Chapter 51: The Opening

"It's almost time, we should go back."

Sherlock Holmes got up from the chaise longue and gently tapped the burned tobacco into the potted plant: "One more thing, Baron Bill is acting strangely tonight, he has been peeking at his wife's chest, and he seems to be hiding something. ”

"I noticed it too."

Ma Wei opened the balcony door, paused in his footsteps, and said, "I hope he doesn't pretend to be smart." ”

"I hope so."

Back in the master bedroom, there were only 3 minutes left before the time on the notice letter, and the room was filled with a solemn and oppressive atmosphere, no one spoke, standing in place, guarding their respective positions, their eyes uncontrollably staring.

Instead of going to the center of the master bedroom, Marvey stood by the door, leaning against the wall, observing with interest Baron Bill, Macmillan, and others.

Everyone's expressions were too wonderful, Baron Bill's face was pale, trembling and terrified, and his thief-like eyes glanced at his wife's chest one after another, and a nervous cold sweat broke out.

Macmillan kept staring at his pocket watch, intently, as if he was doing a countdown-like mental activity.

And the wife of Baron Bill ....

She shrunk in the crowd, biting her lower lip lightly, and patting her neck lightly with her palm, as if to relieve her nervousness, her heart was uneasy, and she glanced at her husband from time to time.

There are 2 minutes left.

Outside the house, lightning and thunder, blue and white electric light entered the room through the cracks between the wooden panels, the muffled thunder struck everyone's heart, and the rain beat on the glass, like a pair of small hands poking out of hell, knocking on your door.

1 minute left.

Time has entered the countdown, the second hand clicks and beats, each step forward, means the disappearance of the sand of time, a policeman can no longer bear this huge pressure, he hugged the vase in the corner, wow, vomited, the fishy yellow-black vomit emitted a strong strange smell.

No one blamed him, and Baron Bill was not even angry that the precious enamel vase had been defiled.

The last 10 seconds....

Unia grabbed Mavey's palm, Holmes cast his gaze, Macmillan looked up, and Baron Bill held his breath and lay on the hidden compartment of the safe like a toad, pricking up his ears and looking around alertly.

It's time.

Click!

The gas lamp on the roof suddenly lost its light, and the whole room fell into a thick and indissolvable darkness in an instant, and the exclamation suddenly sounded, and then, the window was violently broken, and in a flash of electric light, a figure appeared on the edge of the windowsill, a huge black cloak danced behind him, and a white dove was parked on his shoulder, and the top hat was pressed very low, no one could see his true face, but everyone knew....

That's the Rose Thief!

With his black-gloved palm in his arms, he pulled out a red gem and smiled at the corner of his lips.

"Tonight, I'll take the Blood Rose as promised."

With that, he opened his arms and fell backwards, wrapped his hunting cloak around his body, and instantly fell off the windowsill.

The policeman rushed to the window and looked at each other, completely unaware of when he stole the Blood Rose ....

Even Baron Bill, who was lying on the safe, was stunned.

"What are you still doing in a daze!"

Macmillan shouted in the darkness: "The Rose Thief has escaped, go get him!! ”

"It's... Be! ”

The police scrambled out of the master bedroom, brandishing revolvers, and rushed downstairs.

"Ah!!h

Mrs. Bill, who was standing in the crowd, was knocked over, sat on the ground, and let out a cry of pain.

Immediately, a pair of strong arms helped her up.

"Are you alright?"

Macmillan's voice of concern came.

"No... It's okay..."

Mrs. Bill quickly touched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the blink of an eye, only Macmillan, Sherlock Holmes, Marvey, and Baron Bill and his wife were left in the room.

Perform...

It's just getting started.

"Baron Bill, was the gem really stolen?"

Turning on the kerosene lamp, Macmillan nervously asked, "Open the safe and check it!" ”

"Ooohoh..."

Baron Bill glanced at Madame, took off the key on his chest, and opened the safe.

The Blood Rose lay inside intact, still shining brightly.

"It's... What's going on? ”

Macmillan's eyes widened and he beckoned to Mavey and Sherlock Holmes, "Come and see, the Blood Rose is still here!" ”

"Oh, that's weird."

Sherlock Holmes chimed in, "It seems that the Rose Thief didn't steal the real gem, it was just his ploy to get out of the way. ”

"That's right! He could come back at any time! Macmillan nodded heavily: "Baron Bill, you quickly lock up the gem, just in case, I'll go and call everyone back!" ”

With that, Macmillan walked briskly towards the door, passing by Mavey...

Someone suddenly grabbed his arm.

"Priest?" He turned his head in confusion: "What are you arresting me for?" ”

"Mrs. Bill, please check the Blood Rose hidden on your chest." Ma Wei said slowly.

Before Mrs. Bill could react, Baron Bill jumped up, threw away the blood rose in his hand, rushed to his wife, and hurriedly said, "Take it out!" ”

At his urging, Mrs. Bill removed the necklace around her neck, and at the end of the necklace hung a red gem that looked indistinguishable from the Blood Rose in the safe.

But....

"It's a fake !!"

After just one glance, Baron Bill was furious: "Didn't I let you take a good look at it? This is our family heirloom!! ”

"Don't get excited, Baron Bill."

Ma Wei said lightly: "The real blood rose is still in this room. ”

"Where?!"

"Right at Macmillan... Oh no, he should be called the Rose Thief now. Mavi looked to the side.

The look of confusion gradually faded, and Macmillan, who was eager to leave, straightened up, smiled slightly, and asked in a calm voice: "How did you see through?" ”

"Secret."

"Wouldn't it be nice to satisfy my curiosity?"

"Nope."

"Well, well..."

Macmillan sighed helplessly, closed his eyes, and began to mobilize the power in his body.

However...

An even larger, furious force poured from his arm into his body.

He opened his eyes suddenly, looked at Ma Wei in disbelief, and his face changed: "You... You... How could you...."

Mavi didn't know how to use Yunia's powers, but he knew one thing.

Fire and water are incompatible.

Can the bounty powers from different gods merge?

After practice, Ma Wei came up with the answer:

No!

"Let Me Go !!"

The Rose Thief roared, trying his best to break free from Mavi's clutches, but Mavi was also a lieutenant in the Royal Navy back then, and he was far superior to ordinary people in terms of skill and strength.

Clearly, the Rose Thief is not good at hand-to-hand combat.

Boom!

A cane struck from behind him, striking the back of the Rose Thief's head so hard that he rolled his eyes and passed out on the spot.

Ma Wei grinned and couldn't help but say, "It's really ruthless..."

"To deal with this kind of person, of course, just in case."

Holmes put away his staff with a blank face, crouched down in front of the Rose Thief's body, rummaged over him, and found the real Blood Rose.

After finding the Blood Rose, Mavi let go of the Rose Thief, and seeing this scene, Holmes was stunned for a moment, and just as he was about to say a word of warning, he met Mavi's gaze.

From the other party's Gujing Wubo's eyes, he seemed to understand something.

"The duck that I finally got my hands on..."

Shaking his head, Holmes smiled and returned the blood rose wrapped in a handkerchief to Baron Bill: "Return to the owner." ”

"You're amazing!!"

The loss of the heirloom made Baron Bill so overjoyed that he couldn't say anything excited: "I, I... I really don't know how to thank you guys... Yes! The Rose Monster has awakened! ”

The rose thief who woke up, seeing that Ma Wei had let go of himself, his eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers without hesitation, and his body disappeared in an instant.

"This, this, this..."Baron Bill was shocked: "He, he, he..."

"It's magic."

Mavi and Holmes said in unison.

"Magic?!"

"That's right, it's magic."

The show has not yet come to an end.
