Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

The four people downstairs are already seated.

Kelsey can be sure that Miss Bingley, who has not yet appeared, has been aggrieved for a long time.However, since Bingley came to ask for help in person yesterday, she was good-natured and didn't care too much.

According to preliminary observations yesterday, the young wealthy businessman of the Bingley family, with an annual income of four to five thousand pounds, is not as arrogant as most wealthy people in London, but he is easy-going and often hesitant when dealing with things.

Looking at the state of getting along between Bentley and Darcy today, it can be seen from Bentley's slight inclination of the body unconsciously that it is very likely that he will ask Darcy for advice after something happens.

It is [-]% possible that Bentley has sought and accepted Darcy's opinion on the issue of thanks for publishing in the newspaper.

None of that matters.

Kelsey smiled at Bingley, "Today's newspaper reassures me that it is a pleasure to know Mr. Bingley. Your thanks to the unknown bearded Mr. is exactly what London needs most.

We respect every hero who never flinches in the face of danger, even if they do not have a noble status, they already have a noble soul. "

This compliment was very high-sounding, and since Bingley had fulfilled her request, she would not hold on to it.

"Nietzsche said that when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss gazes into you again. And vice versa, when we respect nobility, nobility will come to us. May the Bentley family be with nobility."

Bentley was a little embarrassed to be praised.

Thinking of Caroline screaming and refusing to thank him the day before yesterday, he was unable to decisively decide to express his gratitude in the newspaper.I still asked Darcy for his opinion, and was reminded of two reasons why he must be published in the newspaper.

The first point is very simple. Saying thank you after being saved is a basic upbringing.

The second point is very realistic. As long as the Bentley family still pays attention to their reputation, they cannot be caught and bite back at the savior.

Not many people heard Caroline's testimony on Kings Street clearly, but that was no secret.

If it is used by someone with a heart to attack the Bentley family, the damage to the reputation will affect the Bentley family's property, not to mention the ridicule Caroline will receive.

After hearing this, Bingley decided to report and thank him immediately, but he did not have the purity that Kelsey praised.

In the past, London was always full of flattering words, but now Kelsey's solemn praise made him feel ashamed and happy as if facing the most respected priest.

Lestrade drank his tea in silence, not surprised.The devil bewitches people's minds, it's just a daily operation.

Darcy also remained silent and didn't say much. Perhaps it was better that Bentley didn't understand another passage of Nietzsche.

"In fact, people are the same as trees. The more they yearn for the sunshine in the high places, the more their roots will reach to the dark ground."

When Caroline went downstairs, she saw Bingley having a good conversation with someone.

She took a deep breath, raised her jaw, and walked slowly to the living room.The breath he was holding back was choked in his throat the moment he saw Kelsey.

Oh, God!There are no devils, only angels.

Merciful Lord, forgive her bluff, and forgive her for hurling insults at this gentleman whom she has never met.

If Kelsey had been known to be extraordinary, he would never be an ordinary person.How could she suspect that she was malicious and deliberately made a trick to publish the report to make herself embarrassed.

Kelsey looked about her age, maybe a year or two younger, and although she didn't meet the criteria for a woman to choose an older husband, she would definitely be an excellent marriage partner in the future.

Caroline restrained her thoughts, no matter how charming other people were, her ideal marriage partner was only Mr. Darcy.

She returned to her usual manner and grace, no matter what, she didn't want to be rude in front of fine gentlemen.

Seeing Caroline's relaxed expression, Bingley heaved a sigh of relief, and introduced Kelsey and his sister with a smile.

Kelsey exchanged pleasantries calmly, only not noticing Caroline's hasty change of attitude.

Bacon mentioned in "On Habit", pay attention to your character, it will become your destiny.Obviously, Miss Bingley didn't learn her lesson from the news, and she did realize that her nature is hard to change.

Kelsey doesn't care about Caroline's fate, and never expects everyone to admit their shortcomings and make up for their shortcomings.

She just wanted to deal with the case, filed last Saturday. "Come today to inquire about some details. After the robbery, the robbers fled without encountering too many obstacles. There is reason to suspect that it was a premeditated crime.

Can Miss Bingley tell you, is your visit to Harry's Cake Shop a temporary idea, or is it a pre-arranged arrangement? "

As soon as he asked, Kelsey had an answer.

Combined with what happened before, when Caroline looked at Darcy, it was enough to show that she went to the cake shop to queue up because of jodopamine.

Perhaps it should be expressed in another way, for love.And perhaps digging even deeper, is the love of Darcy and all that he has.

It was impossible for Caroline to admit that she had gone to Kings Street to create a chance encounter with Darcy.

"It was a temporary idea, and I wanted to try the highly praised Harry's Chocolate Cake. I heard from my friends that it tastes like happiness, and I also want to experience this beauty."

Kelsey nodded slightly, not caring whether Caroline made friends out of nothing, let alone whether she knew how to taste good. "It is determined that it is a temporary trip, and the possibility of fugitive criminals deliberately provoking Bentley's house is basically ruled out."

According to what is known so far, the shop of Benjamin's family was not open to the public before the incident.

The 33-year-old Benjamin and his 12-year-old son Bill went to the manor on the outskirts of the city early in the morning.Measuring a client's head circumference and negotiating to order patterns for new hats for the social season.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the father and son had just returned to the store on Lavender Street, and they were doing a little tidying up, ready to operate until dinner time.

Ten minutes later, before the door of the hat shop was wide open, two robbers entered the shop.

Not much nonsense, a person hijacked Bill, let's call him Robber A, and he threatened Benjamin to hand over all the cash.

Benjamin was afraid that his son would be injured, so he didn't dare to call for help, so he immediately handed over all his belongings.

Robber B picks up the purse.

At the same time, Robber A tied up Bill, gagged him, and knocked him unconscious.

Robber A threatened Benjamin, asking him to give the two of them a ride and release them somewhere, otherwise he would kill Bill on the spot.Of course, if Benjamin is dishonest, their people will kill him later.

Benjamin had no choice but to agree to drive for the two robbers when the knife was pressed against his lower back.

After that, he was frightened and had to go on a rampage, and almost got into a car accident on Kings Street.

During this time, customers who went to Benjamin's store found Bill unconscious.Unable to wake him up, he reported the incident to the patrolling police in a hurry.

Afterwards, Lestrade, Gregson and other parties tracked the carriage, but they were still successfully absconded by the robbers.

Above, this robbery can be regarded as a lightning crime.

The two robbers obviously went well prepared, found out the situation of Benjamin's shop, and had a better understanding of the road conditions around Euston on Saturday afternoon.

In the initial case, the possibility of the robber killing two birds with one stone cannot be ruled out directly.

Maybe they had planned the robbery first and the Bentley accident later.The reason could be to collect money to make trouble, or it could be that there was a grudge in the first place.

"Deliberately provoked?"

Bentley shook his head, "The possibility is very low. Fitzwilliam and I also decided at noon that day to go to Kings Street in three hours."

In this case, no matter what the purpose of Caroline's trip was, the three decided to go to Kings Street temporarily.Now it can be ruled out that the robbers provoked the Bingley's house in a planned way.

Kelsey nodded slightly to Lestrade. In this way, it was another situation analyzed before.

The robbers chose Jinsi Street as the turning point, because they took a fancy to the excitement of Harry's Bakery on Saturday.

They understand the road conditions and drive to create panic and confusion among the crowd in order to escape better.After making a turn at the T-junction, he ran into the streets and alleys, and quickly resorted to a trick of Jin Chao to escape his shell.

Leaving behind the carriage borrowed from the hat shop and Benjamin who was tied up and unconscious, the two robbers escaped.

Lestrade double-checked the travel trajectories of Bentley and Caroline last Saturday, as well as whether their servants had any abnormalities recently.

Then he bid farewell and led the way for Kelsey, and the two wanted to explore the Benjamin's hat shop on Lavender Street again.

Several people separated at the intersection.

Darcy, who has been silent all the time, said before boarding the carriage, "Come to me if you need it, and make sure to catch the robber as soon as possible."

"Good. Thank you, Mr. Darcy, for your willingness to help."

Kelsey nodded, and Darcy expressed his willingness to use his contacts in London as much as possible.In a sense, this person is cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

Need Darcy for help?

There is no conclusion yet. The most basic thing is to determine the general physical signs of the two robbers.

Lestrade asked Benjamin many times about this key point, but he still hasn't come to an accurate conclusion.

Lavender Street Boutique Hat Shop

Before knocking on the door, Lestrade hesitated, "When the victim encounters sudden danger, it is very likely that he will not remember the crime scene afterwards. Mr. Bennet, you must be prepared to return without success. To Benjamin Father and son, I really have nothing more to do."

Kelsey wouldn't boast of being 100 percent sure.Questioning requires skills, and the investigator's tone, demeanor, etc. will affect the person being questioned.She only looked at Lestrade jokingly, "Inspector, we are different. Maybe you are too serious and not friendly enough."

Lestrade: Hell, it's not good enough, it's not demagogic enough!

after an hour.

Lestrade looked at the three people in the room expressionlessly, and witnessed the changes in the expressions of Benjamin and his son.

In the five days since the incident, he has come here more than ten times to inquire about the case.

Each time, Benjamin and Bill recalled sadly, but they couldn't tell any more valuable clues.

Today, Kelsey sat down for less than 10 minutes, and the three of them chatted casually about hat making, so wild that they were completely out of the case.

Benjamin and his son quickly swept away their uneasiness, their stiff bodies relaxed, and they looked at Kelsey with confidence and peace of mind.

It was the second time in just one day that Lestrade saw similar expressions. The father and son faced Kelsey as if they were facing a priest, and to put it more exaggeratedly, it was like facing an angel descending from the world.

Unknowingly, Benjamin and his son talked about a lot of trivial details under Kelsey's persuasive guidance.For example, the height and position of kidnapper A, such as why the kidnappers did not arouse alarm when they entered the store.

I saw Kelsey connecting all the clues together, and there were already several portraits in the sketchbook.

"hiss--"

Benjamin gasped and nodded frequently at the portrait. "Yes! He was the one who hijacked me with a knife."

Lestrade took a closer look and saw the reappearance of the scene of the robber entering the store, and the frontal portrait of robber A.He worked hard for five days without results, but the devil succeeded in one hour.Does this world still make sense?
