Father Mavie

Chapter 51 Opening

"It's almost time, we should go back."

Holmes got up from the recliner and tapped the burnt tobacco on the potted plant: "There is one more thing. Baron Bill behaved strangely tonight. He kept peeking at his wife's chest. He seemed to be hiding something."

"I noticed that too."

Ma Wei opened the balcony door, paused, and said, "I hope he doesn't pretend to be smart."

"I hope so."

Back in the master bedroom, it was only the last 3 minutes before the time on the notice letter. The room was filled with a dignified and depressing atmosphere. No one spoke. They stood in place, guarding their respective positions, and stared uncontrollably.

Ma Wei did not go to the center of the master bedroom, but stood by the door, leaning against the wall, observing Baron Bill, McMillan and others with great interest.

Everyone's expressions were wonderful. Baron Bill's complexion was pale, trembling and frightened, his thief-like eyes glanced at his wife's chest one after another, and he broke out in a cold sweat from nervousness.

McMillan has been staring at his pocket watch without taking his eyes off, as if he was doing a countdown-like mental activity.

Baroness Bill's wife
She shrank in the crowd, bit her lower lip lightly, and patted her neck with her palms lightly, as if she was relieving her nervousness, feeling uneasy in her heart, and glanced at her husband from time to time.

2 minutes left.

Thunder and lightning flashed outside the house, and the bluish-white lightning entered the room through the gaps between the planks. The roaring thunder hit everyone's heart, and the rain hit the glass, like pairs of little hands protruding from hell, clasping Ring your door.

1 minutes left.

The time has entered the countdown, the second hand is ticking, and every time it advances, it means the sand of time is gone. A policeman can't bear this huge pressure. He hugged the vase in the corner, wow He spat it out, and the fishy yellow-black vomit exuded a strong strange smell.

No one blamed him, and Baron Bill wasn't even outraged that his precious enamelled glass bottle had been tarnished.

The last 10 seconds.
Junia grabbed Mavi's palm, Holmes cast his gaze, Macmillan raised his head, and Baron Bill held his breath, lying on the dark compartment of the safe like a toad, pricking up his ears, alert looking around.

time up.

click!
The gas lamp on the roof suddenly lost its light, and the whole room was plunged into thick and unresolved darkness in an instant. There was a sudden exclamation. Then, the window was broken violently. In the flash of lightning, a figure appeared. Appeared on the edge of the window sill, a huge black cloak danced behind him, a white dove was parked on his shoulder, his top hat was pressed down very low, no one could see his true face clearly, but everyone knew
That's the Rose Phantom Thief!

With a black gloved hand reaching into his bosom, he took out a red gemstone with a smile on his lips.

"Tonight, I will take the blood rose as promised."

After speaking, he opened his arms and fell backwards, with the hunting cloak wrapped around his body, and fell off the window sill in an instant.

The police rushed to the window and looked at each other, completely unaware of when he stole the blood rose.
Even Baron Bill, who was lying on the safe, was dumbfounded.

"What are you still doing!"

In the darkness, McMillan shouted: "The Rosary Thief has escaped, go and catch him!!!"

"Yes Yes!"

The police rushed out of the master bedroom in a hurry, brandishing a revolver, and rushed downstairs in a crowd.

"what!!!"

Mrs. Bill, who was standing in the crowd, was hit and sat down on the ground, letting out a cry of pain.

Immediately, a pair of strong arms helped her up.

"Are you all right?"

Macmillan's concerned voice came.

"It's okay"

Mrs. Bill quickly touched her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

In the blink of an eye, only Macmillan, Holmes, Marvey, and Baron Bill and his wife were left in the room.

Show
just began.

"Baron Bill, was the gem really stolen?"

After turning on the kerosene lamp, McMillan asked nervously, "Quickly open the safe and check!"

"Oh oh oh"

Baron Bill glanced at his wife, took off the key from his chest, and opened the safe.

Xue Meigui lay inside intact, still shining with dazzling light.

"What is this situation?"

McMillan's eyes widened, and he waved to Mavi and Holmes: "Come and see, Blood Rose is still here!"

"Oh, that's really weird."

Holmes echoed: "It seems that the Rosy Thief did not steal the real gem, it was just his plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain."

"That's right! He may come back at any time!" McMillan nodded heavily: "Baron Bill, you should lock up the gem quickly, just in case something happens, I'll call everyone back!"

After finishing speaking, McMillan walked quickly towards the door, passing by Ma Wei.
The arm was suddenly grabbed.

"Father?" He turned his head in confusion, "What are you arresting me for?"

"Mrs. Bill, please check the blood rose hidden on your chest." Mavi said slowly.

Before Mrs. Bill could react, Baron Bill jumped up suddenly, threw away the blood rose in his hand, rushed to his wife, and hurriedly said, "Take it out!"

Under his urging, Mrs. Bill took off the necklace around her neck, and at the end of the necklace hung a red gemstone, which looked exactly like the blood rose in the safe.

but.
"This is fake!!!"

After just one glance, Baron Bill became furious: "Didn't I tell you to look after it? This is our family's heirloom!!!"

"Don't get excited, Baron Bill."

Ma Wei said lightly: "The real Blood Rose is still in this room."

"Where?!"

"It's in McMillan. Oh no, he should be called the Rose Phantom Thief now." Mavi looked at the figure beside him.

The bewilderment gradually subsided, and McMillan, who was eager to leave, straightened up, smiled slightly, and asked calmly, "How did you see through it?"

"secret."

"Can't you just satisfy my curiosity?"

"No."

"Oh, all right."

Macmillan sighed helplessly, closed his eyes, and began to mobilize the power in his body.

However.
A larger, violent force poured into his body from his arms.

He opened his eyes abruptly, looked at Ma Wei in disbelief, and his face changed: "You, you, how could you?"

Although Mavi doesn't know how to use Junia's power, he does know one thing.

Fire and water are incompatible.

Can the powers of gifts from different gods be merged?

After practice, Ma Wei came up with the answer:

No!

"let me go!!!"

The rose monster roared, trying to break free from Ma Wei's clutches, but Ma Wei was also a lieutenant of the Royal Navy back then, and his skills and strength were far superior to ordinary people.

Obviously, the Rose Phantom Thief is not good at close combat.

Boom!
A cane came from behind, and it hit the back of the rose monster's head firmly. He rolled his eyes and passed out on the spot.

Ma Wei grinned, and couldn't help saying, "It's really ruthless."

"To deal with this kind of person, of course we have to be on the safe side."

Holmes put away his cane expressionlessly, squatted down in front of the Rose Phantom Thief, rummaged through him, and found the real Blood Rose.

After finding the blood rose, Ma Wei let go of the Rose Phantom Thief. Seeing this scene, Holmes froze for a moment. Just as he was about to remind him, he met Ma Wei's eyes.

From the other party's Gujing Wubo's eyes, he seemed to understand something.

“The duck that is hard to get”

Shaking his head, Holmes smiled, and returned the blood rose wrapped in the handkerchief to Baron Bill: "It is returned to its original owner."

"You are so amazing!!!"

Baron Bill was overjoyed when the heirloom was lost and recovered. He couldn't express his excitement: "I, I, I, I really don't know how to thank you! The Rosary Thief has woken up!"

The rose monster who woke up saw that Ma Wei had let go of himself, his eyes lit up, he snapped his fingers without hesitation, and his body disappeared instantly.

"This..." Baron Bill was shocked: "He he he"

"It's magic."

Mavie and Holmes spoke in unison.

"magic?!"

"Yes, it's magic."

The performance has not yet closed.
