Wolf King

Chapter 223: Sheriff Holmes

At this moment, Isaac felt a blank in his brain...

At this moment, Isaacsonsen realized the malice of the world...

Standing against the wall, Isaac spent a few seconds to calm down and tried to calm down: "I went to the second floor to accompany the Viscount and Prince, Edward, you are optimistic about the lobby on the first floor, you must not -"

"Prince Morris is on the first floor." Edward interrupted him distortedly.

Isaac: "?"

"He entered the door, he went to the first floor." Edward smiled like a cry.

Isaac: "..."

Feeling so tired, what's the matter with the ceiling turning...?

"Cheer up, Isaac!" Edward hurried forward to help.

"Hurry up...Look!" Isaac struggling to stand up against the wall and Edward's arm with one hand, struggling to stand up, and striding forward firmly.

Hmm... Isaac just didn't want to die unclearly, and he was not reconciled without seeing the falling knife with his own eyes...

Walking out of the circular corridor and seeing Prince Morris sitting on the first floor with a generous appearance, Isaac almost couldn't hold back, a spit of old blood spitting out—

This guy actually dragged the Viscount Pope to sit in the front auditorium on the first floor! !

On the left hand side is the seat of the straw seat where the centaur squat sits, and on the right side there is a visceral Pope Pope, and on the right hand of Pope Viscount, the bearded von Aldoni is sitting dead!

The amount of reward offered by the first wanted criminal of the Osmond Kingdom and all countries is only one thousand gold coins less than Biarman J! !

In the second row, sit the royal guards and the housekeepers of the two nobles, close deacons.

In the third row, sitting neatly, large or small wanted criminals...

As for Isaac’s subordinates, such as Yali, Wien, etc., they are sitting in the middle of several rows. They even have the role of covering. They are simply telling others: we are in the front row. The funny ones are not all the way.

...Why would you sit so wonderfully? The reason is that the stage of Robbins Theatre is too large (twice the size of a traditional theater stage). People who have been to it once or twice know that sitting in the front row will even watch the stage Incomplete, the movie watching experience will decline.

The wanted criminals had never entered the Grand Theatre, but Prince Morris and the Viscount Pope, who had gone into the VIP room in any of these theaters, had never sat in the lobby.

Isaac clearly saw Prince Morris & Viscount Pope surrounded by a group of wanted criminals. After all, he still couldn't help but blew out old blood with a "pop".

"...Cheer up, Isaac." Edward persuaded again, and his tone was particularly pale.

Prince Morris was whispering something to Viscount Pope, seeing Isaac coming out of the circular corridor beside the stage, raising his hand, a royal guard immediately got up and trot towards Isaac, politely: "Knight Robbins, Your Highness has reserved a seat for you."

Then did a please action.

Isaac & Edward: "..."

Edward silently loosened Isaac's arm and patted his back.

Isaac looked sideways at his brother for two seconds, withdrawn his gaze, and tragically went to the battlefield...

The knight has the credit for not being his own today. The knight brothers, Yali, and other brothers and sisters have all put in countless hard work and sweat-this place is a place where everyone’s dreams are gathered. Everyone's dreams are moving forward; still stop here, everyone rolls out of Valentin and continue to drift in an adventurous career, just look at today!

Cheering up Isaac in a courteous manner, greeting Prince Morris and Viscount Pope; seated in the second row under the "Appreciation" of His Royal Highness, alongside the royal guards.

Just had two casual conversations with the guards, and Isaac felt something terrified-Viscount Pope talked to Feng Pan, the bearded neighbor! !

Von Ardoni is still dressed as an adventurer. It stands to reason that people of this status are not worthy of the "popular delivery" of the Popes, but the temperament of the bearded Feng is too good-this product comes from the Osman nobility , A spellcaster and a well-known scholar, can the temperament be bad? !

A bearded face can't stop the intellectual temperament that radiates from the inside out!

Isaac heard Viscount Pope casually asking about the origin of the bearded Feng. The bearded Feng even casually said that his father was an exiled noble temporarily residing in the Principality of XX...

The nobles do not treat civilians without surnames as people, and there is no warmth among the nobles; the nobles who failed political battles and lost power territory (want to retain the territory without power?) either live on the farm or live in exile, this It is not uncommon.

Viscount Pope didn’t doubt that the bearded Feng was bullshit, and he talked to the bearded Feng with a smile and talked about the Principality of XX... The bearded Feng really can catch up! Although he probably never visited the Principality at all, Nima mentioned the customs, political situation, and he was right!

Isaac was relieved and his tense nerves relaxed slightly.

A few seconds later, the relaxed spirit almost broke off-Prince Morris actually joined the conversation between them! !

Watching Cronin's prince, Cronin's great aristocracy chatting with the federal wanted criminals, Isaac was a bad person...

"...Hurry up!" Isaac, frightened, prayed wildly.

The surface is gentle and polite, but the Robbins Knight who has been spending so many years has been suffering for a long time, for a long time, the curtain on the stage is finally slowly opened...

The princes, nobles, and wanted criminals who talked about each other stopped and talked casually, turning their eyes to the stage.

Under the big curtain, the first appearance was a setting that looked like a suburban village, a hill in the distance, and a farmland in the vicinity. Several children in tattered and dirty clothes played and made trouble on the dirt road in the countryside.

Um... local peasant children starred in real life. In order to pick out these bear children who are not afraid of big scenes and are naturally playful, Yali doesn't know how many villages he ran.

The bear children played in the field for more than ten seconds, and the two girls pushed together one of the little boys onto the haystack arranged in the scene. The haystack collapsed a small piece, and a strangely curled gray-white arm Exposed.

"His--" There was an air-smoothing sound neatly from the stage... The arm was shrivelled, with a blackened bruise (special makeup), and it looked nothing like a living person.

"Why are there still people hiding inside?" A child read the lines curiously and stepped forward to pull apart the collapsed haystack.

"Hey, hello..." Prince Morris twitched his eyelids, twisting his hips anxiously.

The "man" hidden in it showed half of his body, his eyes turned white, his mouth wide open, and a knife was inserted in his neck, and the blood became black and solidified!

"Ah--!!!" The bear children were finally scared and screamed out of the stage.

On the stage, there was only the "corpse" whose most body was buried in the haystack, with the twisted face facing the audience...

The audience was silent.

Everyone who has seen drama is doubting life. Is this really drama? !

Centaurs who haven’t watched the drama didn’t think so much, thinking that this is indeed the form of performance of the drama...

The solitary "corpse" performed a "mime" for nearly ten seconds, and a group of farmers supported two sheriffs in uniform and dome hats.

"Master Sheriff, our children are almost scared to death."

"Yeah, I was wondering who piled haystacks here. I didn't expect to hide the body."

"It's terrible, who did such a cruel thing?"

The farmers talked about each other, standing anxiously far away, and the two sheriffs opened the wooden box they carried, took out various tools and began to survey the scene...

That's right, the performance of this drama is the way of modern criminal investigation drama, which is still more "exquisite". In order to write this script, Xiao Yun specially found Sean and Evelyn, and studied how to professionally survey the scene and what tools to prepare without using the magician "backtracking" magic...

The actor who played the sheriff took off the **** cloak and put it aside, put on gloves, picked up metal clips, cloth rulers, magnifying glass and other tools, and walked to the haystack to pull the grass away and bury his head to examine the body.

The actor who played the assistant also put on gloves and stood beside with a pen in one hand and a black leather notebook in the other.

The sheriff inspected and chanted in the mouth: "Record, Watson, victim code A, male, thin body, dressed in white fine cotton sleeve shirt, blue silk trousers, brown deerskin belt, black and Knee leather riding boots. There are two black moles on the face and lower jaw, thin skin on the hands, black moles on the right wrist... length XXX, shoe size XX, the stabbed part is five centimeters on the right chin of the neck, diagonally downward Pierced into the neck, looking from the direction of the knife handle and the depth of the knife, it is presumed that the left hand penetrated the front..."

Take the victim's already "stiff" arm: "No defense, resist scars, the victim did not resist when assassinated... Hmm? There are strangles on the wrist, and there are traces of the arm being tied. It turns out that the victim is being controlled Were killed under the circumstances."

Also check the victim's knees and shoes: "There is a slight amount of sand on the knee, which is consistent with the sand on the sole of the shoe. The victim should be killed when his arms and wrists are tied and forced to kneel... The soil seems to be not The soil in the farmland is not the soil around it. The knees are still curved, and the shape of the arms is like the form of being tied—"

The sheriff turned to face the farmers who reported the crime and said seriously: "When did this haystack appear?"

"Uh... should it be these two days?"

"I remember that I didn't see it when I went to the field the morning before."

"Yeah, I didn't find it when I passed by the night before."

"I saw a haystack here early in the morning yesterday, and I asked XXX who brought the haystack here."

The sheriff nodded, turned to the assistant in the record, and threw out a line of lines: "Record, Watson. People start to stiff within two hours after death, completely stiff within twelve hours, and soften after thirty hours Three days later, it was restored to its original state. The victim’s eccentric lying posture should be the same as when he died, and his body was abandoned two to twelve hours after death. At this time, his body was completely stiff.

"At this moment, the body has entered a second stiffness, that is, this person has been dead for more than three days."

"The plaques are concentrated on the left side, and the person is left facing down for more than 12 hours after death to make the plaques so concentrated. In other words, he was moved here to die after 12 hours. ."

"Although the deceased is thinner, this adult male with a personality also has at least 120 pounds. To move the deceased, he must have auxiliary tools such as a carriage."

The farmers looked around in surprise.

Off the stage, the audience who hadn't waited until now to sing the opening song couldn't see any impatience, and they watched the actors' performances with little attention.

The sheriff took out the transparent vial, scraped off the mud of the deceased's knees and soles, and then sniffed the deceased's collar carefully to examine the details more carefully:

"Records, there is a very light perfume on the collar, although the clothes have scratches, breakage marks and stains, but they have no worn edges, the nails are neatly trimmed, and there is oil on the hair. The deceased is economically rich, but his clothes There are no fixed products in the accessories, they are all ready-made items that can be bought in the store. They should come from the middle class or the marginal children of a noble family."

Prince Morris & Viscount Pope could not help but nod all together...there is no special customized clothing and accessories on their behalf, how can they get out of the door?

After the "Autopsy", the sheriff who has been playing for more than ten minutes but has not even sung a few verses has undoubtedly established his protagonist status... All the audience's eyes are following him, curious about his next What other speeches and performances will there be.

Isaac peeked at the front row with a focus on the plot and no longer talking about it. It was a bit comfortable in his heart...Why don't he go around looking for an actor who can remember such a long line of lines!

The actor who played the sheriff is still not a serious opera actor, but a doctor apprentice that Isaac finally found.

In areas outside the Federation, doctors are treated as black magicians, wizards, and cultists. Naturally, people on the southern mainland who are interested in "saving lives" can only run to the Federation. People chasing medical ideals.

But not all doctors and apprentices can successfully make money out of the teacher...Isaac found this one from a distant western country (occupied by the Holy See), without connections and talents, and even abandoned by the teacher, so poor that he had to come to the knight The unlucky egg that leads the odd job to maintain life.

This young man has a mediocre talent in medicine, and does not have the so-called talent for actors. He is even not very good at dealing with people. He has a face of the daddy all day long and can't make friends with odd jobs.

But this goods thief can memorize, be stupid and not frightened, so it is very suitable for the role of sheriff~!

On the stage, the sheriff who completed the "autopsy" pulled out a white cloth to cover the body, rolled up the sleeves, picked up the magnifying glass and squatted on the ground to find traces of evidence on the spot.

"Holmes (Holmes), all around the footprints of children, the scene has been destroyed." The actor who played the deputy of the sheriff walked around the haystack.

"Be patient, Watson. It's not close to the road, there is no water, and it's hundreds of meters away from the nearest wheat field. Except for the children who play, few adults come, and the footprints of the children may not completely cover the footprints of the adults. "The sheriff squatted around and pointed to a floor road. "Look, there is a rut mark on the carriage."

Hmm... the character name is Ayunqi, and Isaac doesn’t know why the teacher insisted that the security team partner must call these two names.

Immediately after the rutting marks were found, the sheriff Holmes found two groups of adult footprints that were not damaged too badly, and took a delicate vernier caliper to measure:

"The first footprint is 26 centimeters long, the heel is deeper, the forefoot is shallower, about the second toe starts from the force point, the stride span is large and even, and the walking route is straight."

After reporting the surveyed information, sheriff Holmes looked up and looked seriously at the assistant: "Record, Watson, the number one suspect is a strong male, he is between 175 and 180, and he is 35 to 4 Between fifteen and fifteen years old, he is strong and heavier than 80 kg."

A onlooker farmer curiously asked the audience the question: "Master Sheriff, have you ever seen the criminal? Otherwise, how do you know how tall and strong he is?"

The sheriff nodded and explained: "The height of a person is about 6.87 times the length of the sole of the foot. With the length of the footprint, the height of the criminal can be calculated. As for the age, young people are more prone to walking, and the footprint left when walking is short. The footprints are thin, the distance between the footprints is large and the distances are uneven, and the walking route is difficult to maintain a straight line and turn habitually."

The farmers were surprised: "Oh--"

The audience under the stage was also amazed: "Oh--"

"Young criminals have large footprints and stride, and the distance between the footprints is even and straight. The middle-aged criminals walk steadily and slowly, the distance between the footprints becomes shorter, and the force on the heel and the root footprint are deeper than the footprint of the forefoot. The footprint of the group conforms to the characteristics of middle-aged criminals, and due to the relatively wet soil, the footprints left are quite clear. It can be seen that the thumb and index finger of the forefoot are shallower and the focus is expanding."

"The older you are, the toes will start to be lifted from your thumb in turn when you walk. Each additional toe becomes floating and the age increases by 20 years. So I judge that the person in the suspect is about 40 years old Young man."

The farmers were surprised again: "--So it is!"

The audience on the stage did not disturb the performance on stage, but from the look of their feelings, there was no difference between their feelings and the actors on the stage who played the onlookers...

"This sheriff is too powerful!" A royal bodyguard sitting next to Isaac couldn't help but whispered and followed the actors on stage brightly with his eyes, and he has become a little fan.

Isaac is very calm. When the teacher proposed to let the legendary illusionist take the time to research the footsteps in order to shape the role of Holmes, he knew that such a carefully created play would never lose...

On stage, the sheriff's partner showed a scene survey, field autopsy, and footprint study, and the first scene, which lasted for twenty minutes, officially ended.

No one still performed singing, and even the regular arias at the end of the show and the change were skipped, but none of the audience was picky... Even Prince Morris, who had a tricky taste, did not point out that such a performance method did not meet the requirements of the drama. Instead, he seized the opportunity of the screen change to seize the time and asked Viscount Popper if there was such a powerful sheriff.

In the second act, the stage setting was changed to the town, and the sheriff's partner visited and investigated the town in search of the source of the unknown man's body.

There is no touching love and love, and there are nothing more stunning handsome men and women; the two starring in a post-daddy face, a fat middle-aged person, the scenery is a little bit luxurious and magnificent, all dull Dirty street view; but the audience couldn't remove their eyes or lose their hearts, paying attention to the plot development.

The investigation of the low-ranking sheriff in the town did not proceed smoothly, because Holmes was only a child of a desolate aristocratic family, and several elite nobles in the town were not willing to take care of him. Dispatched by the housekeeper and even the servant.

When Holmes, who has a very strong personality and played an old-fashioned "official detective", asked face-to-face the old housekeeper of the aristocratic family if your family was dead or lost, the furious old housekeeper knocked out the door. The scene amused the audience.

"Homs, anyway, it was only a few farmers who reported the case, and no one came to claim the corpse. It would be better to leave it alone." In the small and small town's public security bureau, the assistant who repeatedly bumped into the wall, Watson, had the idea of ​​giving up .

"Huasheng, we transferred the case not for who is responsible, but for the dead." The poor sheriff sitting on the broken cloth sofa smoked a pipe, expressionless, "Whether victim A or not Are the children of good people, who have done bad things and made retribution, but as a person, he should not have encountered such a miserable thing-tied down and kneeled, killed, and abandoned to the wild The countryside."

"Before he died, his wide-eyed eyes wanted to see hope, hoping that someone would vindicate him and bring the people who killed him to justice."

Spitting out the smoke ring, this unprofessional actor said a rather shocking (force) shocking line: "We don't need the applause and welcome from living people, we want the dead to sleep peacefully."

"Good speaking!" Viscount Pope could not help but whispered.

This really good child has never had the idea of ​​being a sheriff or criminal investigation and law enforcement in his life, but just like the Chinese who have watched martial arts movies, they would aspire to be banned by military prisoners. I also had a mentality similar to Ye Gonghaolong for the industry walking in the dark city to blame the deceased for the dead...

Even the old fritters such as Pope Viscount were impressed, not to mention others. Isaac heard the guy in the back row named Aisha whispering several times, "Why don't you find a spellcaster to help", "The spellcaster should be a sheriff"...

On the stage, Watson again said: "Why don't we simply investigate the surrounding farmers, maybe the tourists from other places didn't enter the town in time, and it's not necessarily that the villagers and villagers were killed by the money."

Holmes looked at the assistant idiotly, and said indifferently: "If it was the farmer who killed him, would we still be dressed so decently when we saw the body?"

Watson: "..."

"...Wait!" Holmes stood up suddenly. "He was wearing a mid-sleeved shirt, silk trousers, deerskin belt, and riding boots. He was sprayed with perfume and brushed with hair oil when he went out-Watson, you Did you think of anything?"

Watson frowned and thought, "He plans to go horse riding? Outing? What date?"

"Yes, if gentlemen wear hats when they go hunting, they won't wipe the hair oil, and they won't wear silk trousers that are easy to hang. The dress of victim A is a travel dress, and be as decent as possible. ..."

Holmes threw a punch hard, although the expressionless face of the daddy, but the audience on the stage could clearly feel his excitement, and was subconsciously driven and cheered.

"He is going to an appointment. A woman of the same decent or higher status invites this gentleman to participate in a picnic outing or to a manor. It is a place where you must ride horses to arrive!"
