what's the situation?

How did Helen's sister die?

Was it her stepfather who killed him? Or have you gone crazy and died?

Why did Helen's sister yell before she died, The belt! It's the spotted belt!

This unique attraction from suspenseful mystery novels deeply attracts readers!

The sound of whistles, the sound of metal clashing, my sister's dying cry, the spotted tape, my stepfather...

These mysterious clues will definitely be connected together, but how exactly is it done?

The particularity of suspense mystery novels makes the novel a challenge to the readers the moment the case appears!

Mystery novels that allow readers to deduce the truth before the secret is revealed are either excellent or extremely bad.

Those who dare to challenge readers are usually the former!

After seeing these clues, thousands of Sherlock Holmes fans immediately became eager to win. Not only did they want to completely deconstruct the details of the case, they at least wanted to know roughly what was going on!

Complete deconstruction is impossible because there are always details in a novel that do not make it onto the page.

Although the story states that Helen's sister died due to mental stimulation, readers know that since this story appears in Sherlock Holmes's books, it must not be that simple.

Why Helen came to see Holmes was because Helen moved back to her sister's room, but just last night, the whistle sounded again.

Seeing this, the hair on the hair of some viewers stood up slightly.

For these unknown things, many readers have an element of fear. Otherwise, it cannot be said that this Spotted Belt Case and Conan's Murder in the Art Museum are the childhood shadows of many mystery fans.

No motive for the murder was concealed.

The murderer is probably this stepfather, but the question is how he did it, and what do the spotted belts and whistles mean.

Li Liyue thought while watching.

According to Holmes' investigation, according to Helen's mother's will, if Helen's sisters all get married, the stepfather will not be able to obtain much inheritance. This gives the stepfather full motive for murder!

This is not a murder mystery similar to the Blizzard Mountain Villa model, but a search for criminal methods.

Soon, Holmes entered Helen's house to investigate. In the room where Helen's sister died, a strange rope was found beside the bed. It was said to have been installed two years ago. It was a vent on top, leading to the stepfather's room.

The stepfather's room was equally simple, with a safe, a dish of milk on it, a chair against the wall with shoe prints on it, and a dog training whip at the angle of the bed.

One clue after another was placed in front of the readers. Not to mention the readers, even Li Liyue and Xiao Xiang, who were mystery novelists, frowned slightly and thought carefully.

The style of this case is the style of detective investigation that all mystery fans most want to see. That’s why the Spotted Belt Case has been pushed to such a high level by Sherlock Holmes fans!

There were bell ropes hanging from the vents, the bed was fixed, Helen's sister was dead, it was a well-planned murder.

Li Liyue murmured and turned the page impatiently.

The next plot is that Holmes and Watson are lurking in the night to see what the whistle is about!

Late at night, the two sneaked into the room quietly. This description of the old thief was very detailed and deeply immersive. Many readers swallowed subconsciously and nervously read the words in the book.

Just after three o'clock in the morning, sure enough, that terrifying whistle sounded!

[Holmes sprang up from the bed, struck a match, and struck the bell-rope violently with his cane-whip. 】

Did you see that, Watson? he shouted loudly! 】

What did you see?

Readers are confused.

Watson is also confused!

The next moment, a scream came from the next room!

The readers' perspective follows Sherlock Holmes as he rushes into his stepfather's room!

I saw my stepfather sitting motionless on the chair, with a yellow spotted belt wrapped around his forehead.

A pair of eyes, staring stiffly at the corner of the ceiling!

Fuck!

So this is the spotted belt!

Mad! I should have thought of it earlier! Poisonous snakes! Aren't venomous snakes just strips of spots!

“I knew before that spotted belt was a description, but I didn’t expect it!”

At this moment, when readers saw the most venomous snake in Indiana in the novel, the swamp viper, they suddenly realized it and at the same time felt a strong sense of frustration.

They should have thought of it!

The stepfather harmed others and ultimately harmed himself, and he died under a poisonous snake. But regarding this case, Watson...

No……

There are still many things that readers do not understand.

At the end of The Case of the Spotted Band, Holmes explained it again.

It turns out that Holmes realized the strangeness when he entered Helen's room and saw the unusual vent and bell rope, as if something was used as a bridge.

Combined with the description of the spotted belt and his stepfather's habit of raising dangerous animals, Holmes immediately thought of poisonous snakes. The milk, whips, and chairs with trampled marks in his stepfather's room further confirmed Holmes' guess!

Why?!

What's that whistle?

Watson was still puzzled.

Most of the readers were also confused. Only Li Liyue, Xiao Xiangshota and other experienced mystery writers took a deep breath and secretly thought that this was the case.

The clues were so nakedly placed in front of them, and they didn't even think of it!

Reasoning, magic, these unknown things are like this. Under the seemingly magical and complicated appearance, there may be an extremely simple trick or truth hidden.

Li Liyue murmured:

I see……

That whistle was the sound of my stepfather calling back the venomous snake.

This kind of venomous snake is special. Its venom and wounds are difficult to detect. The milk on the table is the food given to the venomous snake by my stepfather.

The sound of metal clashing that is often heard should be the sound of locking the venomous snake in the safe! Everything is correct!!

The reason why my stepfather was bitten to death was because Holmes knocked the venomous snake back through the vent. The angry snake's nature was aroused and he bit him to death!

Just like venomous snakes, the bloodthirsty nature of many animals cannot be tamed.

Even if the wolves in zoos or circuses are domesticated, their wildness and attack power still exist.

It was just a temporary surrender for food.

If you are not careful and your true nature is exposed, you will bite humans and cause tragedy. This kind of thing has happened more than once or twice in the real world.

Although it is just a short mystery story that is not too long, the Spotted Belt Case is full of a sense of intrigue, coupled with the extremely atmospheric descriptions in the novel, making many readers completely immersed in it!

Cool!

After reading this article, even some non-mystery readers found it very enjoyable to read the mystery novel by the old thief!

Especially after Holmes sees through the trick and subdues the murderer with a strange trick, the narrative structure of revealing the trick while Watson and the audience are confused is very cool!

In addition to the spotted tape case, there are eleven completely different cases in these two Adventure History, all of which are of very high quality!

One short story after another, Jiuzhou readers are led to wander in the ocean of Sherlock Holmes.

In a short period of time, it became popular in Kyushu!
