And in the backyard of the Marquis Selton's house, in the iron cage where wild animals were kept, a vagrant kept rolling his eyes, especially noticing the figure appearing in the corner, and waved his hands excitedly, because he was locked up tightly. To be honest, no guards were arranged here, the black figure rushed over, poured out the liquid from the test tube in his hand, easily broke the lock hanging on the iron cage, and the man opened the cage door.

The vagrant ran out quickly, and then breathed a sigh of relief, "Your delivery is too dangerous. I was almost killed by that scary-looking nobleman. Fortunately, you came back to save me as you said."

"Take this money and leave here, go to a town farther away, the Marquis will not remember what you look like, and you will be completely safe in two days." It was a voice that was more immature than a waif, under the moonlight, Only then can it be seen that it is a teenager wearing a hat and a black coat, with some black hair exposed under the hat.

A gold coin was accepted by the waif in surprise, and then he quickly climbed over the high wall and slipped away consciously. "Now the follow-up evidence has also been cleaned up. Sister Chris is really exhaustive. It's almost time now, so we should be able to gather." Louis pulled his hat to cover his face.

It’s all sister Chrissy who said that if you do bad things, you can’t show your appearance, so I gave Louis and William a wig with different hair colors. William is brown, Louis is black, and the hat can cover some of the face. Even the waif and the servants of Baskerville Manor would never be able to testify against them afterwards, after all, they were blond.

Louis easily jumped over the wall and left here. The back door of the small theater was the gathering place as usual.William was standing there leaning against the wall, "Brother, is sister Chris here?" Louis asked after looking around.

Fred, who had already changed into the women's clothes, sat beside him silently.During the auction just now, he slipped away according to Chris's plan. Because of his small stature, and his sense of existence was always hidden by Chris, the others didn't notice it for a while, after all, they didn't expect that they had This guts.

The two guards on the stairs were easily brought down by Fred using the contents of the test tube given by Chris. He didn't even draw out the knife, and by the way, he arranged some on the stairs according to what Chris said. Something caused the explosion and the intensification of the fire, and successfully blocked the road, allowing the Marquis and the nobles to walk through the passage on the other side just like Chris designed.

And the passage here was discovered when Fred was investigating before. After sneaking out in advance, Fred set off a signal flare as Chris said, and William and Louis began to implement the plan, leading out The Marquis of Sternton came to block people, and kindly suggested that he call Scotland Yard and call more of his own people.Under the watchful eyes of everyone, those civilian girls who escaped, and those nobles who participated in the transaction, had ironclad evidence.

Why did you think of using the Marquis of Selton? Naturally, it was because Chris’s political lessons were not in vain. Since she set a long-term goal for the future, by reforming the parliament, creating democratic politics, giving common people an equal identity and pulling The polarizing distance of the near noble commoners.So she memorized the relevant information of all the current members of the parliament. Even if some names were too long to remember, she also took notes. As long as she had some impressions, she would know by looking through the notes.

Just right, the Marquess of Baskerville was the invisible leader of another party in the parliament, the Liberal Party. Chris knew the most information about him, and he also knew who his enemies were.To deal with people that he can't deal with at the moment, it is natural to chase the wolves and chase the tiger, and use his strength to fight. As long as he has accurate information, Marquis Sternton will definitely do it.

In fact, it was indeed as planned by Chris, and everything went perfectly according to the plan.

Chrissy didn't intend to directly cause a big explosion in the exchange, because the safety of those girls also included the lives of the nobles who were interested.If they died in a strange way, it would be easy for people to find Chris and the others.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case, so Chris has another and better way.

Although it was the middle of the night, the justice was still quarreled in his sleep and stared at Selton with an angry face, but after hearing the words of Marquis Selton and the relevant evidence provided, he immediately turned to He became serious, and immediately asked Scotland Yard to provide witnesses, that is to say, let other nobles involved in the transaction provide testimony.

Those nobles were naturally eager to get rid of the relationship, so they all shirked and said that they could not resist the intimidation and temptation of the Marquis of Baskerville. All red.But at the same time, under the testimonies of allies in the past, and the gradually increasing number of testimonial documents in the hands of Scotland Yard, he understood that this time it is absolutely impossible to settle the matter, but what can he do at this moment, he can only wait here to die .

In the middle of the night, a figure slipped into the cell of the Marquess of Baskerville, and took out a bottle full of poison, as if intending to poison him. The vigilant Baskerville immediately waved him away, tried his best to resist, and shouted, Seeing this, the man ran away quickly.

Baskerville heaved a sigh of relief. He almost had a cerebral hemorrhage in the fight just now, and felt the weakness of his body. Baskerville's hatred deepened. At this time, he saw the suspected poison in the man's hand just now. Because he waved his hand away, it fell to the ground. The bottle has not been broken yet. It is a whole bottle of poison powder.

Baskerville picked up the bottle, his eyes went from hesitation at the beginning to firmness and madness later.

next morning

Because of those testimonies, Baskerville and other nobles will then be escorted to the Palace of Westminster, where they will be judged in full view. Baskerville's voice is also a little weak at this moment, and he proposes to Scotland Yard to wash up and After dinner, go to the trial of the House of Lords.

The police officers of Scotland Yard naturally dared not do anything in front of the Marquis before he was sentenced. After hearing this sentence, which was basically equivalent to his last words, he immediately prepared, but the Marquis said, "This time I dragged other people down. , Let them have a meal with me, after all, I am a death penalty, and they can still get out alive."

The other nobles couldn't help but feel a little guilty and embarrassed when they heard what they said, and they all agreed. For this reason, Scotland Yard had to clear a hall to put tables, and let the chef who was cooking for the guards cook dozens of meals at once. portion of meals.

"I'm going to take a look. I have something I want to eat. Can I talk to the chef alone?" The Marquis seemed to have accepted his future fate, and said calmly. The policeman naturally didn't dare not agree. See Followed the Marquis into the kitchen, and came out again after a while.

Afterwards, the Marquis went to wash up, looking much more energetic, and then sat at the spliced ​​dining table with those former allies, eating the lowest-grade meals in his life, and the atmosphere on the dining table was very awkward.

The Marquis kept telling everyone not to be polite, and the nobles ate the not-so-tasty food stiffly. After a while, the Marquis put down the knife and fork after eating contentedly.

The guards seemed to hesitate for a moment, but they still said, "My lord, it's time to go to the Palace of Westminster." The Marquis suddenly laughed wildly, "I don't want to go there, I don't want to see those ugly people, those people People who only add insult to injury, and my nephew who always wants to get rid of my control, bah, I will be a high-ranking marquis until my death, and I am not something you can bully." A stream of bright red blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and then he nodded Crooked, fell on the chair.

Suddenly, the guard panicked, and stretched out his trembling hand under the Marquis's nose, "Dead!" He stepped back several steps at once. This was the Marquis. He died in their Scotland Yard, what a dereliction of duty. Even if the marquis is going to die later, there is a big difference between dying after being sentenced and dying before participating in the judgment.

When the guard was flustered, he noticed that the other nobles were also wailing in pain one by one. They moved ferociously and waved their hands in the air, as if they wanted to wave away the invisible hand that was choking their necks, but it was of no avail. After the Marquis, they all died at once.The guard sat slumped on the ground and couldn't face this terrible situation anymore.

"What?! They're all dead!" Sternton, who was sitting on the seat of the House of Lords, exclaimed, "What's going on!" He grabbed the collar of the guard who came to report the news and said.

He planned to watch the scene of the enemy being humiliated and tried, but he didn't plan to watch those comrades die together. After all, although the case lasted for three years and many civilians died, the crime can be offset by the death of only one marquis. , the other nobles are at most punished, either reducing their fiefs or losing money.

The death of only one nobleman and after the trial is completely different from the concept of killing a dozen noblemen at once. At least Stanton felt a chill all over his body, as if something was wrong.

This incident really alarmed the Queen, and she sent her most trusted Sergeant Holmes to investigate the scene.

Mr. Holmes looked at the scene and the collected testimonies of the guards, regarding all the performances of the Marquess of Baskerville, and came to the conclusion that "because the nobles who lived in the cell next to the Marquis of Baskerville were all dead, witnesses cannot be obtained, but There were signs of a second person entering the cell, who seemed to be poisoning the Marquess of Baskerville, but the poison was knocked out during the fight, and the Marquis of Baskerville might have issued a call for help or other movements, which shocked him. Run away, and then the Marquis of Baskerville picked up the poison, because of his ally, that is, the other nobles' testimony against him, he was fatally poisoned in the breakfast with the suggestion of eating together in the morning. Doubtful evidence. Except for some doubtful points that cannot be explained."
