I thought it was just a lie by Lao Gu, but I didn't expect that what he said turned out to be true. Lao Gu actually sent him to Baker Street, and he really met the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes, and also met him.
Seeing his astonishing reasoning ability, Ling Fan told Holmes about the werewolf in the castle in order to solve the mystery in his heart.
Holmes thought for a while, looked up at Ling Fan, and suddenly smiled mysteriously: "Well, today I will make an exception and tell you what I am thinking in my head at this time. I think this should lead you towards the future."
Let’s go in the right direction.”
Ling Fan quickly raised his ears and listened carefully. Hearing with his own ears the speculations of the great detective Sherlock Holmes on a case was not something anyone could hear.
Holmes picked up his pipe, took a puff, and said through the white smoke: "Actually, when you told me about this case, my first impression was that it must be some kind of ghost or monster.
You must know that putting the suspicion of murder on ghosts is just an irresponsible statement by the police. Only the idiot Lestrade would believe such a thing (Note: Lestrade is a policeman who foils the image of Sherlock Holmes in the novel.
His reasoning is often ridiculed by Holmes, but Holmes values his reasoning quite a lot, because after all, he still believes that no one's reasoning is always correct, and every time Holmes solves a case, the credit will of course go to Lestrade.
, and all Holmes wants is the fun of solving crimes).
Well, after they deny that there are ghosts involved in this case, we will start with the deceased. No one will kill someone who has no meaning to him. Anyone who is killed will naturally have a reason. Look at you.
The two deceased persons mentioned were both sons of the owner of the castle. What does this mean? At least it shows that the murderer was hating the owner of the castle, and this hatred even extended to his son. As well as the discovery of the body of the maid,
What I want to tell you is that this maid is a key clue. The second deceased was found in the cave, and the maid's bones were also here. This is not a complete coincidence, but was prepared in advance.
After dropping the second dead person, throw them into the black hole..."
"But...but the door of the room was locked at that time. The key was always with the old housekeeper, and he had witnesses. This is beyond doubt." The formation of the secret room was one of the most difficult cases for Ling Fan to understand.
First, he had encountered several secret room murder cases, but this time it was the secret room that confused him the most.
Holmes rubbed his hands, his sharp eyes shot out two rays of light, looked at Ling Fan and smiled: "Wrong, you made the mistake of idealism. First of all, as you said, there is only one key, and it is
In the hands of the old housekeeper, no one else can get the key at all. But since no one else can get the key, do you really believe that the murderer will pass through the wall? Haha, Watson, let me tell you, the room
The door was opened by a key, and there are only two possibilities. One is that the old housekeeper opened it himself, and the other possibility is that someone deceived the old housekeeper's key. The reason why the old housekeeper did not tell the person
, because he wants to protect that person. Apart from these two possibilities, there is absolutely no third possibility."
"But among these two possibilities, which one is the most likely?!" Ling Fan felt that his always confident head suddenly became a little unclear in front of the great detective in front of him. In other words, he believed in Sherlock Holmes more now.
inference.
However, Holmes did not answer Ling Fan's question, but asked with a smile: "Watson, I want to ask you this time. I want to see which idea you support in your heart, and see if it is the same as what I think.
Same as?"
This is the time to formally test himself. If his thoughts are the same as those of the legendary detective, then it will be a very encouraging thing for his future police detective career. Ling Fan pondered and analyzed and judged carefully, then raised his head.
Looking at Holmes, he said: "I think——the second possibility is more likely."
"Haha, Watson, I haven't seen you for a few days. Your reasoning ability has improved. It seems that it won't take long for you to surpass me." Holmes sighed sincerely towards Ling Fan, which was consistent with his strange voice.
There was something completely different about the way he praised Lestrade in a weird way, it came from the bottom of his heart.
"Come on, Watson, let's have a drink to celebrate our coincidence." Holmes took out a glass of wine and two more glasses, handed one of them to Ling Fan and said with a smile, "Cheers!"
Ling Fan took the wine glass from Holmes and said with a smile: "Cheers, Holmes, thank you, you are really an amazing detective."
Holmes looked at Watson with a strange look, then reached out and touched his forehead, and said with a smile: "Watson, what's wrong with you today? Why are you acting weird? You seem to be different from the past."
Ling Fan was afraid that Holmes would find out his true identity, so he quickly raised his glass and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm just happy. Come on, cheers!"
Ling Fan opened his mouth and poured the strong whiskey into his mouth. As soon as the strong liquor rushed into his stomach, a strong impulse rushed into his mind. Ling Fan felt his eyes go dark, and then he unconsciously
He fell backward, and vaguely, he seemed to see Holmes throwing the wine glass in his hand to the ground, rushing forward like a cheetah and hugging him, calling Watson's name.
"Ling Fan! Ling Fan! Wake up!" This was Tian Yu's voice. Ling Fan seemed to hear Tian Yu's voice dimly.
"Okay, okay, this kid finally opened his eyes. Haha, Tianyu, I said he was fine, but you just don't believe it." This was Lao Gu's voice. Through the tiny slits in his eyes, Ling Fan saw Lao Gu.
Gu and Tianyu looked at him nervously, but seeing that he was aware of it, Lao Gu's nervous expression calmed down slightly, and Tianyu also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Phew, God bless, Officer Ling finally woke up. He really scared us to death." Tanya crossed herself on her chest and thanked God for his blessing.
Ling Fan waited for a long time before opening his eyes. He kept covering his aching head and said: "Lao Gu, you really didn't say you were panicking. I really saw the legendary detective Sherlock Holmes.
"
"Haha, look, I'm not lying to you, trust Lao Gu and meet Moss!" When Gu Rufeng heard Ling Fan say these words, he immediately became extremely confident and said to Tian Yu.
Tian Yu ignored Gu Rufeng, but looked at Ling Fan nervously and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay, thank you for your concern. I'm really okay." In order to reassure Tian Yu, Ling Fan deliberately patted his head, sat up from the sofa, jumped twice, and said.
"Officer Ling, tell me, what does Sherlock Holmes look like? Is he tall and cool?" As a loyal Sherlock Holmes fan, what Tanya wants to know most urgently at this moment is everything about Sherlock Holmes.
Sherlock Holmes.
Ling Fan smiled and nodded, winked at Tanya, and said with a smile: "Yes, he is really an amazing detective. He is so cool. I think such a great detective will never
There will be people who can surpass him because he is both confident and humble, and he also has many other abilities."
"Boy Ling, tell me, what did Holmes say to you? I see that you look very happy. Did he give you a lot of hints?" Gu Rufeng looked at Ling Fan.
Eyes, I can clearly feel that these eyes are brighter than before, and I can't help but say happily.
Ling Fan said: "No, there aren't too many hints, because after all, asking him to make inferences without seeing the crime scene violated his taboo, but even so, he still told me a lot of things,
It includes the qualities a detective should have."
"What qualities should a detective agency have? What are they?" Gu Rufeng didn't understand the meaning of Ling Fan's words, so he could only tilt his head and muttered to himself.
Ling Fan stood up from the sofa, patted Lao Gu on the shoulder, and said with a sincere smile: "That means daring to doubt everything. After all the impossible things are eliminated, no matter how impossible the remaining ones are,
, it’s all the truth!”
At this moment, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open forcefully, and the old butler Redziwell appeared out of breath behind the door, his chest heaving rapidly. It took him a long time before he spoke: "No.
...It's not good, madam...she was attacked by a werewolf!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked on the spot. You must know that it is not night now, it is only the afternoon, and there is still some time before dusk. However, under such circumstances, the werewolf dared to appear. This is beyond expectations.
According to their expectations, the werewolf that was supposed to appear at night actually chose to attack Lady Catherine during the day. This was what surprised everyone the most. But just as Holmes told Ling Fan in his dream, if you have never arrived at the scene
If so, then you cannot make any inferences, because inferences made without facts are weak and may even lead your thinking in the wrong direction.
Under the leadership of the old housekeeper, everyone ran towards Catherine's bedroom. When they arrived at the room, except for the old housekeeper, everyone almost stayed on the spot. If the two corpses were shocking enough, then
The scene in front of me was horrifying. I saw Lady Catherine lying on the floor, with a bloody hole in her abdomen, but her chest was not damaged at all. Her eyes were staring at the ceiling, dull and terrifying.
Miss Elline was so frightened that she collapsed on the floor, motionless, with two maids protecting her and taking care of her.
