Chapter Seventy-Seven: Another Case
Sherlock smiled heartily and said, "Interesting warning, are the five orange cores of the 3Klux Klan?" β
"Warning? What warnings? Sherlock, can you explain? Lestrade said he was a little confused, unable to keep up with Sherlock's brain circuits. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ding Ding Ding Ding~"
Sherlock was just about to answer, but the text message ringtone on his mobile phone blocked his words back, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at it impatiently, and said angrily: "It's really troublesome, you have time to go to the dentist and you don't know that you are going to solve the case, and you have to pester me with your life?" β
He was silent for a while and said: "In the past, there were secret societies that used five sun-dried melon seeds as a warning, and now this is the same, an interesting serial bombing case. Then he looked at Han Yiren and said, "Give you a task, McCroft's case will be handed over to you, and let him stop bothering me." β
Han Yiren was also a little confused, he didn't know that he would have his own role after watching the play well, but looking at Sherlock's expression, he had no choice but to respond, nodded and separated from them.
After Han Yiren left the police station according to Sherlock's instructions, he directly reached out and stopped a taxi to find Mycroft.
As a high-ranking official of the British government, McCroft's office was naturally located at Buckingham Palace, which was the main residence and office of the British monarch in London. The palace is located in Westminster, which is still some distance from Han Yiren's current place, and it took more than ten minutes to reach the splendid, vast and luxurious Buckingham Palace.
To be honest, it was the first time for Han Yiren to come here, and when he got out of the car, he was instantly attracted by such a magnificent building after seeing Victoria Square, and the taxi driver called him several times before he came back to his senses.
Han Yiren smiled and paid the fare, turned around and looked again at the monument of Victoria's gilded statue erected in the center of Victoria Square, and walked through Victoria Square to Buckingham Palace, the entire Buckingham Palace was surrounded by iron railings, and when Han Yiren walked to the main entrance of Buckingham Palace, a member of the Royal Guard wearing a red dress and a high fur hat stopped him.
"Hello sir, this is a government office area, and visitors are not allowed to enter."
Han Yiren took out the document Sherlock gave him and shook it, "I'm looking for Mycrof, Sherlock Holmes." β
The guard looked at the ID in his hand, raised his hand and saluted, "You go forward, someone behind the door will show you the way." β
Han Yiren put away his documents and walked straight in, and immediately someone came to guide him, Han Yiren went around all the way, and was taken to an unmanned office after five security checks.
"Sir, you'll be there soon, Chief Mycroft."
Han Yiren sat on a chair in the middle of the office and waited, opposite a desk full of papers, and soon Mycroft pushed the door in with a stack of papers and said, "Does Sherlock want to use this case for you to practice?" I think he might be disappointed. McCroft admired him, but did not think he was capable of solving the case on his own.
Han Yiren raised his eyebrows, it was not difficult for him to hear the contempt in McCroft's words, but he was not in a hurry, facts always speak louder than words, as long as the case is solved, it will be the most powerful response to McCroft.
"The teacher gave me this case, and I think I can get a lot of useful information from Mr. McCroft."
Mycroft, who was flipping through the papers, glanced up at him and asked, "So you want to know about the missile program?" β
Han Yiren shook his head and said, "No, I want you to tell me something about the recent deceased. β
McCroft first smiled and then touched his chin with some pain, and said, "Andrew West, 27 years old, an employee of Vauxhall, a spy for MI6, he played a minor role in the Bruce Partington plan, the background check is normal, and there is no record of joining any terrorist organization. β
"And what was he doing before he disappeared?" Han Yiren crossed his legs to make himself more comfortable, and asked.
Mycroft rubbed his chin again and said, "West disappeared after saying goodbye to his fiancΓ©e at half past ten last night, and according to his wife's description, West was standing at the window and looking out, and then left in a hurry. β
Window? This is a very interesting place, Han Yiren secretly wrote this down in his heart, and continued to ask: "West was found on the train tracks of Battershi, and he took the train?" β
"No, it's a pity that although he has a bus smart card, he doesn't have a record of using it." Mycroft's teeth were visibly uncomfortable, and he never stopped stroking his jaw.
"And he bought the ticket?"
It is also possible that the other party went to sell the Bruce Partington plan, and it is also very likely that he bought a ticket to take the train in order not to let others find out about his whereabouts.
But Mycroft still shook his head and said: "No ticket stub was found on the body, so why did he appear on the tracks of Batterchy Railway Station and die with a blow to the head?" That's the question you want to answer for me. β
When Han Yiren heard this, he knew that Mycroft had given an eviction order, so he nodded and got up and said, "Mr. Mycroft, don't worry, this case will be solved soon." After saying that, he didn't care what McCroft's expression was, and walked straight out of the office.
After the information provided by Mycroft just now, Han Yiren already has some eyebrows, and has been able to determine that West did not arrive at Batshey by public transportation, in other words, it is possible that West was killed and dumped on the Batshey railroad tracks, since there is such a possibility, then Han Yiren needs to take a look at West's body to see if there is any information left on it.
Han Yiren left Buckingham Palace and went directly to Butts Hospital, which is the largest hospital in London, where the bodies of the deceased who died accidentally or were likely to be murdered are kept here, and this is also another big stronghold of Sherlock, and Han Yiren is also very familiar with this.
As soon as he got off the taxi, after paying the money, he saw Jasmine, a forensic doctor who admired his teacher, at this time Jasmine was walking towards the hospital gate with a cup of coffee bought outside, and Han Yiren smelled the aroma of the coffee from a distance, and the clear coffee was added with two pieces of sugar, which was a typical Sherlock taste.
Han Yiren instantly realized that Sherlock was also here at this time, smiled and walked up to greet Jasmine: "Jasmine! β
Jasmine's hand holding the coffee trembled, and she looked back at Han Yiren with a smile on her face, and replied, "What are you doing so loudly, if the coffee is spilled, I won't buy it." β
Han Yiren shrugged his shoulders and said, "Jasmine, I don't believe you won't go to buy coffee for the teacher, is the teacher in the laboratory now?" β
After seeing Jasmine nodded, Han Yiren continued: "I came to see Andrew West's body this time, do you know where it is?" β
