Lestrade thinks that the murderer will still be committing the crime, so he asks Donovan to keep an eye on the report of the missing person, and there will always be some clues in it. Among the 400 people who disappeared in two years, Reestrade finally left a file of 150 suspected victims after sorting out, and there are several commonalities among them, first of all, they are single and have no family by their side, secondly, they live in a relatively remote place, and they must be in good shape, and finally, Reestrade boldly guesses that there will be no children or old people, and their ages should generally be between 20 and 40 years old.

It's just that before he investigates, things have taken a new turn.

In the woods on the outskirts of London, more than ten buried bodies were found, all of which, according to preliminary reports, were said to have been specially treated, i.e. two belonged to one case, just like those found in Lestrade's case.

With a bad premonition, Lestrade called the police again, dozens of corpses were not a small number, especially after the doll case in his hand was touched before.

When he arrived at the place where the body was found, he stood outside the cordon and took a deep breath, the forensic team had already arrived in advance, their new forensic doctor Anderson was outside the cordon, Lestrade looked at him, Anderson looked pale and seemed to be frightened by something. Lestrade frowned slightly, took the glove from Donovan's hand and asked, "What's the situation inside?" ”

Anderson's face seemed to turn pale, and he held on to the big tree next to him and waved his hand before saying, "It's hard to say, in short, I haven't seen a scene like this." ”

This sentence is even more said Lestrade's heart tightened, he walked over and patted Anderson on the shoulder, after all, it is normal for a novice to just take over the task of the murder team and encounter a big case or a crime scene that is too miserable to accept, thinking that when he first started to enter the murder team, he experienced a case that was too bloody and didn't want to eat for two or three days, and even those who had little ability to accept it, and it was not the first time that he would vomit.

Every, Lestrade made the last preparations, stepped into the cordon, and he strode with Donovan towards the place where the body was actually found.

The more you go, the stronger the smell, that rotten smell.

Donovan stepped forward and walked over to Lestrade, she wrapped her coat tighter, the trees in this forest were all leafy, and judging by the age of the trees, they were also old, so the canopy was connected together to block out part of the sun, and the only sunlight that shone down made the forest look even more gloomy, and only their footsteps could be heard quietly.

"Boss ......"

Donovan called out to Lestrade, even if she was strong, she was still a woman, the previous case had left a strange shadow, and now the environment was plated with a strange color that made her a little worried. Lestrade stopped, he looked at Donovan's own deputy and smiled, he patted her on the shoulder and said, "If you can't hold on, go outside and wait for me, no problem." ”

Donovan finally shook her head, she was a strong woman fighting on the front line of the murder team, how could she temporarily retreat.

Reistrode thought that his subordinates would choose to quit, after all, it was a lady, even if it was inevitable, who knew that he saw Donovan resettle his mind and follow his footsteps, Reestrade nodded secretly in his heart, and said that this is the thorny rose of the murder team, with a stronger psychology than a man.

When the scene of the crime arrived, the smell of the carrion was even stronger, and the detectives who were still holding their positions were also pale, Lestrade shook his head and said that there was less psychological pressure, he waved his hand and said: "Leave a forensic doctor, and the rest will go to a place with a small smell first, you are vomiting here and causing trouble." ”

Lestrade's words are not reasonable, there were detectives who vomited at the scene of the crime before this, which had a great impact on the evidence collection of the case at that time.

"I'll do it."

While the forensic doctors were facing each other, Anderson, who had just gone out to get some fresh air, returned to the battlefield, nodded to his colleagues and took the job. Anderson had his own ideals, and he thought that he was too unqualified to be defeated by a small scene, so after seeing Donovan come in, he thought for a while and caught up with Lestrade and them.

Now there were only three of them left, Lestrade. Donovan and Anderson.

Lestrade looked at the place in front of him that could be turned into an abandoned corpse field, and now he could see five corpses, and he could see that they all had their own fixed postures, but the appearance of their faces was no longer distinguishable, probably because they had been abandoned for too long and were still in the soil, and the speed of decay was faster and more severe.

The corpses are piled up in order, and they look very neat and orderly, which is completely in line with the perfectionist perfectionism.

Now the exhumation of the corpses has not been completed, and it is possible to see ten corpses, but I don't know if there is a third layer of corpses buried deeper underneath, if so, then it can only be said that the place where the murderer buried the body is recycled, and the murderer may want to make a cemetery.

"The time of death preliminarily determined by Nos. 1 to 5 on the first floor is more than ten months, the body is decomposed, the facial information is blurred, and there are a total of three men and two women on the first floor."

Not just the male victims, this time they also found the female victims, Lestrade looked at their dresses that looked worn out due to decay and burial, the women's long gowns also wore a hat on top of their heads, Lestrade crouched down and looked at the closest victim to him, female, facial unremarkable, Victorian ball dresses, fixed posture like maidens accepting invitations.

Another doll, and Lestrade was almost certain that it was made by a man.

"Compared with the previous victim, these people seem to be more immature, decomposing faster, and many body information has been blurred, and the only way to know their identity is to carry out the next autopsy."

Anderson's eyes rolled to the side, it was too heavy, and he remembered that there were mushrooms on them when he had just dug up the dirt on it.

"Women...... Looks like our killer is trying to throw a ball. ”

All of them were dressed in gorgeous gowns, and their movements were deliberately danced, as if another lady on the first floor had raised one arm, and she was like a dancing white swan.

"So these are failed test subjects?"

"Sure."

Anderson glanced at Lestrade, who was squatting there dragging his cheeks to study, and he thought in his heart that this man was worthy of being the head of the murder team, and he didn't even change his face in the face of such an abandoned corpse scene, which showed his strength. In fact, Lestrade was also very uncomfortable when he saw such a scene, but his mind was now on the victim, and that sense of responsibility diluted the impact of this scene.

He looked at the victims in front of him and could imagine that they had been all alive and kicking up until now, but now ......

"You can't be sure how many corpses there were, can you?"

"Yes, Tong Guò observes the suspected three layers."

Lestrade stood up abruptly and said, "Count all the victims, dig up!" ”

Anderson straightened up and replied, "Yes." ”

He ran over and called all the people back to work, and it was time to start again. Donovan's face was also very bad, after all, this crime scene was not only terrifying, but also terrifying, she whispered: "Boss, can we really catch this crazy person?" ”

"No, we must catch him if we gamble on the glory of Inspector Scotland Yard's Murder Squad."

Greg Justice, Lestrade swears that no matter how much effort it takes to catch such a vicious prisoner, he will use all the strength he can to catch them.

It took them an hour to finally see the whole corpse field, a total of four floors of twenty abandoned corpses, beyond their imagination, especially the victims hidden in the depths of the last layer, the corpses were decomposed, Cheng Dù could not even recognize the gender, if it were not for the dress he was wearing.

Lestrade crossed his arms and looked at the twenty corpses lined up in front of him, according to the decaying Cheng dù they were marked with a number in turn, one to five are the victims of the first layer, and the five to six are the second layer, judging from the decomposing Cheng dù, it is really more miserable than the other, but these twenty victims can really be divided into four groups, the forensic doctors believe that from the speed of decomposition and Cheng dù, the murderer buried the body regularly, and the victims of each layer were abandoned at the same time.

"With so many real products, what does he want......

In any case, all that is left to do now is a detailed autopsy to see if the identity of the deceased can be confirmed, as well as the time of their death, and most importantly, to see if there is a number on their clothes.

This time the vicious case can no longer be concealed from the media, Scotland Yard is asked to hold a press conference to explain what the incident holds, Lestrade is actually unwilling, until he can't figure out what kind of person the murderer is, it is very dangerous to be open.

But this is the decision above, and even Lestrade cannot stop it.

Two days after the 20 bodies were found, the London newspapers were occupied by "missing persons, psychopathic murderers, and humanoid doll cases."

Mycroft, who had just returned to London, looked at the newspaper that Ancia had brought him, and his face showed a subtle expression, no wonder Lestrade had told him that there were so many perverts in London, and now it seems that it is really like that.

"Boss, your brother, Mr. Holmes Jr., has been looking for you."

Mycroft raised his eyebrows, it was really rare for Sherlock to find him, but he didn't even call him personally, this bear kid didn't know what was going on.

"Sherlock? What's the matter? ”

"He asked his doctor to tell you that he had finished his drug rehabilitation, so hopefully you can free him."

Mycroft laughed, what kind of word is liberation?

However, these things are not Sherlock's own decision, until his doctor really nods, and of course Mycroft knows why Sherlock wants "liberation" so much, it must be their righteous Inspector Lestrade who refuses his request to help investigate the case because of drug use, so he pays attention to his "poor" brother.

"Anthea, have you paid attention to the humanoid doll case?"

"No, but I can follow it now."

Ancia took out her phone, and it only took a minute for her to get the latest internal information, which was nothing special for her.

Mycroft nodded and said, "Remember to put a copy of Wen Jiàn on my desk, and ...... Arrange for Sherlock's doctor to come and see me first. ”

"Okay."

Ancia rolled her eyes at Mycroft's graceful back, a man with most of the power in the British government was going to pay attention to the case of a perverted murderer, she was willing to bet everyone that it had something to do with Inspector Lestrade, who was investigating the case, because Mycroft's eyes had just stayed on the newspaper headline Inspector's photo for more than ten seconds, but he only took twenty seconds to read the whole report.

But for now, it's still the people who arrange for McCroft to meet are the main ones.

That afternoon, Mycroft made an appointment with Sherlock's doctor, but Anthea was a bit of a mess and she brought back a burden.

So the door to Mycroft's office was pushed open, and the cumbersome, who shouldn't have been here, appeared, and he made a smirk, tilted his head and said, "Long time no see, my dear little brother, Sherlock." ”

"Long time no see, Mydearbrother!"

Sherlock aggravated Dearbrother.
