In the evening, Wiggins returned to report that the Baker Street squad stared at Pearson for a long time and had nothing to gain. He worked at the chemical plant as usual and did nothing unusual.
Holmes was not in a hurry, just let the group of ghosts keep staring, and he himself set about finishing the dissertation on the influence of professional opponents.
As a result, Wiggins hurried to the door the next day. Mrs. Hudson was frightened when she was toasting in the kitchen. Zhang Heng was also awakened by this voice. When she came out of the room, she saw him downstairs. Sherlock Holmes laughed and took seven shillings to Wiggins. "One person, two of you, go to Sheriff Gregson, and say Holmes called him to 221B Baker Street." Then he looked up To Zhang Heng walking down the stairs.
"Finished, this case can finally be concluded. Pearson is arrested, and the main criminal cannot run away."
"Huh?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows. "Your evidence has been collected."
"Yes," Holmes said, rubbing his hands. "Let's have breakfast first, and wait for Gregson, by the way, I'll say it together."
After about an hour, Sheriff Gregson came to 221B Baker Street reluctantly. As soon as she entered the door, she yelled, "I said the case is over. What are you looking for? Our police work is also very busy. , I couldn't sleep much last night. "
"Really, what are you working on, a new case? Still waiting to be commended by the director." Holmes laughed.
Gregson flushed, muttering, "After all, I also contributed to the city. This case has been in the newspapers for the past two days, and it is normal for the director to take it seriously."
"Yes, but I don't think it's too late to catch the real killer before celebrating," Holmes said.
"The real killer?" Gregson frowned.
"Come with me. It won't take you much time," Holmes said. "Yes, are you handcuffed?"
"Bring it here," Gregson said impatiently. "The gun is here too, and I won't leave these things."
"I don't think the word of the gun is necessary. After all, the other party is not a wicked person. Besides, there are still masters on our side." Holmes looked at Zhang Heng while he was watching. It was difficult to forget what happened yesterday. His eyes are now A little bit swollen.
"Let's go, gentlemen."
The three did not immediately arrive at the chemical plant, but first came to a pawnshop in a carriage. Holmes said to the pawnshop's owner, "Someone came to **** a carpet before. Where is that carpet?"
The boss of the pawnshop suddenly felt nervous when he heard his face, and cursed, "I know."
"Ok?"
"I'm not talking about you guys, I'm talking about the guy who came to the **** rug before. I was doubting him at the time. I can't tell you that I've been doing this business for so long, but these eyes have seen many people. Dressed like him, it was a bitter haha, how could there be such a good carpet, and it was specially selected to trade in the early morning and when the door was opened, I muttered in my heart at the time, this thing was not stolen by him Right. "
"Well, how dare you take it?" Gregson said.
The boss heard a sneer when he heard the words.
"How much did you give him?" Holmes asked.
"Two ... two pounds," said the boss. "I pondered the workmanship and materials. If I really wanted to buy them, it would cost twenty or thirty pounds to get them."
"So you can make ten times as long as you change hands," Holmes said. "Come on, don't be uncomfortable. This thing is evidence, and it involves a murder case. Maybe we can still return it after we run out. Here you are, let us take a look now. "
"OK ... Okay."
The boss took the three of them to the warehouse where the pawns were kept. Holmes crouched down and didn't need to use a magnifying glass to see the remaining blood in the middle of the carpet.
It was obviously cleaned and wiped there, but it couldn't be wiped clean.
"I can't explain anything about this," Gregson said, but his voice was a little shaken, and he felt a little panicked at the moment, as if he was comforting himself, and said, "And the boss also said this It's likely that something was stolen. "
"This is the carpet for John Jones's office," Holmes said. "I honestly didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and I thought he would handle it in a more secure way."
"How does this name sound familiar? Wait ... this is the current owner of John Mills?" Gregson finally remembered where the name came from. "When we went to the mills, he was the one who hosted us. Others look pretty good. "
"Women in the textile factory don't think so. This is not the first time he has harassed those women in the factory." Holmes said, "Although everyone doesn't want to talk about this, I still try to find out just the year before. After taking over the textile factory from his father, women workers here often have accidental pregnancy. Of course, UU reads www.uukanshu.com. Of course, most people did not speak up. After leaving the textile factory, they left the textile factory.
"It's really not a glorious thing," Gregson's attitude softened and paused. "Well, I admit that I may have missed something before. Mr. John also seems to have some suspicions, but I still want to It was said that the boy named Paul was still my number one suspect here. After all, the clothes under his bed were real. "
"Don't worry, listen to me." Holmes smiled.
"It was Molly's turn to clean the night of the incident. She was the last person to leave. At that time, the lights in John's office were also lit, so only the two of them were in the factory at the end. This left him time to commit crimes. The next day I went to visit the textile factory with Zhang. The guy at the door told us that John was not there. It was suspicious in itself. After that happened, he should have tried to calm down the mood of the female workers in the factory recently. I took the time. I slipped into John's office and noticed that his carpet had been changed. The new carpet was obviously not the right size, and it was probably brought from home for emergency. There was a faint blood stain on the corner of his handsome desk. Penetrating into the wood grain, but like you said, that still doesn't explain Molly's clothes under Paul's bed. "
Gregson could not sit in the sheriff's position, but it wasn't a complete elm puppet, and he shook his head when he heard the words, "Don't tell me it was John who gave trouble to Paul. As soon as Paul worked in the chemical plant next door, John might not Knowing him, even if he knows that there is such a person as Paul, it is impossible to know where the latter lives. The road in the slums can stun John. If a person like him is too conspicuous to go in and out, Maybe nobody noticed. "
"Yes, that's right, so I think there is another accomplice in this case," Holmes said.
