Sherlock looked at the cute little devil, but in his mouth, it was Duncan's name.

Some people can't understand it, some people can understand it, but reason, or human nature, makes them choose not to think in the darkest direction, and some reporters who are used to seeing the most terrifying and cruel side of the empire, they have an extremely strong psychological endurance, so they dare to speculate on the answer that is cruel to the extreme.

In the midst of this silence, Sherlock's whisper was so deafening:

"This demon. It's Duncan. ”

“.”

The silence remained, no one spoke, let alone dared to interrupt, only some messy breathing sounds, representing that some people seemed to be beginning to lose the truth that was about to appear.

"A man with severed limbs. Sewn into the body of this demon!

His eyes were wrapped, his vocal cords were removed, his lobes were destroyed, and a poor man with a dull mind, no way to make a sound, no way to write any words, he couldn't do anything, and just like that, as a demon, in full view of everyone, he lived to the present. ”

"Wow————"

It is hard to imagine how a soft word can have such a tremendous impact on people's spirit and conscience.

One of the people in the crowd seemed to be a little unbearable, and he suddenly let out a burst of retching, but fortunately, the night's exertion left him with not much in his stomach, so he just shed some sour water.

"Nonsense!"

Vice President Holker on the stage shouted angrily: "How can this be a person? ”

"Duncan is here!" Sherlock's tone was still so cold, and he slowly turned his head to look in the direction of the vice dean:

"It's actually very simple to prove this, after all, he was only sewn into the demon's body, but his structure is still human, he has severed bone traces, he has human organ structure, he has human features, as long as this poor creature is cut open now, the truth will be clearly presented to everyone, you know what the result will be.

Actually, I've always felt that I'm not a person of conscience, but for now, I hope you'd better not let me prove it. ”

Sherlock's gaze never left Vice Dean Hallk's eyes, giving him a feeling of suffocation.

"Huh, so what?" He suddenly retorted, "I don't know where you got such a thing, and I don't care if it's a human or a demon, even if it's really a human being, so what's the matter?" It still has nothing to do with me! ”

"Do you really think it has nothing to do with you? In the entire empire, there are no more than five people who can have this kind of medical ability, and the only person who has the ability to complete such an operation in the life science academy is you! ”

"Why do you say it's just me?" Holker still didn't back down at all: "What if it's a guy who has the ability to perform surgery?" What if it was a pervert from the Department of Medical Research who completed such an operation?

In this era, there are many talents, and there are not a few people who enter the life science institute every year, and there is a coincidence of such a thing, what if a guy completes such an operation by accident? ”

As he spoke, Vice Dean Holke had already stood up, glared at Sherlock and retorted, in fact, there were already some signs of hysteria in his current tone, but he didn't care.

Again, the same sentence. The other party has no evidence.

From beginning to end, he always believed in this! Because apart from that operation, he didn't have any intersection with this demon, not before, and not after, so he knew that the other party was helpless against him!

"Heh, it's really sensible, at such a time, I still bite and refuse to admit it." Sherlock laughed.

He didn't produce evidence. It's as if he really has no proof

But for some reason, Sherlock didn't panic at all, and just brought the topic back to the case.

"When it comes to the murderous method of killing the old dean, this trick is indeed very subtle, because from the beginning to the end, you have not done it, and you don't even need to have anything to do with this experiment.

You just need to keep this demon in one place all the time.

And you are taking advantage of Professor Darwin's butler Maud, who has been loyal to him for decades! ”

"Ah!!h

Old Maude's butler was now standing beside Catherine, and he had not yet recovered from the shock he had just had, and when he heard such words, he almost subconsciously showed a kind of horror.

Sherlock made a 'don't get excited' gesture in the direction of the old butler, and then continued unhurriedly:

"Actually, I only found out this morning.

Because at that time, I asked him something about the old dean's original demon, but I didn't expect that he knew that demon very well, and even told me about the old dean's little by little detachment from the contract relationship with the original demon because of the experiment, as well as the backlash, as well as the control of the demon named Crimson. ”

After speaking, Sherlock put on a puzzled expression and looked at Maude's old butler:

"Actually, I was very strange at the time, where did you hear all these things?

It stands to reason that you are not a contractor and should not know these things.

And you're not a researcher involved in the experiment, so it's impossible for the old dean to tell you this.

So.

Who told you that? ”

When the old butler was asked this, he was stunned for a moment, and then immediately looked at Vice Dean Holke on the stage.

And at the same time.

"I told him, what's wrong?" Vice President Holke himself took the initiative to speak: "What's wrong with this. ”

"Of course there's nothing wrong with it, you just let the old dean's butler take care of this demon carefully, after all, it's the old dean's original demon, if something happens to it, who knows what will happen.

At the same time, you also asked the old butler to put it in the high-oxygen insulated warehouse, and the daily food is not raw carrion, but a highly nutritious compound food, anyway, under this kind of careful care, Duncan can't die if he wants to.

And three months ago, when the old dean was about to present the results of his experiments, suddenly. The insulated compartment where this little devil has been stored all this time is broken!

What a coincidence.

And more coincidentally, the nearby insulation warehouses seemed to be in use, so in desperation, the old housekeeper Maude had to hold the demon and go to a laboratory on the northern edge of the 16th street.

And this laboratory is very close to the place where his master, Professor Darwin, presents the results of his experiments. Close"

At this point, Steward Maude's body suddenly stiffened.

He seemed to realize something, and looked up at Sherlock, then at Vice Dean Holker in the stands, his eyes full of horror.

However, Sherlock did not seem to see his expression at all, and continued:

"In the comparison of time afterwards, I found that the time when the old dean walked into the training venue in order to show the results of the experiment was 9:30 in the morning!

At that time, the old housekeeper Maude was riding in a steam locomotive, anxiously transporting the little devil, or Duncan, to the way to 16th Street.

And because of that!

Duncan disappeared for more than two years, at the moment when many people had forgotten his existence!

Re-entered the control range of [Crimson]! ”

I don't know when the original noise of this venue has gradually become silent, and now there is no sound of the tip of the pen scratching the page, as if everyone has suddenly lost their hearing.

Old housekeeper Maude didn't hear Sherlock's previous analysis of the case, but he seemed to sense something from the atmosphere of the scene, his heart began to beat wildly, his legs went weak, and he fell directly to the ground!

"You have no proof!"

Suddenly, Vice Dean Holker let out the biggest roar he had ever erupted today!

But Sherlock didn't seem to hear it:

"Because Duncan had a frontal lobe removal operation, he has always maintained a miserable state of chaos, and when he entered the control range of the third-order archdemon named Crimson, he quickly re-became the person with the highest degree of matching.

That's why at that moment, Crimson suddenly became slack. Like a marionette that has lost its control, it certainly can't stop another demon's attack. ”

"I said, you don't have proof?!" Vice Dean Holker's voice was a little sharp because of the elevated tone.

"On the logical chain, you are the only one who can facilitate all these things."

"Haha——— then you don't have any proof!" The sweat on Holke's body was already soaking his back, but he smiled: "Dean Darwin is my colleague, friend, and person I admire, and I am afraid that something will happen to his contract creatures, so is there anything wrong with letting his butler take care of this little devil carefully?"

How do I know there's a person sewn inside this little devil?

If the incubator is broken, then it will be broken, and who can guarantee that the experimental facilities will always work properly?

And the man who ran to another lab with that thing was Darwin's old butler, not me.

If you have to find the murderer, go find the old man! ”

He said, and then pointed to Maude on the side, just like that, the old man in the audience suddenly shook his whole body, and then looked at everyone around him with great fear: "It's not me, it's not me I don't know"

He explained, almost with some kind of crying.

While Holker said these words, Hopkins, as a judge, did not interrupt silently.

As for the reason, it's like the vice president said. There is no evidence.

Sherlock has an incomparably complete logical chain, but he has never produced conclusive evidence.

Vice Dean Holke smiled, and the light of victory in his eyes gradually began to bloom, becoming more and more proud, more and more arrogant!

He knew that the detective in front of him couldn't do anything about himself!

It's just a detective, and he can't kill himself in public.

As if hearing the other party's heart, Sherlock turned his head to look at Hopkins on the side:

"I said Your Excellency, according to my usual style of handling cases, now I have pulled his head off, and evidence is a thing that deals with the law, but I don't care at all."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Holmes, but I hate Mr. Holker's face, but I'm a judge after all, and I can't let you do that." Hopkins said helplessly: "So, when will your friend named Watson arrive?" ”

"It should be soon."

The voice did not fall

"Squeak".

The door to the conference room was pushed open for the fourth time.

The next chapter will be sent in a while, and it may involve some "big brother" elements, which are still under review
