Chapter 140: Strange Fragrance (Subscription Requested!! )

"Extra! Extra! The Rose Thief is back in London!" Wow

"Extra! Extra!"

The newsboy's shouts resounded through St. James's Street, and everyone heard the news of the reappearance of the Rose Thief, including Sherlock Holmes, the Grand Prince Charles, and others, who were at the scene of the crime upstairs.

"Who's shouting?"

The eldest prince Charles pushed open the window and glanced at the policeman who was guarding downstairs, and the policeman immediately stepped forward to grab the shouting newsboy and led him upstairs.

The newsboy who was still brave enough to shout just now turned into a little chicken in the water after being grabbed by the neck, and he didn't dare to move, so he obediently came upstairs.

Upstairs in the bedroom, the bodies of Hilton Mobile and his wife lay out, although covered with a white cloth, but also exuded a strange aura, the newsboy's face was pale, and his legs were a little weak.

The eldest prince walked up to the newsboy and looked at it, "You just said that the Rose Thief has appeared?" Wow

"Hmm..."

"Where's the evidence?"

"Really!" When the newsboy heard that the eldest prince did not believe it, he raised his head and said in a loud voice, "The Rose Thief has sent a notice to Clarence Palace!"

Clarence Palace....

Everyone felt that this name was familiar, and if you think about it carefully, huh?

Isn't this the palace where Prince Charles lived?

Turning his head, the eldest prince's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, gloomy and dripping water. Wow

Two and a half years ago, the Rose Thief visited the Duke of Wales, the Grand Prince Charles' Clarence House, and stole the Siren's Tears.

In addition to the eldest prince Charles, the second prince Shukri's house was also burglarized, and the third prince Andrew was not spared....

It is no exaggeration to say that the Rose Monster Thief stole the Windsor royal family two and a half years ago!

From the king to the prince, not a single one was spared!

Siren's Tears.... What a precious treasure!

The Great Prince originally planned to use the Siren's Tears as a family heirloom!

There was a rutting sound downstairs, a carriage stopped downstairs, and the butler Nicks jumped out of the carriage and hurried upstairs, and when he saw the eldest prince, he took out a white teaser letter. Wow

The content of the notice letter is very simple, saying that the Rose Monster Thief will take the most precious treasure of the eldest prince Charles at 9 o'clock tonight, and the specific thing is not clear, but the arrogant behavior of the other party has made the eldest prince unable to hold back the anger in his heart.

"Bastard!"

The eldest prince burst into foul language, and tore the teaser letter in his hand hard: "He really thinks of himself as a character! A thief who can't get on the table.... He used to be arrogant, but now.... I'm going to make him come and go!"

Two and a half years ago, Levine was probably the only existence in the world that could use magic, but now, there are people who can use magic everywhere, and Levin's greatest advantage has been lost.

It can be said that on the day when the gods come, it should be the moment when the Rose Monster Thief retires from the stage.

Levin retreated, Gina did not.

"Nyx, notify the witchers immediately and ask them to send someone to support Clarence Palace!" Wow

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Mr. Holmes." The eldest prince Charles looked at Holmes, who was smoking a pipe next to him, and issued an invitation: "Can I invite you to come tonight?"

Sherlock Holmes's eyes were calm and expressionless: "Your Highness, the cause of Sir Hilton Mobile's death has not yet been found." ….

He didn't want to go, Holmes already knew the true identity of the Rose Thief, how could he be idle and run against Mavey?

Putting these factors aside, in Holmes's heart, murder is definitely more important than treasures, and all five members of Hilton's Mobile family died, so of course he had to investigate such an important case carefully.

"I can't find anything here for a while." The eldest prince Charles glanced at the corpse on the bed and said in a deep voice, "You have been busy here all afternoon, and you can't even find the cause of death, what else is there to investigate? The murderer must have used a special method, maybe it was magic, just leave it to the witcher, there is no need to waste it

Gas!"

It's no secret that Holmes doesn't know magic, at least the Grand Prince knows. Wow

How can a person who does not know magic fight against a murderer who can do magic?

No matter how clever Holmes is, it is impossible to catch the murderer!

"I believe that the murderer will definitely leave clues at the scene of the crime." Holmes shook his head slowly, "I'm going to stay and continue the investigation, as for the Rose Thief.... Your Highness, you may ask for the help of the Church."

"I will."

Seeing that Holmes was unwilling to help him and insisted on staying, the eldest prince didn't say anything more, and left St. James Street with Nicks, and went straight to the Witcher's headquarters and St. Paul's Cathedral, presumably to find the archbishop.

As soon as the eldest prince left, only Sherlock Holmes, Watson, the Scotland Yard police, and the witchers were left, just as Holmes was going to continue his investigation....

A police officer ran up and shouted, "Mr. Holmes, there's a gentleman named Nicholas downstairs who says he knows you!" Wow

"Nicholas?" Holmes took the palm of his pipe, and paused: "Please come up."

"Yes!"

Soon, Ma Wei and the others walked into the bedroom under the leadership of the police, they were idle people who had nothing to do with the case, etc., and they were originally not allowed to enter the scene of the crime, but for the sake of Sherlock Holmes's face, the police inspector and the captain of the witcher who were present did not say anything.

After the eldest prince left, Ma Wei also had a little less scruples, and asked bluntly, "Is there a result?"

"Nope."

Standing in front of the window, Holmes shook his head: "In Hilton Mobile's house, we found a total of 8 corpses, in addition to Hilton Mobile's family of five, there are also two maids and housekeepers, they all died in their own rooms, after Watson's examination and the decomposed state of the corpses, they should have died at the same time."

"At the same time?" Ma Wei frowned, "You mean that the murderer killed 8 people at the same time?" Wow

"No more than 15 minutes before and after."

Sherlock Holmes raised his hand to lift the white cloth, and Levin stepped forward curiously, surprised, "Why are they still laughing?"

The bodies of Hilton Mobile and his wife had been dead for a long time, but there were still bright smiles on their faces, as if they remembered something happy, and the corners of their mouths were raised to the sides, and there was no pain to be seen.

"What's even more strange is that there are no wounds on the bodies of the 8 deceased, and after poison examination, there is no toxin residue on the utensils, fingers, and corners of the mouths they use, and judging from the decomposition of the corpses, it does not look like poisoning." Sherlock Holmes took a puff of his pipe, lowered his head, and sniffed the corpse: "When they die, they smell a strange smell, and when they die there is no sign of struggle, they must have died in their sleep, silently." ….

The strange fragrance that Holmes said, Ma Wei also smelled it, it was very weird, I couldn't tell what the fragrance was, it was greasy, I would get dizzy when I smelled it too much, and I couldn't help but want to smell it....

"According to the police officers who patrolled last night, they heard a subtle sound of bells coming from this building around 4 a.m. when they were patrolling St. James's Street." "In addition to the patrol officers, there were several other residents in the building who heard the bell, and they said it only lasted for a short time, about a few minutes, and then it went away," Holmes said.

Only through these clues, it is obvious that the identity of the prisoner cannot be locked, the property in the house is intact, there is no theft, the other party is not for money, in this case, it can only be murder. Wow

Sherlock Holmes intends to investigate other suspects, such as Hilton Mobile's enemies, and the police summons will take some time, during which ....

Sherlock Holmes looked at Levine and asked meaningfully, "Are you idle?" Came to the scene of the crime to see me solve the crime?"

"We're just curious about the cause of Hilton Mobile's death, and it would be great if we could catch it..."

Holmes was stunned for a moment, "How do you know?"

Mavey will have him yesterday with Hill

Don Mobile's conversation, and the fact that the werewolves were hiding in the Nightingale Club, was spoken, and after listening to it, Holmes fell silent.

"Mr. Butler... Is it him?"

"You know Mr. Butler?" Wow

"In the past year, there have been many murders in London, and the clues of several of them are related to the underground black market, and I know that there is a person codenamed Mr. Butler behind the scenes, but I have not been able to catch the clues of the other party..."

"The underground black market is related to the Old Gods, so you better not track it down."

「......」

Holmes didn't answer, seeing this, how could Mavey not know what was going on in his heart?

As a well-known detective in London, Sherlock Holmes likes to investigate crimes the most, which is his interest and his job, but the interest is more important.

Mr. Butler in the underground black market is related to many cases, how can Holmes not investigate such an important person?

Not letting him investigate the case is worse than killing him. Wow

"If you have to investigate, I can't stop you."

Mavi took out two black statues from his arms, one of the titlan snake and the other of the Bloodline, and secretly stuffed them into Holmes's hands: "In case of danger, turn the clockwork in the back, it doesn't need magic to activate."
