Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

After leaving the bedroom, Sherlock wandered around the mansion and soon discovered a room that seemed amiss.

Whether it was the glamorous maids or the servants who actually did the work, almost everyone seemed to ignore this room. Even the cleaning servants would simply walk around it.

Moreover, the density of security personnel patrolling outside this room was significantly higher than that of the other rooms.

There's definitely something shady going on in this room!

After making this deduction, Sherlock did not rush into the room. Instead, he gently pressed his hand against the door of the room, and with the help of alchemy, a cold smile quickly appeared on Sherlock's lips.

Just as he had expected, behind this seemingly ordinary door were countless sensors.

Opening this gate rashly would not only send Obadiah a text message alert, but it would also alert the entire estate's security system.

Most importantly, this security system is the most advanced kind that you can find on the market, and it even has countless redundant secondary security systems beneath it.

Putting everything else aside, the mere presence of these security systems suggests that something extremely important to Obadiah is definitely hidden behind this gate.

Although in theory the security system in this room could trigger an alarm if anyone entered except for Obadiah, the owner, unfortunately, Sherlock is no ordinary person.

Sherlock randomly picked a nearby spot, used alchemy to create a hole in the wall, and walked in without a care in the world.

Clearly, these so-called security systems take into account intrusion through the main door, windows, and even exterior walls, but they fail to consider the possibility of someone silently entering the room through the interior walls.

As Sherlock entered, everything in the room was quickly revealed to him.

The room's decor still follows that luxurious style, with solid wood coverings everywhere, giving it a very old-money feel.

The flooring and carpets on the ground are also quite valuable.

To Sherlock's surprise, the room, which was so heavily guarded, contained only a table, a chair, and a computer that was not connected to the internet.

Despite the table's unparalleled magnificence and its enormous size, and despite the chairs' obvious comfort, the simple furnishings still surprised Sherlock.

Stepping forward, Sherlock cautiously tried to turn on the computer in front of him.

Perhaps it was the security of the manor and the security system in this room that gave Obadiah confidence, because the computer in this room did not have a system lock set, and Sherlock entered the computer system almost without any hindrance after turning it on.

However, when Sherlock began to examine the computer, he was still stunned by what was stored on it.

This computer contains a large number of blueprints for weapons designed by Tony.

It's no exaggeration to say that as long as you get your hands on these blueprints, and assuming the supply chain isn't too bad, mass-producing these weapons would be absolutely no problem.

Aside from these weapon design blueprints, what Obadiah actually stored most of were videos with the .avi extension?

Obadiah has this little quirk?

Sherlock opened the video with a critical eye and was completely dumbfounded. The reason was simple: Sherlock had just seen the protagonist of this short video on the news channel on TV a couple of days ago!

Goodness, who would have thought that the guy who acted so righteous and awe-inspiring when facing reporters would be such a playboy in private?

Incredulous, Sherlock promptly pulled out a USB drive from his four-dimensional pocket and backed up all the videos one by one before finally shutting down his computer, satisfied.

Unfortunately, Sherlock still couldn't find any evidence or clues on the computer that Obadiah had murdered his parents, but he did find evidence that Obadiah had stolen Stark Industries' weapon blueprints.

After thinking for a moment, Sherlock placed his hands on the ground and activated his alchemy. Soon, with his All-Knowing Perception, Sherlock discovered a safe hidden inside the wall.

A safe might be a hassle for an ordinary person, but for Sherlock, it's no different from something made of paper.

With a casual use of alchemy, Sherlock severed the latch on the safe and opened the hidden safe in less than a minute.

Inside the safe, besides a huge amount of money and gold jewelry, Sherlock also found several documents.

One of the documents was a company document with Obadiah as the legal representative. This company was established in Southeast Asia and was a standard manufacturing company. Sherlock took out his phone, looked up the company's name, and then a speechless expression appeared on his face.

The case is solved. Sherlock has finally figured out exactly how Obadiah bypassed Tony's surveillance to smuggle weapons into the Middle East.

Or to be more precise, Obadiah never smuggled weapons for Stark Industries!

He simply stole weapon blueprints from Stark Industries, then had his "contract manufacturers" produce the weapons, and then legitimately shipped them all over the world with Stark Industries' logo, thereby amassing a fortune!

Not only that, what left Sherlock even more speechless was that Obadiah was not satisfied with this and wanted to swallow up Stark Industries, truly turning himself from a 'contract manufacturer' into a 'production plant'!

The most direct evidence is that Sherlock also found a number of short videos of Stark Industries shareholders on Obadiah's computer!

However, to Sherlock's disappointment, no evidence or clues were found that Obadiah had murdered his parents, which left Sherlock extremely frustrated.

Is it really because so much time has passed that Obadiah has had enough time to destroy all the evidence?

Sherlock reluctantly restored the scene to its original state and, while still remaining invisible, left Obadiah's manor.

Aside from creating a few minor, entertaining incidents for Obadiah, the infiltration of his estate caused him almost no trouble.

As for confirming that Obadiah was indeed smuggling weapons, Sherlock did not intend to tell Tony. After all, some things can only be understood by discovering them for oneself, and Sherlock would only go with the flow without pointing it out.

Moreover, for Tony, only by personally dealing with Obadiah could he truly say goodbye to the past and transform into Iron Man.

What Sherlock never expected was that when he left Obadiah's suburban "manor" and drove to his short-term rental apartment to spend the night, he saw a very familiar figure at the door of his house.

Colson!
