As soon as it was mentioned that the shipwreck of the Ruby would start, some of the people present couldn't control their expressions.

"It's been too long!" said Anne Dana, "Just say who the murderer is."

"If it's an ordinary case, of course, it's enough to directly point out who the murderer is. Of course, I have already pointed out that it is Your Excellency the Captain. But if this matter is only focused on the present, it may allow other villains to escape." said Mr. Holmes.

"Other villains?"

"That's right, my dear doctor always said that my acting skills are superb, but everyone here is talented, and I still insist on acting."

"You don't need to say it, let me do it." Captain Philip sighed: "Your hint really makes me feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles."

"The part about the captain's responsibility?" laughed Mr. Holmes. "he"

"Mr. Holmes!" the captain said helplessly. "Let me come, let me come, and I'll tell Mrs. Bolton all about it."

really!Ursula thought that when Sherlock accused the captain of negligence, he didn't name the captain at all, but just used "he" to refer to it.

"Your father stayed on the ship voluntarily." Captain Philip took a deep breath and looked directly at Eve Bolton and said, "Because everything is irreversible, he lured the pirates onto the ship, and we fought each other. Then your father decided to go down with the ship as an apology."

"Why. He didn't have to do this." Eve Bolton gritted her teeth and asked back: "And he clearly said that it was his first mate, who was the one who bewitched him. You are the one who needs to apologize!"

"That first mate is not me, just like Mr. Holmes referred to me and your father at the same time as the captain, the first mate he mentioned is not me, but the one who was fired because of a mistake."

"You mean Uncle John!" Eve Bolton turned pale, she didn't know what to think of and her body trembled: "It's not true."

"This is the truth, and your father was also moved halfway, so I don't want to tell you the truth. He is like my teacher. I don't want to destroy his image in your heart."

"But you should have said it, why did you say it!" Eve Burton screamed, struggling from her husband's hand: "Otherwise, I wouldn't..."

"Eve! Stop talking, calm down." George Burton tried to control his hysterical wife.

"No, please let her talk." Ursula, who always felt that there was something wrong with this man, knocked off the man's hand.

Miss Witch's slap was electrified, which made him tremble, and he involuntarily let go of his hand.

Then Eve Bolton was brought into her arms by Ursula. She half hugged him and moved several steps with the chair.It wasn't until Eric took a few steps to block between them and George Bolton, pointing at each other with his revolver, to stop his next move that he planned to pounce, that he stopped with peace of mind.

"It's nothing. Don't worry, speak slowly, Miss Eve." Ursula reassured, she subconsciously called the other party's name out of intuition, instead of using the word madam.

"You won't...marry the enemy's son!" Eve Burton cried, holding Ursula like a life-saving straw.It never occurred to her that the author of a book she loved during this journey of revenge was actually the only person she could trust and rely on at this time.And the husband who was originally dependent on each other turned out to be the one with the enemy.

Ah, Ursula is silent, has her witch talent for emotional direction been upgraded.This time, intuition was more important than reasoning. Although the two of them loved each other very well, she subconsciously felt that George Bolton was weird.

"Isn't his surname Bolton?" Captain Philip turned pale with shock.

"That's his mother's surname, George...not John Satus's surname." Miss Eve choked up.

"Please calm down, Miss Eve." Mr. Holmes said, and he thoughtfully did not use the word Bolton to address her: "Since the matter is already like this, why don't you listen to what Mr. Bolton has to say."

"You already guessed it." George Bolton said in a rough voice, "Damn detective. Ha, I should have known, if I had known, I should have pushed you into the sea long ago."

"You'd better talk about it. My guess will never be reassured by your own testimony."

"No, don't think about it. I won't say anything until my lawyer comes." George Bolton smiled, and that smile didn't have any warmth, which made Miss Eve feel cold: "Actually, I It's true that I didn't have time to do anything. As for the marriage with Eve, couldn't it be love?"

"It's a message in a bottle." Auguste Dupin said, and he explained in Ursula's puzzled eyes: "It's not about Edgar Allan Poe, it's about the treasure map. That John Seth at that time After Si found out that he couldn't escape, he asked his subordinates to throw a bunch of drifting bottles before the ship sank."

"I have one right here." He took out a piece of yellowed paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and handed it to Mr. Holmes with a very winking look.

"It's really a father's love." Mr. Holmes looked at the piece of paper full of encrypted words, and raised his eyebrows: "So Mr. Bolton's original name should be Bichel Satus, this name is really familiar. .”

"Ah, the one on the wanted notice that Lestrade showed us! The one that shot the clerk and robbed the jewelry store a year ago!" cried Dr. Watson.

"So you have a second identity, ah, that's no wonder. Your make-up skills are also good. I heard that you applied for a shop assistant before the robbery, and you have made sufficient preparations. That portrait is red. Your face is completely red now. It's not the same." Mr. Holmes looked at the other party and said, "Apart from the fierceness of the eyes, especially the eyebrows, you actually trimmed them."

"Is that why you said you were going to London for a month on business last year? George!" Miss Eve covered her chest and raised her head.

"But why are you approaching me?"

George Bolton snorted, but said nothing, and, as he said before, he made up his mind not to speak until the lawyer came.

"For those rubies," said Paul Duran. "There's always been a rumor that the stones didn't sink, but that your father hid them."

"This is impossible."

"That's right, it's impossible. Because all the gems are with me." The French youth nodded.

"What? Why are you here? Who are you!" Miss Eve asked with a handkerchief to dry her tears.

"These gems belonged to my father." He said in a deep voice, "Actually, my father was also on board at the time. And the owner of the gems was targeted by the robbers first."

"But the first mate at the time, the current captain, did not give up his responsibility because the cargo owner was killed and the captain betrayed him. He snatched most of the rubies, boarded the lifeboat with the surviving crew, and finally delivered it to my mother. His noble deeds saved us orphans and widows from bankruptcy.”

"My father took almost all the funds with him when he went to purchase these rubies."

"So that's why Captain Philip not only didn't lose his career because of this, but he can also be a captain?" Ursula understood: "But those robbers hate him to death!"

"Yes, that's why I'm here, and Richard is here." The French youth nodded.

"Those remnants wanted to pretend to be our identity to get close to the captain and take revenge. But they never expected that we were also prepared. As you said, this ship is indeed a stage, one that releases bait, Draw these demons to the stage where they cast their nets."

"So the first mate who died was..."

"A pirate at the time, one of the organizers, did not know how to get an official status. He applied for the job a month ago. Although so many years have passed, I still recognized him at a glance." The captain said: "He thinks I disguised myself very well, but I couldn't hide that sinful smell at all."

"Where are Miss Anne Dyner and Mrs. Newt?" asked Ursula.

"These two people should be mother and daughter. Mrs. Newt was the only female pirate at the time. I have a deep memory. I didn't expect the two of them to have such a big posture, and they even held an event and attracted a group of people."

Seeing everyone looking over, Mrs. Newt bared her teeth extremely rudely, but she fell silent under the threat of Richard Katzman's revolver who moved behind them at some point.

"Seeing the mess of the situation, the captain simply arranged for us to act, so as not to reveal the identity of the owner of the jewel."

"What about those two Richards?"

"One is pretending to be my cousin, and the other is my real cousin." The French youth said, "My name is actually Paul Katzman."

"Twins?" Ursula asked abruptly.

"Ah! You know that, you're right twins." Paul Katzman was startled, and laughed loudly. He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Holmes, it's hard to deal with such a smart lover."

A few minutes later, the ship finally entered the port. After the siren sounded, the Scotland Yard police boarded the ship. After communicating with Mr. Holmes, they arrested George Bolton and Mrs. Newt, mother and daughter.And, those wanted criminals who cast themselves in the net for gems.

It can be said that the harvest is full, and the performance of the year has been achieved.

"So that fake Richard wasn't killed by Mr. Captain." Ursula lay down on the table and looked sideways at Eric under the cover of the parasol.

"It's all about internal strife. Because of the captain's inducement and the gems Paul put in, they discovered that the gems were on the ship, not at the bottom of the sea. The fake Richard suggested telling other people, but Mrs. Newt and the others were unwilling and wanted to take it all for themselves." , and then it’s done.”

"And the first mate too?"

"Yes, by accident. If Miss Katzman hadn't been counting gems on the top deck and dropped one, just in time for Dr. Watson's coffee. And Dr. Watson and you decided to meet at the dinner party If it is announced, their plan may not be like this."

"They don't know that the first mate is also here for the gems, but they want to know about the warehouse and luggage through him."

"So the drug is actually used to make the other party give up their vigilance?" Ursula black line.

"In short, this act of poisoning turned Mr. Richard Katzman's frightening probing behavior into a reminder."

"However, you can rest assured that such a twisted and wonderful story will definitely impress the jury and make them side with Mr. Katzman's family." Eric turned a page and said. "The jury is always a double-edged sword, but this time it's the good side."

"Speaking of which, where did this book come from?" Ursula sat up straight and stared at the cover of the book in Mr. Detective's hand, on which was clearly written "The Adventures of Miss Phoebe" in gold letters.

"Little Mr. Duban, ah, Miss Katzman sent me off before disembarking, telling me to understand your inner world well, so as not to be abandoned by you."

"Wait a minute, you tell them the two of us were..." Ursula cut him off.

"What is it?" Little Sherlock Holmes shared the book with a smile.

"The weather is so nice today!" Miss Witch immediately looked up at the sky.

It was indeed very good, at the feet of the Miss Witch, the Umber Cat turned over lazily, and he could already see the star representing their world in the distance.
