Why is My Second Dimension Weird?

This kid is obviously over the top.

Even Holmes had failed, and more than once.

For example, the name Irene, Xu Ming guessed that Holmes probably wanted to commemorate the only woman who defeated him and left a deep impression on him, Miss Irene Adler.

It's just that Xu Ming didn't want to say anything more this time.

You can't tell a granddaughter who adores her grandfather so much that your grandfather not only failed, but failed several times.

There was complete silence in the carriage.

Xu Ming gave Irene a sympathetic look.

She is doing well, and others will think that she should, after all, she is the descendant of 'that'.If she doesn't do well, she will attract strange looks from others.

With a great ancestor, the pressure is not ordinary.

No wonder the descendants of many great men are reluctant to do the same work as their ancestors.

After the carriage returned to 221B Baker Street, Irene locked herself in the attic.

Xu Ming sighed, and put the case file in his hand on the desk in the study.

"Miss doesn't seem to be very interested, what happened?"

At this time, a worried voice came.

As soon as Xu Ming turned his head, he looked at the old butler in the direction of the third floor with a worried expression on his face.

"It's like this..."

After thinking about it, Xu Ming told Butler Wallace what happened before.

"It turned out that something like this happened..."

After listening to Xu Ming's description, the old housekeeper heaved a long sigh.

"Sigh... Missy is still too serious, and took all the faults on herself again."

"Again? Has something similar happened before?"

Xu Ming keenly noticed the key points in the old housekeeper's words.

Old Wallace did not answer Xu Ming directly, but said something inexplicable.

"Mr. Xu Ming, would you like to hear about Missy's past?"

Xu Ming's eyes flickered and he nodded.

"I remember that was three years ago.

At that time, the eldest lady had just solved a series of major cases such as the "London Bank Robbery" and the "German Diplomat Spy Incident".

Her name immediately resounded throughout the British Isles, and even Queen Victoria personally received her and awarded her the Knight of the Round Table.

Everyone believed that she would perfectly take over the name of the great detective 'Sherlock Holmes' and become the sharp sword for punishing villains in London and even the whole of England.

At that time, the eldest lady was full of self-confidence, and everything was on par with the old master.

Until a case happened later..."

The old butler paused, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

"case?"

Xu Ming's curiosity has been completely aroused.

"Three years ago, there were several vicious robbery and murder cases in London. The murderer not only took away all valuables from the victim, but also cut off the victim's neck cruelly.

According to the murderer's method of killing, the witnesses at the scene, and the clues left at the scene, the eldest lady investigated a veteran named Richard as a major suspect.

The police later found a diamond brooch in Richard's home, which belonged to one of the victims.

Although Richard tried his best to defend his innocence, his wife was also running around for her husband, collecting joint letters from neighbors, proving that Richard was a diligent and outstanding citizen.

But in the end, the court sentenced Richard to death based on the evidence and reasoning found by the eldest lady, the testimony of witnesses, etc. "

The evidence so far in the case is conclusive, but Xu Ming knew that something must have happened afterwards.

Sure enough, according to the old butler's description, the case took a 180-degree turn.

"However, just three months after Richard was hanged, a prisoner was arrested at the time of the attack.

While explaining the case, he also explained that Richard's case was done by him.

He is Richard's twin brother.

He is also a veteran, but unlike the hard-working Richard, this guy is idle all day long, and likes to gamble, and owes a big debt, so he wants to rely on robbery to repay his gambling debt.

As a result, he accidentally killed the victims in the first robbery, and then he seemed to be tempted by the devil and killed every victim directly.

The brooch that was regarded as a key evidence was left at his brother's house after he robbed him. "

Xu Ming couldn't help opening his mouth wide.

This tortuous plot, I'm afraid I can write a short story.

And the whole story doesn't seem to be over yet.

"Missy realized that she had made a big mistake, but it was too late.

Richard was hanged and his wife jumped into the Thames two days later..."

"After the eldest lady learned the news, she suffered a huge blow.

She believed that the death of Richard and his wife was all her fault, that her indiscretion and arbitrariness had caused the tragedy.

She locked herself in the room and did not go out for three days and three nights.

Those unscrupulous media even took the opportunity to frequently publish articles criticizing the eldest lady, and incited the ignorant London citizens, calling her an executioner and not worthy of the name 'Sherlock Holmes'.

The eldest lady later resigned from the position of senior superintendent of the London police station and has been hiding at home to rest.It was not until half a year later that he accepted the position of a non-staff consultant in the police station at the Queen's affectionate invitation. "

Xu Ming couldn't help but look at the ceiling above his head, with a hint of pity in his eyes.

No one can bear the feeling of suddenly falling from the clouds to the bottom of the valley when you are in high spirits.

And there are unscrupulous media behind to incite the people.

After all, there are only a few media people who are really willing to expose the truth and act for justice. Most of them are unscrupulous people who like to fabricate exaggerated headlines to gain attention and incite public emotions.

These guys just shamelessly call themselves 'uncrowned kings'.

In this regard, Xu Ming, who came from later generations and experienced the indiscriminate bombardment of various marketing accounts, has a deep understanding.

"The case this time may remind the young miss of those bad memories from three years ago."

The old housekeeper sighed.

"I'm old, and I don't understand what you young people think, so I'll leave it to you, miss."

After the old housekeeper finished speaking, he walked away with one hand behind his back, leaving only Xu Ming on the spot with a confused expression on his face.

Wait, what's the matter with your father-in-law entrusting his daughter to his son-in-law?

Forget it, who told me to be 'Watson', let me find a way to comfort 'Holmes'.

Xu Ming glanced at the ceiling and already had a good idea in his mind.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom upstairs.

Eileen was lying on the bed, seemingly sleeping.

But her brows were tightly wrinkled together, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead, as if she had fallen into some terrible nightmare...

In a trance, Erin was wearing pajamas and walking barefoot on the street.

Surrounded by a thick fog.

"anyone there?"

Irene yelled, and the voice spread far away, but no one answered.

Irene continued along the street, and she seemed to hear a voice calling her in the dark.

I don't know how long I walked, a huge square suddenly appeared in front of me.

A gust of icy wind blew, and the mist in front of Irene suddenly dissipated, revealing a huge wooden platform with a gallows standing alone on it.

Seeing this familiar scene, cold sweat poured out from Irene's forehead.

Before she could react, an executioner with a black cloth on his head pressed a thin man in a prison uniform and covered his head onto the wooden platform, and swiftly put the rope around his neck.

Erin seemed to know what was about to happen next.

"stop……"

she exclaimed involuntarily.

The executioner ignored her, and flipped the side mechanism on his own.

Clang!

The floor under the man's feet collapsed in an instant, and his body was straightened by gravity and the rope, shaking in mid-air.

"stop!"

Irene yelled and rushed towards the wooden platform.

Who knew she had just rushed to the gallows, the man who was hung by the rope, the hood on his head slipped to the ground.

"!"

A face with bruised face, tongue sticking out, and frog-like bulging eyes appeared in front of Irene.

Irene will never forget this man's face.

In the past three years, as long as she had nightmares, she would dream of the man who died because of her wrongdoing every time.

Richard hanging on the gallows stared at Irene below.

"it was all your fault!"

Richard's gloomy voice suddenly echoed in Irene's ears.

"No! That was a mistake!"
