[Shen Xia] Tricked away a big detective
Chapter 19 9
Fulla didn't know what Sherlock had done, anyway, when she got off the train, was picked up by a car with Sherlock, and came to an independent villa, she had a vague sense of crisis about being sold.
"Sir!" Fulla quietly grabbed Sherlock's hand: "Where is this?"
"Hush..." Sherlock gestured to Fulla, then pretended nothing happened, and followed the driver into the villa.
There were several men and women sitting in the living room. When they saw Sherlock coming in, they all stood up and greeted her, and then hugged Fulla: "My God! You are finally back!"
Fulla: Meow meow! ! !
Sherlock stepped forward and pulled Fulla out of the encirclement: "Everyone! Mr. Brooke is still waiting in the study, I want to take Miss Fulla to meet her grandpa first!"
Fulla looked at Sherlock with a dazed expression. She passively followed him into a study room, was pushed into a chair and sat down, and watched as Sherlock shook hands with an old man sitting behind the desk: "Tim Crouch, private eye."
The old man looked sad, but he still squeezed out a smile: "Dengwen Brook, you are all welcome."
Fulla raised her hand to speak, but was violently knocked off by Sherlock: "Mr. Brooke, I hope you can explain this incident to me in detail."
Deng Wenbrooke sighed: "If my family had not been involved in this incident, I would not have found a detective agency. Mr. Crouch, you are my best friend--Professor Rhodes of Oxford University recommended it to me Detective, he should have told you the whole story."
Sherlock raised his eyebrows: "Oh, but I think it will be more authentic if the parties themselves tell it. Please tell me about this case again in detail."
Deng Wenbrooke closed his eyes slightly: "I really don't want to recall this. My children, the Daniel family, died overnight due to a gas leak last month!" He took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped it. He rolled his eyes and said, "I happened to be a guest at his house those few days. If I hadn't visited Old Rhodes that night and rested at his house, I'm afraid I, the old man, would have left with them too!"
Sherlock nodded: "I'm very sorry, sir, but please continue to recall what you found next."
Dunwin Brooke said: "We came back here after the funeral for his family, all of us except my poor Daniel, and it turned out that last week my youngest daughter, Erieville, was playing in the yard. When I was there, I found half a piece of burnt paper, which was part of the content of the will. Someone! Someone imitated my handwriting and forged a will!"
Sherlock asked: "Is there a beneficiary listed in the will?"
Deng Wen shook his head: "It's only a small part of the content. I can only find that it is a will imitating my handwriting."
Sherlock folded his fingertips together to form a steeple shape: "So you start to suspect the cause of Daniel's death. Someone forged the will, and then an accident will cause you to die unexpectedly, so as to get all the inheritance, but in the end you didn't follow the plan. The same death, so the murderer had to destroy the forged will and find a new opportunity."
"Yes! Yes!" Deng Wen's face showed a trace of panic: "After I found out about this, I immediately sent little Yili to Old Rhodes, and I dare not call the police. The people involved in this matter There are too many, I don't want to make too much noise. Old Rhodes recommended you to me, Mr. Crouch, please find the murderer and ensure my safety!"
Fulla frowned. The old man didn't see how reluctant he was for his dead son from the beginning to the end. He was only afraid that he would be killed. That son was obviously dragged to death by him!What bad luck!
Sherlock nodded upon hearing this: "Can you tell us about your current family structure in detail?"
Deng Wen nodded: "Yes, yes." He leaned back in the chair, as if lost in memory: "My name is Deng Wen, and I am already 76. My first wife is called Judy, and she is only two years younger than me. She is a very nice woman, we always go for walks and watch old movies together, which is really enjoyable! It's a pity that she left too early. When she left, I couldn't come back because of business. See her for the last time, alas!"
Sherlock knocked the table impatiently: "I think we can spend more time on the living."
Deng Wen glared at Sherlock: "I'm about to talk! Don't interrupt!" He continued: "Judy gave birth to three sons and a daughter for me, the eldest son is Daniel; the second son is Eugene, 43 years old , his wife Meili is very young, only 24 years old this year, and there is a son Sean who is the same age as Meili; Joanna is the third child, her husband Quint is her college classmate, and the two have no children; and Youngest son Francis, 36 years old, wife Novia, their children are with Novia's parents, not here. I also have a younger daughter, Eliville, with my second wife Jessica The child is just ten years old."
"How is the relationship between Jessica and your children?"
"Daniel moved out a long time ago for my children, and Eugene has been living with me. I can't talk about a good relationship with Jessica, but I respect her more because of me. As for Joanna, she Don't like Jessica, but she and her husband are living in their own house and will be back on weekends, so there is no obvious conflict. Francis can't, he has always hated me for not coming back to see Judy for the last time, on After college, I seldom come back, and I didn’t even attend Jessica’s wedding.”
Sherlock sorted out the information in his brain, and said: "I am here as your personal lawyer this time, this is Miss Fulla, she is my assistant, she will play Daniel in this case Illegitimate daughter, our identities will have a lot to do with your inheritance, so I hope you will give us absolute authority and freedom in this house."
Deng Wen nodded: "Of course." He stood up and opened the door of the study: "Come with me, I will introduce you to everyone."
Fulla became the illegitimate daughter of Daniel Brook in such a ignorant way, and also the only survivor descendant of his family.After seeing all relatives in a daze, she was sent back to the room, and as soon as everyone left, she rushed to Sherlock's room angrily: "What's going on! Didn't you say that you sent me to recuperate!"
Sherlock is taking out his clothes one by one and hanging them in the closet: "The scenery here is beautiful, the environment is good, there is nothing suitable for you to recuperate."
Fulla sat directly on Sherlock's bed: "Do you think I'm stupid! This is obviously a family killing each other for the old man's inheritance, and you let me pretend to be his extra granddaughter for no reason! Isn't this using me as bait? !"
Sherlock clapped his hands lightly: "Oh, I didn't expect that Miss Fulla could easily see my plan!" He continued to put his pants into the closet: "You promised me that the previous case is not over, You have to keep helping me."
Fulla spread her hands: "So, what is going on here has anything to do with the previous case!"
Sherlock leaned on the closet: "Don't tell me you want to go to Kuwait with me to investigate the matter of the Fanning Sect while dragging your still wounds?" How could I accept such a case! Such a boring property fight, if it was before, this kind of case would not be able to enter the gate of 221B!"
"Huh?! Then I have to thank you, don't I!" Fulla laughed angrily, "Just go to Kuwait and leave me alone, lest I hold you back!"
Sherlock walked up to Fulla and looked down at her: "You let Cecil go, so you must be responsible for this matter."
He stood in front of her like this, Fulla felt a little oppressed, she pushed Sherlock back a little: "Do you know what I'm angry about?" She looked at Sherlock: "I have no objection to your investigation, I just I was wondering why you never informed me when you made a decision!"
Sherlock looked at Fulla, her dark eyes were staring at him earnestly, which reminded him that he was in the yard of Abraham's house before, and she looked at him without crying, telling himself what she had done Just the way you look when you want a little hope.
Seeing that Sherlock didn't answer herself, Fulla continued: "Before at Abraham's house, you suddenly told me that you didn't need me anymore, and then disappeared. Do you know how scared I am? Then, without warning, you suddenly Sneak into the backyard, if I hadn't gone to get the dog food that night, have you thought about what the result would be! And that day, we clearly agreed, when I come back to cover you, you come out from under the bed, and I'll spend the whole day I was worried about you, but when I came back, I found that you had disappeared, my heart almost jumped out! You thought I was not afraid of sneaking into the basement with Teresa that night, but no matter how scared I was, I had to find you!"
Sherlock turned his head a little awkwardly. This is a woman he has never met before. She is different from the people he has come into contact with before. She is stupid and has no serious work and skills, but she has a keen intuition like a small animal. She caters to this world cautiously, even if she is used or abandoned, she still has to struggle desperately. Although these struggles are meaningless in his eyes, for such a goldfish, maybe this is what they can do I did my best.As he thought about it, he suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart. It can be said that Fulla was lonely and helpless in the first half of her life. She was afraid of being abandoned and extremely insecure.She stumbled all the way to London, trying to protect herself among a group of homeless people. If she hadn't met herself, she might have ended her life in the basement of Abraham's house.
Fulla looked at Sherlock, hoping to get a little response, but he didn't know what he was thinking, and there was a look of pity on his face.That's right!Not mercy!It's pity!Fulla trembled in her heart, fearing that she would not be able to hold back her face, she quickly lowered her head and said in a low voice: "I don't think it's bad to follow you, I just hope that you can notify me after you make any decision, we are obviously buddy!"
Sherlock stepped forward, hugged Fulla's shoulders, and patted her on the back lightly: "Okay."
Fulla was hugged unexpectedly (actually she wasn't), and her body froze obviously.good?good what good?
She was hesitating whether to push Sherlock away, when she suddenly heard the sound of the door being opened: "Mr. Crouch, if you pack up, come down to eat! Oh, I'm sorry, I don't know!" Fulla pushed away Sherlock, looking out the door, his "aunt" Joanna kept pushing the door, looking at the two hugging together in surprise: "Sorry, I didn't expect Fulla to be here with you. Uh, you... ..." She glanced back and forth between the two people in the room.
Sherlock didn't feel embarrassed by Fulla at all. He straightened his shirt and pulled Fulla up from the bed: "Let's go downstairs for dinner."
