”Have you checked the maid who cleaned the room?” Holmes took out his pipe and filled it with tobacco.
”Check, although the maid has been working in the house for two years, the old housekeeper detained her and searched her for the first time. No oil painting was found, and she entered the room and came out again. The old housekeeper who was looking for the opposite door has not been anywhere else in the middle, so her suspicion in this case can be ruled out. ”Viard said.
After a pause, he went on to say, ”Through the relationship of the Viscount, I also found two other victims who had been patronized by Mr. M. Listening to their descriptions is similar to the situation this time. I have received a letter from Mr. M. One of them was stolen while on vacation, and the other is more prominent than Mr. Viscount. His things are better hidden, but he was lost. The guy was like Like a magician, no matter what secret room can be drilled in, everyone plays with the palm of his hand. ”
Holmes heard nothing, lit a cigarette and took a breath. ”One of the best thieves I've ever encountered is a dwarf performing in a circus. His body is only half the height of a child, and he is thin and can slip into you from the chimney At home, he can squeeze through a very narrow gap by means of shrinking bones, but even he can't leave no trace at all. ”
”So I can't figure out how that guy did it, so I can only ask you.” Vial respectfully said.
”Okay,” Holmes smiled. ”Since I've promised to help you, and I'm interested in this case, I'm sure I won't let it go, but for now we'll find a place for you in London first. . ”
The three arrived in front of a hotel in a carriage. While Vial checked in, Holmes stood in the lobby with a smoking pipe to check the passengers coming and going.
”Do you think Mr. M will be among them?” Zhang Heng asked.
”Who knows?” Holmes spit out a ring of smoke and saw that he was in a good mood now. ”We are very lucky today, Zhang. I encountered such an interesting case early in the morning. Viale will surprise us. Hey, this guy did not disappoint me. ”
”...” Zhang Heng was a little bit crying. The more thorny the case with Vial was, the more happy Holmes was. The detective's thinking was really different from ordinary people.
