Volume 1 The Road to Rise Chapter 042 The rescue from the palace, the farce ends

Sherlock couldn't have imagined that his overspoken words would make the witness emotionally collapse!

Glancing at Allen, he was a little at a loss at this time.

If no outsiders were present, relying on his aristocratic status, he might still be able to scold Mrs. Hudson.

But now he doesn't dare to do it, he's just young and vigorous, not stupid.

Alan could only calmly coax Mrs. Hudson.

"Madam, I sincerely apologize to you for our mistakes, and we will compensate you afterwards. And we promise that if any trouble is caused to you in the future because of today's incident, our police station will come forward to solve it for you, what do you think? ”

"Now we need your testimony to prove the prisoner in front of us...... Suspect's crime. ”

Alan, who originally wanted to say "prisoner", couldn't help but use the word "suspect" to call Nock after he looked at Nock's smiling expression.

This guy is so evil that Alan decided it would be better to be steady.

Perhaps it was Allen's assurance that gave Mrs. Hudson courage, or maybe Hudson broke the jar and finally put away her cry and turned to Nock.

She looked up and down at the handsome young man with a special hair color in front of her, and her heart couldn't help but waver: What a handsome young man! If so......

She hurriedly lowered her head and shook off the shameful thoughts in her mind to calm her mood.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Administrator. I don't know this gentleman. ”

Mrs. Hudson's words were completely unexpected by everyone present, even Nock.

After all, he thought that Mrs. Hudson had been specially invited by Sherlock to frame him.

"What!"

Both Alan and Sherlock were stunned.

Sherlock stepped forward directly and shouted anxiously, "Madam, you're not mistaken! How could you not know him! He's a Ripper! [Ripper]! Attacked your Ripper! ”

Sherlock's actions made Mrs. Hudson's face change under the veil, and she took a step back in disgust, widening the distance between her and Sherlock.

Nock interrupted appropriately, "Mr. Detective, be careful with your words!" You just want to accuse me of being the Ripper, but now you have no proof that I am, so please don't call me by that word, or I'll sue the Kingdom for maliciously defaming an upright priest!" ”

Nock's words, like a pour of cold water, calmed Sherlock.

He glared at Nock reluctantly, stepped aside when Alan stopped him, and returned the reins to Mrs. Hudson.

Mrs. Hudson casually glanced at Nock, only to find that Nock actually gave her a warm smile back, and her heart immediately felt a good impression of Nock.

She said calmly: "Mr. Commissioner, I really don't know this young priest. I've been attacked by the Ripper, yes, but as I said, the Ripper is a tall monster with long arms, claws, and a tail. I don't remember what it looked like, I thought I was going to die, so I was scared out. ”

"If you want me to identify the young priest in front of me as the Ripper, I can only say I'm sorry. The [Ripper] I saw was not as handsome as this priest, otherwise I wouldn't have been stunned. ”

Mrs. Hudson's words drew good-natured laughter from the crowd of onlookers.

Mrs. Hudson's sudden "backstabbing" made Alan and Sherlock almost vomit blood on the spot.

The two wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and began to think about countermeasures.

Sherlock, whose eyes had been rolling wildly, was suddenly attracted by something, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.

He pointed to the evidence in Domir's hand and said in ecstasy: "Mrs. Hudson, please take a look at the evidence in Domir's hand and see if it is your thing!" ”

Oh, yes! In order to convict Nock Lane, when he went to persuade Mrs. Hudson to testify, he secretly stole Mrs. Hudson's necklace and gave it to Allen, so that he could find a way to hide the evidence in Nock's room.

Isn't it time for this piece of evidence to come into play?

It's a pity that Sherlock has calculated that Mrs. Hudson will cooperate with this.

If Sherlock had invited Mrs. Hudson out in the first place and not given Nock a chance to defend himself, perhaps Mrs. Hudson would have cooperated with him by admitting that the necklace in the exhibit was hers.

After all, this is the necklace she has always liked.

But after Nock had classified the evidence as a gift from his admirer, how could Mrs. Hudson still admit that the necklace was her own!

So, Mrs. Hudson's face turned blue with anger behind the veil, and her voice denied coldly: "I'm sorry, I don't know these things. And didn't Mr. Priest say that this is a gift from his admirers. I'm a married woman who can't do such a thing. ”

"Of course, if I had known the priest before I got married, I might have given him a gift. After all, handsome men are always more likely to be favored by women. Mr. Detective doesn't have to be jealous of this. ”

Mrs. Hudson gave Sherlock a small sarcastic remark as her counterattack against Sherlock.

After today, I don't know how her new husband should be cranky.

I wouldn't have waded into this troubled water!

But she was afraid that the [Ripper] thief would not die, and continued to target her.

After all, I've never heard of a [Ripper] having a living mouth in his hands.

Especially after she learned that another survivor, Mr. Mister, had mysteriously disappeared.

As the only survivor, she was naturally even more scared.

That's why she met the young lobbyist privately without her husband's knowledge.

But who would have thought that this eloquent lobbyist actually backstabbed her at the beginning, not only arrogant and rude, but also exposed her name, making her carefully disguise it as a joke.

Mrs. Hudson's counterattack made Sherlock a vile villain who was jealous of Nock.

The eyes of everyone looking at him completely turned into disdain.

Sherlock could not accept such an outcome, and he shouted loudly, "No! You're lying! This necklace is clearly yours! Why don't you admit it! ”

Looking at the excited Sherlock, Mrs. Hudson's red lips under the veil showed a sarcastic smile.

She calmly retorted, "Why are you so sure that necklace is mine?" Don't I know my stuff myself? ”

Sherlock was so enraged that he didn't notice the trap that Mrs. Hudson had set for him, and opened his mouth to say, "That's because this necklace is ......"

"Sherlock Holmes Detective! You're enough! ”

Director Allen suddenly opened his mouth and scolded Sherlock, interrupting the rest of his words.

"Mrs. Hudson is a witness we have invited, not a prisoner being interrogated! Watch what you say and do! Although I understand your desire to solve the case, this is not a reason to let you do nonsense, you step down for me! ”

Alan was really afraid that this Sherlock Holmes imp would say that the necklace was stolen by him.

If the truth is exposed, he and Sherlock will have to be beaten to death by the excited crowd at the scene!

Pity!

Nock and Mrs. Hudson's eyes flashed with disappointment.

Nock saw that Alan and Sherlock had exhausted their skills, and wanted to stand up and attack.

However, the unexpected happened.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Her Majesty has an order! ”

A royal knight with a scroll of warrants rushed to the door of the church on a tall horse, unfurled the warrant in front of everyone, and read it aloud.

"The Queen has ordered Director Allen, Sherlock Holmes, and Father Lane to go to the palace for an audience, and set off immediately, without mistake!"

Everyone who heard the queen's order had already knelt on the ground, but after listening to the content of the warrant, everyone looked at each other and was silent.

What's going on? How did Her Majesty know about this matter, and summoned the person concerned.

In this case, they will not be able to continue to eat melons!

Although the people were very uncomfortable, they did not dare to disobey the king's command.

But Nock didn't care, although he bowed and accepted the king's order, he didn't open his mouth to receive the order, but looked at Alan who received the order and asked.

"Mr. Director, don't be in a hurry to see Her Majesty, you can give me a statement first, how to settle the matter here. Don't let me follow you to Her Majesty when the time comes, turn around and your men will loot my monastery, and I will talk to someone when the time comes. ”

Nock pointed to the "evidence" in Sheriff Domir's hand and said dissatisfiedly, "This is all the property of my monastery. There are also sacred relics that have been passed down by my monastery for hundreds of years, and if you damage them, don't blame me for reporting them to the Holy Court. ”

Nock's words, let Director Allen sit on wax.

Although I don't want to let Nock Lane go like this.

But today's accusation has clearly failed.

Fortunately, the queen summoned her, otherwise Alan didn't know how to end it.

Therefore, where does he dare to talk nonsense.

"Sergeant Domir, return the things to them, and by the way, go back to the police station, and wait for my instructions, I will go to see Her Majesty first, and everything will be said when I come back."

Alan evaded the importance and asked Domir to return the "evidence" to Nock, who took it and handed it directly to Lillian.

"Take care of yourselves, I'll talk about it when I get back."

After an equally simple explanation to Lillian, Nock turned to look at the crowd still stranded in the monastery.

"Let's disperse, everyone, the farce is over, there's nothing to see. Our monastery is closing its doors. ”

Under Nock's eviction order, everyone could not stay any longer, so they could only leave in an orderly manner.

After all, there was a royal knight on the scene who was "eyeing them", and the pressure was too great.

When the people had evacuated, the royal knight spoke, "Everyone, get on the carriage, the carriage has been prepared for you outside." ”

Originally, this royal knight didn't need to be so polite, after all, the royal decree said to set off immediately.

But when he left the palace, the herald told him that he must respect Father Lane's decision, and that he should not be rude to the priest even if he refused to be ordered to come to the palace.

Such an incomprehensible command, the knight even thought that the herald was asleep.

At the urging of the royal knights, the three named got into the same carriage.

In the carriage, Alan and Sherlock sat together, and Nock sat opposite the two, and the atmosphere in the carriage was extremely heavy.
