I became DIO's vicious stepmother

When I found out who the detective in front of me was, I almost recited it in one breath and almost fell into a coma.

The legendary detective, Sherlock Holmes, although he is still very young, looks only in his 20s, it is not clear whether he is famous now.

But this still does not prevent him from reasoning that is as terrible as mind reading.As long as you stand in front of him, all your secrets will be hidden. Although it has been more than three months since the incident happened, I have cleaned up all the traces in the room without leaving any residue, but Holmes is not Ordinary people, he may notice details that ordinary people can't.

Why even Sherlock Holmes exists... What kind of world is this!

Is Cook a bit too arrogant?In order to investigate the whereabouts of a scumbag and alcoholic, Sherlock Holmes was invited!How much does he want to make this money?I don't want the deposit, okay? !

Fortunately, Dior has already returned to school at this time, otherwise, if Holmes can see through what kind of person Dior is, the story will be GG.

"Is there something on my face? You seem uneasy, Mrs. Brando."

Holmes wore a dark coat and waistcoat, held a cane in his hand, and although he looked young, he had sharp eyes.

I don’t know if it’s due to an illusion, but I always feel that this Sherlock Holmes looks a bit like Robert Downey Jr. when he was young. If he can grow a Stark beard, maybe he can be regarded as Iron Man’s meal replacement... No, What am I thinking.

"Ah, no...it's just a bit of a surprise, are you here to tell me the whereabouts of my husband?"

I slowly looked away from Holmes' face, acting like an ordinary female hospital who seemed a little anxious because of her husband's disappearance, and said awkwardly, "After reporting the crime three months ago, the police have kept me waiting for the result, but so far There is no news."

"I came here precisely for this matter. Although this is an ordinary disappearance case, it is actually very intriguing and a bit interesting. I read the case file, and the testimony and the logical chain could not be matched, so it took a whole day Investigated this matter, including police records, and information provided by homeless people. But to be honest, I have missed the best time to investigate when I received this commission. If your husband disappeared on the day he was released from prison , It’s been too long, and I can’t find any witnesses who remember what happened that night. So I finally decided to talk to you in person to confirm some doubts.”

...It's started, it's about to start.

I felt dizzy. The big detective in front of me had a superhuman brain, and he was almost invulnerable.His strong thirst for knowledge made him interested in this case, and he had to be very, very cautious when answering Holmes' questions.

We must keep in mind the principle that too much talk will lead to failure. I don't even hope that I can get away with it, but even if he doesn't dispel his suspicion of me, as long as he can't find the body, I will still be safe.The investigative capabilities of this era are limited. In short, I insist that I have never seen Dalio. Three months to now, it is no longer the scene of the first crime, and I have processed all the evidence.

"Ah...you can ask, sir." I adjusted my mood and nodded calmly.

"Before that, can I take a look first? Knowing about your husband's living habits will help me find him more."

It may be that I stood at the door and had no intention of inviting Holmes in, so he made the request on his own initiative.

...Of course it won't work!Is it okay to let him in?It's like being skinned by him in a matter of minutes. I don't want Holmes to accidentally discover something that I didn't notice.

"This... I'm afraid it's inconvenient. I'm a married woman. If I let a strange young man into the house alone, the neighbors may spread gossip. If my husband comes back, he may not let me go... ...He is a very unreasonable person, I hope you will understand." I pretended to be embarrassed, but refused with confidence.

"Really? But you know very well in your heart that your husband may not come back. Why do you insist on not letting me in?"

Holmes took a deep look at me and pointed out sharply, "I have investigated your husband's financial problems. Before he was imprisoned, he owed about 50 shillings for drinks and about 10 pounds for gambling in the tavern he frequented. He got your part of the dowry, and he can't afford to repay the money in his current financial situation. I don't think there is any possibility of him running away and hiding, but on the day he was released from prison, no one in the nearby tavern said anything. Having seen him, also ruled out an accident after drinking too much. So for now, he may have had an accident on the way back, which caused him not to go home."

Having said that, he added another meaningful sentence.

"If you really didn't see him that day."

"..."

Damn, it's really seeing through all the key issues at a glance.

How should I put it, as expected of Sherlock Holmes?Legend has it that the famous detective who opened the perspective of God.

His questioning was probing, he wasn't sure if I knew something, he just wanted to see my reaction.

But once I entered the state, I calmed down instead. Fear could not solve the problem. I pretended to be a little angry, "Are you suspecting that I am lying?"

"I just put forward various possible possibilities, and then sort out and eliminate them one by one." Holmes said, looking at me.

I took a deep breath and calmly explained to him the caliber that I had already unified with Dior and practiced countless times, "The day before my husband was released from prison, my stepson Dior came back from school early. He didn't know that I entrusted the company to help thing, was going to come with me tomorrow to get my husband out of prison, the stepson stayed with me the whole time, neither that night nor since, we haven't seen him. If you've looked into these things, you should know that the stepson is Come with me to report the crime."

Half of these statements are true and half are false, but they are completely in line with the logic of the facts. Even if Holmes had doubts, there was no evidence.And the key point is that I am willing to spend 400 pounds to keep myself away from domestic violence. I have paid [-] pounds as a deposit.

Cook should have told him the specific situation. Who would have thought that a ten-year-old kid could poke his own father's kidney with his own hands?Even Holmes, before he met Dio, he would not have thought of this.

"I know this, don't be nervous, I just want to ask you to understand the situation."

After Holmes lingered on me for a moment, he smiled and asked curiously, "It's a little hard for me to understand one thing. Why would a woman like you choose to marry someone like your husband? If only Two failed marriages, I don't think this is a reason, have you been coerced?"

... His words are full of doubts about me, he is judging my hatred for Dalio, all kinds of stereotypes.

If Sherlock Holmes is an ally, then he is the most reliable existence, but unfortunately now he is an enemy...

"You can ask my sister Alyssa about this question, and she will tell you the answer you want to know."

I replied blankly, "Because my two husbands passed away in accidents, and my family was ashamed of me. At this time, my current husband proposed to me, so at the instigation of my sister, I married my current husband." Husband, there is no coercion, it is just because he will beat me, so I hope to leave him, this Mr. Cook should tell you."

"I see."

Holmes nodded thoughtfully, then put his hat back on. "I'm sorry to disturb you, but I will take my leave first."

...Is this the end?What did he find out?

Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, Holmes suddenly seemed to have thought of something again. He suddenly stopped and looked back at me.

"My suggestion is that if you really don't want to find your own husband, it's better to cancel the entrustment with them."

"?!"

What did he mean by saying this all of a sudden?

I was shocked inside, but it didn't show on my face.After Holmes finished speaking, he took off his hat and saluted, and quickly left the door of Brando's house.

...If you want to act with Sherlock Holmes, in fact, any micro-expression can't fool him.

If he saw Dior, he would probably discover the truth instantly.

I don't know what information Holmes got from the conversation just now. Whether he found out that I had something to do with Dalio's disappearance, or just realized the fact that I didn't want Dalio to come back.

As an enemy, this person is really terrifying...

At the same time, I began to take his words seriously.

Who doesn't want to terminate the commission!But am I afraid of being suspected?

But when Sherlock Holmes started the investigation, it meant that it was quite dangerous.But if Holmes did find out something, wouldn't that be the end of it?

After all, what did he mean by his warning to me?Is it a reminder, or...

I shook my head, no one can keep up with Sherlock Holmes's brain, but I vaguely remember that there seems to be a case in the original book of Sherlock Holmes, it seems to be a story about helping a woman send her husband to prison?

The main reason is that there are too many adaptations of the Sherlock Holmes story, which made it hard for me to tell which version of Sherlock Holmes it is.Although he looks like Downey, his personality is different.I've watched it several times and I'm more familiar with the BBC version. Unfortunately, Juan Fu's personality seems to be the worst, and it's not from the same era at all, so it's impossible to judge.

But his words did remind me.

If the investigator was Holmes, then the problem would be serious. Even under the premise that it might be suspected, it is necessary to find a way to cancel the commission as soon as possible before Holmes finds out anything.

I am so unlucky!It was originally just a deal that would allow Dalio to go to jail permanently, but it turned out to be like this, which is really digging a hole for himself.But up to now, I can't say whose fault it is, I just blame my bad luck.

So not long after Holmes left, I hurriedly changed into my overcoat and went to Cook's company.

Although they do some shady deals secretly, they are still a regular company on the surface.As if guessing that I was coming, Cook asked me directly with a businessman's smile on his face, "How is Sherlock? Has he solved your problem, ma'am?"

...Yeah, he almost got me done.I secretly cursed.
