"Good morning, Mr. Holmes."
In the blurry illusion, Lorenzo heard someone calling him. The voice seemed familiar. He tried to find the direction of the voice and ran hard in the bizarre hallucination.
Lorenzo slowly opened his eyes. As the light fell, he felt a slight pain in his head. He subconsciously grabbed the pocket watch hanging beside the bed and checked the time. Lorenzo had slept for a long time.
It was very strange. Lorenzo was a very self-disciplined person. He fought and killed people every day. He was very self-disciplined. Even if he came back late at night, he would get up on time. But it seemed that the fatigue from thinking last night tortured him. Lorenzo was in a trance and barely got up from the bed.
"Good morning."
He answered casually, but soon his confused mind became clear and his eyes became sharp.
Lorenzo had lived in Old Dunling for so long, but no one had ever woken him up. Even when Mrs. Van Rudd wanted to see him for something, she would bang on the door instead of coming in and calling him.
He subconsciously reached towards the crack of the bed, where a dagger was hidden, but soon Lorenzo's sleepy eyes cleared up and he saw who was coming.
"Yawei? Why are you here?"
Looking at the old butler in front of him, Lorenzo felt a little surprised. Yawei was annoyed with him to death, and he would never appear in front of him unless it was necessary.
Yawei had a stern face and spoke in a bad tone.
"Of course something's wrong. You've kept me waiting for a long time."
Lorenzo looked at the time again. It seemed that Yawei could not wait any longer, so he had to come in and wake Lorenzo up himself.
"Hurry and get dressed, we don't have much time."
Yawei came prepared and threw a nice outfit to Lorenzo. Judging from the fabric, it was not cheap.
"What's going on?"
Lorenzo was a little confused. He had just woken up and another busy day was about to begin. Maybe... this was his life of hard work.
"After our introduction, someone is very interested in you and wants to hire you to investigate a case." Yawei explained directly, and took the opportunity to lift Lorenzo's quilt to make him wake up faster.
"We agreed to meet at noon, but you slept too long, so we'll have to take care of the rest on the way."
Seeing that Lorenzo was dressed better and could fix his coat and other things in the carriage, he pulled Lorenzo up and dragged him forward.
Maybe he was a little confused due to sleep. When Lorenzo came to his senses, he and Yawei were already sitting face to face in the carriage. The carriage was running very fast, quickly moving away from 121A Cork Street.
"Put it on."
Yawei handed Lorenzo his coat and a comb, asking Lorenzo to tidy up his messy hair.
"Where are you taking me?"
"You'll know when you get there. Besides, aren't you a detective? Do your own reasoning."
Seeing Yawei like this, Lorenzo fell silent, put on his coat, tidied his makeup, took the razor that Yawei had prepared in advance, and shaved his stubble to make himself look less sloppy.
"Another big shot? Some high-ranking guy who wants me to do a case for him?"
Lorenzo said as he tidied himself up, still looking a little sleepy, after all, he was still sleeping in his warm nest a few minutes ago.
