10. Goldfish in London 10
Anderson rolled his eyes: "Please, do you really think my IQ is lowering the streets of London?" Of course I knew it couldn't be a bottle of champagne, and didn't you understand what I was saying? I'd like to say that it's not the blood of Sherlock Consulting Detective Sherlock Holmes. He watched as the others ignored him and muttered, "You mortals with no sense of humor." Then he raised his voice and said, "How did the parcel for Sherlock Holmes get to Scotland Yard?" ”
Donovan was also puzzled: "Why is it on my desk?" "The blood in the package is still seeping out, which makes people shudder inexplicably.
Sherlock was teaching, or in his words, training Erin to distinguish the types of perfumes when he received the call from Lestrade, and he had recently stopped putting nicotine tablets to relieve his cravings, and his research on soot was over - he was able to distinguish 243 types of soot according to his deductive method website - and turned to perfume, and it seems that a research paper on modern perfumes will be updated on the deductive method website soon.
Before the test, the consulting detective also said, "Since you are not trained in smell, I don't expect you to be able to tell the whole story." ”
Erin sighed, "Thank you for your encouragement?" ”
Sherlock pursed his lips, and then watched as Erin came out with 32 perfume scents. Erin blinked her black and white eyes at the consulting detective, and Mr. Detective moved his lips and squeezed out a dry sentence: "As a novice, are you qualified, are you satisfied?" ”
"I'm just complimenting you on what I've done a great job, and it's amazing how good you expected." Erin has a special skill in interpreting Sherlock's words, and she also has the advantage of praising people for not blushing and not beating their hearts, getting a light snort from Sherlock, and a chic back. He didn't wear his shirt today, which was also called purple, but changed into an off-white shirt, black suit pants, as slim as always, slim to the point that it perfectly outlined the smooth muscle lines, and if the shirt was a little thinner, the buttons would burst.
It's a pity that no one appreciates such a beautiful scenery, Irene lowered her head and sorted out the perfume test strips, and said casually: "Sherlock, do you know that in China, there are no less than twenty vinegars I can count for vinegar alone?" "So don't underestimate the smell of the big foodie country, maybe you have to add the sense of taste.
Sherlock snorted again, just as Inspector Lestrade's call came in, Sherlock glanced at it, and barely answered after the phone rang again: "Sherlock Holmes." ”
"Come and take a look." ”
"Scotland Yard, I don't like Scotland Yard."
"Haven't you been here before? Hurry up or we'll throw that package in the trash! "When they didn't know Sherlock that well before, Sherlock was not less than a suspect and sent to Scotland Yard because he was a suspect or something.
"You won't." Sherlock said firmly, and Lestrade suddenly felt that his stomach was about to start to grow heavy again, and before it began to protest, he said decisively: "I'll talk to the downstairs." ”
"No, I have a pass."
Hearing this, Inspector Lestrade reflexively went to his police officer's card, which was not as expected...... It's gone! How many times this year? Lestrade took a deep breath and held back the talker, but all he could hear now was busy.
Lestrade: "......"
The consulting detective on the other side cheered, stood up and cleared his throat, and after attracting Erin's attention, he said in a very normal tone, "I have a job now, you can come with me as my assistant." ”
Erin's eyes lit up, "My pleasure, sir." ”
The two of them were ready to go, Sherlock was still him, suit pants + shirt, and a long coat on the outside, wrapped around the blue scarf. Erin wore a gray knit sweater and blue skinny jeans, and put on a short black biker jacket because she was going out, and when she got downstairs, she remembered that her motorcycle didn't come with her to London, and Sherlock had already habitually beckoned: "Taxi!" ”
Taxis are readily available.
Sherlock shouted impatiently to Erin, who was still a little "unaccustomed to the soil", "Keep up." However, after getting into the taxi, he said coldly: "Considering the climate and traffic conditions in London, I don't recommend that you buy a motorcycle and come back." ”
When Erin heard the sound, he turned his head out the window again, as if he was immersed in his own thinking world.
Erin automatically translated Sherlock's behavior in her mind, she had a first understanding of the weather in London in the past week, worthy of the "fog capital", and there were three rains in seven days, and sometimes wind, which reduced the usefulness of the motorcycle and increased the danger. So consulting the detective is a kind reminder, but I have to say that he is really good at expressing kindness into a donkey's liver and lungs.
Erin kindly cooperated with him, and said with a smile in her eyes, "Oh." Then she turned her head to her window, and unsurprisingly saw Sherlock quietly looking at the glass, and she couldn't help but laugh.
Sherlock's face darkened suddenly, and then ...... I didn't talk to Erin along the way.
Scotland Yard
Because Sherlock was coming, Anderson stayed in the office area here, and when he saw Sherlock walking over, he couldn't wait to laugh: "Oh, so you're really alive?" We thought you'd get your obituary today. ”
"Your wife moved back?"
Sherlock didn't take Anderson's ridicule at ease, and made Anderson shut up with a light sentence, and said as hard as ever: "Someone must be suing you!" ”
"If I say it, I will think that it is because your clothes have been intimately burned, and probably your wife still wants to reconcile with you."
"No, it's his wife who wants more alimony from him."
"Huh? Where does this come from? ”
"If you look a little closer, you can see that they hugged before going out, but they didn't kiss, or Anderson wanted to kiss, but his wife refused, which is not the kind of wife who wants to be reconciled. And, of course, one more thing—"
"Shut up! Where the hell did you come from? Annoyed, Anderson interrupted the two of them and turned the finger at Erin, who was poking her head out from behind Sherlock.
Sherlock quickly finished his unfinished rendition, "His wife has a boyfriend who is a gym teacher, and it seems that you are even." After saying that, he blinked, and he looked as innocent as he wanted. Can I go now? What about Lestrade? As he spoke, he walked in one direction.
"I don't see it." Erin looked at Anderson again as if no one was around, then reached up and pulled Sherlock's sleeve.
"Normal." Sherlock's tone was marked with obvious legitimacy, and he glanced at Erin's hand that was holding his sleeve, uncomfortable with her little gesture that seemed too intimate—at least for Sherlock—and he was about to signal Erin to let go of her hand, when the owner of the hand naturally moved her hand away, and she looked thoughtful.
Sherlock took advantage of the situation and put his hand in his coat pocket.
Just then, Inspector Lestrade saw them and beckoned, "Sherlock, this way!" He also saw Erin, who at first glance felt familiar, and after thinking about it, he remembered who she was, "Erin, right?" You are an eyewitness in the case of Jack the Ripper. But how did you come together? "The two of them look different, no, there is no one in the world who has the same style as Sherlock!
Sherlock ignored this goldfish-like greeting as always, Erin was still thinking, and couldn't help but react slowly, but it was Anderson, who quickly resurrected with full blood, who answered Lestrade, and he said faintly: "Boss, what is there to doubt about this, the two of them obviously have a leg!" So, we can't call Sherlock Holmes an older virgin in the future, what a pity! ”
"I'm Sherlock's assistant, Inspector Lestrade." Erin's sentence coincided with Anderson's last sentence, but compared to Erin's serious introduction, Anderson's words were more attractive, or it could be said to be more gossipy, Inspector Lestrade inevitably looked at Sherlock, and then looked at Erin, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the impatient Sherlock: "Forget this nonsense, let's get straight to the point, okay?" ”
Although a euphemistic "okay" was added at the end, it was obviously combined with his impatient look and undulating tone, which once again achieved the effect of "making people's blood pressure rise".
Lestrade felt that he had been very prescient in swallowing two tablets and stomach tablets before Sherlock came over. He didn't bother to talk nonsense, so he led Sherlock to see the package, and there were already some people around Donovan's place, all staring at Sherlock's every move with burning eyes.
It's just that seeing Erin, who is also following Sherlock, there is a little more gossip factor in their strict preparation, and they blatantly exchange glances, but unfortunately the two parties didn't notice it at all. Sherlock's attention was on the package that oozed a circle of blood, and he didn't know when there was an extra pair of rubber gloves on his hand, and he fearlessly ripped open the bow on the package and opened the gift box.
Lestrade, who was relatively close, subconsciously leaned back after seeing the contents of the gift box clearly, and asked tentatively: "That's a... The human heart? "This time he ate and stomach tablets really came in handy.
