Chapter 494 Sit Down and Have a Rest

Holmes called a carriage, and the three of them got into it and rushed to the chemical plant.

"Accomplice?" Gregson asked in surprise, "Didn't you say it was a crime of passion? The criminal obviously didn't plan ahead, because Molly resisted fiercely, so he accidentally killed him in a rage, and you As I said just now, there were only two people left in the textile factory."

"This is the last link to complete my reasoning, and it is also the most important link. I found the answer in the chemical factory next door. Paul shared a house with someone, and his roommate was also in the chemical industry. They got off work in the factory half an hour later than the textile factory. At that time, Paul left the chemical factory first and went to find Molly as usual, but Molly was not waiting at the place where they often met. Paul also had some Uneasy, he walked around twice outside the textile factory and saw that it was closed, so he went back to the chemical factory."

"Um?"

"At this time, his roommate Pearson happened to be still there, so he asked Pearson to go find Molly with him." Holmes said, "Then the next interesting thing is that Paul and Pearson split up to search for Molly. As a result, Paul found nothing about Molly's whereabouts, but his roommate Pearson accidentally bumped into John who was dragging Molly's body to the river to dispose of it. If you choose to call the police, you can also try to capture John first if you are skilled, but our Mr. Pearson chose another way."

"What way?" Gregson couldn't help asking.

"Pearson, like Paul, came to London when he was very young. This is his fourth job. Before that, he polished shoes on the street, washed dishes in restaurants, and helped people look after horses. Sleeping in a stable... A person like him must have experienced the hardships of life early on, knowing that a helpless person like him must seize every opportunity in front of him if he wants to climb up, so when he was in that night When Riverside saw John, he realized that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come."

"Pearson convinced John, who was extremely panicked at the time, that he could help deal with this matter. The latter would naturally not believe the words of such an unknown person, but the situation at the time was not friendly to John, and he actually didn't have much However, afterward, Pearson proved that he did not live up to this trust," Holmes said and looked at Gregson again, "I still remember when you came to me and said that you were in Paul's Did you find Molly's clothes under the bed? At that time, I felt very strange, since he had already thrown the body into the river, why did he bother to take off the clothes and put them under the bed."

Gregson was embarrassed, "This...is a problem, why didn't I notice it before."

"But it would make sense if Pearson did this, convincing John to take the clothes off Molly's body and take them home and put them under Paul's bed so the police could lock them up. Paul, not Mr. John, and the carpet in the office. John also handed over to Pearson. This guy did seize the opportunity in front of him. In a sense, his choice was successful. I thought he wanted to It's not that easy to wait for him to show his feet, but he didn't expect him to make such a low-level mistake in the end.

"He didn't burn that carpet right away, but wanted to pawn it." Holmes shook his head. "It seems that the report published in the "Echo" was not completely true. A bad thing, at least it paralyzed his nerves. Considering his previous living environment, it is not incomprehensible to be so careful, but it saves us a lot of trouble. After getting the blanket from John's office, we only need to catch Pearson later. Once the evidence and physical evidence are complete, the case will be considered over.”

The three then got out of the car in front of the chemical plant.

This time, there was no need for Holmes to pay for it. Gregson directly revealed his identity as a policeman, and soon found Pearson who was still working, but encountered some troubles when he was arrested.

Maybe the police came to arrest people when the chemical plant went on strike before, which made the workers inside full of hostility towards the police.

Pearson recognized Gregson and realized that something was wrong, so he simply encouraged the surrounding workers to surround Gregson and Holmes.

Seeing that Pearson disappeared into the crowd, Gregson couldn't help being anxious, pulled out his revolver, and was about to fire at the sky, but was stopped by Holmes, Gregson stomped angrily, "Why are you stopping me, man They're all going to run."

"Don't worry, he won't be able to escape." Holmes said leisurely, but he didn't seem to be in a hurry.

Pearson fled out of the chemical plant in the chaos, feeling a tightness in his chest. Paul was his friend. The two had helped each other before when they had no money, but it was precisely because of this that Pearson didn't want to live like this again. However, no matter how hard he tried, life always showed him a cruel side without hesitation, knocking him down again and again.

Until the night before, when he met John, Pearson finally made up his mind not to live like this anymore, and to make a name for himself in this metropolis. For this reason, he did not hesitate to betray Paul and take the opportunity of John. Line, thinking that no matter how bad it is in the future, I can be a supervisor of a textile factory instead of being a short-lived ghost in a chemical factory.

And with this handle in his hands, he might be able to get more things. However, Pearson's dream was shattered after only two days. Although he escaped from the factory now, his mind is very confused and he doesn't know what to do. Where should I go next.

At this moment, he saw an oriental man not far ahead.

The latter stood under a tree, looked at him quietly, and asked, "Pearson?"

"Get out!" Pearson was in a bad mood and didn't want to talk to anyone right now.

"It seems that the real master is right." The oriental man nodded, "If that's the case, let's sit down and rest for a while."

"I'm getting annoyed right now, don't blame me for being rude if you don't get out of the way." Pearson clenched his fists and rattled.

"Okay, this makes things easier." The oriental man smiled upon seeing this.

Five minutes later Holmes and Gregson finally squeezed out of the chemical plant. Gregson's clothes were ripped and his hat was squeezed out somewhere, cursing all the way, and they soon saw the man under the tree Zhang Heng, and Pearson, who was clutching his belly like a shrimp at his feet.

Thanks to the lord of Qianzuxue Children's Boots~ I will continue to pay off the debt next month. Happy Saturday everyone.
