"Of course, if you have some unspeakable needs, you can choose to ignore what I said."

Those present certainly had no unexpressible needs.

So Ian quickly introduced himself.

"Pegasus, you can also call me Ian Pendragon."

"Stheno."

"Eurielle."

"Medusa."

Hearing the names of Ian and the three sisters, the corners of Holmes' mouth rose slightly.

“Is it actually a name from mythology?”

"Should I choose a name that's related to it?"

"..."

"Not really." Ian stopped Holmes's thoughts and said, "Tell us about the so-called murderer first."

"Right."

Holmes stepped aside and pulled out a board.

"This is a bit serious, so I'll make it short."

"In fact, what you just faced was a murderer who had been observed many times before."

"Look-"

As Holmes spoke, he connected all the points on the board together and finally described a large area.

"Does it look familiar?"

"..."

After hearing Holmes' reminder, Ian began to observe carefully.

Then he realized something.

"Isn't this all in the fog?"

"You have a good observation, my friend," Holmes praised. "And indeed it is so."

"That's a murderer who only acts in foggy weather."

"People in London called him Jack the Ripper."

"so--"

"When it gets this kind of weather, there's no one on the streets."

"Oh... not necessarily. There might be detectives like me out there."

In a few words Holmes explained the reason for the silence of the street and his own presence there.

But this made Medusa confused.

"but--"

"I was facing just a little girl."

"Medusa, you've discovered the blind spot."

While agreeing with Medusa's statement, Holmes wrote a big question mark on the blackboard.

"Yes."

"Why is the person who appeared in the fog a little girl?"

"This clearly doesn't fit the criminal's identity and goes against logical reasoning - I don't think a little girl of this age would become a murderer."

"Of course, I don't rule out the possibility that some people are born evil."

"But I still haven't found any evidence of a crime related to it, so I can't jump to conclusions."

"Wait a moment."

Stheno paused in the flow of Holmes's reasoning.

"Holmes."

"But she threw a dagger at us as soon as she came out, didn't she?"

"Yes, that is quite true." Holmes opened another drawer.

"But the key question is, are these daggers really lethal—"

"Everyone, please take a look."

Holmes took out several daggers that were almost the same as the ones that Ian had blocked before.

"These are things I've gotten by chance on various occasions."

"In fact—"

Holmes picked up one of them and stabbed himself.

Yurielle was about to scream, but she froze there.

Because she found that the other person was not injured at all.

Instead, the dagger slowly vanished from his hand, like a handful of elusive quicksand.

"do you understand?"

Holmes blew the residue gently off his hands.

"A dagger like this can't even hurt an ordinary person like me."

"Even if it hits you, I don't think it will be a problem."

"By the way—this is something I discovered through my own experiment after a sudden inspiration. I guess no one else knows this."

"..."

Holmes' words made Ian fall into deep thought.

After a long time, he spoke again:

"If that's the case—"

"Why does she throw such a dagger?"

"Want to leave a mark?"

"My friend, you really understand my thoughts." Holmes confirmed Ian's guess.

"Actually, this isn't unprecedented—letting skinny kids go and investigate, leaving behind a time stamp, and then the actual person taking action will show up later."

"This will significantly improve both the success rate and efficiency."

"Holmes, wait a moment."

Ian stopped the other party's logical and coherent narration.

"According to this statement, will Stheno and Euryale meet her again?"

"That's the theory."

As Holmes spoke, he left more information on the board.

"so--"

"I hope you can help me."

"If we can get rid of the murderer in the fog, I'm sure London will become a safer place again."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

Holmes' words caused the other four people present to fall into silence.

The three sisters looked at Ian almost at the same time.

The man also knew what they were thinking about, and quickly said:

"Holmes."

"Although this may be a bit of a dampener, but we—"

But before Ian could finish his words, Holmes had already given his answer as if it were a prediction.

"But you're not from this era, are you?"

"It's okay. I don't mind this kind of thing. After all, as long as I can arrest the criminal, I can actually achieve my goal."

“If justice cannot be achieved through procedure, then justice through results shall be the standard.”

"So, after Jack the Ripper is captured, I will do everything in my power to serve you, my friend."

"..."

Ian fell silent.

On the one hand, if he could get the Sherlock Holmes of this era to help him, he might be able to find the clock tower in no time and then repair this singularity naturally.

But on the other hand, although Holmes spoke quite tactfully, in the current situation, Ian knew that the "assistance" he mentioned was actually to use the marked Stheno and Euryale as bait to lure out the real Jack the Ripper.

Without knowing the other party's true strength, such a move will undoubtedly put the two girls in the spotlight.

however--

Ian soon discovered that he had underestimated Stheno and Euryale's determination on this trip.

The man was still hesitating about how to make a decision, but the sisters behind him had already made their own choice.

I saw Steno and Euryale walked up to Ian almost at the same time, and then said in unison:

“No problem!/No problem!”

"If it can help Pegasus, I am willing to take this risk." Stheno was the first to express his feelings.

"Sister is right." Yurielle quickly followed suit and expressed her own thoughts.

"Since this man called Sherlock Holmes has such powerful abilities, I really hope to have his help."

"you……"

Ian's expression was worried at first, then gradually turned into understanding.

This is a sign that they want to help themselves.

In that case——

What else is there to refuse?

Just do your best to protect them!

"I understand." Ian nodded. "Then it's settled!"

Snapped--

Snapped--

Snapped--

Holmes applauded.

"as expected."

"Ian Pendragon, you hold a very high position among your wives."

"Huh?" Ian was stunned.

"Wives?"

"Yes." Holmes's eyes swept over Stheno, Euryale and Medusa who were present.

"If my judgment is correct—"
