"But it's really unexpected that your fall would lead to such a dramatic result." Holmes finally couldn't help but blurt out.

After all, no one could have predicted that something like this would happen!

The cause of the incident was that Antonio was standing at the edge of a pit on the first floor and was suddenly frightened by Natasha who appeared out of nowhere, so that he completely lost his balance and fell directly from the pit into the basement.

This should have been just an extremely unlucky thing, but who could have thought that even worse things were yet to come!

When Antonio fell heavily on the basement floor, there was a loud "crack" and the floor could not bear the weight and was broken by him!

However, as the saying goes, "Misfortune may be a blessing in disguise", just when this seemingly unlucky situation came to an astonishing discovery - there was a secret compartment hidden under the floor!

This secret compartment is undoubtedly an extremely important discovery at the crime scene, and it may hide key clues or evidence.

However, just when everyone was excited about this unexpected gain, another unexpected thing happened.

It turned out that one of Holmes' legs was still on the ladder at that time. When he saw the secret compartment, he was so excited that his body leaned forward involuntarily.

As a result, he lost his balance and fell off the ladder!

The reason for this is not difficult to understand, which is why Antonio did not refute him.

After all, Antonio was only in some pain from falling to the ground, but Holmes's condition was completely different...his ankle was sprained.

However, Holmes should really be grateful to Natasha, because when he fell from the building, he was originally headfirst, but it was because of Natasha's sudden pull that he spun again in the air, and finally turned into a position with his legs facing down, and then fell heavily to the ground.

Although it is only a short distance from the first floor to the basement, if you fall headfirst, it is very likely to cause a broken neck and even endanger your life.

So, Holmes should really thank Natasha. If it weren't for her pulling, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

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

However, Holmes seemed to be unaware of all this. Although from the gap between his socks and trouser legs, it was obvious that his right ankle was thicker than his left ankle, he did not care at all.

All his attention was focused on the secret compartment, as if what was hidden there was what he really cared about.

This basement itself is hidden enough that it is difficult for ordinary people to discover its existence.

But in such a hidden place, there is actually an even more hidden secret compartment.

This makes people wonder, what kind of thing needs such strict protection?

There is no doubt that what is placed in this secret compartment must be the key evidence.

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

When the broken wood board on the secret compartment was completely removed, a hidden space appeared before his eyes. Inside, a piece of paper lay quietly. Its texture was ordinary, and it looked like a note paper torn randomly from somewhere.

However, this seemingly ordinary piece of paper attracted Holmes' great attention. He only took a quick glance and shouted as if he had been electrocuted: "Go to the Thames, immediately!!!"

His voice was filled with urgency and tension, as if the information on the paper was related to life and death. Before he finished speaking, Holmes seemed to have completely forgotten his sprained foot and rushed forward. However, his body was obviously unable to withstand such an action, and he lost his balance in an instant and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, Antonio was quick to catch Holmes and prevent him from coming into close contact with the ground. Antonio was startled by Holmes's action and asked with concern: "Fuck, what's wrong with you?"

Holmes did not answer Antonio's question, his eyes were still fixed on the note.

Seeing this, Antonio took the note from Holmes' hand and wanted to see what was written on it that made Holmes lose his composure like this.

When Antonio saw the contents of the note, he suddenly realized that this was it! The note read: "Wednesday 29th, 9pm, Thames Warehouse."

So that's it, today is exactly Wednesday the 29th. This discovery made him realize the urgency of the matter, it seems that they must go to the Thames warehouse immediately.

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

However, Holmes struggled to climb out of the pit. Just as he was about to rush to the dock like an arrow, suddenly, a whip flew out from the darkness like a ghost and wrapped around his waist like a poisonous snake.

Then, with a powerful force, Holmes was dragged back to his original place without any preparation.

"Calm down, Mr. Holmes," a deep and slightly teasing voice came, "If you go there like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to help, but will become a burden."

Holmes looked carefully and found that it was Natasha, holding the whip in her hand and looking at him with a half-smile.

Holmes couldn't help but feel a tightness in his heart. He certainly understood the deep meaning of Natasha's words.

His foot was sprained, and his mobility was greatly affected. If the situation really came to a point where a fierce confrontation was needed, he might not even be able to protect himself, let alone provide any substantial help to others.

However, Holmes did not care about Natasha's words at the moment. His attention was completely attracted by another question - how could Natasha, a weak woman, have such great strength?

You know, even though his foot was injured, he was still a strong man after all! He had tried his best to break free from the restraints, but Natasha easily held him back with just one hand.

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

Natasha didn't care what Holmes thought. She just pulled Holmes to the ground with force.

"Just stay here, little one."

After saying that, Natasha reached out and patted Holmes on the head, which made Holmes not know what to be shocked about.

If Holmes remembered correctly, he was of this height......

It can be used to stand out from the crowd.

This lady actually called him a "little guy"?!

Oh, no, that’s not the point! ! ! !

"Wait a minute, ma'am! You're not planning on going over there?"

"Yes."

Is that correct?????!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Don't you know how dangerous that is? You'd better stay at home."

In fact, Holmes said these words after careful consideration and repeated deliberation. However, it is undeniable that in the Victorian era, the image of women in the eyes of men was indeed like this: except staying at home to wash clothes, cook and take care of children, it seemed that they had no other abilities or uses.

Holmes was at least polite enough not to say something hurtful like "You can't do anything there, you'll just get in the way." But despite this, Natasha was still keenly aware of the deeper meaning of his words.

However, Natasha didn't care at all. She walked straight towards Holmes without hesitation, and the whip in her hand lifted Holmes' chin lightly like a dancing butterfly.

"You know what, Mr. Holmes?" Natasha's voice revealed an unquestionable majesty.

"Put away your ridiculous male supremacist theory. Stop looking down on us women. In our world, women have a much higher status than men! Also, I hope you can remember this: if there were no women, you probably wouldn't even have the chance to sit here!"

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

After Natasha finished speaking, she suddenly turned her head and glanced at the police officers who were still standing there in a daze.

They were obviously a little at a loss, and did not seem to immediately understand what Natasha meant, but from their expressions it could be seen that they were not waiting for Natasha, but for Holmes' instructions.

However, Natasha didn't care about these people's reactions. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a confident smile, as if she had already expected this situation.

She knew very well that the reason these people stayed here was not because of her, but because of Holmes.

However, Natasha was not going to let herself be ignored. She decided to use a special way to attract everyone's attention and make them focus on her.

Natasha suddenly raised her right leg and kicked the wall next to her with amazing force. With a loud bang, a deep crack was created on the wall!

This sudden scene stunned everyone present, and their eyes turned to Natasha at the same time.

Natasha put down her right leg and stood straight. Her eyes were cold and firm. She looked directly into everyone's eyes and said slowly:

"Even though I was abused, broke up, found a new boyfriend, got married and had children, but..."

She paused, deliberately creating a tense atmosphere.

Then he continued: "I can also beat up all of you here!"
