11. Goldfish in London 11

Sherlock looked as usual, "What about sticky notes?" ”

Lestrade handed a letter to Sherlock, "It has been checked, and there are no fingerprints." ”

“Good.” Sherlock figured out the origin of the letter the moment he closed the envelope, paused and looked at Erin with a thirsty face, "So, there's still a lot to learn." By the way, is there one? ”

That one? Which one? Lestrade had a question mark on his face.

Erin understood what Sherlock meant, and she nodded, then shook her head again. Naturally, there are some ghosts floating in the police station, but the owner of this heart is not there.

"Well, that's the best, or things won't be interesting." Sherlock said unconcernedly, and he turned his attention back to the envelope, which did indeed have Sherlock's name written on it, "This gentleman wrote it with a ballpoint pen, Parker Elite Series Pen." ”

"Him?"

"Left-handed?"

The first sentence was asked by Lestrade, and the second sentence was said by Irene.

"Obviously." Sherlock's tone was slightly raised, but only slightly, and it was basically the same as his usual tone. He opened the envelope, and there was only a piece of paper inside, and Sherlock frowned subconsciously when he read the beginning, which read "DearBoss".

It is exactly the same as the beginning of the letter sent to the police station by Jack the Ripper, and the imitation murderer Chrissy Thomas, who was captured just a week ago, was sent to the police station before the crime.

Sherlock quickly finished reading the letter, and he handed it to Erin, causing Inspector Lestrade, who was about to take it, to dry his outstretched hand in the air.

Lestrade: "...... What do you see in the letter? ”

"Pretentious."

Lestrade: "? ”

Sherlock didn't intend to explain more, he turned his gaze to the package, and asked with confidence, "I need my real room." "He had a well-equipped room at Buzz Hospital, where he usually did all kinds of things that he couldn't do at 221B Baker Street.

"What! That's the evidence you can't take with you! Besides, Scotland Yard has its own-" Reistrade saw Shylock's "unrepentant" appearance, and knew that if he continued to fight him, he would eventually be tired and tired, and he gritted his teeth, "Fine, you can bring things to your real room, but you must have one of our people with you." ”

"Yes." Sherlock agreed so quickly that it made Detective Hao feel as if he had jumped into a pit again.

- Loyal Mr. Inspector, you have a choice, and that is not to have Sherlock dissect the heart, but to have Scotland Yard do it forensically.

Before Lestrade had time to think about it, Erin handed the letter over and said to him, "I'm afraid you won't be able to check your fingerprints on this letter, he must have been wearing rubber gloves when he wrote this letter, it should have been medical rubber gloves, am I right?" The last half of the sentence was said by looking at Sherlock, and Sherlock replied to her: "Obviously, there is also what you lack is self-confidence, as a detective, you have to have confidence in your own reasoning, and you have to be thorough: you have said one less, he wrote this letter after taking his heart out, and there is still a residual smell of blood on it." ”

After Sherlock had finished teaching Irene, he quickly packed the package and said to Erin, who was still leaning over to look at the letterhead, "What are you doing in a daze, keep up." ”

"Just come." When Erin was leaving, she didn't forget to smile politely at the already confused Inspector Lestrade, and the inspector couldn't help but look down at the very ordinary letter paper, trying to make himself "eyes like a torch", and a faint voice sounded: "Boss, I bet the color of your panties, there is definitely something wrong with the two of them!" ”

Lestrade: "...... Anderson, you get out of here and follow them! "Let Sherlock go to the mouth of Anderson!

The results of the heart autopsy came out quickly, there were no fingerprints and DNA of the murderer on the heart, the heart was cut off by the murderer with professional techniques three to four days ago, and according to the ** examination, the victim was still alive when the heart was removed. In addition, the age of the victim was reduced to twenty-five to thirty years old, female.

Lestrade immediately said to Donovan: "Go and check the records of those who have been reported missing in this area within five days." ”

"I'm afraid this is another parody of Jack the Ripper! The suspect begins the letter with the word "Dearboss", and he also mentions Chrissy Thomas in contemptuous terms, believing that Chrissy Thomas's case is an insult to Jack the Ripper. At the same time, he also claims to be a fan of Jack the Ripper, and I really don't understand how anyone worships a serial killer! ”

"Because he's smarter than most of you." As soon as Sherlock opened his mouth, he pulled up the hatred value, and Donovan said indignantly: "Because they are all mentally ill, just like someone!" ”

"I'm not mentally ill, I'm a high-functioning sociopath."

"Um, you coined a noun of your own? It's really a creative zào force. Erin didn't seem to get to the point, she had done research on Jack the Ripper's case, and she didn't dwell too much on this point to say what she thought, "Jack the Ripper is really smart, he is cautious, everything is carefully planned, he follows the victim for days before he even commits the crime, and he has not been caught by the police." Speaking of writing letters to the police, you know what? Also writing a letter to the police, but Sam's son, BTK, a serial killer who is as famous as Jack the Ripper, is caught in the end... Is it so? ”

The reason for the pause was because everyone else except Sherlock was staring at her with burning eyes. Erin blinked and silently added, "Um, Sam's Son and BTK are both American serial killers. ”

Scotland Yard Squad: "......" We don't know, we don't know anything.

It was still Anderson, and he said expressionlessly, "Oops, I've been shot in the knee again." ”

Scotland Yard Squad: "......" You just need to know it, so you don't have to say it.

Erin managed to stun the Scotland Yard squad and winked at Sherlock, who was looking at her, and Sherlock ...... He twisted his head away, and only later lowered his voice and said: "Why don't you say that both of them committed crimes in the eighties of the twentieth century, and BTK was arrested after thirty years. ”

Erin suppressed her smile, blinked her eyes to make herself look dazed and innocent, and said slowly, "Is that so?" Maybe I didn't think about it just now. ”

Sherlock snorted softly, but couldn't even lower the corners of his mouth.

Turning back to the case, Donovan quickly retrieved the files of the women who had been reported missing within five days, and there were three in total. Donovan printed out their files, and reluctantly gave them to Sherlock and Erin, who were about to see them when Anderson shouted, "I know who the victim is." Kate Evans, who had been arrested a year ago for public ♀ prostitution, was under the pseudonym Mary Kelly, and Mary Kelly was the last prostitute ♀ Jack the Ripper killed! Why do you think of me like that? Please, I've done my homework too, okay? ”

Lestrade: "Hmm. ”

Anderson: "......" He rolled his eyes and looked at Sherlock defiantly.

Sherlock looked at the files quickly, and after reading three files, he gave the answer: "No, no, maybe." The one that is defined as "maybe" is the same as the answer given by Anderson.

Lestrade immediately clapped: "Donovan, you go check her phone and financial records to see where she ended up?" ”

Anderson: "...... What do you mean, boss? I just said "um", and there are freaks who just look at it casually and say it, and you agree? Did you take the wrong medicine today? ”

Lestrade felt that he shouldn't take stomach pills, he should take sleeping pills!

Sherlock glanced at Anderson lightly, rolled his eyes and shook his head, meaning probably between "the IQ of the whole of London has been lowered by you" and "it has always been a goldfish and has never been surpassed", and he didn't forget to add the language crush: "Of course I didn't look at it casually, I-" He was just about to fire a series of cannons, aiming at Erin and clearing his throat, "I'll let Irene, my assistant explain it to you." ”

Erin cooperated very tacitly: "Okay, sir." She showed the two files that had been crossed out by Sherlock, "First of all, do you see the dark circles under her eyes?" This indicated that she was iron deficient, and a blood test of the victim's heart did not show any symptoms of anemia; As for this one, her actual age is twenty-eight, but her photos look like she is thirty-eight, the wrinkles on her face are smoking, and her heart is not as healthy as it was detected. So the only one who meets the criteria is Ms. Kate Evans. ”

Sherlock gave a reserved evaluation: "Although the observation is not comprehensive, but you can judge it, even if you are qualified." ”

Erin automatically translated this sentence as "You are doing well, very good", showing a bright smile, and saying to Sherlock very face: "Thank you for the encouragement, sir." ”

Sherlock paused, turning his head away.

The Scotland Yard team all had a look of "what a hell" on their faces, and Anderson, who was in charge of complaining, bravely carried the banner of complaining: "Is it really good for them to be like no one else?" ”

Of course it's not good! Gotta burn it!

And then...... Sherlock and Erin were kicked out of Scotland Yard. Now that the murdered suspect has been locked, then the next step is their Scotland Yard job, come on, it's not like they can't solve the case without Sherlock, okay? Although the efficiency is a little low, I often take detours, and sometimes I will be a little burnt...... But they still have a professional routine!

Erin looked back at the police badge in front of the gate of Scotland Yard and flattened her mouth: "So, are we being unloaded and killed donkeys?" ”

Sherlock put his phone back in his coat pocket, and his eyes flashed with a different look: "Not necessarily, let's go, I've already found out where Kate Evans was last seen." ”
