Personality V: I will save everything

Chapter 580 Clues interrupted

"That sheriff........."

Sheriff Lestrade had no doubt about Holmes' judgment and believed that Miss Jenny was innocent. However, the development of the matter was beyond his expectation.

Just as he was about to believe Holmes's inference, a police officer hurried over and reported to him shocking news.

According to the police officer, many servants had heard Miss Jenny and Mr. Campbell having a heated argument in the study not long ago.

Although the servants could not hear the specific content of the quarrel because of the study door, they all heard Miss Jenny shouting excitedly: "I'm going to kill you!" This sentence instantly tipped the balance in Sheriff Lestrade's heart.

This new clue made Inspector Lestrade doubt Miss Jenny's innocence.

After all, such a fierce quarrel and such decisive words make it hard not to associate her with them.

.................................................. ........................

"Therefore, we have to doubt Miss Jenny and think that she is a serious suspect of hiring a killer. You know, Miss Jenny is the popular heroine of Mr. Campbell's theater!

Moreover, what is more noteworthy is that she is the only person who can enter and leave the mansion freely after midnight, which means that she has every opportunity and ability to learn about many of Mr. Campbell's living habits.

For example, she must have known that Mr. Campbell would take a bath to relax every time he came back from the theater, so she could easily pass this information to the murderer she bribed.

In this way, the murderer could easily steal Mr. Campbell's hand while he was bathing. And Miss Jenny herself could go to the slums at the time of the crime to create a perfect alibi. "

Inspector Lestrade could not help but shake his head, thinking to himself: "This time, Sherlock Holmes might have really made a mistake!" He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with this great detective who was famous for his keen insight and precise reasoning.

However, on second thought, Sheriff Lestrade felt that it was understandable.

After all, the servants' testimonies have not yet been fully collected, and many details of the case have not yet surfaced.

In this situation, even a genius like Sherlock Holmes is bound to make mistakes.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, Holmes seems to have been cleverly used by Miss Jenny and became a tool for her alibi.

This made Sheriff Lestrade deeply suspicious of Miss Jenny's true intentions.

However, I have to mention that the other party is really a shrewd woman.

.................................................. ........................

"That's absolutely not the case! How could I do such a thing?! Norton is my best friend, and you can even say he is my benefactor! I am filled with gratitude towards him, so how could I kill him?! If you insist on doubting me, you are totally wrong!

If you think I would say "I want to kill you", that's nonsense! Norton and I have a deep friendship. We have always supported each other and made progress together. How can such a friendship be easily destroyed by your unfounded suspicion?

Moreover, I can tell you a fact, that is, we were rehearsing the script before. In that script, there was indeed such a line, but it was only for the plot! This does not mean that I have any motive or intention to kill Norton.

If you don't believe what I say, you can go to Norton's study and check it out. I guarantee that you will find the script in a drawer. Then you will understand that everything I said is true, and your suspicion of me is groundless! "

When Sheriff Lestrade expressed his doubts about Miss Jenny again, she seemed to have an irrepressible irritability surging in her heart. However, years of education and self-restraint made her suppress this emotion and try to maintain the calmness on the surface.

Even so, her voice was unconsciously filled with a barely perceptible hint of impatience.

She took a deep breath, tried to keep her tone steady, and then said slowly: "Mr. Sheriff, I have explained this many times. I have nothing to do with this case. Everything I did was out of good intentions and the pursuit of justice."

Her eyes rested firmly on Inspector Lestrade, as if to tell him that she was not swayed by his suspicions.

Then she continued: "I understand that as a police officer, you need to conduct in-depth investigations on every clue and suspect. But please believe me, I am definitely not the person you are looking for."

After saying these words, Miss Jenny felt that her patience had reached its limit. She couldn't help wondering if she could still maintain her politeness and restraint if the Sheriff continued to suspect her without any reason.

.................................................. ........................

Miss Jenny's words were powerful, and Lestrade's suspicion of Miss Jenny was indeed just a groundless guess.

Holmes no longer had any hope for Lestrade's intelligence, so he simply winked at the police officers beside him and asked them to go to the study and see if they could find the script that Miss Jenny mentioned.

.................................................. ........................

Not long after, the police officers actually found the script that Miss Jenny mentioned in the drawer of the study. The content of the script was roughly as follows:

This is a heart-wrenching story about how a kind housewife, after suffering great tragedy, gradually degenerates into a cold-blooded serial killer.

This housewife was once a gentle, kind, and friendly person, and her life revolved around her husband and children. However, fate played a cruel joke on her. First, her husband passed away, which plunged her into great grief. Then, her child was stolen, and this blow completely shattered her world.

After experiencing this series of tragedies, the housewife's heart was gradually swallowed by darkness and completely collapsed. Her heart was filled with pain, despair and hatred. In extreme pain, her mind gradually became distorted, and she eventually turned into a serial killer who fought for justice in the dark.

She embarked on a crazy journey of revenge, killing one by one those who she believed were responsible for her tragedy. However, when she thought she had completed her revenge and killed one of the descendants of her former accomplice, she was surprised to find that the person she killed was actually her own child!

This discovery was like a bolt from the blue, completely crushing her. She couldn't accept this fact, how could her child become like this? And the culprit of all this was actually the group of people she had always wanted to take revenge on.

What broke her heart even more was that her child had turned from an obedient and well-behaved child into a complete rogue under the influence of that group of people. She couldn't even recognize that it was her own child, which made her feel extremely guilty and regretful.

On the verge of collapse, the housewife completely lost her mind. She was no longer obsessed with enforcing so-called justice, but began to kill indiscriminately. Since her own life had been ruined, she might as well ruin the lives of others.

However, just after she committed a series of heinous crimes, the gears of fate suddenly began to turn, bringing her into an unexpected truth.

By chance, she accidentally discovered the real mastermind behind the case, and the murderer had not been killed by her own hands.

As the investigation deepened, she gradually uncovered the conspiracy. When she finally stood in front of the culprit after going through untold hardships, her heart was filled with shock and disbelief.

Because the real murderer she had been searching for turned out to be her long-dead husband!

It turned out that all this was just a conspiracy carefully planned by the husband. As the uncrowned king of the underworld, he longed for an heir who could inherit his position. So he came up with this sinister and cunning plan.

It was not by chance that he hid his real name and married a seemingly ordinary woman. He saw through his wife's potential at first sight. Although she usually behaved kindly, under that gentle mask, she was a demon in human skin.

He deliberately designed all this in order to drive his wife crazy and test his children's ability and reaction. However, it went against his will and his children were not spared and were brutally killed by his crazy wife.

Despite this, he did not feel too lost or frustrated. After all, he already had a wife who he thought was perfect. This woman not only met all his expectations of an ideal partner, but also possessed unparalleled charm and wisdom.

Therefore, he decided to continue living with this perfect wife and planned to have more children. He firmly believed that among the many heirs, there would always be a child who could meet his requirements and become his true heir.

However, the wife could not accept this reality. She was extremely angry and desperate about her husband's actions, and finally started a fierce fight with him. The fight was extremely brutal, and both sides used all their strength.

In the end, the wife succeeded in killing her husband with her tenacious willpower and extraordinary skills, and she herself became the new uncrowned king of this underground world, ruling this dark realm.

.................................................. ........................

Honestly, if he wasn't at the crime scene, Inspector Lestrade probably wouldn't be able to hold back his impulse and yell, "What the hell is this bullshit script?!"

The logic of this script is so confusing that it's outrageous. It's completely fabricated!

However, if you look at it purely from the perspective of a script full of drama and plot twists, it's not bad.

But the problem is, from a police officer's perspective, the script is a complete mess!

However, this also seems to confirm from another perspective that what Miss Jenny said is true.

After all, the name of the male lead in the script was clearly written as Norton Campbell.

It seems that what Miss Jenny said at the time, that she was just acting with Mr. Campbell, should be true.

Moreover, there is a plot in the script: when the wife heard all the truth told by her husband, the first words she said were "I'm going to kill you"!

No wonder the servants outside the door could hear it so clearly. It turned out that Mr. Campbell asked Miss Jenny to yell loudly many times in order to make her performance more contagious.

.................................................. ........................

So this clue is blocked. From the current situation, Miss Jenny had nothing to do with this incident from beginning to end. She had no motive to commit the crime, no time to commit the crime, and was not at the scene when the crime occurred. She is a completely unrelated person.

"Oh my........." Inspector Lestrade was a little anxious at this point. After all, they had made so many deductions along this line, but in the end this clue turned out to be a dead end.

"Miss Jenny, judging from the time, you should have just returned to the mansion when Mr. Campbell fell from above. Didn't you see the murderer's face?" Sheriff Lestrade frowned and asked in confusion.

However, he knew very well that the question he asked was actually a bit redundant.

After all, the murderer was on the second floor at the time, and it is very likely that he immediately fled the scene after seeing Mr. Campbell fall to the first floor.

How could Miss Jenny possibly notice the murderer's appearance in such a short time?

Not only that, if it was true as Lestrade imagined, that the moment Miss Jenny returned to the mansion was exactly the moment Mr. Campbell fell from the railing, then the situation would probably be even worse.

Because in this case, the murderer might choose to shoot Miss Jenny directly from the second floor for fear that his face would be seen by her.

In this case, the incident that happened tonight is probably not just an ordinary injury case.
