Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

What other bondage position does Sherlock want to use?

"What other postures can be used in the flying knife performance? If you want to innovate, the circus will not accept it. The standard posture is unified, standing in a 'big' character and tied to a wooden target."

Kelsey couldn't be fooled, "Dear Mr. Holmes, strange lines can't hide the fact that you are making dangerous choices."

As a meat target, one has to take the risk of being seriously injured by the sharp blade, and the psychological pressure can be imagined.

But the party that threw the throwing knife may not be so easy, especially the kidnapped person has a close relationship with him.Inadvertently hurting a close friend, the guilt and pain are self-evident.

What's more, the two are not only close friends.

However, the lesser of two evils.

Kelsey wants to leave the 'light' side to Sherlock, "I also want to experience the feeling of being tied up. This time it is a performance under the eyes of everyone. It must be very exciting.

Since I agreed to women's clothing, you should let me choose one too.As for the so-called interest owed to you to save for the next time, the big deal is compound interest. "

"Am I Grandet, just trying to make more profit? No, no, no—"

Sherlock solemnly waved his index finger, "I'm not a greedy person, and I don't need compound interest. As long as I can get what I want this time, enjoy the feeling of being tied up. Mr. Bennet, you don't I fought."

Kelsey smiled, "Wow, why do you say you can't fight if you don't fight?"

Sherlock also smiled, "Then I will tell you a little secret. Do you still remember the underground corpse cave in Paris? At that time, several suspended corpses were found, and the ropes used were very special, which were consistent with the sources that appeared in the dark castle. "

Does this relate to the topic at hand?

There must be a relationship.

Kelsey immediately remembered the classic scene.

Underground corpse cave.

Sherlock did not take into account the presence of Bentley and Darcy.He said then without distraction that Kelsey tied him to the head of the bed with that idiosyncratic rope.

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested, which attracted strange eyes.

"At that time, I silently ridiculed them for their bad eyesight. Except for testing the poison in the dark castle, I will never ask to be tied up in the future?"

Thinking of the past, Sherlock seemed to hear the sound of God slapping him in the face.Oh no!God wouldn't be so violent, death must have slapped him in the face mockingly.

Sherlock was slapped in the face willingly, "Fate is amazing, and I will change my mind if I am determined. Now, I want to experience the feeling of being tied to a wooden board and being treated as a human target by you. Dear Mr. Bennet, you just Can't satisfy my desire?"

Kelsey was unmoved, "What should I do, this time I really want to reject you cruelly and make your desire come to nothing."

Four years ago, who would have thought that there would be today.

The two actually competed to be the one who was tied up.Although under this strange behavior, the essence is to take greater danger.

For a while, the hotel room was so quiet that a pindrop could be heard.

The two confronted each other speechlessly, neither of them was willing to take a step back, they just wanted to keep the danger to themselves.

"Okay, I admit defeat."

Sherlock opened his mouth to break the silence first, but the last sentence retreated, "I'm sorry, I have to confess to you, I am not a brave and fearless person. Kelsey, I am sure I can't throw a throwing knife at you. Just think of that This kind of scene, my hand..."

Sherlock really stretched out his right hand, only to see his fingers trembling involuntarily.

It was an uncontrollable trembling of extreme tension.

If it is unprepared, and now the two are asked to perform on the circus stage with real swords, then this kind of trembling that is trying to restrain but still loses control is [-]% credible.

The above is just a hypothesis, so Sherlock's trembling fingers are his penetrating acting skills.

At this time, Sherlock also spoke earnestly, "Jerry, for the sake of your life, you must not let me throw throwing knives. I can only be a kidnapped person. Please forgive me for disappointing you. I am so timid and afraid of getting into trouble." people."

With that said, Kelsey had no other choice.

It is really unexpected that her Mr. Holmes can act to such an extent, and she even uses three strategies in succession-preemptive strikes, retreating to advance, and showing others to be weak.

"Tom, you win!"

Kelsey said unwillingly, "Let's prepare the experimental props."

Sherlock nodded yes, and didn't say much to irritate Kelsey.

In fact, winning or losing this time is really not something to brag about. It would be a cruel thing for them to perform acrobatics with flying knives.

"At this time, once it is as you predict, it is really cruel. We need to find the omnipotent detectives as soon as possible."

Watson and his comrade Leo got off the train and went to Edwards' detective agency according to the address.

One and a half months ago, Watson started his solo trip to the United States.

This trip is not all aimless, it is to visit several comrades who have been separated for three or four years.

In that battlefield injury, not only one military doctor, Watson, was shot in the camp, but also three other military doctors and five soldiers were seriously injured.

Several people retired together, but scattered all over the place.Some returned to the English countryside to spend the rest of their lives, and some traveled across the ocean to start a new life.

Leo, a former military doctor, now works at a charity hospital in the western United States.

Unlike the wounds caused by bloody conflicts that have to be dealt with at any time on the battlefield, charity hospitals are opened for the poor who cannot afford expensive medicines.

These patients are often unable to adhere to the medication due to poverty, and often disappear halfway through the treatment.

In most cases, Leo would not regard such disappearance as missing.

Even though the medical expenses in charity hospitals are already very low, the biggest problem is poverty, which makes those patients no longer set foot in the hospital.

There are always exceptions.

The battlefield experience gave Leo some keen intuition.It was a pair of eight-year-old twins Peter and his sister who first made him feel that things were different.

Peter has been sick since he was a child, but after losing his parents, he had to work as a child laborer to support himself and his sister.

Peter's sister was born mentally handicapped, and she smelled like fish.That made her unable to live a normal life, and after being squeezed out all the time, she could only hide in a small dilapidated house.

Brother and sister Peter went to Charity Hospital with a bad cold.

As the attending physician of the twins, Leo has a general understanding of them through infrequent contact with the siblings.

The Peter siblings have no other support, so Peter has to make sure he can run and jump, and if he falls, no one will take care of his sister.

For this reason, even if you have to pay for medical expenses, this extra expense will make things worse for the already poor brothers and sisters, but you still have to go to the hospital to control the condition as much as possible.

Leo took pity on the Peter brothers and sisters, and tried to prescribe the cheapest medicine for them while the medicine was still effective.

Last winter, Peter came to the hospital again with a high fever.

In the past, when the situation improved, he would tell Leo to rest assured, but this time Peter, who was supposed to come for a review, did not show up.

Leo didn't wait for the news. On Christmas Eve, he went to look for the Peter brothers and sisters according to the case registration address, but was told that the young siblings had disappeared a week ago.

In the slums, there are people missing every day, and no one has the ability to care for others.

The Peter brothers and sisters just disappeared.

Leo always felt that something was wrong, and it didn't fit Peter's style.Even though Peter was only an eight-year-old child, he was sensible early on and would not leave without saying goodbye.

August this year.

Leo went to a meeting at the branch of the Mercy Hospital in the next state. On the way back, he encountered a disheveled waif with a broken right arm at the train station.

The waif squats in the corner of the station, and people pass by, but a closer look reveals that he is dying.

When he was dying, he used his left hand to carve something on the ground with gravel, but who cares about the little beggar's engraving.

Even though the waif's entire face was ruined by the corrosive liquid, his voice was still hoarse and he couldn't speak, but when their eyes met, Leo keenly recognized that it was Peter who had disappeared.

At that moment, Peter's eyes burst out with an extremely hot light, as if he was finally looking forward to salvation, but the light was quickly extinguished.

Peter is dead.

He also failed to finish the line - "Chicago, mirror, C____"

Leo has no way of knowing what the unfinished C stands for, and what the magic mirror means, let alone what happened to the Peter brothers and sisters.

It is only known that the missing children are not only Peter brothers and sisters.

Because he was concerned about the Peter brothers and sisters, Leo asked colleagues in Charity Hospital and its various branches for news.

At least fifteen children were confirmed to have suddenly disappeared.The children of the missing are all in the slums, living alone without their parents or relatives.

At the end of October, Watson visited Leo's house and heard him mention these things.

Although there is no evidence, Watson agrees with Leo that the missing children are likely abducted.

The perpetrator is a criminal group.

Peter was likely abused, and the lettering he left before his death is a clue.

How to follow the clues to find the truth from the messages with unclear semantics?

Watson immediately thought of his detective friends, and rushed to New York with Leo but was rejected.

Ask Dantès and learn that Kelsey and Sherlock came to Chicago first to visit another detective, Edwards.

Watson asked Leo to take a break, and he went to someone alone to explain the general situation.

Hotel room.

The performance props of the two detectives' throwing knives are ready.

After lunch, rehearsal began while the light was bright.

Clothes must have an impact on the movement of the knife, so the two first changed into the costumes during the performance.

Then, Kelsey tied Sherlock to the wooden board in the shape of 'big', and then did not throw the throwing knife directly.

That's too risky, and Kelsey has to find a hand first.

Take a small brush and dip it in ink, and along Sherlock's body, draw his roughly humanoid outline on the wooden board.

In this way, first practice against the pedestrian target drawn in ink.

When it is determined that the knife is very proficient, it will be practiced with a real person.

"Don't be nervous, I will untie you soon, and I won't stab you today. It is estimated that you will be required to fight tomorrow afternoon, so you can still sleep well at night."

Kelsey wrote while speaking, starting to trace from Sherlock's raised left hand.

The small brush brushed against the clothes.

Start from the left palm, along the arm to the left armpit, and then go down.Draw across the waist, and draw the right half of the body through the legs.

Kelsey's tracing speed is actually very fast.

I didn't say much, as if I was going to finish the painting in one go.

Sherlock was tied to a wooden board, and his senses were magnified several times. He felt that the time was a bit slow every second.

Finally, when Kelsey stood up, her brush passed her right shoulder, top of her head, left shoulder, and was about to go to her left palm.

There are one or two last strokes, which will return to the left palm.

At this time, the two were so close that they breathed and heard each other, and the heartbeat could be heard quietly in the room.

Kelsey suddenly said, "Your heartbeat is a little fast, and it seems that you are still nervous. Why don't we have a relaxing chat. Now I'm changing into women's clothes. Sherlock, do you think it's better for me to wear men's clothes or women's clothes?"

This is called having a light chat?

Sherlock looked at Kelsey who was so close, his heart trembled.

The next moment, he felt itchy in his left palm.I saw Kelsey holding a small brush and drawing a word "J" quickly and smoothly on his palm.

"Oh! It's not my fault, I didn't shake my hands."

Kelsey was confident, "Your hands were shaking, and your palms hit the brush."

This is at least half true.

Kelsey really didn't make a mistake, because she did it on purpose, and returned Sherlock's secret writing in her palm last time.

Sherlock didn't refute, and admitted with a smile that the other half of the remark was incorrect.

Not to mention that he didn't shake his hands, even if he did, he couldn't bump into the brush and hit a "J" by himself.But this small matter, Jerry has the final say.

Don't wait for the two to talk again.

There was a rush of footsteps from far to near, and the door was knocked.

"Is anyone in the room, please? I am John Watson."

Watson gave his name, and he learned from Edwards that the two detectives had moved to a new hotel.The two wanted to keep their identities secret in order to investigate a case in a few days.

At the moment, Watson didn't know how the two detectives would keep their identities secret, and he cooperatively did not call out the names of the two detectives outside the door.

In half a minute, the door was opened from the inside.

The arrival made Watson stunned.

As soon as he entered the door, Watson immediately asked, "Oh, are you Mr. Bennet's sister?"

Kelsey smiled and didn't explain much, just asked: "Mr. Watson, haven't you heard of men disguised as women?"

Watson: What can I say?Is it time to praise Kelsey for her epic performance?

On second thought, Kelsey might be investigating the case.

In this regard, Watson was in admiration besides admiration.Just as he was about to ask where Sherlock was, he walked around the entrance and saw a person tied to a wooden board.

Watson:! ! !

This time, what else can I say?One is dressed as a woman and the other is tied up. What kind of weird case are the detectives trying to investigate? !
