2. Goldfish in London 02
"What do you see?"
"The victim's four layers of adipose tissue were cut open like a cake, and he was dissected; There is no sign of resistance, indicating that the victim was dead when the killer did so; There are no wounds under hesitation or panic, each wound is orderly, then the murderer should be medically trained; It is not surprising that the victim's kidney was removed, and Jack the Ripper also took the kidney from the victim. Speaking of which, did you know that in the story of "Snow White", the queen wants to take Snow White's lungs and liver? Erin didn't wait for anyone to answer, she looked up to see a group of Scottish Yard officers with "=mouth=" expressions.
Erin blinked, "Don't you know? ”
The policemen led by Lestrade: "The point of ......" is not this, okay?
"I wouldn't store this kind of inconsequential knowledge, even if I knew it before but I deleted it." Sherlock blinked as he spoke, and stood up.
Inspector Lestrade struggled to pull himself up: "Sherlock has been two minutes, what have you discovered?" ”
"The victim was about twenty-seven years old, and his body was a laborer, which can be judged by the calluses on his palms and the rough skin. He had a girlfriend who broke up not long ago, and it was clear that his friends had dragged him to the bar for another one-night stand. In fact, he succeeded, and he met a woman, and they couldn't wait to find a motel and came to this alley. Then what our victim didn't expect was that he didn't play a one-night stand, but lost his life. Oh, and also lost a kidney. Sherlock finished speaking categorically, exuding a confident and proud momentum.
"For God's sake—"
Before Inspector Lestrade had finished his questioning words as always, a voice quickly interjected, "The murderer is a woman, and that makes sense." I learned from Officer Donovan that the first three victims were all in groups, gathering in bars to drink and hunt for sex, and one of them was running a bachelor party, so let's assume that they were all straight men, well, that's important. She nodded solemnly, and at the same time as the black line of the group of people around her, they all understood, you must know that this is a corrupt country, and I am corrupt and proud of Great Britain!" Let a straight man leave his friends, and there will only be women. ”
Sherlock praised heartily, "For God's sake, there is finally a person around me who thinks with his brain!" ”
Erin turned her head to look at the man with curly hair like wool and asked tentatively, "I want to know, is this a compliment to me?" ”
"Of course!" Sherlock nodded in condescension.
"Then you really have a special skill to praise people." Erin also replied politely.
The Scotland Yard squad who watched their comings and goings: "......"
Anderson, who has always been fast-talking, said quietly: "Boss, I think our knees have been shot into a beecomb, and I feel sorry for our knees." ”
Officer Donovan, who had just been named by Irene, subconsciously glanced down at her knee that had been named by Sherlock, and suddenly wanted to be quiet.
The other team members nodded silently.
Feeling exhausted, he took a deep breath and struggled to get up: "Okay, the murderer is a woman, but do you want me to write in the closing report: We got such a crucial clue based on the logical and non-logical reasoning of the "zealous citizens"? Yes, Sherlock, I'm talking about you, this is Scotland Yard, and we don't do "psychicing". ”
- The Scotland Yard team led by Inspector Lestrade has been with Sherlock Holmes, a consulting detective with full skills in group ridicule, and will not always be passive under group ridicule. I have to say, that's really ...... Congratulations.
However, the road is one foot taller and the devil is one foot higher, and Sherlock naturally asked, "Isn't that what you've been doing all along?" This is not the first time that the consulting detective and the team led by Lestrade have worked together, they have both been "working together" for several years.
Lestrade: "......" He said so well that I was speechless.
At this time, Sherlock's mobile phone rang with the sound of text messages, and he took it out and looked at it: "Good, Jasmine has prepared the bodies of the first three victims for me, I have an idea, I have to go over and verify it." ”
Lestrade squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "I can ask-" Before he could finish his sentence, the consulting detective had already left in a hurry, and the slim coat rolled out of a very imposing arc as always.
Lestrade inhaled and inhaled, he still couldn't hold back, turned his back and cursed "Fuck Sherlock", and then turned his head to meet a pair of black and white eyes, Lestrade: "......" Under the gaze of such a pair of eyes, the good detective felt really embarrassed inexplicably, "You-"
"Um, I'm trying to say that I may have seen a suspect, and if you need to, I can draw you a sketch." The young Asian woman showed a pure smile, and when she saw that the detective did not react, she silently added as if she thought of something: "This is a reasonable and legal way for enthusiastic citizens to provide clues to solve the case, right?" ”
Lestrade: "...... Well. "My heart is a little tired.
……
Sherlock, who rushed to Buzz Hospital from the scene of the crime, made a rare call to inform Lestrade after verifying his idea, and as soon as the inspector answered the phone, Sherlock's "cannon words" came to his face: "God, this time Scotland Yard once again proves that you are definitely the one who has lowered the entire IQ of London." Didn't you notice the seals on the backs of the hands of the three victims? Of course, you didn't notice that it was the entrance stamp of a bar, but the seal on the back of the victim's hand was the entrance stamp of the bar before it changed its name five years ago. It was with this seal that our murderer found the victim, which obviously shows that the bar five years ago had a special meaning for the murderer. ”
Lestrade finally waited for Sherlock to stop and catch his breath, and he quickly said, "Sherlock, we've caught the murderer." ”
Sherlock: "......"
"Yes, you heard her right, we got her!" Inspector Lestrade automatically dismissed Sherlock's silence as shock, and inexplicably had a refreshing feeling of "turning over a serf and singing", which prompted him to continue, "Chrissy Thomas, she is being interrogated, and it seems that she is not far from confessing. ”
Sherlock: "......"
Lestrade: "......"
Lestrade conceded defeat, as always, and he told the truth: "It's because of Lynn Ai, the name is so awkward, it's Erin, she saw the suspect, and we found the suspect based on her sketch and portrait." ”
This time it was no longer Sherlock's silence that answered the detective, but a "toot-" Apparently, Sherlock ended the call.
Lestrade: "...... Good bye. ”
……
Erin came out of Scotland Yard and looked a bit of a stroll down the road when a taxi pulled up next to her.
"Can you have a cup of coffee with me, Miss Ai?" The taxi guest got out of the car, stood next to the car, and showed a pure smile to Erin, well, the kind of smile that seemed to be very easy for him to get along with, and at the same time a little handsome, plus his beautiful eyes flashed with anticipation, which people, especially women, could not bear to refuse.
All in all, consulting detectives now is like inviting a girl on a romantic date, even though he's in a taxi.
The girl he invited showed a happy expression, and accompanied a bright and unadulterated smile: "Can you go directly to dinner?" I am hungry. ”
The Sherlock-like smile on Mr. Detective's face was rarely withdrawn in an instant: "Of course." ”
They arrived at a restaurant on Northumberstreet Street and felt a wave of heat hit them as soon as they entered. Sherlock was very gentlemanly and gave Erin a place, and he took off his coat himself, revealing the same slim suit inside, and a purple shirt, which fit his chest and abdomen well, and some traces of muscles could be faintly seen. Obviously, the consulting detective is the type who looks thin in clothes and has flesh in his clothes.
Because it was very warm in the restaurant, Erin also took off the red coat she was wearing outside, she wore a white shirt inside, and her slender legs were wrapped in old dark blue jeans, which made her more heroic.
Sherlock glanced at her again, his brows were almost wrinkled, and at this moment the owner of the restaurant came over, he smiled and sent a candle to create a romantic atmosphere, glanced at Erin ambiguously, and shook Sherlock's hand: "No wonder Sherlock specially called me to close late, it turned out that there was a date." ”
The boss was eager to help Sherlock, so he turned to Erin and said, "This man has cleared my name of murder." ”
"This is Angelo, and two years ago I proved to Lestrade that Angelo was burglarizing at the other end of the city when an extremely brutal triple murder occurred." Sherlock said bluntly, and Erin said thoughtfully, "This is indeed an alibi that is valid both in time and place. ”
Angelo saw that he had a score, so he continued to say good things for Sherlock: "Thanks to Sherlock, otherwise I would have to go to jail." ”
"In fact, you ended up in jail." Sherlock obviously didn't appreciate Angelo's kindness, and Angelo was obviously used to it, and after bringing the menu over and letting them order, he left without a light bulb.
As soon as Angelo left, the smirk on Sherlock's face came to an end, and he stared at Erin who was looking down at the menu with his hands in a tower, and suddenly changed his eager and polite face, "I thought we needed to get to know each other formally, Sherlock Holmes." He said and held out his hand.
"Lynn Ai." Erin gave her name again and shook hands with Mr. Detective.
The atmosphere looked very beautiful from afar, and Angelo was very relieved, and thought to herself: the older virgin Sherlock Holmes has hope, and this is absolutely God forbid.
As everyone knows, the beautiful atmosphere suddenly changed in the next moment.
Sherlock was aggressive: "So, Miss Ai, you can kindly tell me, how did you enter the country illegally?" ”
