[Comprehensive] Please call me Miss Holmes
Chapter 13
Cox passed five tests and finally got the position of librarian at Oxford University. His task is to open and close the library on time every day, and is responsible for checking the students and tourists entering the library to prevent them from bringing kindling, pens and fountain pens In the library, it is required to only use pencils to make records, so as not to pollute those precious books.
On the first day he took office, he was warned by the old librarian that there is a troublesome person among the freshmen this year. Inside the hall.
It was a foggy morning in London. When Cox came to the library, he saw a figure sitting on the steps in the distance. He thought this should be the troublesome figure mentioned by the old administrator——Sherlock Holmes Bar!
When he got closer, he found that Mr. Holmes was not at all as bookish as he had imagined.Cox even found that he didn't even have glasses. His face was pale, and his body was particularly slender because of his unusual thinness; Doesn't look like someone who would spend a day in a library.
Sherlock is particularly irritable today, and Victor Trevor, who is at the same level, asks him to investigate a strange thing, which is related to photography.He thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Now he urgently needs to find some information about photography.
Victor is very interested in photography. He usually works part-time in a photo studio. He took a picture of a Mrs. von Macht that day, but when the photo came out, he found that besides Mrs. Von Macht, he had also photographed The figure of a girl in a black dress stood just behind Mrs. von Macht, glaring at her angrily.Victor originally thought that someone was standing opposite his wife when the photo was taken, because where the girl in the black dress was standing was originally a full-length mirror.
But when he showed the photo to Mrs. von Macht, the lady said that the girl in the black dress in the photo was her dead daughter.Madame von Macht cried and said that she was sorry for her daughter and should not quarrel with her.But when Mr. von Macht came back, he was furious. He thought that Victor was fooling his poor wife, using fake photos to trick his wife into tears, in order to get more rewards.Mr von Macht even sued Victor for fraud.The court session was on Thursday, and Victor knew his friend's talent in reasoning, so he asked Holmes to find favorable evidence to prove his innocence.But until now Sherlock didn't know why Victor took such a photo.
After searching all morning, Sherlock found nothing.He decided to pay a visit to Herr von Macht's.
The von Machts' home on wide, affluent and fashionable Fifth Avenue was modest but elegant.As can be seen from the housing aspect, the von Macht family has a lot of wealth.
Sherlock rang the doorbell, and it was a black maid who came to open the door, about 19 or [-] years old, saluted the guest very respectfully, and asked the purpose of the visit with a smile.Sherlock took out Scotland Yard's proof that Mycroft has many such things, all kinds, everything, and it is absolutely effective.Sherlock didn't think it would matter much if he took one.Anyway, the certificate is to be used, who cares who is using it!
Mycroft, who was performing his task, sneezed. .
Sherlock was invited to the living room. The living room was warm and bright, with valuable landscape paintings hanging on the walls. After sitting for a while, Mr. von Macht arrived.
"About the ghost photo case, I want to know some questions," Sherlock imitated the police detective's attitude when handling the case, and asked solemnly,
Mr. von Macht was obviously very angry. Since the person in front of him was not a person who could lose his temper, he had to hold back, "This is a hateful fraud, it is obvious, I don't know if you still want to know What?"
"The girl in the picture, Emily," said Sherlock, "I'm sorry to mention her, how did she die?"
Mr. von Macht froze for a moment, as if he thought the question was strange, but he still answered, "It was suicide, Mr. Detective, Emily was suffering from depression, and Connie had an argument with her that morning. Connie wanted her to go to the hospital to see a doctor, but Emily didn't want to admit that she was suffering from depression. When she woke up the next day, Gina, the maid who opened the door, found that Emily had soaked herself in She committed suicide in the bathtub. Connie blamed herself very much and felt that she had killed Emily." Mr. von Macht's eyes were slightly red, and he seemed to be in great pain.
Sherlock asked a few more questions, but Mr. von Macht was so caught up in his daughter's nostalgia that he had to take his leave for the time being.
Coming out of Von Macht's house, Sherlock was frowning, but soon he heard someone calling him: "Mr. Detective, please wait a moment," it was the maid Gina,
"Mr. Detective, listen to me, Emily, she...has no depression at all, this is all made up by Mrs. and Mrs. She is not their biological daughter at all, she was adopted, I am her My sister." Gina, who hurriedly chased after her, said out of breath, and Sherlock was inspired by the discovery of new clues.
"Please elaborate, Miss Gina."
"Emily," Gina was silent for a moment, seemingly lost in memory, "is the daughter of Madame von Macht's sister, Chloe. Chloe's husband, Emily's father, is a wealthy businessman , after his death, Emily and her mother inherited the property, which became more after the company was sold."
"Emily's mother moved to London with her daughter after her husband's death and they wanted to be closer to her family. Chloe and Emily were very welcome to the von Machts. However, when von- Their relationship became strained when Mr Macht tried to take control of their property."
"I was an orphan and I grew up in an orphanage and I was adopted by Emily's mother who took me as her own daughter and I called her Mama. There was a very happy time before we came to this house , Emily and I like to dance together. She wears a black dress and I wear a white dress and we dress up as elves and laugh non-stop.”
"But Chloe's mother died in long-term miss for her husband. I was 11 years old, and Emily was only seven years old. I became an orphan again. Because my mother did not complete all the procedures to adopt me-I became Emily, however, became a wealthy heir. Officially adopted by the von Machts, they wanted control of her estate."
"When they took Emily, they took me. But I was not adopted as a sister, but as a servant, and Emily was very angry when they did this to me. But personally I said, as long as I don’t separate from Emily, I’m willing to do anything. Some time ago, Mr. von Macht’s business had a problem. He drafted some documents for Emily to sign, but Emily refused. It made Mr. von Macht very angry. He claimed that Emily had depression and didn't want to see anyone, kept her at home, and even if Emily was sick, he would not take her to see a doctor."
"Haven't you thought about running away?" Sherlock asked.
"We planned."
"Then why didn't you run away later? What happened?"
"Emily tried to find someone to help us and told the chef, but the chef was too scared and told Mr von Macht instead, and Emily has been locked up in the basement since then. I beg her, let She signed the papers to save her own life, but," Gina said emphatically, "she swore, she said if she died, she'd find a way to get her revenge—for both of us—to the von Machts. revenge."
"Why didn't they deal with you? You know everything about it, don't you?" Sherlock stared into Gina's eyes tightly,
Gina burst into tears, "I'm just a servant, Mr. Detective, I don't have what they want. I think Emily died to avenge herself better. Do you want to go to the basement to see? Ai That's where Millie died. Come to the back door at night and I'll take you there."
Sherlock sat in a nearby coffee shop all afternoon and had a simple dinner. As soon as it was dark, he came to the back door of Von Macht's house. He knocked on the door carefully, and soon Gina appeared up.
"No one saw you coming, Mr. Detective," Gina said very cautiously,
"Yes," Sherlock felt something was wrong, but he followed Gina in.
They walked through the dark corridor and came to a place similar to a storage room. There were many sundries piled up on the floor. Gina moved the box to reveal a movable wooden board. When the wooden board was opened, the stairs appeared.Holding a flashlight, Sherlock walked in front of Gina, and after walking for a while, he saw the whole picture of the basement.Sherlock's hairs stood on end.
It is not so much a basement as it is a prison cell of the last century. There are iron chains scattered on the ground. If you look carefully, you can find the rust on the iron chains. In the middle, there is a photo of Sherlock walking up Go ahead, pick up the photo and take a closer look.At this moment, he suddenly noticed a problem. There are three iron chains in the basement. Where are the von Machts?For one person, buy three iron chains.
He turned around, but saw a strange smile on Gina's face. The next moment, he felt chills all over his body and his heartbeat slowed down. It seemed that this was not a basement but an ice cellar.At the last second when his consciousness fell into darkness, he seemed to see a white light, and in the light was his little sister Circe.
Sherlock didn't fall to the ground, but was floating in the air. Gina was shocked, "Who is it? Come out!"
Circe stood in the dark, secretly thankful that he had finally caught up.Next, let this deadly evil wizard taste the pain of being backlashed!
