Personality V: I will save everything

"Oh, you finally came up!" Antonio stood aside with a joking look on his face, looking at the breathless Holmes, and seemed to find his miserable appearance very amusing.

It turned out that when Holmes was trapped in the basement, Antonio did not take immediate action to rescue him. Instead, he slowly found a ladder and extended it into the basement, and then brought Holmes up.

However, Holmes was obviously dissatisfied with Antonio's behavior. He glared at Antonio and muttered to himself: "This guy could have used his long hair to pull me up directly, but he insisted on keeping me down there for so long. It's really abominable!"

However, although he felt a little unhappy, Holmes did not lose his temper on the spot.

He took a deep breath, adjusted himself, and then said to Antonio as if nothing had happened: "Thank you for your 'help', Antonio. But next time if you encounter this situation again, I hope you can be a little faster."

Antonio didn't bother to pay attention to him.

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

Only after the forensic doctor began to search for clues carefully did Holmes finally breathe a sigh of relief, and then carefully climbed down the ladder.

As soon as he entered the basement, Holmes was stunned by the scene before him. This basement was simply a hodgepodge of crimes, with all kinds of criminal evidence piled up in a disorderly manner, making people dizzy. Picking out any one of them was enough to sentence Blessington to more than ten years in prison.

"Oh my God..." Even the experienced and experienced forensic doctor couldn't help but exclaimed. He really couldn't imagine that there were so many crimes and secrets hidden in this basement.

The forensic doctor suppressed his inner discomfort and began to carefully check every corner. Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a notebook. This notebook looked a little special, as if it was made of some animal skin.

The forensic doctor frowned, carefully picked up the notebook with tweezers, and brought it in front of everyone. However, when everyone saw the material of the notebook, they all gasped at the same time.

"This...what animal's skin is this?" someone asked stutteringly.

No one answered, because everyone knew in their hearts that the answer to this question was so disgusting that it was impossible to say it out loud.

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

However, despite the extremely strong physiological nausea reaction, it is very likely that this log contains important information.

However, the forensic doctor did not have the courage to open it. Even just holding it with tweezers had exhausted all his courage.

In desperation, the forensic doctor had to turn to Sherlock Holmes for help and asked him to put on gloves to take over the diary. Holmes carefully took the diary and then used tweezers to slowly peel off the pages that were stuck together bit by bit.

As the pages unfolded, Blessington's records gradually emerged. It turned out that he recorded in detail how to turn the clinic into a "living experiment transit station" by controlling Trevelyan's economic lifeline.

On the last page of the diary, a line of horrifying words was clearly visible: "When the Russians brought 'Prince Kurakin', we finally had a perfect sample of nerve damage."

Just as Holmes was concentrating on reading the contents of the diary, suddenly, a cold voice exploded in his ears like thunder: "So that guy would look for you, a great detective, just to make you a witness to Trevelyan's death?"

The sudden sound frightened Holmes so much that he looked up suddenly, only to find that Antonio had quietly stood beside him. Holmes couldn't help but wonder why he didn't notice Antonio's arrival at all.

He calmed down and looked at Anthony carefully. Antonio looked at him with a joking expression, as if he was very satisfied with his reaction to being startled just now.

Holmes then came to his senses. It turned out that the reason why he could see the handwriting in the diary, which was so faint that it was almost illegible, was entirely because of the light produced by the fire burning on Antonio's body.

Holmes sighed inwardly, realizing that he was so focused on the contents of the diary that he completely ignored the changes in the surrounding environment.

However, he quickly adjusted his mindset and refocused his attention on Antonio's problem.

Indeed, Antonio's words make sense. However, this also raises another key question: since Blessington knew that Holmes was a famous detective, he must have known that the dark activities in the basement of the clinic would be exposed sooner or later.

After all, Holmes was known for his keen insight and excellent deductive ability, and it would be difficult to hide from him.

How could Blessington not have planned a way out for himself in this situation? He could not have been so stupid as to sit there and watch his crimes being exposed.

This is undoubtedly a puzzling mystery, which makes people speculate about Blessington’s true intentions and subsequent actions.

Indeed, Antonio's behavior could indeed have been an accident.

After all, he actually broke through the floor of the first floor, allowing everyone to see the basement at a glance, which was really unexpected.

Normally, it would be very difficult to find the basement under the clinic and find the entrance to the basement. They would need to spend a lot of time and energy to find relevant evidence and then find a way to enter the basement.

However, due to the intervention of the unexpected factor Antonio, the whole process was greatly accelerated.

Originally, Blessington might have had enough time to escape the scene, but now because of Antonio's actions, he had no time to escape at all.

However, this was exactly the problem. Even if he didn't come to Xington to escape, where could he escape to? For such a serious matter, it was impossible for him not to have arranged for an assistant to pick him up on the way.

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

"Hey, come and look at this!" Suddenly, Andrew's exclamation came from the basement, revealing a hint of surprise and fear in his voice.

Everyone was attracted by his shouting and hurriedly gathered around, wanting to know what he had found. Andrew was holding a tattered account book in his hand, his eyes full of shock.

This account book records in detail the financial transactions between Blessington and the East London abortion clinic. Every month, Blessington provides the fetuses of ten pregnant women to the "Black Mass" for some mysterious experiments.

Even more shocking is that the account book also reveals an astonishing plan of Blessington. He intends to use these experimental results to exchange for the development rights of East London real estate, thereby turning the crimes in the basement into huge commercial benefits.

However, all this is not the point. When everyone opened the account book, a letter suddenly fell out of it. The letter looked very old, as if it had been hidden for a long time.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a secret letter from the Freemasons! All the words on it were written in their unique code, which made people confused for a while.

Obviously, it would take a long time and effort to decipher the information in this letter. Everyone looked at each other, realizing that this discovery might involve more unknown secrets and conspiracies.

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

But of course, let’s put all of the above aside for now and not discuss it.

After all, the most urgent task at hand is to decipher the contents of this letter.

However, to achieve this goal, they first need to escape from this dark basement.

Holmes held on to the ladder tightly and climbed up step by step with difficulty.

Every step he took seemed extremely strenuous, as if his entire body was being dragged downward by an invisible force. But he did not give up, and with his tenacious perseverance, he finally managed to climb to the ground.

As he poked his head out of the basement exit, he took a deep breath, feeling the fresh air rushing in. However, the moment he looked up, his eyes met with Antonio and Andrew.

These two people should have been still in the basement, but now they were standing in front of him with playful smiles on their faces.

Holmes' body suddenly stiffened, his eyes widened, his face full of disbelief. He stared at Antonio and Andrew blankly, and for a moment he even forgot where he was.

"Oh..." Holmes sighed, as if responding to their expressions. Then, as if he had lost all his strength, he fell limply to the ground on the first floor, making close contact with the cold ground.

"Okay, stop playing around, let's get down to business!!!"

Holmes's expression changes so quickly that it is unparalleled.
