Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

As the saying goes, diligence can make up for one's weakness.

Since you don't know anything about love poetry, practice it from scratch.

The two bought a lot of books that they hadn't read before, and love poems from different countries in different periods were spread on the wooden table one by one.

"That's fine."

Sherlock flipped through a few books, and threw those desire-filled poetry collections aside with disgust, and finally chose one with artistic conception. ""The length of the autumn night has its own name. We just glanced at each other and it was dawn."①"

"It's good, but do you think Peterson can understand the artistic conception of Japanese Waka?"

Kelsey dismissed this option, "It's better to use a straightforward metaphor. "I'm yours, you are mine. I know it well. You lodged in my heart and lost the little key. You have to settle there forever.”②”

Sherlock glanced at the author and denied it. "Do you think that with Peterson's arrogance, he would choose a love poem from a German female poet?"

Neither does this, nor does that.

Pick and choose, Shakespeare is well known.

However, the content of the sonnet such as "spending energy in the desert of shame is desire in action; and before acting, desire gambles with false curses, bloodthirsty, murderous, full of sin, murderous, brutal, Unreliable and extreme.

When happiness is still young, it immediately feels tasteless; if you pursue it unreasonably, but once you get it, you will hate it unreasonably, like a hook specially set to lure the hooker to madness. "

Such a comment on "love" just accurately describes Peterson, how could he read it out and slap himself in the face.

Based on Peterson's character, but also in line with Hessel's deep-seated expectations, the two read through a group of books, and finally finalized the works of British poets Byron and Spencer.

The next step is to enter the most important part of combining sound and emotion.

Sherlock quickly wrote down the content of the love poem, and after proficiently reciting it, he looked at the moon by the window and began to brew his emotions.

"Then, let us not wander any longer, it is so late, the night is at its core. Though the heart is still in love, and the moonlight is still bright. For the sword wears out the scabbard, and the soul wears out the form. And the heart should Stop and take a breath, love itself needs to rest.”③”

"Pfft."

Kelsey couldn't hold back his laughter in the end. It wasn't that the laughter was low, but that the emotions expressed by Sherlock were really ridiculous.

"Jerry!"

Sherlock squinted at Kelsey, "What's so funny? Didn't you hear the deep meaning? After years of tormenting each other, the hearts long to return to the original warmth."

"Hahaha--"

It’s okay not to listen to the explanation, Kelsey laughed even more happily when he heard the explanation. "Tom, do you call this returning to warmth? Don't lie to me, do you think I'm stupid? "

Kelsey pierced Sherlock's emotional substitution, "Your tone just now was like confessing to a piece of chocolate cake.

Oh, my favorite chocolate cake, it is the colorful world outside that separates us.I once betrayed the sweetness you brought, and fell in love with grilled steak, fried seabass, or served with potatoes with salt and vinegar. "

Sherlock coughed a few times and looked away.A partner who is too smart can also cause minor annoyances, such as breaking him straight.

Fortunately, Kelsey was not familiar enough with Mycroft, otherwise he would have seen through it directly, and he substituted Mycroft's feelings for chocolate cake.

"Okay. Although I don't think the Viscountess will be as keenly aware of the difference as you are, it does need to be more relevant."

Sherlock gave up on substituting his love for chocolate cake, what reference should he look for. "I know it takes a lot of learning to be the best detective possible, but this test really made me laugh."

“That’s why it’s said, ‘One charming night brings more pleasure than a hundred lucky days.’”

Kelsey enjoyed watching the excitement and learned to use the poems he had just read. "That's right, in Night's Enchantment, the joy of your contribution to solving a case is immeasurable. In this way, 'Night and Secrets add to the fun and make the fun more sustainable, in a thousand different ways. "④"

Whose happiness is continuing?

I'm afraid someone's schadenfreude continues.

Sherlock smiled suddenly, "Indeed, I can continue to be happy in thousands of different ways, how can I bear to taste it alone. Jerry, do you remember that you are the one who proposed the plan? It's time for you to make your contribution."

Kelsey instinctively wanted to run, otherwise the stone she lifted would probably fall on her feet. "I……"

"It's you! Please sit quietly for the sake of the case."

Sherlock hurriedly took out the hair cover and shawl from the suitcase, and stuffed them to Kelsey. This pit was to be jumped by two people together. "For me to play Peterson, please do your due diligence as Hessel."

The hair set is a coiled-up lady's long hair.

The shawl is an old lady shawl that is half old and not new.

Kelsey stared at the thing in his hand for five seconds, then raised his head with an expression of disbelief: "Tom, I didn't expect you to be such a Mr. Holmes."

"Why should you be surprised? I'm just in case."

Sherlock plausibly said, "Mr. Bennet, you have no right to be shocked. Who is it that a letter made me a father this time? And who is it that I need to improvise Jerry next time? Mother? Sister? Lover ? Only the devil knows."

Kelsey couldn't help thinking about it, almost took a breath, and immediately deleted the terrible scene from his mind.

"Dedicated Mr. Holmes, I swear by your pipe that I will never let you try such a disguise. Please remember that I have a basic code of cooperation."

"Why do you swear on my pipe when there is a code of cooperation?"

Sherlock sneered, raised his jaw, and motioned for Kelsey to move quickly into character.

Kelsey tries to smile, is it just a shawl and not a dress?What kind of genius was she to come up with such absurd love poem plan to exploit herself?

And it can also be prophesied by God. As soon as I said, "Night and secrets increase the fun and make the happiness more sustainable, in a thousand different ways", the retribution will come.

I read it silently several times in order to solve the case, without procrastinating, wearing a hood and a shawl.

Kelsey adjusted her sitting position, turning more than halfway on her side.Entering the play in an instant, he became Hessel who deeply buried his love and hatred.

Dimly lit.

Sherlock looked at the profile, as if he really saw an infatuated and hurt woman.

This moment, too, is brought into the play, as Peterson reads out the unfinished poems before, one after another, and then comes back to Spence's poems automatically.

"...my poems will perpetuate your rare virtues and write your splendid name in the kingdom of heaven. Even if death conquers this world, our love will endure forever and last forever in the next life.④"

The love poem ends in Sherlock's deep and pious voice, and the night seems to be suddenly quiet.

After a few seconds of silence, Kelsey jerked off the hood. "No! I can't be moved. It's a nightmare within a nightmare to live forever with Peterson."

Sherlock also made a scene all of a sudden, "Don't worry, no one wants you to be moved, as long as Hesel in the manor is moved. Keep up, practice a few more times, and we will act tomorrow night."

**

In November, it was windy and cold in early winter.

The two who sneaked into the manor quietly ignored the temperature.Like Romeo who met Juliet for the first time, he was excited to verify the success of the love poem project.

Find just the right corner, which is located diagonally below Hessel's bedroom, and it is hidden enough that no one will find it and drive it away immediately.

After Kelsey threw three branches to the glass window on the second floor and knocked on the window three times in the middle of the night, the voice of Peterson recited poems in the flowers.

The moonlight is like water, and the prodigal son narrates his desire to return home, which makes the November night a little more lingering.

On such a quiet night, how could the people in the mansion not hear poetry.

Several lights were turned on one after another, or there was some commotion, but no one came out to investigate.

It is very likely that some senior servants recognized Peterson's voice and did not rush out to disturb the Viscount's peace request.

'Wow—'

Hesel's window was finally pushed open, and her thin figure appeared on the balcony, and she whispered softly, "Alan..."

At this time, the love poem was suddenly interrupted.

Hesel saw a light in the flowers, and the two detectives who had met were waving to her.

At this moment, she fell heavily from the peak of hope, and smiled miserably.

It turned out that she had been longing for Peterson to really change his mind, but she should have realized that some people never really have hearts.Ups and downs, it is rare to be very clear, and all the extra voices in my head are gone.

Heather threw on a generous cloak, and hurried downstairs to the flowers.

She has a feeling that maybe there will be no tomorrow, and she will fall asleep completely after twelve o'clock tonight.

"Yes, I know Helen."

Hesel came to the flowers, probably because she hadn't communicated with outsiders for too long, or because she knew that time was running out, she said straight to the point: "It was Orthea who killed her, but don't worry, Andrea didn't will make her appear again."

oh!This is breaking news.

Both Kelsey and Sherlock saw surprise in each other's eyes, and Hessel admitted to the murder, and it was precisely her third personality who killed the person.

"Ma'am, do you mean that besides Ms. Andrea, there is also Ms. Althea living in her body?" Kelsey reconfirmed, "When did you discover their existence?"

"Alice was seriously ill, but Peterson was indifferent. His only child was dying, but he was still making out with Helen outside. As a father, Peterson was so attached to his lover's bed that he didn't rush back to see his daughter for the last time. Then For a moment, I hated them."

Heather couldn't hold back the tears as she thought of her daughter. "After all, I failed to keep Alice nine years ago, and she went anyway. After that, I was left alone to live in a cold and heartless world. For more than two years, although Mandy accompanied me to comfort me, I couldn't hold back His hatred finally made Orthea appear."

Wait a minute, there are a lot of names here.

It is known that Alice Phoebe Peterson is the child of the Peterson couple.

The personality of Andrea, whom she had met before, did not want to call Peterson again, nor did she call her daughter by her first name, but called her middle name indifferently.

Tonight's Hellse has a different personality. She will call her daughter Alice by her first name.

Sherlock was puzzled, "Who is Mandy?"

There was a slight smile on Hessel's face, "Mandy is Alice's tutor, she is four or five years older than Phoebe, but she is healthy and gentle, she is the best girl."

However, Hessel thought of the third person, Georthea, and soon lost his smile.

"At that time, I didn't want to feel hurt anymore and left London, and Mandy also found a new job. I came to Kent alone to recuperate, and I didn't expect to run into Helen here."

The flame of hatred instantly engulfed reason.

Originally, Hessel was a gentle woman. Even though she knew that Peterson had many mistresses outside, she always hoped that her husband would come back one day.But Helen's existence made it difficult for her to sleep at night.

At that time, Hessel hated Helen.It is believed that her existence took away Peterson's soul, and prevented her daughter from seeing her father again before his death.

"I followed Helen and found out that she had private meetings with men on a regular basis. Helen is like that. She has affairs with so many men who are beautiful and murderous. Men are all confused by her."

Hesel's tone was not a bit jealous, "Althea suddenly appeared, and with precise arrangements, the devil's flames devoured Helen. When I realized that everything was a foregone conclusion, I actually let the devil in my body Killed."

Hessel couldn't help shaking, and his spirit began to slacken.

Kelsey supported Hessel's arms, "Ma'am, cheer up."

"I'm sorry, I can't help it. I can't face it all, I can only let Andrea resist everything. Andrea doesn't care about anything, so she won't suffer like me. But every winter night comes, midnight When the dream comes back, I will wake up with regret.”

Hessel shook his head miserably, "Actually, I know that Helen's mistakes are not fatal. The biggest mistake is Peterson, who is a heartless person. And my biggest mistake is falling in love with a heartless person in an era when true love doesn't exist. man.

I should have known he wasn't worthy of my love from the first time I found out he was having an affair with the village woman Eve.As long as there is no love, everything will be solved. "

"Please hold on."

Kelsey hurriedly asked, "Madam, do you know Pastor Abuli and Franklin, a businessman from the United States?"

Hessel shook his head blankly, "I know Pastor Abuli, but I've never met him. As for the businessman, I've never heard of him."

Hessel's voice was getting weaker and weaker, and at the end of this sentence, she disappeared.

The weeping expression was instantly replaced by indifference.

Andrea threw away Kelsey's support, "Get out! Get out of here in 3 minutes, or I'll greet you with a gun!"

Don't have the slightest doubt, Andrea can definitely do it.

But Sherlock asked before leaving, "Did you see no one? Mandy came and didn't see?"

Hearing this name, Andrea, who had always been indifferent, was gentle for a moment, and then she scolded coldly, "You men, are you worthy of being compared with Mandy! Get lost—"

Sherlock and Kelsey hurried out of the manor.

When they returned to the hotel, the two stood still and looked at each other to make sure of one thing—the suspect X was found.

Tonight, Hessel admitted that the third personality killed Helen, but it caused more problems.

Helen died first, so who is related to the deaths of Abuli and Franklin?Why are Peterson's fire nightmares getting worse?

"These people are all on a death list, and they are all the targets of X to hunt and kill."

Sherlock sorted it out from the beginning, and X had a deep hatred with Peterson, Abu Li, Helen, and Hessel.

It's no secret that Alice's health is ill, but the deep vengeance made X hide his name and hide in the Viscount's mansion to become a tutor.

This position allows long-term contact with the hostess and hostess, thus giving them psychological hints for several years.

When Alice passed away, X was able to break through Hessel's fragile defense line in one fell swoop, and continuously aggravated her resentment towards Helen and Peterson.

"Hessel moved to Kent and met Helen again, it is very likely that it is in X's layout, otherwise Peterson has so many manors, why would his wife choose this place.

With Andrea's tone just now, she is as indifferent as she is gentle to Mandy.It is said that after Mandy finds a new job, she may still have contacts with her old employer. "

Sherlock is not surprised at all, because X has a relationship with Hesel, so that he can lure the killing intent of the third personality.

After Helen died, getting rid of Abuli and Peterson was not as easy as stimulating Hessel.

A ruthless person is difficult to be hurt, and it took seven years to subtly change it.

Peterson was so infatuated with the power of the snake god that he would almost die of exhaustion even if there was no fire.Abuli was obsessed with refreshing water, and sooner or later he would die of an overdose.

Don't think that X let Hesel go, and split into three parts by himself, I'm afraid he could be tempted to the critical point and blow up at any time.

"Of course, this is just my conjecture. Exactly what kind of hatred makes X spend so much effort, [-]% may be inseparable from the love and hatred of the previous generation. What is dangerous is the mind control technique she masters."

As Sherlock spoke, he became interested, "This way of killing people is invisible, and it is difficult to find substantial evidence. It would be a pity if I didn't see it myself."

"Then, like Franklin, after a month's change of temperament?"

Kelsey is not alarmist, and X's mind control is getting more and more skilled.In the past, it took a long time to plant spiritual hints, but Franklin's transformation came too fast, which is enough to show that the danger of X is rising steadily.

"Jerry, please give me more confidence. I won't put myself in danger easily. Besides, do you think anyone can be controlled by the mind?"

Sherlock raised his eyebrows, "X was well aware of the psychological weaknesses of those people, so he successfully attacked them. If it were you, I have full confidence that you would not become another person. It is an inappropriate metaphor, no matter how powerful X is, wouldn't it be Can you turn a man into a woman?"
