what do you think sherlock

Chapter 140 Revealing ([-] in [-])

"Boom," a door was pushed open by Lestrade: "This is it."

He walked to a mortuary bed and lifted the white cotton cloth covering the corpse, revealing the body of Miss Alena under it.

"We found her in the lake in Hyde Park. She had been soaking in the water for more than a day when we fished it up. Fortunately, the weather is not too hot. Of course, no matter what, the death of the drowned person is always the same. Somewhat scary." Lestrade introduced to Sherlock and Di Renjie.

"Her head had an obvious impact injury. We found blood and impact marks on a rock in the lake, so we believe that Miss Alena accidentally hit a rock in the lake during the process of throwing herself into the lake. This wound, but the main cause of death should still be drowning." After speaking, Lestrade looked at the two with probing eyes, thought for a moment, and asked:
"Do you have any different opinions? I think you detained Director Wang Delei. Does he have anything to do with this case?"

"It doesn't have much to do with it, but if there are no accidents, there is a high probability that he is the real culprit who killed Miss Aliena." Sherlock said solemnly.

"Oh, so it doesn't matter, wait, what are you talking about? He is the real murderer of Miss Alena? No, didn't Miss Adina commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake?" Lestrade said in surprise, he did not He was surprised to think that there were so many things in Sherlock's short sentence.

Sherlock looked up at Di Renjie, and said impatiently, "Are you coming? Or"

Di Renjie waved his hand humbly, he saw Sherlock's inner desire: "You are better at this aspect."

Seeing this, Sherlock nodded contentedly, and then said in a calm voice: "There is no problem with the judgment of the cause of death. Judging from the performance of the corpse, Miss Alena really died of drowning.

"The mud at the bottom of the lake can be seen on her fingernails, which are the marks left by the drowning person when he struggled in the water; there is fluid in the mouth, nose and respiratory tract, and the liquid will gushe out when pressed, indicating that Miss Alena fell into the water At that time, the respiratory system is still in a working state.

"These evidences can prove that Miss Aliena still had traces of life when she fell into the water. However, before she fell into the water, Miss Aliena had already suffered life-threatening injuries."

"How do you see that? Mr. Sherlock." Lestrade believed in Sherlock intellectually. After all, he knew that Sherlock was far more professional than him in solving cases; It's a little hard to accept, because they have checked Miss Aliena's body several times, and they didn't find any signs of damage other than the drowning and the wound on her forehead.

"You have to watch this." Sherlock stretched out a hand and carefully pulled open the wound on Miss Aliena's forehead with metal tweezers, revealing the bones under the blurred flesh:
"Different weapons will produce different wounds. The lake in Hyde Park has been artificially trimmed. Most of the various stones placed in it are landscape stones purchased by the park management department. These stones have round shapes and rough surfaces, especially the one you mentioned. The stone with Miss Alena's blood on it, these two characteristics are particularly obvious. If Miss Aliena hit this stone exposed on the lake with her head when she was throwing herself into the lake, then her wound should be It is a typical blunt impact injury, but the reality is that when we look at this wound, in addition to the superficial blunt impact injury, we can also see that the inner bone has clear marks of sharp impact."

"Sharp marks?" Lestrade approached the wound on Aliena's forehead curiously.

"Look at the section of this muscle tissue, which is clean and straight; and the dent on this bone, although there are irregular cracks, can still show the initial signs of sharp objects. From these two points Look, Miss Alena was injured once before her forehead hit the landscape stone in the lake." Sherlock explained in detail:

"But this is only one aspect. Let's look at Miss Aliena's clothes."

Sherlock stood up, lifted the white cloth down a bit, pointed to a trace left by dried blood on the dress Miss Alena wore before her death, and said:
"Let's take a look at the bloodstain on the clothes here. It has a relatively clear boundary. If Miss Aliena didn't suffer the impact injury on her forehead until the moment before she fell into the lake, the blood flowing from the wound would be directly diluted by the lake water Therefore, the blood stains on her clothes will be large in size, light in color and unclear in borders. But the reality is that there are two different blood stains on Miss Aliena's clothes, one is the same as what we just mentioned The inferred one matches, but the other has a relatively clear boundary."

"That's why you think that Miss Aliena was fatally injured once before jumping into the lake." Lestrade suddenly realized.

The corners of Sherlock's mouth slowly curled up: "Your Excellency, you don't really believe that Miss Alena really chose to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake because her feelings were hurt?"

"You mean to say."

"John, please invite Mr. Wang Delei outside the door." Sherlock said to Di Renjie. Di Renjie walked outside the door very tacitly, and pulled Wang Delei who was detained outside the door. He knew that Sherlock's performance had come. To the last ring.

Wang Delei walked into the room in a little silence. Under the deliberate arrangement of Di Renjie and Sherlock, he had just listened to the entire reasoning process.

"Do you have anything else to say? Director Wang Delei." Sherlock said politely.

"You've made it very clear, plus the performance in the office, to be honest, I don't think I have anything to justify." Director Wang Delei lowered his head and said in a difficult tone.

"No, actually what I'm asking is, do you want to say something to Miss Aliena? In front of her dead body." Sherlock recalled the encounter with Aliena on the carriage before, it was an optimistic and cheerful The young woman left a good impression on him and Di Renjie.

"I" Director Wang Delei opened his mouth and said intermittently:

"This was actually an accident. I didn't want to hurt Miss Aliena."

Director Wang Delei covered his face in pain, and sobbed, "She is a pillar of the theater. Many people come to our theater just for Miss Alena. How can I be willing to accept such an important theater star?" What about losing her? If she hadn't reacted so violently at the beginning, if she hadn't struck first, I wouldn't have fought back at all, and I wouldn't have accidentally missed her."

"This passage is very sincere." Sherlock curled his lips speechlessly and said, "Maybe Miss Alena can't help getting up and forgiving you after hearing this."

Di Renjie showed a helpless smile, although he didn't want to admit it, but Sherlock's hell joke was getting worse and worse.

"That means you are admitting that the deaths of Miss Aliena and Miss Queenie were indeed caused by you?" Di Renjie brought the topic back on track.

"No, actually I didn't intend to harm the two of them at the beginning, I just hoped to use their sacrifice to expose the true face of that bastard Granville." Director Wang Delei squatted on the ground in pain, his voice trembling uncontrollably:

"But what I didn't expect was that Aliena would break in suddenly that day, with such intense emotions, the two of us quarreled loudly in the office, and even turned to the point of fighting. In the end, I accidentally dropped the trophy in a hurry. I threw it on her forehead. Seeing her lying in a pool of blood, I was terrified at that time, so I quickly asked someone to put the unconscious Aliena into a bag, and send it to the lake to fake it as her because she couldn't bear the mental stress. The illusion of committing suicide by throwing oneself into a lake.”

"What about Queenie, if Miss Aliena's death was an accident, then what is the reason for Queenie? Is it because she knew too much inside information, so you have to choose to kill people to silence it?" Di Renjie Taking advantage of Wang Delei's mental breakdown at the moment, he asked for more details.

"I didn't kill Queenie. Queenie did commit suicide. But I can't say that I am not responsible. I did force her with words and let her fall into a decision with almost no choice. To be honest, when I saw her from I wasn't surprised to jump upstairs." Director Wang Delei's words were full of pain, but besides the pain, there was a kind of relaxation after revealing the truth.

"You are really a devil. To satisfy your own desires, you killed two innocent girls." Lestrade's tone was filled with unstoppable anger. The other party came with two punches.

"Devil! You say I am a demon! But if I am a demon, what is Granville? He is the real demon." As if he was stimulated by something, Wang Delei's voice suddenly increased several decibels, obviously He was still on the verge of collapse before, but at this moment, raging anger flashed in his eyes:

"Do you know how many young and beautiful ladies he harmed? How many people lost their lives early because they couldn't stand his harm and became depressed."

"So you want to say that you are actually a righteous knight, in order to help the ladies who were hurt by the Earl of Granville, and to seek justice for them, you designed such a case?" Sherlock said mockingly: "The result Granville only lost his official position, but two young and beautiful ladies lost their reputation and lives because of your plan."

"You can put it this way, I know I'm sorry for Queenie and Alena, but I don't regret it, and I never feel that I am a righteous party. I just want to help Jane get revenge." Wang Delei said with a sneer .

"Jane? Who is this?" Sherlock felt that this case was getting more and more interesting.

"That was my first love, a young actress with a voice kissed by an angel, she was so beautiful, so moving, and so sunny, just like a bright rising star. But because of being violated by that old beast in Granville, not only lost his bright future, but also fell into a depression." Wang Delei fell into painful memories:

"Then she left London and was told that she went to New York and found a new life where no one knew her. But I never let it go, and if it wasn't for that bastard Granville, Jane would have been happy with me of living together"

"Perhaps she doesn't want you to avenge her at all, not to mention that because of your revenge, it also caused the death of two equally young and promising actresses." Di Renjie shook his head helplessly, but Wang Delei's eyes at this moment There was only paranoid madness left, and Di Renjie knew that in this situation, the other party might not be able to listen to what he said.

"You don't understand, you don't understand at all, I still often see Jane in my dreams, see her encouraging me, and see her happy for my revenge."

"Forget it, there is no need to say any more, Officer Lestrade, please take him down, I think the ins and outs of the whole case are already clear." Sherlock said to Lestrade.

"Okay." Lestrade no longer had any doubts at this time, and simply took Wang Delei away neatly. The almost crazy director of the theater will be temporarily detained in Scotland Yard for a few days, waiting for the court trial.

"I hope we can give Miss Aliena a satisfactory explanation." Sherlock said to Di Renjie with a pointed look.

"It seems that it's time for us to contact that Mr. Patrick." Di Renjie immediately understood Sherlock's hint and responded with a smile.

Just when both of them thought that the matter had come to an end and they could finally rest for a while, a figure hurried in from the outside.

"Kelly, why are you here?" Di Renjie felt bad, as if his overtime trip might not be over in a short time.

"Finally found you." Kelly said out of breath, "I just received the news that in the Emerald Hotel in Westminster, there are suspicious people appearing in and out of the hotel. It is suspected that they appeared briefly in the Haylot Cemetery before. That guy."
