Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

One hundred and eight magical uses of plosive sound + pig

Faced with this prompt, Watson bravely and honestly chose to give up thinking. "Tell me, where do I need to find the murder weapon?"

"Mr. Watson, don't you really guess?"

Sherlock kindly reminded, "It's very easy, there is only one direction left to check."

Watson waved his hand. For the understanding of "easy", he and Sherlock have always been separated by an Atlantic Ocean.

"Mr. Holmes, you don't need to remind me anymore. I can't think of any direction. The murder weapon will not fly into the sky."

The voice fell, and the alley was a little quiet.

'Papa--'

Kelsey applauded in celebration, "Mr. Watson, congratulations on your answer. The murder weapon may have flown into the sky."

Watson was dumbfounded: What?He is blind.

"You are surprised?"

Kelsey asked Watson, "Although it is not easy to fly into the sky, a hot air balloon in France next door carried people into the sky a hundred years ago. Even though there has been no breakthrough in flight in the past century, do you think it is very easy to get a small screw into the sky?" Is it difficult?"

"Of course it's not difficult."

Watson must admit the facts, but very few murderers use this to destroy evidence, and no one makes such speculations from the perspective of the use of blasting sounds and pigs.

However, once the results of flying into the sky are accepted, there are strange lines of reasoning that can explain why.

First, the hydrogen injected into the balloon is prone to explosion.In recent weeks, the murderer has released balloons for experiments, which will cause a slight popping sound to be heard by nearby residents.

Since people habitually ignore the overhead and hear popping sounds at night, balloon fragments falling on the roof may not necessarily attract attention.

Secondly, balloons are only used in a small area nowadays, which is relatively rare in the lives of ordinary people.

On the one hand, hydrogen is not easy to obtain, and on the other hand, a lightweight balloon material that can be mass-produced has not yet been developed.

If you have to play with balloons on a whim, the most convenient way is to go to the butcher's stand to get a few intact and undamaged fresh pig bladders.Then get an appropriate amount of hydrogen and inject it into it, and a "pig bladder version flying air balloon" is completed.

Watson has never played with balloons, but only heard about this kind of production method.

He wondered again, "Fresh pig bladders can still be found in the market, where did Yvonne get the hydrogen from?"

"That's a key question, and it hits on where Yvonne went for the hour or two she disappeared before she died."

Sherlock speculated that Yvonne either connected with someone, or went to a special storage place. "Hydrogen is explosive, it cannot be placed casually, Yvonne's action plan must have a professional helper."

Kelsey added, "While it sounds like a pig bladder could be harvested from a whole pig, it would require special handling to make it into a sustainable balloon.

Use professional techniques to remove excess fat on the inner wall. If you are not careful, holes will be broken, and the leaky pig bladder will not fly into the sky. "

Watson: Easy to understand!There is reason to suspect that Kelsey handled pig bladders.

After the detailed explanations of the two detectives, it is now known that the lift-off method of murder weapon disposal requires a lot of auxiliary materials to cover up traces.

Right now, the first thing to do is to climb to the top of the houses in Black Crow Lane to verify whether the balloon hypothesis is correct.

The bet was blindly succeeded by Watson.

Sherlock was willing to take the bet and took over the drudgery of climbing the roof.

According to the recent wind direction in the Black Crow Lane area, the general weight of the weapon's head, and the size of the pig's bladder balloon, the general area where the hydrogen-infused balloon flew into the air and burst with the murder weapon was deduced.

Borrow the stairs and search the roofs of each house.

Watson stayed on the ground and kept an eye on the situation, providing ground support to the two detectives on the roof at any time.

The previous slander must be retracted here. Mr. Bennet is still a considerate gentleman, and he took the initiative to propose to climb the roof with Mr. Holmes to investigate.

On the roof, the two walked slowly.

An hour later, Sherlock discovered the remains of a pig bladder.

For two days and two nights, the explosion fragments of the pig bladder hydrogen balloon were exposed outdoors.After being exposed to direct sunlight and gnawed by insects, it is already in the shape of rotting meat with little left.

"There are really ice-stealing heads."

Kelsey found the murder weapon in the recess, with dried blood on it and a string tied to the end of the blade. "Tom, we are lucky, there are two blood fingerprints on the head of the pig."

Sherlock contacted Yvonne's autopsy results, "Yvonne's palm was scratched, but the gloves she was wearing were not damaged. This may be because Yvonne was wearing gloves and was inconvenient to bind the balloon, but was smashed when she took off the gloves." The head scratched the palm of the hand, but after releasing the balloon, he put on the gloves again as if nothing had happened."

Ladies will not easily take off their gloves outside.

Yvonne's script was about being killed in the street suddenly, she had to act well without leaving common sense loopholes.During this period, fingerprints were left on the head.

"Go back to the police station and compare your fingerprints."

Sherlock handed the evidence bag to Kyle and put on his head, "As long as the fingerprints belong to Yvonne, it can prove that our series of reasoning is correct."

Do the remaining fingerprints on the roof match Yvonne's?

The fingerprint comparison is completely consistent, and the blood type comparison results are also completely consistent.

The person who least accepts the findings of the two homicides is Wendy Brown.

Wendy's face was pale, he already knew the meaning of "David", his father was more disgusting than imagined.

Now he has no intention of hating Brown. He has a vague guess in his heart that he has pushed Yvonne into the hell of death and sin, like a sharp sword hanging above his head.

Wendy suppressed the panic in her heart and asked, "I know that kind of assumption is not good, but why did the mother choose to kill Zapat? She tried her best to frame the father and his mistress instead of killing them directly."

The two detectives also discussed Yvonne's criminal pattern, and combined with Watson's previous question about where Yvonne got her professional equipment, they came to two conclusions.

"The first possibility is from the perspective of practicality. Mr. Brown is often accompanied by guards and rarely goes home, which makes murder difficult. Similarly, it is not easy to directly contact Ms. Diane."

Kelsey said that burying the forged weapon in Diane's house would undoubtedly be more difficult than assassinating Diane face to face.

Wendy smiled bitterly, "This is a disguised explanation. Zapat, who has been away for many years, is the one who puts his mother in his heart."

Zapat is off guard against Yvonne.

It was precisely because of this that he was easily drugged, and his head was beheaded by the lover next to him.

Yvonne chooses to kill Zapat, is it love and hate?Did she then commit suicide in order to go to hell with her?

So far, no relevant written records have been found left by Yvonne, and the process of her psychological changes over the past few years and her final decision to kill can only be speculated.

If you want to find out, only one person can provide the answer.

——The criminal director who taught Yvonne the skills of climbing walls, forging scenes, etc.

Sherlock points out to Wendy another reason why Yvonne chose to commit the murder:

"Mr. Wendy, you guessed right. Although the answer is cruel, Dr. Hawley, whom you recommended to Ms. Yvonne, is suspected of serious abetment and induction."

Hawley's fundamental goal is to create a sophisticated murder case?Or was it headed for Zapata?

Arrange an inescapable killing situation for Zapata, and induce Yvonne to commit suicide after killing, completing a closed-loop extermination.

Wendy slumped on the chair. He thought that he had found the most suitable doctor to cure his mother's mental illness, but he didn't expect such an ending.

He was an accomplice unintentionally. If he had been wary of Holly and hadn't introduced Holly to his mother, wouldn't the tragedy have happened?

"Mr. Wendy, I am not qualified to let you not blame yourself, but you are not the main person responsible for Ms. Yvonne's crime and death."

Kelsey can only do an objective analysis for Wendy and give her little comfort, "The source of the tragedy is your parents' respective choices. Now instead of falling into infinite self-blame, you should try to find Holly."

"Yes, find Holly!"

Wendy barely lifted his spirits. He didn't want to mention his father Brown for the time being, because he didn't want to admit that the man who disgusted him was his father.

Why can't people be completely bad, why can't people deal with problems absolutely rationally?

What happened to his mother made Wendy full of resentment towards his father, but in all fairness, his father treated him really well.

Wendy can only focus on Hawley's problem first, "The last time I contacted Hawley was three months ago, and now I think it's the time when Zapata returned to Derby.

Hawley told me that his mother's condition has basically stabilized, and he will go on a long trip, and it may take four or five months before he returns to York City. "

Namely, Hawley will be back in York City in midsummer this year.

"That's one month."

Sherlock wasn't sure if Hawley would show up as expected, but they had to prepare for his presence.

Kelsey suggested that Wendy go back to West Yorkshire first, "After Ms. Yvonne's funeral, you might as well go to school first, and find out the correspondence between your mother and you in the past, and the communication materials between Hawley and you.

Then head to East Yorkshire, where we meet in Yorktown.Don't startle the enemy, don't blindly inquire about Holly's whereabouts, you can make some appropriate disguises. "

Wendy solemnly agreed, and set a secret signal for the meeting with the two detectives.He will restrain all impulses and patiently catch the number one demon who drove his mother to hell.

Now that the whole story of the two murders has been found out, it is time to leave Derby.

Julian reluctantly bid farewell to the two detectives, and even said a lot of farewell words to Watson, swearing that he would visit the three in London in the future.

Watson couldn't help but express his welcome to Julian, but he quickly jumped into the carriage.

This time the three of them were lucky, they could still catch up with the wedding banquet held at Pemberley Manor two days later, and they still had to continue running after a short reunion.

The plan is to divide the troops into two groups.

After Watson's plan to visit Miss Morstan had to be postponed, he needed to go to Germany to investigate the life trajectory of Zapata Ashby.

Assuming that Hawley carefully planned the murder of Zapata, Zapata must have some kind of secret that could seriously threaten Hawley.

At present, no relevant information has been found at Zapata's home in Derby City, so we have to look for clues from Zapata's life for decades.

The two detectives are preparing to enter York City in disguise, not only looking for Hawley by insinuating, but also investigating the original goal of the northward journey—where is the secret place of the rune token?Was Moriarty's incriminating evidence hidden there?

**

Pemberley Manor.

Yesterday, the manor held a lively and grand wedding banquet, and the lights were still brightly lit until midnight, singing and dancing.

Today, most guests sleep until noon and then spend the afternoon leisurely.

Or take a stroll to enjoy the scenery of the manor, or find a good place to bask in the sun, and wait until dusk to gather in twos and threes for afternoon tea.

Kelsey stayed in the room.

Unlike other guests, she has just checked and packed her luggage, and she will leave for the ancient city of York, the city of magic, early tomorrow morning.

At the moment, Kelsey has changed into women's clothing.

The disguised investigation of the two detectives started last night to ensure that their identities can be better concealed.

According to the script setting, the Smiths from the United States attended Darcy's wedding banquet, and then Tom Smith took his new wife Jerry Smith to York City for their honeymoon.

Why choose Yorktown?

Because Jerry likes painting, and also likes the traces of magic left by ancient cities.

Tom made a trip to York City, England according to his wife's preferences, and this trip happened to be his wife's exclusive model.

'Knock knock—'

The door was knocked.

Sherlock pushed the dining car and offered afternoon tea.

Then he saw him put teapots, teacups, tableware, etc. on the table one by one, and then lifted the cover of the dessert plate.

"Dear Jerry, I hope you like the flavors I picked."

Sherlock placed the last tray on the table before sitting down.What is more special is that it is covered with a silver dinner plate cover, and it is impossible to see what is inside.

Kelsey glanced at the covered plate, "Thank you for the good food, so what's the last one?"

Kelsey looked at Sherlock. From what she knew about dear Mr. Holmes, there would be absolutely no food on the plate.

"Remember, our bet three days ago? You generously stated that I won this time."

Sherlock smiled at Kelsey, "This dinner plate is an 'additional meal' for me. I hope you fulfill the bet. Are you willing to keep the promise now?"

At dusk, the setting sun is just right.

It spills into the floor-to-ceiling windows and shines on the dining table.

The silver flatware is gilded with a warm glow.

The two sat facing each other, and in the middle was a bet whose real face was covered by the cover of the dinner plate.

Kelsey: Very well, I want to talk about performance, why didn't Sherlock open the lid of the dinner plate first!She doesn't have clairvoyant eyes, so how would she know what's inside?I don't know how to agree so easily.
