All his teachers blamed him for his indecent behavior and his unworthy behavior.'

I asked them: 'But why can you tolerate it? I think you can drive them away if you like.'

When I asked her this question, she blushed and said, "How wonderful it would be if I refused them the rent on the day they came. Just because there is a very tempting question, each of them rents one pound a day.

That’s 14 pounds a week. Besides, it happens to be the off-season when there are few customers. I am a widow, and although my son is serving in the navy, his expenses are huge. I really can’t bear to let such a generous rent go to waste. So I try to tolerate it as much as possible.

.However, this time recently, he became too noisy, so I kicked him out. That's why they moved away.'

I asked: 'What happened next?'

She continued to narrate: 'Later, I saw them leaving in a carriage, and I felt relieved. Now, my son is on vacation. But I didn't dare to tell him any of these things, because he has a bad temper and he also

I felt particularly sorry for Alice. After the two tenants left, I closed the door and finally solved a big knot in my heart. God knows, less than an hour later, someone called the door and it turned out that Driber was back. He looked very excited.

It was obvious that he had drunk a lot of wine. He rushed into the house, where Alice and I were sitting. This guy started talking nonsense, saying that he had missed the train. Later, he dared to face me in front of me.

He talked to my daughter in person and suggested that Alice elope with him. He told Alice that she had grown up and the laws could no longer control her, and that he had plenty of money, so she didn’t have to worry about the old lady. Now.

, follow him immediately! He said she could enjoy happiness like a princess. My daughter was very scared and kept avoiding this guy. But he grabbed her wrist and pulled her out. I was so scared that I screamed. At this time,

My son Arthur came in. I don’t know what happened next. I only heard the sounds of scuffling and yelling, and it was a chaotic mess. I was so frightened that I didn’t even dare to raise my head. Finally, finally,

It was quiet. I raised my head and saw my son standing at the door, smiling, with a stick in his hand. Arthur, a living treasure, would never come to trouble again. I went out and followed him to see what he did.

Having said this, Arthur picked up his hat and ran into the street. The next morning we heard the news that this fellow Drebber had been murdered.'

The above is what Mrs. Charpenti said herself. When she spoke, she would often pause for a while and occasionally take a breath. Sometimes her speaking voice was very low, and I really couldn't hear it clearly. However, I basically transcribed what she said.

Once you get down there, there will definitely be no big mistakes.

My partner yawned and said, "That was really good, but what happened next?"

Gregson continued: When Mrs. Charpenti stopped talking, I discovered the key to the whole case. I stared at her with the eyes that are very effective for women, and asked her about the return of her son Arthur.

time.

She replied: 'I don't know.'

I asked: 'Not sure?'

'I really don't know. But Arthur has the key to the spring lock, and he will open the door himself.'

I asked again: 'He didn't come back until you went to bed, right?'

'Yes.'

'What time do you usually go to bed?'

'It's about 11 o'clock.'

'So your son will be out for at least two hours.'

'Yes.'

'He has been out for four or five hours, is it possible?'

'Also a possibility.'

'What has he been doing during these hours?'

She replied: 'I don't know.' At this time, her lips turned white. Of course, at this point, there is no need to ask more about other things. After I knew the whereabouts of Lieutenant Charpenti, I took two police colleagues with me.

Arrested him. At that time, I patted his shoulder and warned him to follow us and stop playing tricks. But he actually said boldly: 'I think you arrested me because you thought I was related to the death of that bad guy in Delib!'

'I didn't mention this to him, but he said it himself first, which made me feel even more suspicious.

"Suspicious indeed," agreed my companion.

"At that time, Arthur was still holding the big wooden stick that Mrs. Charpenti said was used to chase Dribert. It was an oak stick and was very strong." "So, Gregson, what do you have to say?

What?" asked Holmes.

"According to my opinion, Arthur chased and beat Drebber all the way to Brixton Road. At this time, they were noisy and argued again. During the dispute, Drebber received a severe blow, probably on the right side of the road.

On the heart, therefore, although he lost his life, no scars were left. It rained heavily at night and there was no one nearby. Arthur Charpentier dragged the body to the empty house. As for the candles and blood stains,

The bloody writing on the wall, the gold ring, etc. are just some tricks he used to lead the police astray."

Holmes praised and said: "Good analysis! Well done! Gregson, you are really making great progress. It seems that sooner or later you will become famous all over the world."

Detective Gregson said proudly: "I thought I handled this matter fairly neatly. But Arthur Charpentier testified that he had been chasing for a while, and was spotted by Drieber, so he took the car

A carriage left. On the way home, he met a colleague on the ship, so he walked with this colleague for a long time. But I asked him the address of this colleague, and his answer was not satisfactory to me.

.I think that the plot of this case is very consistent. The funny thing is Leisweide, he went astray from the beginning. I speculate that he will not achieve anything. Hey, just talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

"

Sure enough, the person who came in was Detective Leisweid. When we were talking, he had already started to go upstairs, and then walked into the house. You can usually find his elation in his appearance and dress.

His extremely arrogant demeanor has disappeared now. He looks bad, has a sad face, and his clothes are sloppy. It is obvious that he came here to ask my partner for advice. But when he saw

When he arrived at his colleague Gregson, he seemed quite uneasy, even at a loss. He stood in the middle of the living room, fiddling with his hat with both hands.

Finally, he finally spoke: "Indeed, this is a case with fragmented clues, a strange thing that is difficult to understand."

Gregson said arrogantly: "Oh, do you think so too? Mr. Leisweid, I have known for a long time that you would draw such an inference. Have you found the secretary, Mr. Stangerson?"
