Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

In the afternoon, the sun is silent.

Westminster Abbey, which has witnessed countless lies and truths, is also silent.

Of the two people standing in front of the cathedral, there is no one whose mathematics is not good enough and needs someone to explain in detail what is the Cartesian cardioid formula.

However, love is not only the silence of emotion.

"Since you said it, I am honored to have this opportunity to teach what is "r=a(1-sinθ)". "

Sherlock stared at Kelsey, "That represents a kind of great luck, yes, I am very lucky to meet you. Shelley praised wisdom, please let me use his words to explain the luck of meeting you." Only your brilliance can be like the mist over the mountains. Like the nocturne brought by the wind from the strings of the quiet world, like the moonlight shining on the stream.'”

Kelsey couldn't help but raised the corners of her mouth, feeling the spring breeze on her face, and listening to her Mr. Holmes continue to talk.

"If you think Shelley's poetry is too broad, the choice given by Schopenhauer is very straightforward. He said that people are either vulgar or lonely, but I am honored to have a third option."

Sherlock looked at Kelsey softly, "You appeared in my life and made me complete. If these are not enough images, please let me demonstrate for you live."

As she spoke, Sherlock took Kelsey's left hand, drew a coordinate system on her palm with her index finger, and then traced out the pattern of the Cartesian heart-shaped line formula representing love.

"My love belongs to you and you alone. Dear Kelsey, do you understand now?"

Kelsey looked at the left hand where the heart was drawn.

After two o'clock in the afternoon, it is indeed the hottest time of the day.

Otherwise, the palm is empty and there is no real thing, and there is a layer of gloves, why do you feel the palm of the hand is hot, and even a warm current rushes to the heart.

Kelsey put the easter egg symbolizing eternal spring in her pocket, and poked the egg again with her fingers, but her face didn't show the slightest bit.

She smiled and said to Sherlock, "Thank you for your eloquent teaching, now I understand. "r=a(1-sinθ)", it is very beautiful. "

Sherlock only felt that his hanging heart was half relieved, and he waited expectantly for Kelsey's next sentence.

"Huh? You are looking at me so expectantly, are you waiting for me to talk about my learning experience (whether you accept the confession)?"

Kelsey looked around. The streets were full of people, and it wasn't appropriate for her to respond.

"Dear Sherlock, I suppose you don't want a hasty answer. Give me some time to think, will you?"

No!Hasty or not doesn't matter, as long as the answer is a firm affirmative.

Sherlock thought so, but he could only smile and nod willingly.Dear Kelsey wants to be skinned, and of course he will fully cooperate.

221B Baker Street, six o'clock in the afternoon.

Watson was reading a newspaper on the sofa in the living room when he saw two roommates returning hand in hand.

"You two, I have something to remind you. The wedding invitations on the table have been sent for more than half a month."

Watson was referring to the invitations from Darcy and Bingley, "It was finally confirmed that the two couples would hold their ceremony at the church in Longbourn, and then go to the north for the wedding banquet at Darcy's Pemberley Manor. The church wedding ceremony will be three days later. "

In fact, the wedding of the two couples has a preliminary plan in the United States.

At the end of March, Darcy and Bingley also came to Baker Street in person to invite the three to the wedding banquet.In mid-April, another official invitation was sent.

Having survived the shipwreck of the "Lucky One", they must be regarded as life and death friends. Of course, they hope to share the joy of the wedding with their friends.

As for some thoughts when you were young?

For example, Darcy once swore secretly in the underground corpse cave in Paris that his future wife had better be of the same family and would not come from the Bennet family.Later, no one could escape the price of chasing his wife for his recklessness and ignorance.

There is no need to mention the past.

The two bridegroom-to-be also turned on the selective forgetting mode, ignoring the flaying and flesh-and-blood case they had encountered with the detectives back then, and also ignoring the promise they had made to stay away from the detectives.

Due to the big case triggered by Gunter in April, the two detectives have been busy, and Watson has just completed the autopsy on the bodies of 49 elderly people in nursing homes.

Watson once thought that he would not be able to attend the wedding in time, "In the next few days, the two of you won't be busy, so you don't plan to go to Longbourn, do you?"

Watson thought that Sherlock and Kelsey would not immediately take over a commission immediately after experiencing the Gunter murder.

"That's right, the two of you are going to the church to attend the wedding today, so there is no lack of interest because you think the wedding is boring. So, the two of you will leave on time, am I right?"

"Don't worry, Mr. Watson, you are not alone this time."

Sherlock flipped through the invitations, "I'm leaving tomorrow morning. After all, I'm attending a wedding banquet. It's not good to step on it all the time."

Watson: Huh?Did Sherlock, who is not keen on various parties and banquets, express his opinion first?

Thinking of this, Watson looked at Kelsey, and was greeted with a standard gentlemanly smile.

Is it his illusion?He found that the two detectives came back from the wedding, and there seemed to be a subtle feeling between them?

"Mr. Bennet, you will also be going to Longbourne?"

Watson is not sure if he feels wrong, but he can tell that Kelsey is in a good mood. Could it be that attending a wedding can taint happiness? "Look at you, is something happy happening?"

"Yes, I will go too, let's go together tomorrow."

Kelsey did not hesitate to share why he was very happy, "In the afternoon, I learned some new mathematics knowledge. Mathematics is so beautiful that people can't stop it. Mr. Watson, do you think so?"

Watson smiled awkwardly: Thank you!I don't want to go to math class at all!

Kelsey and Sherlock exchanged a look, and suddenly felt a little pity that Watson couldn't guess what they were talking about at all.

Half an hour later, the reasoning master came.

Mycroft brought a large box of materials and ancient books, which are the results of academic research related to runes.

Gaunt is dead, and the origin of the token and key he hid in the wall lamp is unknown.

Behind the two mysterious objects, there may be core confidential information about Moriarty and his criminal gang. Finding out the origin of the cards and keys has become a must-answer question.

A few days ago, the two detectives asked experts to interpret the rune meanings of the token and key, which were 'magic lasts forever' and 'elderberry fourteen'.

This alone cannot locate the source of the item at all.Before there is no better way to search, they have to turn to ancient books for help.

Perhaps the relevant content is mentioned in a certain book, but relying on other experts alone cannot accurately locate it, and maybe a certain paragraph of important information has been missed.

Kelsey and Sherlock must study and learn the rune script and its related culture, so as not to let it slip away when the clue appears.

Mycroft pointed to the box, "These are part of it."

Where would Gunter hide the last-hand information, i.e., where did the tokens come from?

Is it London?England?Dependencies of the British Empire?Nordic?Elsewhere in Europe?or further?

The answer is hard to pin down, but not without a clue.

"Nowadays London brings together people from all over the world, and it's not uncommon for an underground organization to exist as indicated by the token."

Although Mycroft has real-time information on all sides, he is not proud to think that he knows everything.

At present, he can only be sure of one thing: "The token organization should not be in London. Gunter must take into account that the M Group has a lot of influence in London, which made him give up the idea of ​​hiding in London."

Is there any basis for this?

Kelsey and Sherlock can give the latest evidence.

Moriarty must be well-informed, so he would know the situation of the gangs in the East End, so as to make Gunter die at the scene of the Rush just right.

In this way, Gunter would not necessarily risk hiding his hole cards in London, and the token organization would be elsewhere.

Sherlock speculated, "The next two suspicious locations are Newcastle, where Ms. Patience, Gunter's grandmother, has lived for decades.

But similar to the risk in London, Newcastle was once the seat of the university where Moriarty coached, and he must be very familiar with it.In order to avoid Moriarty, Gunter also mostly did not choose Newcastle. "

"In this way, there is only one place with the greatest possibility."

Kelsey announced the name of the city, "It's York in the northeast of England."

York, which records more English history than London, dates back to the first century.

For the secrets hidden by Gunter, there is no need to go back to more than 800 years ago.

Let's look at the ninth century AD, when the Vikings from Northern Europe came across the sea.

Occupy the northeast of England at a rapid speed, and establish the capital named York.For a full century thereafter, the place was ruled by Viking kings.

These have gone away for 1000 years, but the token appeared, and the runic script engraved on it was one of the scripts used by the Vikings.

And Gunter's grandmother is from Sweden, a Nordic country that used to be the home of the Vikings.

Is it a coincidence?

Or some ancient organizations have been secretly passed down, and the passage of time has greatly changed and transformed it, but there are always some remnants.

"You two, I agree with you."

Mycroft finally set his sights on the city of York, "When a city has a long enough history, it will leave many legends. There are many supernatural rumors in York, which also makes it known as a land of magic."

This corresponds to the 'magic eternity' written by the token.

And the elder bone engraved on the key is something related to the soul in European mysticism.

Therefore, Mycroft found information related to the rumors of runes, Vikings, and magic and ghosts that happened in York.

He suggested that the two detectives should go to York themselves, and that the field visit might be a bonus. "I've only looked around, and I will collect more later. I hope that the investigation of the two can be helpful, and the two of you may wish to read while walking."

Mycroft obviously knew the itinerary of the two detectives. There are a lot of people getting married this year. He seemed to mention it unintentionally:

"Sherlock, since you're going to York City, you should be able to drop by your way home to see your mother and say hello to her for me."

Mycroft: Dear brother, can you bring your Jerry home? I don't need my help in this matter!

"Okay, I will convey your thoughts to my mother."

Sherlock smiled and nodded, he knew what his worrying brother was thinking.Is it because he is afraid that there will be another accident this Christmas, and he and Kelsey will not be able to go to Sherlock Holmes' old house smoothly.

Kelsey smiled as she listened to the friendly conversation between the two brothers.Perhaps, she is going to meet old Mrs. Holmes in advance?

In the living room, only Watson was the most relaxed.

Watson stared intently at the teacup on the table, he didn't want to see the pile of books.Fortunately, he was not asked to study these materials, but suddenly thought of one thing.

Counting the itinerary, this time I went to Longborn first, and then went north to Pemberley Manor with the newcomers and the Bennet family.Doesn't that mean that this big box has to be taken on the road?

No wonder Sherlock proposed to start early, because he had already calculated the weight of the carriage and could not travel quickly.

Next day, 08:30.

After breakfast, start to move, load your luggage and prepare to go to Longborn.

There are two carriages in total.

The front one carries people, and the rear one carries goods.

The three of them were about to board the car and set off when Watson heard the voice of the postman that his parcel had arrived.

The two detectives got into the carriage first and waited for Watson to put the package in place.

"Well, this scene reminds me of a trip to the Alps."

Sherlock recalled the first meeting of the three a few years ago, "At the pier in Paris, we were also waiting in the carriage for Watson who came late."

"You can't express your sigh in front of Watson."

Kelsey laughed, "So far, he still doesn't know the true identity of the gold-rimmed glasses and beard."

Want to confess?

They will not take the initiative to confess, but if Watson guesses, the two will admit it generously.

At the moment, listening to the movement outside the carriage, Watson's footsteps could be heard approaching through the curtain of the carriage.

At this time, Kelsey suddenly showed a gentle smile to Sherlock:

"Dear Mr. Holmes, give me some time to think about what I said yesterday, and I will think about what kind of answer I should give you. After a night, I have made up my mind. Please remember my answer."

what?

Before Sherlock had time to react, Kelsey, who was seated opposite, suddenly got up and approached him.

Then, time seemed to stand still.

Sherlock's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a gentle kiss from Kelsey just a few millimeters from the corner of his mouth.Before he could move, the person who suddenly stole the kiss sat back in his original position solemnly.

"Kelsey, you..."

Sherlock wanted to stretch out his hand to circle him, but the next moment Watson lifted the curtain of the car.

The carriage is very quiet.

Watson met Sherlock's extremely sharp eyes directly, why did he look at him like that?What happened, what did he do wrong?

Watson didn't know it, and he also looked at Sherlock.

Huh?Is it because the weather is hot in May and the cabin is not well ventilated and a bit stuffy?Why did he feel that Mr. Holmes' ears were a little red?
