antique on the run

Mrs. Michel was silent for a long time, Qi Xiao thought she was still unwilling to tell the truth, but she suddenly laughed softly.

She brushed her hair lightly back from her shoulders, and said to Sewell: "Mr. Holmes, I do know why you came to me. I think you have gone to see Immajer, haven't you? Well, the boy." What did you say to you? That I abetted him? I threatened him? Or something else?"

Seve frowned, it seemed that Mrs. Michel didn't know that Immazhe had committed suicide.

"He...didn't say that, ma'am." Seville hesitated for a moment, and did not tell Madam Michel the news that Imazhe had committed suicide, but said: "But it shouldn't be difficult to guess, isn't it? You let It's not a wise move for that girl named Anna to send us a message."

Mrs. Michelle covered her mouth and laughed out loud, "Yes, Mr. Holmes, after doing that, I also realized that I was probably going to be exposed. Of course I can't deceive you with your intelligence, but... I have to Admit it, I saved you a lot of trouble, didn't I?"

If it hadn't been for Anna to reveal the news, it would indeed take a long time for Seville and the others to turn their attention to Imazhe.

"I know you may doubt Anna's origin, but I didn't expect you to find me so quickly, Mr. Holmes, can you tell me why you think I asked Anna to find you? "

Saiwei didn't speak, but gave Qi Xiao a wink, signaling Qi Xiao to answer.

After all, the first person who noticed Anna's weirdness was not Sai Wei, but Qi Xiao.

Qi Xiao pursed his lips and said, "Ma'am, let me speak for Sherlock about this matter, is that okay, Sherlock?"

Don't think he can't see it, Saiwei is simply lazy and doesn't want to waste his time, so he let him talk.

"You asked us why we decided that you were the one who went to find Anna. Actually, you don't need to think too much about it, because after Yimaizhe killed Natasha and was arrested and brought to justice, the only person who can benefit is you."

Once Natasha dies, the inheritance rights of Richard's children in her womb will naturally be lost. Not only does Mrs. Michel not have to give them part of the inheritance, but she can also avoid the installment payments that need to be paid in the future.

"Although when I talked to you last time, you said that you have your own savings, and you don't care about the part that Natasha may carve up, but Ma'am, I remember Sherlock said, 'First put everything that is impossible If all conclusions are excluded, the rest, no matter how bizarre and unbelievable, must be irrefutable facts.' In this murder, unfortunately, only you can benefit, although you were very clever at the beginning Just take a stand and try to tell us that you are not tempted by such a small interest, but when everyone else is excluded, it is difficult for us not to suspect you."

Anna will come to Qi Xiao and Sai Wei to say such words are obviously instigated by others. It is impossible for Principal Connitan. Natasha's death will not benefit her. Instead, it may lead the police to find out that she hired illegally at a low price. The problem of foreign personnel; and the female teacher Dolly is also impossible, her feelings for Natasha cannot make her kill Natasha; as for the female teacher Helen and Natasha have no interest relationship at all, so it can be directly ruled out .

For the rest, only Mrs. Michelle is the most suspect.

"And many of your actions have exposed that you have nothing to do with Natasha's death." Qi Xiao continued: "We have investigated, and your relationship with your son Mick is relatively cold, and Sherlock and I have previously disguised I went to St. Carmel Middle School to meet Mick. I think you know about it. Later, the school teacher told us that your housekeeper took Mick back, and the school teacher said frankly that in the past, except for major holidays, Mick Never being taken home."

Qi Xiao looked directly into Mrs. Michelle's eyes, "You took Mick home uncharacteristically at this critical moment, avoided us, and lied today that Mick was not here to prevent us from seeing him, Mrs. Michelle, you What are you worried about what we will ask from him?"

He paused, and seeing that Mrs. Michel was silent, he said again: "Mick told us that he didn't like his father, because his father always took away the people he liked. At first we thought that the person in Mick's mouth was It was just the deceased teacher Natasha, but later we realized that besides Natasha, there should be other people that Mick was referring to."

Mrs. Michel, who had been silent all this time, suddenly raised her head, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Could it be me?"

"Impossible." Qi Xiao replied simply, "Although it is a bit impolite to say so, I don't think your relationship with Mick is so close that Mick can use 'like' to describe it."

Mrs. Michel shook her head with a smile, "It seems that I really failed as a mother. Anyone can see that my son is not close to me."

Her eyes suddenly became sharp, "I won't hide it from you, I really didn't like Mick since I was a child. He is indeed my child, but as my son, he will only bring me someone else's laugh at."

In the upper class, a mediocre child would still bring ridicule to his parents, not to mention Mick, who suffered from childhood dementia since he was a child.

Mrs. Michel would rather never have had children than admit that Mick was her son.

"Richard has become more and more distant from me since then."

Mrs. Michel covered her eyes. When she was pregnant, Richard, who was a father, was very submissive to her. I don't know how many times he fantasized about the child's appearance and character with her.If it was a boy, it must be a handsome and smart young man, and if it was a girl, it must be a gentle and beautiful little girl. They thought it was so beautiful, but who knew that a Mick was born.

"He thinks that I'm sick and I can't give birth to a good child. He refuses to go home and goes out to take care of his mistresses, hoping that his lovers will help him give birth to a smart child." Mrs. Michel sneered, " But he had been looking forward to it for so many years, didn't he just hope that Natasha would be pregnant? As a result, he had an accident before he saw the baby fall to the ground. "

Mrs. Michel's expression became indifferent again.

"That's why you found out about Imazhe?"

Qi Xiao said: "Actually, we didn't think that the other person that Mick mentioned was Yimaizhe. After all...the relationship between your husband and Yimaizhe is complicated, and we really didn't think of it at the beginning."

Mrs. Michelle nodded knowingly and said: "Yeah, this kind of relationship is really disgusting, right? When I first found out, it was really disgusting. My husband keeps some little lovers outside. I can tolerate it, but he Still liking men, as a 16-year-old boy, oh, sorry, gentlemen, I still feel sick to my stomach when I think about it."

Disgust was written all over her face, and she seemed genuinely disgusted by Richard's relationship with Imazhe.Her expression and tone made people very uncomfortable in Qi Xiao's eyes, but it was not difficult to understand in the context of this era.

People in this era are completely unacceptable to the relationship between men and men, and even think it is a disease.

Madame Michel is certainly no exception.

Qi Xiao frowned, and said, "Ma'am, I'm sorry to ask, is this the reason why you insist on divorcing Mr. Richard? Because you learned about your husband and Imazhe."

From the perspective of the timeline, the time when Richard and Imazhe got married basically coincided with the time when Mrs. Michel divorced him, that's why Qi Xiao had this suspicion.

"You're right." Mrs. Michelle confessed without hesitation, "In order to maintain our marriage, I could temporarily tolerate his infidelity and betrayal, but I also have a bottom line. Richard obviously stepped on me. bottom line."

In the upper class, it is common for husbands to neglect their wives, cheat on their wives, and take care of mistresses outside. Every time they encounter such a thing, they will get sympathy and comfort from other noble ladies, and everyone feels the same way.

But when it's not a woman but a man who cheats, everything changes.People will think that this family is sick, alienate them, gossip behind their backs, and treat them like a plague, and stay away from them.

Madame Michel couldn't bear the fact that her husband was having an affair with a man.

So at the end of the day Sewell was right when he said that this woman cared more about her marriage, her reputation and decency than the man who was her husband.

In this marriage relationship, the most pitiful person is Mick.

"So you encouraged Yimaizhe to kill Natasha, didn't you?" Qi Xiao said softly.

Mrs. Michel blinked and burst out laughing, "Oh, Dr. Watson, I don't accept your groundless accusation."

She gracefully picked up the teacup placed on the coffee table and took a sip, sat upright, and said, "You say without evidence that I ordered Imazhe to kill, Mr. Holmes, is this how you let your assistant go? Slander me?"

She looked at Saiwei with accusation, but Saiwei said: "I really have no evidence, but I agree with Dr. Watson's judgment very much. Mrs. Michelle, what role did you play in this matter?" What kind of role, we know very well."

He seemed not prepared to save any more face for this elegant and decent lady, and said with a cold face: "I can understand if you don't tell the truth. After all, once you admit it, it means that you have participated in this crime. You are very Gao Ming, I didn’t leave any evidence for me, so I can only make guesses about your actions, only you know what you have done.”

Maybe if you switch to the real Sherlock Holmes, you can find some clues of evidence, but unfortunately, Sewell can't do it.

He felt bad about it too.

"I don't know when you came up with this idea, and I don't know what you told Imazhe, but I think you probably used your son Mick to tell Imazhe that if Natasha's child Being born will cause trouble for Mick's inheritance rights. You took advantage of his guilt towards Mick and let him help you deal with Natasha by using his hand."

Because of his relationship with Richard Lane, Immazhe has always felt guilty towards Mick, especially after Richard passed away, he felt that he had no love in life after losing his lover, so Mrs. Michel could It was so easy to persuade Yimaizhe to take the blame for her murder.

Sai Wei habitually put his palms together on his chin, "Of course Immazhe accepted your proposal, maybe it's not just because of your provocation, or maybe he originally hated Natasha in his heart, hated She took away the person she liked. He killed Natasha in a cruel way, but no matter what the killing method is, your goal has been achieved in the end. "

Without Natasha, without the illegitimate child, and even the boy who once had an affair with her husband and brought her shame, Mrs. Michelle can be said to be the biggest winner in this murder case.

Mrs. Michelle listened to him quietly, and said softly: "But you don't have any evidence, Mr. Holmes, otherwise you shouldn't be sitting at my house drinking tea and chatting with me right now, but just let your friend tell me I took it to the police station."

She shook her head pityingly and said: "I didn't tell you a lie last time, I really don't care about the inheritance that Natasha's child may get, such a small sum of money is not enough for me to buy a few pieces of jewelry .What I really mind... well, Mr. Holmes, is actually the title of the illegitimate child."

Her face suddenly became ruthless, "I've tried my best to think about this marriage. Now that Richard is dead, that's all. But I can't tolerate the existence of such a blemish as an illegitimate child."

She is like a perfectionist who can't tolerate any stains in her eyes.

After saying this, Mrs. Michelle's expression suddenly softened again, "But Mr. Holmes, even if I tell you now that I don't like Natasha and that illegitimate child, you still have no evidence to prove that I abetted it." Imazhe went to kill."

There was disdain in her eyes, "That child has not received a good education since he was a child, he is full of lies, he bites people at will like a mad dog, and as a murderer, I don't think his words are trustworthy."

She stood up and made a gesture of invitation, as if to see off the guests.

"So Mr. Holmes, you pointed the finger at me because of a sentence or two of Immazhe, which made me doubt the fairness of your great detective. Now that the murderer has been arrested, I think this The case can stop here, after all, the man was indeed killed by Imaijar, wasn't he? The murderer pays for his life, or he can get a pardon because he is under the age of 18, these have nothing to do with me. As for me ..." She raised her eyebrows, "If one day you can find evidence to prove that I ordered Imazhe to kill someone, then it won't be too late for you to catch me."

She admitted in a disguised form that she had instigated Imazhe to kill Natasha, but because there was no evidence, the police could not arrest her and bring her to justice.

Saiwei sat on the sofa, his chest heaving violently.

He felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

The truth was finally found out, but he felt that it might as well not have been found out.

If it was Holmes, he must be able to find evidence.Thinking of it this way, Conan Doyle will definitely prepare clues for his protagonist, and let him confirm Mrs. Michel's crime.

She did not kill anyone, Natasha was killed by Imazure, but she was more hateful than the murderer.

"Mrs. Michelle, you probably made a mistake." Qi Xiao suddenly said.

He then stood up from the sofa. At this moment, Watson's usual gentleness and humility were gone from his face, but his usual cold and indifferent look.

"Imaizhe is dead. He committed suicide at his home." He threw the bomb, and sure enough, he saw Mrs. Michel's eyes widen and her face froze.

"He left a suicide note in which he admitted that he was the murderer, but he never mentioned you. The reason why Sherlock and I came to you was not because we believed the 'lie' of Imazhe, It's just our own inference."

That child never betrayed Mrs. Michel from beginning to end.

"He said that he regretted that he couldn't say goodbye to Mick himself. He felt that he was not worthy of being Mick's friend. Killing Natasha was the only thing he could do for Mick. As you said, killing for life, Imazhe has already died, but is he really that damned? Besides, in this matter, I think the person who suffered the most is actually Mick."

Without evidence, no matter how powerful the detective is, he will be helpless.Different from Sai Wei's depression, Qi Xiao is very clear that this is the limitation of their abilities. He has no way to convict Mrs. Michel, and it is impossible to get rid of Imazhe.

In the whole murder case, the only person he felt sorry for was Mick.

Qi Xiao opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but suddenly felt a burst of dizziness, he barely stabilized his body, looked back at Saiwei, and sure enough, he saw Saiwei looking at him too.

This is a sign that the space-time channel is about to open.

Their pursuit has come to an end, the antique Conan Doyle fragments have approved their pursuit process, and the order of time and space is about to send them back to the original time and space.

The time and space in front of him began to distort, and the image of Mrs. Michel gradually blurred. Although he knew that the traces they left would be erased by the order of time and space, Qi Xiao still said to Mrs. Michel: "Please help me to speak to Mick. Feel sorry."

Sorry to deceive you by using my 'uncle' status.

Sorry for not being able to visit you as promised.

Sorry... for not saving your best friend's life.

When the stories that were originally recorded in the history books are displayed in front of you, when the characters that only existed in history stand in front of you vividly, when you can feel the strong yearning contained in the antiques...

Qi Xiao thought, he would never get tired of this line of hunting for antiques.

His hand was suddenly held by someone, Qi Xiao wanted to turn his head to look, but the next moment all perceptions disappeared, his eyes fell into darkness, and he couldn't feel anything.

But the corner of Qi Xiao's mouth still evoked a smile.

Having a lover is probably the biggest gain of this shareholder pursuit.
