After one morning together, Zhang Heng can already be sure that Mr. Viare is indeed an avid fan of Sherlock Holmes.

From his words, and from the sight of Holmes, this fact was confirmed.

On the other side, although Holmes didn't say it, he could actually see that he really enjoyed this worship. No matter how lonely and upright the artist wanted his work to be accepted by the world, although Holmes was not an artist in the traditional sense, But his accomplishments in criminal investigation can indeed be called Victorian artists.

Of course, Sherlock Holmes focused more on what Vial said.

It was obvious that he was also interested in the honorary thief.

In the carriage, he asked the red-haired young man, "How much information do you have about him now?"

Viale heard a shame appear on his face. "I did my best to investigate, but I didn't get much information, mainly because it was not easy to find the victim, and most people did not want to mention what happened then. That guy ... how do you say, in a sense it is quite gentleman, as long as you pay the ransom, he will keep his promise to return you things, and will not come to harass you again, so most people will It was obedient to pay the money. "

"Okay, a robber can still manage his own reputation," Holmes praised. "It seems that our friend regards this business as his lifelong career. How can we not go to meet such a funny person? It will. "

Vial was energized, rubbing his palms and exclaiming, "So you're planning to take a shot. That's great. As long as you are willing to go out, the thief will probably be planted here this time. He must not know you are in London , Or it will definitely not come here. "

"My friend, you are too high on me." Holmes laughed. "Let's talk about the case first."

"Rest assured, I know that it is not convenient for you to go to France. I have surveyed the site almost, and collected all the information that looks useful and useless on the surface for your reference."

Vial said as he took a small notebook out of the trunk.

Zhang Heng glanced, almost every page above was filled with dense notes, and even carefully drawn pictures, even after Holmes got it, he was full of praise. "Only this carefulness, Vial You have surpassed most of your peers. "

"Hey, it's nothing, I just believe Qin can make up for it." Viale scratched his head, and his face could be appreciated by the idol.

Holmes quickly flipped over the note, and then spent another half an hour to read it from beginning to end, and handed it to Zhang Heng, "You can also take a look, it's very interesting."

Zhang Heng took the notebook and looked at the contents above.

Mr. Viscount's Canaletto oil painting was discarded half a month ago. Because of the particularity of this painting, he did not put this oil painting in the collection room like other collections. It was stored in a humble hut, and there was also an exquisite large porcelain bottle from China. In comparison, the large porcelain bottle was more valuable, but the other side was completely inactive and only took away the oil painting, apparently in advance Did a lot of homework.

"What do you think." Holmes asked Zhang Heng.

The latter thought for a moment and said, "There are several problems. First, even if the painting is lost, no one can prove that it fell into the hands of Mr. Viscount."

"Oh, this is the case. Mr. Viscount has a little quirk. He likes to sign the back of the oil paintings in the collection. Although he knows that the painting is a bit dirty, he still can't help but sign his name on it." Yar was helpless, "Otherwise I wouldn't have to chase all the way from Paris to London."

"The second question, who knew he secretly traded this painting back then?"

"You got the point," Holmes nodded. "The most interesting part of this case is here too. You said before that Mr. Viscount completed the transaction secretly through the middleman. What about the honorary thief? After knowing this for so many years, by the same token, there are other victims. Since he is staring at a person's most unbearable heart, he doesn't want to be known by the secret. First of all, he needs to dig this secret first. come out."

"This is also the place that confuses me the most," Viale said, "I have no clue about this at all. Imagine that even if he had learned one person's secret by chance, he didn't know other people's reason, otherwise this It ’s a little too amazing ~ www.novelhall.com ~ Does he have any dark magic that can directly see what he thinks in his eyes, then our opponent this time is too scary. . "

"I don't believe in what the witch doctors say about black magic," Holmes sneered. "With so many cases I have dealt with, everything that seems superficial and counterintuitive on the surface, as long as you are willing to study it, you will eventually Get a common sense explanation, rule out those impossible answers, and the rest is the truth. "

"You're right, you've been taught." Viare humbly replied. He looked like a schoolboy who was listening carefully in the classroom at the moment. Instead, Holmes was crying and laughing. He could only tell Zhang Hengdao, "Keep talking Come on, my oriental friend. "

"Thirdly, it involves the problem of committing crimes," Zhang Hengdao said. "The night before, Mr. Viscount went to see the oil painting. After that, the maid who cleaned the house early the next morning found that the oil painting was missing. That is to say, the crime time is between this time, but the Viscount's mansion is closely guarded, and he also has a few hounds. The hounds did not say anything that night, and the note said that no other visitors came to visit during this time, and that room There is a small garden behind. There was a light rain in the morning, the soil was loose, there were no footprints on it, and the front door was facing the housekeeper's room. He did not hear any unusual sounds at night, so how did the honorary thief enter the viscount Mansion, did you take this picture out before dawn? "

Viale was also distressed, "Yeah, this guy is really amazing. He went without a trace. The maid cleaned in the morning and found that the picture frame was still there, but the oil painting inside was missing. The guy was still missing. A letter signed by Mr. M was left on the ground, and he proudly commented on the decoration of the Viscount Mansion. It was really annoying to regard it as his own backyard. "
