Chapter 137 Analysis and Ghosts

Sherlock walked to the place where Miss Queenie was killed.

People from Scotland Yard have already removed the body, leaving only the outline drawn in white chalk, blackened blood on the ground, and some unknown pieces of meat, liquid and organ fragments.Although the surrounding area was cordoned off, as the sun rose and morning arrived, many onlookers still gathered at the scene.

"Do you have any ideas?" Di Renjie followed, with his hands in the outer pockets of his windbreaker, his eyes were slightly red, which was the result of a whole night's sleep.

Di Renjie felt that he had been staying up too many times recently, which seemed to be different from what he had imagined at first, and it seemed that the social instruments of the British Empire were not so easy to do.

"Judging from the information Miss Alena gave us, Miss Queenie and even Miss Alena approached the Earl of Granville, it should be a deliberate arrangement by Director Wang Delei and some important people who are likely to exist behind him." Sherlock analyzed the information he had so far.

"Later, I asked the staff in the theater again. Several female actors said euphemistically that they had actually heard such rumors the day before yesterday——Director Wang Delei seemed to intend to match Miss Queenie and Mr. Hickman. Of course, later We all know that the person in Mr. Hickman's exclusive private room is not Mr. Hickman, but the famous Earl of Granville." Di Renjie added a new piece of information slightly sideways.

"It seems that Mr. Hickman is also an accomplice in this operation." Sherlock nodded and said in agreement: "Can we find this Mr. Hickman now?"

"I have two pieces of news about this gentleman, one is good news and the other is bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Di Renjie didn't answer directly, but smiled and put off a trick.

"Oh, then I choose to hear the bad news first." Sherlock said very cooperatively.

"The bad news is that Mr. Hickman had already fled London yesterday because of his wrong knowledge during the day. After all, even if the whole thing went smoothly according to their predetermined plan, it is entirely possible that he would be dragged into trouble by the Earl of Granville. Therefore, yesterday in As soon as he was free to move, he left Great Britain with the ticket he bought in advance." Di Renjie said in a very regretful tone.

"So what's the good news? Tell me, I can't wait."

"The good news is that we found the ticketing company where he bought the ticket anonymously, and checked all the passengers to confirm which ticket Mr. Hickman bought. I have to say that this gentleman should be used to it." Days, even in the case of anonymous fleeing, we still bought the first-class cabin, which reduced our screening range a lot.”

"It's wonderful, I hope he didn't go somewhere too far away." Sherlock said thoughtfully, and then he saw Di Renjie's strange expression: "Wait, he didn't really go somewhere very far away." place?"

"It's not too far away. He went to Yorkshire, but it's the newer one." Di Renjie shrugged: "Fortunately, we have a faster route, and I have arranged several tactical maneuvers The members of the team will take this route, and they will arrive in New York a little earlier than Mr. Hickman, and then they only need to wait at the pier for Mr. Hickman to deliver him to his door.”

Sherlock clapped his hands and praised: "It's a perfect arrangement, the only fly in the ointment is that we won't be able to obtain evidence of Wang Delei's crime by interrogating Mr. Hickman."

"Fortunately, we still have a lot to focus on." Di Renjie didn't feel too regretful, after all, there is still a lot to explore in this case: "We can confirm that Director Wang Delei deliberately let Miss Queenie approach Ge Earl of Lanville, and the intention to create a scandal, but there is no direct evidence to prove that Director Wang Delei actually carried out this act. Existing testimonies are relatively weak as evidence, especially when Miss Alena's testimony cannot be used as evidence in court circumstances."

"As for the deaths of Miss Alena and Miss Queenie, from the motive point of view, it is most likely that Wang Delei and his team committed the crime, because they have the need to kill people to silence them. Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the two of them are She committed suicide because her heart was traumatized, but judging from her behavior during our contact with Miss Aliena, I don’t think she is likely to make the choice of suicide.” Di Renjie described his own Tell Sherlock the judgment, in the past two months of cooperation, they have become very accustomed to this communication mode.This exchange is not only a confirmation and synchronization of the ideas of both parties, but also a process of inspection and improvement.

"I still remember the characteristics of Miss Queenie's body yesterday. Judging from the muscle performance of the limbs and the testimony of the personnel at the scene, Miss Queenie's jumping behavior was not coerced by any observable external force last night. But in this way, Miss Queenie The act of jumping from the building should be voluntary, but I carefully observed the facial micro-expressions of her corpse, and in the final moments before her death, her face was not only frightened but also mixed with some astonishment."

"Astonished, are you sure? To be honest, Miss Queenie's final appearance is quite complicated. At least with my ability, I'm afraid I can't recognize the expression on the remaining half of her face in such a bloody scene. What is the specific meaning?" Di Renjie didn't distrust Sherlock, he just thought it was a bit too exaggerated.

"Of course, I can be sure. I have observed enough corpses and performed detailed dissections on them. Although Miss Queenie's final appearance is relatively broken, for me, half of the face is enough." Sherlock said confidently that he has unique experience in this field.

"In addition, I have also confirmed that the members of the Windmill Theater gathered here last night because Director Wang Delei summoned everyone in the name of comforting Miss Queenie." Sherlock touched his chin, showing a thoughtful expression : "Combined with the news that Miss Alena revealed, I think the real purpose of this party may be to create a special occasion, a special occasion where Miss Queenie can justifiably die in front of everyone."

"But Sherlock, these are just inferences we have made based on Miss Alena's words and the motives of all parties. If we want to prove that it was really Director Wang Delei who brutally killed Miss Alena and Miss Queenie in order to silence them, Then we have to give more direct evidence." Di Renjie reminded.

"Of course, how could I miss this point. I think we can start from two places at present. The first is Miss Aliena's body and the first scene where the body was found; The place where Lian Na and Miss Queenie used to be active and haunted." Sherlock waved his hand at Di Renjie, and said impatiently: "Let's leave quickly. Although Miss Queenie's death is regrettable, it has also given a lot of pressure. We're going to justifiably turn the Windmill Theater upside down."
-
In an unknown luxury villa, a corner of the purple window screen framed with complex lace patterns was blown up by the breeze, and the slightly chilly breeze was blown into the warm room along the small gap, and was instantly warmed. A high-end wood-burning fireplace invites you.

The fireplace exuding fiery temperature can make the air in the room warm and dry, and as for the lighting, several gorgeous glass lamps are in charge.

Ms. Adler was lazily leaning on the sofa, wearing only a thin gauze on her body, showing her proud figure with every breath.

"Ma'am, I still don't know how I should get revenge, and I feel like my condition is getting worse and worse." Alena floated in the room somewhat awkwardly, and it had been 11 hours since she left Patrick. Her soul is on the verge of disappearing.

"Power is always the foundation of revenge, and you are very lucky because you already have this foundation." Adler stretched out her right hand and spun it gently in front of Alena.

"I don't understand. I have even lost my physical body at this moment, so how can I have power?" Aliena looked at Ms. Adler's movements with some puzzlement.

"You have power, but you don't know how to use it." With the rotation of Adler's palm, Aliena felt her body gradually become more compact and more textured.It's hard for her to describe this feeling. It's not the same as the real feeling of having a body, but she feels that she can't say what the specific difference is.

Just in a trance, her soul body, which seemed to be nothing to any real object, seemed to be able to slightly influence some real objects with her own thoughts.

She didn't know the reason behind this change, but she felt that she was in a very good state, and the original feeling that she was about to dissipate also disappeared.

"What did you do to me?" Aliena asked out of curiosity.

"You may not be able to understand it now, but the reason behind all of this is actually very simple." Ms. Adler chuckled softly: "A rational and independent ghost is the easiest existence to step into the second level."
