"First, it is used in the ritual ceremony. This word undoubtedly refers to objects. It may be a kind of treasure. The treasure was put away, but this gentleman's ancestors promised someone to keep it temporarily, so it was later When a person takes out the treasure and hands it to the next person, since the treasure belongs to the dead person, the next person must be the descendant of the dead person.

Second, isn’t the location clearly marked? In the direction of the rising sun, when you reach the top of the oak tree, look at the top of the shadow of the elm tree, which is the location of the treasure.Even the distance is marked so clearly for you.

Third, no woman will suddenly say that she is already very strong, unless she has just done some work that requires strength, and digging treasures is completely in line. The housekeeper found the treasure and begged for a month to find a place to bring the treasure Let's go, he can't do it alone, so naturally he has accomplices, isn't the maid just right, because a man always feels that even a woman who is abandoned by him will definitely help him once he needs help.

But he seems to have guessed wrong. Since the butler disappeared first, and the maid disappeared later, the butler should be dead by now. After all, it was because of the grumpy lady. As for the things fished out of the water, they are probably treasures. Bar.I'm not interested in treasures, but the font of the Musgrave Ritual can tell its approximate year, and if we go back to the time when Mr. Musgrave's ancestors were loyal or friends, then the owner of the treasure will naturally emerge up. "

The girl's analysis was very clear, she didn't come to the scene, but she seemed to be convinced that there must be oak and elm in the Musgrave's house, the housekeeper must be dead, and the things that were fished out were treasures, all of which were very convincing.

At the very least, Musgrave was dumbfounded, from looking forward to Sherlock to looking at Beatrice with admiration.

Sherlock was upset, but he couldn't say that there was a loophole in the girl's deduction. On the contrary, he remembered that the girl had only watched the ceremony by his side, and she seemed to be sitting back on the sofa without interest. The case was solved. Doesn't this mean that he lost to others in solving the case?

"Then~" The girl smiled triumphantly, stretched out her hand, Sherlock clicked his tongue, but still squatted down, the girl jumped up, he almost didn't fall, but fortunately he stabilized, with a black face He firmly supported the delicate little princess to prevent her from falling, and then got up.

However, I didn't imagine that this guy was harshly treated in the palace, and he was so underweight. Although he had never carried other women, Sherlock still knew how much a woman of this age should weigh.

That's why it is said that Beatrice is very small, and she is always used as a humanoid pillow by the queen.If the girl knew that she was praised for her light weight, she would probably be happier than having solved the case.

Musgrave looked at the scene where Sherlock was unconvinced but had to betray him, and always felt that the rebellious Sherlock had met his natural enemy.

Although it is said to be carried on people's backs, but just to appreciate the scenery on the high place, the girl will not be noticed by others in the public and on the backs of others. This is still a relatively empty residential area, and there are no people coming and going. She just After a while, I felt bored and jumped down, then got into the carriage called by Musgrave, and we went to the train station together.

Because the Helstone Manor where Musgrave is located, in Sussex, you need to take a train to get there.The girl boarded the train for the first time with great interest, and looked left and right. If it weren't for her clothes and the two people around her, everyone else would have suspected that she was planning to steal something. She looked like a country girl. People have never seen the world.

The scenery outside the window passed quickly. The girl sat on the chair and looked outside. After a while, she felt dazzled and looked back, "How long will it take?" Sherlock doesn't like wasting time on the train very much, he He touched his pocket, intending to take out a cigarette, then saw Beatrice again, hesitated for two seconds and withdrew his hand, but became more and more irritable.

It's not that he really hates Beatrice. He actually appreciates her intelligence, but Sherlock always thinks of Chris when he sees her. Although the two have completely different personalities, Chris will not be like this To get close to him, she resisted him very much at first, as if he had done something bad. Although it got better later on, the letter like a suicide note made him very puzzled. He really seemed to want to treat that guy William What do the bad guys do?How can you tell? It's looks.

Anyway, in the past two years, after Sherlock moved out of the house, he had no contact with the three Moriarty brothers. After all, their only contact was Chris. Having some contact, the province is really like what Chris thought, he couldn't help but hold his breath when he saw William, his own confession was skipped by the smart Chris and he didn't notice it at all, but Chris He likes William, and he can't find out about her death until now, because there is no relevant information, but he always feels that he has something to do with William, so he resists contact with William even more.

There are too few smart people in this world, so he finds it very boring, so he is obsessed with solving the case. I have to say that Chris is the one who sees him right away. The first time she invited him to solve the case, it also opened up his understanding of the case. Interested in solving puzzles and solving crimes, I have to say that this career is very suitable for him.

I don't know why I thought of Chris, Sherlock withdrew his empty gaze, it must be because the guy of the same color is dangling in front of him, it's really annoying, Sherlock said something insincere in his heart.

"I'll leave for a while." Sherlock stood up, still unable to resist the urge to smoke, and planned to go to the toilet, where there was a window to the outside.The girl nodded without paying much attention, and after a while, Sherlock came back with a serious face on his face.

"What's wrong?" the listless girl with her hands on her head asked doubtfully, "It's nothing." Sherlock still remembered that he was going to deal with Helstone Manor now, and he couldn't go anywhere else as he wanted.

The girl seemed to have mind-reading skills. After looking at Sherlock for a while, she said clearly, "You have encountered other puzzles and want to leave, right? Then go do your business first, and I will go with Mr. Musgrave , anyway, the puzzles are all solved, and the next thing is just a confirmation, it doesn’t matter if you’re there or not, just go and do your thing.” Although this sounds rather embarrassing, it has to be said that it fits Sherlock's thoughts.

However, he remembered his brother's advice again. If the little princess was lost, the girl noticed his eyes and said displeasedly, "Am I so like a lost person?"

Musgrave also noticed that Sherlock seemed to have encountered something important, so he quickly said, "You go about your business first. After the matter is resolved, I will send this lady to the train safely."

"That's right, I'm 16 years old and not 6 years old. I'll just go home after the train arrives." The girl nodded, and Sherlock finally showed a relaxed expression when he looked at such a considerate little princess, "Then Well, don't stay too late and go back, London is not safe at night, or find a carriage to take you back when you get back to London, by the way, do you have any money?"

Sherlock always felt that as a princess, he definitely didn't have the habit of carrying money with him. He was about to check if he had any money, when he saw the girl took out a small bag from the sleeve of her clothes, which seemed to contain a lot of money. Bring money."

"Oh." Sherlock said with a cold face. At the halfway stop, Sherlock got off the bus with a person, but that person seemed to be in a bad state of mind, his eyes were not focused, and his walk was a little wandering, and he didn't seem to be It's like making an appointment with Sherlock, but it's like stalking like Sherlock?The girl also saw the strange feeling, but she didn't care.

The queen trusts the Sherlock Holmes family. Mycroft is a good man, which means Sherlock is also a good man. Although this formula may be laughed at, she still trusts her sixth sense as a woman. Locke was close, as if they had been friends before.Otherwise, who would be so familiar with the person they met for the first time, she is also as proud as a princess, although those maids would not believe this.

The girl followed Musgrave to Helstone Manor. The oak tree is easy to find, the oldest one is the one, and the elm is also the oldest one. Although it was struck by lightning and its trunk was sawn off, it still remains. Well, Musgrave knew the height of the elm, so measuring the length of the shadow was naturally very simple. According to the calculated distance and the number of steps, the two successfully found the basement.

In the basement is the dead butler, and the way for the maid to kill the butler is also very simple, because entering the basement requires removing a very heavy stone slab, they used a more convenient method, during which the maid removed the support, the stone slab Re-capped so the housekeeper suffocated in it, had to say it was an easy way.

Seeing that everything was just as the lady said, Musgrave looked at the noble lady who was younger than him in awe, "Excuse me?" You should know, right?" the girl said indifferently.

Musgrave thought for a while under the prompt, "That's right, I might know it. It should be the treasure of Charles I. My ancestors were famous royalists in the era of Charles I. They were Charles II's right-hand man during his escape. .”

"Well, it's quite reasonable. The first generation who died, the second generation who took over, but it seems that your ancestors couldn't return the treasure to the second generation due to various reasons, so they left the ceremony to let future generations find this secret and pass it on to the second generation. The treasure was returned to the Second King, but none of you understood the meaning of the ceremony." The girl felt that the IQ of people in this world might be a little low, so it's easy to understand, why not?It's because her way of thinking is fundamentally different from this world, as if the essence of some things is easier for her to see through at a glance.
