[Sherlock] The Rose and You

Chapter 23 Celia's Death 2

Renamed?

Qiao Wei was taken aback.

When she was on the train, she once met a god-level figure named Felix Kane, but when she arrived here, she met another guy named Felix Barnott.

They have different surnames, but both are called Felix.

Could it be that someone named Felix has a much better appearance gene than other people?

Or is there some relationship between the two that she doesn't know about?

Qiao Wei thought about it, but still didn't think deeply.

She didn't know or understand these two people, and the conclusions drawn only by speculation may become the bias of her later judgment.

It's better not to be clear at the beginning, and then you can speculate based on the actual situation.

Qiao Wei, who made up her mind to meet Barnott when she had the chance, picked up a few books, bid farewell to Celia, and started reading in the corner.

When she was fascinated by reading, she couldn't feel the passage of time. Putting down the book in her hand, Qiao Wei stretched comfortably, planning to change a few books, but what disturbed her tranquility was always a scream.

She raised her head irritably, and saw that many of the crowd rushed towards the reading room in another corner, and some of them ran out of the library cleverly, probably to call the teacher and the police.

For no reason, she felt uneasy.

Putting the book back on the shelf, Qiao Wei walked over with the flow of people.

The closer she got, the more intense the uneasiness in her heart became. She heard the gasps of many people, most of them were men, and they probably had lingering fears.

Relying on the fact that she is a girl, although many gentlemen disapproved of her move forward, but seeing her persistence, she finally stood in the front row smoothly.

#Unexpectedly, I also have a day when I swipe my face card O(∩_∩)O#

But in the reading room, she understood the reason for the disapproval in those people's eyes.

Celia is dead.

The death is tragic.

She was sitting reclined on the chair, the dagger was thrown on the ground, blood flowed from her chest, she was still holding a note in her left hand, with a look of surprise and pain on her face.

She was completely naked, with only a thin shirt covering her important parts, which was probably put on by the first few people.

Her skin shimmered in the light, and tiny drops of water slid off her skin and fell to the floor like a sigh.

Her body was wet, and judging from the staggered red marks on her body, it was very likely that she was wiping vigorously with a wet towel, which caused such a situation.

Celia's complexion is rosy, and there are no corpse spots on her body, so her death should not be long.

Looking at her death scene, the murderer is probably deliberately creating a different place for the crime scene.

moist—

Hot springs, bathhouses, or -- bathtubs.

He is restoring something, a painting—

Its name is--

The Death of Marat.

##############

Qiao Wei felt that she could be regarded as the heroine of a detective novel purely in terms of her ability to attract cases and police officers. After all, every time someone died around her, she would run into Officer Lestrade.

Could this be the halo of the legendary heroine?

Qiao Wei thought to herself.

This time, Celia's case was still taken over by Lestrade.

He came to visit his friend who was teaching in Oxford, and he didn't expect to encounter another case, and it was a murder case.

He still took great pleasure in the murder case.

Out of prudent considerations, Qiao Wei did not intervene in this case, but the old god hid in the crowd.

She even ran into Sherlock who came looking for her with a depressed face because it was too late.

However, even though Sherlock expressed a strong desire to leave, Qiao Wei still held him with a serious face, "Sherlock, I watched the stars last night, and I saw that you are a A rising star in the detective world.

And now, it's time to test you!Can you see the cause of the girl's death? "Qiao Wei said seriously, "Look, you encountered a case on the first day you met me, let me tell you, I will follow you, you will never be bored. "

He could hear the other party complaining about his resentment for not taking her to investigate. Sherlock, who hadn't experienced too many hardships in life, suddenly felt a little guilty, so he didn't refuse the other party's small request.

"Mara's death?" His eyes darkened.

"That's right, the death of Mara." Qiao Wei followed him into the crowd, and said in a low voice, "After the Jacobin faction came to power, Mara became the chairman of the faction because of his excellent calling ability, but at the same time he was also the leader of the faction. A brutal and bloodthirsty activist who guillotines his political opponents, often without trial.

He suffers from a serious skin disease, and the pain can only be relieved by soaking in a bathtub sprinkled with medicine every day. Therefore, the bathroom has become the office place where he spends most of his time.

On July 1793, 7, a woman opposed to tyranny entered Marat's bathroom under the pretext of negotiating matters, and assassinated him without warning, ending the life of this violent politician. "

After a pause, she continued, "Since you know this painting, you must also know that David thought it would be beneficial for people to show the life of the deceased who worked for the public during his lifetime. The simplicity and simplicity of the picture move people's hearts. Except for peaceful figures, white bath towels, green tablecloths, and yellow wooden boxes, there are not many cumbersome images.

The composition is very low, and the black above occupies a large area, creating a solemn and solemn atmosphere.

Marat fell asleep quietly as if overtired, still holding a quill and an application waiting to be signed, which read: "July 1793, 7, Mary Ann Charlotte Corday To Citizen Marat: I am so unfortunate that I count on your charity, and that is enough."

Among them, Mary Ann Charlotte Corday was the name of the murderer.

On the wooden box lay an inkwell, a quill, some banknotes and a note saying: "Please give these five franc notes to a mother of five whose husband gave own life."

Regardless of whether it looks like this in reality, all of this is obviously carefully arranged by the painter. He intends to set off the crime of murder through the inspiration of morality and personality. I guess the murderer put himself in David’s place, and then created I created such a scene, so I feel that the murderer himself is guilty of killing, but there is a reason why he has to kill. "

Stopping again, Qiao Wei, who wanted to continue talking, was interrupted by Sherlock, "But I don't think so."

He rubbed his chin, "I asked when I came here, Miss Celia borrowed a total of five books today, which can be proved by her library card, and she borrowed five books, but in her hand But there are only two books. If the murderer put them, why didn't he put back the books that the deceased was holding?

After all, these five books are a series of materials.

So, the conclusion is obvious.It was put back by the deceased himself. "

The author has something to say: Well, there is a double update today, and there will be a chapter later. I am very happy that the collection has finally passed [-]. Although this statistic is nothing compared to those great masters, I am still very happy.la la la

☆、Chapter 24 The Death of Adeline

"What Celia borrowed was David's painting collection. There are five books in total. They are linear picture albums. Every time she reads one, she will return one. The books on the shelf are very neat, indicating that the person who put the books She wasn't in a hurry, but after she finished paying back the third book, the people at the library didn't see her again. It should have happened.

The location of this reading room is remote, and Celia often comes here to read books, and it takes a long time to look at it, so this place has almost been regarded as Celia's exclusive reading room by default.

Since someone can enter here without being noticed by everyone, there should be at least three situations.

In the first case, this person is very familiar with Celia, and it is considered to be a visit, and he easily entered the reading room. In the second possibility, this person is a person with a very good reputation, and Celia does not refuse to be with him. Reading, this person is very likely to be a senior or a senior in the same department as her. She thinks that she may learn something from the other person, and there may be the last case, that person is someone she has some kind of secret feelings about. She was delighted by the arrival of the other party, and she was even unwilling to leave. If this is the case, then even the time of death I thought at first would be overturned, and her death time might be extended.Other lesser possibilities are not mentioned for the time being.

However, in any of these three situations, the murderer was on a relatively friendly side with the deceased.

So I personally think that the murderer, he positioned himself not as David, but as Mary Ann Charlotte Corday.

Mary wins Marat's trust, and then kills Marat.

The murderer took Celia's trust and killed her as well. "

Can't you use the word "secret love" well?Qiao Wei complained while listening.

"Hey, you're so amazing, I can't compare to you at all, so such a smart and witty detective, why don't you come forward and show off your IQ." Qiao Wei shrugged, "Offended people like me It’s better to hide from the limelight.”

She understood the gap between herself and a person with full detective skills. The details determine success or failure. A type like Sherlock who has all-round information control is completely incomparable to a type like her who is invincible based on theory alone.

People are more popular than people - sure enough.

"If I introduce you to Lestrade, he probably won't refuse, but you have to give him the limelight."

This can be regarded as the default transaction between them.

She solved the case for the fun of the case itself.

Sherlock finally agreed, probably because he felt that he did have the qualifications to be a detective, but more, it should be curiosity about the case, confidence in himself, and a trace of guilt towards her.

But after the other party agreed, Qiao Wei suddenly regretted it.

It is mentioned in the excerpt "The Mystery of the Gloria Scott" from "The Complete Works of Sherlock Holmes" that in the last semester of the first grade, when he was 19 years old, he was killed by his classmate Victor Trevor's dog bit him, and the two became acquainted. The following summer, Holmes was invited to visit Victor Trevor's house. After being reminded by Trevor's father, Holmes realized that he had the qualifications to be a detective. , he solved the case "The Gloria Scott Mystery".

So, after stealing Watson's cohabitation scene, did she steal Trevor's father?

If life was such a TV series, she suddenly wanted to know how the plot would be broken by her——

However, it's only a year away, so it shouldn't collapse too much.

She consoled herself.

At this moment, she didn't think of it at all. There was a sentence called——

Lost in millimeters, a thousand miles.

############

The first thing Lestrade did after he arrived was to clear the irrelevant people from the first scene of the crime, and then set aside an open area for his investigation. Because the police from Oxford headquarters were still on their way, so Assisting him at this moment is the security of the school.

Of course, Qiao Wei did what she said, taking advantage of the flow of people receding, even if she regretted a little bit, she still approached the police officer and introduced Sherlock to Lestrade seriously.

Of course, Sherlock's helpless temper was also introduced by the way.

In order to win the trust of the police officer, Qiao Wei did not hesitate to exaggerate various facts, almost exaggerating Sherlock as an all-knowing, omnipotent and unique genius detective in the sky and the world-in fact, it is true, so although the police officer is half-believing Sherlock arranged into the team.

What's more, after all, it was Miss Hogmorts' order, and he dared not disobey.

After finishing this task, Qiao Wei became the hands-off shopkeeper, and went into the crowd with the flow of people.She suddenly remembered the three possibilities that Sherlock had mentioned, and grabbed a very gentleman-looking boy beside her, and asked softly, "Sir, do you know who Celia's best friend is? The police officer is looking for her."

There is no need to ask about the crush, it must be Barnott.

The boy looked at her, blushed, scratched his hair, and said shyly, "I don't know very well, but Senior Celia is very popular, and it may be because she is a member of the student union. Senior Sister Adeline works and eats together, I think Sister Adeline should be regarded as her best friend."

Adeline.

new name.

Qiao Wei secretly remembered the name.

She asked quietly among the crowd. Most people thought it was Senior Adeline, and a few people thought it was Senior Amanda, because they often read books together.

"Let's visit these two first." Qiao Wei decided.

Anyway, she believed that Sherlock's thoughts should be the same as hers.

Although she doesn't want to be involved in the case, she wants to know the truth.

But soon, she found that she didn't have to figure out how to visit.

Because Adelina is dead too.

died in her studio.

When the first witnesses spotted her, she was still holding a paintbrush on a drawing board.

It was an almost finished painting.

The upper part of the painting is empty, empty and deep. The light coming in from the left side illuminates the body and face of the figure, giving it a three-dimensional sense like a monument.

There are not many colors on the screen, and there are no complicated shortening methods, but it is very eye-catching.Because in this painting, which is very similar to the death of Marat, the main character is——

Celia.

The author has something to say: the people who are going to die in the short term have already died, and then the plot of solving the case will start.la la la
