Corporal Lynn walked into the study from the outside, and saw Su Hang sitting at the desk looking through the books he didn't know, and there were a few books scattered on the table. Did Jesus give you any hints? ”

"Corporal, you are right this time, Jesus has appeared, and God can't stand it."

Su Hang pushed the notebook and the words spelled together by the letters written on the paper in front of Corporal Lynn across the table, "This is what I found in the gap between the two pages of the notebook. ”

"What is this?"

"A hint from Jesus," Su Hang looked at Corporal Lynn and smiled.

"The name Gabriel, which is spelled out in letters on the paper, is from the Bible," Su Hang said, looking at the notebook that Corporal Lynn was holding.

"John is still a guesser!"

"But it's too easy!"

"Is this mystery trying to hide something?"

"If he didn't have anything more valuable than a jewel necklace, it would be the necklace we're looking for right now," Su Hang said after taking a sip of the only tea left in his teacup.

"This can't have been discovered by the murderer!" In Corporal Lynn's opinion, this guessing game is too simple, I'm afraid that even an Englishman can solve it!

"The odds of this being a bit low!" Su Hang rubbed his nose, and he was a little out of breath just now.

"Why?"

Su Hang stood up and turned to look out the window, his eyes fell through the glass to the Clayderman restaurant opposite, and said something inconsequential: "I'm a little hungry!" ”

"What did you say?" Corporal Lynn asked, looking at Su Hang who was facing the window.

"Ahh It's okay," Su Hang turned around and said. I won't hear you!

Looking at Su Hang's reaction, Corporal Lynn confirmed his guess, thinking that he had heard it wrong, what did he say hungry!

Look at the reaction! Didn't you just eat it, foodie! Corporal Lynn felt like he was in a hurry for Columbus to discover the New World!

"The bedroom has obviously been searched, but the study is very tidy, and there is no clutter in the room except for the two in the hospital."

"Besides, do you think the letters in that notebook are easy to spot?"

"The police didn't find it all morning in this study, and if I hadn't sat here resting and accidentally saw each other when I was distracted, I wouldn't have found out."

"You can see how inconspicuous the letters are here!" Su Hang said as he pointed to the notebook that was spread out on the table by Corporal Lynn.

Corporal Lynn pulled over a chair in the room and sat down at the table, spread his hands and motioned for Su Hang to continue.

"Even if it is discovered by the police, it will only be taken away as ordinary evidence, and a few of them will have nothing to do and play with riddles when they are full."

"It's a bit far, if the murderer is a meticulous person, maybe he will really find out about this 'guessing game'. But after looking at the situation in the bedroom, I would never think that the murderer would slowly put the book back in its place after reading it after finding the clues. ”

"Unless he's a book lover like John."

"Let's talk ......... again."

"Okay, understood, no need to say more" Corporal Lynn interrupted Su Hang's 'say again' in time, he already understood why the murderer would not find out, nothing more than not taking the Bible with him.

"Click! Click! Click! Su Hang tapped his fingers on the table one after another, and watched Corporal Lynn say the last few words he wanted to add.

"By the way, the most important point is that he is short of time, there are more and more people on the street, the groom at the door will also enter the store because he can't wait, the patrol police have already started patrolling, all of this makes the murderer not have that time to waste."

"The appearance of Yaheng itself broke the murderer's plan, not to mention rummaging through the bedroom for a long time."

After listening to Su Hang's words, Corporal Lynn didn't say anything, just sat quietly, thinking about the possibility of what Su Hang said!

Su Hang didn't bother Corporal Lynn, and he stood alone in front of the window, looking at every pedestrian on the street, thinking that someone in his memory had said that "murderers often like to go back to the place where their crimes occurred and enjoy their 'fruits'." ”

But there are so many pedestrians on the street, who knows in which corner he is!

"If your speculations are true, is he coming to the store?" Corporal Lynn leaned back in his chair and looked at the back in front of Su Hang's window and asked.

"Quite possibly, but the police at the door discouraged him, but he won't give up that gemstone necklace." Su Hang looked out the window and said.

"Inspector Upton's report said that John's safe in the bedroom was pried into by the other party, and the money in it was swept away, could the murderer have run away with the money?" Corporal Lynn asked, standing up, pouring a cup of tea, sitting back in his chair.

"It's unlikely, corporal, have you ever wondered why the murderer would know about that gemstone necklace."

John could not answer this now, and the other person who knew about it had passed away. However, I suspect that it is very likely that the murderers knew Lady Beverly while they were still alive, and had seen the necklace. Su Hang speculated.

"Why?" Corporal Lynn raised his own questions.

"We've all seen the photos in the atrium on the second floor, the photo shows Mrs. Beverly wearing a necklace, and the photo was left by Mrs. Beverly before she died, and the murderer should have known about this necklace at that time."

"Why didn't we meet when we were in London, you might ask?"

"With the preciousness of this necklace and its eye-catching charm, it's hard not to attract attention, unless it's been hidden in a safe before."

"In the Upton inspection report, there is no mention of the gemstone necklace at all, and the people around have no impression of this priceless necklace, which is incredible!"

Corporal Lynn drank tea and listened to Su Hang's analysis, and didn't say anything, fully demonstrating the good quality of an audience.

"The gemstone necklace is most likely to be obtained when I went to France, otherwise there would be no news from London at all, the murderer knew that the necklace was in John's hands, and he also knew that he brought it back, and even saw the necklace in the bedroom, otherwise he would not have rummaged through the bedroom for the first time, but John hid the necklace for other reasons, so that the other party did not find it."

"According to you, no one has gotten the necklace now, and there is no clue other than the Bible, right?" Corporal Lynn said with one hand on his chin propped up on the armrest.

"So far." Su Hang sat back in his chair and said.

"Mr. Naselt is really unlucky, he showed up at the most undesirable time, in the most undesirable place, and even caused himself to lie in the hospital." Corporal Lynn looked at Su Hang and said.

"If the coachman and Yaheng had gone in together, maybe the situation would have changed!" Su Hang muttered to himself with emotion.

"There are not so many 'ifs' in the world, only established reality. We are only busy after the fact, and we have no foresight. Corporal Lynn unconsciously came up with this sentence in his mind, and then said it, and he didn't know whether he said it to Su Hang or to himself.

Chapter 54: The Bible

.

Time passes like flowing water, and like the river of the Thames flowing into the North Sea, it takes away the experience of life and never repeats it.

After their discussion, Su Hang and Corporal Lynn examined several Bibles on the table from beginning to end, and Su Hang found in the old Old Testament at the beginning of the inspection, and the wavy markings on the page caught Su Hang's attention, and the fifth word on the first line of the page was marked as 'sacred&039;sacred, and a circle was drawn on top of the word.

"I also found here, it's the word 'anl' angel," Corporal Lynn held the Catholic version of the Bible open to Su Hang.

I took it and put it on the table and looked at it, and it was the same as what Su Hang found, with wave marks and circles. Su Hang flipped through the first few pages of the Bible with notes and marks, but they were all used as introductory words, none of them were marked separately, and they were all premised on one sentence.

"We need to find the words that mark the point." Su Hang pointed to the wave markers and circles in the Bible.

"Okay."

In the time that followed, Corporal Suhang and Corporal Lynn found words with the same mark on three Bibles.

'prayfor' to pray, 'swear' to swear, 'bless' to bless, these words were at first unsure that Su Hang was what he was looking for, but there was one thing in common that convinced Su Hang that he was correct, and there was a common word 'Gabriel' in these chapters.

Then Su Hang and Corporal Lynn quickly went through the rest of the chapters, and without finding anything, they took a blank piece of paper from their hands, cut the white paper into a bookmark strip with a very abrupt pair of scissors on the corner of the windowsill, and sandwiched the page with the text.

"It's like a kind of text code."

"I have the same opinion."

"Corporal, can you get a camera?"

"I'll let them look for it," he said, leaving the study and walking downstairs.

Su Hang looked at the Bibles in front of him, closed his eyes and recalled John introduced to him by Inspector Upton, imagining how if he were John, how he would use these words to hide clues to find the gemstone necklace.

While Su Hang closed his eyes and meditated, Corporal Lynn went downstairs and found a tall police officer sitting on the first floor drinking coffee, and asked if it was possible to find the camera.

The police officer stood up and thought for a moment, walked towards the counter facing the door, found a brand new camera in the drawer inside the counter, and handed it to Corporal Lynn, saying that he had found this camera in the drawer during the previous inspection, and now he immediately thought of it when he asked.

Corporal Lynn took the camera and tried it, and found that the camera was broken, and there were slight scratches on one side of the camera, probably accidentally broken and put in a drawer, and he didn't have time to repair it.

After thinking about it, he turned around and walked up to the second floor and walked into the study, and saw Su Hang leaning on the chair with his eyes closed, thinking that he was sleepy!

Without disturbing Su Hang, he picked up the three Bibles from the table and walked towards the outside of the study, and when Corporal Lynn turned to leave, Su Hang opened his eyes and closed them again.

"Buy one copy of the same three Bibles." Corporal Lynn came downstairs again and commanded the officer sitting back in the doorway.

"Corporal, this money?" The officer asked, holding three Bibles, looking at Corporal Lynn.

"Take back another copy of the Bible as it is, and it will cost me to pay for it."

"Okay, corporal."

"Why didn't you see it, Inspector Upton?" Corporal Lynn only noticed that he hadn't seen him for a long time.

Another police officer at the door immediately said, "Upton was called away just now when he was searching downstairs. ”

"Oh!" Corporal Lynn sat in the officer's chair and chatted with the other officer, waiting for the officer who went to buy the Bible.

Su Hang closed his eyes and pondered, the words in his mind revolving around the gemstone necklace, if these words were passwords, where did they open? Could that be a gemstone necklace or a clue in that place?

In contemplation with his eyes closed, his right hand unconsciously put on his left hand, and inadvertently touched the family heirloom ring on his left index finger, which made Su Hang in contemplation think that the most likely thing is the bank, although there are also some savings houses on the market that can store items and money, but they are not as good as state-controlled bank insurance!

At the beginning, Su Hang also thought of the bank, but considering the cumbersome procedures when taking the items, it was put aside, but the moment he touched the family heirloom ring, he suddenly thought that the bank's storage procedures have valuables plus insurance, simply put, the value of the item is evaluated, and one percent of the appraised value of the item will be regarded as the insurance money, and once the item is lost, the bank will pay one-tenth of the compensation in addition to the appraised value of the item.

Aldrich's father stored in this way, but the difference was that because of the goods being auctioned, the one percent of the insurance money would be offset by the profits made by the bank after the auction. There is an agreement between the auction house and the bank, which also allows Su and Hangzhou to save a lot of money.

One of the advantages of this storage method is that there are fewer formalities, and there is a secret identification agreement between the bank and the depositor, so that it is easy to access the stored items or money in the future.

Thinking of this, Su Hang felt more and more that he had guessed eight or nine, and only by depositing it in the bank in this way could it ensure its safety.

"Then the remaining problem is to unlock the text code." Su Hang muttered to himself.

"Corporal, the Bible has been bought, and the bookstore on the corner has just arrived with a new batch of books that contain the three Bibles you need" It didn't take long for the tall police officer who had gone out to buy books to return and walked in with a plastic bag in his hand.

"You've done a good job!"

Corporal Lynn took the bag and took out the Bibles inside, a total of six Bibles were placed on the counter, three new ones were clear at a glance, and the other three were much worse in appearance, but the content was the same, which reassured Corporal Lynn.

Corporal Lynn casually took a pound note from his jacket pocket and handed it to the officer, and walked straight upstairs.

Looking at Corporal Lynn's back, the police officer opened his mouth to tell him that the three Bibles cost 10 shillings and didn't need so much, but he opened his mouth but didn't speak, and a mini black-clothed 'self' in his head said: "The corporal is not short of this money, otherwise he won't give it to you." ”

The officer thought about it for a moment and agreed with the idea, then sat back in a chair at the door and chatted with another officer.
