A Weird Theater That Started In London

"When was the last time they cleaned up?"

"You are sure that you have been with your child for the past week, or that when he is at home, you are also in the apartment, you can hear any movement, and you have never gone out alone."

Because there is a maid, Madame Eugenie can guarantee that she will always be by Dick's side.

After all, whether it's going out to buy vegetables or informing some services to come to the door, all of them are done by servants, so her master is very leisurely.

And through some conversations, Lu Li also learned the reason why Mrs. Eugenie divorced her husband. That man, like Punch the alcoholic, is addicted to alcohol and likes domestic violence.

However, Eugenie's father was a member of parliament, and her mother was from a noble family, and she quickly got justice for her. In the court, the judge also made a judgment and handed the child over to the mother to raise.

After listening to the story, Sherlock Holmes was thoughtful. Dick wanted to watch the puppet show Punch and Judy, not following the crowd. Seven or eight-year-olds must have their own ideas.

He resented his biological father?

But what does this have to do with the disappearance case...

While Mr. Detective was thinking, Lu Li opened the balcony, jumped from it, and stood at the place where Dick appeared last, looking around.

Evidence is limited.

Therefore, he can only connect as many of them together as possible.

According to Sherlock Holmes, Dick is no longer in the world that everyone knows well. First of all, this point can stand up to scrutiny, not only the mysterious Sinan from the East can provide evidence, but also the corner cafe.

But how is the other world connected with the traces of the wall?

If there is a connection with the disappearance case, how should the two be linked together?

A question has a thousand answers.

The two questions with uncertain answers were superimposed, and Lu Li felt like his head would explode when he thought about it.

Facts have proved that forcibly splicing certain "clues" together will not only be ineffective, but will confuse the investigator's sight.

"Can anyone give me some hints?"

With a slightly maddening thought, Lu Li walked back to the apartment again, and first pushed open the iron gate of the small garden, where cold-resistant turf is planted and a few potted plants are placed.

Out of habit, not to miss any possible clues, Lu Li removed the basin and checked it carefully several times.

Next, is the entrance to the apartment.

The traces found in the missing person's room just now prompted Lu Li to check behind the door.

Debris!

The irregular sawdust that fell in the corner, and the traces that matched the shape of the copper handle, were the same as those upstairs.

In an instant, Lu Li felt that he had caught something, and began to check the kitchen, bathroom, and underground storage room in turn.

"Did you find anything?"

Holmes came down the stairs.

At this moment, Lu Li was looking at the pile of debris in the underground storage room and pondering.

"You need to go through the first door to enter the living room. You need to go upstairs through the aisle next to the kitchen. You also need to pass through a door, and then there is the bedroom where Dick lives..."

"I found impact marks behind all three doors, except for the kitchen, bathroom, and Madame Eugenie's room."

Holmes climbed down the wooden ladder into the underground storage room, holding the still burning pipe in his hand, and asked, "Where is it?"

"The way of opening is different. To access the underground storage room, you must open the log door from the outside, and then knock the sliding lock to close the basement from the inside."

"Because of this, there are no traces of bumps found here, but the sliding locks are a little bit old. No matter how lazy those servants are, they will try to replace them."

The traces behind those doors made Lu Li immediately think of:

Gu Yang escaped.

When Dick encountered danger, he instinctively ran home, first entering the house, passing through the living room, then through the hallway on the first floor, and then to his own room on the second floor.

Outside the room, there is a push-pull balcony. It seems that the designer refers to the Japanese-style structure, but it can only prevent moisture and does not provide much protection.

So...why did Dick run here?

If he had to give an explanation, Lu Li could also say it—

For a child, the safest place is undoubtedly the home and the room where he is. When he encounters danger, he will run here subconsciously.

"It's all new traces, and the connected route is still the same... It's worth scrutinizing."

While checking the situation in the underground storage room, Lu Li analyzed, "Assuming that Madame Eugenie did not lie, in fact, she is an ordinary woman, a very ordinary mother, and there is no reason to lie."

"Yes, I'm sure she has nothing to do with transcendence. When disaster happens, only she is forced to accept it."

Holmes stared at the rusted latch and continued smoking.

"Ma'am, do you remember the last time you changed the locks in the basement at home? When was it?"

Hearing the movement from the entrance of the stairs, Holmes raised his eyes. He first saw a pair of high-heeled shoes with broken heels, and then a police leather shoe.

"About a month ago, the servant told me that the lock in the utility room was badly rusted and needed some money to be replaced."

When the voice reached Lu Li's ears, he stopped his gaze and turned to look at the door lock. There was no trace of rust, but there was patina, and it was definitely not something that could be produced in a month or two.

"After this incident, have you checked the door lock?"

Under the gaze of two eyes, Madame Eugenie shook her head. How could a woman with a good family background, financial independence like her be like a housewife?

"All right."

Lu Li was a little helpless, but compared to the accidental discovery, this was just a small problem.

"What's that maid's name?"

"where do you live?"

After getting the answer as he wished, Police Constable Hawkins left. He had to return to the police station as soon as possible, organize staff to go to the target location, and ask an Indian named Alia, whether the **** lock was changed.

Lu Li repeatedly urged ~www.readwn.com~ to get an answer that is consistent with the facts. Hawkins was helpless and bewildered about this. A royal police officer, who was dignified, had to be in charge of investigating such a trivial matter.

Of course, since it is a request made by the special counsel, it must be fulfilled without compromise.

After he left, there were four people left in the apartment. A police officer served as the background, and cooperated with Holmes to help Madame Eugenie down the wooden ladder into the underground storage room.

"Look at what's wrong."

This time, Lu Li did not ask specific questions about a certain issue, but handed over the display space to the parties.

Intuition as a mother.

As an apartment owner, how much you know about your own house.

……

No matter what it is, as long as it can provide key clues, she is definitely better than herself and Sherlock Holmes on this kind of issue.

Aware of the seriousness in her tone, Madame Eugenie also began to become serious. She carefully scanned the debris on the floor and the table, over and over again, and kept recalling.

After a long time, a voice echoed in the basement.

"I'm missing an old shotgun..."
