Chapter 411 Chapter Employment Prospects of the Detective Profession

"Was that substitute arranged by the evil god? Is there any connection between them?" Holmes' question went straight to the point.

"No. Today, Sir Morgan is a substitute arranged by the gods, not by the evil god. When the evil god abandoned the disguised identity of the Morgan family and fled, he left in a hurry. Later, in order to keep the secrets of the gods in the world, the gods had to clean up his mess and created a substitute to continue activities as Sir Morgan. One day in the future, when Sir Morgan dies of old age, the secret that the Morgan family was once controlled by the evil god will naturally disappear."

Lin You racked his brains for the answer, but in fact he still couldn't take all aspects into consideration; if Holmes's understanding of the divine world was not superficial and vague, this answer full of loopholes would not have been hidden from the famous detective.

However, although the words are not true, some basic content is true.

Because the villain in the movie fled the DC world long before the story was integrated, the knight who is now active in the British Parliament under the name of Patrick Morgan is not the original owner, but a substitute found by God from other DC comic stories.

The biggest function of this substitute is to maintain the story of the movie version of "Wonder Woman"; when the plot develops to the destined ending, He will take the place of the escaped God of Truth to be hit by Wonder Woman, killing him and allowing the story to end smoothly along the original plot.

That was the day that Lin You said, "the secret of the Morgan family disappeared naturally."

Therefore, from the very beginning Lin You knew that these two Patrick Morgans were not the same person at all. They just used the same name due to various intentional or unintentional arrangements, and there was no direct relationship between the two.

The writer subconsciously believed that the two sides should be treated differently; he acted on this premise when he assigned Irene Adler the task concerning Patrick Morgan.

Out of ignorance and reverence for the gods, Irene did not raise any objection to Lin You's arrangement; but her man was a nearly lawless person who could not be suppressed even by the gods themselves.

Following Lin You's half-truthful answer, Holmes raised another obvious question: "You think the evil god gave up the Morgan family because of the threat from the gods, but what if - I mean what if, he didn't give up completely? What if the evil god still controls this family? Even if it's only partial control."

"Why do you think so?" Lin You asked back.

"Perhaps it's the habit of being a detective to seriously consider every possibility, even the smallest one." Holmes replied, "I'm not blaspheming God, but in myths, gods have made mistakes more than once, and deceiving each other is also the norm; so, can we be sure that the evil god's control over the Morgan family has been completely destroyed?"

Just because this matter was arranged by God himself - Lin You wanted to answer like this, but he couldn't; even the words of the famous detective made Lin You suddenly start to reflect in his heart: Did he trust God's power too much?
Although in the DC world's worldview, God is supreme and in control of everything, but the God of Truth has seen through the truth and escaped from the DC world, right?

Can God absolutely control the content of the story related to the God of Truth just by replacing a substitute?
Didn't Chronos fail to control the Ophiuchus in the Saint Seiya world? Otherwise, the 13th Gold Cloth would not be worn by him now, and Minerva would not have lived in Forest Manor since she was a child.

Chronos was negligent, so why wouldn't God be negligent? Moreover, even the Supreme God couldn't enter this time restricted area.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, they are difficult to eradicate. The writer, realizing his blind spot in thinking, suddenly woke up and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

"When did you start to suspect that there was something wrong with the Morgan family? Why?" Lin You asked hurriedly. "Because of the ownership of interests." Holmes' answer was simple and direct, but full of irrefutable self-righteousness; "I don't understand the way of thinking of gods, nor do I know what kind of power gods have; so when I think about questions related to gods, I can only start with the most fundamental questions. Fortunately, although gods are gods, they still have something in common with humans, such as..."

Holmes dragged out his voice, and Lin You understood and continued: "A struggle for interests."

"Right! Whoever benefits will be suspected. I'm glad that this principle can also be applied to the God Realm." Holmes smiled complacently, "You can read this joint proposal of the congressmen carefully. Didn't you just say that the evil gods, like the gods of war, can increase their power and divine authority through war? This proposal is tailor-made for the interests of the evil gods. The content here almost wants to expand the war indefinitely and prolong it."

Lin You opened the document and laughed as he read: "Unless the Empire's demands are fully and unconditionally met, the war will never stop; during the war, any compromise or attempt to end the war in other ways will damage the fundamental interests of the Empire and will be regarded as treason... It seems that the wording is just a bit harsh, but once the bill is passed, it is equivalent to completely removing the brakes; the war will never end unless one side is completely exhausted."

"From what you said, the evil god must love this proposal very much." Holmes said with a smile.

"But the problem is that a single piece of evidence is not enough to prove anything." Lin You poured cold water on the famous detective. "Although the motion has the signature of Patrick Morgan, this family has always been known for its tough stance towards foreign countries. Otherwise, they would not have been chosen by the evil god as the target of impersonation. The possibility of coincidence cannot be ruled out."

"If you want to know whether this motion is a coincidence, you can verify it by looking up the Morgan family's attitude towards war in the past." Holmes was obviously well prepared. "For politicians, attitude depends on interests. As long as they are not controlled by evil gods, no matter how tough the Morgan family's attitude towards the outside world is, it will definitely be different when facing different enemies, right?

If they consistently take a hard line against any enemy, regardless of their interests, and just want to maximize every war, then it can't be a coincidence, right? "

Lin You pondered for a long time and nodded silently.

The Morgan family did not appear out of thin air in history. In the merged world, this family was originally senior aristocratic members of the British House of Lords, but was chosen by the God of Truth to become His incarnation in the world.

The God of Truth in the movie is primarily focused on expanding World War I; judging by the age of the body, he would not have had the time or need to interfere in earlier wars.

In other words, the behavioral logic of the comic character chosen by God to serve as a substitute for the God of Truth should also be consistent with the setting in the movie.

If they don't match, then there is definitely a problem.

"It seems that the career of detective has good employment prospects even in the God Realm."

Although Holmes's reasoning was purely accidental, it did not prevent Lin You from saying a few good words in a good mood.
