Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

1903, April [-]st.

Although today is April Fool's Day, London seems to be cooler than before.

Because the two detectives at 221B Baker Street have officially retired.

The vast majority of people don't know where Mr. Holmes and Mr. Bennet have gone. They can only learn one or two pieces of news from the afterword of the latest "KS Detective Collection" published last month.

Watson wrote in the epilogue that the two detectives have carried out criminal investigation work with London as their headquarters for nearly 30 years, and they finally want to say goodbye to everyone.

Mr. Holmes decided to retire before the age of 50, and Mr. Bennet also planned to live a secluded pastoral life. The two will no longer be active in the front line of criminal investigation.

What? Is Retirement Before 50 Too Early?

The retention and reluctance of the readers, the two detectives can no longer hear, they have left London last month.

In the future, the two may occasionally help each other when major cases happen, but they will no longer be like the past, as if God sent justice messengers to the world.Wherever there is crime, there are two figures who will bring the murderer to justice.

When it comes to crime, one person has to be mentioned.

It is James Moriarty, or Professor M for short, who has been dead for nearly 23 years.Moriarty has changed many identities, most commonly known as the mysterious man S within his criminal group, and also pretends to be a university professor Moses.

Although the man who combined S and M has been dead for more than 20 years, it took several years for the huge criminal network he created to be completely uprooted.

The stronghold and distribution of members of the criminal kingdom cover nearly half of the world, including America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

The detection process of related cases has not been made public until recent years.

Watson selected some cases for adaptation, and wrote the thrilling or thrilling detection process into detective stories.

Most of them are Kelsey and Sherlock as the protagonists, and they also assist other detectives to solve the case together, among which the uncanny valley case in the United States is the most.

That was the shocking case of the mining industry in Pennsylvania in 1882.

Detective Edwards undercovered the [-] Branch. After three years of latent investigation, he collected sufficient evidence that the [-] Branch burned, killed and looted.

The [-] Branch uses the Vermissa Valley as its stronghold and controls nearly half of the miners in Pennsylvania. Anyone who disobeys its orders will only end up being killed.This organization turned the Vermissa Valley area into a valley of terror, and the ultimate goal is to plunder wealth and seize the huge profits brought by the mines.

Its leader was seduced and controlled by Moriarty in his early years, and he believed in Mammon, one of the seven deadly sins, and started illegal criminal activities such as robbery, murder and robbery.

Through the support of Kelsey and Sherlock, the evidence of Edwards' undercover success was submitted to the Pennsylvania government, and then a joint round-up operation was successfully launched.

At present, the court trial has not received any interference from the remnants of the criminal forces of the M Group, and the main criminals have been sentenced to death in accordance with the law.

After the case was solved, Edwards chose to get married and retire, many years earlier than his two colleagues.

Watson did not detail everyone's future in the book.

What is certain is that without Moriarty and his criminal kingdom, the life safety factor of the general public has risen significantly.

After this year, the collection of detective cases written by Watson will be published one after another, publishing cases that were previously inconvenient to disclose but can now be declassified.

Over the years, Watson also once resigned as a detective assistant. At that time, he married Morstan and went to a clinic to work as a doctor. However, something was missing from his overly stable life.

Although Watson knew very well that working and living with detectives, he had to face being hit by secrets and emergencies from time to time, and he had to bear the pressure of not knowing the truth to outsiders, but he soon chose to return to the 221B.

Especially after his wife Morstein died of a heart attack more than ten years ago, Watson returned to the state where he devoted himself to investigating cases when he was young.

To this day, Watson has decided to remarry another woman, this time leaving 221B Baker Street entirely.Since the two detectives would no longer be a constant presence in London, he no longer remained alone in Baker Street.

Watson already had a rough plan for life in middle age and old age.

It was decided that while completing the detective story collection, it would be possible to rewrite the old pseudonym "The Sharpshooter Who Loves Roses".

Here I have to mention two old friends, "Apep" and "Chocolate Cake", who published their last thriller ten years ago, and there has been no news since then.

Of the Big Three in the thriller world, only Watson is left.

Watson recalled that the dangerous past that happened in the dark castle in the Alps was like a dream.

Later, he never saw the two old friends again, and the old friends never even attended the performance of "The Dark Castle", and entrusted Kelsey and Sherlock with matters such as the adaptation of the novel.Later, the detectives also cut off contact with those two.

At a certain moment, Watson also had doubts, could the two old friends be the disguised roles of the detectives?

However, that speculation was denied.How could it be such a coincidence, could it be that the duo who appeared next to him were two detectives from 221B?For example, when investigating the case of the Egyptian Museum in Turin, he also met a pair of teachers and students from the United States. Could it be that they are also a detective duo?

No, don't be so suspicious.

Watson attributes this to "post-detection paranoia," a psychological shadow he created and possibly unique to himself.Who let the two detectives bring him too much 'surprise', which made him intermittently suspicious.

What are some examples of 'surprises'?

Watson did not mention Kelsey's disguise as a man, nor did he go to the secret wedding ceremony of the two detectives, but said that the detectives did not return to London immediately after the planned three-year manhunt.

Sherlock and Kelsey returned after a two-year delay, and with them their twin boys.

One surnamed Holmes, the other surnamed Bennet, the name is said to have been taken by Mycroft, Joyce Holmes and Trevino Bennet.

The reason why Mycroft decided on the name is very simple.

Had the decision been made a little later, there is a good chance that the two children would have been inadvertently named Jerry Holmes and Tom Bennet.

Both detectives categorically denied the claim.Tom and Jerry are the mutual pet names of the two, and it was never intended to pass on this name to their children.

However, Mycroft's name is also very good, covering the initials of T&J, which is an implicit coincidence with Tom and Jerry.

If Watson's power of association was richer, he would have thought of the American teacher and student Terrence and Joe he had encountered, and their names were also T&J.At that time, the two detectives pretended to be teachers and students, and the false identities of the two were handled by Mycroft.

Regrettably, the similar naming method did not arouse Watson's vigilance, so that he has not been able to crack the secret for decades.

South of England, KS Manor

The bushes were dotted with bluebells, and the glens were dotted with primroses.

The gorse is thorny and weaves golden wings, and the hawthorn tree hangs down with creamy white buds.

The spring breeze blows, and the bees dance lightly.

It is far away from the hustle and bustle of the metropolis and the endless bloody crimes.

Kelsey had just read a letter from the other side of the ocean, a letter from the twin brother who told her he was safe.

The two are freshmen in college this year and did not stay in Europe to study.

A gourmet who wants to become a foodie without getting fat went to the East, and a fantasy novelist who wanted to go to the United States.

It is no pity that the children are not interested in the detectives. Everyone has the right to choose their own path.

Kelsey knows that the development of criminal investigation does not rely on the inheritance of one or two individuals, and the establishment of professional department education in universities is the first step.

In recent years, she has been working hard on this.Not only to organize and plan people of insight to set up criminal investigation in some universities, but more importantly, to compile corresponding teaching books.

Retirement life in seclusion in the countryside, no longer running around various crime scenes.

In addition to viewing flowers and birds and enjoying the natural scenery, I mainly devote my energy to the compilation of professional series of books.

Kelsey also left some small suspense.

She has not announced her real gender so far, but she will reveal one or two things in the writing of the book, so that future generations can associate or speculate on their own.

"Jerry, please do me a favor."

Sherlock's voice came from the lawn outside.

Kelsey looked out the window and saw Shero Oak in a bulky bee-sting suit, pointing to his left ear.

What's going on here?

Kelsey guessed a possibility. Sherlock, who is good at solving crimes, is a novice in beekeeping. He may have been stung.

I asked an experienced beekeeper for advice before, even though I did a lot of preparation work, but the old beekeeper said that being stung in the early stage of beekeeping is inevitable.

The bees that collect nectar are very poisonous. As long as you get used to their lifestyle, the probability of being stung will be greatly reduced after you become proficient in beekeeping.

Sure enough, the novice Sherlock was stung.

Even though he was fully armed, he took off his headgear prematurely after leaving the beekeeping area. Who would want to be stung by a single bee on his left earlobe.

Kelsey patiently cleaned the wound for Sherlock, took out the bee tail needle with tweezers, cleaned it with soap and water, and applied a special ointment.

After the treatment was over, seeing Sherlock's swollen left earlobe was a circle larger than the normal right earlobe, the sharp contrast between one big and one small made people couldn't help laughing out loud.

Kelsey quickly restrained her smile, and reminded Sherlock in a serious and unkind way: "Tom, this may be just the beginning. When you choose beekeeping, you also choose the risk of being stung."

Sherlock smiled, "Yes, this is a choice I made voluntarily. Beekeeping is very interesting, and I am prepared for the initial sting. Besides, there are other aspects of it that are pleasant, and it is very interesting to amuse you." good."

The two were talking when the sky outside changed.

Dark clouds are entrenched, which means that there will be heavy rain.

At this time, a carriage was driving on the rural road.

Bentley and Darcy had just concluded a business negotiation, and they took a carriage to the train station in another small town.

"Oh! It looks like it's going to rain heavily, and I may not be able to reach the train station today."

Bingley proposed to spend the night at a nearby manor, "Fitzwilliam, what do you think?"

"You don't have to travel in the rain."

Darcy estimated that the rain might last all night, and agreed to the proposal of staying in the manor.

The coachman said that the nearby manor is called KS Manor.

Bentley: Why is this name so sloppy and familiar, like a collection of initials of two detectives who haven't seen each other for many years.

Darcy: I don't know why, but he has a vague premonition.

It seems that a certain truth has been late for many years, but it will finally be struck down.
