Chapter 139 Sherlock's Little Trick

"Mr. Watson, I don't understand what you're talking about?" Wang Delei took a step back subconsciously, but he immediately realized that his behavior would make him look guilty, so he stopped backing and raised his head again. , looked straight at Di Renjie.

As a theater manager, he was also engaged in the acting business when he was young. With years of experience, director Wang Delei also has his own understanding of performance.

He knew that he must not show any signs now, so he coughed twice, trying to make his voice calm and natural: "Although I am not a person who cleans often, frankly speaking, my pressure these days is really a bit big."

Having said that, he sighed, as if he had a lot of unknown distress in his chest, and then continued: "You know, after all, something like this happened in the theater. As a manager, I really, really blame myself In the past few days, I have been staring at these trophies from time to time in a daze, and I can't help but think about the achievements of the theater in the past. You know, some of them are even won by Miss Alena and Miss Queenie. I saw these trophies Sometimes, I couldn't help touching and wiping them, as if I could feel and relive those moments when Miss Aliena and the others were on stage when they were so energetic."

Director Wang Delei was talking, crystal tears even flashed from the corners of his eyes.

But because they had learned part of the inside story through Miss Aliena's soul in advance, Di Renjie and Sherlock were not at all moved and deceived by Director Wang Delei's performance. Sherlock even whispered in Di Renjie's ear, saying that it might be possible. It was the best acting moment in Director Wang Delei's life.

"Okay, we all know your story." Di Renjie interrupted Director Wang Delei's hypocritical performance: "That is to say, you want to tell us that you were very close to Miss Alena and Miss Queenie before they were alive." Good relationship."

"Yes, we have a very friendly relationship in private, so I am really saddened that something like this happened to them."

"Okay, but when I was going to the bathroom, I took the time to chat with a few staff members in the theater. They said that they had heard some rumors about the supervisor you introduced Miss Queenie to the Earl of Granville. There are extra services in the room." Sherlock interrupted suddenly.

But here he told a little lie. He didn't just learn this news, but he already knew it when he asked the theater staff before.

The reason why he said this at this time was to create misleading information and avoid revealing the identity of the whistleblower.

"You? What did you say? How is this possible?" Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Director Wang Delei suddenly raised his voice like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, denying it repeatedly.

"You don't think such a thing can be done seamlessly, do you?" Di Renjie quietly put psychological pressure on Director Wang Delei with his own words.

Wang Delei took two steps back in a panic, and now he could no longer maintain the posture he pretended to be calm just now.

"In fact, we know more than that." Sherlock smiled, and continued to add: "You claim that Miss Alena once came to your office to talk to you about the Earl of Granville, and many people can This proves this statement, but someone mentioned a detail. When Miss Alena went to find you, there was visible anger on her face. This is the same as what you said to the police. It seems that Miss Alena talked to you. In and out."

Wang Delei opened his mouth, but he immediately thought of an excuse: "After all, she encountered such a thing at the time, and some anger is justified. After coming to my office, under my comfort and guidance, Aliena My emotions have restrained and eased, and I think I have fulfilled the responsibilities of a supervisor.”

"In addition," Director Wang Delei seemed to realize that he could no longer let the focus of the conversation be brought to him by the two people in front of him, so he quickly asked in reverse:
"Gentlemen, I don't know what capacity you are asking me about this matter. I think the purpose of our coming here today is to find out the cause of Miss Queenie's death, although I think the ins and outs of the matter are very clear. In short, if you want to investigate Miss Queenie's past, I'm happy to communicate with you, but if you want to take the opportunity to pin the responsibility for Miss Aliena's death on me, then forgive me."

Director Wang Delei was interrupted mercilessly by Di Renjie before he finished speaking: "Actually, we know one more thing. Although you claimed that the accident happened after Miss Aliena left this room that night, we have asked all the people in the theater Staff, no one has ever witnessed this scene, no one has even seen Miss Aliena after the time you claim, don't you think this is suspicious?"

"After all, it was very late that night, and Aliena was in a very bad mood at the time." Wang Delei wanted to continue to quibble, but Sherlock no longer had the patience to listen to his performance.

"Mr. Wang Delei, have you been injured recently?" Sherlock interrupted and asked abruptly.

"Injured? No? What's the matter?" Wang Delei replied a little confused.

"That's good, John helps close the curtains." Sherlock looked at Di Renjie, Di Renjie understood immediately, and closed the windows and doors with his hands, and the curtains were firmly drawn.

"Hey, wait, what are you guys doing?" Wang Delei couldn't understand the operations of the two, but he instinctively felt that the other party might do something that would endanger him:
[Could it be that the police want to torture the confession directly in the office?This is not legal! 】

Wang Delei even made preparations for armed resistance, but what he expected did not happen.

After the curtains and doors were closed, the room became pitch black. At this moment, Sherlock took out a few bottles of medicine from his arms. He opened the bottle gracefully, and poured the liquid on the desk, floor and display racks. .

As the room was pitch black, Wang Delei could only hear a few splashes of water falling on the floor and furniture.This made him even more confused, but at the same time he was slightly relieved.

But immediately, a miraculous scene happened right under his nose.After hearing only a few sounds of water, a faint fluorescent light suddenly appeared in the room. This light blue fluorescent light was not conspicuous at first, but as time passed, they became more and more clear.

It's as if what Sherlock poured out just now was not some strange solution, but a few bottles of fluorescent paint.In the originally dark office, several huge blue fluorescent traces suddenly appeared.Some of these traces are connected together, while others are dotted with dots, like the traces of a water-filled balloon that hit the floor and shattered.

"What is this?" Director Wang Delei's tone was full of fear, and the scene in front of him reminded him of the scene that happened in the office a few days ago, a scene he could never forget.

Although he was asking, he had already faintly guessed the correct answer in his heart.

"It's just some little tricks to make the bloodstains appear." Sherlock pursed his mouth, and said calmly: "Look at this trophy, Mr. Wang Delei, there are extraordinarily many bloodstains on it."

"I'm afraid you are going to visit Scotland Yard with us." Di Renjie smiled and put his right hand on Supervisor Wang Delei's shoulder.

Wang Delei's body trembled violently.

ps: When Sherlock and Watson met for the first time, Sherlock had happily introduced to each other a reagent he had just invented, which could show bloodstains under extreme conditions, but Conan Doyle did not This reagent is mentioned in the follow-up story, and the principle and composition of the reagent are not described in detail.

Some people think that Sherlock is referring to the luminol reagent, which was used in the field of criminal investigation after the 20s and 30s. It can make the washed blood stains produce light blue fluorescence under low light conditions. .From a functional point of view, it is more consistent with the reagent proposed by Sherlock, and considering that the chemical composition of luminol can be synthesized stably by chemical means in the 19s, so here the author also assumes what Sherlock proposed The developed reagent is the luminol reagent.
