Chapter 162 Murder Seven Thousand Kilometers Away?

With this question, Catherine's discomfort became more and more obvious. She clenched her fist almost subconsciously, and then slowly spit out a word:

"eat human."

Sherlock raised his eyebrows: "Cannibal?"

As a professional detective, he certainly knows what the behavior of cannibalism comes from. It is definitely not a pursuit of taste, oh. Maybe some real perverts are due to taste, but most of them are deviations in his own cognition.These cannibal criminals all feel that they are a creature that should be above humans, similar to humans who claim to be above livestock, so they will naturally eat meat. Similarly, if they think they are above humans, they will eat people to show that they are different at the species level.

However, 90% of this kind of people have no skills. They only dare to commit atrocities against the old, weak, sick and disabled who have no resistance, but they still dare not go up when they see someone stronger than themselves.

After all, they're just a bunch of poor, sick-brained bastards.

However, Sherlock seemed to taste the Chief of Staff of Baskerville from Catherine's mouth, exuding something different.

Immediately after
"According to rumors, he not only cannibalized himself, but also made his soldiers cannibalize.

Also, cannibalism isn't the only thing that makes him uncomfortable.

He also seems to have been trying to eat the demon's flesh.
This person is a fanatical admirer of Lord Dante. He probably thinks that Lord Dante can survive alone in hell for more than a year by relying on the flesh and blood of the devil. Since Lord Dante can do it, he should be able to do it himself.

Moreover, he is extremely strict with his subordinates.

I belong to the Knights of the Holy See, and I don't have much contact with the Crusaders, so I haven't heard much about him.

But I always feel that a large part of the soldiers who would rather die in battle than return with a failed result is because of the existence of Baskerville.

They feel that when they go back, they are likely to face something more terrifying than death. "

As Sherlock listened and thought, the image of the Chief of Staff, whom he had never seen or even heard, became clearer in his mind.

Of course, it's not the appearance, but a certain form. Anyway, if that person came face to face in the crowd, he would definitely recognize him immediately.

Well, the focus should not be here for the time being
Sherlock is still a competent detective, and he can't keep thinking wildly when he is working, so he quickly dragged his thoughts back to the case itself.

He began to walk around the [Hound Dog] in front of him while asking Catherine to describe the situation when the old dean died.

Since Catherine did not witness that scene with her own eyes, she could only reproduce the scene at that time from the dictation of eyewitnesses asked during this period.

But the difficulty is that the mouth grows on different people, so everyone's description of the scene is different, and in that frightening situation, no one can guarantee that what they remember is accurate.

But... It seems that everyone has a common description, that is --- torn in half.

"In most of the detailed retellings, the witnesses emphasized words such as [clutching the body with one hand, clutching the legs with the other, and then cruelly tearing them apart from the middle]."

Catherine said, and at the same time, she even learned the position with her own hands.

Fortunately, during this process, Catherine was very calm, without any ups and downs in her tone, as if she wanted to express that she was not deeply touched by her father's tragic death.

Except for the extra fine sweat on the palms.
Sherlock listened, and then his eyes focused on the huge demon in front of him.

[The Hound of the Baskervilles] has an extremely huge body, and many people may not have any idea of ​​the height of 20 meters. For example, if the height of each floor of a residential building is 2.5 meters, then 20 meters is at least equivalent to the height of a seven-story building.

People with a fear of heights will experience severe vertigo when looking over their shoulders.

And such a body can still give people a "thick and thick" visual experience, which shows how huge the devil in front of him is.

However, it was because of this huge size that Sherlock found a strange place.

He looked at the thick palms that could flatten a steam chariot with a slap, and said thoughtfully: "I found a very interesting thing."

Catherine frowned: "What did you find?"

"That's right. If it goes according to what it appears on the surface, then I should have found the murderer who killed your father."

"!!!"

This sentence came so suddenly that Catherine didn't even react, but in the next second, she stared angrily, and even subconsciously forgot that Sherlock had just walked into this laboratory less than 15 minutes ago, how could a case be solved so quickly.

But she still stepped in front of the other party in an extremely urgent step, suppressing the excitement in her heart:
"Murderer?! Who is the murderer?!"

"From a theoretical point of view, it is obvious that the murderer is the manipulator of this demon."

"You mean Baskerville?"

Catherine must feel that this kind of thing is not in the 'obvious' category, so he asked eagerly: "Why."

"Because the size doesn't match." Sherlock pointed to the [Hound Dog]'s palm hanging on the sides of his body: "Look, this guy's palm is too thick, too wide, and has thick scales attached to it, which is not suitable for grasping at all. And Dean Darwin is only 170 cm tall, and its hardness is too soft for this third-order big demon.

For example, if this big guy is compared to a human being, its hands are equivalent to a person wearing a pair of baseball gloves, and Dean Darwin is equivalent to a thin noodle of three or four centimeters. "

While speaking, Sherlock also clenched his hands and made a 'twisting' movement in front of him.

"Now imagine a guy wearing a baseball glove grabbing an extremely short noodle and trying to tear it off. What an awkward act.

If this demon is really acting according to its own instinct, how can it make such a posture that is against common sense.

If it wants to kill, it must use patting or smashing. In short, no matter what the posture is, it will definitely not be [tear in two]. "

Catherine stood where she was, thinking about the situation Sherlock had described, and tried a few times with both hands in front of her.

In fact, it doesn't take much thought to understand what Rishylock is trying to express.

Indeed, this posture is too awkward.

"So this demon behaved like that under manipulation?" She murmured vigilantly.

"At least for the time being, that's all I can understand."

"But... as I said before, Chief of Staff Baskerville was commanding operations along the Redeker Strait.

He is more than 7000 kilometers away from here, even by airship, it will take more than ten days. "

Sherlock smiled and comforted Catherine:

"Don't worry, a qualified case must have something attractive.

In fact, you can think about the benefits.

At least in this way
As long as we find a way to go back and forth within a distance of thousands of kilometers in an instant, or control the contract demon thousands of kilometers away, then the case will be solved easily. "
