Although a group of people arrived at the burning house with great interest, and saw Melinda talking non-stop in a cloud of air as they wished, Sally took off her glasses a little bit and indeed saw the two Burning to the hideous ghost.Unfortunately, the group did not obtain any information related to Moriarty or other conspiracies.According to Melinda, the man of the house was doing something he loved with his young and beautiful female colleague in the bedroom, and then he was caught by the woman.That evening, the quarrel between the husband and wife intensified, and then reached the peak at seven o'clock in the evening, which eventually led to tragedy.According to the two parties involved, the cause of the accident was a gas leak arranged by the wife in advance and the subsequent intentional ignition.

Because of the inner obsession and anger, the two ghosts who died in the fire still maintain the posture of burning in the flames, wandering around the house, unwilling to leave.

"It's still the same conclusion. Judging from the cause and result of the matter, everything is very normal." After listening to Melinda's narration, John was the first to show a tangled expression, scratching his hair and looking a little at a loss.If Melinda's previous proposal opened a hopeful path for John, now it seems that this path is also being rejected.

blocked.

"Not necessarily, sometimes the normal is hidden in the abnormal." Sherlock looked at the wreckage of the house in front of him, and said thoughtfully, "It was obviously just emotional frustration, but he chose such a painful way to commit suicide .Wouldn’t taking sleeping pills or poison be the best option? Can you imagine the pain in the process of swallowing the razor blade? And that mother, as a mother, I don’t believe that she has no affection for her child, as far as human nature is concerned Isn't it more straightforward to abandon the child? It is too uneconomical for the murderer who is a mother to be punished by the law. And the couple, let's not talk about the husband, let's talk about the wife. Why does she have to How about burning yourself and your husband to death together? The best choice at this time should be to divorce and take away what you deserve. No matter how angry the wife is at what her husband has done, there is no need to take her own life. According to According to the ghost himself, this fire was planned, and since there is time to make such a plan, it would be better to plan to kill the husband alone." Although Sherlock spoke extremely fast, it was enough to make everyone present Most people understand it, some may be because of their extraordinary sense of hearing, and some may be because they have long been used to it.

"It is possible that the wife wanted to die in love from the very beginning." According to the information obtained by several people, Gabriel also tried to brainstorm.

"If this is the case, the wife's ghost should disappear from this world now because of the fulfillment of the wish?" Although Sherlock has not been exposed to any supernatural events before, he has been able to learn and use it well.To be honest, if it wasn't for Moriarty, Sherlock really hated this case, because he used too many guesses in the reasoning process of this case.Guessing, that was the way he used to dismiss the case the most, but now that no useful information can be found, Sherlock can only keep going.

After hearing Sherlock's series of speculations, Sariel, who also found nothing, sighed, and then said: "Little Sherlock, although what you said sounds reasonable, I must say that similar cases have never happened before. It should be entirely possible for the murderer to act aggressively because of an unexpected situation."

"That's right." Having said that, Sherlock's face finally showed a bit of expression, "Looking at these cases separately, each one is very clear and complete, and each case is very insignificant in isolation. However, if we take these cases How about putting them together? The three murderers, of course the so-called murderer includes the one who killed himself, all of them exhibited the so-called 'excessive behavior'! If these excessive behaviors did not occur naturally, but were artificially motivated What about it? I think everyone is very clear about the connection between these cases, seven o'clock every night is really a magical time."

"You mean, these cases did arise naturally, but someone pushed them to a worse direction?" Sariel continued while concluding, "But if this is the case, that person should..."

"Should have a power that we don't know?" Sherlock looked a little helpless at the moment, "If the ghost couple didn't lose their memory, and no one had stimulated or verbally seduced them beforehand, then this This kind of power should indeed be tasteless and invisible. Of course, as far as I know, there are still some sophisticated criminal methods that will not make anyone aware that they are being provoked. It is not surprising that a guy like Moriarty masters such methods. So it's better for us to start investigating from two aspects."

"Two investigations?"

"Yes." Sherlock nodded, then pointed to John and Melinda and said, "John and I are naturally in a group, but in order to get more information before seven o'clock tonight, Melinda temporarily Also join our group, we will continue to investigate the case itself. As for Mr. Carroll and this Mr. Field, I will trouble you to investigate the mysterious power that may exist."

"Such a task is not troublesome." From Sallyer's point of view, all he has to do is wander around the town a few times, and occasionally use his talent to peek a few times to observe how many non-human beings there are in this town. Or supernatural powers for good.So after a brief discussion with Gabriel, Sariel and the others accepted the "request" from the former students and set up the second investigation team.

After wandering around the town of Lulumi for a while, Sariel felt that it was not completely unreasonable for Melinda to like this place. He secretly pressed his glasses to observe the town, and he soon discovered that this town was full of rivalry. There are three or four times more dead souls in other cities, and many of them are even acting normally as if they were alive.Although these dead souls looked very calm, they seemed a bit creepy to Sariel. These dead souls seemed to be left behind by this small town...

Melinda, who only knows how to help most of the dead souls to complete some small favors, and then send them into the light, does not know that only the same obsession with life is enough to keep them in this world unwilling to leave.After death, the revenant will lose a lot of memory about everyday things, they won't remember whether they wear clothes, they won't remember where they put their most precious diamonds, and they will even forget themselves for a while after death loved ones, will not remember until the next time we meet.Therefore, with so many dead souls staying in this small town, Sariel, as the former angel of death, would not think that this small town with a childish name is very ordinary.There must be some hidden secrets in this town.

Perhaps it was because he had just escaped from a place like the painting of the holy mountain that had no concept of time, so in Sariel's view, the time in the human world passed too hastily.Because they didn't want to take off their glasses in front of so many ordinary humans, Sariel and Gabriel's search process was not very fast.When it was getting dark and the shops on the street were lit up, Sariel and the others finally realized that it should be almost night.

"How long has it been since we experienced darkness?" Looking at the darkened sky and the evening glow, Gabriel said with emotion.

"It's been a long time." Sariye squinted his eyes and looked at the sky, and then remembered something, "However, it should not be far from seven o'clock in the evening, right?" That is to say, if these cases are true If it is part of some big conspiracy, then at seven o'clock tonight, we should see you soon...

And in the investigation team led by Sherlock, they were also very worried about what would happen after seven o'clock.Although it is impossible for the incident to be discovered at seven o'clock, it is possible tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, but the feeling of knowing that something will happen but being powerless makes Sherlock want to catch Moriarty very much, and then beat him hard He has a meal.

Although Sherlock and the others wanted to hope about the progress of Sariel and Gabriel's investigation, they belatedly discovered that no one knew the contact information of those two.In desperation, the whole group could only go back to Melinda's antique shop, hoping that Sally and the others could remember the route back there.

Then, while Sherlock and the others were waiting for Sally and the others to arrive in the store, John also received a call from the police, saying that a criminal who was committing an attack had been captured!

"The criminal who is attacking?" Although John talked with the other end of the phone for a long time, John was listening more often, so Sherlock didn't capture a lot of information from the side, "That is to say, the quasi-victim People haven't died yet?"

"Yes." John hung up the phone with a serious expression on his face, "But this does not mean that there are no victims in this case."

"Let's listen." Both Sherlock and Melinda made postures ready to listen carefully.

"Ahem." John cleared his throat first, sorted out the huge amount of information he had obtained, and then said, "According to the call for help from the police just now, when the criminal was discovered, he was about to send a young The girl was buried alive in a grove near the town. Near the scene of the crime, the police also found several corpses that were also buried alive, and the criminals seemed... and seemed to be using those corpses to grow mushrooms..."

"I seem to have heard of such a case somewhere." Charlotte said, touching her chin.

"Yes." John nodded to confirm Sherlock's guess, "A year ago, a similar incident happened in another city. It's just that that incident seemed to be much better than this one. Some of the victims were still breathing when they were dug out of the soil. Almost all cases of that kind have become learning cases for the police academy, so the police soon determined that this incident was the work of a copycat.”
