Christmastry at Lestrade's family was a perfect ending, and although Mycroft's departure was a little regrettable, it was soon dispelled by the little angels' show.

They enjoyed Christmas, Christmas for the family.

Sherlock discovers that Loki has an interesting little ability, and in the previous real, he discovered that Harry, Loki, and Merlin's three children who can do magic are slightly different in magic. Harry's magic, for example, is a bit more powerful and not very stable. Loki's magic is fine, presumably due to the fact that he often uses magic pranks, while Merlin's magic is a little more mellow than that of his two older brothers, and it has developed steadily.

Sherlock believes that the magic of several people is different and has something to do with their personalities, just like Harry Potter is the eldest brother in the family, and he has a strong sense of responsibility and believes that he has an obligation to take care of his younger brother. However, Sherlock thinks that there is still a possibility for them to grow, after all, they are still young.

So Sherlock decided that as long as the Lestrades didn't kick him out, he decided to stay, and there was nothing more interesting than studying the bear children of the Lestrades.

Especially the little princess sapphire of the Lestrade family, who had wanted to study but had no tools, and McCroft's Christmas gift had just solved his urgent need.

So what kind of agreement, Sherlock doesn't seem to have heard of it.

It's just that before Sherlock can sneak into studying little Raven, he finds that the little pranks that have been stopped before have started again.

Innocuous but very troublesome, for example, he couldn't find all his clothes this morning, they all disappeared out of thin air!

Along with his pajamas, they're gone! So Sherlock is now completely striped.

He tore off the quilt and wrapped it around himself, and when he opened the door, he saw the little Lestrades talking together, and when they heard Sherlock's footsteps, they turned their heads and gave him a look, and immediately resumed the conversation on the subject, Sherlock only needed a glance to determine that they meant it.

He frowned and said that he hadn't provoked them during this time, could it be that the idea of secretly studying Raven had been exposed?

But it didn't seem to be like this, there must be something he didn't know, and little Lestrade cared.

“Whereismyclothes！”

Sherlock spat out word by word, all his clothes and pajamas were gone, not a single one was left, should he be glad that at least the bears had left him a quilt.

"Sherlock, you came out without wearing anything, shame."

Merlin laughed loudly at Sherlock, and his tongue and grimace caused a green vein to burst out of Sherlock's forehead.

He repeated the previous words again, the voice seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth, Hannibal looked at Sherlock disapprovingly, it seemed that their guests were not in a very good temper during this time, so he heard Hannibal clear his throat and say, "Dear Sherlock, you should know that Red. Bare. The body is not something to be ashamed of, it is a liberation of human nature. ”

Harold put down the new computer in his hand and twitched the corners of his mouth, saying that Hannibal was encouraging Sherlock to come naked. Ben? In their homes, naked in front of their brothers. Flee? Is...... What a bold method of persuasion.

"Tell me, how I've provoked you lately."

Sherlock rolled his eyes so that he wouldn't be naked at home. Ben, especially in the living room with its huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

He knew that his bear children must have been with him again, just like a few weeks ago he provoked Loki and a few of their little imps for saying the wrong thing, and now he still has a lot of little things to do, so he doesn't want to be disrupted by pranks.

"Of course it's not your fault, Loki and Merlin you haven't changed Sherlock's clothes back yet."

Harry replied with a smile, he attributed the disappearance of Sherlock's clothes to the result of his two little brothers being too boring, but Sherlock would not believe it, Harry Potter's smirk knew that there was a ghost, he followed Merlin and Loki and watched the two imps change back his hidden clothes, he must know what went wrong.

After Christmas, the bears had some time off, but Lestrade went to work to earn money to support his family.

A new case is the report I received this morning.

The homeless man found a corpse frozen in water by the river outside London, and this corpse had a great feature that it was posed in a strange shape, and this shape was not something that a normal person could pose.

When Lestrade heard about the special shape of this corpse, he knew that something might be wrong, it must not be a suicide or an accident, there is only one possibility that it is an abandoned corpse. Scotland Yard arrived at the scene as fast as he could, it was still very cold in January, and even a breath would produce a sigh of air, and the body would be found probably because the river had risen to the surface before the river froze over, and after the temperature had dropped sharply.

The location where the corpses appeared was relatively remote, and the large number of aquatic plants next to it was also a key sewage river, so this place was rarely seen by people all year round.

The victim was a male who had been cut out of the ice by the time Lestrade arrived at the scene.

Dressed in a thick trench coat and wearing a scarf given to him by Sherlock, Lestrade walked quickly to the front of the corpse, which was found standing on the surface of the river, the victim's eyes were closed, and he was dressed in a gorgeous Victorian costume, he looked like he was dancing, and he made an inviting gesture with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

The first thing Lestrade felt when he saw him was that it was weird, very weird, that the man was like a doll that had been posed for a certain purpose.

Donovan, who was following Lestrade closely, shuddered, not because of the weather but because of this peculiar and strange corpse.

She whispered to Lestrade, "Chief, I feel weird. ”

Lestrade looked at the corpse and rubbed the back of his hand and said, "Me too." ”

Now there is a 100% chance that the body will be dumped, and if it is a person who wants to commit suicide, it is impossible to smile before drowning himself, the main thing is ......

After circling around the corpse, Lestrade shouted, "Forensic doctor, I need help!" ”

Their medical examiner was a recent newcomer, a little younger than him who had just been promoted to the medical examiner of the Homicide Squad, and his name was Anderson.

"Boss, what do you say?"

The new forensic doctor had smooth black hair, a clean beard on his face, he looked unusually young, his smile was quite decent, he ran over with a small box in his hand, and followed the murder team to call Lestrade the leader.

"The victim's back is decomposed, which contrasts with the previous appearance, what do you think?"

Anderson didn't expect to be called up when he first started to contact the big case, he was a little excited, looked the victim up and down and stumbled and replied: "I think it started to rot from the inside, because you see that this piece of skin on the neck is still normal." ”

Lestrade had just seen that there were one or two pieces of normal skin in the decaying flesh, which were very similar to the front of the victim, so why would a person start to rot from the inside?

And the most important point is that if according to the previous preliminary identification, the corpse may have been washed up by the river and accidentally frozen, then why did there be no change in the appearance of his body, even if the dead corpse was soaked for a long time, it would become fat and appear swollen.

"There must have been some kind of treatment to this body, and someone should take him back to Butz Hospital for further autopsy."

Lestrade gave the order, and Anderson replied loudly that it was the first time for him to handle such a special case, and now he felt that his whole body was full of strength. When he scrambled to find someone to help, Donovan looked at his back and smiled, "The new one is energetic." ”

Lestrade shrugged at Donovan's words, "Novices are always passionate. ”

The short conversation made the strangeness in their hearts disappear a lot, and Lestrade began to examine the case again, an unexpected floating corpse, because the corpse has been specially treated and it is not certain when the time of death is still uncertain, the deceased is Caucasian but has not yet investigated his relevant information, there are two possibilities for this situation, one is that the victim is not a native of London, and the other is that he is a smuggler or a homeless man who is not noticed. Either way, it would be a big obstacle for them to determine the identity of the deceased, but the only thing that is certain is that it happened under their noses. Naked murder.

"Is there anything else I can find out at the scene?"

Donovan shook his head at Lestrade, "There are so few clues, even confessions, the river is so desolate and far from London, so few people come, not even scavengers or vagabonds." And it's not the first crime scene, we don't have any clues other than this body. ”

"Damn it."

Winter, damn winter has frozen all the clues under the ice.

"If you want to dump the body, you must have the tools to check the surveillance video on the nearby road in recent months, and also find out all the upstream sections of the river for me."

"Yes, sir."

The discovery of this corpse is probably only the tip of the iceberg, a corpse that looks like a doll has been abandoned in the water, and he probably won't be the first or the last.

In the spring of 2006, Lestrade ushered in a super vicious case in the history of his case. event, known as the Humanoid Doll Case.
