Personality V: I will save everything

Holmes was not too surprised that Lucchino knew medical skills. After all, Andrew had told him before that he and Lucchino should get along well because they had a lot in common. Holmes himself also knew a little about medicine, so he was not too surprised after Andrew's advance warning.

But after reaching the second underground floor, even though I was mentally prepared, I was still shocked by what I saw.

The cold storage on the second underground floor of the warehouse is the core of the entire trading chain.

There are 27 lead containers, each filled with a mixture of ice and sawdust imported from Norway. The organs preserved in the containers include:

Heart and Kidney: Numbers correspond to fetal specimens provided by an East London abortion clinic, with formalin-soaked labels reading "Subject B-17, 28 weeks gestation".

Neural tissue: The linen-wrapped segment of spinal cord came from the Russian visitor "Prince Kurakin", with the incision matching the surgical instrument found in the basement.

Special specimens: Three crystal jars contain the eyeballs of albinos. The residues of Datura alkaloids on the irises form an intertextual relationship with the "hallucinogenic experiments" recorded in the Blessington Laboratory.

The thermometer hanging on the wall shows that the cold storage is maintained at 4°C all year round - which is surprisingly consistent with the standard temperature for organ preservation in modern medicine.

Even more horrifying is that a large amount of phosphorus was detected in the ground drains. This chemical substance used for embalming corpses is exactly the same as the method used to fake corpses during Operation Mincemeat during World War II.

"Damn it!" Mycroft stared at the tragic scene in the basement with wide eyes and astonishment. The anger and shock in his heart made him curse out loud involuntarily.

The basement was filled with a disgusting stench of decay, and the walls and the floor were stained dark red, as if they were soaked in blood.

Various human organs were scattered randomly everywhere, some were still trembling slightly, as if their owners had just been cruelly deprived of their lives.

As a government agent, Mycroft had seen many crime scenes, but the scene before him still made him feel horrified.

This is simply a living hell, a large organ trafficking ground. The organs being trafficked once belonged to living beings, but now they are being desecrated and trampled upon.

What's worse is that there is more than one floor in the basement. In other words, there are other things waiting for them.

The laboratory on the third underground floor was equipped with the most advanced medical equipment at the time:

Dissection table: An angle-adjustable shadowless lamp is installed on the cast iron tabletop. Surgical knives, nerve hooks and other instruments are hung on the iron frame beside the table. The numbers correspond one by one to the "experimental subjects" in the basement experiment report.

Anesthesia system: A rubber mask hanging from the ceiling is connected to a tank of Datura extract, which controls the dosage to put the victim in a "conscious but incapable" state.

Recording system: The wax cylinder record of the phonograph in the corner contains screams in twenty-three different languages, one of which is in Russian and is highly consistent with the voice of "Prince Kurakin".

"You know what?" Antonio's voice echoed at the door of the basement, with a hint of teasing and sarcasm, "If I remember correctly, Jenny just killed a few guys who were extremely evil and deserved to die. But you so-called media, like you discovered a new continent, hyped up her story in the newspapers. You portrayed her as an unforgivable murderer, but what is the reality?"

His words were full of disdain and contempt for humans, as if in his eyes, humans were the real devils. "You humans are the real scary killers!" Antonio's voice became louder and louder. "For profit and power, you kill your own kind by any means, yet you shamelessly accuse others of being monsters."

Antonio, standing at the door of the basement, was tall and mighty, and he exuded a chilling aura. Although he was a demon, at this moment, what he said was irrefutable. Because this was the cruel reality.

But it is precisely this “irrefutable” fact that is the biggest irony.

"Come to think of it, it should be Antonio's turn this time. But you seemed to have given up on your own initiative." At this moment, Luchino suddenly said this, which made people a little confused.

Antonio's face changed slightly when he heard this, but he quickly regained his composure. He replied as if nothing had happened: "Yes, I'm not interested in this anyway. Besides, haven't we already reached an agreement? I will be Andrew's bodyguard, although he hardly needs protection."

When Andrew heard Antonio's words, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, and then said:

"Yes, we do have such an agreement between us. However, I never said that I don't need protection. It's just that compared to those other non-humans, I may indeed be safer."

Holmes listened quietly to the conversation between the three of them, thinking to himself.

He noticed that it seemed possible to infer from their words that Andrew was the core of all this.

If you think about it carefully, it is true. Almost all the non-humans who come here are demons, mermaids, ghosts and other strange monsters. Only Andrew is an elf, a positive creature.

Such a contrast is so obvious that it is hard not to be curious and concerned about Andrew.

However, the real key issue at this moment is not this. The warehouse on the Thames is simply a deadly existence! As long as they walk around a little, I am afraid that anyone can easily guess where the evidence is.

Such a major incident is obviously beyond the ability of a private detective like Sherlock Holmes. After all, this is no longer an ordinary case, but involves more complex and powerful forces.

Fortunately, however, Mycroft happened to be standing next to Holmes at that moment.

With the intervention of government officials, the situation may improve.

After all, the government has more resources and power and can handle such thorny issues more effectively.
