[Comprehensive British and American] The bear child of the detective's family

Hannibal once again pointed out a new clue to Sherlock. A suspected murderer was found in a criminal website hidden behind London. From the words, it can be analyzed that it is a man, He, and it looks like He is not a low-key man, as Hannibal Lecter said, the murderer wants to be recognized for his work.

Sherlock didn't know the murderer's new statement at all, and now he was gathering all the clues in his mind.

A man with great strength and a perfectionist who likes to do everything by himself, a tailor? no!Can you get blood coagulants, doctor?It is possible that the income of a doctor is not low, which is just in line with the man's financial strength.successful?It is also possible that many successful people often have various psychological problems in their hearts.At least one thing is certain, so this person's social status is not low.

Gender-defining, psychologically not just a perfectionist, but a pervert, advocating Victorian culture, otherwise wouldn't dress the victims in fancy gowns, so dance?One of Scotland Yard's materials is a 3D data, which prints out the movements of all the victims. The first person is an invitation pose. Among the corpses found in the abandoned corpse yard, women are all dancing. , if put together, it should be a large ball, but the attendees of the ball are all dead puppets.

A Victorian ball?Why was this particular period chosen?

Sherlock narrowed his eyes, and he began to look up information about the Victorian period in his thinking hall.The Victorian period is considered to be the peak of the British Industrial Revolution and the British Empire. It is known for advocating moral cultivation, modesty and politeness. It also formed progressive concepts of gender equality and racial equality?Sherlock waved his hand, this paragraph needs to be deleted, many important things happened in the Victorian era, Jack the Ripper? no!If it is an imitator of Jack the Ripper, it should choose women as its targets.Dance is a kind of communication, unique to the upper class, and represents a kind of prosperity. Sherlock regains what he has just deleted.

The Victorian period was a pinnacle, so the ball would be a lavish retreat, but there were riots and cholera incidents during the Victorian period...

The smiles of the dead, the dances of the dead, the death of people is fixed in the best time and displayed as dolls, which is a kind of discrimination, so...the darkness behind Fuhua?The hypocritical upper class in the dark?

Sherlock smiled meaningfully, perhaps it can really be understood in this way, a perfectionist's satire on the Victorian era, pretending to be a dead victim of the upper class, false reality.

A powerful man who lives in the upper class, likes Victorian culture, but also laughs at the false prosperity at that time, is born arrogant and wants to be appreciated by others, has strong psychological acceptance, and has a certain ability to do things. This is Sherlock's attitude towards the murderer. deductive.

A ball must have a huge place. The place where the corpses are stored must be a deserted suburb, not too far from the two places where the corpses were found. Judging from the preservation of the dolls, this "prom hall" must be It is a place where the remains of victims can be stored for a long time, and it must meet the conditions of low temperature and humidity, but this condition can also be created artificially.

Sherlock hadn't thought of such a place in the outskirts of London for a while.

"What do you think, Sherlock?"

Hannibal could see that Sherlock seemed to have thought of something, so he was very curious, just a little bit of push, what kind of deduction Sherlock can issue the certificate case, different from his dear Will, Sherlock's Ability is deduction, while Will is empathy. In Hannibal's view, no matter which of these two different case-handling abilities he has, he has the fun of exploring.

The human brain is complicated, but there are only a handful of interesting people. Hannibal missed his little teacup more than once, the broken little teacup.

So when he just left his name, he wrote Will's name in memory of Will Graham.

His definition of Will is a broken teacup, which is difficult to restore, but he is inspired to dye the broken teacup black, and let his teacup fall with him.

as if they were dying...

"So Sherlock, what did you think?"

"The murderer is mocking Victorian society. Maybe he has special feelings for that period, but it's not necessarily all good, false prosperity."

Hannibal let out a rare chuckle, a very good interpretation, yes, it was because of the murderer's ridicule that made Hannibal look forward to the completion of his whole work even more.

"I think Greg would like to see you by now."

Sherlock's eyes lit up when he heard Hannibal, so the family authority let him out?

"but……"

"Harry, Greg would like to meet Sherlock, after all his discovery is very interesting."

Lestrade didn't want to see Sherlock. He had asked Donovan to pay attention to the missing persons before. Finally, the disappearance of a single girl caught their attention. The report was made by a neighbor who had a crush on the girl. According to him, the girl The name is Ariel Bessie, a waiter in a restaurant, and she hasn't been back since she left five days ago.

This Miss Arielle Bessie is usually a relatively introverted person, her family is in the countryside of London, and she doesn't have many friends in this city.

Judging from the photo, Ariel Bessie is really beautiful, with big eyes, long golden hair and a shy smile. She is 25 years old this year. Regardless of her age, appearance and missing conditions, she meets the murderer's choice. people, so Lestrade can almost confirm that she has a high probability of being killed.

Miss Arielle Basie's disappearance is not over yet, with a new call to the police.

The body of a woman who appeared to be dancing in a Victorian wedding dress has been found in southwest London.

In the toy puppet case, a female corpse made Lestrade look at another related case in his hands. Why did he vaguely think that this female corpse might be the missing Miss Ariel Bessie, but... according to In terms of time, Ariel Bessie, who had just disappeared for five days, would not be an object of abandonment.

Lestrade, who was just about to go to the police, met Sherlock in front of Scotland Yard. Lestrade looked at Tianxin and said why the little bastard is here again, and saw Sherlock's eyes glowing when he looked at him. After Lestrade spoke, he got into the familiar car. Lestrade took a deep breath. Seeing the little bastard's complacent look, he definitely couldn't keep going.

Lestrade sat in the cab and made a request to Sherlock once, "Sherlock, wait for the command and shut up!"

Sherlock turned his head and ignored Lestrade. He was going to pretend he didn't hear it. Anyway, even if he agreed, he wouldn't listen to Lestrade's command, just like he never listened to Mycroft's command.

It's still in the suburbs, but this time the murderer changed his low profile before, and even put the victim out in a fair manner. When Sherlock saw the poor lady, he had to admire Hannibal... Lecter's analytical ability, he actually saw through the murderer. He is challenging the society in a high-profile way, and now it is his gauntlet.

"Arielle Bessie..."

"what?"

Sherlock didn't hear what Lestrade said to himself, it seemed to be a name?

"New report, missing case." Lestrade handed the report just now to Sherlock, he guessed right, the victim was really that poor lady, now she was wearing a beautiful white wedding dress, With a shy smile on her face, she stood upright. She didn't know that she thought she was a happy woman waiting for her husband, but... her time was frozen in this time forever.

"Boss?"

Donovan gave Lestrade a look of disapproval. She couldn't understand why Lestrade wanted to bring this man with him, but the case belonged to the detectives, and they had no right to command, so Donovan Wan led Lestrade with a serious face, and they found other things besides the victim.

"Obedient."

Lestrade could see the unhappiness on his subordinate's face, he immediately turned around and mouthed to Sherlock, telling him to wait and not be too ostentatious.

Sherlock snorted, he really didn't know what it was to be obedient!

In fact, there is still a doubt about this corpse. After Lestrade looked at the victim Ariel Bessie, he found that no matter how perfect the technology of the victim was, he should not be the one who was abandoned, and The same is true in terms of time. The victims discovered before were all abandoned after several months of death. This one was only... about five days.

"strangeness."

Even Sherlock said it was strange, there must be some other reason for a pervert to abandon his collection within an abnormal time.

So what is the reason?

"Boss, we found this at the victim's feet."

Anderson also took a look at Sherlock. This was the second time he had seen this man. He handed the transparent evidence bag to Lestrade. Inside was a piece of paper, a typed draft.

The few sentences above are the letter of challenge left by the murderer to Scotland Yard, which roughly means that he has found the last "dancer", so this redundant one will be discarded, and next time he will complete his masterpiece, if Don't want another victim, catch me.

"Catchme, Dear Detective."

This is a kind of provocation and a warning. The man is eyeing someone again but has not made a move. He is provoking Scotland Yard and provoking Lestrade. This is a race. Let's see if Scotland Yard catches it first. The murderer was the man who finished his work first, Lestrade looked at the last provocative "Catch me, dear inspector" with a gloomy face, this criminal was the most arrogant he had ever seen.

"Hannibal Lecter said that excessive reporting can lead to a qualitative change in the murderer's mind, making it more high-profile or more low-key."

"So it's more high-profile?"

Lestrade said damn it, he was opposed to large-scale reporting before that, and now it is the impact of the report, damn it.

"It goes without saying that the composition of this lady is a perfect collection. The time of death was about two days. It seems that the murderer didn't kill her very quickly. The wedding dress on her body? The wedding ball? Or It’s still the murderer’s special hobby. The corset is the most standard Victorian style. It’s handmade and…” Sherlock rubbed his hands and looked carefully at the clothes on the victim Ariel. It took a lot of work.”

"If it is defined as the last piece of collection, it is possible that the murderer spent a lot of effort."

In fact, this last collection gave Lestrade a new kind of pressure. They didn't even know how long they would have to investigate before the murderer found the next collection.

"But it was abandoned."

Sherlock snorted, the smell of chemicals on the victim's body hadn't dissipated, what made the murderer set a new target and abandon the last piece of the collection he had long been optimistic about?

During five days.

First of all, those who are familiar to the murderer are eliminated. If the familiar people will not abandon her after finding the last one, passers-by?But the chances of passers-by are also very small.Then it must be that the murderer accidentally met someone whom he saw somewhere, in newspapers, restaurants, work, or on the Internet, this range is too large.

Sherlock circled around the victim, and Lestrade shook his head helplessly, thinking that Sherlock really didn't know how to look at other people's faces, and Anderson's face next to him was turning green.

"Sherlock."

"Shut up and don't make noise, there must be something missing!"

Sherlock thought he must have missed something, something he hadn't thought of.

"Head..."

"Shut up, idiot! Don't think, your thinking has affected me!"

This was the first time Anderson was called an idiot. You must know that he was a top student, otherwise he would not have become the forensic doctor of the Scotland Yard Homicide Squad.

Lestrade made a hush gesture to Anderson, and the little bastard went into annoying mode again. Let him see if he can find any clues. Besides, he folded his arms and looked around the second scene. Novan said: "By the way, who discovered the victim, Miss Ariel?"

"It's a man. According to him, he was going to work in another district and found out by accident."

"Let the little bastard think for himself here, take me to see that man."

So Lestrade saw an elegant man in a suit, with gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle look, he looked at Lestrade and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Lestrade Inspector."

"You know who I am?"

Lestrade held the man's hand in doubt, wondering how the man knew his own.

"Of course, because I admired you before, Inspector."

The man squeezed Lestrade's hand and smiled.
