[Comprehensive British and American] Those years when I opened a dessert shop on Baker Street

When Lestrade came back, he saw the mouth corners of the police officers in the room twitching, each with weirder expressions, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The subordinate waved his hand, saying that he couldn't say it now, and he would tell him later.

He nodded and walked in front of Wensty: "Thank you for cooperating with our investigation. The driver has already pleaded guilty. He is the real culprit who killed Hank."

Lestrade and a group of police officers went to the interrogation room where the driver was, and repeated Wensty and Sherlock's reasoning to him, but withheld the part about the governess and the housekeeper.The driver's eyes widened in surprise, and his face was flushed with suffocation. This was the expression of his inability to control his facial expression after the truth was revealed, but his mouth was still very strong, and he kept saying that he had nothing to do with this matter and that he was innocent.

Later, Lestrade produced the fake lock and doorknob that Sherlock had given him.

After the driver saw the fake lock and the door handle, he couldn't believe his eyes, his legs kept shaking, and finally covered his head with his hands and buried his face. When he raised his head again, his face was not red, but his whole body The spirit is dejected, and the eyes are not bright, like a red balloon being punctured by a thin needle.

He confessed everything he had done:

He invaded the house of the deceased and burglarized, and was discovered by the deceased and the housekeeper, so he decided to kill him.At this time, someone delivered desserts. He knew that there would be people delivering desserts at this time every day. If he didn't open the door, he would be suspicious, so he threatened the housekeeper to open the door, and at the same time stunned the deceased.

Afraid that the housekeeper would call for help from the dessert deliverer and expose himself, he also stunned the housekeeper and the dessert deliverer, dragged them to the deceased's workshop, bought locks and handles, and built a fake door. He has been hiding in the house all the time, pretending to be the dead to communicate with them.

When it was late at night, he put another handful of drugs to stun the people in the house again, then wrapped the dagger with his clothes, held it in the hand of the fainted dead man, stabbed it into the heart, and pretended to be Became the illusion that the deceased committed suicide, and then slipped out.

"Since this is the case, how can you be sure that the housekeeper will not identify you, and how did you manage to lock the door from the inside?"

The driver hesitated and couldn't explain it, so he said the second version:

He and the housekeeper thought that the master had gone on a trip and tried to occupy the magpie's nest, but they didn't expect that the deceased was still at home, so they wanted to kill him.But at that time, they figured out that the master's real intention of letting the butler stay overnight was for the butler to take care of the deceased. If the deceased died suddenly, the butler would definitely be implicated, so they tried to create an unsolved case, so they fainted Wensty, who came to deliver desserts. .

He bought a lock and a doorknob and faked it into another door, and then the housekeeper deliberately guided him to say that he locked the door from the inside, creating the illusion of a double secret room where he could neither get out nor get in.

In the evening, Wensty, who brought desserts, was stunned again, removed the doorknob and lock, and killed the deceased by pretending to commit suicide. After he finished everything and slipped out, the housekeeper locked the door from the inside, creating a room A real chamber of secrets.

Because it is a double secret room, the murderer can only be found in the secret room. First, his own suspicions are cleared, but the housekeeper and Winsty didn't really do anything, so it will become an unsolved case in the end.

The driver has told [-]% of the [-]% of the truth and concealed the last [-]%.

"He refused to confess to Allen, and kept saying that he was the one who pretended to be Hank in the studio." Lestrade informed Sherlock, Winsty and others of the driver's final confession.

Out of a father's instinct to protect his children, the driver has always refused to say that his son was also involved in the murder, but it was just a futile struggle.

He asked a question at the end, the lock and the doorknob had already been disposed of by him, and they were thrown in different places, how did they find them?

Lestrade told him kindly that it wasn't really the lock and the handle he bought at all—

Why would Sherlock go to the hardware store for no reason? The moment he handed over the lock and door handle, Lestrade knew what he meant: the driver would mistakenly think that the camouflage lock and door handle had been found, These two things had his fingerprints on them, and the evidence was conclusive, and he couldn't hide it.

"What should he do if he refuses to admit that these two things are his?" Lestrade thought of another situation.

The moment Sherlock looked over, Wensty understood that he regarded this question as "obvious". He didn't want to answer this kind of "obvious" question, and she came to answer it for him.

"The owner of the hardware store can identify it. The hardware store that Mr. Holmes took me to this afternoon is the same one that the driver went to yesterday," Winsty replied, "But, Mr. Holmes, there are so many hardware stores in London. , how do you know that the driver went to that hardware store yesterday?"

Obviously, the sentence "obviously" cannot answer this question, and Mr. Sherlock Holmes has to explain it himself.

"The distance is moderate. He can't go too close, he can be easily recognized by the neighbors around him, and he can't go too far, it will take too much time to go back and forth."

After he finished explaining, Winsty understood that the driver had been driving for so long and was already very familiar with the route. Only the hardware store they went to in the afternoon was moderately far away and in a remote location. If they went there to buy locks and door handles, they would not provoke suspicion.

"It's amazing." Wensty admired in a low voice, this time her praise was different from the hype before, it came spontaneously, and it really came from her heart.

"Thank you." Sherlock didn't accept her previous compliment, but accepted this compliment.

The truth has been revealed, the murderer and accomplices have surfaced, and the driver's family will be imprisoned, awaiting judgment.

Lestrade walked up to Winsty and said to her, "Thank you for your cooperation."

"You're welcome."

Winsty finally regained her innocence completely, she immediately relaxed, and said goodbye to the surrounding police officers politely.

Morticia has always taught her to pay attention to etiquette and politeness, and even taught her a full set of court etiquette. Under the influence of her ears and eyes, she has done a perfect job of politeness in dealing with others.

However, Winsty wondered why Sherlock Holmes had been standing by her side as she said goodbye.

"Have you finished the useless words that humans think are humble and polite?"

After turning a corner in Wensty's mind, she realized that the "words that humans think are humble and polite but useless" in this gentleman's mouth referred to polite words.

He was asking her if she had finished her polite speech?

Winsty nodded: "It's over."

"Let's go then."

"it is good."

Regarding the fact that Sherlock was walking with her, Wensty felt that there was nothing wrong with it. The two of them lived directly across the street, so it was perfectly normal for them to walk together.

But Lestrade didn't think so, he thought he still understood Sherlock.Sherlock has always liked to be alone, and he didn't even pay much attention to his own brother. Suddenly, he was walking with a woman, which was a big deal.

Coupled with the previous incident with Anderson, it really gets trickier the more you look at it.

When the police officer on the side recounted what Winsty had said to Sherlock, Lestrade's eyes turned into copper bells, so is this a scene where the suspect falls in love with the detective who restores her innocence?

And Sherlock agreed to walk with her, did he accept this feeling in disguise? !

Lestrade thought about it, if he reported this matter to the person above him, how would that person above him react?
