Chapter 640 Constraints.
But halfway through the cleaning, Holmes suddenly became curious and wondered where the others had gone. Why would a disabled person like Miss Violetta be left to clean the house alone?
Full of doubts, Holmes decided to ask Miss Violetta.
After hearing this, Miss Violetta's expression became a little complicated. After hesitating for a moment, she decided to take Holmes to a room to find out what was going on.
Holmes followed Miss Violetta through several corridors and finally came to a room.
Before Miss Violetta could speak, Holmes heard a noise coming from the room.
He pushed the door open and looked carefully, only to see that the room was crowded with people, all gathered around Mr. Norton Campbell, talking about something in a buzzing voice.
Antonio, who was standing aside, was laughing so hard that he almost choked, but it seemed that everyone was so busy that they had no time to care whether he was laughing at them or not.
"What is going on?" Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, Holmes asked in confusion.
However, no one answered his question, and everyone was still busy with their own things.
It was not until the tall men standing at the door moved aside that Holmes finally saw the situation inside the house clearly - Oh my God! Mr. Norton Campbell's hand was stuck in the hole on his stomach!
Holmes stood at the door, about to step in and inquire what had happened, but when his eyes fell on his wet trouser legs that were tightly stuck to his ankles, the question in his mind seemed to be answered all at once.
Apparently, there was so much water on the ground that even his trouser legs were soaked.
This may also be the reason why Mr. Norton Campbell encountered misfortune - perhaps he accidentally slipped on the wet ground, and then his hand was stuck right in the hole on his stomach.
In this way, all the previous questions were explained.
Why would anyone let Miss Violetta, who is disabled, clean the hall? After all, given her physical condition, it would be very difficult for her to clean up such a mess.
Now it seems that the reason is very simple. The other stronger men were busy trying to find ways to help Mr. Norton Campbell out of trouble.
.................................................. ........................
Although Holmes understood Norton Campbell's predicament, he had no good idea to help him out.
At first, Holmes had an idea: since Norton Campbell's hand was stuck, why not change it back to human form? After all, human hands are much smaller than stones, so it would be easy to pull the hand out of the stone, right?
However, after some explanation, Holmes finally rejected this idea.
The reason is simple. If they want to change back to human form, then their entire body must be changed back together, and it is not possible to change just their hands.
Judging from Norton Campbell's current condition, if his entire body were to turn back into a human, it would probably cause a horrific bloodbath.
"So the best way is to pull it out hard." Alva said solemnly, as if this decision put him under great pressure.
However, it turns out that this seemingly simple method is actually full of difficulties and challenges. Although Alva's words make sense, problems arise one after another.
Surprisingly, no matter how hard they tried, Norton seemed to keep the thing stuck extremely tightly.
Especially Lucchino and Andrew, two men known for their great strength, each pulled one side and tried their best, but they were unable to loosen the stuck place at all.
As time passed, beads of sweat gradually appeared on everyone's forehead, and their arms began to ache from the long-term exertion.
However, the stuck place did not move at all, as if it was under a spell.
At this moment, Holmes suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and an amazing idea emerged in his mind: "Why don't you just demolish Mr. Campbell?"
As soon as this sentence came out, everyone present was shocked. After all, it sounded incredible and even a little scary. However, Holmes explained slowly: "You see, Mr. Norton Campbell has now turned into a stone man. In this case, we might as well take him apart and then put him back together as he was. In this way, the stuck hand can be taken out smoothly, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a murmur among the crowd, and everyone was obviously shocked by this bold proposal.
When Norton heard Holmes' suggestion, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "Haha, that's really interesting. So when a child accidentally swallows a button, do we have to cut open his stomach, take out the button, and then sew it up? Of course not, because doing so is not only extremely risky, but also causes serious harm to the child's body."
Well, needless to say, Holmes understood, it seemed they had no choice but to pull it out forcefully.
.................................................. ........................
the other side,
"We are really in the same boat." William couldn't help but sigh as he looked at Kreacher who was also injured.
However, in response to William's expression, Kreacher simply gave him a cold look, as if he had no interest in becoming friends with William.
In fact, William knew nothing about Kreacher's injury until he happened to meet Kreacher today.
This was mainly because Lydia deliberately kept it from him. After all, with William's personality, once he learned that Kreacher was injured, he would most likely ignore his own injuries and come to visit Kreacher in person, even if he had to jump over step by step on one leg.
However, Kreacher was a wounded soldier after all and needed to rest.
William himself is also injured, and the degree of his bone healing will directly affect his future career!
So Lydia asked everyone to keep this matter a secret from William, and today, it just happened that William's plaster could be removed, and Kreacher happened to come to Lydia for a follow-up examination, so the two of them met.
After listening to Kreacher's explanation, William's thinking was as quick as lightning, and his insight made him realize a key problem in an instant.
"So, in that case, did that man named Efron Weisz hit you with a stick from behind? Was it because he suddenly had a mental breakdown and was beating people in the street, or was it because you were wearing Servi's coat?" William's question was like a sharp sword, piercing the core of the problem.
In fact, Kreacher himself had doubts about this, so he decided to consult the sheriff, hoping to get some clues from professionals.
However, when Kreacher and the sheriff arrived at the cell where Efron Weisz was held, Kreacher was stunned.
Efron Weisz was seen curled up in the corner of the cell with lifeless eyes, like a body with its soul taken away. He seemed to have lost his reaction to everything in the outside world, as if he was completely immersed in his own world.
"But he looks like this, it seems impossible to ask him..." the sheriff muttered to himself, with a trace of helplessness on his face.
Of course the sheriff knew what had happened, but he did not comment on it, just like how he felt when he thought his wife and children were dead in the accident.
He could fully understand Miss Lydia's anger over the injury to her family, and her act of revenge. He understood it and acquiesced to it.
.................................................. ........................
But of course, Kreacher knew nothing about the above. He just felt that he would not be able to get anything out of this.
Before leaving, Kreacher hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to ask the sheriff: "How will the law judge for such behavior as his?"
Although Kreacher was not clear about what Lydia and Jose Bardem had done for him, he knew everything about what Efron Weisz had done.
Kreacher's heart was filled with regret when he thought that Efron Weisz had locked his entire family in a water tank and watched them drown.
However, despite this, Kreacher felt that he was not qualified to blame Efron Weisz.
After all, at the time of all this, Efron Weisz was unable to tell the difference between his family and strangers because of the piece of metal stuck in his head.
In his eyes, these people were just a group of strangers who suddenly broke into his home.
However, it is precisely because of this special situation that the determination of Efron Weisz's guilt becomes extremely difficult and complicated.
After all, he committed this extremely serious crime completely unconsciously.
Nevertheless, after a long and careful trial process, the court finally sentenced him to life imprisonment.
This means that unless someone is willing to pay his high bail, he will spend the rest of his life in prison.
However, it is regrettable that all his family members have passed away and there is no one who can provide him with such a huge amount of bail.
Therefore, Efron Weisz seems destined to spend the rest of his life in prison.
What's worse is that, judging from his behavior, he seems to prefer to die directly rather than continue to linger in prison.
After all, if he killed his family with his own hands while unconsciously, what kind of unbearable psychological pressure and pain would he face when he woke up afterwards?
It is conceivable that when he gazed at the bodies of his relatives soaked in the water tank, he would be devastated and desperate. This scene would undoubtedly reappear in his mind, causing him to fall into endless self-blame and regret.
So this is why the sheriff put a straitjacket originally intended for mentally ill patients on Efron Weisz.
After all, if he was not careful, this kid would pounce on his prey like a hungry tiger and grab any tool around him in an attempt to end his own life.
The last time, he actually hit the corner of the table with his head. The impact was so strong that it seemed to break the entire table.
The last time before that, he made a shocking attempt to hang himself by tying a torn mattress to the bars of the cell.
However, regrettably, every one of his attempts ended in failure.
What’s even more coincidental is that every time his suicide attempt was discovered, Miss Lydia would come in person like an angel and use her miraculous medical skills to save him from the brink of death.
No one cared about the desperate roar he made every time he woke up. The sound seemed to come from hell, full of pain and despair.
However, people were indifferent to this. They just looked at him coldly, thinking: "This kid is so lucky!"
Compared to other prisoners, his situation was indeed much better. He was kept alone in a cell, away from the noise and disputes of other prisoners.
And whenever he tried to harm himself, doctors would rush to treat him.
You know, prisoners are one of the least valued groups. No matter what happens to them in prison, the prison will not easily spend a penny to treat them.
However, he seemed not satisfied with such a life. He did not have to work as hard as other prisoners, but just stayed in the cell every day and did nothing.
This seemingly easy life is simply a luxurious special treatment in the eyes of other prisoners.
But what exactly is he dissatisfied with? Perhaps only he knows.
It was precisely because he committed so many acts of self-harm that the police put him in a restraint suit used to restrain mentally ill patients.
Resources were not meant for him to waste like this. Although Count Jose Badem had made arrangements in advance, it was no reason for him to squander them at will.
.................................................. ........................
But of course, Kreacher naturally didn't know all of this behind the scenes. He just felt that
"It seems there is no way to ask him."
Kreacher could only think that he was unlucky. Getting injured was a common occurrence for him anyway. But what was different from before was that at least this time someone was willing to care about him.
