London

A crime scene

Inspector Lestrade of the Scotland Yard Crime Unit has been busy with a serial murder case recently, and the order has been issued to solve the case as much as possible, which has put a lot of pressure on the Crime Squad.

Inspector Lestrade looked at the flashes of cameras outside the cordon, and couldn't help but groan: "For God's sake, can't these media stop a little?" "If it weren't for their hype, letting the outside world know that this serial murder case was a murderer imitating "Jack the Ripper", it wouldn't have caused so much panic and pressure on Scotland Yard.

Yes, Jack the Ripper, that Jack the Ripper, there can be a few more Jack the Rippers in London!

And this time the murderer is really imitating Jack the Ripper: all the victims' throats are cut, the internal organs are removed, and the murderer also sends a letter to Scotland Yard, using "DearBoss" at the beginning of the letter, which is exactly the same as the characteristics of Jack the Ripper, except that this time the victims are all male.

Now that the body of the fourth victim has been found, Inspector Lestrade wiped his forehead, and in order to solve the case as much as possible, there is only one way to solve the case.

"Sherlock, yes, the fourth victim. I'll send someone to pick you up, what? You don't like to ride in a police car? Fine, then I'll give you the address, you can come over quickly. ”

Inspector Lestrade ended the call, and as soon as he turned around, he met the faint gaze of the medical examiner Anderson, and he was startled: "WTH! ”

Anderson rolled his eyes unscrupulously: "You called the freak?" ”

Inspector Lestrade said expressionlessly, "Oh. ”

Anderson: "...... Boss, your aunt-in-law is here? I've been very irritable lately. ”

Inspector Lestrade didn't want to sew Anderson's shitty mouth shut for a moment, and he squeezed a phrase out between his teeth: "Shut up and do your job." What about Donovan? ”

"I'm taking notes for witnesses, it's a pretty Asian, I've heard that Asians have special English skills, and I hope Donovan won't ask "Do you speak English?" ”。” Anderson laughed at Lestrade and went to work.

But the kind of situation he was talking about didn't come up, and the eyewitness, a young woman with a neat ponytail, spoke fluent American English. However, halfway through the transcription, Donovan received a phone call and the transcription was suspended.

After about fifteen minutes, the cordon was pulled up, and a tall, lanky man broke in. The coat he was wearing rolled dramatically as he walked. He seemed to be in high spirits, his curly hair seemed to be beating with the excitement of his master, and he had a very special color of his eyes, which became translucent against the flickering lights around him, and infused them with the most unpredictable colors.

It was Donovan who brought him in, as always.

Donovan was still holding a police communicator, and he said in front of the tall and lanky man, "The freak is here, and I'm bringing him in." ”

Anderson dropped his job and greeted him, and when he came up, he mocked: "Look who this is, London's famous vagrant, oh, I'm wrong, it's Sherlock Holmes!" And this is a crime scene, don't pollute it, you understand? ”

Sherlock Holmes didn't care about Anderson's taunt at all, "I understand very well, and your wife hasn't been home for a long time?" ”

Anderson said expressionlessly, "Oh. ”

Sherlock was choked, but he wouldn't be comfortable with the reasoning, so he ignored Anderson's uncooperation and said, "Your deodorant sue me, the same as Donovan's, and by the way she wiped the floor for you, which can be seen from her knees." Oh, maybe it's just that she used to talk to you and then dropped by for the night. ”

Anderson opened his mouth and was about to say something, when Inspector Lestrade came over: "Sherlock, you have two minutes!" ”

Sherlock squeezed out a Sherlock-esque smirk at Anderson and Donovan, the folds on his face were very reserved, "Can I go over now?" His gaze skipped over the Asian woman standing in a group of officers in protective suits, who looked obvious because they weren't wearing protective suits, and for some reason, he glanced at them again.

"Sherlock?" Lestrade called out to him urgently, and Sherlock refused to wear a hazmat suit, putting on only rubber gloves to focus on the newly discovered corpse.

Sherlock stared at the corpse for five seconds before suddenly speaking, "Shut up!" ”

Apparently no one spoke at the scene, only Sherlock, who had heard such an unreasonable order, explained: "You are thinking, interfering with me. ”

This sentence was exchanged for a roll of the eyes of the people around him.

After saying this, the party casually lifted the hem of his coat, squatted down, stared at the corpse on the ground with the eyes of a big cat staring at its prey, and took out a retractable magnifying glass from his coat pocket and took a picture on the victim's severed earlobe.

It's not easy to describe, but it's very peculiar anyway.

It took less than half a minute for him to get back on his feet.

Lestrade couldn't wait to ask, "What did you find?" ”

The corners of Sherlock's mouth were raised, but he still said "modestly": "It's not too much, the murderer will commit the crime again before tonight." After saying that, he stopped talking, took off the rubber gloves in his hands, took out his mobile phone from his coat pocket, and waved his bony fingers and pressed on it.

"You're just talking nonsense!" Anderson couldn't help but speak, "The first three victims were all once every two days, how could there be an exception this time?" ”

Because the killer followed Jack the Ripper's example, in a letter, Jack the Ripper promised to cut off the earlobe of one of the victims. He did, he killed two people that day, that's why he said the killer would commit the crime again before tonight. ”

An unfamiliar voice interjected and explained, and as she finished, everyone else couldn't help but look at her, even Sherlock, who was looking at his phone. He squinted his eyes and stared at her tightly, "Ha, there's finally a person with an IQ above average, are you?" ”

"Lynn Ai, you can call me Irene, I'm an eyewitness."

"Sherlock Holmes, Nicetomeetyou." Sherlock's unusually bright eyes gave the new stranger a quick full-body scan, as well as a courtesy greeting.

As everyone knows, the jaw of the people in Scotland Yard is about to drop, when did the freak know so much about social etiquette, and his normal social etiquette please refer to the "Sherlock etiquette" when greeting Anderson before. But when they realized that the Asian witness was a young, tall, beautiful woman, they thought it was understandable, probably.

"Miss Ai, what do you think?" Sherlock asked Erin, "You didn't look away from the corpse when you saw it, and you didn't feel any discomfort, it's obviously not the first time you've seen a corpse, or that you've become accustomed to seeing a corpse." Look at your hand again—" Sherlock's otherwise quick words suddenly froze when he saw Erin's hand, and he paused to return his gaze to Erin's face again, "Apparently you have a range of medical knowledge that is enough to look at this corpse." ”

Lestrade frowned, "Sherlock, she's just an eyewitness, and we have a team of professionals. I'll stop by all odds to get you here—"

Sherlock interrupted Inspector Lestrade and said, "Yes, because you need me." ”

It was a very good and powerful reason, and Lestrade was defeated, and Erin was given a suit of hazmat and a pair of rubber gloves.

Erin blinked: "Although you decided unilaterally and didn't ask for my opinion, for the sake of his fun, I am willing to cooperate." ”

Anderson was about to roll his eyes and let the witness get cheap and behave, so he keenly grasped the point: "Who? Who are you talking about interesting? ”

"Him, Mr. Holmes." Erin replied as a matter of course, and Anderson exaggerated his mouth to fit an egg: "O... M… G！ Are you sure you're not calling him "weird", "weird", "underwhelming"? ”

"Why? Because he pierced you and Officer Donovan as soon as he came up? Erin snorted Sherlock, and then said to Anderson very sincerely, "And I want to say that I can smell the same deodorant on both of you, but I wouldn't be able to conclude that you had a "night talk" like Mr. Holmes did, isn't that interesting?" ”

Anderson: "......"

For a moment, Anderson was speechless.

When Erin came over, Sherlock suddenly said, "Deductive." ”

Erin was stunned for a moment, but then understood a little: "You mean you came to the conclusion that there is a leg between Mr. Medical Examiner and Miss Police?" Is this something that can be learned? Her eyes sparkled, and she was clearly very interested in the deduction Sherlock had said.

"I created my own, and I have a website on the Internet about deductive studies, which you can check out. Of course, I can't expect you to understand it, let alone learn it as a result. Sherlock quickly lowered the corners of his mouth and instructed Erin to look at the victim, "Now, look at this corpse." ”

"Hmm, has anyone complimented you on how well you can pronounce words despite your fast speech?" Erin said slowly, crouching down to examine the body, the same crouch in the background, her hands in a tower to cover the corners of her mouth, and a group of Scotland Yard squads with "what the hell" on their faces.

That's an interesting start, isn't it?
