Chapter 87: The Death of a Teacher in St. Paul [(2)]
On the first day of visiting Philomena, Connie couldn't finish the long day.
#说实话接到哈德森太太的电话的时候她还是蛮庆幸的#
However, the content of the phone call she received made her not so happy.
Lestrade, who had made a point of greeting the progress of the case because of Connie's death, was in trouble.
#大概是好不容易结个婚, he used the character value he had accumulated over the years#
Not to mention that it is well known, but the math teacher died in the school garden, and judging by the amount of bleeding, it is unlikely that he committed suicide, and the coroner of the police station has also verified that the cause of his death was due to excessive blood loss.
The killer knocked the man unconscious, cut his artery with a knife and pushed the person downstairs to cover up the traces.
Connie felt that when she heard the news, she was inwardly resistant—because the murderer seemed to sound a little stupid—who was going to commit suicide and jump off a building after cutting his pulse?
484sa?
Of course, this is the forensic decision, in short, the name of murder is set.
But that wasn't the main reason Mrs. Hudson called.
Originally, on this sunny weekend, the young couple decided to go to the theater to watch a show.
But when the home field opened, there were drops of bright red blood as snowflakes drifted down the center of the stage.
Immediately after, there was a female corpse falling from the sky.
Unlike the math teacher, the blood in her body was almost gone, but her body was still warm.
What connects these two cases is the relationship between the two.
Three days earlier, the two had just received their marriage certificate and were married on the same day at St. Paul's Cathedral.
And there was only one witness to the wedding - which was most unexpected by Connie.
The only witness was Robert Bunian.
The news about the wedding was also found by the police, and he vomited.
When she heard this, Connie already had a chill all over her body.
It's like every time she encounters that kind of dangerous puzzle, even if she is not the decipher or participant, she will have a feeling of amazement.
Unlike Mrs. Hudson's worries, there was another point that she was more puzzled about.
St.
It was on his way to St. Paul's Cathedral that Lestrade was attacked on his way to St. Paul's Cathedral to find the priest.
Although Mrs. Hudson's tone sounded like such an attack as an accident, Lestrade was implicated by accident.
But Connie doesn't see it that way.
After hanging up the phone, she said goodbye to Philomena and rushed home.
Philomena was still forced home, but she didn't refuse—after all, this place couldn't even get in.
In 221b, Mrs. Hudson and Mr. Henry, still in suits and dresses, had just returned home from being questioned by the police, and Sherlock was long gone.
Connie suddenly felt a little worried, inexplicably.
"Are you alright?" She took a blanket and wrapped it in Mrs. Hudson, who was calmly holding the hot tea Henry had just made.
He seemed to be quite relaxed, but he was worried about Lestrade's injuries - and he called her for fear that she would be accidentally affected by wandering the streets.
Connie was a little puzzled: "You just found the body, how did you know her identity and the relationship between the dead teacher so quickly?" "And find Robert...... It's a little strange how this speed feels.
Henry hugged Mrs. Hudson: "Coincidentally, the deceased is one of today's performers, and Robert knew her, and I heard that with the dead teacher, the three of them were friends when they were young, so they came to see people today, and after the incident, he stayed at the scene of the crime, and happened to meet ...... with Lestrade."
Mrs. Hudson glared at him, "You recognized him as Connie's math teacher first......"
Connie was dumbfounded: "Huh? ”
Mrs. Hudson smirked, "Oh dear, long before you entered the school, he had already made all the teachers in your school very clear. ”
Connie, who was rarely controlled by a woman: "......"
#真是深感荣幸哦#
"So......" Connie felt like her head was about to turn into mush again.
"It's fine if you're okay. Then wait for Sherlock to come back and ask what the situation is, now that the streets are so unsafe, you better be careful, if you want to go out, let your dad pick you up. Mrs. Hudson touched the top of Connie's head.
Connie nodded, and asked again, "What about Sherlock?" Where did he go? ”
Henry shook his head: "This kid is a god and a tail...... Presumably St. Paul's Cathedral? ”
#神行摆尾是什么意思==#
Connie was silent and nodded, "Okay, then I'll stay at home, I'll go prepare dinner." ”
Carrying her bag into the room and changing into loungewear, Connie tied her apron to the kitchen and began to prepare dinner.
But the case was on my mind.
Robert, the dead math teacher, his wife.
This qiē is like a mystery package - definitely Sherlock's favorite.
But Connie fears danger and intrigue more than an itch.
Even when she was kidnapped by Moriarty, she never had such an inexplicable feeling.
#然而胡思乱想一向是她的天赋技能#
#胆子也是小得没边了#
Bart!
At sunset, she felt her crow's beak skills deeply.
#终于生活还是给她开了金手指的#
#尽管金手指是没什么用的乌鸦嘴#
Sherlock was admitted to the hospital.
Shylock......
Entered......
Hospital......
The news was like a ten-ton hammer smashing into Connie's head.
Don't say confused, direct cerebral hemorrhage.
Sherlock would be smashed into the hospital one day.
So, after receiving a call from Lestrade, who was also in the hospital and had been placed in the bed next to Sherlock, the family of three hurried to the hospital.
#雷斯垂德好心塞#
When he pushed the door into the room, Sherlock had just done a full set of tests, and McCroft insisted that his brother could not have any problems and potential threats, so even though Sherlock said that he was just caught off guard and was knocked on the head from behind, Mycroft sent two muscular brothers of 1.9 meters to drag him into the testing room.
Dressed in a sky-blue and white striped hospital gown on him, with a bandage on his head, and a trace of blood oozing from the side of his head, he sat on the hospital bed, leaning on a soft pillow, and the whole person looked silent and pale.
Connie felt that he was devastated - for being knocked unconscious.
Although his face was expressionless, his lips were pale.
She still felt the annoyance and anger on his calm face.
#察言观色技能又up了一个等级#
"Oh~ Sherlock, are you alright?" Hudson's unique greeting skill is sent.
Connie quietly walked up to him and placed the hastily filled soup on the bedside table: "Drink some soup, this is bone broth, it will help to recover." Her voice was calm.
There's no schadenfreude from those little police sheep, and there's no hidden worries from Hudson and McCroft.
It's like an injury, but it's a common thing.
Sherlock glanced up at her, took the soup she handed over, and drank it slowly.
Although the stew is not long, the pork rib soup is quite fragrant.
Lestrade's eyes suddenly turned sad.
Connie didn't ignore his eyes, of course—but she heard Hudson say that Sherlock had left the house without lunch, and then went straight to St. Paul's and was knocked into the hospital, and in shock she ran to the hospital with the soup.
The worry was partly the reason, but the shock was the news that made her completely forget that Lestrade was there.
Who knows if they're still in the same hospital, in the same room, or in the bed next door.
#打电话报消息的雷斯垂德再次心碎#
#总觉得是麦考夫安排的#
Connie looked at Sherlock's expression, and she also suppressed the worry in her heart, and it didn't seem to have received a lot of physical damage.
However, the psychological damage cannot be estimated......
#伤到了夏洛克 Sherlock Holmes' self-esteem#
#为whoever点一根蜡#
Lestrade began his journey of eating sadly with the dinner brought in from the hospital.
After drinking a bowl of soup, Sherlock disliked the hospital meal and dumped it into the trash.
#雷斯垂德已满身是剑#
Henry volunteered to stay with Sherlock so that no one would come against him.
Politely declined by Mycroft, he had sent his men to stand guard outside the ward, and to greet the doctors and nurses on duty in the hospital, which was now safer than the police station in London.
What's more, there are police officers sent by the London Police to protect Lestrade in the hospital.
#明里暗里都有人, don't worry! #
After confessing, McCroft boarded a plane on the roof of the building and flew back to Pakistan.
#为了弟弟大老远从出差地飞回来也是煞费苦心#
And Connie, who knew that Mycroft seemed to be promoted again, was also a little surprised.
Although he is a person who may be able to compare to Sherlock in IQ, it is also better to be promoted in the government department so quickly.
#麦考夫是个好哥哥#
#她是不是该给雇佣主的哥哥上贡点心意? #
#比如给做点芝麻糊啥的#
#毕竟距离上次见面他的发际线又高了#
As soon as Mycroft left, Henry immediately changed his words: "Since the hospital is so safe, then Connie should stay here at night, it is safe here, there will be no danger, the people who want to find Sherlock, if they find 221, maybe it will be more dangerous at night." ”
Connie was shocked: "What about you?" ”
The two looked at each other: "I'm going to take Nina to Las Vegas to rest for a few days, London is so unpeaceful after this incident, we were going to let you ask for leave from school, but now that something like this has happened to Sherlock, no one can take care of it, plus you have to go to class again, just stay here, when Sherlock goes home safely, someone will protect you in 221b, and there will be someone to pick you up from school, so you don't have to worry about your safety." ”
Connie was stunned.
#哦原来是要甩开她这个单身狗去旅游啊#
#虐汪也不带这样的#
She looked at a few people without tears: "Then I want to sleep here at night?" "She still has a shadow on the hospital.
Henry smiled: "It's okay, I'll ask the nurse to open another room for you later...... Will Xiaonie be shy too? ”
Connie waved, "No, I'll live here." "One person in one room, don't be too scary!
Henry: What about the shyness that the "......" said was good?
Sherlock didn't know when he had started reading a book, and he didn't know where he had taken it out.
At this time, the book was closed with a "snap", and the sound was not loud, but it immediately attracted everyone's attention.
He looked at Henry, and the two men didn't know what was in their eyes.
After a long time, Sherlock spoke, "Connie, coffee." ”
Connie suddenly looked up: "Now? ”
Henry Yan's face became grinning again: "That's it, I'll take Connie home to get something, we haven't eaten dinner yet." I'll send Connie back later. ”
Connie was forced out of the room and in the car home.
#她好像没有拒绝的可能性? #
Alone at home and knocked unconscious or something...... It's kind of scary to think about.
Looking at Henry driving, Connie felt the need to light a wax for herself.
#这对虐汪的情侣简直让人狗带#
In the hospital room, Lestrade had already finished his dinner.
But he saw Sherlock staring straight at him.
Suddenly his scalp was numb: "What are you doing?" ”
But I saw him raise his chin and look at him with a gesture.
Lestrade looked at himself, then to the right with Sherlock's line of sight.
Looking at the empty bed, my heart flashed: "Let me move over?" ”
Sherlock didn't nod, but the look at him silently was a certainty.
With a jump in the corner of his eye, Lestrade took a deep breath and got up to move to the side.
"Quilt." He turned around and opened the book again, and it was the same page he had just closed.
Lestrade stiffened and silently changed the quilts on both sides.
The branches outside the window swayed in the wind against the dim light, and his heart was cold to ice......
