessly, then picked up his luggage without saying a word and walked straight to the door.

Looking at William's indifferent back, Thomas felt helpless and confused. After all, the two brothers had not seen each other for more than ten years, and Thomas knew nothing about William's life and thoughts.

Faced with such a situation, he really didn't know how to deal with it and could only watch William go further and further away.

In desperation, Thomas decided to ask Lydia for help.

He hurried to Lydia's clinic, and as soon as he saw her, he couldn't wait to tell her everything that had happened, and begged Lydia to help him talk to William.

After listening to Thomas's narration, Lydia showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said:

"Oh, so that's what you're talking about. Actually, William is going to India. Didn't he tell you?"

Although Lydia's tone was calm, from her observation of Thomas's expression, she could roughly guess that William must have been angry and deliberately did not tell Thomas the news.

So Lydia explained to Thomas in detail: "What happened is that one of William's friends, an Indian named Ganji, went to India to visit relatives with his wife Anne and their three children. Originally, William was going to go with them, but unfortunately, his leg was injured and he couldn't move around easily, so he couldn't go with them."

Lydia paused for a moment and continued, "But now, the Grabi Alliance has given William's team a mandatory vacation. This is a great opportunity! This way, William can take the opportunity to catch up with Ganji and his team on a ship and head to India together. So, William is packing his luggage now and preparing to leave."

After listening to Liddell's explanation, Thomas breathed a sigh of relief. As long as she didn't run away from home, it would be fine.

Although Thomas could also guess that William chose to pack his luggage at this time, a large part of it might be because he was angry with Thomas and deliberately avoided him.
