“Dead? The leads are broken again?” Sherlock asked when Bru reported to him .
“No, the gamers found new leads, the cat in the box,” Bru said as an image appeared on Sherlock's computer . The image was a post from the discussion forum . The gamers had recorded a three-minute video about a box that contained a cat puppet .
“This is a puppet cat that has Rune Mana . ” Polio looked at the puppet on the screen and recognized it immediately .
The parrot on Sherlock's shoulder nodded and said, “Someone used the Rune Mana to control this puppet . Could it be a playful prank made by a child?”
The kitten and the parrot were talking, but Sherlock didn't join them . He asked, “Where is this puppet cat?”
“Since it's a piece of evidence from the crime scene, it was taken back to the Winterfell Garrison Guard station,” Bru said .
Sherlock took his overcoat and prepared to leave . But Bru said, “Lord Sherlock, there's news on the forum that I'm very concerned about . I feel that you should take a look,” Bru said, and the screen showed a video that depicted Arthur and his comrades meeting with the mole shopkeeper .
In the video, the mole shopkeeper mentioned six guests .
“Lord Sherlock, I know it's not appropriate to probe, but are you sure that you haven't been following them?” Bru asked .
Sherlock shook his head and said, “No, I wouldn't do such a thing, but I can guess who it is . Bru, find Brainiac, and have him come to my office . ”
Bru was feeling bewildered and replied to Sherlock, “Er, Lord Sherlock, Brainiac isn't in Eternal Kingdom or the Winterfell Adventurer's Guild . He's also not within the activity boundary of the gamers . Is he on leave today?”
Sherlock stroked his chin and pondered . Then he said, “This is interesting . Don't find Brainiac . He's missing . ”
“Are you sure that Brainiac has been following Arthur and his comrades?”
“It's too far-fetched to say that he was following them . Brainiac is also investigating the whereabouts of Professor Bacon . He could have bumped into them . We have to find Brainiac to know the truth . ” Sherlock shrugged his shoulders and left the Dungeon Lord Main Hall . Sherlock was frowning, so he wasn't in a good mood .
In the Winterfell Dungeon Lord Main Hall .
Sherlock sat before Nicholas . Between them was the puppet kitten obtained from the Winterfell Garrison Guard station .
“Lord Sherlock, is this puppet related to the missing Professor Bacon?” Nicholas asked solemnly .
“Hmm? How does Dungeon Lord Nicholas know?” Sherlock raised his brow . He didn't expect Nicholas to know about the missing Professor Bacon .
“Ah, I just obtained information from the Garrison Guards . Gamers of Eternal Kingdom reported a case to the Garrison Guards and provided some strange messages . They said that the messages were related to the missing Professor Bacon . From the five suspects, I mean, witnesses' testimonies, they were searching for the missing Professor Bacon,” Nicholas explained, and Sherlock nodded .
“I see . It's as Dungeon Lord Nicholas has said . Due to some reason, Professor Bacon went missing . Before he went missing, he wrote letters to Brainiac, who is his favorite student . I will definitely help Brainiac, so I let my citizens go out and search for Professor Bacon . I didn't expect such an unfortunate incident to occur . ”
“Yes, it's depressing . The young shopkeeper was burnt to death due to an accident…” Nicholas nodded and was looking very sad .
“Is the Garrison Guard treating the case as an accident?” Sherlock was taken aback .
“Yes, it's normal to have an accident considering the shopkeeper was operating a restaurant and had an open fire around flammable objects . I ordered the inspection of all of the fire hazards in Winterfell . The relevant departments are to supervise and impose heavy penalties on offenders . ”
Sherlock nodded and pointed to the puppet kitten on the table as he said, “Then, the case should be handled as an accident . Yes, can you give the puppet kitten to me?”
Nicholas wouldn't decline Sherlock's request . He generously gave the puppet to Sherlock .
Sherlock discovered the secret within the puppet .
It was a concealed Magical Recording Device .
The eyes of the puppet were round Adamantine rocks that recorded images .
Sherlock brought the puppet kitten back to Eternal Kingdom . When he was in the Dungeon Lord Main Hall, he infused his Mana into the puppet, and images appeared .
A blurred image of Professor Bacon appeared . He looked very nervous .
“If you see this image, Brainiac, it means you've found the correct leads . I can't say too much, and I can't tell you where I am because I don't know . I'm unable to articulate the events that I encountered . Perhaps, you will be able to find a way to locate me . ”
Professor Bacon looked around and used his mouth to say a few words silently, then the images stopped .
The other Maninfused round Adamantine rock only showed videos of cats .
Yes, it was all about cats .
“Hmm… What does it mean? He could have spoken, so why did he do a charade? Professor Bacon doesn't have lips, so we're unable to decipher what Professor Bacon was saying,” Bru said with exasperation .
But Sherlock remained silent . He lowered his head and was in deep thought . Then, his eyes lit up, and he said, “I got it . ”
“What? Lord Sherlock, you know the answer?”
