Detective Bennet [Comprehensive novel]

March 3, Turin, sunny.

Guests gathered at Turin Cathedral.The main hall in the hall is simple and simple, while the side halls behind rows of large stone pillars on both sides are dazzling and gorgeous.

Here and now, nothing can compare to a shroud in a crystal coffin, which is the proof that Jesus came to the world, and is the blessing of the most holy God.

Facing God, the bridegroom and the bride made a vow to form a couple that will never be separated.

Amidst the singing of the choir, today's church wedding came to an end.

Relatives and friends offered their sincere blessings, and as the rain of rose petals scattered, a couple of newlyweds stepped out of the church gate and first took a carriage to the castle for the wedding banquet.

In the guest seat at the back, Kelsey and Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief.

"Great, the church wedding ended perfectly."

Sherlock sincerely praised the power of the Shroud of Jesus, "Praise the holy thing, it gave the most sincere blessing, I will always remember this feeling of good fortune."

Kelsey expressed his agreement very solemnly, "Indeed, I am also bathed in the holy light. Its energy is very powerful, affecting your and my aura. Please allow me to praise God, and may this moment last forever."

"Pfft-"

In the back row, Lydia couldn't hold back her laughter.She didn't eavesdrop on purpose, and the American teachers and students in front didn't lower their volume.

These two Americans are so funny, I have never seen a British man so emotionally exposed.

Of course, Lydia hadn't seen many men, but the ones she saw were all the same as her father, Mr. Bennet, and most of the time she only kept a polite smile.

Even if they witnessed a touching wedding, the scene could tell that it was a British man who was not enthusiastic enough.

Watson took a step sideways, pretending not to hear anything.

What's up with the two Yankees?When he was asked to bring it in, he said it in a serious manner, to observe the suspicious Primo. Now how do you lament the power of the holy object of Jesus?

It is indeed exciting to worship the sacred objects at close range, but the two who agreed to come and observe the suspect are a bit unscrupulous.

Watson secretly sighed that Yankees are unreliable.

Sure enough, the two of them were under the banner of observing the suspect, but in reality they had committed another research addiction and entered the church to see the Shroud of Jesus.

The unreliable two exchanged a glance, who said they didn't observe Primo secretly?

If Watson sees it, I really feel ashamed of the word 'secret'.Now bluntly praising God, it perfectly played the characters of Smith's teachers and students.

As for why it is so heartfelt?

It doesn't need to be known to outsiders, this is a secret between two people.

Anyway, at the moment, Kelsey and Sherlock thanked very devoutly, any kind of power would be good for blessing, and the strange aura of the two did not break out at the wedding.

The guests left one after another.

Lydia looked back with some reluctance. She had inquired that Professor Qiao would not attend the banquet afterwards.This distinction may be as far across the Atlantic Ocean.

"you……"

Lydia gritted her teeth and absolutely took the initiative to talk. Before she could say hello, she heard a tragic description of a dead mouse and a dead cat.

"The little guy's gray body exploded with a bang, splashing minced meat all over the floor."

Kelsey looked regretful, "I think the most artistic tail is also broken into several pieces. It's a pity that I can no longer play with it gently."

Sherlock received, "The mouse is too small, and it can't be pieced together when it is blown up. It is not as good as a black cat. It can still leave half of its head when it is blown up. The two eyeballs are split open, revealing an empty hole, which is very interesting."

Kelsey nodded, "Both are interesting in their own way, but the most interesting one is the blood when it explodes."

vomit!

Lydia imagined that scene, clutched her chest, and almost retched.

She hurried forward as if fleeing, and hurried to catch up with her family, never thinking of talking to the professor who fell in love at first sight.

Listening to the description of the cruelty to animals, how can you think that the Yankees are interesting, but they are obviously perverted and terrifying.

This time, Watson saw the inside story.The two Yankees are not perverts, they are just cutting off Lydia's unilaterally hoped-for train relationship in disguise.

"Professor Smith, you can actually change the description. For example, by praising the wedding banquet, you can show that you also want to get married and already have a sweetheart. This way you don't need to pour sewage on yourself."

Kelsey: I see, Watson is good at dealing with emotional issues.Every time at this time, his observation power rises to a higher level.

"Hahaha."

Kelsey just smiled awkwardly and waved her hands, "Actually, I didn't lie to that lady. We often come into contact with weird things, so we can be more thorough. Of course, I also thank Terrence for his cooperation in the performance."

"Professor, it is my honor to share your worries."

Sherlock plays like a thoughtful student.Already on the train, he had seen that the Bennets had seen Kelsey, more precisely the part of Jerry Smith.

It is not the first time that the youngest daughter of the Bennet family has taken a fancy to Mr. Smith. What kind of fate brought them together again?

"I blocked you once today, in case there is a next time..."

Sherlock threw Kelsey an imaginary look.

"No." Kelsey looked back with a smile. "Even if there is a third time, I won't worry. Because no matter how worried, it can't compare to the big event caused by our meeting."

The eyes of the two separated immediately, and they heard Watson talk about business.

"How was your observation just now? I took a sneak peek, and the Germans seemed to have no flaws."

What Watson said was that Mopley was not guilty.At today's wedding, Edwin, whose cultural relics were stolen, was also present, and when the two sides met, they turned out to be laughing.

It is completely impossible to see that one party has been stolen, and the other party is likely to hire thieves.

Watson talked about the results of Edwin's investigation about the robbers, "The driver of the locomotive has been confirmed, and he is a peripheral member of the Italian Mafia Houston family."

The Houston family has roots in southern Sicily, but it also allows them to earn some extra cash.For example, using money to do things and robbing this batch of cultural relics.

The matter of stealing the locomotive was caught by Edwin.

The members of the Houston family admitted it, but according to the rules, they would not reveal the buyer.Never making an exception for anyone, unless the other party has a favor in the family.

"However, Edwin still found out some rumors. Ninety percent of them are robbers hired by Primo. As soon as the robbed cultural relics left the train, they were delivered to Mopley that night."

Watson said helplessly, "It is very difficult to recover. In addition, what you proposed to investigate is whether the items transported in other carriages of the freight train are toxic. So far, we don't know any."

In the freight train that happened that night, except for the first car that was robbed to carry Egyptian cultural relics, the other cars mainly carried two types of goods, food and clothing.

Theoretically, the declaration materials of the consignor and the consignor all indicate that the consignment is non-toxic.

Where exactly was the dead mouse poisoned?Without the corpse, it is difficult to demonstrate and answer this question.

Kelsey mentioned Primo, "I just watched from a distance in the church, and I can't see that Primo has any guilt. Although he looks only in his 30s, he can be called old and cunning, and he can't see any flaws in his expression. normal."

"It's a little strange." Sherlock noticed that Primo was wearing make-up. "He has powder on his face, the kind that ladies use to cover their haggard faces."

Watson's puzzled face: Is there any?He didn't see it.

Sherlock nodded. "I'm sure his approach is natural."

"Perhaps in honor of the wedding?"

Watson wasn't sure, in an age where there were pros and cons about whether women should wear make-up, let alone mall men like Primo.

If Primo covered his face, it could be explained by respecting the wedding, but his three assistants were a little weird.

Kelsey imitated the movements of the three, with her hands clinging to her pants, as if she was standing upright.

"But they clenched their fists and tensed their arms from time to time. They wanted to raise their hands to do something, but they held back."

This eccentric state continued intermittently throughout the wedding ceremony.

Watson couldn't explain it either.It can't be that the three of them have bugs on their backs, and they all want to reach out to scratch them, but they can only bear it in front of the public.

"Tomorrow, the Egyptian Museum will hold an expansion seminar. Primo has also been invited. Perhaps the two of you can make further discoveries."

It is impossible for Primo to reveal his flaws easily. As long as there is no solid evidence, he will never admit it to the Baroness or Edwin.

If the robbing of the cultural relics is due to an interest dispute with Edwin, then what is the conflict with Baron Vittorio?

In this regard, Primo made a self-defense explanation. Baron Vittorio was killed by a wolf, and he couldn't be the one who deliberately led the wolf to kill.

The two have never met before, and they should be friends when they meet in the mountains.Nobles like Vittorio are the target customers he is developing.

Italian police have begun searching the surroundings of the baron's death scene.Maybe the answer will be found in the mountains, but the evidence at the time of the incident may have been erased long ago.

At present, we can only wait patiently, waiting for the discovery in the mountains, waiting for an opportunity to pry Primo's mouth open.

Watson didn't stay and wait, and continued to attend the wedding banquet later.

At ten o'clock in the evening, he left the banquet. He had successfully completed the main task of this trip to Italy.

Just thinking that Primo's group did not attend the banquet, and the carriage was about to drive into the city center.

The streets and alleys that were supposed to be quiet and deserted, from time to time, hurried footsteps ran past, even blocking the carriage.

"parking."

Watson stopped the driver and stopped a passer-by to ask, "Is there something big going on tonight? Could it be that there is a gathering at zero o'clock in Turin, and they are going to have an April Fool's Day prank?"

Passers-by shook their heads worriedly, "I wish it was an April Fool's Day joke, but the cathedral caught fire is a real thing. Half an hour ago, people nearby saw the flames soaring into the sky, and we were all worried whether the sacred objects would be burned."

"Fire? You mean the Turin Cathedral is on fire? And the Shroud may have been damaged?"

Watson opened his mouth slightly, never expecting to hear such big news with an hour left on the last day of March. "Who did it? Have you caught the arsonist?!"

The passer-by shook his head, "I'm going to find out, I must not let the arsonist go."

Watson didn't ask any more questions, and he stopped riding in the carriage, and ran directly to the Turin Cathedral.

Cathedral back door.

Kelsey and Sherlock arrived as soon as they got the news.The arsonist was caught on the spot, and it was Primo's three assistants.

However, no one was able to get the three to confess their guilt, and they all fell to the ground dead.

"These three people are cursed!"

The priest on duty at night is reporting the case to the police.

When the fire was bright, the priest called the deacons in the church to put out the fire.

Divided into two emergency investigations, one is to go to the fire site, and the other is to check the condition of the shroud, so as to prevent theft.

"Sure enough, three people wanted to pry open the door of the secret room. The deacons rushed up to subdue the three, and had some fist fights with them, but they definitely didn't kill them."

The priest swears to God, and the three thieves and arsonists suddenly went mad.

"The three of them suddenly tore off their masks, gloves, and shoes. They threw them away and began to tear their clothes in pain."

In the night, the three arsonists who were supposed to resist or run away suddenly lost control.

An invisible force surrounded them, as if an invisible magic net covered them.

The people trapped in it couldn't even breathe, and the three of them frantically waved their limbs, just to tear apart the increasingly tight shackles.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! The three of them struggled and fell to the ground one after another, without breathing anymore."

The priest recalled the strange death scene, and made a sign of the cross on his chest to stabilize his emotions.He was very sure, "This is the haunting of evil spirits, or an evil curse."

On the side, Sherlock whispered to Kelsey, "Since setting foot in Turin, how many times have you heard curses and evil spirits? People here are really used to it."

Kelsey shook her head slightly, she didn't count seriously, anyway, what is false can't be true.Looking around, there was no sign of Primo.

"I'm even more curious about Primo's situation. Now that three of his assistants have been arrested and died on the spot, what will he say?"

Regardless of what the police would ask, Sherlock decided to follow suit and take advantage of the chaos to spy on Primo.

"Tonight is a good time. As long as Primo didn't go to see God, he will definitely find something out of his mouth."

Yes, as long as Primo didn't go to see God.

A group of people rushed to the hotel, but met Primo who died suddenly in the guest room.

Unlike the three assistants who desperately took off the restraints on their bodies before they died, he lay on the bed without any signs of struggle, as if his heart had suddenly paralyzed.

To ask what is abnormal?

While searching the body, the police accidentally grabbed a wig.I saw that Primo's head was empty - he was bald, without a hair on his head.
