Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

If you encounter a bat monster, what kind of state will the corpse take?

Kelsey couldn't give a reference answer.

What she was sure of was that if only human blood was sucked, the corpse would not have the skinny and mutated condition in the movie, it would need to suck up all the fat.

Did Juul lose a lot of blood?

It must be dissected before conclusions can be made.

At the moment, Kelsey performed a preliminary autopsy on Juul.

Judging from the rigor and corpse spots, Juul had been dead for about ten days, corresponding to September [-]th when he disappeared.

Except for the two small holes on the neck where the carotid artery was wounded, there were no other obvious fatal wounds on its body surface.

There was a puddle of dried blood where the body lay on its side.

Compared with the case of carotid artery injury, the amount of bleeding shown is less.

Combining the traces in the hole with the scratches from Juul's clothes, it can be inferred that he had struggled violently.

Who is Juul fighting with?

The small wounds on his face, hands and other exposed parts, the rock walls and ground residues in the cave all point to a possibility.

"Giant vampire bats came here, probably bigger than the fossils show."

Bono found some bat droppings on the ground, several times the size of bat droppings he had seen before. "Look at the top of the cave, and the paw prints they left when they were hung upside down. They are also abnormally large."

About half an hour ago, the four encountered the Kamazotz curse on the stone tablet.

According to myths and rumors, people cursed by Kamazoz will be attacked in the neck first, and will eventually be sucked blood to death.

Just now it was said that the curse on the inscription is just a fairy tale. Even if the fossils of giant vampire bats were unearthed, they are all extinct animals.

In front of him, Zhu Er's death was like a basin of ice water being poured on his head.

Peavy shook his head in disbelief, unwilling to accept the facts before him. "Impossible, how could Jules be bitten to death by Kamazotz!"

"impossible."

Ethel glanced at Jules, then turned away from looking at the corpse. "No kamazotz, no vampire bat monsters."

The two tried their best to deny it, but the corpse lay in front of them.

Is this a beginning, which means that the curse will be fulfilled one by one?

"The geographical location of New Orleans is very close to South America where vampire bats appeared. According to records, incidents of vampire bats attacking humans have occasionally occurred."

Kelsey was also surprised at the bizarre way of Juul's death, but he didn't think he was killed by the bat monster. "Because certain unique environments contribute to the variation in bat size, that is still a phenomenon that can be explained scientifically."

Therefore, please do not speculate that the mythical demon Kamazoz is alive.

What's more, whether the exact cause of Juul's death is as shown in the preliminary examination still needs an autopsy to be further confirmed.

Even if everything looks very much like the fulfillment of a curse, there must be someone behind the so-called curse.

Kelsey has a question about Juul's death.

Assuming Juul was indeed cursed, was he killed by the power of the voodoo doll, or by the cursed pattern on the basement stone?Or is it the combined power of the two?

Or, neither of them had time to make a move.

Jules pure bad luck, bumped into a third-party vampire bat who was hungry in the cave?

Therein lies another doubt.

Jules came to New Orleans to search for inspiration, and entered the Oak Manor despite the threat of the threatening letter.In just four days, he successfully found the basement entrance.

Why didn't this kind of success happen to the prospectors in July?

Those unlucky ones were disturbed by all kinds of evil forces, and instead of getting any real benefits, they left New Orleans injured.

No, Juul was only half as lucky.

Judging from the footprints, after he learned the location of the treasure of the stele, he was killed as soon as he got out of the secret passage.

Kelsey believes that the most lucky award should be awarded to his own group.

Today, a group of four people encountered no danger, walked out smoothly, and found the missing person they were looking for by the way.

Although Juul was dead, dead had been seen, and that was a discovery.

There were not enough clues.

From threatening letters to underground monuments, the New Orleans case is tinged with paradoxical oddities.

For example, Drew is not afraid of threatening letters in search of inspiration, but he has never touched a paintbrush; for example, Peavy and Ethel have different attitudes before and after facing the curse of the voodoo doll and the bat monster.

Kelsey was sure that among those involved, someone must be hiding something.

Just as it is quiet in the cave now, but it is certain that the four of them have different thoughts.

Bono first broke the silence. He restrained his grief over the death of his friend and mentioned one thing.

"It doesn't matter if it's a curse or a murder. In the beginning, four people received threatening letters. Now that Jules is dead, Mr. Pee Wey and Mr. Ethel are safe on land for the time being. Do you think Mr. Kantan at sea will..."

Will something happen to Kantan on the "Lucky One"?

The question was not finished, but it was already reminiscent of the fifth stele in the basement, which depicted the tragedy of shipwreck in sea storms and monster air raids.

"Transport the body back to the city first."

Kelsey thought that he would need to hire a professional doctor for the autopsy, and he would also need to contact a professional organization for the inspection of the site residues in the cave.In New Orleans, it takes time to find someone and find a place, but the former has a good candidate, Watson is not going to the United States on a cruise ship.

Watson can be called for an autopsy.

Kelsey found a reason to immediately go to sea to find the "Lucky".

September 9, afternoon, 18:15.

According to the latest telegram from Dantès, the rescue fleet has been on standby in the Florida peninsula and has been informed of the route of the Lucky One.

Finally wrote: "It is expected that the cruise ship will pass by the side of the British Bermuda tomorrow night and will arrive in the United States on the morning of the 21st."

Bermuda, it was Bermuda!

The "Lucky One" actually took this route.

In her previous life, the Bermuda that Kelsey had heard once represented the sea area of ​​the Devil's Triangle.

For decades, Bermuda has symbolized mystery.

It seems that there are plane crashes and shipwrecks happening from time to time, not only human deaths, but also weird incidents where people are missing from the boat.

In fact, many of the supernatural mysteries about Bermuda circulated in the market were invented by some writers in the middle and late twentieth century.

The dissemination of those books made the rumors more and more bizarre, and they were connected with aliens, underwater bases, space-time tunnels and so on.

There are fixed routes in the real Bermuda waters, and the probability of air and sea disasters is not high.

Insurance claims companies have given no special treatment to that area, which has never been identified as a high-risk sea area, and the nearby Bermuda Islands are also a tourist attraction.

However, Kelsey's heart skipped a beat as he held the telegram.

The fear is that the Devil Delta in the previous life was compiled by a writer.

Because she met more than one character in the story in this life, who can guarantee that the bizarre shipwreck phenomenon fabricated in the book will not happen?At least that probability is much higher than that of a Mayan demon coming into the world.

**

September 9, night, 19:23.

The "Lucky One" is holding the last dance of the sea vacation, which will continue until three o'clock tomorrow morning.

The "Lucky One" sailed into the side of Bermuda an hour ago, and will land in the United States at [-]:[-] am the day after tomorrow.There will be no dance party tomorrow, and the tourists can have a good rest so that they won't be unable to get up when they dock.

Tonight's final dance attracted most of the guests.

The skirts swayed and the dance steps staggered, as if no one was tired, and could spin round and round through midnight.

Despite being in his 40s, Quentin still loves dancing.

I was waiting for a 10-minute break to fight again, but when I was planning to invite the next lady, I was stopped by an uninvited guest.

"Mr. Holmes, since you asked me about the threatening letter at ten o'clock yesterday morning, I have told you all I know!"

Kang Tan suppressed his impatience, the so-called uninvited guest was Sherlock.

How did it happen?

When Kang Tan thought about it, he was still trembling in his heart.

Yesterday morning, breakfast was over.

Kang Tan was approached by Sherlock and frightened him with a question-asked him if he had received a threatening letter.

For Kang Tan, writing a threatening letter with a voodoo doll for revenge was nothing to fear, but what surprised him was how could this matter be known to outsiders?

Sherlock will definitely not explain the reason, only that he has been informed of the existence of several other threatening letters.Please ask Kang Tan to cooperate to answer some questions, and worry that he may encounter accidents on the cruise ship.

Had an accident?

Kang Tan didn't take this remark seriously. He didn't feel any danger at all, but he answered a series of questions cooperatively.

Including giving the original threatening letter, recalling whether there are unknown people around, and whether the luggage will be put into dangerous goods.

A full 37 hours.

For those survey questions that went back and forth, he had already answered them three times, and this time would be the fourth time.

"It is very clear to you that since I got on the ship, I have not felt that anyone has any intention of harming me. You ask several times, and the answer is the same."

Kang Tan was anxious to go to the dance, impatient to talk more with Sherlock.

"I've already said what I remember, and I didn't feel any danger! You don't have to be busy. I just said that even if there is danger in the future, I don't need your help. I appreciate your kindness."

After all, Kang Tan joined the feasting and feasting without looking back.

In the auditorium of the luxury cruise ship, men and women dance lightly, the music is soothing and melodious, and the smell of various perfumes fills the air.

Everything is very pleasant.

There are only two people who are out of place.

Watson looked at Sherlock. Two days had passed since he received the telegram.

Two days, 48 ​​hours.

Among the more than 2000 people on the cruise ship, Sherlock found Kantan who had received the threatening letter.

Unfortunately, the parties failed to provide valuable clues and dismissed the threatening letter.

During the period, he asked Bentley and Darcy to look out several times. Watson followed Sherlock and sneaked into the cargo hold to check whether there were any suspicious materials on board, but found nothing.

Now, there are still 33 hours before the cruise ship docks.

Watson couldn't help asking, "Mr. Holmes, what can be done now has been done. There is indeed nothing wrong with the ship, and you haven't found anyone deliberately targeting Kang Tan.

Perhaps, the punishment mentioned in the threatening letter will not happen at sea.Logically speaking, the warning of approaching the Oak Manor would be triggered only after Kantan's arrival in New Orleans, and only then would there be incidents that threatened his life. "

According to the threatening letter received by Kang Tan, assuming that it will happen, it can indeed be explained logically.

But Sherlock asked, "Quantan's threatening letter can be explained, so what about the warning letter sent to Baker Street?"

Since they are all beliefs, why favor one over another?

Assuming that the former logic will be fulfilled in New Orleans, then the latter logic must happen on board.

"I'll go to the telegraph room first."

Sherlock threw out a sentence, turned around and hurriedly walked out of the auditorium. "Mr. Watson, please find the captain quickly and ask him to summon all the staff immediately."

"what?"

Watson is still puzzled, what can the crew do?Such a large luxury cruise ship, with roughly one or two hundred staff members, how could it be assembled all of a sudden. "Mr. Holmes, you must tell me why."

"Assuming that there is an assailant, he wanted to murder Kang Tan but he never showed his feet. We have checked the people around Kang Tan, and checked the materials consigned by the passengers, and found no danger."

Sherlock spoke very quickly, "Then there is still a possibility that the perpetrator is one or several crew members. The time is too tight, and we have no time to find out whether the crew members are carrying dangerous goods."

Watson understood when he heard this, but his eyes widened in disbelief.

"You mean, the suspect who wanted to murder Kang Tan has never shown up, because he didn't need to show up at all, and he was ready to let everyone die together? This is crazy! The ship sank, didn't the murderer also want to be together die?"

"You've heard of suicide attacks on the battlefield."

Sherlock also thinks this speculation is too crazy, but who can 100% rule out that possibility.

"Assuming there is an attack, the first places to be attacked will be the pilothouse, the telegraph room, and the bottom cabin where the lifeboats are stored. The captain must attach great importance to it. Tonight is the last dance. Maybe the murderer will strike at the highest tide of the dance."

What time is the high/tide of the dance?

Maybe it's when the clock strikes midnight, or maybe it's when the show ends at three in the morning.

God!This is too challenging!

Watson felt that after he made such alarmist remarks, the captain would directly kick him out. How could he convince the other party?

Not in the captain's cabin.

Not in the cab.

Not on deck.

Watson took out his pocket watch. At 23:36, he ran up and down the cabin several times, but failed to find the captain.

"Hey!"

Watson turned sharply and almost ran into the oncoming first mate Ted.

"Oh, Mr. Watson, why are you in such a hurry?"

Ted swayed slightly and drank too much, but fortunately he is not on duty tonight.

"I just met you."

Watson first stopped the first mate Ted, "There is an emergency to discuss with Captain Muller in detail. Do you know where the captain is?"

"Captain Muller? He's in the wheelhouse."

Ted took a special look at the time, "The shift changes at 23:00, and the captain is on duty tonight."

Watson made sure that there was no one in the bridge, and none of the sailors had seen the captain. "I haven't seen him in several places. I'm running out of time. Can I trouble you?"

Ted nodded indifferently, "You say."

Watson threw the thunder that Sherlock threw at him, and hit Ted's head with his backhand.Finally, he said solemnly: "Just in case, please check the situation of the crew immediately."

"Huh? Hiccup!"

Ted's hiccup was startled, and he shook his head vigorously to make sure that Watson in front of him was not hallucinating, so why did he hear the Arabian Nights?

——It is impossible for someone to sink the "Lucky One".

"Mr. Watson, are you drunk?"

Ted couldn't help suspecting that Watson was talking nonsense, "Would you like some sober tea?"

"I didn't drink." Watson knew that no one would believe him, but in fact he had some doubts.

Having said that, he asked Ted to go to the control cabin with him, maybe Sherlock could convince the first mate himself.

Ted went to the front cabin impatiently, cursing from the bottom of his heart.

When he arrived at the wireless telegraph room, he opened the door angrily, and said to Watson, "Look, there are some dangerous elements. I know the crew very well..."

When the door opened, both Ted and Watson were taken aback, as if they had been punched in the chest.

I saw three crew members fell on the ground, and two of them were tied to chairs.

Apparently there's just been a struggle here.

Sherlock was just withdrawing his kidnapper's hand, and he also captured a bomb.

"My God! What's going on here!"

The situation in front of him made Ted completely sober, and he realized that the so-called sinking of the "Lucky" was not a joke.

The two crew members who were tied up, Alec and Lars, were employees of Victor Shipping who had worked for four or five years.

"What the hell is going on with you! Who sent you to attack the cruise ship?"

Ted was trying to figure out the situation, but the two people who were tied up didn't even give him a look.

But listening to Alec laughing wildly, he shouted to Sherlock: "Don't think that everything will be fine if you catch us! Kantan must die, and the "Lucky" must sink. We acted ahead of time. "

what--

Ted is going crazy, who can explain why?

At this time, a loud noise was heard.

"boom!"

The loud noise came from below, causing the supposedly indestructible hull to shake violently.

Sherlock's face was serious, the situation was worse than guessed.

This side caught two crew members who wanted to sabotage the wireless telegraph room, but let their accomplices succeed.

"In order to take revenge on Kang Tan, you are really desperate."

Sherlock no longer looked at the murderer who refused to confess, but only said to the first mate Ted, "Quickly, gather all the crew members, and we must not let the fish slip through the net."

Ted took a deep breath and wiped the sweat from his brow, "Yes, we need to determine the location of the bombing. Don't panic, the possibility of hitting the rocks was taken into account when building the ship, as long as several cabins do not enter at the same time..."

"Pooh!"

Ted shut up in time, and then said confidently, "Even if there is a problem, you can ask for external help. It's just that at this time, where did Captain Mueller go?"

Where is the captain?

Where was the cruise ship bombed?

How many uncontrolled murderers are there on board?

A series of problems fell on the Lucky One like an avalanche.

When the avalanche is overwhelming, the vast majority of people may not be able to realize that death is coming in time.

With the loud noise and the shaking of the ship, everyone dancing in the auditorium was shocked.

Some danced halfway through the dance and almost fell down during the spin, and some spilled food and drinks on the floor, and they didn't know what happened.

People whispered to each other and asked the waiter to ask for clarification.

Darcy supported Elizabeth and held her hand tightly, an ominous premonition welled up in his heart.

This afternoon, when Sherlock came to ask for help, he felt that the rest of the voyage might not be smooth.I thought it was a murder against a few people, but the loud noise and shaking reminded me of a more dangerous situation.

"Mr. Darcy?"

Elizabeth noticed that Darcy's expression was condensed, and she didn't immediately signal Darcy to let go. She also had a bad guess, "Are you worried that this cruise ship will..."

"Find Charles first, and find your father as well."

Darcy shook his head slightly at Elizabeth. The auditorium was noisy at the moment, and some things could not be said here.

We should be grateful for the courage of the reunion on the cruise ship.

These days, Darcy put aside his dislike for certain aspects of the Bennet family and surrendered to his heart.

Elizabeth has long been rooted in his heart, even though he experienced a failed marriage proposal last year, that does not mean the end of the relationship.

During the year away from Longborn, Darcy dreamed of that small village several times.

The person whom he dared not miss during the day appeared in his dream, and he secretly prayed to God for a chance to have a legitimate reason to reconnect with Elizabeth.

This trip to sea is not in Darcy's vacation plan, and his original intention is to relax with Bentley.

Bentley is also troubled by love.Even if there is an acquaintance in the theater, it is still uncertain whether Jane loves him passionately, because Jane has always been reserved and almost indifferent.

In addition, Bentley failed to deal with the problems Kelsey raised before leaving London.Namely, Caroline does not like the Bennet family at Longbourn.

This made him unable to get the same enthusiastic response from his sweetheart on the one hand, and on the other hand, his sister and friends were not optimistic about this relationship.

Bingley could only stay away from Longborn temporarily, maybe time would dilute his feelings, but he still missed Jane after a year.

Time can't solve lovesickness, it's better to go out for a walk.At this time, he was lucky enough to draw a VIP cabin ticket for a luxury cruise ship.

Before boarding the ship, Bentley prayed to Cupid with little hope.

If he is given another chance to let Jane board the Lucky One, he will definitely pursue Jane with all his strength.

The extremely low probability reunion opportunity actually appeared.

The two lovers did not live up to their rare luck, they confessed their hearts to each other, and spent a few beautiful dances in the past few days.

Who would have thought that extreme joy would lead to sorrow, and that bad luck would come unexpectedly.

Seeing that the luck value reached its peak, both Darcy and Bingley planned to propose to the Bennet sisters tomorrow night.Fortune and misfortune depend on each other, and the bad luck of more than 2000 people facing death threats will be hit on their heads.

At that moment, Bingley held Jane with one hand, brought his younger sister Caroline with him, and joined Darcy and the others on the deck.

The deck was a mess.

People didn't have time to change their dresses and costumes, and they had to escape from the ball in time.

The situation took a sharp turn for the worse within an hour.

After the loud noise, at first the waiters were still reassuring the guests that there was nothing to worry about. It was just that the cruise ship had run aground and the cruise ship would sail as usual. The captain would soon explain how to deal with unexpected problems.

Wait and wait.

Captain Muller did not appear.

The first mate Ted said that the captain had unfortunately been killed, and he could only announce that the itinerary of the "Lucky One" came to an end.

Because the bilge flooded seriously and it was impossible to move on, all the lifeboats were lowered immediately, and the guests on board were asked to disembark and escape in an orderly manner.

But the action must be fast, before the cruise ship sinks and the sea vortex appears, try to row as far as possible.

Orderly and swift.

This is unlikely to occur in a population that has never been trained.

Although the crew tried their best to maintain order, the scene inevitably became chaotic.

In the chaos, people are getting more and more afraid, because the god of death is approaching.

It can be clearly felt that the cabin has begun to tilt. Although the angle is not large, the items on the ship have begun to move to varying degrees.

"I'm sorry, Fitzwilliam, but I'm the one who got you in trouble this time."

Bentley is very guilty that he invited Darcy to come to sea for vacation.

"Don't be sorry, it's my choice."

Darcy glanced at Elizabeth as he spoke, he did not regret coming to the "Lucky One".

At this moment, First Officer Ted rushed onto the deck, bringing another bad news. "Ladies and gentlemen, I have to tell you something. There are not enough lifeboats!"

"what!"

"Not enough, what do you mean!"

"Why not enough!"

This news is like oil in boiling water, directly blowing up the panicked people.

Ted was almost overwhelmed by the roar, and he stood upright. He opened his throat and shouted:

"Two-thirds, this voyage has only prepared lifeboats for 600 people to escape, and there are more than 2000 people on board. Gentlemen, please follow the code of gentlemen and let women and children go first."

"No, isn't there a wireless telegraph?"

"Yeah, why don't you ask for help from land. We can wait for the rescue ship!"

Ted gritted his teeth, he also wanted to contact rescue, but encountered the worst situation.

An hour ago, Sherlock had restrained the assailants who were about to blow up the telegraph room in time.

But when the crew used the telegraph to send a rescue signal to the outside world, there was a buzzing noise.

This shows that telegraph transmission encountered strong interference, which has never been encountered before.

The room leak happened to be raining all night, and it was actually when the cruise ship broke down, and it was impossible to actively contact the outside world.

"Currently the cruise ship cannot get in touch with the outside world. We have encountered an unexplained magnetic field disorder and cannot contact surrounding ships, let alone land radio stations."

Ted tells the truth, which means that one-third of the people on board will die in place.Even the people who got on the lifeboats may not necessarily have enough physical strength to get ashore.

'Om—'

Countless people on the deck were hit in the head.

For a moment, the deck was dead silent.

Three seconds later, there was another uproar.Who will go and who will stay, who will live and who will die, must make a choice in the unexpected autumn night.

"Brother, what are you still doing?!"

Caroline tugged on Bentley's sleeve directly, "Hurry up! It's said that women are given priority, but there are hundreds of men's places. First come, first served, one of them, isn't that too much?"

Bingley nodded, but pulled Caroline's hand from her sleeve and looked at Jane on the other side. "Caroline is right. Hurry up and go first. Wait for me on the lifeboat."

To the lifeboat and wait?

That wait may mean that they will never be able to wait for a living person again.

"Go?" Jane didn't move. She looked at Elizabeth and then at her father, old Bennet. "No, I will give this place to my father."

Darcy was about to let Elizabeth go first, so he met her hesitant and determined eyes.

Elizabeth tried to smile, "If one place is not enough, count me in and let father go first."

Old Bennet couldn't maintain his attitude of being indifferent to everything, and yelled with a black face, "Nonsense! You hurry up! I don't need you to let me go!"

"Father, you must come back to England alive."

At this moment, Elizabeth was extremely calm, and she even understood her mother's resentment for marrying her daughter.

"You don't have a son. If you are gone, what will happen to the mother and three younger sisters? They will be kicked out of the house, and who can they rely on for a living?"

On the deck, some people are greedy for life and afraid of death, and some put others before themselves.

In the cabin, the aisles and the cabins are in a mess, crying, cursing, and roaring are all mixed together, which is the anger and fear of the approaching death.

Only the telegraph room seemed to be the same as ever.

As if nothing happened, the two sat in front of the telegraph.Even though the interference sounds continued to appear, they still insisted on sending signals to the outside world.

The crew all left to accelerate the lowering of the lifeboat.

On the seats were Sherlock and Watson, who took over the heavy responsibility of external communication.

There are also five corpses in the room, the captain who was killed and the murderer who died of poison.

The time advances one hour.

After the loud noise, act separately, catch the remaining culprits to arrest people, and ask the captain to make decisions to find people.

The process is not mentioned, but the result is that the body is found.

The two assailants who detonated the bilge were killed on the spot, while Captain Muller was hit hard on the head.

Muller fell on the way to the bilge, and his body was deliberately placed in a corner so that no one could find it immediately.

The captain was probably the murderer who hit the bomber head-on, and was silenced by them on the spot.

The mutilated body of the murderer who threw the bomb/bomb and the body of Mueller were taken back to the telegraph room, while the two murderers who were tied up in the room died in situ because they had already taken poison in advance.

As a result, the telegraph room was filled with the breath of death, which came from the first five corpses that appeared tonight, but it was unknown how many people would be swallowed by the sea next.

'Zizizizizi——'

The noise kept ringing.

Watson tapped the telegram and insisted on sending out the message, hoping that the signal could be caught by nearby ships.

Although the movements in his hands never stopped, his reason told him that hope was getting slimmer.

A rescue team happened to encounter the Lucky One in the vast sea when it was unable to receive the signal normally. The probability of that was too low.

The probability was so low that Watson could no longer maintain his usual optimism. "Mr. Holmes, do you think there will be a miracle?"

Watson did not expect to hear an affirmative answer at all, and the two men were prepared to die when they stayed in the telegraph room.

Asking more questions is just to say more before the ship sinks, but I'm afraid I won't be able to say it later.

Sherlock rarely gave a negative answer, "Why not? At this moment, I want to believe in miracles."

"Wow, I can't tell you're an optimist."

Watson felt amused, "I thought you only believed in the evidence, but there is currently no evidence to support the speculation that the rescue team will appear."

Sherlock laughed too.

This is not optimism, but an unwillingness to be pessimistic.

Death is near and there is no escape.The countdown to the sinking of the ship began, and he had to hold on to hope, even though he knew that he might not be able to escape sinking into the sea.

His optimism is for the future.When his body is recovered in the future, the medical examiner who performed his autopsy may be able to give Kelsey a detailed report.

—Your Tom died with a smile on his face, so please don't be too sad.

Watson caught a glimpse of Sherlock's smile.

At this moment, how could Sherlock smile so calmly, with a hint of tenderness?

It's dazzled, it must be.

Watson rubbed his temples, and it turned out that he was hallucinating due to the pressure.Looking at Sherlock again, he was obviously concentrating on sending a telegram.

Watson started another topic, "Okay, we have to have hope. Speaking of which, do you have any unfulfilled wishes? I think about it and it seems that there are not, but I haven't experienced the taste of love, what about you?"

Sherlock did not speak, his regret concerned only one person.If you can survive this time, then...

Before Sherlock made a promise in secret, ecstatic shouts burst out from outside the cabin.

"Ahh! Look at the light ahead!"

"It's a boat! It's a rescue boat! We're saved!"

The people on the lifeboat who were paddling hard, and the people on the deck who had not yet evacuated, more than 2000 people burst into thunderous joy.

Who will come to the rescue at this time?

Sherlock only thought of one possibility, and stood up abruptly, it must be Kelsey, who he knew so well.

Autumn night, the vast sea.

On one side was a cruise ship that was about to sink. When everyone didn't know where to go, a search and rescue fleet appeared in people's sight.

Soon, people saw the appearance of the fleet clearly, and even heard the shouts from the opposing ship.

"Passengers of the Lucky One, please, this is the Monte Cristo Search and Rescue Team!Please keep your lifeboats steady, please don't be crowded, the search and rescue ships will approach you. "

This time, Dantès personally led the team and efficiently arranged the rescue progress with his rich experience in sailing.The people on the lifeboat boarded the ship in an orderly manner, while the search and rescue ship full of guests left first.

Time passed minute by minute.

About half an hour before the "Lucky One" sank, the last group of men on the cruise ship evacuated safely.

Sherlock stepped onto the search and rescue boat and just stood still when he looked up and saw Kelsey looking in his direction.

The eyes of the two met in the air.

02:30am.

The clouds are thick and there are no stars tonight.

But Sherlock seemed to see someone wearing starlight, and the starlight was approaching him step by step.

There was a lot of noise all around.

Cheers were heard from all the search and rescue ships, and there were also endless cries of the survivors after the catastrophe.

As the distance from the "Lucky Man" got farther and farther away, people left behind the reserved and alienated past.

Some hug each other and cry, some hug each other, and some kiss each other just to make sure they are still alive.

At this point, Kelsey walked quickly towards Sherlock.

Sherlock also pushed aside the crowd and strode towards Kelsey.

Getting closer, getting closer.

In the dim light, the wind seems to stop somewhere.

The two came to each other.

Sherlock's hands trembled slightly, he tried his best to restrain the desire in his heart, and showed an almost standard gentleman's smile.

"Jerry, my good partner, we haven't seen each other for three years and seven months. Reunited after a long absence, plus the rest of our lives, shouldn't we hug and celebrate?"
