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

Sherlock has obtained some new evidence. According to the footprints left by the murderer, Sherlock knows what he has solved recently and where he has been. There is a specific environment, that is, the murderer also lives in the East District, and all the previous video deletions are to deceive people and confuse the public.

But about the perfume, Sherlock was a little puzzled, why would the murderer's soles be stained with perfume?

"Perhaps you can ask the forensic doctor to see if the victim knocked over the perfume."

If it was a murder that happened in the room, it was very likely that something would be broken, and it was very possible that the perfume was mixed with the blood and was rubbed on.

Sherlock can't wait to go to Scotland Yard, but before that, he has to deal with the little Lestrades. He is the one who called people here, and he must know how to get them back.

"So what are you going to do?"

"With the skin of Mr. Holmes, it seems that we will have no problem going out."

Hannibal smiled, even if there was a little misunderstanding during the period, but a little misunderstanding that can spare no effort to discredit Mr. Mycroft Holmes is nothing.It would be even better if the news about Mycroft Holmes having an illegitimate child reaches Lestrade's ears. No matter how Mycroft wants to seduce their Dad, it will be useless. Honest Lestrade How could it be possible to be with Mycroft, who has three illegitimate children?

Sherlock affirmed Hannibal's statement, "It is true that you can enter all places with the card of the fat man. You really chose the right person."

When Sherlock said this, he looked at Ruiwen again, and he regretted again why Hannibal and the others would follow Ruiwen. Hannibal grabbed Rui who wanted to jump on Sherlock. Wen, his smile became softer, and he said to Sherlock: "Sherlock, maybe Greg is waiting for you."

At this moment, Sherlock was very lucky that Hannibal held Ruiwen back. You must know that Ruiwen was in the skin of Mycroft, and she was thrown by Ruiwen. In Sherlock's eyes, it was the same as being thrown down by Mycroft. There wasn't much difference. He shook his head and thought it was scary. Brother and brother Christine were not suitable for Holmes.

"Okay, maybe you guys can give me a reasonable explanation about Ruiwen's matter then."

"I promise you, Sherlock."

Harold glanced at Hannibal who had made a verbal agreement with Sherlock, Riven's little secret?In fact, they don't know it very well, don't they, then they will be able to see Sherlock's disappointed expression, who knows that Riven and the brothers have different abilities.

Here Raven and the others are going home while Sherlock is going to Scotland Yard. He also hopes to catch the murderer immediately, not because of his cruel methods, but because this is a challenge. Locke doesn't care what kind of impact the murderer will have next.

"By the way, it is said that the murderer deleted all the surveillance video materials."

Sherlock said this recklessly before parting with the bear boy. Hannibal and Tony both looked at Harold. It was obvious that Sherlock said this to Harold on purpose.

Just after Sherlock and Raven's version of Mycroft left Bartz Hospital, the real Mycroft Holmes also happened to pass by Bartz Hospital. He thought of what Lestrade said to him last night, and then Asking the driver to stop the car, he was going to see if his little brother had won a place in Barts Hospital.Mycroft still doesn't know about his being smeared. Recently, there has been a little turmoil at work. He transferred all the people who monitored Sherlock back to work in other places, so it was also a coincidence. He didn't know that Ruiwen things.

Just now Rui Wen and Hannibal also made a big circle in the hospital, so many people have met them once, and when they saw the real McCoff at this time, they thought he had other things. So no one came up to ask him anything.Mycroft searched around but couldn't find Sherlock's shadow. He frowned slightly and said that Sherlock must have been kicked out. At this time, Anthea whispered in his ear: "Boss little Sherlock Holmes Sir has just arrived at Scotland Yard."

Mycroft removed Sherlock's monitoring, but the number of people on Lestrade's side has not decreased at all. There is no way to say that Lestrade was once captured under the nose of his subordinates before, thinking of him working Because of the particularity, Mycroft did not mobilize the manpower there.He smiled when he heard that his younger brother was looking for Lestrade, and said to himself, "It seems that Sherlock is involved in the case."

"I think so."

Since no one saw him, and there were still congressmen waiting to see him, McCoff didn't make any stop and didn't hear the gossip behind him.

"That person is the big man the dean said."

"Yes, how did I hear that he was here for a paternity test? Could it be that the person next to him just now was... his original spouse?"

Well, Mycroft Holmes not only has an illegitimate child, but now he even has a wife, among rumors.

Sherlock rushed into Lestrade's office. Donovan wanted to stop him, but Sherlock was so fast that Sherlock had already entered before she had time to stand up from the stool. Lestrade heard He raised his head and saw Sherlock who was very close to the sound of footsteps. He looked at Sherlock in shock and said, "Sherlock?! What the hell are you doing!"

"We now need to find a place where asphalt, brick dust, white paint and plants exist."

"What? Please explain clearly."

Lestrade couldn't keep up with Sherlock's jumping thinking, what were the four things he just said.Just when Lestrade asked for an explanation, Sherlock looked at him with the eyes of are you a fool, he took a breath and explained at the fastest speed: "Inspector, you are more and more like a goldfish I found these kinds of things in the footprints left by the murderer, because it is confirmed that the murderer is a person who lives nearby, and he must come into contact with these things on the way he walked."

Well, this time Lestrade understood that Sherlock wanted to determine the murderer's route through the clues on the sole of the shoe, and then determine the murderer's location.

"Asphalt? Dust? White paint? Plants?" Lestrade beckoned to Donovan outside, asking her to come and listen. After all, the most useful detective under Lestrade was Donovan. Very capable lady.

"Turning dust must be a construction site. There is only one construction site in the East District near the place where the body of the first victim was found, which is next to the church, and the white paint behind the church is an uninhabited area. Young people like to paint there, I think the paint comes from there, the lawn is equal to the plants, there are two lawns that can be trampled nearby, the church and the park."

Sherlock raised his eyebrows, well, he took back what he just said, Lestrade's mind is still a bit higher than that of a goldfish, at least he still has some concepts about the nearby buildings in his mind.

"asphalt?"

"Obviously you didn't pay attention, the road in front of the church is under renovation."

Sherlock was complacent. When he passed by in Lestrade's car in the morning, Sherlock noticed the new road that hadn't been painted with a zebra crossing. It looked like it had been recently completed.

Donovan glanced at Sherlock and then at Lestrade and said, "It seems that all the evidence points to the vicinity of the church."

Sherlock heard the word church and began to circle around the office, church, church, church? !

"Maybe we can investigate around the church. Inspector, I remember that Mr. Tommy Andrew should have made you a rough portrait of the suspect."

Donovan pulled out a piece of paper from the folder. It looked like a man, with only his back and clothes.

"Our detectives have already gone to ask if anyone knows this figure, so the results will be available soon, and I will ask them to increase their investigation around the church."

Donovan dislikes Sherlock Holmes very much, and Donovan is also opposed to Lestrade letting this unrelated person join their case, not to mention Donovan, but Lestrade and others His subordinates also have voices of discussion. After all, not everyone is like Lestrade who can put their dignity under the case. The frequent joining of a non-police officer is actually a kind of denial of them in disguise. .

"You're ostracizing me, you don't think I should be involved in the Scotland Yard case."

When Donovan spoke to Sherlock just now, there was a taste of repulsion, which was heard by Sherlock, and he looked into Donovan's eyes and said.

Donovan wanted to refute but was preempted by Sherlock, "You even think it was a mistake for the detective to add me to the case."

"Boss, I didn't..."

Lestrade made a stop gesture to Donovan, then stood up and walked forward, pulling Sherlock back and pressing him firmly on the chair, "Donovan is fine, you can go out first, don't worry about the little bastard What you said. Since you are here, Sherlock, just sit here obediently and wait for the news, and I will let the agents under me check the clues you found."

Donovan had no choice but to leave the office as Lestrade said. He glanced at the man who was teaching Sherlock over there and sighed. Maybe some words will be unclear for a while, and she didn't really Wanted to question Lestrade's decision.

Lestrade closed the office door, stood in front of Sherlock, patted his head and said helplessly, "Sherlock, sometimes there are some things that need not be said."

Lestrade is not a fool, of course he can see that his subordinates don't support him to let Sherlock participate in the case, but he doesn't want to make too many explanations, he will choose to let Sherlock intervene Because their team is already at a loss for what to do with this case, and it is possible to solve the case if it continues, but the time will be infinitely long, and it is not known how many victims will appear by then.

Lestrade could not bear the consequences.

So he is willing to let others criticize himself.

"You're kidding yourself."

Lestrade rubbed the little bastard's curly hair and said with a smile: "I just care about the case, as long as there are no more victims, they can say whatever they want."

"Damn good old man." Sherlock muttered.

"What?"

When Lestrade wanted to hear what Sherlock said, the man had turned his head away from him, and Lestrade shrugged helplessly, taking Sherlock as if he was making a fuss.Anyway, Sherlock has already been involved in this case, and some of the previous information is no longer concealed from him. Lestrade threw the folder on his desk on Sherlock and said, "This is something you didn't read before." past data."

Although there may not be any new discoveries, Lestrade also has a glimmer of hope.

However, Sherlock knew about the same from Lestrade's mouth in the previous case analysis, and there was nothing to check the information, so he casually flipped through the diary of the first victim, hoping to get some information from it. Find any clues.

"Inspector, you did not discover that the first victim, Paula Wells, had a habit of praying at night."

Sherlock held up one of the papers, a photocopy from the victim's diary, at the end of which was written about Paula Wells secretly going to her prayers at night, thinking she was a sinner An incarnation is not qualified to step into a church.

Lestrade glanced at it, and it was indeed written what Sherlock said.

Just then Donovan opened his door.

"Boss, some people say they know this figure from the back." Donovan was a little embarrassed, as if the suspect was not easy to say, "The informant said that this dress looks like Father Carl's."

"Father?!"

This is where Donovan is in trouble. A priest is a very sacred profession, so...

"The church is the center of all clues. What a priest hates the most when he serves God is darkness. In the eyes of the priest, prostitutes are the embodiment of lust. If a priest who worships God to the extreme will really do such a thing, sweep away all Sin. Since Miss Paula Wells has the habit of praying at night, perhaps it is not the guests who brought her into the back of the church, after all, a more devout believer will not tarnish the last sanctity in his heart."

Sherlock spread his hands, regardless of whether it was Father Carl Lestrade, he had applied to the higher authorities, requesting to search the church and Father Carl's home, in order to avoid the possibility of loving a victim no matter what he looked like, they would all Can't let go.

"Move out—"

This Father Karl doesn't know what happened. He was praying. Recently, this area is not known to be cursed. There have been murders one after another. Lives are dying like this, although their identities are somewhat different. Unbearable, but they are all God's people. He hoped that the souls of the three girls could wash away their sins and go to heaven.

But the door of the church was opened, and the Scotland Yard police officer he had seen from afar strode in. He looked at Lestrade suspiciously and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"I'm sorry Father, we need to inspect the church, here's the search warrant, I'll make sure my men don't destroy anything, and you've been identified as a suspect, we've checked with your neighbors about the three homicides During the time, they didn't see any shadow of your activities at home, and according to the substances we found in the footprints collected by Miss Alice Senior, they were all concentrated around the church, so we have to doubt you, please You cooperate with our investigation."

In fact, Lestrade didn't really believe that the priest in front of him was the murderer, but just now he carefully looked at the back of Father Karl, no matter whether it was height, fat or thin, it was indeed similar to what Dr. Andrew described, and those who connected together Clues and evidence seem to point to the man in front of him.

Lestrade was still very careful when he spoke. Although the priest was shocked, he politely moved away. What he thought in his heart was that he was not afraid of the shadow. If he checked the church and could really help the case, then he would take inspection.

"Inspector, I want all the priest's shoes."

Another strange request from Sherlock.

"Boss, I found something."

They found the exact same clothes that Dr. Andrew saw in the cupboard belonging to Father Karl in the church. Although the clothes looked clean, it could be seen that they were newly washed.

"Excuse me, is this your dress?"

Karl nodded suspiciously, it was indeed his, and the priest didn't live in the church every night, they had their own house, so at night they would change into their normal clothes and go back.

"Then please go back with us and do a survey."

Although the clothes were the same and there was no blood on them, further testing was needed to see if it was the one worn by the murderer. The suspected suspect, Father Karl, had to follow Lestrade and the others back to Scotland Yard for investigation.

Father Karl stretched out his hands, but Lestrade shook his head, "Father, I really believe in you."

Lestrade has been a policeman for so many years and he still has his own judgment. This Father Karl looked only surprised and puzzled. He didn't look like a murderer at all, and how could the murderer ask to be handcuffed by them? In handcuffs.

Sherlock took advantage of Lestrade's inattention and left the large group. The church has a back door, and all of them are locked at the same level. It is suspected that this is a frame-up, but the only possible back door is also locked, how did the murderer steal things out and let them in again.

When Lestrade took Father Karl away, it was in the name of asking for help. He didn't bring many people with him, so no one suspected it.After all, a priest is a very sacred profession. If Father Karl is not a murderer, taking him away this time may leave some stain on him.

Just when Lestrade took Father Karl to conduct further investigation, the bear boy also made moves. When Sherlock parted with Ruiwen and the others, what he said was for Harold. Lestrade Although he knew Harold's ability, but in his mind, no matter how powerful his baby was, it was better for them not to come into contact with this dark adult world.

But Sherlock violated Lestrade's wishes.

In fact, Harold didn't even engage in an ideological struggle. They really wanted to help Lestrade, but Lestrade didn't want Harold to pretend that he didn't know about these things, but now it's different, even if it is Harold also has a scapegoat when he helps out, and it will be good to push everything to Sherlock by then.

It is easy to enter the monitoring system, but it is rare to find the destroyed data from behind a lot of data. Harold also found a helper to help him, that is Tony.Both Tony and Harold are geniuses in computer code and mechanics. Relatively speaking, Tony is more inclined to the latter, while Harold is the former.

But this does not affect Tony's help. It took them two hours to find the deleted video image among countless 1s and 0s. It takes time to restore the destroyed code through a code similar to a virus. , The whole process took about four hours. It was not until it was getting dark that some of the deleted images were restored, but this part was enough.

By zooming in on the person captured by the surveillance camera for a clear comparison, they saw the person's true face.

Harold hacked into the government system, found the basic information of the resident population in London, and after screening, he found the person in this picture...

As for the clothes, it was definitely worn by the murderer when he committed the crime. Although the blood stains on it seemed to have been washed off, traces could still be seen after inspection.But Sherlock didn't mention a seemingly insignificant clue before, that is, there are ingredients suspected of perfume on the sole of the shoe.

The reason why Sherlock asked for all of Father Carl's shoes is to check this. All the shoes have been tested. One pair of shoes is indeed stained with blood and other similar substances, but it is missing something similar to perfume. of this item.

Sherlock immediately became more suspicious that this was a frame-up, and he called Lestrade to inquire about something.

"Is there a broken perfume bottle in Alice Senior's room?"

"Perfume bottle?" Lestrade quickly looked through the information on the scene, and indeed found the perfume bottle in the trash can in the bathroom. "Indeed, there are, in the bathroom."

"Our murderer is not Father Karl. He was framed. Although the priest's shoe sole substance matches the other four, he lacks perfume or something similar to perfume that can be fused with a solvent."

Sherlock paused here. If the perfume was in the bathroom, it might have been broken before the crime. The murderer probably didn't know that the soles of his shoes were stained with perfume, so he had a loophole.

He remembered that Alice Senior put all her cosmetics on the bedside table, and if she guessed correctly, the perfume should be there too, but he remembered that there were also... medicines on the bedside table at the scene of the crime.

Could he just imagine that Alice Senior smashed the perfume while dispensing the medicine, and the murderer accidentally stepped on it while helping to clean it but didn't know...

Then the murderer...

Sherlock's phone rang at this time, and he took it out to see that it was Harold's number. Sherlock raised his lips and said that it seemed that there was news from Harold Lestrade.

"Sherlock, we have found the murderer."

Straight to the point.

"I also found a suspected one."

"According to the restored surveillance video, the murderer who appeared at the crime scene was..."
