"Ben, I have to say, we may have to postpone our lunchtime." When Gu Qing said this, the lively Christmas holiday had ended, and he had returned to the quiet and peaceful campus, on his way to lunch with his good friend Benjamin. Now, however, the adjective "quiet and peaceful" has to be reconsidered.

Benjamin asked, puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not a big deal, it's just that you might have to watch a shooting." Gu Qing made a muffled voice and magnified the thunder, and then borrowed the tennis bag of the boy who was a few steps away from them, and it was obvious that he froze when he heard Gu Qing's words, and the other party was not stingy at all and didn't ask anything.

The yellow tennis ball bypassed the street lamp not far away, and slammed into a pedestrian, who fell to the ground, and coincidentally the pistol pinned to the belt behind it also fell out.

"Thanks again." Gu Qing returned the tennis racket to its owner, thanked him very politely, and the other party was stunned and said, "You're welcome." ”

Gu Qing walked quickly to the pedestrian who had been knocked unconscious, turned him over, and rejoiced that he had put on the gloves he received at Christmas when he went out, carefully observed the other party's fingers and his collar, looked up and said to Benjamin: "Now I am sure, and unfortunately the person who was shot by him is no longer saved." ”

As a good friend, Benjamin still kept his composure and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Gu Qing blinked: "The gray matter is splashed out." ”

……

"So, you just casually look at someone and you can see that he is not only carrying a gun, but also killing someone, so you knock him out with a tennis ball, is that right?!" Inspector Lestrade stared at the boy in front of him and asked dryly, there was a vicious shooting at a century-old school, and Lestrade rushed over with his team after receiving the alarm.

On the way, I also learned the basic information, and when I saw that the shooter had been captured by the Cambridge students, I really didn't think much about it at the time, but when I saw the curly hair at the scene of the crime, Lestrade had a bad premonition. When the owner of the relatively well-groomed curly hair raised his head and smiled innocently at him, Lestrade felt that his premonition had come true, and his stomach felt as heavy as several stones.

After learning about the situation, Lestrade had a headache: there is a ghost of being an elder brother who makes a lot of trouble in Scotland Yard - just a good detective who has seen the tip of the iceberg is still too simple, and in the future he will understand how heavy it must be to "forget it" - how can he be a younger brother now and learn the same? Can't you #study hard and make progress every day#?

"No," Gu Qing had to answer all questions, after all, the detective in front of him was a person circled by his family, and he had to be said to be a rare good person, thinking that Sherlock would have a long-term cooperation with Inspector Good in the future, as a younger brother, he would naturally not drag his feet, "Michael Lemmon was just hired, and the person who hired him to kill Professor Nelson had a strong personal grudge with Professor Nelson, so he specifically asked Lemmon to shoot Professor Nelson in the eyes." In addition, the employer apparently had access to Professor Nelson's office and was well aware of Professor Nelson's itinerary... Sorry, digress. ”

Lestrade: "......," he said in a somewhat somber tone, "you stay and don't move." With that, he hurried to the police car where Michael Lemmon was being held (that is, the hired half-hanged killer who was knocked down by a tennis ball and fell on the gravel road of Cambridge with a bruised nose and swollen face).

As soon as Lestrade left, Anderson, who had been looking at him for a while, rushed over, Gu Qingzheng looked down and replied to the message sent by Benjamin, and after noticing the footsteps, he raised his head and said to Anderson, who braked two steps in front of him, "I remember you." ”

"I'm so happy," said Anderson, rolling his eyes, "but thanks to you, the whole Scotland yard is now watching when I come out of the cupboard." ”

Gu Qing smiled and said, "Your popularity is so good. ”

Anderson: "? ”

Gu Qing said seriously: "Even with the speed of information transmission in today's information age, and excluding the factors of the Christmas holiday, in just such a short period of time, the entire Scotland Yard knows about that incident and also leads to a by-product of gambling fun, which is not generally fast, it can only show that you are very popular in the center of the event." ”

Anderson: "......" Well, he's exaggerating, of course not to the point of the whole Scotland Yard, it's just a few nearby groups joking← please, this is a rotten country, gay is not a big problem at all, just like a hairline problem. Now that he sees the initiator again, Anderson just can't help but talk cheaply, how can he think that people didn't understand his true intentions, and started an academic analysis, the corners of Anderson's mouth twitched and said, "Please, you're not serious, are you?" ”

Gu Qing's eyes were very sincere: "Of course not, I am sarcastic to you very seriously." After I realized that your girlfriend was planning to break up with you, I decided to sarcastically mock you instead of sarcastically sarcastic, apparently you didn't get my kindness. ”

Anderson: "...... What the hell are you talking nonsense? ”

Gu Qing once again thought that Anderson still hadn't understood his kindness, so he could only explain: "The folds on the collar show that you have been kissed on the cheek, but the person who kissed you is so absent-minded that they don't notice the unwashed shaving cream on your sideburns, and you have a hint of Miss Dior's sweetheart fragrance on you, it seems that she can't wait to return to single." So, I wish you a happy breakup in advance. ”

Anderson wasn't happy at all.

Lestrade, who was returning from the question, felt a little embarrassed, so he coughed and pretended not to hear what Gu Qing said, "Anderson, aren't you supposed to investigate at the scene of the crime?" ”

Anderson held his breath, turned around angrily and went to the crime scene not far away, and just walked two steps before he heard the boy who made people itch his hands say: "Turn left fifty meters in the bathroom." ”

Anderson: "......" He didn't go to wash the unwashed shaving cream, what the hell, bite me!

Lestrade paused and didn't say anything to the instigator who made his subordinates so angry that they were all about to smoke, to be honest, this young man has a pair of watery eyes full of innocence, which makes people can't bear to say anything reproachful← this is a world of faces.

Anderson was about to faint in the toilet crying.

"Well, how did you know that the person who hired Michael Lemmon had access to Professor Nelson's office?" Detective Lestrade, who knew how to be flexible, asked as he pulled himself together.

"Looks like you've made sure Michael Lemmon was hired, so he obviously asked you to check his phone, can I?" Although I've already seen it. Gu Qing stretched out his hand towards Lestrade, and the speechless detective handed over the phone, Gu Qing pulled up the photo sent to Michael Lemmon by the mercenary, "Notice the lower right corner of this photo?" There is a rectangular stain, judging by the shape, it is the reflection of a window, which means that it is a photograph of a photo. The original photo was placed under the glass, and the frame was cut out. As for why I confirmed that it was taken in the office? ”

Gu Qing asked and answered himself seriously, "Because we couldn't confirm who Michael Lemmon shot at first, but we found Professor Nelson's wallet from him, we thought that maybe something happened to Professor Nelson, so we went to Professor Nelson's office first." ”

The Inspector listened selectively to what he wanted to hear, and then said thoughtfully, "So we should be looking for someone who not only has free access to Professor Nelson's office, but also knows his itinerary well, and who also lives near Michael Lemmon?" According to Michael Lemmon, the people who came to him learned about his history and circumstances from his neighbors. ”

Lestrade didn't wait for Gu Qing's answer, he couldn't help but look at him, Gu Qing put the mobile phone with the text message into his pocket, and blinked his watery eyes: "Oh, you're asking me?" I thought it was your Scotland Yard job. ”

Lestrade: "......" Originally, Lestrade listened to Gu Qing's detailed explanation to him, and he was still thinking that compared to the scumbag who despised the Scotland yard and spoke like AK47, he was much softer and easier to get along with. Now I was shocked by Gu Qing's words, and the whole person was not very good, #我裤子都脱了, you just show me this#, phew, I'm all ready to arrest people when you say a name, you remember now that you're not from Scotland Yard, you shouldn't care about this?! People do things!

Gu Qing didn't know the inner collapse of Inspector Hao, he raised his watch to look at the time, and asked Lestrade very politely: "Inspector, can I treat you to lunch?" ”

Lestrade: Huh? "In the end, the good detective of integrity is still ...... After accepting this lunch, he finally couldn't resist treating his stomach badly, and the sandwiches and cinnamon apple strudel at Cambridge University were too delicious!

The sandwich filling was so solid that Lestrade couldn't help but despise the sandwich he had eaten before with a few slices of ham and lettuce, and the cinnamon apple strudel was also a work of conscience. After taking a sip of coffee, Lestrade looked at the restaurant logo on the coffee cup before he groaned in comfort, and he almost didn't squirt the coffee out of his mouth - when did that expensive restaurant in London even have to make reservations months in advance, when did it fall to the point of delivering food?! Hum rich second generation burn burn!

The rich second generation was very hospitable and said, "There is also a Victorian sponge cake here, do you want to taste a piece, Inspector?" ”

The Victorian sponge cake has an enticing aroma of cream and jam that seduces people when it comes in a box!

“…… Why not? "Inspector Lestrade decided to treat his stomach first, and then talk about burning the second generation of the rich.

As they finished their take-out lunch, news came from Donovan's side, and they had locked on a suspect: Professor Nelson's teaching assistant, Kevin Taylor.

"In fact, the professionalism of Scotland Yard is still worth looking forward to?" Gu Qing, who was well-fed and drunk, stood up lazily as he spoke, wrapped in a well-fitting and elegant suit, with a slender and tall figure with a green and unavoidable attraction, "Can we go, Detective?" Don't say I can't go along, there's no such thing as a free lunch, Inspector. ”

Lestrade: "......" He should have known, but he didn't resist at the time, blaming the enemy for the delicious sugar-coated shells! After struggling, the detective asked, "Don't you even need to go to class?" ”

Gu Qing lowered his eyes and said, "The professors knew that I had encountered such a terrible thing, so they understood that they would give me a vacation." ”

Lestrade: Are the professors at the University of Cambridge ...... serious?

Spit and complain, in the end, Lestrade still took Gu Qing to the apartment of the suspect they locked, Anderson saw Gu Qing's eyes red, if it weren't for Lestrade and Donovan who were still there, Anderson would have gone up to scratch Gu Qing's paws. Therefore, he decided to give Gu Qing a little color to see-

"Kevin Taylor, we know that Michael Lemmon lives just a block away from you, and we also know that Professor Nelson caused you to lose your job, and two weeks ago he wrote on a recommendation for a full-time job that you applied to another university that your job never improved."

As soon as Lestrade finished speaking, Anderson couldn't wait to speak: "What's more, we also found a complaint he wrote to the school sheriff's office in the draft of his computer mailbox, saying that after learning about that letter of recommendation, you threatened to make him pay, so you hired Michael Lemmon to kill Professor Nelson!" After saying that, he looked at the door of the room defiantly, but found that the kid who wished him a happy breakup didn't know when he was no longer standing at the door, ha, what does he mean by this? Did Scotland Yard find out the real culprit first, and he felt ashamed?

Thinking like this, Anderson became proud, not to mention that the next group found the disposable mobile phone that sent a photo to Michael Lemmon in Kevin Taylor's bedroom, Anderson snatched the mobile phone and shook it fiercely towards Gu Qing, who came back at some point: "Now you are convinced!" ”

The other team members all stared at Anderson who was acting aggressively, and Lestrade felt inexplicably embarrassed, Anderson, do you know that you are like a bully who bullies good students now, and the detective who must have a short mouth on Cheng Dù gave Donovan a look.

Donovan, who had been robbed, stepped forward to take Anderson's disposable phone and took it to confront Kevin Taylor. Anderson raised his eyebrows at Gu Qingyi: "Look at it carefully, the main event is coming, and that guy is about to confess!" ”

Gu Qing said slowly: "So, it's a text message?" ”

Anderson: "? ”

"Your girlfriend texted and broke up with you, you cried in the bathroom and washed the unwashed shaving cream off your sideburns." Gu Qing thought for a while and added, "If I sue you that our deceased Professor Nelson was betrayed by his wife and teaching assistant, will it make you feel balanced?" ”

Anderson opened his mouth wide: "Really? So Professor Nelson was not only cuckolded, but also murdered by the little white face, which is really ...... "miserable enough."

Lestrade couldn't help but look sideways, and was about to ask Gu Qing how he saw that Professor Nelson was cuckolded, he hadn't even seen Professor Nelson's wife, when Donovan came over and said, "This guy has confessed." ”

Gu Qing suddenly realized: "It turns out that he really has an affair with Professor Nelson's wife." ”

Anderson was furious: "You were kidding me before, didn't you?!" ”

"No, why do you think that? Obviously, I'd love to talk to you, you're funny. Gu Qing also pouted, obviously not very happy that Anderson said this, his expression looked very sincere, so that people subconsciously wanted to believe him, and heard him say again: "Now I will answer you, the first half of what you said is right, but the second half of the sentence is wrong." ”

Anderson said angrily: "Can't you just say something if you have something to say?" ”

Gu Qing said bluntly: "Professor Nelson was not hired by Kevin Taylor to kill Michael Lemmon. ”

Donovan couldn't help but say, "He just confessed to himself!" ”

Gu Qing didn't want to say how many doubts there were before, such as the disposable mobile phone found in the bedroom, what is a disposable mobile phone, isn't it just that you use it once and lose it?

He proved it by saying to Kevin Taylor, who was in police custody and passing by them: "We wonder why you specifically stated in your text message to Michael Lemmon that you not only shot Professor Nelson in the eye, but also shot him in the genitals, and did you hate him so much?" ”

Kevin Taylor didn't want to say, "yes, I hate him that much." He didn't even think about it, and he didn't have any confusion at all about what Gu Qing said, just like when the police were going to search his bedroom before, he didn't panic at all.

Lestrade waved his hand to let his subordinates continue to take the suspect out, and they noticed the problem now, because in the text message that Michael Lemmon received and Professor Nelson, there was no such thing as a so-called lower body shot, and he was about to open his mouth to be preempted by Anderson: "If it's not him, it's Professor Nelson's wife, she hired someone to kill her husband and blame her lover, as for the reason, let me think about it, ah! It was Professor Nelson who found out she was cheating on him behind his back and threatened a divorce so that she would not get a penny. ”

"It's a reasonable inference," Gu Qing said in admiration, and Anderson was poured a basin of cold water before he could be proud, "It's just wrong, but despite this, your courage to try is still worth encouraging." ”

Anderson immediately said, "Huh": "Then do I still want to say thank you for your encouragement?" ”

"You're welcome." Gu Qing blinked, Anderson: "......"

Feeling that he had really not eaten an annoying lunch in vain, Lestrade sighed and said, "Enough, let's go back to the police station in advance." ”

Gu Qing followed out like a stream, and when he walked out of the door, he pointed to the opposite room and said to Lestrade, "I think Inspector, you might want to talk to the residents of that apartment." ”

Anderson sarcastically said: "Don't sue me, there is a real murderer living inside?" Ha, do you think your finger is a murderer detector? ”

"No, I just want to say that the other party is obviously very interested in surveillance equipment, and has installed a miniature camera outside the door, and everyone has a hobby." Gu Qing lowered his head and fiddled with his phone, "As expected, we should be able to see Professor Nelson's figure appear in the other party's surveillance video." Well? Didn't I sue you? It was himself who really hired people to kill Professor Nelson. ”

Everyone: "...... "You don't have you don't have you don't have you, important things have to be said three times!"

Reestrade, who had cushioned up, first cheered up and asked, "...... Can you explain? It doesn't make sense that he hired someone to kill himself. ”

"What if I tell you that he has cancer and only a few months to live?" Gu Qing sighed, "I'll just treat you as if you were silent and asking me how I know, Tong Guò a photo." In Professor Nelson's office, there is a photo of him and his students, and in the photo, the eyes of the rest of the people are red from the flash, except for Professor Nelson's, which indicates that his choroidal layer is blocked. When he said this, he looked at Anderson, who somehow understood what he meant, licked his lips and explained: "The choroidal layer is the part of the retina that reflexes, and if this part is blocked, it is likely to be melanoma." ”

Gu Qing corrected: "To be precise, it is uveal melanoma. ”

Anderson explains, "Well, uveal melanoma is a malignant intraocular tumor with the highest incidence of any intraocular tumor in Europe, and it's a very painful disease, and the people who are prone to it are—"

"Now we know he's got an incurable disease," Lestrade interrupted Anderson's science, "but it doesn't mean anything." But his tone was not as firm as before.

"Revenge for betraying his wife and teaching assistant, and relief from his illness, why not? It makes sense, why shoot both eyes. Gu Qing's long eyelashes drooped, covering the flash of light in his eyes.

"Because his eyes can prove that he is seriously ill, and once noticed, we will think in other directions, such as suicide." He didn't even realize that he had followed Gu Qing's train of thought now.

"If it were me, I'd find out." Anderson said smugly, ignored by the others, and Lestrade asked Gu Qing puzzled: "Wait, where did you know that Professor Nelson's wife had an affair with Kevin Taylor?" ”

Gu Qing really did everything he could to answer all questions, which was completely different from Sherlock: "The same photo, Mrs. Nelson's earrings are obviously different from her other jewelry in terms of style and price, but Mrs. Nelson obviously likes it very much, and deliberately arranged her hair to expose them when taking pictures." What's more, I found one of them in Kevin Taylor's apartment, I am afraid that Mrs. Nelson accidentally dropped it, and it was found and not returned, indicating that she was probably here yesterday recently, so Kevin Taylor thought that the disposable phone would be dropped by Mrs. Nelson, and he was guilty of dopamine. ”

"Dopamine is made by the thalamus-" Anderson subconsciously explained the noun, and Donovan rolled his eyes and roared: "Anderson, we're not idiots, we all know what it is, okay?" ”

Anderson: "...... I'm sorry. Anderson, who was "bullying the weak and afraid of the hard", turned his head and glared at Gu Qing, Gu Qing pretended to be helpless and said: "If you want to ask me why I ruled out Mrs. Nelson's suspicion at the beginning, I would be happy to sue you." William Harris, a partner at Thompson Law Firm, sent a letter of acknowledgment of receipt to Professor Nelson's office for the change of will, and I am sure you would be happy to ask him for more information. ”

As he spoke, he tried to be vivid, showing everyone a photo of William Harris's personal page on his mobile phone, with a smile that could not have been more innocent.

Scotland Yard team led by Inspector Lestrade "......" manual goodbye!
