The places that can be found in the bedroom have been turned over, but there is no trace of rummaging in the study. The murderer seems to know that the thing he is looking for is in the bedroom, not anywhere else, and only the bedroom on the second floor of the entire store has been rummaged through in such a large area, and the other rooms have not been rummaged through.

Corporal Lynn and a few people searched carefully on the second floor for a long time but found nothing, and Su Hang himself kept observing on the second floor, checking all the suspicious places in the house. As I walked back to the atrium on the second floor and up the stairs, I couldn't help but look at the pictures on the wall again.

Su Hang found a beautiful woman in one of the photos, with long blond hair, casually draped, oblique bangs just crossed the eyelids, long eyelashes blinking, and charming eyes as if speaking.

A dress with a white pattern, but it doesn't feel ordinary at all. Around her neck she wore a white round crystal necklace with a small oval sterling silver pendant hanging from it, and in the center of the oval pendant was set a gemstone like a star in the night sky, but the gem was red, exuding a bewitching charm. The woman in the photo is becoming more and more gorgeous.

Next to the woman stood a tall, middle-aged man with a high nose and deep eyes, gently hugging her. Looking at them, Su Hang's heart naturally appeared with the words "talented and beautiful". From the background of the photo, it can be seen that the two of them are standing on a cliff, and the woman's face is full of happy smiles, and that smile can be seen from the photo that is caused by the happiness in her heart. The man is also smiling and hugging the woman, and the scene presented in the photo makes the viewer feel a full sense of happiness.

When Su Hang was looking at the photos on the wall, the police officer who was following Inspector Upton walked out of the bedroom, followed the photos that Su Hang was staring at, and said: "The middle-aged man in the photo is John, and next to him is his second wife, Ms. Beverly."

"She is a beautiful and kind lady." At this time, Inspector Upton, who had just come out of the bedroom, heard what the police officer said, looked at the photos on the wall and said.

"The Inspector knows her?" Su Hang looked at Inspector Upton and asked.

"Madame Beverly used to be a field nurse during the Battle of the Marne, and I happened to be a private on the front line at the time, and once I was injured by a gunshot wound, Beverly cleaned my wound."

"In '17, I was wounded while saving a second lieutenant on the battlefield and was allowed to recuperate in London. After the war, the second lieutenant, in gratitude to me, recommended me to his friends and seconded me to the Criminal Investigation Division, and later the upper command was transferred to the headquarters of the police force. ”

"I later met her while working on a case where she was married to Mr. John. I later heard about her that after the Battle of the Marne, their nurses were transferred back to the City of London and placed in Wellington Hospital. ”

It was in the hospital that Mr. John met her, and the two of them fell into the river of love as if they had been shot by Cupid's arrows. Half a year later, the two were married in the Little St. Martin's Church. ”

"It was our last meeting at the hospital, and I was tasked by the higher authorities to leave the city of London for a while, and I couldn't go to their wedding, but when I came back, I heard that Beverly had died of stomach cancer."

"I asked John when it was, and he told me that they were diagnosed with stomach cancer before they got married, but the love between them was not defeated by the disease, and the treatment after marriage had little effect, and Beverly wanted to leave the most beautiful self to John, and refused treatment."

"I asked the doctor about it, and the cost of treatment is very large, and there is no guarantee that it will be cured. Beverly is a nurse, she knows the disease better than anyone else, and she doesn't want John to waste useless money, so she asks John to take her to the place she has always wanted to go, Provence. ”

"There they spent their last and best days, Beverly did not return to London, she spent the last days of her life in Provence, and John held a funeral in the local cemetery, leaving her in the happiest and most memorable place of her life." At this time, Inspector Upton looked at the photos on the wall, fell into deep memories, and slowly recounted the past.

In the time that followed, Inspector Upton unconsciously recounted some interesting stories about his time in the field medical area with Lady Beverly. Corporal Lynn, who had gone from the second floor to the first floor to "hang out", heard the discussion in the atrium upstairs, walked up from downstairs, and listened quietly.

After listening to Upton's story, Su Hang felt that he had liked Mrs. Beverly, and Mrs. Beverly also had a trace of affection for him. Whether it's affection, or the "degree" that transcends good feelings, they once met by fate, but the war made it impossible for them to be together, and time diluted the emotion in his heart for Mrs. Beverly.

So much so that when he started to drive to John's store, he did not show familiarity with John's family. Su Hang could see that Inspector Upton was deeply buried in his heart for that memory, and if it weren't for this case, I am afraid that he would never think of him for the rest of his life.

"The gunshot wound hurt my left shoulder and abdomen, and the medical treatment on the battlefield was limited, and until now, my left shoulder has a sore feeling every time it rains, which is the key to remembering that time, and the sore spot has strengthened the picture of that time," Inspector Upton sighed as he looked at the painting.

"Private of the first class, you are seriously injured, you need to rest."

"Are you feeling better? This is a newly arrived medicine that will soothe your sore spots. ”

"You are really strong, you don't shout like those other soldiers, like a valiant knight."

"Upton, this is the flower I picked, I hope it will give you a good mood."

..............., a piece of memory appeared in front of Inspector Upton when he looked at the woman in the photo, some beautiful, some sour, no matter what kind of memory constantly reminded him of the "she" he had walked in his life journey.

Chapter 51: Curiosity Reigns

.

What the police officer said to Su Hang caused the memories in Upton's heart, and looking at the photos on the wall made Upton reopen the door in the depths of his memory, recalling a lot of past events.

In fact, in Su Hang's view, it was precisely because of that war that they met and got acquainted, but it was also because of the war that they could not go further, and they each embarked on different life paths. This may be what the Chinese often say!

While everyone was still immersed in Upton's experience, Su Hang heard about the ruby crystal necklace in Mrs. Beverly's photo, and Upton mentioned that he had seen it in the Times, in a promotional column about the Christie's auction house.

"Inspector Upton, is there any news about this necklace?"

Su Hang immediately interrupted Inspector Upton, who was about to continue recounting the experience, and pointed to the necklace in the photo and asked.

Upton was slightly unhappy when Su Hang interrupted him, and cursed this hateful guy a hundred times in his heart, but Su Hang didn't know about this, and he didn't care if he knew! However, he still looked at the necklace that Su Hang was referring to, frowned and said: "It seems that there was a relevant record in the Times last year, but I forgot which issue it was." ”

Upton glanced at the police officers beside Su Hang, and secretly thought: Let this bastard work, you will know to listen to the story.

"To investigate the necklace?" Upton said as he looked at the police officer who had told Su Hang the news of Lady Beverly. If it weren't for the bastard himself, he wouldn't have fallen into the memory and then been interrupted again.

"Okay, Inspector." The officer turned around and walked downstairs for some reason.

"Inspector, how much did this necklace sell off in the first place?" Su Hang asked Inspector Upton again.

"You're asking this question like you've seen the Queen? The same ridiculous! Inspector Upton glared at Su Hang angrily and said.

"I can only see such auctions in the newspapers." Inspector Upton said again in a huff.

In the opinion of Superintendent Upton, Su Hang is too unable to speak, knowing that he is just a small inspector, and asking himself if he knows the situation of the auctions in the auction, such a large auction does not have a certain economic strength and can't even enter the door, let alone the situation of the lots inside.

Even if Inspector Upton could get in, it would be a joke in vain, and he couldn't shoot anything, and the cheapest lot in it was enough for him to struggle for more than ten years. That is, the mass media such as newspapers can make middle and lower-class people like them have an understanding of the activities of the current level, and it may be useful to read more information on them! It's useless to be a boredom reliever!

However, this time Upton Inspector is to blame Su Hang, Su Hang really doesn't know the situation, he has the memory of two people in his mind, Aldrich has never been in contact with the auction since he was a child, and the materials on their ships are all traded with familiar merchants after arriving in any country, and sometimes they go to the local area to carry out rare barter, but they have never seen such an auction.

Su Hang, who comes from another world, knows about auctions, but in other worlds, auctions are divided into private and public. The former is an auction of items by invited guests, which is limited to their own circle. The latter is a lot of scope, the face of the people is open, no matter what class you are, what status, even if you are a poor wanderer, you can participate in the auction, but the premise is that you have to pay the corresponding "money" after the auction, if you dare not pay the "account" after the auction, that is to pay legal responsibility.

After the memory is reorganized, the awakened Su Hang has been living in the hotel where Yaheng is located. Irish Town is a small town, even if it is connected by sea logistics, but there has never been an auction, and Yaheng can't tell him these things for no reason, which is why Su Hang would ask Upton Inspector such a stupid question that anyone understands.

When Inspector Upton talked about the auction, Su Hang thought that a large-scale auction like this was public, but since Inspector Upton was concerned, he should have some understanding, who knew that he would not be qualified!

At this moment, Corporal Lynn looked at Su Hang beside him and whispered: "Christie's is not open to civilians and the lower class, only for the middle and upper class people and foreign wealthy businessmen. ”

"Even the Scotland Yard inspector is not eligible for the auction."

"The only exception to the auction is the journalists, and the news of the auction is usually only seen in the newspapers."

"Of course, there can be accidents, if there is a criminal case in the auction house, then the police can justifiably go in." Corporal Lynn glanced at Inspector Upton and said with a wicked smile at Su Hang.

"Hey! That's fine, too! ”

After Su Hang and Corporal Lynn muttered a few words, Inspector Upton continued the memories that had not been finished just now, and said in the process of listening that the ruby crystal necklace, John and Lady Beverly could not have such a treasure, and if there were, then maybe Mrs. Beverly would have been saved.

"I always felt that this necklace had something to do with John's attack," Su Hang touched his chin and looked at Corporal Lynn.

"Look again," Corporal Lynn said in a deep voice.

"Okay."

Inspector Upton listened to Corporal Lynn, walked into the study and carefully inspected all the places in the room where the necklace could be placed, and watched Inspector Upton looking for the necklace, and Corporal Lynn also searched in every corner of the second floor.

Su Hang searched every corner of the study and bedroom, but still found nothing. Corporal Lynn and Corporal Lynn also rummaged on the second floor to no avail, and left the second floor one after another to look for clues on the first floor.

"Hey! Nothing was found. ”

After searching for a long time to no avail, Su Hang sat down on the window chair in the study, ready to rest for a while, and inadvertently looked at the open record book on the table, and found that in the upper left corner of the right page of the record book and the gap between the left page, there were very small English letters, on which were written the letter r, and the open pages happened to be the second and third pages.

"Such a small word, is it to exercise people's eyesight!" Su Hang stared at his notebook and muttered to himself.

Driven by curiosity, Su Hang flipped to the first page of the notebook and found the letters b in the same position, and then found the letters i, e, l, a, and g between pages four and thirteen.

Su Hang combined the letters according to the number of pages and the word brieg appeared, looking at the words formed, Su Hang didn't remember this word!

"What a mess, dizzy to watch!"

Looking at these letters, Su Hang shuffled the combination again, and soon a well-read word appeared, 'gabriel'. This time the word is a name, the meaning of 'Gabriel', and Su Hang feels that this time it should be right.

I picked up the pen on the table and wrote the newly assembled name-like words on paper and looked at it.

At first, Su Hang didn't see the meaning of the name, but after reciting it a few times, he felt more and more as if he had heard it somewhere!

"Chu, are you upstairs?" There was a loud cry of inquiry from downstairs.

"I'm upstairs, did I find anything?" Su Hang responded while flipping through the book.

No one responded, and Su Hang continued to look for what he was looking for.

When the tea in the teacup was about to bottom, Su Hang heard the sound of conversation downstairs, followed by the sound of footsteps coming from downstairs to the upper floor.
