[Comprehensive Classics] I crossed with the Daping layer

"Master, I just got the news that Mr. Scoldall is dead!"

"Who? You mean that Alan Scoldall died, when did he die?"

"Just last night, it was said that he was drunk and fell down the stairs and died directly."

Qiaoqiao didn't know what was going on, and immediately remembered the countess's cold eyes.

Could it be?But this Mr. Scoldall and the Countess look a lot alike, it shouldn't be.Genetically, they should be related.

"I saw yesterday that there are quite a few servants in the Earl's house. Does an imposing young master have no servants to take care of him when he's drunk?" Qiao Qiao was a little puzzled.

"Who knows what happened, it is said that the Countess has fainted."

Qiao Qiao frowned, always feeling that there was something wrong, but it had nothing to do with her, the medicine she took yesterday was for nothing.But people in this world will not be able to research something like spiritual incense for another 100 years.So it won't involve her.

When Qiao Qiao went downstairs, all the servants in the family were talking about it.

"Where's Dad?"

"Sir Lucas went to Netherfield with his lord, probably to see how he could be of help."

Jojo nodded to understand that Sir Lucas and Mr. Bennet were the most prestigious gentlemen in this area.They are responsible for everything that happens here, big or small.

"It's really terrible, it's terrible." While Jojo was having breakfast, Mrs. Bennet said it was terrible and came in.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?"

"Just now I heard from Mrs. Lucas at Sir Lucas's house that Mr. Scoldall died in a terrible way. Of course, the most pitiful is the Mott family. Mr. Scoldall died in Netherfield. I am afraid it will be a long time. Nobody wants to rent their garden anymore."

Although Mrs. Bennet's point is always difficult to understand, but this time she is right. I am afraid that the Mott family who got the news will now want to cry without tears.Originally, there were very few people on vacation here, and there were people who died in the house. I am afraid that no one will come to live here in the future.

Mr. Bennet will come at noon.

"Dad, how is it?" Jojo asked.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Now a servant said that he saw the countess pushing her brother down the stairs. But the countess said that the countess was with her at the time. Now there is a commotion over there."

"Dad, have you ever thought that if Mr. Skoldall really died of homicide, then the police will come to investigate his actions these days. The matter of Mary and Skoldall..."

They don't know if anyone knows about the matter between Mary and Scoldall. If someone sees it and tells the police, their efforts will be in vain, and Mary and their family will be in trouble. In endless trouble.

Mr. Bennet was stunned when he heard Jojo's words. He didn't think about it so much, but hearing what his little daughter said today, it is indeed very possible.

If the police came to ask questions, even if it turned out to have nothing to do with Mary, the family's reputation would be ruined.

"What should we do?" Mr. Bennet propped his head and felt very uncomfortable.

"Is there any movement at the Scoldall's house?"

"The servants at home have already gone to London to find Earl Scoldall, and they should wait for him to come and deal with it."

Qiao Qiao frowned, that is to say, he was not sure whether he would call the police.

"If the Scoldall family treats it as an accident, then everything is easy to say, but if they want the police to intervene, then there will be some trouble. The best way is to find out whether it was an accident or a homicide as soon as possible. Find the murderer as soon as possible before anyone dies."

However, the capabilities of the British police will make people speechless even after hundreds of years.When it comes to solving cases, what Jojo can think of is the famous detective Sherlock Holmes.

It's just that she doesn't know each other. Although she owns a house on Baker Street, she has never inquired about 221B.She had, however, once seen the name of Charlotte Holmes in a newspaper.

"The brother of my neighbor in London is a very capable detective. Why don't I write a letter and ask him to help me. Relying on those Scotland Yard detectives will only make things worse."

"But isn't it strange why we meddle in other people's affairs?"

"I'll take care of that." Big Mr. Holmes should be able to help with this.At most, I will send him more dessert cakes in the future.

So far, Mr. Bennet can only trust his youngest daughter.

"After this is over, I'll send Mary to mission school."

"Father?" Missionary schools in this era are almost like concentration camps, and it's strange that the skin doesn't peel off after entering.

"This is the last thing I can do for her. After a few years, maybe I can meet a good husband. Even if she can't find a husband in the future, she can use what she has learned to be a tutor. Her I will not give her any less dowry, but if there is too much, I will get nothing."

Seeing that Mr. Bennet had made up his mind, Jojo didn't say anything more. She was the same before. Except for a dowry of one thousand pounds, Mr. Bennet gave nothing.It was Mrs. Bennet who secretly gave her her private money.

Jojo had written a letter to Mycroft Holmes, and had concealed nothing, which could not have been concealed anyway.He just mentioned at the end of the letter that it was related to the reputation of several ladies, so he should pay attention to it a little bit.

Jojo originally thought that even if Holmes agreed, the detective would arrive at Netherfield after Earl Scoldall.Who would have thought that the great detective would come here with Earl Skoldall.

Sherlock Holmes became the detective invited by Earl Scoldall to investigate the cause of his son's death.Nothing to do with the Bennetts.After receiving Mycroft's reply, Jojo expressed his gratitude for his thoughtful arrangement.

A big detective came out, and the truth of the matter soon came to light.The specific details of the case are unclear, only that the murderer is the Countess.It's just that she didn't catch her without a fight, but committed suicide by swallowing a gun after being exposed.

The countess was also sent away overnight, leaving only the detective and the count in Netherfield.

When the news came out, the whole of Longborn was like a pot that exploded.All kinds of 'truths' are being circulated, and there is a tendency to become more and more alarmist.

Everyone was curious, and so was Jojo, but the prodigal earl handled this matter extremely low-key.The truth of the matter is only known to them.

Jojo still goes out for a walk every morning.

"Are you the one that the fat man wants to help?"

Jojo was startled by the sudden appearance of a man, she looked up at the man in front of her.Very familiar.

"Mr. Sherlock Holmes?"

"You really know that fat man!"

"Although Mr. Mycroft Holmes has let himself go a little bit these past few years, the word fat is still a bit serious, as far as it is concerned." Jojo added after thinking about it.Given how much someone has a sweet tooth, I'm afraid the near future will fit the term fat.

"Ha! You know him well? Widow, you don't care about the previous marriage, rich, not long after returning from the United States, the ex-husband died of drugs. Well-educated? Used to be an authority in a field?" Sherlock card After a while, he found it very strange that there were so many contradictions in this lady.

"Mr. Holmes, you are really rude and childish. It seems that your brother has put a lot of pressure on you."

"That fat man won't put any pressure on me except for his weight." Sherlock muttered.

"So you found out the truth about Mr. Scoldall's death? It only took one day?"

"Yes, it is very simple, as long as you are not like those idiots in Scotland Yard, you can almost see it at a glance."

"I think there are still very few smart people like you in this world." If everyone could see at a glance, Holmes would be immortal.

"Can you tell me the details of what's going on inside?"

Sherlock seemed a little unaccustomed to being praised like this. Although the expression on his face was impatient, he still told the truth to Jojo.

Qiao Qiao held the big detective on his arm, and the two walked aimlessly.

"So, Countess Skoldall is indeed Mr. Skoldall's mother."

"Have you seen their mother-child relationship?"

"I don't understand Mr. Holmes' reasoning, but I do understand some human genetics. The inheritance of blood is the most mysterious inheritance of human beings."

"All the crimes were caused by Earl Scoldall, but unfortunately he survived."

The truth of the matter is that Earl Skoldall is infertile. In order not to shake his status and be ridiculed by others, he thought of borrowing seeds.And it is shameless to let his groom take advantage of others.

The Countess was married after Sgardall became the Earl, and she was born in a noble family.Such a thing is absolutely a great shame to the countess.

So even if Mr. Scoldall had been born to the countess, she would have regarded it as a lifelong disgrace.She gave all her love to her daughter who was born with her lover.As a result, after Mr. Scoldall knew the truth of the matter, he also had the idea of ​​​​his half-sister.

This simply stirred up all the countess' resentment.No wonder the countess that Qiao Qiao saw was so close to her daughter.

"If you don't die, you won't die." Of course, the most damned one didn't die.

"Earl Scoldall's debt will soon leave him with nothing." Sherlock said as if he knew what Jojo was thinking.

"Fatty will definitely let everyone who should know about this matter, Earl Skoldall will disappear soon."

Jojo was taken aback for a moment, Sherlock meant that the title of Earl Skoldall would be taken back by the royal family.This is very likely, the number of titles in Britain is relatively small compared with other countries in Europe.

The family has no heirs, and most of the time it is the king who reclaims the title.
