Volume 3: He's a Sorcerer Chapter 35: The Heart of Athena in Sapphire
Alfred knew that the other party already knew the purpose of his coming, and then he didn't say anything, just the moment he turned around, a white light flashed, his body was cut in two, blood splashed everywhere, behind the white light was Sherlock's cold face He was holding a bloodstained long sword in his hand, he would not let go of anyone who betrayed him, if the other party didn't come to him today, maybe he could still live, but he himself wanted to find death, he was originally a demon contractor, and he didn't need the other party at all, All it takes is a black gentleman, but this feeling of being betrayed is really uncomfortable.
Besides, he can even eradicate his own biological father and eldest sister, not to mention that this person has no use value for him at all, although he has been with him for a long time and has helped him a lot, but this is not a reason for Sherlock to tolerate the betrayal of the other party.
Several people in the living room smelled a vague smell of blood in the air, Felton smelled the smell of blood coming from the other party's room and thought something was happening, walked to the door of the other party's room and raised his hand to knock on the door, at this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Sherlock seemed to know that the other party would be standing here, and said, "Clean up the inside." β
"Huh?" Filton was puzzled when he heard this, but he had already opened the door and entered, but found a bloody corpse on the ground, and blood was splashed everywhere, and there was a lingering smell of blood in the air.
On Shelmary Street, the cold moonlight shines on the dense trees on the side of the road, the shadow of the tree is projected on the bluestone road, but it looks a little weird and gloomy, this is the United Kingdom, Atlante City's famous ghost street is also called the Road of Death, it is rumored that whenever the sun sets, the light of the moonlight in front of it does not shine on the dark place that does not know where it leads, there will be a road guide sign with a flashing purple light out of thin air, the road guide sign has been going inside, the winding path leads to the secluded place and the eyes suddenly light up, a red paint gate, The mansion is made of red bricks and green tiles, and under the eaves there are two lanterns that are very strange red.
In the United Kingdom, there is almost no such style of architecture, often the more people who have not seen it, the more curious, the more curious they are, the more they can't help but want to go in and find out, and the owner of this mansion was originally a girl named Maria, she is an artist who is good at eccentric style, so even the style of her residence is very peculiar, her favorite is to make all kinds of wax figures, but because of her too withdrawn personality and the location of the mansion is almost isolated from the world, there is not even a friend, Even her sudden death in her mansion was not noticed.
Because of this, there have been a lot of bloody crimes, from the window full of blood-colored handprints, you can see that there are people standing inside, but those people just stand still and push the door in, when you look closely, those people just stand there expressionlessly, in fact, not so much those are people but lifelike wax figures, some people found that some wax figures are still moving, but the air always emits this rancid smell, close to one of the wax figures to smell it, The rancid smell is even more pronounced, even pungent, like the rotten smell of meat that has been left out for more than ten days, and it smells extremely disgusting.
In the end, the mansion caused a fire, and it was not until the next day that the criminal police came to extinguish the strange fire, wax is afraid of high temperatures, so all those wax figures melted, but what was revealed inside was a corpse, and the smell of corpses and burnt smell fused together became more and more disgusting.
It turned out that these eleven young girls who had been missing for nearly a month were hidden here, and they thought that a year had passed and it should be over, but they didn't expect that the mansion that should have been destroyed by fire was miraculously restored to its original appearance, and even the traces of the surface being burned disappeared, as if someone had specially renovated it, and even thought it was a curse, and everyone who stepped into this mansion would be made into a wax figure, And this is the curse left by the young artist named Maria, who died suddenly, so this rare mysterious street is called Shelmarie Death Street, as the so-called rumors are fiercer than tigers, one ten, ten hundreds, which further casts a veil of mystery on this mansion.
It is because of this that there will be those people who do not believe in evil, come to find out, as a result, these self-volunteering explorers have disappeared inexplicably, as if the world has evaporated, at this time, there are three explorers who are very interested in this strange legend, the three of them just walked to this known as the road of death, Shelmary Street, sure enough, they saw the purple light in front of them, they followed the guidance of the signs, and soon found the legendary cursed mansion, which is still a red paint gate, red bricks and green tiles, There were two red lanterns hanging under the eaves, and they pushed forward with courage, and in front of them stood in rows of wax figures, and there were eleven of them, no different from before the mansion was burned down.
By this time, the snow had stopped, and a little boy with a peaked cap on his head and a stack of newspapers in his hand stood on the side of the street, shaking a newspaper in his hand and shouting: "Queen Victoria's treasure, the sapphire, the Heart of Athena, has disappeared unexpectedly!" β
In just a moment, all the newspapers in his hand were sold out, and for the British people, the sapphire ring called "Athena's Heart" lost by Her Majesty the Queen was a status symbol for the royal family. Definitely not, so Her Majesty now asked her private detective, the head of the Ford Heslett family, Earl Sherlock, to look for the ring, just
Edwina looked at the photo on the table, the ocean-blue sapphire ring on it, and felt that the light was simply beautiful in the photo, like a bright night star in the dark night, not to mention that it was similar to Sherlock's eyes, could it be-
"Summer ...... Summer...... You put a sapphire in your eyes, you know you're going to die! "She didn't know what she was thinking, and her thinking was always different.
After speaking, before the other party came to his senses, he was about to pick Sherlock's left eye, and even the whole person sat on his lap, everyone present was almost stunned by Edwina's actions for a while, Sherlock was even more shocked, he grabbed the other party's hand stretched out to his eyes, and the scene was a mess for a while.
"No, I'll help you take it out!" It's a pity that she is a girl after all, and her strength is naturally not as strong as Sherlock, so she hasn't even touched a single hair of the other party until now.
Felder had just come out of the kitchen when he saw the scene, didn't understand what was going on, how it was so good, and pulled Edwina away from Sherlock.
Edvina sat back in her chair and looked bitter: "I said why don't you listen to persuasion, I said that although gems are beautiful, it's good to look at them, and you also have one, so you have to put the "Heart of Athena" in your eyes. β
Sherlock didn't know if the other party was really an idiot or pretending, so he couldn't help but hold his forehead with a headache.
Feld had already understood what was going on at this time, but said with a smile: "Miss, you are mistaken, the gem is not in the eyes of the young master, but is hidden in another place by the Jiang Yang thief. β
Edvina was shocked to realize that her mind was unconsciously out of line again, and quickly apologized: "Oh - so, Sherlock γγγγͺγγ." β
At this time, a strange girl in a gorgeous costume with a smile on her face had already crossed the threshold and walked in, followed by a black gentleman
Sherlock frowned and looked at each other coldly, when did his mansion become a place for these uninvited guests to come and go as soon as they wanted
Sherlock looked at each other, his eyes were extremely cold, and his tone was even more indifferent: "Who are you?" β
The girl smiled undiminishedly, and put the sapphire ring in her hand on the table: "Don't be angry, I'm just here to return things, after all, you can't offend Her Majesty if you offend anyone, and my head doesn't want to be easily separated." β
When Sherlock saw the black gentleman on the side, the other party also looked at him, and quietly made a "everything is going well" gesture to him, his brows stretched almost imperceptibly, and turned to look at the girl: "The ring is with you, when did you steal it?" "At this point, it's already a question.
"It's so ugly to say that it's stolen, I just like it and appreciate it, but now I'm not interested, and it's time for the thing to be returned to its original owner." The girl said in a very relaxed tone, as if to say another trivial matter, but for Sherlock this is an extremely irresponsible attitude, "Stealing is stealing, don't say it so nicely, the nobles' way of dealing with stolen rats is generally to separate their heads and bodies." β
Saying anything just to appreciate and appreciate is simply nonsense.,I'm afraid even ghosts won't believe it.
The girl's face suddenly became extremely ugly, this was simply an undisguised threat, and then she remembered that there was another black gentleman beside her, and her expression regained her calm again: "Since the things have been returned, for the safety of Violet Faulkner, your so-called fiancΓ©e, I think the Earl is a smart man, I don't think you will joke with the life of the family, we will meet later." β
Then he and the black gentleman turned around and walked out of the mansion, and then disappeared, but I am afraid that she did not know that the black gentleman was the soul of Sherlock, and naturally everything was listened to each other.
"Violet was kidnapped?" Edwina couldn't help but be surprised.
Sherlock shook his head and said, "No, if Violet goes missing, her maid Paula will come to ask for help as soon as possible, and she won't wait for a strange strange girl to come and say this,"
Edwina: "Well, do we need to return the ring to Her Majesty now?" β
Sherlock: "Of course. β
Esther knew it.
Just then, a purple letter floated in from outside and landed on Sherlock's desk, still emitting a faint fragrance.
Sherlock opened the envelope and looked at it, and the corners of his mouth raised an intriguing smile: "It seems that there is a case." β
"What case?" Mikal didn't see the black gentleman, and couldn't help but think that he finally had a chance to come out, and hurriedly asked, since the mistake he made that day made the young master angry, he had been looking for an opportunity
"Homicide." Sherlock replied simply with three words.
Then he threw the envelope to Mikal, put on a black trench coat and walked out, Mikal didn't know that the black gentleman had always been inseparable from each other, but this Edvina knew.
The two arrived at the scene of the crime together, only to see a circle of people around the yellow cordon, all talking to each other.
Officer Randall's face immediately turned cold when he saw Sherlock, and he said unceremoniously, "Count Ford Heslett, what are you doing here?" β
Sherlock took out the envelope and sneered unceremoniously, "Come and wipe the butt of the slow-moving hound." β
Sherlock's thin lips pursed up a touch of mockery, the black dress on his body outlined the good-looking lines of his body, and the sun froze on his extremely handsome face, making his originally fair skin almost transparent white, making his blue eyes look even more charming and bewitching, making his whole person covered with a layer of mystery, which is extremely charming: "Officer Randall, how is the investigation?" β
Then he took the investigation materials in the other party's hand, glanced at them hastily, and said mockingly: "It seems that there are no useful clues in the investigation." β
Randall's face became very ugly, how was the progress of his investigation, it was not the turn of a child to point fingers, took the information from the other party's hand, and said coldly: "These things can be left to our Metropolitan Police Department." β
