Mudun brings benefits to the United Kingdom and the United States

The housekeeper nodded to the little girl as a greeting, and then asked softly, "Anna, why are you standing here? Go back to sleep."

The little girl raised her head to look at the group of strangers behind the butler, with tears slowly filling her blue eyes, she said in a low voice, "I heard my aunt talking to you."

The butler's expression was suddenly a little embarrassed. The calmness he had pretended on his face just now turned back to a forbearable sadness. He sighed and didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only reach out and stroke the top of the little girl's hair.

The little girl looked at Sherlock Holmes, with hope and choked up: "Please, we must find the murderer who killed my parents, okay?"

"The murderer should be the next one to kill you." Holmes raised his eyebrows, and answered calmly without emotional fluctuations. He raised his eyelids and scanned the surroundings, without any scruples that the other party was just a little girl.

——The second floor and the first floor are connected by two long staircases on the left and right, and the general structure of the house is a circle.There is no floor in the middle space, so if you stand on the second floor and talk, you can hear anyone on the first floor.The location is hidden, maybe you can see the expression of the people on the second floor when they speak.

The little girl's expression suddenly became terrified and frightened, and big tears fell down, crying out of breath.She trembled and hugged the huge teddy bear in her arms, speechless.

In fact, even a normal adult would be terribly frightened when he heard that someone was about to kill him, let alone a child?

"Holmes!" Tony was instantly annoyed, glared at him with a black face, and choked, "What nonsense are you talking to a child?!"

Sherlock Holmes is a famous story character. Although Tony has heard about it, he doesn't know much about it. He was not surprised when they came to this character's world this time.Haven't seen the Sleeping Beauty world, can you still do tasks?

But now, Tony's dislike for Sherlock Holmes has completely exceeded his tolerance limit.

"It's the truth." Holmes glanced at Tony, his tone still extremely calm, "No one was prepared for anything like she was. The murderer killed her mother and father successively, and it won't be so easy to stop—"

Tony had already grabbed the curly-haired youth by the collar and pushed him against the wall, Watson also yelled reproachfully at the same time: "Sherlock!"

This finally temporarily stopped Sherlock Holmes' narration, but the little girl's crying became louder, her whole body trembling with fear, she suddenly squatted down and tightly covered her ears, almost out of breath from crying.

The butler suppressed his anger and glanced at Sherlock, bent over and coaxed Anna in a low voice.

Steve's expression was also not very good-looking.Little Weasel also walked over, handed Anna the candy in his pocket, and silently helped the housekeeper comfort her.Fujiya felt that Holmes could succeed in pleasing anyone, and it was easy for children to like him.What did he do to make a child cry like this on purpose?

Is it really just to let the nine-year-old Anna guard against the murderer?This is outrageous.

After a while, the butler coaxed Anna back to her room to sleep. He walked towards the people waiting at the stairs, his voice much colder, and he sent them up to the third floor due to his duties. Wang Zi said: "Mr. was hit on the head and died in the study. When it was time to eat at night, Anna took the initiative to call him and saw the scene with her own eyes."

Dagu took a deep breath.

Not only did the little girl's parents die tragically, she also witnessed the scene with her own eyes?It is too pitiful for Holmes to say so bluntly that someone is going to kill her now.But what doubts did Holmes find to make such a conclusion?

The housekeeper turned and went downstairs, Fujiya suddenly had a thought, and thought of something: "According to this, the murderer is still in this house? Then Anna is not protected tonight, will it be too dangerous?"

While speaking, Sherlock Holmes had already put his hands into his coat pockets and went down to the second floor, and the voice of his reply became farther and farther away: "John, follow up."

"Ah? Good." Watson followed without asking.

"Where are you going?" Dagu asked quickly, he ran down quickly to take a look, and then came back in a daze, "...They said that they should go to the outside of the villa first, and find out the terrain near the downstairs of Anna's bedroom Come back to sleep."

Tony, who was angry for a long time, also recalled it, and asked with a sullen face, "Maybe what Holmes said was for the murderer?"

"We know so little." Steve said matter-of-factly, calmed down, "wait until tomorrow."

Fujiya thought so too.

Even if she has watched more than 800 episodes of Conan, is proficient in various crime methods and bizarre plots, and has no basic information, she is still a smart woman.Maybe the task this time is the case?Solve the case and catch the murderer for Little Anna's parents who died tragically?

A group of people dispersed separately, and the night was peaceful.

Fujiya finally slept in the normal bedroom on the first night after entering the inner world, and she was moved to tears.Thinking about whether she lived in the back mountain, in the wilderness, or in a dilapidated cabin before, she felt that it was not easy for her.

Although she can accept those conditions, she certainly prefers a good environment to a bad environment.

By the next morning.

Mr. Walker's sister, Lucy Walker, called all the family members to the hall so that Sherlock could check the situation one by one.

Steve took out his little notebook without a teacher, and listened eagerly, jotting down all the key points.Although his memory is very good, Steve still likes to use paper to take notes.

Fujiya and his party also sat quietly and listened.She specially took Little Weasel to sit next to Tony—one of these two people learned the art of killing, and the other was the smartest in their team. Maybe they would find something suspicious after watching them?

There are only eight members of the Walker family.

First up is Lucy Walker.

Mr. Walker's sister, little Anna's aunt, and her only relative now.I am 24 years old and a makeup artist.Although he is already an adult, he has been living at home and has not moved out. He spends a few nights a week flirting with men in bars in nearby towns, and his life is chic and happy.

But I heard that the brother and sister had quarreled several times recently because of her unrestrained squandering, and then asking her brother for money again and again made Mr. Walker intolerable.

——When Sherlock publicly stated the information he had secretly investigated last time, some plump blonde woman Lucy's face was very ugly.

At the time of Mr Walker's death, she said she was alone in her room watching TV.

Anna Walker.

The only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walker, who is nine years old this year, has been staying at home for unknown reasons and has not yet gone to elementary school.Mr. Walker, who is not short of money at all, hired a tutor for her to study at home.It was also when she called Mr. Walker downstairs for dinner that she opened the study door and was the first to discover the scene of her father's death.

One word, miserable.

The little girl has the deepest affection for her parents. When she was obediently sitting in the hall, her eyes were still red and swollen, and she couldn't stop sobbing for a while, curling herself up into a small ball.

The butler, Bain, is 54 years old. He has been at home since the old Mr. Walker, and it can be said that he grew up with Mr. Walker.It is the person who mourns the death of Mr. and his wife the most.I heard that the old Mr. Walker adopted him as an adopted son back then, and he also said that he would leave part of the family property to Bain.But the old Walker later passed away due to an accident, and the will did not have time to make anything, so it was nothing.After that, Mr. Walker has been slow to express his opinion on this matter——

Looking at the old butler again, Fujiya felt that he was also suspected.When he didn't know the truth, maybe his grief would be discounted.After all, it's a little more conspiratorial. Old Walker died in an accident, whether it was an accident or man-made is still uncertain.

Thanks to this group of servants, they are all hired, they just take money to do things, jealousy and gossip are enough to make them stab each other and tell other people's secret things.It was convenient for Holmes and the others to obtain information.

The butler stayed in the small office next to the study for an hour before eating. According to him, he was processing some documents for Mr. Walker. If it was possible to commit crimes, there were.

Next was the governess Davis.

This year, 29 years old, is a taciturn man with a lot of teaching experience. Because of the course arrangement, he also lives in this big house.In the past two days, because of the murder, little Anna suspended her classes.During the period when the murderer committed the crime, he stayed in his room and read a book.He was a new teacher. Before him, he was another tutor. It seemed that something had happened, but everyone kept it secret.

Maids Kelly and Susie, aged 21 and 23, take turns in charge of housework. They live in a small town and are locals who know everything. They don't need to stay at Walker's house.They testified to each other. At the time of the crime, both of them were cleaning on the first floor, and the chef was occasionally seen coming out of the kitchen.

The male servant Alger, 23 years old, is responsible for the physical work and maintenance of various things at home. Because he is blind in one eye, he has a very soft temper and is always silent.He hadn't been at Walker's house for two hours before the murder. He was working as a carpenter in a cabin in the back hills, so no one could prove his whereabouts.

Chef David, 43, also lives at the Walker's house because of Mr. Walker's habit of staying up late and eating late-night snacks.Probably all chefs are fat, but he has been shaking the spoon all year round, so he is strong and strong enough to kill people, but the two maids have seen him in the kitchen.If he hadn't slipped out of the window and turned into the study on the second floor to kill, then the suspicion of the three of them could basically be ruled out.

Relying on her physical improvement and better memory, Fujiya mumbled, trying to analyze who among the nine people had the motive and ability to kill.But she always felt like she was missing something.

"What the hell is it?" Fujiya patted her head with a headache and sighed.

Even if the hallway improved her memory, it didn't make her very smart.What to ignore or what to ignore.

"Of the eight people, only four are temporarily ruled out as suspects of committing the crime." Steve looked at his little notebook and felt that this kind of deduction was really not suitable for him, "Anna is too young and has no strength to do it. Two The maid and the cook proved each other, and there was no motive for the killing."

"Lucy, the housekeeper, the tutor and the male servant have no alibi." Weasel raised his face and comforted him, "On the bright side, we have excluded half of the people."

"The two murders were caused by beating someone to death with something. If it is the same murderer, we can compare the two cases. Maybe there will be something new?" In reasoning.

Wearing his trademark trench coat, Sherlock Holmes walked two steps in front of a crowd of anxious-eyed people, and suddenly asked indifferently, "Where's the gardener?"

"What?" The butler was taken aback.

"Of course he went to prison." Mr. Walker's sister Lucy interrupted, "He killed someone and was sent to prison by my brother."

"The police also believe that he is the murderer?" Watson couldn't help asking, looking a little dazed.

"That's right." Lucy said without thinking too much, "Only he doesn't have an alibi, who else could it be if he didn't do it?"

Dagu was troubled when he heard it: "...when Mrs. Walker was killed, everyone had an alibi."

"This can only prove——" Tony said thoughtfully, with a determined expression, "Either the murderer is an outsider, or there are loopholes in the last investigation, someone's alibi proves it is wrong, or the two crimes were not committed by the same murderer."

"Holmes has long guessed that there will be a follow-up, which means that the murderer may be one person, and there are loopholes in the last investigation." Fujiya recalled the conversation between Holmes and Watson in the car, and judged happily.

"Do you really trust his judgment?" Tony was not very happy, and looked up.

"After all, it's Sherlock Holmes." Fujiya lowered her voice a little, "On rare occasions, he would make a mistake in his judgment. This is not a well-known case in memory, and it sounds quite ordinary. I believe his speculation."

"And I don't have that keen intuition. With so many people and time, it's like a mess. I don't know where to start to solve it." Fujiya said with a headache.

"If it was me... I would ask Mrs. Walker's case again last time, and confirm the testimony of everyone's location one by one." Little Itachi thought for a long time, and said slowly, with a cautious expression, "Focus on investigating Lu Do Siwok, the housekeeper, the governess and the servants have the motive and ability to kill?"

When he said this, Fujiya, who was at a loss, was also happy, and finally found a direction to analyze.

"Holmes didn't do this because the few doubtful points he has made him discover something?" Fujiya has no doubt that Holmes has the ability to see the truth from the beginning to the end.

But in any case, when Holmes did not intend to tell them, they had to analyze the investigation by themselves.

"Lucy is not weak. She is also an adult and has the ability to commit crimes. Not long ago, she quarreled with her brother over money. It can be said that she had a motive for committing the crime. For example, she killed her brother and sister-in-law in a fit of anger. Anna is still young. If she If you continue to live here, you may not be able to continue to get money in the name of taking care of Anna." Fujiya guessed honestly,

"Or according to what Holmes said, the murderer came down to kill Anna. This is also applicable. As long as Anna dies, Lucy is Mr. Walker's only brother and sister. Isn't the property all hers?"

"The butler is old, but he should have the strength to hit people hard with things. Although Mr. Walker will not benefit from his death, it may mean that the butler has always been resentful to Mr. Walker because of what happened back then." Fuji Ya Trying to guess.

"It's a little darker." Tony interjected, his voice lowered, "He is the adopted son of Old Walker, as long as Anna and Lucy are cruelly killed next, the property may also belong to him."

"The tutor doesn't seem to have much to say." Fujiya answered the question again, "The only thing I can think of is to find out what the teacher who was fired before him did."

"The maid doesn't have anything to say." Steve nodded slowly, remaining skeptical for the time being.

Now it seems that the biggest suspects are Lucy and the housekeeper.

But no matter who is the real culprit, the result is pretty bad for little Anna, after all, both of them are her closest people.

"Also, don't you think it's strange?" Dagu also found something suspicious, "In such a big house, everyone had an alibi last time, except for the gardener. This time, there were no main characters. That's simply It's like deliberately framing the gardener, this is just my guess, but I really feel a little weird."

"It's normal to have the gardener's fingerprints on the hoe, isn't it?" Steve agreed, "Although he has an affair with Mrs. Walker, there are actually no rumors or clues that they have disputes. "

"However, our speculation must be based on the fact that the two cases are the same murderer." Tony added, "Otherwise, the gardener may have done it last time."

"Tony." Fujiya looked at him helplessly, feeling that Tony still couldn't understand Holmes.

Slowly, after their enthusiastic inquiries and busy discussions, a whole morning has passed.After Holmes and Watson investigated the information, they were going to go out to the places they each said, focusing on the places where Mrs. Walker and Mr. Walker died—the living room and the study.

Fujiya and his party didn't all follow. There were five of them, and it would be too inefficient to go all together.

Let Uchiha Itachi, who is the best at observing and inspecting details, and Tony, the smartest, follow along, and Steve and Fujiya, who have explosive combat prowess, stay with Dako—they also have things to do in this group.

"I remember it." Fujiya nodded.

"First, investigate the details of the last case. Second, always pay attention to Anna's safety." Steve stressed with concern.

It didn't make sense that Holmes could find the loophole and guess that Anna was the murderer's next target, but they couldn't.

"Understood." Dagu and Fujiya nodded solemnly together.

The servants have already dispersed.The cook was in the kitchen to prepare lunch, and the two maids were chatting away in the living room.The male servant sat silently at the door fiddling with the file and wood carving in his hand. The tutor had already accompanied little Anna to sit on the sofa in the hall, choosing to sit in this position where it would not be easy for the murderer to kill, and then read and chatted with her.

In this case, she can't learn anything.

As for Lucy and the butler, both of them were accompanying Holmes' group to check the situation.

Dagu chose the two maids in the living room. With a shy and embarrassed expression on his face, he walked over and awkwardly tried to find out something new from their mouths - but the young girls nowadays just like him. In one set, the two maids relaxed and became more excited, telling what they knew like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.

Steve went to the door and got close to the manservant.

Fujiya, who is the only one who can cook, silently entered the kitchen, and talked to chef David when she was about to help.

——Actually, it can’t be said that there is no suspicion of the chef.Although the two maids have seen him in and out of the kitchen.But as long as David doesn't move slowly, he can climb out of the kitchen window, climb up to the balcony of the study on the second floor, go in and kill Mr. Walker and then come back, this is also possible.

He is fat and fat, and most people would not doubt him, but Fujiya still remembers a saying, commonly known as "flexible fat man", and there are many such cases.

"Sir, let me help you." Fujiya tried to test the chef again when she made up her mind to ask for news.She silently rolled up her sleeves and helped to peel off all the kernels of the cooked corn on the chopping board. She was still casually chatting with the chef. She chose the cute and pitiful little Anna who was easy to arouse sympathy for the cut.

"Little Anna is quite pitiful. I didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to her parents."

"Yes, Anna always encounters unfortunate things, and her spirit is not very good." Chef David was busy frying meatballs, and sighed in his mouth.

"Not in good spirits? What happened?" Fujiya continued to ask in a casual tone.

"Didn't it happen last year? It hasn't been long." Chef David said subconsciously, "That tutor—"

His face suddenly changed, knowing that he had slipped his mouth, he immediately shut up.

"Family teacher?" Fujiya lifted her spirits and grasped the point, "Is it the last one? Was he fired for something? Did he...do something to Anna?"

Fujiya didn't know if these would help the case, she just instinctively collected more information.
