Holmes called a horse-drawn carriage, and the three of them got on it and hurried to the chemical plant.

"Accomplice?" Gregerson was surprised, "Didn't you say that this was a crime of passion, the criminal obviously didn't have a plan in advance, because Molly resisted fiercely, so he killed him in a fit of rage, and as you just said, there were only two people left in the textile factory at that time." ”

"This is the last and most important link to complete my reasoning, I found the answer in the chemical factory next door, Paul is a house shared with someone, his roommate is also working in the chemical factory like him, they leave work half an hour later than the textile factory, when Paul left the chemical factory first, went to find Molly as usual, but did not wait for Molly at the place where they often met, Paul was also a little uneasy at this time, he walked around the door of the textile factory twice, to see that it was closed, So I went back to the chemical plant. ”

"Huh?"

At this time, it happened that his roommate Pearson was still there, so he called Pearson to go with him to find Molly. Sherlock Holmes said, "Then the next interesting thing comes, Paul and Pearson soldiers split up to search for Molly's whereabouts, but Paul found nothing, but his roommate Pearson accidentally bumped into John who was dragging Molly's body to the river to dispose of it, under normal circumstances, ordinary people will choose to call the police when faced with this situation, and the good ones can also try to capture John first, but our Mr. Pearson chose another way." ”

"What way?" Gregerson couldn't help but ask.

Pearson, like Paul, came to London at a very young age, and this was his fourth job, having previously washed shoes on the streets, washed dishes in restaurants, tended horses, and slept in stables at night...... People like him must have experienced the difficulties of life early on, and knew that a helpless person like him had to seize every opportunity in front of him if he wanted to climb up, so when he saw John by the river that night, he realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come. ”

"Pearson persuaded John, who was extremely panicked at the time, that he could help deal with this matter, and the latter naturally would not believe the words of such a nobody, but the situation at that time was not friendly to John, and he actually didn't have much choice but to choose to trust Pearson, but then Pearson proved that he had lived up to this trust," Holmes said here and looked at Gregson, "Remember when you came to me and said that you found Molly's clothes under Paul's bed, At the time, I wondered why he had taken the trouble of ripping off his clothes and putting them under the bed when he had already thrown the body into the river. ”

Gregson's face was full of embarrassment, "This ...... It's a question, I didn't notice it before. ”

"But if Pearson's doing this can be explained, he persuaded John to rip off Molly's body, and then take it home, and put it under Paul's bed, so that the police can lock up Paul, not Mr. John, and the office carpet, and John also handed it over to Pearson to deal with, this guy did seize the opportunity in front of him, and in a sense his choice was successful, I thought it would not be so easy to wait for him to show his feet, But he didn't expect that in the end, he made such a low-level mistake.

"He didn't burn the carpet in the first place, but wanted to pawn it." Sherlock Holmes shook his head, "In this way, the report published in the previous "Echo" is not all bad, at least it paralyzes his nerves, considering his previous living environment, it is not incomprehensible to be so careful, but it saves us a lot of trouble, get the blanket in John's office, and then as long as Pearson is caught again, the human and physical evidence will be complete, and the case will be over." ”

The trio then got out of the car in front of the chemical plant.

This time there was no need for Holmes to pay for any more money, Gregerson directly revealed the identity of the policeman, and soon found Pearson, who was still working, but encountered some trouble when arresting him.

It may be that the police came to arrest people during the strike at the chemical plant before, which made the workers inside full of hostility towards the police.

Pearson recognized Gregerson and realized that something was wrong, so he simply encouraged the surrounding workers to surround Gregerson and Sherlock Holmes.

Seeing Pearson disappear into the crowd, Gregerson couldn't help but be in a hurry, pulled out his revolver, and was about to shoot at the sky, but was stopped by Sherlock Holmes on the side, Gregerson stomped his feet angrily, "What do you stop me doing, people are going to run away." ”

"Don't worry, he won't be able to run." Holmes said leisurely, but he didn't look anxious at all.

Pearson took advantage of the chaos to get out of the chemical factory, only to feel a feeling of tightness in his chest, Paul is his friend, the two had helped each other when they had no money before, but because of this, Pearson didn't want to live like this anymore, but no matter how hard he tried, life always showed him a cruel side, knocking him down again and again.

It wasn't until the night before, when he met John, that Pearson finally made up his mind not to live like this anymore, and to make a name for himself in this metropolis, so he did not hesitate to betray Paul and take John's line, thinking that no matter how poor he was in the future, he could become a supervisor of a textile factory, and no longer have to be a short-lived ghost in a chemical factory.

And with this handle in his hands, he might have gotten more, but Pearson's dream was shattered after only two days, and although he had escaped from the factory, his mind was in a mess, and he didn't know where he should go next.

Just then, he saw an Oriental man not far ahead.

The latter stood under a tree, looked at him quietly, and said, "Pearson? ”

"Get out!" Pearson was in a bad mood and didn't want to deal with anyone at this point.

"Looks like it's the right one." The Oriental nodded, "In that case, let's sit down and rest for a while." ”

"I'm annoyed right now, don't blame me for being rude if you don't get out of the way." Pearson clenched his fist with a rattle.

"Yes, it makes things easier." The Oriental man smiled at this.

Five minutes later, Holmes and Gregerson finally squeezed out of the chemical plant, Gregson's clothes were torn, and his hat was squeezed off, swearing all the way, and they soon saw Zhang Heng under the tree, and Pearson holding his lower abdomen like a shrimp at his feet.
