Chapter 72: The Serial Case of the Killer Husband and Wife [7]
"Sherlock! I can explain it! Connie ran to Sherlock without tears, pulled him by the corner of his coat and almost knelt down to beg for forgiveness.
"Stand ......" a large hand suddenly hit Connie's ankle.
"Ahh She let out a startle and kicked Edward in his front teeth.
"Pain ......" two muffled snorts sounded at the same time.
Holding her feet, Connie looked at Edward, who was crying out in pain, took the electric shocker that Sherlock threw on the grass, and pressed it on Edward.
Just in case, she charged a few more times.
Seeing that he had fainted completely unconscious, Connie was relieved.
As soon as the cold wind blew, she realized her current situation.
"......" Sherlock looked at Connie, who was squatting on the ground and about to roll people over, and finally couldn't bear the cold look and asked.
"What are you going to do?" Although he didn't have such a brain-wasting thing as sympathy, he always felt that this criminal could arouse a little pity from him, if he had it.
"Take off his clothes......"
“……”
"I'm so cold, I haven't eaten all day today, and I......'m being thrown around by them," Connie said resentfully, and suddenly it went dark in front of her.
"Huh?"
"Put it on. That's the proof, stupid humans. His mocking voice came from overhead.
Connie fumbled out of the darkness and saw his coat over her head.
"Okay, thank you then!" Connie was too cold, but when Sherlock said that Edward's clothes were evidence, it seemed that it was not appropriate to pull them off again, so she wrapped her clothes and wrapped herself in a ball.
The clothes were too long and dragged to the ground, Connie simply stepped on the hem of the clothes, and moved to Sherlock's side step by step: "Sherlock, it turns out that the people who captured me are a couple I met unexpectedly at that time, they have a lot of children in the basement, and they are going to sell us tomorrow." After talking about her situation, she suddenly looked around: "Huh? What about them? Why don't you see anyone? ”
"They're on their way here. Almost there. Sherlock pulled out Connie's phone from the pocket on her right, looked at the watch on her wrist, and then took out two chocolate bars from the other pocket and stuffed one into Connie's mouth.
“…… The bag has not been torn yet ==. ”
He shoved another one in: "Come yourself." ”
Connie reluctantly took out two chocolate bars and began to gobble them up.
"I'm starving to death...... The mourners are almost about to ascend to heaven, and they are purr...... "Connie began to read in her native dialect as she ate.
When he finished the last bite, he licked his mouth unsatisfied.
It's just that I have two in my pocket.
She licked her thirsty mouth and looked at Sherlock, "There's a woman and a child in the room, why don't we sneak in and subdue them first?" ”
Sherlock glanced at her.
Connie felt as if he was whitening her.
Oh no, it must have been her delusion.
"What's the use of asking for Lestrade?" He said a word, and then stood where he was.
Three minutes later, Connie sat directly on Edward's chest and curled herself into a ball.
The alarm bell rang at 3 minutes and 50 seconds, and with the lights not far away, ten police cars stopped not far away.
"Raise your hands!" Lestrade's roar was so heartfelt.
"You're 2:55 late, Lestrade." Sherlock said with a blank face, and the nearest figure immediately put away his gun.
"It's you, Sherlock. I've arrived as soon as I can! ”
Connie finally got excited and stood up suddenly, probably accidentally stepping on Edward, who seemed to be waking up again.
"Officer Lestrade, you're finally here! Tie up this kidnapper, and there is his wife and daughter in the house, who are also accomplices, and they have a lot of children in the basement to sell! Connie cried out in surprise.
Lestrade saw Connie, and his eyes lit up: "Connie!?" ”
"Quick! Bring a medical stretcher! Probably because the wound on her head was a little scary, and the blood dried up and left on Connie's head, plus her face was pale, her lips were blue, and she suddenly looked like she had been tortured, and her expression was also very haggard, and Lestrade was suddenly shocked.
"......" is actually just a hungry Connie.
Although she may have had a minor concussion earlier.
But now her only two feelings were cold and hungry.
Before she could resist, Connie was pressed to lie on her shoulder, got into the accompanying ambulance, and walked away.
To her surprise, Sherlock followed her into the ambulance.
"Sherlock, aren't you going to stay there and help the officer?" In view of her previous remarks, she was still a little embarrassed at this time.
Sherlock had put on his coat back and Connie was covered in a blanket, and he sat next to him, watching the drops fall.
"You don't need me." The original intention was that if they used me, they would be able to go home and plant sweet potatoes collectively, which meant that he came easily.
It's a pity that Connie, who lost blood and was deprived of oxygen, couldn't get his deep meaning at this time.
...... "I don't need you here."
Embarrassed, Connie felt that it was better to swallow the words and continue to live.
"Thank you." Eventually, she blushed and thanked her.
Sherlock saves her, and she curses...... Although the humanoid killer or something, she was actually praising it, but Sherlock shouldn't be happy, right?
He looked at her stunned.
"Why don't you say you're welcome?" Oh my! She must have had too much cerebral blood loss and hypoxia! How did she say that?
"Anyway, I have to continue to save it in the future." His eyes, which had been wooden, suddenly had a wave.
“…… Don't curse me. Connie blushed.
"You're welcome."
"......" let her go! She's going to cut off this sin!
A smile flashed, and he changed his sitting position, adjusted his neck, and continued to look at the drip.
The medical staff looked at this scene and secretly pouted and rolled their eyes.
These days, no matter how you quarrel, it's all a car full of pink bubbles...... Could it be that he has been single for many years and has too many resentments?
The ambulance quickly arrived at the hospital, and after a full body examination, she had a slight concussion and mild frostbite, but nothing else was wrong.
Just keep it for a few days.
Connie was gently carried by the nurse sister and shrunk into the bed with a satisfied face after taking a bath.
She's going to get a good night's sleep!
When Sherlock returned from the hospitalization, all he saw was her snoring and sleeping, only one pair of eyes were exposed, and everything else was wrapped in a quilt, which looked like a ball from a distance.
The room was well heated, so he turned the air conditioner to a light setting, turned the noise to a minimum, and poured another glass of water and placed it next to the bed.
This sleep was really Connie's most satisfying sleep.
Because she was kidnapped by Moriarty before, she came back to London and was preparing for the exam, and she didn't get enough sleep every day, and then after the exam, her nerves had just loosened a little, and she was kidnapped, cold, hungry and sleepy, but she didn't dare to really sleep, for fear of being transported to some hell place.
Now that Sherlock was rescued, she felt a sense of security in the hospital's heated private room.
As soon as she woke up, she stretched out in contentment.
Getting out of the bed, her stomach was already croaking.
"Drink porridge."
The steaming porridge was placed next to the bedside table, and Connie smelled the aroma and drooled down.
"Thank you." Connie thanked her, took the porridge and began to eat.
"How long have I been asleep?" She snapped her fingers and counted, "Nineteen hours!" ”
"Two days and nineteen hours." With the sound of him clicking on his phone, there was no hurry.
"Ahem! What the? Connie was dumbfounded and looked at the ten o'clock on the alarm clock.
Sherlock glanced at her, not answering again.
Connie, who silently counted the days: "...... So I'll start school tomorrow! ”
"Hmm." He glanced at Connie again, paused and said, "I took the second place in the entrance exam, which is very good." ”
His rare compliment, Connie was not stunned.
After all, it's not the first time I've been praised by Sherlock~
【Smug face d=====( ̄▽ ̄*)b】
Sherlock swept her smug smile with an expressionless face, and the corners of his mouth paused slightly, faintly raised.
"Then let's get out of the hospital today! I'm really bothering you, Sherlock. "Two days and nineteen hours, she felt like she had wasted all of London's time......
"You're welcome."
"What about Mrs. Hudson and Mr. Henry?"
"They watched over you for two days and went back to sleep."
"......" hehe, self-made amorous self.
"Let's go." He threw over a coat and a new pair of snow boots.
It just happened to be Connie's size.
The clothes on her body were no longer hospital gowns, probably Mrs. Hudson had helped her change them.
Connie put on her coat and warm snow boots, and sighed contentedly.
"Have you completed the hospitalization?" Sherlock is really amazing!
"No, just leave this little thing to Mycroft." He said unconcernedly.
Connie exclaimed, "Master Mycroft is here too!" "A government dignitary came to discharge her? That's not so good!
Sherlock raised an eyebrow: "Mycroft...... My lord? His slightly narrowed eyelids made it clear to Connie that he was displeased.
"Huh...... I mean...... Mycroft came to help me, and it was a real problem for him. But don't we wait for him? ”
"No, he's meeting in Africa right now."
"Oh......" Connie nodded, pausing suddenly, "Wait...... Sherlock, you know that you have to go through the discharge procedures before you can be discharged, right? ”
He bowed his head: "What's the importance of the order?" ”
"Of course the order matters!"
"Anyway, the money is given, and no one cares about an extra bed."
"......" she was speechless.
"In that case, I'll do it myself, soon." As soon as she finished speaking, Sherlock's cell phone rang.
Mycroft's voice came over the phone.
Sherlock turned on the hands-free, and Connie was flattered to accept Mycroft's concerned greeting.
Of course, the discharge procedure or something, that is, a matter of phone call.
It's just that it's a phone call from Mycroft.
For this reason, Connie almost became the hospital mascot left by the dean.
However, her flattered attitude seems to be liked by Sherlock.
"You don't have to be so polite about Mycroft." Connie listened to Sherlock say this, but her face was satisfied, and she couldn't guess his heart......
The strangest thing is that all the way, he is constantly typing on his mobile phone.
It wasn't until the two of them got into the taxi that he put away his phone and began to talk to Connie without saying a word.
At this time, I have to mention her ability to cultivate to the point where she is almost perfect in observing words and emotions and adapting to conversations with the outside world~
