Chapter 111 Vice Chairman Boka
Mr. Aiwass could hardly contain himself at the thought that Sherlock Hermes and James Moriarty, the original arch-nemeses of the novel, had both faked their deaths today.
However, Mr. Aiwass sharply caught sight of a blind spot in his vision.
The reason Lawyer York could directly confirm Sherlock's death was simple—because he was the one who had personally taken action. He had administered sleeping pills to Sherlock and had timed the explosion of the bomb he had prepared for when the drugs took effect. He also received the news of Sherlock's death at a reasonable time.
From this perspective, the fundamental reason he could confirm Sherlock's death… was actually because it was what York deeply hoped for in his heart.
Although Counselor York's position within the Lohar Society seemed relatively high, at this moment, his situation was quite awkward. He absolutely couldn't expose himself in this case, yet he had to personally kill Sherlock.
