Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

"As long as you don't have distracting thoughts, you can act naturally, don't you think?"

Faced with Dantès' eyes, Sherlock nodded in agreement without hesitation.

He was not guilty at all, and he took the initiative to ask for a change in the review method. Could it be that he had a ghost in his heart?

No, that's just a self-challenge.My side chose to challenge the difficult audit questions, and passed the level smoothly with amazing tacit understanding and extraordinary vision.

On that day, Sherlock needed to identify fifteen hands, that is, choose one of fifteen hands to find out which hand belonged to Kelsey.

The shapes of those hands are [-]% similar, they wear exactly the same gloves, and they make almost the same gestures.

However, no matter how similar they look, there are always subtle differences in the habit of exerting force when the palms and fingers are stretched out.

In addition, in a quiet environment, the different breathing rhythms of the people behind the curtain can be heard.

Combining the above two points, as long as Sherlock is familiar enough with the other party and has enough observation skills, Sherlock can recognize Kelsey in three seconds.

what?

Ask, when did the two agree to use breathing rhythm as a secret signal?

There is no agreement on trivial matters at all.

Once eye contact and a smile agree, the two have finalized the plan.

There is no need to show off these, who kept the two of them low-key all the time.

It is a pity that Mr. Sam, who is good-tempered and cooperative, seems to be the sea fog of Venice, and he only appears in special performances when he comes here.

When the wind blows away the fog, usually only the cunning Jerry enjoys fighting wits and courage with Tom.

After finishing the investigation of Krell, and telling the truth to the old Mrs. Krell skillfully, Sam and his wife are about to bid farewell to the stage.

A week later, old Mrs. Clare sent a mail to Venice.

It shows that she had a calm conversation with Krell and had accepted her son's marriage choice.

Krell confesses to the broken-arm Venus in the room, symbolizing his awareness of his special penchant.

He also struggled and bought two broken arms, hoping to put together a complete statue, but failed in the end.Although the special hobbies that are incompatible with most people can no longer be changed, but what kind of life attitude can he choose.

Krell will work hard to manage the future with his Venus green dress lady.

At the end of the letter, old Mrs. Clare also extended an invitation.

Krell's wedding will be scheduled for early summer this year, and she very much welcomes the two detectives to the wedding reception.

You don't have to go to the wedding, and you only need to share the commission fee in the end.

Sherlock transferred a portion of the money order to Kelsey, "Mr. Bennet, thank you for your assistance."

"You're being polite." Kelsey accepted the pre-agreed reward.

In fact, she will transfer this sum back to Sherlock soon after, it is the labor fee for going to sea to do coolies.

Now that the investigation of Krell has been completed, the next step is to prepare to excavate the treasure on the island.

It is precisely this time that Kelsey played Mr. Sam, just as a personal favor for Tom; Sherlock was willing to go to sea to do hard work, and he only personally assisted Jerry.

Then why not directly offset two by two?Is it because even brothers have to settle accounts?

It's true, and talking about money doesn't have to hurt feelings.You give me money to earn, and I give you money to spend. It’s not fun to come and go.

Temporarily removing the disguise of Sam and his wife, the two moved into the hotel of Dantès and Father Faria.

During this time, the priest and Dantès were not idle.

Mr. F and his lover, Ms. Sinbad, got close to Angus's family, which runs the sea trade.

The 57-year-old Angus Patriarch Orr married his new wife Julia, 23, a year ago.

Angus and his wife are members of the O Club. Although they have an age difference of more than 30 years, they have never stopped pursuing joy.

The conversation at the club's spring party was very pleasant, and Orr agreed to rent the seaboat under his private name to Mr. F at a friendly price.

Sea ships moored in central Italy, in the port of Civitavecchia near Rome.

It just satisfies Mr. F's romantic desire to take his beloved lover and swim in the Tyrrhenian Sea undisturbed.

This was originally a very difficult thing to do.

Mr. F’s chartering requirements have four points:

For a sea-going ship with excellent performance, it is best to berth along the Tyrrhenian Sea, and not hire the sailors of the owner's family, but have full authority to hire an external helmsman.

In addition, the time must be fast, and it is best to get it done within half a month.

Unless there are acquaintances, it is difficult to borrow a sea boat that meets the four conditions.

That's not borrowing a can of butter from the neighbor next door. The lender has to consider whether the borrower will simply take the expensive boat away.

"Mr. Angus is willing to lend the ship because he thinks he is a fellow with me."

In a leisurely tone, Father Faria recounted the journey by boat.He and Dantès acted as lovers with an age difference of twenty or thirty, which happened to be similar to the situation of the Angus couple, and they both went to the O Club and had special hobbies.

Dantès concluded, "Mr. Angus likes romantic things and speaks highly of vacations at sea. Starry sky, sea, couples, seafood, he took the initiative to share his travel experience, hoping to provide reference for the priest and me."

But Kelsey and Sherlock knew that the so-called vacation itinerary did not exist.This trip to sea has nothing to do with romance, but is full of money.

"When to set off?"

Kelsey looked at Priest Faria and Dantès who were dressed in gowns. There were two delicate masks on the table. The two had just returned from Mrs. Angus Julia's birthday party.

Father Faria handed the signed lease documents to Kelsey, "The agreement has been signed today. To avoid long nights and dreams, we will set off early tomorrow morning. Mr. Angus will send a telegram to Rome, and we can pick up the ship directly when we arrive in Rome .”

Everything went very well.

From now on, Sherlock and Kelsey just have to pretend to be employees.

The four of them went south from Venice together, and with faster land transportation, they could reach the port of Civitavecchia in at most two or three days.

Say good night to each other, just wait for the sun to rise tomorrow.

The sun was bound to rise as usual, and the four of them ate their breakfast quietly again.

However, just before the four of them were about to check out and leave, Asha, the maid of the Angus family, came to the door suddenly and brought a bad news.

—Ol Angus died at home at midnight yesterday!

From late night until early morning, a great quarrel broke out in the Angus house.

Angus' two sons, Henry and Beavis, held their stepmother largely responsible for their father's death.

For the four who urgently need to go to sea, thorny problems came.

Orr had already made a will, donating his private seaboat and some of his jewelry to his new wife, Julia.Now his two sons do not agree with the original will distribution.

Henry and Beavis think the stepmother doesn't love their father at all.There is a age difference of more than 30 years between the two, and Julia just took a fancy to Orr's money.

As long as Orr is dead, young Julia can live happily ever after with an inheritance.

The brothers insisted that Julia was suspected of murdering her father, and instead of letting Julia take away a copper coin, they wanted to send her to prison.

Facing gruesome murder charges, Julia is straight up vilified.Her older stepson had been unkind to her.

Henry and Beavis have always resented their father for taking another bride.

Now, taking advantage of his father's death, he immediately put the blame on the stepmother's head, in order to encroach on the legal inheritance that the stepmother deserves.

The two sides competed against each other all night.

When the sun rises, everyone is looking for a helper, and it is impossible to make Orr's death a good one.

"Mrs. Julia is alone and weak, so I can only beg Mr. F for your help. Please, for the sake of being friends with the old master, try to restore the real cause of the old master's death, and also restore Madam's innocence."

Asha, the maid, begged Father Faria and brought Julia's promise.

"Madame guarantees that she is innocent. She is willing to hand over the ship to you immediately after inheriting the ship. You will not be charged a cent for rent, and you can use it as you like for two years."

Father Faria sighed.

Now, only by finding out the cause of Orr's death can his estate be handled smoothly and the four people's seaboat charter can continue.Alternatively, you can find another person to borrow the boat, but that will take another effort.

In this case, Mr. F took his lover Sinbad to the Angus mansion to mourn the old Angus.

Asha, the maid, did not go on the same journey, and Julia asked her to do other things.

Kelsey and Sherlock went to the Angus mansion together.It is used to explain that the detective went with his friend Mr. F when he heard about the death case.

Father Faria and Dantès didn't mind taking them with them, but they hoped to find out the truth of the matter as soon as possible.

However, they all secretly thought that their luck was bad.Obviously everything has been arranged properly, but just as they are about to set off, they encounter the death of the captain.

On another gondola boat, Kelsey and Sherlock had the same expressions.

Did Orr Angus' death have anything to do with them?It must be unrelated, and they are not murderers.

No, be more rigorous.

It is still unknown whether Orr committed suicide, committed suicide, or died of illness before the autopsy.

Therefore, Kelsey and Sherlock can justly say that the god of death took Orr's life, and they have nothing to do with half a copper coin.

It's just that the two of them felt that half of their boots had landed on the ground.

——Come on, the death event is still coming.That kid Cupid couldn't hold the God of Death all the time, but let the God of Death go to work normally.

"Bang!" "Bang——"

When the four of them went to Angus' mansion, the scene was already tense.

On one side are Henry and Beavis, and on the other side is Julia.Both parties have hired helpers, and they are both quite important figures in the Venice business circle.

The Angus brothers called friends who had business contacts, and Julia was not alone.She's clearly popular, and has wooed Orr's old friend and his partner for a boost.

Three police detectives came from the police station, sandwiched between two groups of people.

Persuasion is impossible.The scene is no longer just scolding each other, but has escalated to smashing vases with hands and flipping tables and chairs. Fortunately, it did not rise to physical conflict.

"You want to put me in jail and take away Orr's inheritance."

Julia's face was livid with anger, and she suppressed her grievances in front of others without crying, and directly reprimanded Henry and Bivis. "I want a thorough investigation into the cause of Orr's death, so you can say whether you dare! If you suspect me of murder, I also suspect that you poisoned him!"

Henry squinted at Julia, he really didn't expect the young stepmother to be quite capable.

Even though she is only from a small staff family in France, she has been married to Venice for a year, and she can still call in some support and helpers.

"Check it out!"

Bivis glared at Julia fiercely, "But how can the person you hired reassure us? What if they give you false testimony?"

Julia immediately retorted at her stepson, "Wow! Is it possible to use someone you hired? Don't mention the police department to me. I know that the newly appointed Director Lean has a lot of connections with you. .

If today's three detectives investigate impartially and turn up evidence against you, they've done their job. "

The main hall of Angus Mansion.

The two sides fought fiercely and refused to give an inch.

Finally, a middle-aged man with half-white hair, Fermat, slammed the table and shouted loudly:

"Okay, stop arguing. Al's body is still in the bedroom. He absolutely does not want his wife to turn against his son. As Al's cousin, I think I can still give some advice!"

Fermat put on a straight face, "You all agree to thoroughly investigate the cause of Orr's death, and if you want to find a detective who can investigate the case impartially, I suggest that you better find KS.

Those two were not only well-known for funding the team to do research, such as the three-country exchange poison murder case, the Paris underground blood sacrifice case, and the orphanage murder case in late autumn last year, etc., their crime-solving skills were also well-known.If they were handed over to investigate, the cause of Orr's death would surely be found out soon. "

As soon as these words came out, the hall was suddenly quiet.

soon.The helpers invited by both sides nodded in agreement.But Julia, Bivis, Henry, the three parties did not immediately agree.

Bivis and Brother Henry looked at each other, but they shook their heads without any objection.

Henry said, "Of course I have heard the names of Bennett and Holmes, but they are British. Even if they are successfully contacted, it will take a while to get from England to Venice. Is it possible to make my father's body wait for more than half an hour?" moon?"

"Yes, don't wait too long."

Julia actually agreed with Henry, "I am also very willing to ask those two gentlemen to investigate the truth about Orr's death, but I don't want to keep Orr's body waiting for too long. Those two can't fly here, right?"

At this time, the servant came to report:

"Mr. F. and Ms. Sinbad have come to mourn Mr. Angus. They have brought two friends, Mr. Bennet and Mr. Holmes. Will the four come in now?"

Julia, Bivis, and Henry all jumped in their hearts.

The name of a person, the shadow of a tree.Can anyone really expose the hidden secrets to the sun?

"Quick! Invite people in."

After speaking, Fermat stood up and looked at the three parties who had been arguing just now.

"Great, KS really flew here with wings. Now you can rest assured!"
