"Suspect?" Edwina looked the three people in front of her up and down, then asked as she turned her gaze to a man with slightly curly hair.

"Where were you from 7:24 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.?" The man glanced at the middle-aged man on the ground and knew what was going on, so he replied truthfully.

"I went to buy the tools I used to paint, and then I went home."

Edwina then asked another man with a cat in his arms, "What about you?" ”

"I went to buy breakfast and went back to my apartment to continue my creative journey." The man replied.

The last man then said, "I stayed at home and never came out. ”

There are obvious alibis. Sherlock's gaze was as sharp as a knife, and he suddenly looked at the male painter's hand, only to find that his hand was clean and clean, and there were no traces of paint stained by the painting.

It's just that the index finger and middle finger of the left hand are yellowed, which is the trace left by the smoker who has been holding the cigarette with two fingers for a long time, and his body also has a strong tobacco smell, and his eyes are full of bloodshots, which is the result of often staying up late.

Thinking of this, Sherlock looked at the man in front of him and asked coldly, "Can Mr. Collinlow ask you some questions?" ”

"Yes." Collinluo was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said.

"Do you smoke a lot and stay up late?"

"Yes, how do you know?" Ke Linluo looked at the other party in surprise, but the other party didn't have the slightest intention to answer him, but continued to say the next words: "Don't worry, I have one last question, have you been painting since you came back from buying paint?" ”

"Yes." Collinroe's eyes flickered, and although it was only for a moment, it was keenly captured by Sherlock.

"But why didn't your hands, your clothes, or your shoes touch the paint?"

"This ......" Before the other party could think of a rebuttal, he had already continued to ask: "You can't say that you put a raincoat on your body and gloves, right?" Even if that's the case, the shoes won't be hugged so they won't get dirty, right? ”

"I cleaned it when I came."

"When I went to look for you, Mr. Collinro, you weren't at home, the bathroom door was open, and the palette and brushes were dry, and the paint was unopened, and I searched every corner and didn't find you." Felton, who had been standing quietly next to him and did not speak, suddenly spoke.

"It's possible that I'm mistaken, but you can't say I'm a murderer just because of that." Collinlow retorted dissatisfiedly, but maybe even he didn't notice that his voice was obviously trembling when he retorted, because he was weak-hearted......

"You said you would go to the store and buy the tools you use when you paint, it should be a mirror and a pistol, right? And aren't you curious how I knew you were a long-term smoker and cared so much about this? Sherlock's tone was a little aggressive, and then he didn't wait for the other party to refute, and continued, "If you don't guess wrong, there are your fingerprints on the handle of this pistol and mirror, and you will know when the time comes, even if you have gloves on the cuffs and clothes will react to gunsmoke, I picked up half a cigarette in the place where you committed the crime, and there are shoe prints on it, the cigarette was trampled on, and the shoe prints on this are the same as the marks on the shoes you are wearing on your feet now, right?" ”

"You've been behind that building all the time, but you used the reflection of the mirror to make me think there was no one in that building, but the gun fired itself, and the building hasn't been inhabited for a long time, so no one will notice even if the lights break."

"Young master, he did have a gunpowder smoke reaction on his body." Mikal looked at Sherlock and wondered how such a stupid person could be, it seemed that he was inexperienced.

"Mr. Collinlow, why are you doing this?" Edwina's tone was stern, and her gaze was as sharp as a knife.

"It was because on the night of Christmas Eve, he borrowed a thousand pounds from the deceased, but he could not afford to pay it back, and the deceased would often come to him to pay off his debts, and he could not bear the repeated debts of the deceased, so he got rid of the creditor and never suffered any trouble." Sherlock's tone was extremely cold, and he made it clear the other party's motive for killing between his words

"It is a matter of course to repay debts." After Edwina said this.

Collinlow was taken away by the police who arrived later.

"What does it have to do with you?" Sherlock finished coldly, tilted his head slightly to avoid the other party's hand, and turned to leave.

"As your older brother, everything about you is within the scope of my concern." Vera's mocking voice came from behind her, and Sherlock stopped in his footsteps, slowly turning around and looking at each other with a fierce gaze and a more arrogant expression

"If you come back for the position of earl, then you must have the ability to snatch it from my hands openly, so that I can lose convincingly." The smile on Vera's face faded, and her expression became extremely sarcastic, "Do you remember all the memories from the past?" ”

Sherlock was stunned for a moment, then reached out and grabbed Vera's neck, and said something almost like he was spitting out ice, "It's not thanks to your Ferdinand family. ”

Everyone was saying that he Sherlock was a filthy, outcast person from the family, and suddenly the memories of the past came flooding up like a tidal wave, and he couldn't help but feel cold all over his body.

That hellish place, that despair and hatred, and all kinds of unspeakable shame, all say that he is a forgotten man by the world, a man whose soul is filthy.

"Then the back waist represents the brand of inferiority, it must have a special meaning, right? And whether the fluid that those people took from your body is still on you. Vera's words reveal Sherlock's deepest scars.

As soon as he thought that everything that should have belonged to him fell into Sherlock's hands in a blink of an eye, and even more thought that he had to be careful to get back his things after he returned, he felt sad, and the more sad he felt, the more angry he became, and he couldn't care about the dignity of the noble young master at the moment, so he reached out and grabbed the other party's wrist and squeezed it fiercely: "I heard that those people will defile you over and over again while you don't know, until one day you can't stand it and commit suicide." ”

"Shut up!!" Sherlock only felt that his whole heart was being gouged with a knife little by little, until it turned into a bottomless abyss, and the blood in his veins churned upwards uncontrollably, as if it would burst through the top of his head in the next moment, and his anger had reached its peak, and he shook off the other party's hand, and then raised his slap and landed on Vera's face.

Just listen to .........

There was a snap......

Everyone was stunned, they didn't expect Sherlock to be so angry, Vera was beaten to the ground, two teeth were knocked out, and her mouth was full of blood, which shows how far Sherlock's anger has reached now.

He crouched down and grabbed Vera's collar with one hand, and said, "I might as well tell you, even if you succeed in regaining this position, you still can't sit still, and it is extremely stupid to want someone like you who will only take advantage of other people's past things." ”

Vera viciously raised her hand to open Sherlock's hand and said, "I'll get it back." ”

After saying that, he turned to leave, and Sherlock looked at his back as he left angrily, and his gaze became more and more cold.

Mikal looked at Sherlock, he no longer had the liveliness and cheerfulness that he should have when he was a teenager, and the sharp color was revealed between his eyebrows, the blue eyes that were like the vast sea of stars had lost their original charm, and he was extremely cold, and there seemed to be resentment and murderous intent fluctuations when he looked into the deepest part, like a bottomless abyss, making it impossible to see what he was thinking.

To be honest, Vera and Sherlock are cousins, but because of the contradiction of their positions, they can't be brothers, they can be enemies, and they are the kind of enemies who have to die one.

Sherlock knew what Mikal was thinking, and his thin lips pulled out a curvature, and said, "Aren't people like this?" Unscrupulous means for their own ends, but the things they pursue are different, their thoughts are different, and their attitudes towards others are even different, all I want is to be able to succeed in revenge, and I don't care at all if I lose that position. ”

"I guess the Vera family must have known that Vera Ferdinand is not dead, but not only is he dead, but he is still visiting, so they can't wait to come to the door now, and prepare for the guests." Sherlock feels that the news of Vera Ferdinand's death will spread throughout London in the near future,

There's a big show to watch then.

"Yes."

Edwina is disgusted with those people to the extreme, what kind of guest is it? It's just that she, as an assistant, has to let those people get out of the way.

Sherlock knew what was going on when he looked at Edwina, but he just didn't say a word.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Vera family to have their son visit the house, and it was clear that they were looking for Vera Ferdinand.

Vera Ferdinand sat beside the Duchess of Pevera, and the smile on his face was even more smug with the obvious backer, as if to say, "Look, you loner, I see where you can be proud." ”

The corners of Sherlock's lips curved upwards with a graceful arc, the expression on his face was still calm, holding the cup in his left hand, and stirring the black tea in it with a spoon with his right hand, and asked, "I don't know what the Duchess is visiting today?" ”

Pervira opened the door and said, "You don't have to beat around the bush, since our family Vera has returned, you should give up the position of the earl." ”

"And may I ask the Duchess, is Vera's surname Ford Heslett?" Sherlock had some confusion on his face, but his eyes were cold.

"Vera is the child of our Ferdinand family, how can it be Ford Heslett with the last name? Sherlock, aren't you crazy? Pervira didn't know why he asked.

"Doesn't the Duchess think it's strange to let the children of the Ferdinands inherit the title of earl of our Ford Heslett family?" Sherlock was talking about why he was giving the title of earl to an outsider, and the mocking smile on his lips almost made Vera unable to control her desire to capture Sherlock's handsome face.

The other party was clearly saying that Vera Ferdinand was just an outsider.

Vera's face changed, and she couldn't help but retort: "They are all relatives, why are they so clear?" ”

Sherlock looked at him, and a sneer flashed in his eyes: "Since Cousin Vera is just a relative of our two families, as long as I am still here, there is no reason to pass on the title of earl to relatives Moreover, when did the British aristocracy have such a rule?" If Her Majesty said it. Then I naturally have nothing to say. ”

I thought to myself: the more you desire to get this position, then you will never think of it, and if you dare to provoke again, you can only lie in the coffin next time.

"Anyway, I'm your brother." Vera clenched her fists tightly, and if he could, he would strangle the sharp-toothed guy in front of him to death, he tried to suppress his anger.

Human beings are all cheap, he will degrade you to worthless when he doesn't need you, and when he needs you, he can immediately put on a flattering appearance, wagging his tail in front of you and whispering, no matter how he kicks it, this kind of person who can abandon his dignity at any time, can also hope that he can take the Ford Heschlett family far.

"Brother? My brother has returned to Huangquan a few months ago, where is my brother? Sherlock looked surprised, but Pervira hated it.

Obviously she didn't want to give up the position of earl, Pervira almost wanted to cut Sherlock with a sword, but Edvina was secretly happy to see it from the sidelines, she had seen it before, she had already been bullied but didn't even dare to gasp, but today seeing Sherlock's words made the two of them angry enough.

It's just that she feels that these two people won't give up easily, and they will definitely think of some way in the future.

"Let's go!" Pervira knew that she would not be able to get the title of earl today, and if she got rid of Sherlock, she would definitely be able to regain it, thinking of this, her eyes crossed a trace of calculation, but her face was impassive, and she left the mansion with Vera.

Sherlock clearly saw the look in the other party's eyes, but as if he didn't see it, at this time, a small head looked out of the door, with a cautious face, Sherlock looked at the other party sneakily for fear of who would find out, really when he Sherlock is blind? It is clear that it is to cover your ears and steal the bell.

"Who?!" Sherlock suddenly let out a loud shout, which immediately startled Edwina, and she turned around slowly, but made a silent gesture at him, pointed to the dark room that was not in the middle of winter, and said, "Look." ”
