Father Mavie

Chapter 579 Investigation of Sherlock Holmes (two in one, please subscribe!!!)
Even if there are countless witchers patrolling back and forth in Regent's Park, they can't stop the enthusiasm of the nobles for the banquet.

In this era of lack of entertainment, the banquet is one of the few pleasures of the night, and no matter what happens, it can't stop the footsteps of the nobles.

The invited guests walked into the banquet hall one after another, and the orchestra began to play. The light tunes seemed to be flying like tulle. After a while, the hall became lively.

"Nicholas, look who's coming!"

The second prince who was in charge of welcoming the guests walked into the banquet hall at last, giving the guests enough face. Behind him, there were two familiar figures, Holmes and Watson.

Seeing Holmes, Mavi was a little surprised. You must know that Holmes has not joined any camp, at least before he came to London. Holmes is not even a member of the church, and has always been outside the center of power.

The three princes all want to win over Holmes, and they want to win over the London police by virtue of Holmes' influence in Scotland Yard. Although the church has set up a witcher, the police who maintain civilian law and order are also a force that cannot be underestimated.

"I sent an invitation letter to Mr. Holmes. It's great that they are willing to come. I have always wanted to communicate with the famous Mr. Holmes."

The second prince was very happy tonight. When holding banquets before, he would also send invitations to some celebrities. Some people were willing to come, and some were not. Holmes was the one who didn't want to come. Let the second prince be flattered.

"Your Highness, I have nothing to do at home, so I just wanted to go out for a walk. I just received your invitation letter from Your Highness, so I came to attend. I was too busy before, so many banquets had to be postponed." Holmes said flatly. Explained a sentence.

"Understood." The second prince nodded again and again: "Mr. Holmes, your work is very important, and it is a matter of life and death! It must be much more important than attending the banquet. If it were me, I would have to finish the work first."

"This should be the Duke of Chevalier."

Holmes looked at Freya who was standing beside Mavi in ​​a red evening dress, and greeted gracefully: "The last time we met was at your horse farm. It's been a long time."

Freya's face was a little unnatural, but there was still a smile on the corner of her mouth: "Yes, that was already two years ago."

Two years ago, the case of Freya's husband, the former Duke Andris, fell to his death from a horse, which attracted the attention of the Scotland Yard police. The accidental death of the Duke was not a trivial matter. It happened that Holmes was in London at the time, so he came with the police inspectors. Arrived at the horse farm of the Chevally family and investigated the body of Duke Andris.

Everyone knows what happened next. The death of Duke Andris was indeed an accident. At least his death was indeed caused by falling off a horse and breaking his neck. Billy Black was also a famous crazy horse. Duke Andris did not care about others. Dissuading insisted on riding Black Billy, and finally fell off the horse and died, no wonder.

It was also during that investigation that Holmes met Freya for the first time.

"I'm leaving for a while."

Since Holmes arrived, Freya seemed to be feeling a little uncomfortable. She stroked her neck, put down her wine glass and walked towards the door after a short while. Seeing this, the second prince quickly followed her and asked what was wrong with her.

Taking advantage of their departure, Ma Wei quickly asked:
"Why did you come here?"

"Let me take a look at the situation." Holmes glanced across the hall, and finally stopped on a white-haired old man: "Do you know who he is?"

Ma Wei turned his head and found that the white-haired old man looked familiar. After recalling it for a while, he suddenly remembered: "James Morea! Honorary professor of the Department of Mathematics at Oxford University!"

"Yes, it's him."

"You came here for him?"

"Almost." Holmes nodded and said, "Half a month ago, when I was investigating the death of Hilton Mobile, I found a secret room in his home. In the drawer of the secret room was a box of letters signed by Mr. Steward. "

"I suspected that Hilton Mobile's death was related to the letter in the secret room, so I entrusted my friend in Scotland Yard to obtain information about the underground black market, and later, after being informed by a friend, I learned that I wanted to see Mr. Steward Need to go to Cemetery No. 1 in Brookwood Township to put a white rose"

"I went to the No. 1 cemetery and found a woman's name on the tombstone designated by Mr. Steward."

Marvie whispered, "Lucy Bradley, 1811-1855."

"Have you been to the cemetery too?"

"Well, I've been investigating the underground black market. I got on the line with Mr. Steward yesterday and met him. It should be me."

"Lucy Bradley, there is no such name in Scotland Yard's files, and this woman must be related to Mr. Steward, so I have been investigating Lucy Bradley's clues for the past few days, and finally in the With Watson's reminder, I found some clues."

Holmes looked around to make sure that no one was overhearing their conversation, and said in a low voice: "Watson was a military doctor when he was young. When he was still serving in the army, he went to the Kingdom of Mysore. He heard from his comrades that there was a local very Famous, a showgirl named Lucy."

"The Kingdom of Mysore?" Ma Wei asked in surprise, "The colony of the Kingdom of Windsor?"

"That's right, their mother river is the Ganges River. Originally, it was just a trivial matter, but Watson said that the other party was not born in the Kingdom of Mysore, but from the Kingdom of Windsor. His hometown is in the West Island, and he just followed his father to Mysore. This incident caught my attention, so I personally took the train to Belfast on the West Island, found Macmillan, and asked him to investigate Lucy Bradley."

Holmes said with a serious expression: "I did find the name Lucy Bradley in the resident files of Belfast. It should be said that the Bradley family was originally a well-known baronial family, but later failed in business. The family fell into decline, and the then head of the family, Ferren, was the father of Lucy Bradley, and took Lucy to the Kingdom of Mysore."

"After discovering this clue, I continued to investigate the Baron Bradley's family. This time, I discovered something bigger. I visited the original residence of the Bradley family, and learned from a local old man that the old Baron Bradley's There is only one daughter, but he adopted an orphan from an orphanage decades ago."

"This orphan is named James Morea."

"what?!"

Mavi's eyes widened, and he said in disbelief, "Professor James Morea, is Baron Bradley's adopted son?"

"That's right, after hearing the news, I immediately rushed back to London and started an investigation on Professor James Morea, and found that he had indeed been adopted in his early years, but because it was too long ago, Scotland Yard at that time The police system has not yet been established, and many documents have been sealed up. I found Mr. Drew, who was the magistrate of London decades ago and is now the administrator of the archives, and retrieved the adoption documents at that time."

As he said that, Holmes took out a piece of tattered paper with barely legible words from his arms. Mavie tried hard to observe and saw the name James Bradley on it.

"Moorea is his mother's surname. He changed his surname to Bradley because he was adopted by Baron Bradley. Later, Baron Bradley's family declined. After he took Lucy to the Kingdom of Mysore, Professor James changed his surname to Changed back to Moorea, got into Oxford, published an academic paper and became famous."

Holmes said: "I went to Oxford University again later. According to several old tutors, I heard that Professor James had sent many people to the Kingdom of Mysore in the early years to find the whereabouts of a woman. There was no clue until 1855. It was James Morea who finally found out that Lucy lived in a countryside in the Kingdom of Mysore."

"James Morea went to the Kingdom of Mysore in person. I don't know what happened. In short, when he came back, there was no woman by his side. He came back alone."

"Wait, wait first." Ma Wei rubbed his brows and said, "According to your investigation, if Lucy Bradley buried in Cemetery No. 1 in Brookwood Township was the childhood sweetheart of Professor James Morea, then Doesn't it mean that James Morea has something to do with Mr. Steward?"

"I suspect that James Morey is Mr. Steward." Holmes said: "What kind of emotion can support a man's search for Lucy Bradley for decades? That is the best time in life! James Morey Ya became famous at the age of 20, entered the academic world, and then did not achieve anything for many years, why? Many mentors think that he wasted too much time looking for Lucy Bradley!"

"And more importantly, Professor James Morea has never been married. He has never been married, and he has never heard of any woman. I have every reason to suspect that he is deeply in love with Lucy Bulla. Deli, even if the other party is dead, he still remembers the other party all the time."

"The flower language symbolized by the white rose is innocence, purity, romance and pure love." Watson standing aside said: "Everyone who contacts Mr. Butler needs to go to Cemetery No. 1 to give Lucy Bradley Sending a rose, I think, all these roses to Lucy Bradley from Professor James Morea, day and night, every hour."

"If that's the case, it's a really touching story."

Ma Wei took a deep breath and sighed quietly: "Unfortunately, if James Morea is Mr. Steward, then what he has done is really unacceptable."

"Didn't you meet Mr. Steward?" Holmes wondered, "Isn't it James Morea who met you?"

"No." Ma Wei shook his head and said, "The Mr. Housekeeper I saw didn't look like Professor James Morea at all. One of them was tall and thin with gray hair, and the other was tall and burly. They looked a little bloated, even though it was night I can't be wrong either."

"Either what you have seen is not Mr. Steward himself, or I have made a mistake in my investigation, and James Morea is not Mr. Steward," said Holmes.

"It's okay. Now that the target has been locked, let's investigate slowly. I have already sent Fat Orange Xiaohei into Mr. Steward's camp, and the truth will be revealed after confronting them."

Ma Wei said disapprovingly: "Take your time, the case will be solved."

Holmes nodded slightly, and suddenly changed the subject: "Have you been very close to Duke Chevalier recently?"

"That's right." Ma Wei glanced at him: "What's wrong?"

"Two years ago, the former duke, Freya de Chevally's husband, Andris, fell from his horse and died, do you know?"

"I know, the conclusion given by the police is an accident, not to mention Black Billy is not ordinary at all, it is an extraordinary creature with an extremely violent temperament and is difficult to tame."

"Black Billy is an extraordinary creature?" Holmes was stunned for a moment. "When I saw him two years ago, he was just a wild and unruly ordinary horse."

"It should be the awakening of the bloodline, it's not important." Ma Wei shrugged, even the goddess descended beside him. Is it strange that a horse awakens the ancestor's bloodline?

The seal is loose, and there will only be more and more weird incidents.

Holmes pondered for a while before continuing: "The death of Duke Andris is not that simple in my opinion."

"You were the detective who investigated the case back then. The police's conclusion of accidental death must have your opinion in it. Don't you overthrow your previous judgment by saying this now?"

"At that time, I really did not investigate the problem, and everything was normal, but what I couldn't figure out was that Duke Andris had been lying in bed with a serious illness for several months before he fell to his death. Don’t you think it’s strange that you want to ride Black Billy by name?”

As for the cause of Duke Andris' death, Mavi had suspected it a long time ago, but he had no evidence. Now that even Holmes said the same, the possibility suddenly became higher.

"Do you suspect that Freya did something wrong?"

"I don't know. I won't draw conclusions on matters that I'm not sure about." Holmes said, "No matter what the truth is, Freya de Chevalier is full of mysteries. Simple things, I suggest you stay away from her."

Mavi smiled and didn't say much.

In the beginning, he really didn't have the idea of ​​getting close to Freya. He contacted her because of the second prince's face. But now, he suspects that Freya is the great devil with four pillars. Not in contact with each other.

If Freya is really the Four Pillars, lurking in London, then Mavie will get rid of her at the right time.

"father!"

Suddenly, Junia, who was standing by the table with her feet upright serving the cake, was shocked, and turned her head to look at the roof. Then she lowered her head and cut the cake quickly until a large piece of cake was slowly put into a small plate. Only then did he put the plate on the table, picked up the big cake on the table, and ran towards Ma Wei.

at the same time
The demon wooden box in Ma Wei's arms shook violently.
