Chapter 17: Professor Moriarty

"Mr. Monet, you guessed right, I interrogated Jack again yesterday after returning from you, and it turned out that there was indeed someone behind him!" Early the next morning, Sheriff Klein hurried to Monet and said to him.

"Oh? So who was directing him? Monet asked curiously.

Unexpectedly, Sheriff Klein shook his head and replied: "Jack said that he had not met this person, and he did things based on the letters he wrote to himself, and he didn't know how this person learned about his situation, but he felt that the murder method that this person said was very feasible, and he really needed his brother's inheritance very urgently, so he took the risk to do it!" ā€

"And what is the name of this abettor? And can I see the letter he wrote to Jack? Monet asked.

Sheriff Klein shook his head again and replied, "Jack said that the letters had been destroyed after reading them according to this man's instructions, but this man always called himself Professor Moriarty!" ā€

"Professor Moriarty, then I'm still Sherlock Holmes, I didn't expect this Jack to be quite obedient!" Monet muttered angrily. (In 1887 Conan Doyle had already published A Study of Scarlet Letters, and in 1893 Professor Moriarty had already appeared in the book.) )

"According to Jack, even if they are kept, it won't do much good, because the letters are typed out on a typewriter, and the handwriting can't be checked at all." Sheriff Klein added.

"Even if it is typed with a typewriter, the handwriting typed by different typewriters will still be slightly different, and although the words are typed by typewriters, the writing pattern and language habits may be clues, but unfortunately there is nothing now!" Monet replied depressedly.

After listening to Monet's words, Sheriff Klein looked at him for a long time, and then sighed: "Mr. Monet, I think you really look like Mr. Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes!" ā€

"I'm not as smart as Mr. Holmes, and I don't know Batton!" Monet replied modestly, but then proudly said, "But I will have a skill that Mr. Holmes does not know, and that is that even if I have not seen the murderer with my own eyes, I can still draw him according to the description of witnesses." ā€

Hearing Monet say this, Sheriff Klein couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but then he reacted and suddenly realized: "Yes, I almost forgot, you are still a painter." ā€

Monet waved his hand and said: "I can't talk about a painter, I can only be called a painter at most, because I don't actually have any talent in painting, I just like it, but from the current point of view, I still have a little talent in writing novels!" ā€

"I think you're more talented at solving crimes!" Sheriff Klein added.

"It's just luck this time."

At this time, Sheriff Klein seemed to suddenly think of something, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Jack also said that in Moriarty's letter to him, he actually asked him to kill five people, including his brother, so that his brother was placed in the middle, which seemed more symmetrical, but after Jack killed the fourth deceased, he felt safe and was busy accepting his brother's inheritance, and did not do anything to the fifth deceased, guess who this lucky fifth deceased is?" ā€

"Where can I guess this? After all, there are more than 700 survivors of the Titanic...... but halfway through speaking, an extremely terrible thought suddenly rose in Monet's mind, so he asked in a trembling voice: "Should it be, should it be me?" ā€

Sheriff Klein nodded and replied, "That's right, it's you!" ā€

"No, he, why did he kill me? I—I've only been in New York for a few days, and I haven't offended anyone! Monet asked in a bit of a panic.

"I don't know about this, maybe he just happened to know your information, after all, the "Titanic" you wrote is too famous, so I think even if Jack is arrested now, you still have to be careful, because maybe this Professor Moriarty will still attack you in the future!" Sheriff Klein kindly reminded.

"In this case, I have to find a way to find out this Professor Moriarty, or I won't be able to sleep well this night!" Monet muttered to himself.

After thinking about it for a long time, in addition to Carl, Monet didn't come up with a second person, but firstly, he hadn't offended Carl to this extent, and secondly, even if Carl wanted to deal with himself, he couldn't use such a troublesome means, wouldn't he just hire a killer to kill him with his financial resources?

While Monet was pondering, a British officer on the other side of the ocean, in Kerala, India, asked his companions: "George, have you read the novels in the newspapers I gave you the day before yesterday?" ā€

George nodded and replied, "Marville, you're talking about The Treasure of the Hindu Temple, right?" I watched it, and it was very exciting! ā€

"Is it just exciting? Don't you see the author's assurances that what he says is true, that there is a lot of treasure buried in the secret chamber of the Padwanaba Swamy Temple! Marville reminded.

Unexpectedly, George scoffed and said, "Do you really believe this?" This is obviously the kind of guy who wrote the novel and made it up. ā€

"But the treasure of the Padwanaba Swami Temple has always been circulated, and it was not made up by the author out of thin air." Marville argued.

"Why do you want to try it the way he says it?" George asked Monet in some surprise.

Marville nodded and replied: "That's right, I just want to try, anyway, even if we fail, we won't have much to lose, at most it's just a few drinks for my soldiers." ā€

"And what about the Valmar family?" George asked.

Marveille snorted coldly and said, "Our British Empire's army still needs to care about the opinions of these natives?" ā€

"That's true, but in case of the novel, let's give them a little." George replied cautiously.

As a result, he was teased by Marveill: "You are more long-term than I thought, I am not sure if there is a treasure or not, and you have already begun to think about how to distribute it!" ā€

So George's face was a little unbearable and said, "Then you still can't dig or not?" ā€

Marville hurriedly reassured: "Dig, dig, dig, of course you have to dig!" ā€
