Sherlock never expected that his garrulous words would cause the witness to collapse emotionally!
After receiving a look from Allen, he was a little at a loss.
If no outsiders were present, relying on his status as a noble, he might be able to scold Mrs. Hudson.
But he doesn't dare to do that now. He is just young and energetic, not stupid.
Allen could only calmly coax Mrs. Hudson.
"Madam, I sincerely apologize to you for our mistakes at work. We will compensate you afterwards. And we guarantee that if today's incident causes you any trouble in the future, our police station will come forward to help you. Solution, what do you think?"
"Now we need your testimony to prove the crime of this... suspect."
Allen originally wanted to say "prisoner", but when he saw Nock's half-smiling expression, he couldn't help but use the three words "suspect" to refer to Nock.
This guy was so evil that Allen decided to play it safe.
Perhaps it was Allen's assurance that gave Mrs. Hudson courage, or maybe it was because of Hudson's failure that she finally stopped crying and turned to Knock.
She looked up and down at the handsome young man with the special hair color in front of her, and her mind couldn't help but wonder: What a handsome young man! If only...
She quickly lowered her head to get rid of the embarrassing thoughts in her mind and calm down her mood.
"Sorry, Mr. Director. I don't know this gentleman."
Mrs. Hudson's words were completely beyond the expectations of everyone present, even Nok.
After all, he thought Mrs. Hudson was specially invited by Sherlock to frame him.
"What!"
Alan and Sherlock were both stunned.
Sherlock stepped forward directly and shouted anxiously: "Madam, you are not mistaken! How could you not know him! He is [Ripper]! [Ripper]! The [Ripper] who attacked you! "
Sherlock's actions made Mrs. Hudson's expression change under the veil. She took a step back in disgust and distanced herself from Sherlock.
Nock also interrupted at the right time: "Mr. Detective, please pay attention to your wording! You just want to accuse me of being the [Ripper], but now you have no evidence to prove that I am, so please don't use this word to call me, Otherwise I will sue you to the kingdom for malicious defamation of an upright priest!”
Nok's words were like cold water pouring on Sherlock, calming him down.
He glared at Nok unwillingly, stepped aside under Allen's stop, and returned the initiative to Mrs. Hudson.
Mrs. Hudson glanced at Nock inadvertently, but found that Nock gave her a warm smile in return, and her affection for Nock suddenly soared.
She said calmly: "Mr. Director, I really don't know this young priest. It's true that I was attacked by [The Ripper], but I also said that [The Ripper] is a tall monster with a It had long arms, sharp claws, and a tail. I don’t remember what it looked like. I thought I was dead at the time, so I fainted from fright.”
"If you want me to identify the young priest in front of me as [The Ripper], I can only say sorry. The [Ripper] I saw was not as handsome as this priest, otherwise I would not have been I was stunned."
Mrs. Hudson's words aroused good-natured laughter from the crowd.
Mrs. Hudson's sudden "backstab" made Alan and Sherlock almost vomit blood on the spot.
The two of them wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads and began to think about countermeasures.
Sherlock, whose eyes had been rolling around, was suddenly caught by something, and an idea flashed in his mind.
He pointed at the evidence in Domier's hand and said ecstatically: "Mrs. Hudson, please take a look to see if the evidence in Sheriff Domier's hand is yours!"
yes! In order to prove the crime of Nok Lane, when he went to persuade Mrs. Hudson to testify, he secretly stole Mrs. Hudson's necklace and gave it to Allen, asking him to find a way to hide the evidence in Nok Lane. In Gram's room.
Now isn't it time for this piece of evidence to come into play?
Unfortunately, Sherlock had no idea whether Mrs. Hudson would cooperate with this.
If Sherlock had invited Mrs. Hudson out from the beginning and not given Nock a chance to defend himself, maybe Mrs. Hudson would have cooperated with him and admitted that the necklace in the evidence was hers.
After all, this is her favorite necklace.
But after Nock attributed these evidences to gifts from his admirers, how could Mrs. Hudson still admit that the necklace was hers!
So, Mrs. Hudson's face turned blue with anger, and she denied in a cold voice: "I'm sorry, I don't know these things. And didn't Mr. Father say that this is a gift from his admirer. I have already A married woman cannot do such a thing.”
"Of course, if I knew the priest before getting married, I might actually give him a gift. After all, handsome men are always more likely to win the favor of women. Mr. Detective does not need to be jealous about this."
Mrs. Hudson made a small sarcastic remark to Sherlock, which was regarded as her counterattack against Sherlock.
After today, I don’t know what her new husband’s thoughts are about.
If I had known better, I wouldn't have taken this trip!
But she was afraid that the [Ripper] would not die and continue to target her.
After all, I have never heard of the Ripper having anyone alive.
Especially after she learned that another survivor, Mr., disappeared mysteriously.
As the only survivor, she was naturally even more scared.
Therefore, she met with the young lobbyist privately without telling her husband.
But who would have thought that this eloquent lobbyist would backstab her right at the beginning. Not only was he arrogant and rude, he also exposed her name, making her carefully disguise it as a joke.
Mrs. Hudson's counterattack made Sherlock a despicable person who was jealous of Nok for standing here.
Everyone looked at him with eyes that completely turned into contempt.
Sherlock couldn't accept this result. He shouted loudly: "No! You lied! This necklace is obviously yours! Why don't you admit it!"
Looking at the excited Sherlock, Mrs. Hudson's red lips showed a sarcastic smile under her veil.
She asked calmly: "How can you be so sure that the necklace is mine? Don't I know what's mine?"
Sherlock was so angry that he didn't notice the trap that Mrs. Hudson had set for him. He opened his mouth and said, "That's because this necklace is..."
"Detective Holmes! That's enough!"
Director Allen suddenly scolded Sherlock, interrupting the rest of his words.
"Mrs. Hudson is the witness we invited, not the prisoner being interrogated! Pay attention to your words and deeds! Although I understand your desire to solve the case, this is not a reason to let you do whatever you want. Stand down!"
Allen was really afraid that the Holmes kid would say that he had stolen the necklace and framed it.
If the truth is exposed, he and Sherlock will be beaten to death by the excited crowd!
pity!
The eyes of Nock and Mrs. Hudson flashed with disappointment.
Knock saw that Alan and Sherlock were at their wits end, so he wanted to stand up and attack.
However, an accident occurred.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! Her Majesty the Queen has an order!"
A royal knight holding a roll of warrants rushed to the door of the church on a tall horse, unfolded the warrant in front of everyone, and read it loudly.
"The Queen has ordered Director Allen, Sherlock Holmes, and Father Lane to go to the palace to have an audience. They will set off immediately without any mistakes!"
Everyone who heard the Queen's order had already knelt down on the ground, but after hearing the content of the order, everyone looked at each other in silence.
what happened? How did Her Majesty the Queen know what was going on here and summon the person involved away?
In this case, wouldn't they be able to continue eating?
Although everyone felt very sad, they did not dare to disobey the king's order.
But Nok didn't care. Although he bowed and accepted the king's order, he did not open his mouth to accept the order. Instead, he looked at Allen who was receiving the order and asked.
"Mr. Director, don't rush to see Her Majesty the Queen. Please tell me how to deal with things here. Don't let me follow you to see Her Majesty the Queen, then turn around and your men will loot my monastery. I will talk to someone about it then."
Nok pointed at the "evidence" in Sheriff Domir's hand and said dissatisfiedly: "This is all the property of my monastery. There are also sacred objects in it that have been passed down by my monastery for hundreds of years. If you damage it, don't blame me." Report to the Holy Court."
Nok's words made Director Allen sit up and take notice.
Although I really don’t want to let Nook Lane go like this.
But today's accusation clearly failed.
Fortunately, the Queen summoned him, otherwise Allen wouldn't know how it would end.
Therefore, how dare he talk nonsense.
"Chief Domir, return the things to them, and take the team back to the police station. Wait for my instructions. I will go to see Her Majesty the Queen first, and we will talk about everything after I come back."
Allen ducked the problem and asked Domir to return the "evidence" to Nok. Nok took it and handed it directly to Lilian.
"Take care of yourselves, wait until I come back to talk about anything else."
After Nok gave Lilian the same simple explanation, he turned to look at the people still stranded in the monastery.
"Everyone, please disperse. The farce is over. There is nothing to see anymore. Our monastery will be closed to all guests."
Under Nok's expulsion order, everyone could not stay any longer and could only leave in an orderly manner.
After all, there was a royal knight watching them, and the pressure was too much.
After all the people who were joining in the fun were evacuated, the royal knight said: "Everyone, get in the carriage. The carriage has been prepared for you outside."
Originally, this royal knight did not need to be so polite. After all, the king's order stated that he would set off immediately.
But when he left the palace, the herald specifically told him that he must respect Father Ryan's decision. Even if the other party refused to be ordered to come to the palace to see him, he was not allowed to be rude to the priest.
With such an unreasonable order, the knight even thought that the herald was asleep.
At the urging of the royal knights, the three named people got into the same carriage.
In the carriage, Alan and Sherlock sat together, and Nok sat opposite them. The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely heavy.
