The man on the other side of the road was too conspicuous, perhaps even he himself felt that he was too conspicuous, so he quickly pulled up the collar of his clothes and left.
Lance saw it in his eyes, and had a bottom in his heart, feeling that there might be trouble if things went on, so he did things simply, so he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lestrade.
Red turned his head, "Are we still going to use the past?"
He said yes or not to go to the jewelry store.
Lance thought for a moment and shook his head and refused, "It looks like there will be another move, we just showed up, and it will be in trouble if the snake hiding in the grass finds out." ”
Red: "...... I know it's a Chinese idiom. ”
"I know that too. Lance smiled dryly, "Buying the ring is postponed for the time being, and I'll cook you a delicious meal today." ”
Red shook his head when he heard this, "It's better to go to a restaurant than you do it, the Chinese food you cook is the same taste." ”
Lance smiled and didn't speak, isn't it, either instant noodle seasoning or thirteen spices, and the sky falls and adds a national goddess Lao Ganma, although it is not tired of eating, but there is nothing new.
"Then I'll send a text message to John, he seems to have a lot of research on Chinese restaurants. Lance paused, "Although I buy dumplings every time." "I don't understand Sherlock's dedication to dumplings, sometimes I go to them as a guest to see a box of dumplings, and Sherlock only eats one bite, but many times for lunch is to specify that he wants dumplings.
"How did you know there was a robbery?" Reistrade met with Lance and Red in private, the three of them sat facing each other in the café, Reistrade suddenly stretched out his right hand in the middle of the table as he spoke, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I need a reason." ”
"We know. Lance nodded, "We just saw a strange person in front of the jewelry store. ”
"Is he a suspect?" Lestrade snapped his eyebrows together, "or something else?"
Lance explained, "Generally speaking, for their own safety, robbers and the like are eager to transfer the stolen goods immediately after the robbery, even if they don't do so, they plan to hide it themselves, wait for the limelight to pass or something, and wait for the limelight to pass before they appear." ”
"So? Maybe the other party is too nervous, and we need to make sure it's safe. Lestrade took a sip of his coffee. Such examples are not unfounded. ”
"Because of the attitude. Lance blinked, "The attitude of the jewelry store owner is too different, he doesn't want the outside world to know about the theft of the jewelry or doesn't want to make a big deal about it, he wants to spend this period peacefully, and even he must have paid a lot to get the forgiveness of the original owner of the stolen jewelry to let the other party give up the jewelry, and the sneaky man I just saw in front of the jewelry store was not so much to pay attention to whether the police had evacuated people, whether the flow of people around the jewelry store was large, but to simply conduct a scene investigation." ”
“?”
"Maybe it's the same people, or maybe it's another group of people, the previous group obviously had an accident, they didn't get what they really wanted. ”
Lestrade put down his glass, crossed his hands and closed his eyes in thought.
Lance turned his head sideways, "Do you like matcha-flavored cakes?"
"Chocolate, thank you. Lestrade picked it up immediately.
Lance: "...... Sorry, order. ”
Red: "Ahem. ”
In the end, Lestrade followed Lance's advice, and squatted around the jewelry store with his subordinates for several nights in a row, and did not let down his guard during the day to let plainclothes police officers wander around, but there was no movement, which made several of Lestrade's subordinates complain.
Although he believed in the person recommended by the above, it was impossible for him to continue like this, and the days of the night vigil made everyone physically and mentally exhausted, so he had to cancel the plan.
However, the day after the plan was cancelled, news broke that the jewelry store had been stolen again.
This time, it wasn't the staff inside the jewelry store who called the police, but the workers who took to the streets at dawn to start cleaning.
I don't know what I lost this time, but this time the thieves were so rough that they didn't even enter the door of the jewelry store, and dug a hole in the side of the house with a diameter of one and a half meters.
Lance arrives at the scene with Rhett after receiving the call, and the two of them can't calm down after watching such a big hole with Lestrade for a long time.
"I know it's definitely not the same people as last time. Lestrade broke the silence first, "It's a mob!"
"What about surveillance?" Lance agreed with his head straight, and he had to say that he admired the person who came up with this method, bypassing the flashy external protection and plunging directly into the place like a sharp knife.
There was even a hole opened!
Speaking of which, where did the big piece of cement go?
"After investigating, the street and the neighborhood were monitored normally between 12 o'clock and 3 a.m. last night, and no large vehicles or machines appeared. Sally put on her white gloves as she walked, "There was no filling found nearby, Anderson's group was already halfway through. ”
"It's unlikely that this situation will leave fingerprints. Lestrade sighed softly, "And I don't know if they'll cooperate with the inspection this time." ”
Sally subconsciously clenched her teeth, "Mr. Gray from this store is rushing over." ”
"Have as many clues as possible before he refuses us. Lestrade commanded.
"Okay, boss. Sally nodded, then turned her gaze back to Red, "I don't know what the two of you have in mind this time." ”
Red bent over and carefully observed the large hole that had been broken, the cut was smooth and regular, and from a distance it looked like a beautiful circle, and even if he looked at it closely, he didn't see any sharp turns.
"A team of four or a team of five, medium to upper-average. Red said.
"These can be seen from the footprints left here. Sally smiled, "We want to know about the rest." ”
"They are not our enemies, Donna. "Go ask the guests who live nearby and see if anyone noticed what happened here last night." ”
Sally's face stiffened, and she pursed her lips and walked away.
Lance tilted his head to look at Red, and saw that he was still concentrating on the incision and didn't seem to hear what he had just said, "Spencer, three hours is enough to do a lot of things." ”
Rhett stood up straight, "This cutting technique is very advanced, and it is not difficult to cut in from the smoothness of the incision, a machine with a round incision. He said as he pushed forward, "Just push to the bottom." ”
Lestrade frowned, if that was the case, what about the banks and other storefronts at Scotland Yard?
"Don't worry too much. Lance could see that Lestrade was in a hurry, "If there really is such a tool, the cost should be very large, and he will only go to the secret vault or the bank or something." ”
"......" Sheriff's lips squirmed twice, but he didn't answer.
"Officer Donna said there was no problem with the surveillance and there were no suspicious scenes. Lance continued, "But such a large piece of filling doesn't disappear into thin air, and neither does the machine, let alone the perpetrator, so there are basically two possibilities." ”
Lestrade nodded slightly and motioned for Lance to continue.
"One possibility is that they actually got inside in another way. He stretched out his hand and knocked on the wall, "Take this piece from the inside, and then return from the secret companions, this piece of wall should have been hidden by them in a corner of the jewelry store." Another possibility is that, obviously, the monitors are passive, and there is a master hacker among them. ”
"Yes, but no matter how you look at it, taking this piece of wall is a provocation to the police, and it could be a deterrent to the jewelry store, since what they stole this time should be very important, and it is likely that the owner of the store wants to hide the secret." ”
While he was talking, a police officer trotted over at the entrance of the alley and said a few words in Lestrade's ear, but Lestrade raised his eyebrows and nodded, and the officer left again.
Without waiting for Lance to ask, the officer walked in again, only this time he was followed by two men.
"Hello. The last man took a sharp step forward as he approached, "I'm Raymond Evans, and this is my employer, Sean Gray, and the owner of this jewelry store, and you've already met." ”
Lestrade looked at Evans' outstretched hand, nodded unhurriedly but shook it too, "Yes, we've met." ”
Lance turned his face to look at the man slightly back.
"I'm Sean Gray, hello Sheriff. Gray's face was not very good, but he tried to keep his smile in front of the people and stretched out his hand.
Lestrade let go of Evans' hand and shook Gray in a different direction, quickly parting.
"Hello. Lestrade nodded, "I don't know if Mr. Grey can cooperate this time, given the theft methods that appeared in this case." ”
"Yes, absolutely. Gray's hand inadvertently rubbed the corner of his clothes, "If necessary, please solve the case as soon as possible, our store has suffered a lot of losses this time, I, a sapphire left by my grandmother was stolen, so I will try my best to cooperate." ”
Lance raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he looked like he had a big secret.
"Who are these two?" Gray looked at Lance and Red, "Sheriff, your subordinate?"
"It's not. "It's foreign help, they can help us." ”
"Oh, that's right!" Gray seemed to calm down, and his smile became natural. 166 Reading Network
