There was a moment of silence before Winston reached out his hand and shook hands with James Morea, "I will do my best to support your research."
James Morea said with a smile, "That's wonderful, but besides the necessary funding, I need help from you, Prime Minister, to deal with some obstacles. Our Doomsday Party Members adhere to our teachings and never lay hands on our unaware compatriots, so when we encounter trouble, we need to rely on external forces."
Winston felt somewhat relieved to hear the Doomsday Party Members adhered so strictly to their rules, and he asked, "What kind of trouble? Who is hindering you?"
"Recently, a rat has been investigating me, buzzing around like a fly..." James Morea said in a low voice, "His name is Sherlock Holmes, Prime Minister. You must have heard of him."
"Holmes?!"
Winston's eyelid twitched; of course, he had heard of the name. Who in London didn't know the famous Mr. Holmes?
He had solved more cases than many have had hot dinners!
