Nok's upright and awe-inspiring attitude made the melon-eaters' eyes light up. This is the rhythm of a big melon!
Sure enough, Nock's next words ignited the atmosphere in the audience.
"Our Mr. Detective was hit by the returning children while sneaking in and was caught on the spot."
"Seeing that he was looking for me, the children didn't care about him and still took him to the reception room next to him to entertain him."
"But Mr. Detective, whose disguise was broken, immediately turned against him."
Nock looked trembling with anger, pointed at Sherlock and accused with gritted teeth: "Not only did this Mr. Detective not feel ashamed for sneaking into other people's homes and being discovered, he instead acted like a noble child and arrogantly let Lilian, who entertained him warmly every day, knelt in front of him, apologized to him and admitted his mistake, and even asked my sister in front of the Holy Mother..."
"Sorry, although he didn't succeed, for the sake of my sister's reputation, I won't elaborate on this shameless gentleman's request."
Nok's secretive behavior made the people thinking about it.
Especially when I saw the shy face of Lillian who was dressed in simple clothes. Upon closer inspection, I saw that this inconspicuous girl turned out to be a budding tulip!
"Everyone, how dare he!" Nok pointed at Sherlock sadly and scolded loudly.
"In the monastery with Our Lady, next to the church of the Holy Lord, he dared to insult a believer of the Holy Lord in this way and blaspheme. Who gave him the courage and right!"
"Is it the law of the kingdom? Or is it the privilege of the nobility? Or is it the money power of his Holmes family that is full of money!"
"If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid he would have succeeded!"
"My sister is just a quasi-nun who is dedicated to monasticism. She is kind and simple. Faced with Mr. Detective threatening the safety of other children in the convent, she almost gave in! If it hadn't been for my appearance, then everyone standing here wouldn't be listening. I defend myself! Instead, watch me seek justice at the gate of Holmes Manor!"
"You said, in this case, as the administrator of the monastery, the big brother of the children, and their support, I can let this Mr. Detective bully the people in our monastery?"
"No! Even if he is the son of a noble in the kingdom! But there is no law in the kingdom. The son of a noble can create something out of thin air and bully the people of the kingdom at will! Our monastery is not a citizen of his Holmes family's territory!"
"If the Holmes family has territory."
Nock's superfluous words made the audience burst into laughter again.
Some people even shouted: "Hey, the kingdom actually has a new lord and noble! We don't know about such a big thing!"
Faced with everyone's annoyance, Sherlock was so angry that his face turned black.
But Nok had no intention of letting him go, and continued to speak:
"At that time, when I saw my sister Lillian being forced to kneel in front of him, I was angry! I scolded him and wanted to beat him up, but I held back."
"Mr. Detective can be rude and arrogant, but I can't! I can only scold him sternly, trying to make him realize his mistake and apologize to Lillian."
"But I underestimated Mr. Detective's shamelessness. Faced with my scolding, he burst into tears, trying to cover up his mistake with fake crying."
"What can I do? I can only hold back my anger, tell him the results of the three days of investigation, and then rudely refuse the subsequent commission, invite him out of the monastery, and tell him that he is not welcome here. .”
"But obviously, it has become Mr. Detective's habit to show up uninvited. Today he showed up uninvited again. And he came with malicious intent."
"I don't know how I look like [The Ripper]? Just because I am an orphan, or because I am an orphan and have become a professional, so some people think I am an eyesore and they have to crucify me!"
"Since you think I concealed the results of Ford Holmes' investigation because I am the murderer, then I will confess my investigation. But if you are in danger because of what you heard today, it must not be on me. With the Abbey."
"Perhaps you have also noticed these days that the supply of vegetables on the market has become less?"
"In other words, the types of vegetables have become simpler."
Nok looked at the people who were talking about his words and immediately released a piece of shocking news.
"That's because the village of Korede, known as the 'cradle' to the west, has been destroyed by mysterious forces!"
This news exploded in the crowd like thunder.
"What!"
"impossible!"
"No!"
"How come we didn't know!"
Everyone looked horrified. As the main vegetable supply base in Yinglun City, the village was wiped out by people but was not discovered. It was very scary to think about it!
You know, Corred is only a two-hour carriage ride from England!
"Father Ryan is lying, right?"
"I don't think so! After all, destroying a village can be clarified by casual investigation and cannot be faked."
Some in the crowd doubted Knock's words, but they were quickly dismissed.
Sherlock was also shocked by the news that Nok broke. After all, he didn't know about it before.
Allen was even more chilled all over!
If this is true, then he has seriously neglected his duty!
Although Korede is one of the territories of a certain marquis, it is theoretically not under the jurisdiction of the police station.
But if a murder occurs, it falls under the control of the British Police Department!
But the British Police Department didn't even receive the news. That's not a dereliction of duty!
Nok was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and continued to speak while the iron was hot:
"When I was tracing the whereabouts of Mr. Ford Holmes, I tracked down Creed, and ended up falling into an illusion trap that had been set there a long time ago. After I tried my best to break the trap, I saw the burned Creed and all the people on the ground. Wraith."
"I spent two days purifying all the ghosts, found the remains of the Holmes family carriage, and brought back the remains of the wooden board with the Holmes family emblem engraved on it."
"As for the illusion of the village, I didn't break it because I felt there was a big conspiracy in it."
"Therefore, if the Director wants to confirm whether I am lying, it is best to go to the Magician's Guild to find a magician who is proficient in illusions, or to the Thieves' Guild to find a fellow thief who is proficient in breaking illusion traps. Otherwise, , your people can only see Korede presented by illusion. This is my heartfelt advice."
"Getting back to the subject, just because I know that Korede's matter is very involved, even though I hate this detective very much, as a servant of the benevolent Holy Lord, I still can't bear to let this young detective be blamed for investigating this matter. And because of the misfortune, he concealed the situation of Creed, only told him that Mr. Ford’s whereabouts were unknown, and advised him not to continue investigating.”
"Unfortunately, my good intentions seem to have been misunderstood. The young detective seems to believe that I am the real culprit who kidnapped his uncle? And he has always held a grudge?"
"Otherwise, how could he hide the facts and only tell testimony that is favorable to himself to accuse me of being a murderer? Moreover, even if I really kidnapped Mr. Holmes, that doesn't mean I am the [Ripper], right?"
"Why do Mr. Detective and Mr. Director insist on saying that I am the "Ripper"? Is it possible that you two have tried so hard to frame me just to convict me of being the "Ripper"? Is it possible that you two have tried so hard to frame me? , is there something fishy in it?"
Nok's counterattack came so suddenly, catching Allen and Sherlock off guard.
Fortunately, Sherlock still had a backup plan. He didn't care about pretending to be elegant anymore, and gritted his teeth and said: "Don't be complacent! I still have witnesses who can prove that you are the [Ripper]! Otherwise, do you think we can really unjustly accuse you!"
With that, he turned around and shouted loudly toward the door: "Ruff, please come in Mrs. Hudson."
As Sherlock's voice fell, the crowd was separated again. A man dressed as a servant led the way, and a red-haired woman wearing a small top hat with a veil hanging under the small top hat to cover her face was dressed in beige. Wearing a lady's skirt, she walked in awkwardly.
Sherlock couldn't wait to see Nok's surprised expression, so he didn't notice the lady's embarrassment and stepped forward to invite her to the center of the church.
"Ma'am, please come this way."
When the lady stood awkwardly in everyone's sight, Sherlock said excitedly: "This lady is the only survivor who was attacked by the Ripper, Mrs. Daisy Green Hudson! Next, it’s up to her to testify against Nook Lane in person!”
However, when he finished speaking, Mrs. Hudson did not speak despite the high expectations.
Instead, he looked around anxiously, then lowered his head, trying to reduce his presence as much as possible.
"Mrs. Hudson? What's going on with you? You can start."
Sherlock urged anxiously, not caring at all about Mrs. Hudson's weird behavior.
Now, even Alan Covert couldn't stand it anymore.
He pushed Sherlock away, approached Mrs. Hudson, and said softly: "Madam, please don't be nervous. Just tell me what you know. Our police station will seek justice for you." Yes, you don’t have to be afraid of retaliation. With us here, no one dares to retaliate against you.”
Mrs. Hudson said nervously to Allen with a tearful tone: "Mr. Director, this... this is different from what we promised. You clearly promised me that you would protect my privacy!"
Perhaps her emotions had reached her peak, and her emotions exploded directly, shouting at the top of her lungs:
"But there are so many people here now, and you have exposed my name! What privacy do I have? What else do you want me to say! You can't even do the most basic ethics!"
At this point, Mrs. Hudson was already crying.
Allen's face changed, and he glared at Sherlock angrily.
Although people couldn't see her specific expression under the veil, her words made everyone feel sorry for her.
"No way! You promised to help people hide their identities, but they actually exposed their names directly."
"Yeah, it's very unprofessional. Are you just not afraid of retaliation?"
"Looking at Mr. Director's expression, it seems that this was the detective's own initiative."
[No way, no way. There won’t be anyone who won’t watch the antiphonal show on March 3rd, right? I also sang a song with my tone-deaf voice in exchange for a small gift! Jie hee hee ((*^▽^*))】
