Corporal Lynn walked into the study and saw Su Hang looking through the notepad, walked to the table with a bag and put it on the table, looked at Su Hang and said, "Chu, the camera is there but it's broken, I asked the police to buy three identical Bibles and come back." ”

"Okay."

"I want to go back to the hotel and try to crack it, but these books are evidence from the scene of the crime after all, and I can't take them away. Then you can only take pictures and record it, but it's no problem to have the same Bible marked again," Su Hang said as he looked at Corporal Lynn, who was sitting across the table.

"Let's mark these and take them away."

"Are the notes still written?"

"Mark it all!" Su Hang looked at the John's commentaries on the Bible and thought about what if it would be useful!

"Alas! Let's get started, it's a lot of work! Corporal Lynn looked at the notes and muttered, feeling like he had dug a hole and jumped into it, too many mouths!

Chapter 55: The Beggar's Words

.

John was a bookworm, and almost every page of the three Bibles he had read had its annotations, and he had his own understanding of the similarities in the three Bibles, and he commented on them according to what he had learned in combination with what he had learned.

The Catholic "God" and the Christian "God" were the same in John's view, and both were supreme beings in the hearts of his followers, but under a different name. Maybe the real two are one person! It's just that later interpreters have adopted their own ideas according to their ideas, and have used them to establish their own religious beliefs.

At the beginning of both books, John wrote, "God can be God, he can be the Creator, he can be the supreme being of any man's heart, they exist in the untouchable, man looks to them, their idea is the faith of man, this is the value of their existence." ”

Catholic:

And when the work of the Lord's creation was finished on the seventh day, he rested on the seventh day and stopped all the work he had done.

God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on this day God stopped all the work of creation that he had done:

This is the origin of the creation of heaven and earth.

Christian:

And on the seventh day the work of God's creation was finished, and on the seventh day he rested from all his work.

God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on that day God rested from all his creation.

This was the origin of the creation of the heavens and the earth, in the day when the Lord God made them.

There are many of the same sentences in the Bible, and John wrote down his feelings and thoughts in the margins of each page, which accumulated a lot of them, which also made Su Hang and Corporal Lynn busy!

In the process of transcribing, Su Hang had to say that John was indeed very talented, and combined his feelings about religion with the feelings of the Bible in the blank space of the book, and wrote very interesting annotations.

"Corporal, these are two cups of sweetened coffee." A tall police officer walked in from outside the house, holding a tray and two cups of steaming coffee, which were placed in front of Su and Hangzhou.

"Thank you!" Corporal Lynn said after glancing at the tall officer.

"No thanks, you're busy first." As he spoke, he left the study with the tray.

"He's promising!" Su Hang happened to drink it, and someone brought coffee to drink.

"There are many such people in this era, and often one thing inadvertently helps them, and the future becomes extraordinary."

Corporal Lynn didn't drink coffee, but looked at Su Hang and said.

"Are you talking about the one who left without saying goodbye?"

"What do you think?" Corporal Lynn smiled, bowed his head again, and copied what little was left.

Transcribing the annotations was boring and tedious, and the two of them chatted from time to time, which made Corporal Lynn even more interested in his experience. Time flies, and before you know it, an hour has passed. Corporal Su Hang and Corporal Lynn sometimes drank some coffee and transcribed, and sometimes chatted about the characteristics of London, and the main topic of the feature was the changing weather.

Even though there are many commentaries in the Bible, they are still solved with the joint efforts of Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Corporal Lynn picked up the Bible and checked it again, then put the book in a plastic bag and said, "We've searched the whole store, and we've found no new clues!" ”

"Then let's go back to the hotel first!" Su Hang stood up and said.

"Okay." Corporal Lynn picked up the original Bible and notebook on the table and headed downstairs.

At the same time, Su Hang picked up the plastic bag containing the newly marked Bible, followed him and walked downstairs.

Corporal Lynn and Su Hang walked to the door of the store and saw two police officers sitting and chatting, and Corporal Lynn handed over the Bibles and notes they found to the police officers and asked them to pass them on to Superintendent Upton.

After Corporal Lynn explained the matter to the police, he and Su Hang drove towards the hotel in the car arranged by Inspector Upton before leaving. On the way, Su Hang planned to go to see the injured Yaheng after dinner.

Next, on the way back to the hotel, the two were discussing the text code, and before they knew it, the car drove to the gate of the hotel. Su and Hangzhou got out of the car and happened to see Osmond who had just returned.

"Osmond, are you done with the ensign's business?"

"Yes, corporal."

"The police department is the main one, I just went to assist them, and it will be over soon." Osmond spotted them as soon as the two of them got out of the car in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and walked forward and said.

"The corporal and I have already discussed, and we will go to see Yaheng together after dinner." Su Hang and Corporal Lynn talked together with Osmond as they walked towards the hotel gate.

Walking into the hotel, Su Hang and several people separated one after another, returned to their respective rooms, and agreed to meet at the restaurant in half an hour.

Before going back to his room, Su Hang went to the restaurant and ordered a cup of strong coffee to send to his room. Back in the room, Su Hang put the Bible on the bedside table in the bedroom, and lay on the bed upside down, thinking about what happened today.

Su Hang has remembered the ruby necklace worn by Mrs. Beverly on the second floor of John's shop since he saw it, and the impression of the scarlet ruby is really unforgettable, and it feels like a vortex that attracts him all the time, even if it is just a photo. But I feel very strongly that this attack is related to the gemstone necklace.

According to the case report that Su Hang saw at lunch, several exquisite silverware exhibits of great value on the counter on the first floor were also missing. None of the other items were missing, and the missing silverware and tableware were placed in a relatively biased position, and the killer seemed to know what to take, and did not touch the other items in any way.

Combined with the attack on John, the messy scene in the bedroom and the contents of the case report, it can be basically confirmed that the murderer and John knew each other.

Su Hang's mind quickly flashed every scene after entering John's store, so as to compare it with the contents of the case report.

A knock on the door sounded, interrupting Su Hang, who was thinking about the case.

"What's the matter?" Su Hang stood up, walked into the living room and opened the door and asked.

"Sir, I'm here to bring you the coffee you ordered." Outside the door, a white-clad waiter said, pushing a dining cart.

"Come in!" Su Hang sat down on the sofa, leaned against the backrest and continued to think about what had just been interrupted.

The waiter parked the dining cart at the door and didn't push it in, walked in with a tray and put it on the coffee table, saw Su Hang leaning on the sofa as if thinking about things and ignored him, and walked out gently and closed the door.

Su Hang sat on the sofa and continued to think about the contents of the case report, the police officer found nothing when he questioned the surrounding neighbors, but a beggar under the street lamp across the street provided the police with new clues.

This is a beggar in his 40s with a crippled left leg, who often comes to the area, and the church and well-wishers like John will help him. He has been in this area for the past two days, because there is a clothing store moving, there will be unwanted items, but they can still be used, he will pick them up and use them.

During this time, the beggar repeatedly found a carriage in front of John's shop in the early morning, and each time it did not stay for long, and the groom was wearing a cloak and looking back and forth on the carriage, one of his two horses seemed to be in poor health and often defecated horse manure, which was why sometimes the beggar did not meet him, but still knew that he had been there.

This was in line with the information provided by the staff at Clayderman's restaurant, and Su Hang found a blank piece of paper and wrote down the clues he thought of on the paper.

Cloaked grooms, problematic horses, early mornings, beggars and restaurant workers.

The beggar also told the police officer who asked another news, a shop selling top hats on the left side of John's store was closed some time ago, it seems that the family went abroad, and a batch of top hats were on sale in those days, which made many people who don't usually wear hats come to buy hats, and everyone on the street knows about this.

The point is that a man in church clothes repeatedly went in and out of the top hat shop during lunch and dinner a few days after the store closed, and the beggar repeatedly noticed that the church member was curious about entering and leaving the store, so he told the police officers who were searching for it.

This is very strange in Su Hang's opinion, people only care about filling their stomachs during meal time, who will care about what others are doing, this is a good distraction time, as for restaurants, it is even more indifferent, today's lunchtime proves this.

Su Hang remembered that on the case report, there was an interrogation record as follows:

The officer asked, "Did the man in the church shirt make any weird noises inside after he entered the top hat shop?" ”

Beggar: "No, it didn't take long for the lights on the second floor to come on since the man entered, but it was very quiet inside, there were no strange noises, and nothing strange happened. ”

The officer asked, "Have you seen that man, how tall is he and what does he look like?" ”

Beggar: "It's a little far away, and there are other pedestrians coming and going on the street, blocking the view, and I can't see what he looks like, but his height should be about 1.75 meters." ”

Beggar: "By the way, he's wearing a black hat." ”

The officer asked, "What style?" ”

Beggar: "Black top hat." ”

The officer asked, "How do you determine the height of a person on a crowded street?" ”

Beggar: "The height of the door of John's shop is two meters, and this is one time when I came to meet the store to change the door, and I heard from John." ”

"This door is more than 1.8 meters tall, and sometimes there is a 'closed for business' sign, and the person's height is significantly lower than the door number."

The officer asked, "Where did you go after you left the John store yesterday?" ”

Beggar: "My friend and I went to a bar at the end of the street, where we gave out free beer, but I always felt that it didn't taste very good, it was very sour. ”

The officer asked, "Do you remember what the characteristics of that person were?" ”

Beggar: "Characteristics, if you want to talk about characteristics, that person seems to be a little thin, every time the wind blows on his body, the corners of his clothes are 'snapping' when the wind blows." ”

The officer asked, "What time did you get back to John's store?" ”

Beggar: "I don't know what time it is, but when I came back, it was already cordoned off by the police." ”

Su Hang recalled an interrogation record he saw, which was one of many inspection records, and he was also the one who knew the most about the situation, and the police were now investigating the suspect on a large scale according to the many clues they had obtained.

To be honest, Su Hang felt that this beggar's memory was really good, and he remembered any small things, could this be the legendary "member of the foreign beggar gang"!

"Why didn't the real murderer hire someone to go to John's shop in the first place, instead of going himself?" Corporal Lynn asked as he looked at Su Hang on the sofa opposite.

"The purpose of the real murderer is not to kill John, but to find the ruby necklace, how can such a thing be hired to do it, in case someone takes the opportunity to take it, he can't cry."

"Besides, his spending in the city of London is also a problem, and it is impossible to spy on John while working!" Su Hang looked at Corporal Lynn a little funny, he would actually ask such a funny question.

"Then he hired ......," Corporal Lynn was about to say the money as soon as he opened his mouth! saw that Su Hang on the opposite side pouted, and immediately thought that the safe that John had placed in the bedroom had also been robbed.

"John is really sad enough." Corporal Lynn looked at Su Hang and said, who would have thought that the murderer would use the money obtained from John to hire a killer to kill John.

"Alright, it's half an hour, it's time for us to go to the restaurant." Su Hang stood up and looked at Corporal Lynn and said.

"Dinner can't be delayed, the stomach will protest, go to the restaurant." Corporal Lynn followed Su Hang out of the room and walked towards the dining room.

On the way to the restaurant, Su and Hang were still analyzing the case and sharing their conclusions.

Walking straight towards the restaurant, the renovated restaurant is basically divided into two parts, one is the main hall and a few suites for dining, Su Hangzhou and a few of them dine in the main hall, as for the suites, they are for special VIPs.

The other part is the relaxation area, which is very quiet. In the afternoon, guests bring their partners or friends to talk and chat.

On one side of the hall is a phonograph larger than the average phonograph, which plays different music from time to time. People often drink some red wine, eat a little dessert, listen to the good music playing in the afternoon relaxation area, and enjoy the afternoon time.
