Volume 1 The Road to Rise Chapter 004 The Lost Sherlock Holmes

"Father, I'm guilty."

"I even suspected that my brother was having an affair with his wife."

"My brother respects me so much, and every time I get in trouble, he goes out of his way to stand up for me."

"Damn, how can I be so wolf-hearted and suspicious of my brother!"

"And my wife, every time I go out to do business, she will intimately tell me to be careful all the way, she will personally sort out my luggage for me, and she will never fake the hands of a servant."

"Oh, such a sweet and lovely wife, I would have doubted my dearest Anna! I am truly unforgivable! ”

"My heart is really black, I may really become a black-hearted businessman tainted by the smell of copper!"

"O Lord! Please redeem me, a filthy soul tainted by money! ”

Nock, who was sitting in the next cubicle, listened to the chatter in his ears, and the corners of his mouth twitched wildly.

He is not an orthodox clergyman, to be precise, if he were not a duck, he would not even be a priest, let alone a priest.

Therefore, he could not be at ease after listening to the confessions of the penitents, as other priests do.

At this time, his heart had already been turned upside down by the words of this Mr. Holmes!

If money is a sin, he is willing to be unforgivable!

If the rich soul is defiled, he is willing to go to hell and worship Satan!

"Oh, I'm sorry, Lord, I didn't mean to, I actually fell!"

Nock hurriedly silently accompanied Mr. Holmes to confess in his heart, and he was shaken by a few words.

But is this Mr. Holmes' home so messy?

My brother actually got involved with his wife?

Although this Mr. Holmes was repenting every word, how could he doubt his brother and wife without evidence.

He didn't come to repent, but he seemed to be looking for an excuse to convince himself that he was wrong!

Although Nock also heard that there was a lot of chaos in the aristocratic circle, he didn't expect it to be so chaotic!

He also thought that, at most, it was like what was written in the knight's novel, which noble lady secretly got along with the handsome knight in the family, and then eloped together, or the knight returned with a meritorious career and hugged the beauty and so on.

This is already the most absurd plot he can accept, but he didn't expect to open his eyes today!

What a meeting of Satan!

In this way, Mr. Holmes's confession, which lasted for more than an hour, finally came to an end when he heard Nock drowsy.

Nock hurriedly took the other party back to the side hall and poured the cold tea.

There is no way, with almost no believers coming to the door, the monastery has long since stopped preparing tea.

The tea leaves used today are still bought by Father John when he was alive.

It's also that Nok is at home, and when Nok is not at home, I'm afraid that Lilian won't even prepare boiling water for the guests.

After all, their family is really poor!

Firewood also costs money!

There are monsters in the wild, and Nok won't let the children venture out of the city to collect firewood because they save a little firewood money.

Sitting down again, Mr. Holmes, who had a dry mouth, didn't care that the tea was cold, and it was "gurgling" when he took it.

"Ha~"

He sighed heavily, as if the rescued Mr. Holmes had just straightened up his posture and sat upright looking at Nock.

"It's rude, Father Lane. I'm so thirsty. ”

Nock smiled indifferently, and calmly refilled the other party with a cup of herbal tea, ignoring the other party's gaffe just now.

Although Nock was not a nobleman, he had seen countless nobles.

Knowing that these people are all overseas Chinese, if you pretend to answer "it's okay", the other party will be nervous.

But on the other hand, if you pretend to turn a blind eye, the other person will be relieved and grateful to you.

"Mr. Holmes, now speak of your wishes. What do you want me to point you into? ”

Nock had already figured out how to fool the other party.

Although he didn't know anything about feelings, he had seen how John fooled ...... No, how to solve people, he is also ready to fool the other party.

Anyway, in this case, it is either to satisfy the other party's self-deception, or to persuade the other party to expose the "love" of his brother and wife.

However, as soon as Mr. Holmes spoke, Nock knew he was wrong!

"Father Lane, that's right. I don't know if you've heard rumors about the Baker Street Killer? ”

Looking at Mr. Holmes, who suddenly became mysterious, Nock felt embarrassed, after all, he thought that people were distressed about the "love" of his brother and wife.

Who would have thought that the other party would actually come here to kill maniacs.

Nock took a deep breath and calmed down, "Mr. Holmes means [Ripper]?" ”

Ford Holmes nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes." ”

Nock didn't know why the other party wanted to mention this murderous maniac, but he still opened up the conversation.

"[Ripper] I've heard of it. Legend has it that this murderous maniac only haunts at night, and its range of activities is only around Baker Street, targeting women, and the methods are ruthless and bloody, and now many women who return late have been killed.

The British patrol has listed him as a top target, and the victim's family has also put up bounties in various professional offices, and it is only a matter of time before this murderer is caught.

I wonder if Mr. Holmes has any problems mentioning this murderer? ”

Nock looked at Ford Holmes suspiciously, wondering why the other party didn't care about his marriage, but instead cared about the murderer.

Although this [Ripper] method is cruel, if you are targeted by the profession, you will definitely be caught soon.

After all, the group of guys in the professional institute are all extraordinary existences.

No matter how cruel [Ripper] is, from the point of view of his methods, he is just an ordinary pervert.

Ford Holmes hesitated, as if he had made some major decision, and looked up at Nock.

"Father Lane, will you trust me? After all, what I'm going to say next is a bit of a stranger. ”

Looking at the other party's solemn appearance, Nock suddenly became interested.

He sat upright, looked at each other with a solemn expression, and replied in a kind but dignified tone: "Mr. Holmes, you are a devout believer in the Lord, and I, Nock Lane, am the most faithful servant of the Lord. I serve the Lord and share the sorrows of His followers on the Lord's behalf. So, Mr. Holmes, rest assured that Nock Lane deserves your trust. ”

Being so solemnly fooled by Nock, Ford Holmes's heart was filled with a sense of attention.

After all, he had told his wife and brother about his suspicions, and in exchange for doubts.

"That's right, Father Lane."

Ford Holmes tells the story.

It turned out that Ford Holmes, by chance, was passing by Baker Street on his way home from a late home and heard a woman's screams.

This reminded him of the rumors of the murderer [the Ripper], so he ordered the servant who acted as a coachman to get out of the car with him and look in the direction of the woman's screams.

As a result, he really met the [Ripper] who was committing murder.

It's just that the [Ripper] he saw was not a perverted murderer as speculated by the police at all, but a monster with sharp claws!

At that time, the monster also found the two Sherlock Holmes master and servant who rushed in, and abandoned the corpse in their hands and killed them on the spot.

Where did the Sherlock Holmes master and servant think that the murderer turned out to be a monster, they turned around in a panic and fled.

As a pampered businessman, the younger brother of the family is still a nobleman, and Ford Holmes is naturally not as fast as his own servants.

Even if he cried out loudly, the servants did not turn back to save him.

But just when he was pounced on by the monster and thought he was about to return to the arms of the Lord, the monster only sniffed at him a few times, and then abandoned him to catch up with the servant and brutally killed the fleeing servant.

At this time, Ford Holmes also fainted because of excessive fright.

By the time he woke up, he was already in the hospital.

It was not his considerate wife who was waiting for him in the ward, but the British patrolman.

After some questioning, the patrol officer did not believe his words at all.

Instead, he questioned him as a murderer.

After all, except for the two corpses at the scene, he was the only survivor left.

Fortunately, his younger brother arrived in time and revealed the identity of the nobleman, and the patrol changed his attitude.

Later, after his brother's explanation, he learned that the patrol police actually knew that Ford was not the murderer, but the [Ripper] had committed too many crimes, and the police station had no clue to solve the case, so they wanted to arrest him, a survivor, for the crime.

As a result, I didn't expect Ford's younger brother to be a nobleman, and he was also a nobleman with real power in the kingdom, so he was unwilling to let Ford go.

Of course, Ford's younger brother also taught the group of guys at the police station a hard lesson afterwards, and the police station had a big change.

But the police station still did not accept Ford's confession.

It is said that they have also asked professionals to examine the corpse, and there is no dark aura of monsters on it at all.

It can't be a monster messing around.

Because all monsters will have a dark aura on their bodies, unless the other party is a high-level dark creature that can restrain the aura on their bodies.

In that case, Ford Holmes, who broke the identity of the other party, would not have survived at all.

A high-level dark creature, that is an existence that the former knights needed to lose their troops to deal with.

Even if the Knights are now hidden behind the scenes because of the appearance of the muskets, no one doubts their ability to go it alone!

Not only did the police not believe Ford's words, but even his brother didn't believe him.

Because his younger brother has been dealing with monsters a lot in his own right, he is the most sensitive to the breath of monsters.

But his brother said that he couldn't feel the remnants of the monster from Ford.

This is not normal.

Because according to Ford, the monsters all knocked him down and left scratches on his clothes, and it was impossible for the breath to disappear in less than a day.

Ford's wife suspected that Ford was hallucinating because of the excessive shock of the murder case, and did not believe in the new profession of hospitals, so Ford's wife Anna even invited a missionary of the Natural God Cult to pray for Ford's blessing and exorcism.

After two days of tossing, Ford got out of his home and sneaked to the convent.

After all, in his heart, neither the Profession nor the Cult of Deities could compare to the oldest Holy Church.

For the Holy Lord of the Holy Church, also known as the God of the Dawn, is the existence of all creatures of darkness.

Therefore, even if the Cult of Deity could not find anything, he firmly believed that the Holy Church would definitely find out the clues.

After listening to Ford Holmes's description, Nock's eyes suddenly lit up!
