No one cares about Sherlock's identity, only what he wants to do when he stands up.
Nock said with a mocking look on his face: "Okay, young Mr. Detective, you just said you wanted to expose my hypocritical face, so please start your show."
After saying that, Nok did not forget to politely make an invitation gesture, and took two steps back to clear the space in front of him, as if he was really freeing up the stage for the performance.
Nok's unabashed sarcasm made everyone burst into laughter.
Sherlock listened to the ridicule in his ears and secretly hated him: "Stupid civilians, hopeless bedbugs."
He calmed down his emotions and looked at everyone calmly: "Everyone, I am Sherlock Holmes, the nephew of Ford Holmes whom Nook Lane mentioned before."
"My uncle was attacked by the [Ripper] and escaped the murderous hands of the [Ripper] at the expense of his servants. However, after the incident, the police station was a little bit critical of the confession provided by my uncle. For this reason, My uncle spent a lot of money to commission Nock Lane to investigate [The Ripper].
But the next day, the police department proved that there was no problem with my uncle's testimony, so my uncle planned to find Nock Lane to cancel the commission and get back the reward. "
"But Nock Lane claimed that he had fought against [The Ripper] last night, and the police station was able to prove that my uncle's testimony was true, and it was also because of him, Nock Lane. Therefore, not only did he not return the reward, In turn, he extorted a sum of money from my uncle as a thank you gift. My uncle's servants can testify to this."
At this point, Sherlock stopped deliberately and looked at Nok, trying to see if he would interrupt him angrily.
But Nok smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Sherlock to continue, which made Sherlock feel defeated and very annoyed.
He gritted his teeth and continued speaking: "Perhaps my uncle discovered something. After reluctantly leaving a box of thank-you gifts, he returned home angrily with his servants. But when he got home, he received a mysterious letter. "
"After reading the letter, my uncle hurriedly left home again, taking a servant driving a car, and hurried out of the city."
"My uncle never came back after leaving the city. He disappeared."
"The horse that pulled the cart came back alone on the morning of the third day."
Sherlock paused and changed the subject. Speaking of:
"You must be wondering why I say these seemingly insignificant words? Because it will make my subsequent accusations more reasonable."
"Because I was investigating the truth about my uncle's disappearance, I knew that Nok Lane had been entrusted by my uncle, so I came to ask him to investigate my uncle's whereabouts."
"At first, he refused. After I repeatedly requested and offered a heavy reward, he reluctantly agreed to my request."
"However, on the third day, he only took out a wooden board with the Holmes family crest engraved on it, told me that it was the remains of my uncle's carriage, and warned me not to investigate my uncle's whereabouts again, and then treated me with a bad attitude. Driven out of the monastery."
"I was puzzled by Nook Lane's arrogant and respectful behavior. So I investigated his affairs in depth, and found out that there was some unpleasantness between him and my uncle."
"Then the perfunctory investigation results he gave me seem to make sense."
"But why did he deal with me? He could have refused my request. There was no need to deal with me with a burnt wooden board."
"So, I asked someone to identify the burnt wooden board and confirmed that it was indeed the remains of the carriage my uncle traveled in."
"Does this mean that Nook Lane actually knows the whereabouts of my uncle, but he is unwilling to tell me?"
"why is that!"
"Aren't you guys weird too?"
Sherlock suddenly burst out emotionally. He excitedly pointed at Nok and shouted: "But if Nok Lane himself is related to the disappearance of my uncle, or is the real culprit behind the scenes, can that explain his strange behavior?" Did you act?"
Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions changed suddenly, and they all cast suspicious eyes on Nok, who was smiling.
Knock doesn't seem at all concerned about Shylock's accusations against him.
Sherlock felt that this was an incompetent bluff.
He continued to say excitedly: "Because, he is [The Ripper]! I infer that maybe when he attacked my uncle, he found that my uncle was frightened by the death of the servant, had hallucinations, and thought it was profitable. After giving my uncle some hint, I deliberately let my uncle go."
"Then, after receiving a large commission fee from my uncle, he only had to attack women who came home late as usual, and he had an excuse to continue blackmailing my uncle. He also did so."
"However, his behavior angered my uncle. During the confrontation, perhaps there was a flaw somewhere, and my uncle discovered his secret. Therefore, my uncle left in a hurry."
"But he may have realized that my uncle knew his secret, so he actually chased him home and found someone to give my uncle a secret letter. There must have been threatening words in the letter, so my uncle would leave without saying a word. Go home and see him."
"I didn't expect that my uncle never came back. Obviously, he must have been poisoned by him!"
"However, under the temptation of me to pay a lot of money, he actually handed over to me the evidence after he attacked my uncle! He also threatened me not to continue the investigation!"
"If he was not the murderer, why didn't he tell me the whereabouts of my uncle when he knew it? If he didn't know the whereabouts of my uncle, then why could he take out the remains of my uncle's carriage after he was attacked!"
"Why can an orphan like him find something that neither the police station nor my servants can find?"
"I can't think of any reason other than the answer that he is the murderer!"
Shylock's angry roar echoed in the church, and even the statue of the Virgin was moved by the grievance and anger in his tone.
Everyone's eyes changed when they looked at Nok. Some were gloating, some were suspicious, some were scared, and some were nervous.
Only Nok kept a smile on his face.
Sheriff Allen Cowart jumped out with a proud look on his face: "Noak Lane, what else do you have to say this time! Why don't you get caught quickly! Any more sophistry will only make you more guilty!"
Nok rolled his eyes at him arrogantly and said rudely: "Mr. Director, you want to convict me based on such one-sided words? Am I saying that you are stupid? Or are you impatient?"
"Are you going to arrest me without even giving me a chance to refute this detective? In that case, why would you bother to find any witnesses and just take me away by force?"
Allen's face turned blue with anger, he didn't want to! He doesn't dare!
Just one Markrem H. Hua gave him a headache. Who knows if there are bored and prominent people in the crowd watching the fun!
Seeing that Allen was so reprimanded that he didn't dare to say a word, Nok sneered disdainfully and continued:
"What Mr. Detective said is generally correct, regardless of the concealment and false speculations that are detrimental to him."
As soon as Nok said these words, Sherlock's face suddenly turned dark.
What is unfavorable concealment and false speculation?
If you directly say anything that is not beneficial to you, it is all lies!
Sure enough, Nok's next words made Sherlock change his color.
"First of all, I want to state that I have no idea about the whereabouts of Mr. Ford Holmes. But according to the clues I have investigated, he has either been killed or is in huge trouble. The trouble is so big that I can't I dare not touch it again, and I dare not interfere. That’s why I refused this detective’s commission to continue the investigation.”
Nok glanced at Sherlock, and then said in an exaggerated tone: "After all, I personally think it is not worth it to risk the life of a servant of the Holy Lord for twelve gold coins."
"Oh, sorry, I forgot, there are still twenty silver coins." Nok's sarcastic eyes hurt Sherlock deeply.
"I have to thank Mr. Detective for his generosity. After all, he never thought of paying before. It was the Holy Lord who inspired him, and he decided to donate a huge amount of twelve gold coins and twenty silver coins to the monastery. The Holy Lord sent I accepted his commission."
"Three days later, I did bring him a wooden board with the Holmes family crest engraved on it. But I also brought back news of the death of the servant who accompanied Mr. Ford Holmes. Why didn't Mr. Detective mention it?"
"Moreover, Mr. Detective didn't say anything about the fact that I came back seriously injured!"
"The most important thing is that the reason why I refused to continue investigating the whereabouts of Mr. Ford Holmes has not been revealed by the detective!"
"In that case, let me speak out for Mr. Detective! It just so happens that I also want to seek everyone's opinions to see if I made a mistake in rejecting Mr. Detective's commission."
Nock kept saying "Mr. Detective", which already made Sherlock feel full of ridicule. Unexpectedly, Nock would reveal his plot against the monastery, and Sherlock suddenly panicked.
But he was too late to stop Nok, he only heard Nok say excitedly.
“The reason why I rejected Mr. Detective’s follow-up commission and kicked him out of the monastery was because he came to the monastery every day to harass my brothers and sisters while I was away investigating the whereabouts of Mr. Ford Holmes for him.
Not only that, he even sneaked into the monastery secretly when the children in the monastery were not at home, trying to sneak into my residence. "
"What is his behavior? This is the behavior of a thief and a scoundrel! This is not the behavior that a noble should behave!"
"But you think this is the only extent of his shamelessness?"
"No! His next behavior will be even more shameless and bad!"
"That's enough! Shut up!" Sherlock hurriedly stopped him, trying to interrupt Nok's words.
"Not enough! Mr. Detective, you have no right to stop me! People have the right to know the truth of the whole thing! Instead of being immersed in your omitted and fabricated stories!"
At this moment, Nok scolded Sherlock righteously.
This made both Sherlock and Allen have an unconscious thought: things are getting tricky!
[On March 3rd, I went to watch people singing duets. Forgot to set the update. Hehe, I forgot about the fact that there are no holidays in other places. o(*≧▽≦)ツ】
