Chapter 273 Don’t Ask for Whom the Bell Tolls
night.
Holmes Detective Agency.
Uesugi Caritas and Falk stayed in the office outside, waiting for Holmes and others to return.
"I don't know if Mr. Holmes and the others can find Su Chen and senior Luo Ji..." Uesugi Mingai sat on the sofa and muttered while holding her schoolbag.
"It must be possible. You don't know Mr. Holmes well enough." Watson held the coffee pot and asked, "Can I give you some more?"
The two said no.
At this time, Uesugi Caritas turned her attention to Fake. After thinking for a moment, she opened her schoolbag, took out a bag of donuts and handed it to Fake.
"I don't eat these things." Falk refused while looking at the pink packaging bag.
"Try it. Seeing how worried you are all the time, eating something sweet can make you feel happier."
"I don't need it."
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
"They're back!"
Fake wanted to get up and open the door, but was stopped by Watson.
Watson lowered his voice and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Holmes won't knock."
indeed.
Holmes didn't need to knock on the door when he returned to his office, but it was already so late and there was no chance of visitors coming.
Who could be outside the door?
Wasen motioned the two of them not to move, and walked behind the door to observe through the peephole.
Outside the door, I could only see the street lights across the road, but no one.
Even so, Watson did not take it lightly.
Because of the experience of being with Holmes for a long time, he was always vigilant.
He kept his original posture and observed the situation outside the cat's eye.
Just then.
He heard a faint sound of running - that was the sound of a car engine.
The sound is gradually getting louder.
Before Watson had time to think, a dazzling light was aimed at the cat's eye.
Watson's heart suddenly sank, feeling something bad.
It's a headlight!
Before Watson could run away, the front of the car rushed over like a roaring beast.
Bang!
Half of the wall collapsed, and Watson had no time to run away. He could only fall back due to his body's conditioned reflex, and his right leg was firmly pressed under the door panel.
Under his blurry vision, Wasen saw three masked men walking into the room.
Two of them pulled Falk out of the rubble and away from the office.
The other man looked around back and forth.
After confirming that there was no camera, he walked up to Watson and stepped on his face with the sole of his shoe.
"Don't ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for you."
After leaving these words, the man disappeared with the others.
Holmes Detective Agency is in a mess.
………
at the same time.
Holmes and his group were heading back.
When he first left the villa, Su Chen was still with Luo Ji and his group.
But in the blink of an eye, Su Chen and Lao Qi disappeared.
"Running so fast? We agreed not to catch him for three hours..." Wang Yanxing muttered.
"You can't blame Su Chen. When you snatched his phone, you used up all the trust you had." Luo Ji said and walked into the car.
"But you agreed very much at the time..." Wang Yanxing followed and got into the car.
"Let's go." Holmes signaled Shi Yong to drive quickly, "Su Chen just said that the kid named Fake was in danger. He probably wasn't lying."
"Isn't he really a cover-up? I always feel that there is a conspiracy behind Su Chen's every move..." Wang Yanxing said.
"No." Holmes said with a stern expression, "I called Watson's number as soon as I left the villa, but I still can't get through."
After saying that, Holmes turned his attention to Luo Ji and the other two.
"While you are rushing back now, please tell me everything you have been through during this period of time with Su Chen. I feel that Su Chen is one step ahead of me. He is almost close to the truth."
Luo Ji nodded.
He repeated everything Su Chen said and did, and expressed his own opinions.
"Mr. Holmes, Suchen once told us that the person who kidnapped us was Kyle Casb. I think this Kyle Casb may be the murderer of the Ripper case."
After hearing what Luo Ji said, Wang Yanxing expressed his opinion.
"Professor Luo, is it a bit hasty to draw such a conclusion? After all, there is a possibility - the kidnapping of Su Chen may be just a plan of the Sun and Moon Society aimed solely at Su Chen, and may not necessarily be involved in the Ripper case..."
Qin Ming sat in the passenger seat and said, "That's such a coincidence. The 'murderous weapon' in Mr. Holmes's hand came from the Casb family... Mr. Holmes, what do you think of this matter?" ?”
"So far it seems..."
Holmes always stood firm when speaking. If he didn't say anything, what he said would be the exact answer.
This time, Holmes' tone revealed a rare hesitation.
Holmes continued:
“My thoughts are temporarily consistent with Professor Luo’s.
“The Vic person you saw in the message is Kyle’s youngest son.
"His name is on the list of the Sun and Moon Club that Su Chen brought..."
Luo Ji and Wang Yanxing did not see the list.
Upon hearing the news, both of them were stunned.
What is going on?
It turns out that it was not the actions of people from the Sun and Moon Society!
So what is the role of Kyle who kidnapped him?
Is there anything else between him and Sun Moon Club’s Vic besides the father-son relationship?
At this moment, Luo Ji carefully recalled the last message that Su Chen opened…
[Vic: Are you scared now? You devil! You caused this outcome! You deserve it! The one you caught is a fake, right? I want to tell you, I won’t let you succeed! ]
Fake…
Luo Ji’s eyes suddenly lit up.
He finally understood all this, and understood why Su Chen shouted that he was fooled and wanted to save the child at the first time…
Su Chen already knew—whether it was Old Kyle or Vic, their target was Fake.
"We forgot that when Su Chen was caught, he was disguised as Fake! It was only when Officer Wang found out that he was Su Chen that we subconsciously treated him as Su Chen, but those people didn't know! In their eyes, Su Chen was still Fake!"
Fake's mixed-race face reappeared in Luo Ji's mind...
"This Fake is probably a member of the Kesbu family!"
Hearing Luo Ji's words, everyone except Holmes was stunned.
Holmes' eyebrows were tightly knitted together, and his deep eyes flashed with sharp light.
"Participating in this program is the most correct decision I have ever made. The gains this time... may be beyond my original expectations."
