Chapter 89: The Death of a Teacher in St. Paul [(4)]
Sherlock doesn't say it, and Connie knows.
"This must have something to do with the case."
Lestrade had stretched his neck.
Who is Philomena?
It has something to do with the case?
How did he not know!
#简直狗带#
"The woman is Philomena's governess. At least three days ago. Sherlock spoke.
Connie was stunned, that woman?
Wait a minute.
Words from three days ago......
"The day they quit is their wedding day!" Connie exclaimed.
Leestrade, who was next door, couldn't help but pull the curtain and came over to discuss: "Maybe she just resigned to get married, which doesn't mean that this case has something to do with Philomena's family." ”
It's never that simple.
Connie frowned and looked at Sherlock, who had a calm face: "...... Since when do you start monitoring...... No, what did you find in the previous surveillance logs? "Her fault, how could Sherlock have the patience to spy on a family all day?
And he concluded that it had something to do with the people of Philomena's family, and that the lady who died must have had a real relationship with someone in the villa.
Sherlock glanced at her, a startling word sticking out of his mouth.
"Nina Berkeley."
Berkeley......
Philomena was an only daughter and had no relatives in the family.
And the name Nina is clearly a woman's name.
So there is only one candidate left - Nina, who takes her husband's surname, Philomena's mother.
#天啦噜这个恶意满满的世界#
"I believe Berkeley should know the truth about his wife." Sherlock came out coldly with a mocking tone, but it was only a flash, and the main theme was still full of disdain.
“…… So Mrs. Berkeley and... Have a personal affair? Connie gasped.
"So is Nina unwilling to part with her, or is Mr. Berkeley furious and murderous when he finds out?" Connie was terrified of Philomena at the moment.
#人生简直不能更糟糕#
"It's not like that, I knew that her husband died first, if it was because of the woman's problem, then she should be the first to be killed." Lestrade rolled up the quilt and looked at the two of them.
Connie couldn't deny it: "It's also possible that it was a deliberate threat, isn't it...... Then there is no need to kill cruelly, not to mention that the Berkeley family is so rich, □□ it is not a matter of minutes, and they will not hire such a stupid killer......"
Connie's muttering succeeded in causing Lestrade to blush.
"How dare you say, what will happen when the time comes to you?"
Connie hurriedly pointed at Lestrade: "Bah, don't talk nonsense, so you won't come to me first!" ”
The look of horror made Lestrade happy again.
"Okay, just kidding. If he really comes, our police will definitely arrest him immediately! "A police detective with a strong sense of justice, but it's a pity that the way he looks like he is curled up in the quilt and shows his leg hair is too stupid.
Connie looked at the hot-blooded Lestrade, and Sherlock, who had completely excluded them from attention, shook her head helplessly, wrapped herself in the quilt, and saw that Zhou Gong had gone.
It's a good idea to be a topic terminator at a time like this.
#其实只是因为她用脑过度所以困了#
For a while, the years were quiet in the ward, and only the sound of the pointer ticking.
#所以岁月静好是什么鬼#
But Connie slept soundly and deeply.
Nor would the hands take her back to that dark and windy night.
In the middle of the night, she was woken up by the ringing of her phone.
That's the sound you'll remember when the battery level drops below 10 percent.
Connie was woken up to look at the time, and it was only three in the morning.
The black light was blinding, she slowed down her movements, for fear of waking up the people on both sides, and under the dim mobile phone light, she shrank into the quilt, a little worried.
I didn't bring my phone charger.
Seems like Sherlock brought?
She sat up slowly, ready to rummage through the cabinet to the side, the dim light of her phone shining next door, froze as she swept over the empty pillow.
In the bed next door, there was no one.
What about Sherlock!?
Connie suddenly panicked.
Probably going to the toilet, is it really good to be so timid?
Connie secretly cursed herself in her heart, the hospital has bodyguards, and Lestrade is also there, what are you afraid of......
Her hand suddenly froze, and Connie thought of something, and suddenly turned back to take her phone and shine it on the bed next door, which was a curtain that had been pulled up.
Panic suddenly surged over my heart.
Rushing to the switch of the electric light, she "snapped" and turned on all the lights, then rushed over and opened the curtain.
No one.
On the empty bed, there was only a slightly messy quilt.
The windows and doors were closed, and the street lights outside the windows were dark.
What about people......
What about people!?
Connie rushed to the door and opened it at once.
"Anyone?" She called, but no one answered, and the people who were guarding the door were gone.
#什么情况! This horror movie-like scene is here again!? #
"Connie?" A crisp male voice rang out in the corner.
"Ahh Connie subconsciously exclaimed slightly.
"What's wrong!?" The man rushed over, and Connie saw that it was a young man from the police station who was following Lestrade.
Although he is black, he is very handsome.
Connie took a deep breath, "Did you see Detective Lestrade and Sherlock?" As soon as I woke up I found that they were gone, so I was a little worried......"
The young man frowned: "I haven't left, I just went to the toilet, someone in the hospital is watching, it should be fine, probably it's convenient to go." ”
Connie walked over to Sherlock's bed and put her hand under his covers, which were already cold, and it would take nearly ten minutes or so.
"How long have you been there?" She asked.
The young man looked at the time: "About three or four minutes." ”
Connie frowned and walked over to Lestrade's bedside, his bed still slightly warm.
That's weird.
#难道夏洛克天生体亮? #
"Don't worry, I'll take a look." Probably because Connie was a little worried.
"You stay in the room, don't run around, close the door, I'll be back later."
Connie nodded, and when he walked away, she closed the door, locking it by the way.
Three minutes later, there was a knock at the door.
A fidgeting Connie heard two footsteps and immediately ran behind the door in surprise to unlock it.
The small voice was muffled in Connie's joy, but for a moment, her pupils were filled with surprise and fear.
Like the bark of a withered tree, a pair of terrifying eyes protrude from the pitted skin.
No, that can't be called human eyes anymore.
For a moment, Connie realized.
#世界上真的有一种死法是可以称之为被吓死的#
Not just the terrifying countenance, but also its terrifying eyes and the darkness hidden under its black robes.
Halfway through her breath, Connie felt like she could die in that breath.
It just stood silently, looking at her like a dead spirit.
"Who are you?" For a long time, the person opposite did not move, and Connie saw the police officer who fell behind at a glance.
Actually put down such a tall young man!
She was afraid, but forced herself to calm down.
What's more, it hasn't done anything to her yet.
So in the silent confrontation, she was the first to speak.
"......" it did not answer.
Withered hands stretched out from their wide black robes.
That should be a scary thing.
Connie seemed to be taken into a dream, and all the qiē became numb.
She actually stretched out her hand and took the hands that were as terrifying as the bark of a dead tree.
She took a step, the cold marble reaching her eyes through her skin.
All of them became confused.
"Where are you taking me?" She didn't resist in the slightest.
Connie herself was surprised.
Why didn't she resist?
She shouldn't have followed this person, right?
"......" it still didn't speak.
The withered palm only lightly rested on Connie, but Connie found herself holding its hand tightly, the phone in her hand falling to the ground, and she followed the wide black robe, disappearing into the silent hallway.
No one saw them.
On the half-lit mobile phone page, there is a text message that has not yet been sent:.
