If you ask yourself, Baron Bill's anti-theft measures are indeed very strict and remarkable.

But in the eyes of Marvey and Sherlock Holmes, there is still a slight shortcoming.

"Although these mechanisms are very hidden, as long as the Rose Monster Thieves search for them, they will always find clues."

Sherlock Holmes stepped forward, pointed to a shiny mark on the headboard that was clearly different from the others, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Baron Bill should check the blood rose often, often, at least once a day, or even more, that's why the headboard is so smooth." ”

Hearing this, Baron Bill's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"And the portrait you hang on the wall, it's too big to be noticed, and the vast majority of people seem to like to hide secrets behind portraits, it's too old to be a pediatrician for an experienced rose thief."

"The second is the secret study behind the portrait."

Under the gaze of the crowd, Holmes walked into the small room behind the portrait and walked along the wall, walking slowly at the same time, occasionally exhaling a puff of smoke, which exploded as soon as it touched the wall, and could not be dispersed for a long time.

"The air is moving, and by a simple smoke measurement, we can know that there is no other hidden compartment in this secret study, in that case..."Holmes turned to look at the desk in the center, raised his hand and tapped on the precious mahogany tabletop: "The secret must be in this huge table, isn't it?" ”

"It's... This..."

A few drops of cold sweat oozed from Baron Bill's forehead, and he said hesitantly: "I have demonstrated it just now, of course it is easy to reason...."

"Wouldn't I have discovered the mechanism in this room without the demonstration just now?" Sherlock Holmes said helplessly: "These traps are not challenging at all, they are boring. ”

"The only thing that will interest me is your safe, which must be opened with a special code key, and the code is known only to you, which is nice and can buy us a few minutes."

"A few minutes?!"

His eyes widened, and Baron Bill exclaimed, "How can it be only a few minutes!" Without a key, Rose the Thief can't open the safe at all! Besides, the safe is connected to the steel plate embedded in the floor, and it is impossible to steal it unless I tear down my room! ”

"You seem to be pretty confident in your safe."

"Of course! It was custom-made for 200 gold pounds by the most famous craftsman in New Ross City, Rumen Woolf! There is only one key! The design drawings were also destroyed! The only people in the world who can open the safe are me and Lumen Woolf! ”

Sherlock Holmes grinned and said disapprerovingly: "I don't know how Rumen Woolf is in craft, but there are not a thousand skilled craftsmen in the world, but there are eight hundred, such as the safe used by the Duke of Wales to store the Sapphire Siren's Tears, its complexity is rare in the world, and the result?" It's not that the Rose Monster Thief has easily cracked it! ”

After the theft of the Sapphire Siren's Tears, the upper floors of the newspaper were told about the Duke of Wales' safe.

It is a huge, comparable to a bank vault of steel house, there is only one entrance, five gates are designed, each gate is equipped with a key, which is kept by different guards, they eat and drink Lazar are in their respective responsible gates, the most advanced gear closure system is used at the beginning of the design, if you want to open a certain gate, you must be closed when the other four gates are all closed, therefore....

Many experts believe that the Rose Thief is not alone, it is a team crime, but everyone knows that the Rose Thief has always been alone, and there are no accomplices at all!

The methods he used remain a mystery to this day, and no one has been able to solve them.

"It's like a ghost that can move between entities at will...," Ma Wei sighed.

Poof!

Baron Bill sat down on the ground with his face as dead as ashes: "If you say that, wouldn't the Blood Rose be stolen?" ”

"Don't jump to conclusions until things come to an end."

Holmes said calmly: "When the Duke of Wales' house was burglarized, I happened to be out of the royal capital, and I couldn't fight the Rose Monster Thief, and now I came to New Ross City to catch him." ”

"Oh!"

Hearing this, Baron Bill perked up, as if a drowning man had grasped a life-saving straw, and said excitedly: "Yes! Right! Who hasn't heard the name of Dilloc Holmes? The Rose Thief must be afraid of you, so he chose to do it when you weren't there! ”

"Perhaps."

Sherlock Holmes smiled noncommittally, turned his head to look at Ma Wei beside him, and asked politely: "Father, tonight at 7 o'clock in the evening, the Sunshine Circus will have its first performance on Ross Avenue, if we have time, how about we go and watch it together?" ”

"No problem."

Ma Wei readily agreed: "It just so happened that I promised Nia to take her to the circus show." ”

..........................................

"Popcorn! Popcorn! Freshly baked popcorn sprinkled with sugar! Only 3p per serving! ”

"Chocolate! Chocolate! It's chocolate full of hazelnuts! ”

"Sweet beer! Chicken cake! Fruit tart! Would you like to buy some snacks for your beautiful lady, kind sir? That way you won't get bored while watching the show! ”

At 6:30 p.m., Ross Avenue was lit up, and the square was full of pedestrians, and even the road was a little congested.

The boys, wearing octagonal hats and small wooden boxes on their chests, shouted loudly and ran through the crowd, even if their voices were a little hoarse, and they did not bother to take a sip of water.

The arrival of the Sunshine Circus is a huge business opportunity, and those who are willing to pay 5 pence for tickets have a little spare money on hand, and the show lasts for three hours, during which time it always feels like something is missing from the mouth without eating, so most of the people who come to watch the show will be generous enough to buy a glass of sweet beer or soda juice, and it is perfect for peddling snacks, beer, melon seeds, and pastries in this kind of place, and it is definitely a good way to make a fortune.

The circus tents have been erected and occupy the entire square, enough to accommodate 500 people, and a single performance can bring in a considerable income of about 10 gold pounds.

"Daddy, I want popcorn, chocolate, and fruit tarts!"

Yunia, who was dressed in a white dress, took Ma Wei's hand and held the bear doll, looking left and right, her dark blue eyes full of excitement.

"It's good, you can eat whatever you want."

At her request, Mavi raised his hand to the boy who sold the snacks while standing in line, and for 1.5 shillings, he bought a large number of snacks, while he himself bought a glass of soda juice.

Fat Orange followed them, not leaving an inch, looking around vigilantly, and many small black shadows flashed on the eaves in the distance.

"Dad, why don't you drink?" Yunia grabbed a few popcorn grains and stuffed them into her mouth, puffing out her cheeks, looking curious: "I see that other adults buy sweet beer to drink, and only children drink soda juice." ”

"I don't like to drink." Ma Wei touched her head: "Alcohol makes the brain drowsy, I must always stay calm and not use alcohol to numb myself." ”

"Oh oh oh... Daddy, you eat too! ”

Yunia held a popcorn aloft, and Mavi bent down to bite it, and as soon as he straightened up, he saw Holmes light his cane and walk from not far away.

"Good evening, Father Nia and this chubby Mr. Cat."

Sherlock Holmes politely lowered the brim of his hat with his cane and said with a smile: "Tonight's performance must be wonderful, and I am very much looking forward to it." ”
