145. Fusion of personality
The cases probably happened one after the other, and before the press conference at Scotland Yard took place, there was a third victim in the case, who was found in a fancy hotel.
It was a man, and he had died in his hotel bed.
When Lestrade received the report, he immediately dialed Sherlock's phone, this time no one could stop his decision to ask for help, Anderson and Donovan, who had stopped Lestrade in public at that time, did not look very good, they did not expect that the murderer would commit the crime again so quickly before they found out what they did not expect.
In fact, Anderson still wanted to stop Reestrade, but was held back by Donovan, although they found some clues through Guò Reestrade, but the case is becoming more and more difficult now, if more victims appear because of their obsession, they will almost be considered guilty by then.
No one knows how long it will take Sherlock to solve the case, but the man can always be clever enough to see something new.
Lestrade reported the location of the hotel to Sherlock, who would take a taxi to him.
And Lestrade also called the police.
They are not very clear about the scene and the victim, the victim did not check out because it was the scheduled check-out time, so the hotel staff knocked on the door of the room where he was staying, there was no movement inside, and the hotel staff made the decision to open the door with a spare key after asking the manager. They were even more worried about whether something had happened to this gentleman, and the young lady who had opened the room with him did not show up.
After all, if something happens in their hotel, it will affect their reputation.
When the door to the room opened, they saw a bed full of blood, a dead man and a woman who had a nervous breakdown, and the whole scene was very chaotic, and the hotel staff at that time also screamed before calming down.
They were all professionally trained to know what to do in the face of a homicide, so they first cordoned off the room and then reported it to Scotland Yard so that they could come and investigate immediately.
After that, no second person entered the whole scene until ...... Lestrade their arrival.
They cordoned off the entire hotel and took away the surveillance video of the entire hotel as soon as possible, worried that if they were too late, they would give the murderer a phone message and let him erase his traces. Scotland Yard was much faster than Sherlock, Reistrade had brought shoe covers and gloves into the scene, Donovan had led someone to investigate the tenants living on this floor, and Anderson had already gone in to inspect the site first.
This scene is really the same as the previous two, the victim is a man, and the murder method is the same as the previous two, all of which are cut trachea, but this time there is a little difference, that is, there is an eyewitness.
Lestrade shook her head when she saw the witness who was pinned to the bed, the woman who was said to be a high-class prostitute after the investigation, she was trembling all the time, the corners of her mouth were all traces of blood, and the murderer not only took her tongue, but also sewed her mouth shut, and she was even more stupid.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the poor woman barely survived her life.
It's just that......
Donovan, who followed up, couldn't bear it, such a person survived is actually a kind of sadness, losing his mind, losing his tongue, and even being deprived of the right to speak.
"Boss, the freak is here."
Sherlock had already arrived as fast as he could, and when Donovan told Sù Lestrade that the freak they had invited had arrived, Lestrade looked at her with obvious disapproval, and Donovan kept his mouth shut, well, it wasn't once or twice that Lestrade didn't like them to call Sherlock freaks.
When Lestrade went out to welcome the people in, he heard Sherlock say to him, "Actually, you should have called me earlier, Inspector." ”
"Shut up Sherlock, I need you to help me catch the murderer as much as possible, and I can't let him go on like this anymore."
Sherlock won't shut up, he's never been the one who can be obedient, they all know it, don't they?
When Sherlock saw the scene, he was actually more excited, he liked challenging cases, about this case he had also seen the relevant information that Lestrade had brought back, the murderer had put himself on the moral high ground, and he was punishing the person he thought had committed a crime.
And take away their organs to make an example.
"Cheating person?" Sherlock said as he circled around the bed, and Anderson snorted twice and began to express his opinion, "How do you know that you are cheating and not just coming with □□ to open the room." ”
Sherlock looked at him with your stupid eyes, and pointed to the man's right hand sewn on the bed and said, "There are traces of a ring on his hand, what ring can't be worn at this time?" It could only be a wedding ring, because he didn't want others to see that he was a married person, which would affect his reputation, and of course he wouldn't let others know. His wedding ring must have been carried with him, either in his briefcase or in his pocket. ”
Donovan unconvincedly checked the victim's pocket and his briefcase, but unfortunately it didn't, Donovan shrugged and looked at Sherlock with a sneer. Sherlock frowned, the man chose to cheat in a high-end hotel in order to keep his ** secret, judging from what he was wearing, the man should have a little savings, and he attaches great importance to his reputation. Such a person is smart so he will not throw away such things as wedding rings casually, it is most appropriate to put them on his body, and when he walks out of this hotel and returns to work or life, he can wear the ring at any time.
Why not?
Sherlock frowned and spun around again, if he was the murderer, of course he wouldn't take the wedding ring, because it wasn't a trophy for the murderer at all, but a bit redundant, so ......
"Unwrapping the thread on this young lady's mouth, I think the wedding ring may have been forced into her mouth."
With a wave of his hand, Lestrade asked the forensic doctor to come and remove the thread from the victim's mouth, and the woman struggled hard to make a whimpering sound, she probably had her mouth sewn while she was conscious, so that the approach of someone probably aroused her fear of the murderer.
It turns out that Sherlock was right this time, and the killer sewed the ring into the woman's lips so that she would not swallow it. Donovan tilted his head to Anderson's side as the medical examiner took out the ring.
Sherlock was a little proud, he actually didn't have any sympathy or concept of right and wrong for this kind of thing, just when he was proud, it was Lestrade who slapped him awake, Lestrade looked at him with disapproval and said: "Sherlock retracted your expression, do you have any clues about this case?" ”
"The killer gouged out the victim's eyeballs while he was still alive, but there was no sign of a fight in the entire room, and it is possible that the killer had done something on their bodies or in their food." Sherlock's expression narrowed slightly, but he was still excited because of the case. "There is also a possibility that the murderer came in while the two were sleeping, he was silent, after subduing the man first, the lady tried to escape but was caught by him, you see there are finger marks on her ankles, probably left by the murderer when he dragged her back."
Sherlock gestured to how the killer dragged the poor woman to bed.
"It's also possible that the two of them stayed when they were making/having sex, after all, many people like to be more intense."
Anderson's argument is that as a married man, he is still more accustomed to those small movements in bed.
"Anderson, are you using your filthy mind to defile this high-IQ crime, doing/sexing? How could it be that there was only one ankle on the hand, and the finger marks on this woman's ankle were different from the one who died, and they were obviously larger. ”
Although one of the two Sherlock Holmes brothers doesn't like sex/love, he has also had sex with other women, while the other is a clean place with empty knowledge, feelings are boring for Sherlock, and sex/love is a waste of time, so when Sherlock argues against Anderson's words, Lestrade is also full of helplessness.
After putting Anderson and Sherlock together, Lestrade feared that Anderson would unilaterally provoke a war, so he ordered all the personnel of Scotland Yard to temporarily withdraw from the room, leaving Sherlock a little room to think.
"Alright, now my great detective, do you have any ideas?"
"There are actually many ways for the murderer to come in and out of the way, and he can even wait for this ...... before he can ambush here Cheating sir, after all, this hotel and this room are what he often appears. ”
Sherlock took out the red mobile phone that was placed on the bedside table, it was obviously the lady who was implicated, he lightly cracked the code and found the text message and held it up to Lestrade, in the past month, the same number had sent her five text messages, all in this room in this hotel.
“What?! Really? ”
"Detective, you need to know that some people just like to use a place all the time, which is safe for them, now let's see where the hell is this victim's lost phone."
As he spoke, Sherlock dialed the suspected victim's phone, the phone vibrated from under the bed, and at the moment he heard the vibration, Lestrade had a feeling that his hair stood on end, he and Sherlock glanced at each other and then lifted the falling sheets, and a black mobile phone was buzzing under the empty bed......
Sherlock was holding up his cell phone and the man was dumbfounded, and there were many ways for the murderer to come in and out, but what if the murderer had been waiting for the victim in this room from the beginning? He may not even have left until ......
Until the hotel staff opened the door to this room, and then ran out screaming to call the police, you must know that there is a gap during this time, and the chaos at that time is not surprising even if there is a sudden extra person.
"The murderer has been waiting for them to arrive, and he is watching you somewhere even when you arrive...... Detective. ”
Lestrade's eyes widened slowly, a look of disbelief.
The number has been completely eliminated, and at the same time, congratulations on being able to start your own transformation, how does it feel to merge the two personalities together? My Mr. Beast. ――Jim
The man in the hat smiled at the text messages coming from his phone, and he carried a sealed briefcase in his left hand, replying to the text messages from Moriati as he walked.
All I can say is that it feels great, dear Mr. Professor.
