big devil holmes

Chapter 151 How dare he die? !
At this time, Catherine was wearing a comfortable home long dress, her hair was not tied up, and it was quietly draped over her shoulders, blending with the slightly outdated furniture around her unobtrusively. After wearing the battle attire, she really looked like a wealthy lady who went deep into the world, but there was still a bit of coldness and fatigue between her brows and eyes.

The last time Sherlock met her was before the day of holy love. At that time, she was wearing gorgeous makeup. In addition to the needs of the occasion and showing respect to His Highness the Holy Son, there was another important point. haggard.

She is an extremely rebellious person. As a matter of fact, as long as she gets involved in some scientific research or management circles, she can easily have resources and status in the School of Life Sciences that no one else can strive for in a few lifetimes.But she turned a blind eye to this kind of blood wealth, and even wanted to escape, so she plunged into the church and became a trial nun who dealt with demons all day long.

And the reason for this is not difficult to guess, it is because of Catherine's strong resistance to the Academy of Life Sciences, a holy land of science and technology throughout the empire, and her aversion to her father.

That's right. Disgust.

Professor Darwin is undoubtedly the most powerful scholar in the entire Holy Calendar. He almost developed the subject of "Demonology" to the extreme by himself. Lord Dante once said that every field has amazing talents. Professor Darwin is undoubtedly the strongest genius in the field of biological science.

Moreover, his talent in this field is not limited to the study of demons. In fact, even if the gates of hell have never been opened, Professor Darwin must have written the most colorful handwriting in history. In short, he is almost loved by the entire empire. The admiration and respect of scientific research scholars.

However, no daughter would like a father who only comes home once every two months.

When Catherine was young, she even thought that the laboratory was her father's home. On the day her mother died of illness, her father was still immersed in his research. It was not until five days later that she learned that his wife had passed away. , Then, he stood alone in front of his wife's grave with an umbrella all night, and then returned to the laboratory again.

From that day on, Catherine felt that the behemoth of the School of Life Sciences was so abominable.

"So, you are responsible for these assessments and screenings?" Sherlock asked with a cigarette in his mouth but didn't light it up.

"Yes, in fact, if I'm not afraid of being too ostentatious, I even want to make the fight a little bigger." Catherine said, then frowned and stared at the cigarette on Sherlock's mouth: "If you want to smoke, hurry up and smoke it." It clicks."

"As you wish, beautiful lady." Sherlock took out the lighter and lit the cigarette, and took a good puff. It could be seen that he was just asking for the approval of the owner of the villa symbolically.

After that, he didn't ask about the relationship between Catherine and her father, and he didn't care what kind of mood a girl who ran away from home since she was a child felt when she learned of the death of her hated father. Slowly opened the mouth and said:

"Let's talk about the case?"

And after a few words came out, Catherine seemed to suddenly feel that the aura of the man in front of her had changed, as if only when the case was mentioned, he would show a little bit of his heart, while the usual man with no quality The hateful man he is, is just a decadent body soaked in a boring life.

Inadvertently, she was also infected by this atmosphere, sat up straight and slowly began to speak.

In fact, the whole process of the case is not complicated, and it can even be said to be clear at a glance.

Just over three months ago, when Professor Darwin was conducting an experiment on demons, he was in the same room with a third-order demon.

This third-tier big demon has been injected with demon tranquilizers, which are commonly used in demon breeding farms, so it is not dangerous, but when the professor approached it, suddenly, this demon went crazy and entered the room inexplicably. into a state of rage.

Dean Darwin was only a second-level contractor, and it was impossible for him to survive the berserk of that demon. In addition, the test site at that time was not too big, so about three seconds later, the most powerful person in the Holy Calendar Distinguished professor of biology, died in .
In full view.

Because this experiment was a demonstration of scientific research results, there were more than 100 witnesses outside the laboratory at that time. The consultants who came all the way from the front line just wanted to witness with their own eyes how shocking Professor Darwin's experiments over the years can bring to the world.

But no one expected that the last thing they saw would be a corpse torn in half.

After listening to this brief case description, Sherlock fell into thought for about a second.

"Generally speaking, during the demonstration of the experimental results, the demon suddenly lost control, so the accidental death was caused, right?"

"It wasn't an accident! It was murder!" Catherine corrected immediately.

"Oh? Why do you think so?"

"Because I know him." Catherine seemed not used to frequently using the word 'father': "He is not the kind of person who makes mistakes. Back then, in order to ensure that the data of an experiment had no errors, he even locked himself in a In the laboratory, he didn't let anyone disturb him, so that he didn't even see the last side of his wife.

Now, you're saying he's going to risk his life because of a mistake. I can't accept that. "

"So, based on this, you think that your father was murdered?" Sherlock asked very interestedly. Now he finally understands why the Academy of Life Sciences suppressed the whole thing and did not dare to leak the news. The woman in front of her feelings didn't have any evidence, and just relying on her own understanding of her father, she killed the nature of this death. If it gets out, it will most likely turn into an unmanageable farce in the end.

"You don't believe me either, do you?" Catherine didn't seem to have any emotion in her words. It can be seen that she has also been under pressure from many aspects during this period, so she didn't explain as domineeringly as usual at this moment Or questioning, just looking at the table weakly.

"Of course not, I believe you, this is a murder!"

"What?!" Catherine turned her head suddenly and looked at Sherlock in surprise.

In fact, this morning, when she heard the name [Sherlock Holmes], she also showed a similar expression of surprise.

Although she knew that Sherlock was a very extraordinary person as early as the first time the two met, but this time, each of the people invited by the Academy of Sciences is a rare talent. He was able to stand out as a commoner.

He even actually cracked the combination of his father's safe.
Thinking about it this way, this guy seems to have some kind of strange connection with His Royal Highness Shengzi. I really don't know how many secrets this ugly detective still hides.

"Do you believe me?" It may be that she has received too many doubts in the past few months, and she was suddenly recognized once, which made this stubborn young lady a little uncomfortable, and even asked, "Why?"

"Intuition." Sherlock said naturally: "Actually, you may not understand, but you have seen a lot of murders, and this kind of intuition is quite strong. A death that could not have happened happened right in front of everyone. There are many witnesses, and all of them are people with identities, and the time is just at the moment when the "experimental results display" is such a high-profile moment. Although everything seems logical, so many logical elements are gathered together. It just gives me a feeling of [the atmosphere is so hot, if there is no murder case, I will be sorry for this condition]."

Sherlock spread his hands and explained.

Of course, he still has many reasons that he didn’t mention, that is, the old dean died, there was a large-scale air crash in London, some people wanted to kill the Holy Son, and some people were hiding the truth. , even if it happened three months ago, the probability that the death of the old dean is murder will inevitably increase exponentially.

Of course, Catherine didn't know that there were so many inside stories in Sherlock's mind. She just stared blankly at the annoying person in front of her, smelling the disgusting smell of smoke in the air. After hesitating for a moment, she finally whispered:

"Thank you."

"thanks?"

"Oh, of course it's not thank you for believing in me." Catherine quickly explained: "It's just... I'm thankful that there are still people with a long head like you in this world. You are better than those bastards who only know how to stare at inheritance Much stronger."

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something, and there was a trace of boredom in her expression.

Sherlock didn't want to take care of this kind of family affairs. No matter how small the family is, they will get into some troublesome things about property division after death, let alone someone like Dean Darwin.

"So... I'm curious, what kind of experiment is the experiment you just mentioned, why are so many people paying attention to it, and why your father has to share a room with a third-order big demon."

Catherine withdrew the restless thoughts in her heart, and said:

"It is an experiment with a very long time span, you must not know it, and even many people in the industry have forgotten this experiment.

Thirty-five years ago, he put forward a conjecture called [Whether wild devils can compulsorily establish a contract].

The content of this conjecture is probably. He thinks that human becoming a contractor is not something that can be achieved by talent or chance. Under certain circumstances, anyone can become a contractor. Through the awakening dream, you don't even need to consider the level of the contractor.

In other words, everyone can control the third-order great demon.

However, this idea is a bit too ridiculous, so when it was proposed, it was criticized by many people, and even found it ridiculous, but because of his status as the dean of the School of Life Sciences, he did not raise it positively.

Of course the old guy knew this too, but he was a stubborn person, as long as it was something he had decided, he would not listen to dissuasion, so since that day, he has been deeply buried in this experiment.

So for more than 30 years, during this time, he worked almost every day, every minute, his wife died, and his only daughter left this house, oh, sorry I was wrong, this is not his home, the old guy's real home is in the laboratory"

Speaking of this, Catherine was still expressionless, as if she was talking about the life of someone she didn't know very well, but Sherlock could hear the trembling in his voice, but couldn't tell whether it was sadness or anger .

"On that day three months ago, at lunch, he suddenly told Butler Maud that he had succeeded.

I can't guess the mood of the person who heard this sentence at that time, maybe it was too shocking.

And what is even more shocking is that after a week.

he died
He died in the display of his more than 30 years of experimental results! "

Before she finished speaking, Catherine suddenly raised her head, and then looked at Sherlock in front of her very seriously:

"I hate that old guy, he doesn't deserve to be a father, and he certainly doesn't deserve to be a husband!
But he can't just die
He abandoned his family, his wife, his life, his hobbies and me!
He used all this, his time, his energy, the sense of family responsibility and love he should have had, in exchange for more than 30 years of experimental results!

Then it is absolutely impossible for him to fail, and he cannot even allow the slightest flaw in this experiment, not just his dignity as a man and his self-restraint as a scholar.

But he dare not die!

Otherwise, those things he gave up are nothing, how could his soul face my mother safely.?

Even if he really failed and was torn in two, he would get up and linger on the life-sustaining instrument until the experiment was completed!
and so!
He must have been murdered! "
