哦，我的朋友，在把我撕成碎片之前，再听我说一分钟。
他是个诚实的人，可是由于某种合理的原因，他变得如此疯狂。
但是，难道你们没有从他那冷酷、灰色的眼睛里看到一丝疯狂吗？他能干出任何事，真的是任何事，只要是与粉碎他所谓的‘十字架迷信’有关，他就会为之战斗终身。
如今，他已经为此去杀人。
布雷恩的万贯财产会因此分散到众多教派，如此一来，原有的格局就不会发生太大的变化，平衡也不会被打破。
但是，瓦伦丁听说布雷恩对宗教持怀疑态度，并且更倾向于支持我们。
如此一来，事情就不同了。
布雷恩就会资助穷困而好斗的法国教会，以及包括《断头台》在内的六家民族主义报纸。
此时箭已在弦上，这个狂热者不得不铤而走险。
于是，瓦伦丁决定干掉这个千万富翁，他真这样干了，正如人们所看到的，这么一个大侦探也能犯一次罪。
他利用犯罪学，合理地降罪于贝克尔，并砍下了他的脑袋，之后放在他的公文箱中带回了家。
直到最后，他还在和布雷恩辩论，而加洛韦勋爵并没有听完他们的谈话就离开了。
随后，瓦伦丁就把布雷恩领到这个密不透风的花园，讨论刀法，并用树枝和军刀来示范，然后……”
面带伤疤的伊万跳起来喊道：“你这个疯子！
你应该马上去见我的主人，不然我就……”
“怎么了？我正要过去呢，”
布朗郑重其事地说，“我必须让他去坦白交代所有一切。”
人们都跟在一脸严肃的布朗身后，就像挟着一个人质或是祭品。
大家涌到瓦伦丁的书房时，突然停了下来。
大侦探瓦伦丁坐在桌边，他显然太专注了，以至于没有听到门口的动静。
大家停了一会儿，西蒙医生发现在瓦伦丁笔直优雅的后背上有什么东西，便猛地跑过去碰了他一下。
人们看见在瓦伦丁的胳膊肘边有一个小药盒子，瓦伦丁死在了椅子上，而他那毫无表情的脸上还带着比加图还自豪的神情。
