I am creating a esoteric religion in London

Chapter 153 Regretful Douglas

The reason why Charlotte Holmes came to the Sailing and Tobacco Tavern was not because of a request from Scotland Yard, but because of her own initiative.

She has not been idle during this time. Although she has not been able to crack the esoteric criminal gang again, she has also solved several murder cases caused by out-of-control esoteric believers. Although these small cases are not enough to make the female detective's status in the Anti-Suppression Bureau go further .

However, through these small cases, Charlotte has enhanced the connection with the intelligence department, logistics department and clearance department of the Anti-Suppression Bureau.

Although theoretically the authority of the second-level special investigator is not enough to transfer other departments under non-mission situations, the female detective is obviously an exception, not only because of her outstanding talent, but also because of her exceptionally prominent family background— —Even if the reason why the Holmes family was granted the title of duke is not recorded in clear historical documents.

Charlotte was thus able to enjoy some of the intelligence privileges of a high-ranking special investigator.

So when she was flipping through this morning's anti-suppression bureau daily, she found such a piece of information.

[Two vicious homicides broke out in East London last night]

[Case No. [-] happened in the Sailboat and Tobacco Tavern. A total of thirteen members of the Burton Brotherhood died—according to the preliminary investigation by the intelligence team, some of the dead were attacked by extremely sharp weapons, and there is a low probability that they were evil esoteric believers for. 】

[Case No. 1857 happened in Burton Port, two blocks away, and the interval between Case No. [-] and Case [-] was less than an hour, and the victims were all members of the Burton Brotherhood. The murderer was most likely the same gang—according to Preliminary investigation by the intelligence team found that there were three hexagonal warheads left at the scene, and the suspected murder weapon was a Whitworth M[-] precision rifle. 】

[Probability of esoteric believers committing crimes: low. ——Information team personnel I421 stay. 】

At that time, Sherlock was looking at the contents of the daily newspaper about the suspected murder weapon, and he couldn't help but recall that Watson seemed to use this gun when he remotely sniped and killed the broken corpse summoned by the Order of the Flashing Blade... So these two Was Watson involved in the case?

The female detective did not forget her assistant who was undercover at the Crossroads Hospital, and it has been almost three months since she lost contact with him—she had also considered whether Watson had defected, but it was still some time before the time they agreed on. day.

Although she has the darkest and most malicious views on most things in the world, she is also willing to believe in Watson-after all, the other party has saved her life desperately, blocking William McConaughey's severed finger for herself attack.

Watson deserves his trust!
And when Sherlock saw the suspected Whitworth M1857 precision rifle, he immediately thought of Watson. It is not widely used.

Besides, the time she agreed with Watson was getting closer and closer, and she had a hunch that maybe this familiar weapon was the mark left by Watson!
Watson probably wanted to use this to lure me over... Maybe his message was hidden at the scene of the case.

As for whether Watson was involved in the two homicide cases, and whether he also committed the murder... The female detective didn't care, but she knew exactly what kind of scum the members of the Burton Brothers Gang were!
The fact that the Burton Brothers were able to thrive and grow into the behemoth that now occupies half of East London, apart from the unknown source of funding behind the gang leader Ottavio Burton, is also inseparable from the gang's competitive nature .

According to the information collected by the female detective, the Burton Brothers Gang pursues a wolf-like culture, requiring gang members to be as cruel as wolves, as hungry as wolves, and as united as wolves.

And any joiner needs to provide a bloody certificate - to prove that you have at least one life on hand, if not, then our guild is happy to provide you with a corresponding target, and we will naturally give you corresponding goals when you succeed. reward!

So even if the murderer in these two cases is really Watson, she will not have any accidents and hostility-killing these scumbags in society is actually a good thing for London, the big deal is that after Watson returns , she hired a good lawyer to fight the lawsuit.

There is actually only one question she really cares about now, and that is whether Watson has come into contact with those dangerous taboo knowledge, whether he has also mastered the power that will cause people to go crazy, and whether he has also begun to sink into Si Chen's spreading desire?
Thinking so, the female detective pushed open the side door of the carriage, and saw a group of haggard-looking guys surrounding a young-looking police detective with a mature mustache.

"My God! It's Miss Charlotte, the great detective!!!" One of the guys who was arguing with others shouted in a sharp voice.

The eyes of everyone present immediately shifted to the female detective.

Sherlock felt the gazes of surprise, astonishment and disgust—since Watson published the article "Shocked!"Another case of rioting comparable to the explosion of the Congress was killed in the cradle! "Afterwards, she will always bear this kind of gaze wherever she travels, and she doesn't pay much attention to it.

The X211 Arvette who came with the car has already taken charge of the assistant's work, shouting for trouble to get out of the way, to push away this group of gamblers who are obviously regulars of the sailboat and tobacco tavern, and make a way for the female detective.

Charlotte walked up to the police detective with a pipe in his mouth, frowned slightly, and said, "Didn't Grayson teach you not to smoke at the crime scene? This will most likely destroy some traces left by the murderer !"

Hearing the female detective's stern tone like a boss, Douglas was not angry, but put out his pipe with a smile, "Yes, you are right."

As early as a few months ago, when Mr. Grayson was promoted to superintendent, he had already confessed to their detectives: As long as Miss Charlotte Holmes needs it, even if it is temporarily putting aside the work at hand, you must do your best Go all out to cooperate!What Miss Charlotte said is equivalent to what I said, do you understand! ! !
Besides, he had heard rumors about a female detective, and he knew that the other party was definitely not a hype as those jealous private detectives said, but indeed possessed detective abilities that were different from ordinary people.

So Douglas was convinced of the female detective's reprimand, and he took the initiative to report the scene:

"The Sailboat and Tobacco Tavern was attacked around three o'clock last night. According to eyewitnesses, there were two murderers, both of whom were wearing dark clothes and masks. They couldn't tell their faces, but judging from their general size, they were all in their prime of life. male."

"The two murderers first shot and killed the four bartenders in the front hall, then extinguished the oil lamps in the hall, and then split up. One was responsible for defending against the gang members rushing in from the stairs and the street, while the other was in charge of the back kitchen—right Now, the tavern is actually owned by the Burton Brothers, but I suppose you know that too."

"After my initial investigation, there are two suspicious pieces of information that can help identify the suspect."

"One is that the shot locations of the deceased were quite accurate, and one of the murderers should be a sharpshooter."

"Secondly, some of the dead had their necks cut cleanly, which proves that the murderer possessed an extremely strong physique and excellent weapons, and was quite knowledgeable in cold weapons. Perhaps he was a member of some well-known schools of military strikes. .”

"As for the footprints or other traces, I haven't found them for the time being. This proves that the murderer should have certain anti-reconnaissance capabilities. I guess that the two murderers may have had military experience."

　The author vaguely remembers that Sherlock Holmes in the original book also seemed to have the experience of letting criminals go, so Charlotte felt that Watson was not guilty of killing the gang...it should be reasonable...right?
