Chapter 45

Athena just thought of the possibility that Professor Ralph James Moriarty and Professor Ralph James were the same person, all of which made her feel creepy.

If Moriarty, the tutor at that time, saved his life in that car accident and changed his name to Professor James and continued to live in this world to seek revenge.If he is the instigator behind Jack the Ripper, then it seems to be able to explain the strange questions Jack asked himself on the boat.

In this way, at that ball, Professor James had decided to come to get close to him, and all the admiration and bragging were just to talk to him and win his trust.Even the subsequent concerts were nothing more than a cover.

Athena calmed down the uneasiness in her heart, sat next to Mycroft and said, "So you and Sherlock have found out the murderer behind the scenes? Right? That must be why you brought up returning to London, right?"

Mycroft nodded slightly, then looked at her and said, "Sherlock found a suspicious person named Colonel Moran through the roster you gave. According to Sherlock's judgment, Colonel Moran probably felt sorry for Jack the Ripper. The culprit behind the killer."

Speaking of this, Mycroft paused slightly, frowned and continued: "That Jack the Ripper didn't commit suicide at all. Sherlock locked the suspect on the list of the most frequently visited Colonel Moran. After I investigated him, he became more Confirming Sherlock's inference."

When Athena handed over the roster to Sherlock before, she didn't say a word of reminder. Although she has the soul of a modern person who has watched "Sherlock Holmes", she certainly knows that something is wrong with Colonel Moran.But as the current Miss Vase, Athena, she neither has the brains to find Colonel Moran, nor can she explain to Sherlock why she suspects Colonel Moran.

Therefore, it is better to hand it directly to Sherlock. After all, with his wisdom and reasoning ability, it is only a matter of time before he finds the most suspicious Colonel Moran from the list.

Now it seems that Sherlock did not find Colonel Moran very quickly as Athena expected. Not only that, he also contacted Mycroft to conduct a background check on Colonel Moran, which would also allow them to understand their opponents better.

Mycroft said lightly: "This Colonel Moran was Colonel Moriarty's comrade-in-arms. They served in the same army and have a very deep relationship. If nothing else, he is the mastermind behind Jack the Ripper. , but... After Sherlock saw the handwriting on the cards you gave, he still thought there was another possibility!"

Mycroft was about to reveal the answer, but Athena said first: "Does Sherlock think that his former tutor, Ralph James Moriarty, is still alive?"

Mycroft was obviously very surprised by Athena's remarks, and he asked, "How do you know? Sherlock felt that the handwriting on the card was similar to that of his former tutor Ralph Moriarty." The handwriting is very similar. But Ralph Moriarty has been missing for many years, if he is alive, how could he not even collect his own brother's body?"

Athena let out a long sigh, and said: "I don't know the details, but I met a professor named Ralph James at the salon dance at the Levihoek Manor, a professor of classical music. Professor of Literature.

Don't you think Ralph James Moriarty and Ralph James are a bit too similar? "

Mycroft frowned upon hearing this.

Athena said again: "If you think this is just a coincidence, you won't think so after hearing what I'm going to say next." She looked at Mycroft's eyes full of anxiety, and said: "Although This is what I just figured out!"

"What?" Mycroft asked eagerly.

"The witness to the last murder in Whitechapel was this Professor Ralph James. He was the only person who saw the true face of Jack the Ripper and escaped from his hands that night. It was he who escaped from the dead and described it to me. After knowing Jack's appearance, he followed the clues and found out this Jack Zahir from St. John's Hospital.

If there are so many coincidences in this matter, it is very likely that all the coincidences... are not coincidences, but man-made designs. "

Hearing her words, Mycroft suddenly tilted his head and asked, "Is this Professor James the man who invited you to the concert?"

"How do you know... Oh! Vettel must have told you! Will Vettel report to you every move I do?" Athena shook her head helplessly, she knew that Vettel must be giving Mycroft Special surveillance of himself, his eldest brother is really addicted to commanding agents.

But Mycroft did not answer her question. Instead, he stood up quickly after thinking for a while and said, "This Professor James has been deliberately approaching you. This is not a good sign. If he is really Ralph Moore There must be a bigger conspiracy behind Riatina."

As he said that, he was about to go out, and he did not forget to say: "I have to go to Sherlock to discuss it quickly and make a judgment as soon as possible. It is still the same sentence that I don't want to go anywhere except at home. If I really want to go out, I must call Call me."

As Mycroft was about to go downstairs in a hurry, Athena thought that the start-up funds for the Coca-Cola project she proposed to Mrs. Hudson had not yet been obtained, so she hurriedly chased after him, wanting to have a good discussion.

But today's Mycroft doesn't have such a mood, he just left a sentence: "If you want money, go to Vettel, if he agrees, he will give you the money." After speaking, Mycroft left in a hurry.

And Watson, who came up with the newly prepared "Coca Leaf Cola", just looked at Athena dejectedly and said, "What are you talking about for so long, look at the one I prepared. The coca leaf cola is out of gas. This flat coca leaf cola is just ordinary sugar water! Not only does it not have the stimulating feeling of gas, but it is also cloyingly sweet!

It's just that during the preparation stage, the Coke is so easy to lose gas. When it comes to the actual production... Can those ordinary bottles that contain medicines keep the gas in the bottles from leaking out? "

Athena looked at the stunned Watson, and couldn't help shaking her head and said, "Are you stupid? Is the soda you bought leaking?"

"It seems...it hasn't happened!"

"Then it's over! What kind of glass bottle does the soda water manufacturer use to seal the liquid and gas, and we choose what kind of glass bottle according to the same, isn't that enough!"

"Yes!" Watson immediately laughed naively after hearing this. Athena couldn't laugh or cry because of his innocent appearance. It seemed that Watson, a competent doctor, was destined not to become a cunning profiteer.

Creating wealth, working hard to become well-off, and getting rich first seems to be the only thing that depends on her. After all, if I have meat to eat, I will leave Watson with regret.

It took almost half a month just to persuade Vettel to invest in their "Coke Project". If it weren't for Athena and Watson who worked day and night, and Sherlock and Mycroft Dealing with Ralph James and not caring about their messy affairs, Vettel still doesn't know when he will agree to borrow this money!

The assembly line production is naturally Mr. Hudson's specialty. In just three days, Mr. Hudson completed the output that Athena needed, a total of [-] bottles of "Coca Leaf Cola".For capitalists in the capitalist world, their strength is always more than lip service.

But how to use these [-] bottles of "Coca Leaf Cola" to start this brand and this new drink as soon as possible, making it the most popular drink in London, is of course the top priority now.

Even in today's Victorian era, doing business is no different from that in the 21st century. Athena's plan is nothing more than two ways to go.

Or, take the civilian route of small profits but quick turnover.To become an indispensable table drink for common people in London at a low price, and to have a large base of ordinary people who can afford the price as a long-term marketing target.

Or, take the luxury route of selling at a high price.With a high-end, grand, and high-end positioning, it first entered the circle of nobles, and first became a hit in the upper class, forming a bottom-up imitative marketing goal.

Judging from the current situation of lack of funds and urgent need to pay back, it is naturally faster to choose to slaughter the fat sheep of the rich and nobles than to cut leeks.

Not only that, but choosing the marketing goal of the second high-end route is actually more effective and simpler for Athena, a social expert.

Since it is a bottom-up imitative marketing, it is necessary to find the object that the nobles like to imitate most. Speaking of this evil feudal society, of course the source is Her Royal Highness.Whenever Her Royal Highness likes something, it will become the object of imitation by all the noble ladies.

Of course!Since Athena's class is far from being able to chat and laugh with the Queen, she can only settle for the next best thing and set her sights on the royal family.

Prince Albert, who loves to spend time and drink most in the royal family, and Princess Mary, who has a good relationship with her, and even Prince Henry, whom she only met at the ball last time, are also one of Athena's goals.

As a member of the Navy, Prince Henry, if she can successfully persuade Prince George to use harmless "functional drinks" like coca leaf cola to replace the most popular alcohol in the army to paralyze the nerves of soldiers.Maybe there will be an order from the military.

So how to recommend this "coca leaf cola" to these young people in the royal family?If it was in the past, it could be done in minutes just by holding a party, but now Athena is not allowed to go out by repeated orders from Mycroft and Sherlock. Followed closely by Vettel.

The threshold of Baker Street is now like a thunder pool, and there is no way to go further.

Since you can't get out, you might as well let them in.

If it weren't for Athena's painting skills and wanting Baker Street to be patronized by members of the royal family, it would only be another scandal like Prince Albert's.

Because the relationship between Athena and Princess Mary is very good, and Prince George’s little cousin Princess Alice has always liked the portraits Athena painted for Princess Mary and Prince Albert, and has been clamoring for one piece.

But Athena was invited several times to go to Buckingham Palace to paint her portrait, but because of Mycroft's ban on Athena, the trip failed.

Now that she received Athena's active invitation, she readily agreed, and because Prince George and Princess Mary were worried, they even wanted to accompany the youngest princess of the entire royal family.

Princess Alice is the only daughter of Her Majesty's youngest son, Prince Leopold. Since Prince Leopold passed away due to hemophilia, the Queen has become more and more fond of her youngest granddaughter.Almost as long as it is what Princess Alice wants, there is nothing Her Royal Highness will not give.

If "Coca Leaf Cola" can be loved by Princess Alice, then maybe it can be recommended by Princess Alice so that "Coca Leaf Cola" can be directly tasted or even appreciated by Her Majesty the Queen...

That is an unimaginable good thing for their "Coca Leaf Cola"!
