37. The Goldfish of London 36

Mrs. Hudson heard the footsteps coming from upstairs, quickly put down her mobile phone, walked out, and just said "you", her two tenants ran out like the wind, and with the sound of the door being closed and Sherlock said "Good night, Mrs. Hudson".

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you going on a date? Mrs. Hudson muttered the latter half of the sentence, and the landlady remembered Sherlock's excited tone, and shook her head back into the house, "It looks like there's a case, it's really not like that." ”

Erin didn't have time to wrap her scarf before she was pulled downstairs by Sherlock, at this time it was already dark in London, the night wind was blowing, she subconsciously put down the collar of her coat, but this time with Sherlock beckoning, the taxi was not called outside the Scotland field as before, but as many times before, the beckoning stopped.

After getting into the taxi, Erin was silent for a long time before she said in a subtle tone, "You guys are really... There is a special way to get along. ”

Sherlock gritted his teeth and replied: "It has nothing to do with the way we get along, that control madman just can't help it!" Believe me, what happened off the field in Scotland definitely made him sit on pins and needles all afternoon. ”

Erin imagined impotence, and turned her head to look at Sherlock, who was gloating in his tone: "Then do you know what you look like now?" ”

β€œWhatοΌŸβ€

Erin replied matter-of-factly: "If you get cheap, you will still sell well." ”

Sherlock's face suddenly darkened, and he glared at his girlfriend who turned his elbow out, and Comrade Xiao Ai showed him a pure smile: "Didn't you say that I would get Stockholm syndrome?" I'm proving you're right. ”

Sherlock: "...... I take it back. ”

"Good." Erin didn't say that she also retracted her previous words, Sherlock sulked for a while, and then turned her attention back to the triple murder case with "serendipity", "Whoever this more senior gentleman - oh, statistically he is more likely to be a man - who he should have paid close attention to what Mr. Sharp did, but only after Mr. Sharp killed two people in a row, it can be seen that he is more likely trying to manipulate Mr. Sharp, given that if Albert Hawke dies, Mr. Sharp would naturally inherit the Hawke family's legacy. ”

Erin's attention was also drawn to her, and she speculated, "He wants to take the inheritance of the Hawke family?" Or do you want to get revenge on Albert Hawke in this way? ”

"Perhaps, money, power, **, etc., can be the motive for killing. But now, his plans have been sabotaged by us, and I think that will drive him to show his feet, and people always make mistakes when they are caught off guard. Sherlock was obviously excited, and he said duplicitously, "Oh, of course, the premise of our saying so much is that this person is really a zΓ i, and maybe the gentleman who has been deeply involved in the drama has mastered a door in the years of pit abduction and abductionβ€”what kind of expression do you have?" ”

Erin blinked and said slowly, "Originally, there was the quickest way to prove it, but it involved an unnatural accident, so this method didn't work." "That Mr. Sharp, after falling to his death from the third-floor window, naturally had a ghost because he died in vain, but Albert Hawke and Philip Hawke, who were killed by him, were in a difficult ravine, and before his ghost could be formed, he swallowed it up. This morning she went out to find their father and son, and in addition to asking some questions, she purified them of what remained of their ferocity, lest they become evil spirits.

Although Sherlock didn't know exactly what was going on, he roughly deduced it, and couldn't help but glare at his girlfriend with hatred: "In my detective career, there has never been such a disgraceful incident as solving a crime through unnatural evidence. ”

"Oh." Erin stopped mentioning the unnatural ways involved when he said this, and lowered her head to pull out her phone and look up information about Albert Hawke on the Internet.

Sherlock glanced at her, thought about what he had just said, looked left and right, and said tentatively, "Notgood? ”

"Huh?" Erin looked up at him puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's okay, ignore me." Sherlock immersed himself in his world of thoughts, and soon they were at the apartment building of the family doctor, Alan Blaine, and the discarded cordon could still be seen outside the apartment building, but the cordon outside his apartment door was intact. The two of them ...... Then crossing the cordon sealed outside the door, Sherlock's leather gloved hand moved in his pocket, trying to find the tools to open the door, and a bunch of keys were handed over by a white hand, oh, of course the keys were in the evidence bag.

Sherlock took it and said in his usual firm tone, "I know you brought it." ”

Erin clearly knew that he was telling the truth: "You didn't. ”

Sherlock took the key out of the evidence bag and said with a special sense of reason: "I won't fight with you, we are at the scene of the follow-up of the crime now, and remember to bring a pair of gloves next time." ”

"Actually, we could report it to Inspector Lestrade, not like this... Sneaky. ”

"Time is urgent, there is no time to inform him, and he is not in charge of this case." Sherlock opened the door and let Erin in, apparently it was not the first time he had done this kind of visit to the scene after the crime, and then in Brian's apartment, he began to perform in his unique way, and soon he got up from the door, well, he had sniffed the door frame like a puppy, and handed Erin the phone that had taken the photo: "Now, you can add a little more evidence to the previous 'he let the robbers in'," Mr. Robber's also kicked the door to create a sign of robbery and murder, and if you look closely at the shoe prints, you will find almost imperceptible traces of blood, which apparently only after the attack could have left a bloody mark when kicking the door. If you're lucky, you can find leather shoes stained with Mr. Burn's blood in Mr. Sharp's shoe closet. ”

Erin took Sherlock's phone and looked at the photo carefully, she didn't smell it like Sherlock, but took a professional attitude, and made the 'almost imperceptible blood' react in his designated position to produce a luminol reaction, and then took the picture.

Sherlock raised his eyebrows and asked disapprovingly, "What are you doing?" ”

Erin handed Sherlock back her phone, "What do you think is the chance that if I show that picture you took to Inspector Lestrade, he could tell that it was actually a picture with almost imperceptible blood footprints?" ”

Sherlock almost immediately agreed with his girlfriend's approach: "Oh, oh, you've thought it through. ”

Inspector Lestrade, who was working overtime at Scotland Yard, suddenly sneezed, he rubbed his nose, and he didn't know why he had a bad premonition. The first thing that comes to mind is Sherlock, but in retrospect, he should be sticky with the girl he has a crush on, and he shouldn't be so low in EQ that he's still running around at this time... Right?

The reality is so cruel, Sherlock conducted a field survey in Alan Blaine's apartment, not only knowing six or seven percent of the family doctor's life, but also finding out what Alan Blaine held in his possession that Andy Sharp had not found before. Alan Blaine, who is a gambling horse and a family doctor as his secondary, obviously attaches great importance to the source of money that YiqiΔ“ supports his main career, and he certainly does not casually put it on the computer. Looking at the setting of his desk, his habits, it is not difficult to see that he will put this evidence in a place where he can touch it and can often read it, oh, plus a little concealment, it will not be difficult to find out. ”

With that, Sherlock opened Alan Blaine's doctor-patient notepad, which was hollowed out and placed a USB flash drive, and then he "snapped" the notebook shut, and then handed it to Erin, revealing a deliberately magnified smile: "Evidence three." But after waiting for a while, he didn't wait for his girlfriend's praise, twisted his eyebrows and looked over, just in front of Comrade Xiao Ai with a sly gaze: "Are you waiting for me to praise you?" ”

Sherlock choked and said, "... No. ”

Erin said she had seen through him: "Really? But I've got the words figured out. ”

Sherlock quickly changed his words: "No, it's okay, you say." ”

"Brilliant and brilliant." Irene couldn't help but laugh herself, Sherlock's face darkened, given that Erin had used to describe the word Mycroft, and he now knew the meaning of the word, on the hairline.

Sherlock continued his interpretation with a stinky face, "Our Mr. Taishen is not as smart as I thought at the beginning, as can be seen from the fact that he did it in a hurry before Mr. Equestrian Enthusiast even took out this USB flash drive. Oh, and of course, it can't be ruled out that Mr. Equestrian Enthusiast is too carried away and annoying. Vanity, selfishness, a desperate desire for nothing, insatiable greed," he said, putting his hand in his coat pocket, with the innate pride of Sherlock Holmes on his face, summed it up in the end, "Goldfish." ”

Erin heard the word "goldfish" from Sherlock again, and she suddenly thought of the "stupid mortal" that Aiye had once shouted in her ear, and thought that the two words were roughly equivalent. In addition, she thought of what McCroft had said about her, and she looked at Sherlock and moved her lips, while her boyfriend seemed to know what she wanted to ask, and quickly said, "You too, but you are the most special goldfish in my world." ”

Erin: "...... What do you think I should do to react to this? ”

Sherlock was stunned for a moment and gave an answer: "Kiss me?" ”

Erin ruthlessly denied: "Nope."

"Oh, oh, okay." Sherlock's eyes drifted, "Now it's time for evidence four, Mr. Family Doctor's computer." If Mr. Tai Shen took the computer away and didn't take it out of the apartment building, where would he choose to throw it away? When faced with an imminent danger situation, people often choose the most convenient way, and if they want to 'destroy the body', they usually choose the nearest barrel, closet or garbage dump. Before coming in, I had already observed the hardware of the entire apartment building, and I believe it is not difficult to find. As he spoke, he excitedly walked out the door, looking likely to lose his way through the garbage chute in the apartment building.

After Sherlock left, Erin turned to look at Alan Blaine, who had been circling the TV and repeating "The race is about to start, I want to watch the game, I will win this time", of course, in a ghost state, "So, Mr. Blaine, if you can answer my question, I think I can help you turn on the TV and tune into the channel you often watch with horse racing, what do you think?" ”
