Chapter 65: Sherlock from London
Sherlock Holmes, a detective from London. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Private detectives have developed into an important profession in crime investigation in the UK. Private detectives play an important role in general cases where it is inconvenient or inconvenient for the police to intervene. However, ordinary private investigators only investigate civil cases and minor criminal cases, and cannot get involved in the design of state secrets and government agencies, and have little contact with the police investigation.
However, Sherlock is very close to the local police, and is popular with the London police inspectors because of his excellent investigative skills. And this time, Sherlock and his partner Watson came to Liverpool because of the man who attacked Cui Yuanyuan.
"Sherlock?" Ye Chen took the two people at the door, "May I ask if you have anything?" ”
"Hello, my name is John Watson." The man who had been interrupted earlier spoke. "The two of us are private investigators from London, and we're here because of a case."
Hearing the other party's explanation, Ye Chen was even more puzzled, why was he always involved with the case now.
"The case? Does it have anything to do with me? ”
"Can you invite us in and talk?" Sherlock asked.
"Okay, wait a minute." Ye Chen walked in first and told Cui Yuanyuan. "Yuanyuan, two detectives came outside, saying that they were asking about the case, and if it was inconvenient, you would go back to the room."
"It's okay, I'll just sit here for a while." Cui Yuanyuan took Parker to sit on the edge of the table.
Inviting the two detectives into the house, Ye Chen brought the two of them two cups of coffee.
"Now you can tell me what the case is, right?" Ye Chen and the two sat opposite each other in the living room.
Sherlock didn't look at the mouth when he came in, but casually observed the apartment.
Watson spoke, "Presumably this lady has just been attacked by a man, right?" ”
Watson's first sentence surprised Ye Chen, and he stood up with a pout, glaring at the two people in front of him. "How do you know?"
Because he didn't know the other party's situation, Ye Chen's right hand behind his back was holding a magic card, as long as the other party had any abnormal movement, Ye Chen immediately played the magic card in his hand.
As soon as Ye Chen took out the magic card, he found that the two people sitting on the sofa were staring at Ye Chen vigilantly.
"Man, put your wand away." Sherlock stared at Ye Chen with a wary expression, squinting his eyes and said.
"Wand, I don't have a wand." Ye Chen wondered why the other party knew about the wand, but he was relieved to think that the attacker before also had a wand.
Watson stood in the middle at this time to ease the atmosphere, "Friend, we have no ill intentions, please put away your wand." ”
"I don't really have a wand." After Ye Chen put away the magic card, he stretched out his right hand hidden behind him.
Seeing the other party's empty hands, the magic fluctuations in Sherlock's feeling disappeared, but the feeling just now was indeed real. Is there any hidden trick on the other side, but he didn't dwell on this issue.
"Alright, let's talk about that." Finally, the atmosphere eased down, and there was no longer the tension just now. Watson then explained: "Actually, we also came here to hunt down this murderer, from London all the way here. ”
"Your attacker is Merck Graeber, a werewolf with a vicious temperament, and has killed many ladies in London."
After Watson's introduction, Ye Chen learned about this werewolf named Merck. Appeared in London a month ago and killed 3 ladies, each time slitting the victim's throat with a dagger and then drinking blood from the wound. So every time the victim's blood dried up, and the whole body was like a dried corpse.
Sherlock and the two also found Merck's foothold in London through clues and fought with him. In the course of the confrontation, Sherlock found that although the opponent's fighting skills were very poor, his strength and speed were far superior to ordinary people, and he barely fought against Sherlock.
Who would have thought that Merck would suddenly take out his wand while fighting, if it weren't for the fact that Sherlock and the two were experienced, they would almost be killed by Merck. Thankfully, Watson forced Merck back with the help of a pistol.
"Merck can use magic, how can you force her to Liverpool?" Ye Chen is very strange, that is, the two of them can use pistols, but as long as Merck pays more attention when fighting, these two detectives basically have no chance to resist.
"Hehe, it seems that you really don't know." Watson smiled and patted the suitcase. "In the face of wizards, we have long developed a kind of anti-magic equipment, with shields and cloaks, and there are many styles."
In a huge country, there are naturally still ordinary people, and it is impossible for wizards to completely hide from the world. As a result, some people have developed the right equipment for wizards' magic. Of course, the help of wizards is indispensable, so the relationship between wizards and ordinary people is also complicated.
"I see, it seems that people in this world cannot be underestimated, no wonder for thousands of years, wizards have never been interested in dominating the country, not only because of the small number of people, but also because of targeted forces." Ye Chen also chuckled in his heart, Xin Yu didn't act recklessly when he first got the superpower, maybe he was wiped out as soon as he came out.
"During this time, because of our pursuit, Merck ran to the city of Liverpool, and according to the current intelligence, no one killed by Merck has been found. This woman should be Merck's first target. ”
"So what about this Merck, is he leaving Liverpool now?" Such a potential threat is hidden in the shadows, although Ye Chen is not afraid, but if he attacks Cui Yuanyuan again, Ye Chen will not dare to say that he can come to the rescue as soon as possible.
"He's definitely back." Hearing Ye Chen's inquiry, Sherlock, who was seated, spoke.
"Merck is a man who wants to take revenge, and he will kill the other person as long as he chooses his target." Sherlock analyzed to Ye Chen, "According to the previous clues, Merck missed the hunt again, and ambushed the victim for three more days. ”
"And he didn't know that the two of us were in Liverpool, so I guess he'd be here again." Sherlock seemed to have captured the psychology of the other party. "Merck is an extremely conceited werewolf, and he must have chosen to attack where he was last time."
"Really?" If this is the case, Ye Chen can wait and then solve him, otherwise it will be too dangerous for Cui Yuanyuan to be stared at by him.
"Mr. Ye, we will ambush this for a few days nearby, now please tell me about the situation of Merck's attack that day, we need to arrange the next work." Watson took Sherlock's words and explained the purpose of their trip.
"Okay." Ye Chen told everything that happened yesterday, but he hid part of his ability, just talking about the magic he used.
After listening to Ye Chen's introduction, Sherlock smiled secretly, but didn't say anything. Obviously, he sensed the loophole in Ye Chen's words, but he didn't point it out.
