26. The Goldfish of London 25
"You pretended to be a police officer and broke into my house, and without substantial evidence, you indiscriminately accused my father of stealing tens of millions of pounds worth of thieves, causing my father to have a heart attack, you just wait for the Hawke family's lawyer team to send you a letter of indictment! And you, the real law enforcement officers of Scotland Yard, know the two murderers who killed my father! What a disappointment, are you worthy of us taxpayers? I'm sure the media will be glad to know about it! β
Inspector Lestrade felt the need to stabilize the indignant little Mr. Hawke, "Mr. Hawke, please calm downβ"
Before he finished speaking, he was robbed of the conversation: "Wonderful, it's a very wonderful story, believe me, the media will definitely like it." β
Lestrade yelled at the consulting detective who was adding fuel to the fire: "Sherlock! β
"You killed my father, and you have no repentance at all, I will kill you!" Little Mr. Hawke, Philip Hawke, with a sad and angry face, came at Sherlock with a fist waving at the cool talker.
As soon as the crowd saw a flower, Philip Hawke flew out and fell to the floor wailing.
"Just to be right," Sherlock quickly defined the accident, and before everyone could react, he glared at Erin, who was actually doing it, "You don't have to, based on his movements and speed, I can completely avoid it." β
Erin promised with a hint of concern: "Not next time, sir." β
"No, don't react so quickly next time, and then act when others really form an effective threat, so that you can better take the initiative." Sherlock corrects her.
"Got it, sir." Erin nodded her head to indicate that she had been taught.
Scotland Yard Squad: "......" we can hear you, be careful to prosecute you for intentional wounding!
"I'm going to call a lawyer!" Philip Hawke, who had really fallen miserably after being helped up by Lestrade, stared at Sherlock and Erin and said in an unkind tone.
"You should call a lawyer," Sherlock thrust his hand into his coat pocket, "double murder, what do you think?" β
The Scotland Yard team was all confused, Anderson, of course, Anderson was the fastest to react, and he said in a weird way: "Double murder? Could it be that you murdered Mr. Hawke Sr. and your hired girlfriend murdered Mr. Hawke's self-esteem? β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Lestrade glared fiercely at Anderson, who was still telling cold jokes at this time, and turned his gaze to Sherlock, "Sherlock? β
"You can stop your people from carrying body bags and pull up the cordon by the way." As soon as Sherlock's words fell, the two police officers who came in on a stretcher to load the corpse came upstairs, and when they heard this, they were neither advancing nor retreating, and the Scotland Yard team was still confused, so they watched Sherlock tear off the tablecloth from the coffee table, and took an iron artwork one by one, walked over to a painting on the wall of the study, smashed the glass framed on the outside of the painting with iron artwork through the tablecloth, and then took out a knife from his trouser pocket.
"Hell, what are you doing?" Philip Hawke yelled in dissatisfaction.
"Are you too deep into the play? Or is your heart weak? Erin lost a smile in her eyes and stared straight at Philip Hawke.
"What do you mean?" Philip Hawke's words really spoke to the hearts of a room full of people.
Erin said solemnly with a stiff face: "It's true that Albert Hawke had a heart attack, but his death had nothing to do with Sherlock, or should I say so, he was murdered. And, he did steal Van Gogh's "Holy Martyrdom". β
At this time, Shylock had already used his knife to pick open the painting he had smashed the framed glass, strictly speaking, the outer layer of the painting, revealing another painting inside, which was the stolen Van Gogh's "Holy Martyrdom".
Erin's words were not finished, "Now there is substantial evidence that he is a 'knight', and you, not only stole the life of the real Philip Hawke, but also killed Philip Hawke and Albert Hawke. That's why Sherlock said that it was a double murder, and now that the study we were in had become the scene of the crime, there was no need to pretend to be the body of the victim Albert Hawke for the time being. In the end, I wasn't hired by Sherlock. β
Comrade Xiao Ai's last sentence was said to Anderson, Anderson felt that he was really "flattered", and in fact, his inner complaints were about to break through the sky: Isn't the focus of your rebuttal on the "girlfriend" of the "hired girlfriend"?
is worthy of being the forensic doctor of Scotland Yard, and he grasped the point of gossip as soon as he came up.
Isn't the focus on this reversed plot? Obviously it was just a case of catching a thief, but as a result, first the suspect died of a heart attack, and the suspect's son detained the basin on Mr. Detective and Comrade Xiao Ai in grief, but now not only was he slapped in the face, but the two of them bluntly said that this son was not a real son, and then they were charged with double murder.
It's a godsend.
Philip Hawke, who was charged with a great crime in a blink of an eye, laughed angrily: "I won't forget to ask the lawyer to add a defamation charge!" β
The basin was buckled again.
However, Sherlock didn't care about this, he just glanced at Philip Hawke lightly, then shifted his gaze to Erin, and pursed his plump lips, "Um, why are you so angry?" β
Erin didn't react for a moment, "Huh? β
Sherlock seemed to realize that he had asked a stupid question, so he quickly denied it: "It's nothing, can his current posture be described as 'no tears without seeing the coffin'?" β
Erin nodded.
"Sherlock, Irene, I said can you two pay attention to the occasion, forget it, let's settle this mess in front of us first, okay?" There was an inconspicuous tendencies in Lestrade's words, and Philip Hawke obviously heard it, and he looked at Lestrade with dissatisfaction: "Mr. Inspector, are you going to listen to these two madmen now?" I think they're just talking nonsense, do you know why I'm saying that? When I returned to Hawke's house half a year ago, I did a paternity test with my father, just imagine that after the paternity test results came out, if I was not my father's biological son as they both said, why would I still stay at Hawke's house after half a year? β
But Lestrade asked, "What do you use for paternity tests?" Blood, or hair, or saliva? β
Philip Hawke wondered why Mr. Inspector asked, but he replied, "It was my father's family doctor who drew blood from my arm, what?" Now do you want me to show you the results of the paternity test? β
As soon as he heard that he was doing a paternity test with blood, Lestrade and Anderson, who had just been fooled by Sherlock early this morning, looked subtle.
Anderson, and Anderson couldn't help but ask, "Have you ever had leukemia?" β
Philip Hawke was at a loss: "What? β
Lestrade: "...... Putting that case up here? Anderson, is there any mistake? β
Anderson: "...... I'm really embarrassed to say it. β
The Scotland Yard team didn't know about this stalk, Donovan asked curiously what was going on, and Anderson simply told the case, and finally said cheaply: "It's terrible to have no common sense." β
In addition to him, Sherlock and Erin were all other people who knew from others: "......"
And as soon as this episode was interrupted, the atmosphere of the scene became subtle.
Philip Hawker paused and said, "I haven't had leukemia, let alone a bone marrow transplant, so the situation you're talking about can't happen to meβ"
"Oh, Anderson, it's rare that your IQ is not the lowest on this street," Philip Hawke didn't finish his words, Sherlock opened his mouth impatiently, and routinely blacked Anderson, who didn't get along well with him, "This gentleman who is very deep in the play, or Mr. with a weak heart, Whatever, maybe the acting skills are good, look at the grief and vexatious appearance after losing his father just now, at least most of the people present have been deceived by you, but it is obvious that biological genetics is not very good." If you learn well, you won't choose to come to Hawke's house to be cheated, it is clear that Albert Hawke has a rare dark green iris with a slight brown diamond-shaped spot, and this sexual characteristic is inherited by direct blood relatives, and look at this gentleman's-"
The Scotland Yard squad looked at Philip Hawke in unison...... The eyes are green eyes, nothing special. Well, though they hate to admit it, even if they are to look into Albert Hawke's eyes with the naked eye, they probably won't see that his iris is like what Sherlock described as 'dark green iris with a slight brown diamond spot'.
What's more, Albert Hawke was dead, lying on his desk, and they couldn't look at it.
"Click-" A crisp click broke the treacherous picture, and everyone looked at Anderson who made the sound...... 's mobile phone, he shrugged: "High-powered lens, you deserve it." Also, the freak said that my IQ was pulled down a street, and you really think that you belong to the group that has been pulled down? β
The Scotland Yard team suddenly didn't want to speak, so they wanted to look at Anderson quietly.
Sherlock, whose interpretation was interrupted, decisively ignored this passage and slowly picked up on his original words: "He obviously does not possess this characteristic, of course, at first I deduced that he was not born to Albert Hawke, but was born by Mrs. Hawke's cheating, but I quickly refuted this inference." Albert Hawke also has a photo of his son as a child, and it can be seen that the young Hawke clearly inherited this trait. Then what the facts are, it is obvious.
In addition, I am afraid that Albert Hawke has noticed something, looking at the photo frame on his desk, although the photo with his son who has been recognized for many years has not been removed, it is obvious that there is dust on it, on the contrary, the photo with his young son, the corner of the photo has been rubbed to fade, and the photo frame has been repeatedly opened, which shows that he has often taken out the photo of his young son and watched it again and again. I think this gentleman, who is not very good at biology but has good acting skills, must have been murderous when he noticed this. β
Philip Hawke is still calm, "It's ridiculous. Could it be that a few crazy words of yours, oh, maybe you have to add two photo frames, can you compare to the paternity test given by a professional agency? Inspector Lestrade, I think this farce is over, I can not sue them, and honestly, who would be as good as a psychopath. β
"I'm not mentally ill, I'm a high-functioning sociopath."
Sherlock is used to being called a psychopath, and there are many people in Scotland Yard who think so, and they have said it in front of him, of course, the Scotland Yard team is also used to Sherlock's own coined word, and Anderson, who can't control his mouth, echoed: "No, it's high enough to scare dead people alive." β
"Ho-" Albert Hawke, who had been theoretically dead on the table for half an hour, let out a "ho" and came back to life.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Scotland Yard Squad: "!! β
Philip Hawke: "!! β
Sherlock's pupils contracted suddenly, and soon he looked at Erin, who stared fixedly at Albert Hawke, who had come back from the dead, her eyes were black and white, but now the black parts were bottomless and boundless.
Albert Hawke snapped at Philip Hawke, "It's you! You killed me! Kill my Philip! β
Regardless of whether this Philip Hawke is the real Philip Hawke, it is true that he was almost scared to death, and he was so frightened that he retreated again and again, and lost his voice: "This is impossible!" I've been on your pulse to make sure you're out of breath! β
"Don't panic, don't panic, this is not without precedent in the history of medicine, there was once someone whose heart stopped beating for three minutes and then came back to life." Anderson said loudly, not knowing whether he was reassuring everyone or trying to convince himself, that by the way, his eyes were closed. "Isn't it that the heart has stopped beating for half an hour, and the corpse, no, the body has become stiff? Maybe there are corpse spots, hehe, there are no wonders in the world, maybe this time it's the end of the world-"
I've seen Anderson set up the flag once - the last time Anderson said that the suspect would be fooled by the phone, but the suspect was really fooled by the phone and died, and now Lestrade has seen it again, and he just strides over...... Covered Anderson's mouth.
"Uh-huh-" Anderson almost burst into tears of fright, and on the other side, it seemed that Albert Hawke's sudden resurrection had stimulated him, and the fake Philip Hawke yelled out of control, "Go away!" What if I just kill you? Who told you to be so simple and easy to deceive? It's not fair, why is it that you are also homeless, it's been so many years, but you suddenly remember that you still have a rich family, and you have a father who has been looking for you, and I can only have a father who is indiscriminate, it's not fair! β
"I'm going to kill you!" Albert Hawke's voice was so bad that he forced the fake Philip Hawke and tried to reach out and choke him, but the fake Philip Hawke was frightened and didn't know what to do, and he stepped back, and the two of them fell from the wide open window.
By the time the Scotland Yard team reacted and ran to the window to look down, the two people had already fallen from the third floor and fell on the stone road below, looking more than lucky.
In fact, both of them were saved and died on the spot.
Anderson didn't have a long memory and was about to open his mouth to say something, but he was targeted by Les Tridsonson, who was already exhausted by the ups and downs of the case, "Anderson, shut up and turn your face away!" β
Anderson: "......"
In the study on the third floor, Irene, who did not follow the Scotland Yard team, leaned against the window and looked down, and saw the ghost of the fake Philip Hawke being pounced on by the ghosts of the real Philip Hawke and Albert Hawke. After the ghost of the fake Philip Hawke disappeared completely, the ferocity of the ghost of the father and son gradually faded, and the father and son, who could not recognize each other before their death, but were finally reunited after death, hugged each other and cried.
The corners of Erin's mouth curled up unconsciously, and as soon as she turned around, she crashed into Sherlock's bright eyes with unpredictable colors.
But behind her is the windowsill, of course, with Comrade Xiao Ai's skills, she naturally won't fall, but Sherlock still can't help but reach out to grab her waist, so that Comrade Xiao Ai's hand pressed on Sherlock's chest, and when he looked up again, his soft lips inadvertently brushed Sherlock's chin.
The five senses of both of them are quite keen, and what happens between the lightning and flint is naturally faithfully conveyed to the brain center, but it is precisely because of this that the two of them stiffen at the moment, and they don't know how to react.
Anderson, who was disgusted by Lestrade downstairs and went to the side, rolled his eyes unscrupulously, and halfway through the roll, he saw the window sill on the third floor, and happened to witness Sherlock and Erin hugging each other affectionately--Anderson, who didn't know the inside story, seemed to be like this--The scene of his eyes almost didn't turn back, and then he was happy to be happy as everyone to call other people to watch, and just opened his mouth and shouted "head", he was cut off by the tired Lestrade, and the inspector said very coldly: "If you talk again, you will be deducted from the bonus!" β
Anderson thought secretly: "This is what you said yourself, and when the time comes, you will regret it when you know that you missed this scene, but don't blame me for not calling you." But when he looked up again, where was the figure of the consulting detective and Comrade Xiao Ai, he spat out a sentence expressionlessly: "Opps, forget to take pictures." β
- Well, this shouldn't be a case where a flag takes effect on the spot... Right?
