"Huh? Is this mobile phone the same as the one in 'Pink Research'?" Lestrade saw the mobile phone in Sherlock's hand and found it familiar. I thought of where I had seen this phone before.

However, as evidence, the real pink mobile phone has long been transferred to the physical evidence department. If the physical evidence disappeared, Lestrade would not have heard the news at all, so even if he has never touched Sherlock himself The mobile phone in his hand, Lestrade also knew, was not the pink mobile phone that was used as evidence.

"'Pink Study'?" Sherlock froze for a moment, and then he quickly realized what Lestrade was talking about. "Do you read his blog too?"

"Of course we all," replied Lestrade, and he smiled at John.

His blog that Sherlock refers to is written by John Watson.Although John was a Chinese in the early days, his adaptability has always been good. At the same time, he has a better plan to practice speaking and writing. In addition, there are suggestions from his psychiatrist, so John naturally I started to write a blog, and it was also to pass the boring time when Sherlock had no cases.

Of course, the most important thing is because of the psychiatrist. He always obeys her words. After all, if he wants to live in the modern society, he must abide by the rules of this society.Even with Sherlock and Mycroft covering it up for him, John couldn't rely on them alone and leave him indifferent.

Because of this, he will be like a real ordinary military doctor who retired due to psychological factors and injuries, and live a life that ordinary people think of as following the rules.

So, John Watson started a blog.

But the content is the daily life of John Watson.

However, most of John's daily life is as an assistant to accompany Sherlock in handling cases, so the contents of the case, except for some things that should not be known, have become texts in John's blog.

In order to prove that he did read John's blog, and because Sherlock had humiliated him in front of his colleagues just now, Lestrade pretended to be curious and asked Sherlock: "You really don't know that the earth revolves around Does the sun turn?"

In fact, Mycroft had already told Lestrade about Sherlock's embarrassing things from childhood to adulthood. After all, when he asked Sherlock for help, Lestrade would be more or less despised by Sherlock. Mycroft is also trying to comfort his lover, which is understandable in a way.

But Lestrade couldn't betray Mycroft, so he used the contents of John's blog to ask questions. After all, John dared to write it, so he obviously wouldn't mind being known about it, wouldn't he? !

It is rare for Sherlock to not get entangled with Lestrade wisely. Although in his opinion, it doesn't matter that he doesn't know that the earth revolves around the sun, but John obviously came to the present from China 1000 years ago. Britain, but it's only been a year now, but it has been able to perfectly adapt to the current life, and mocks itself with so-called common sense...

To be honest, Sherlock was a little upset!

However, the benefits John brought him completely outweighed the discomfort he could bring him, so Sherlock silently forgave him.

Sherlock changed the subject, fiddled with his mobile phone, and said, "It's not the same one, this one is new, and someone has worked hard to make them look the same. This shows that your blog has a fairly wide readership."

However, he also understood that the prisoner may have learned about the case he had investigated from John's blog, but if he could get the brand and model of the mobile phone from the physical evidence class in Scotland Yard, it means that the other party is definitely not an ordinary person. people.

The other party may want to play a fun game, and Sherlock just happens to be willing to accompany him.

At this moment, the pink phone beeped, indicating that it had received a new text message.Sherlock opened it and saw a picture inside.

It was a picture of a room with a fireplace in the middle, the wallpaper on both sides was torn, and there was no furniture.

"A photo posted by a real estate agent, plus the sound of the Greenwich time?" Lestrade didn't quite understand what this meant.

"...This is a warning!" Sherlock hesitated for a moment, and finally he made this judgment.

"Warning?" Lestrade didn't understand that Sherlock would think so, because it was just a picture and the notification sound of the mobile phone, it might not have other meanings in it.

"There used to be secret societies that used dried melon seeds as warnings." Sherlock explained to Lestrade in this way, and at the same time explained to John, so that he would not understand anything.And while he was explaining, he was also thinking. "Like five orange cores, five counts are the same. So he is warning us that similar explosions will happen again."

Sherlock carefully observed the picture, trying to find clues from it. "I seem to have seen this place before."

"Really? When did you see it?" John glanced at it, and felt that there seemed to be something familiar. "The pattern of this wallpaper..."

It was only half a month when John and Sherlock were together, but he also felt that if there was something familiar about this picture, it meant that this was a place they had seen in the past half a month.

And it was obvious where this place would be.

Because Sherlock didn't like to ride in a police car, he hailed a taxi with John, and Lestrade followed closely behind in a police car.

Their destination is - Baker Street 221b.

Sherlock and the others came to the basement, where there was a room rented by no tenant, and they called Mrs. Hudson, hoping that she could open the door of the room.

Sherlock has seen every room in 221b, because when he first came, he needed to talk about a room that suits him.But John has seen the pattern of this wallpaper, because it is also pasted on the wall outside the room.

Sherlock told Mrs. Hudson that the door of this room had been opened, but Mrs. Hudson obviously didn't believe it, because there was only one key, and this key was in Mrs. Hudson's hand.At the same time, since no one was interested in renting the room, Mrs. Hudson would not waste her time bringing tenants into the room. After all, it was a basement and it was too damp.

But Sherlock is an exception, because he always likes to observe a certain angle of the place he lives in.

The dank room in the basement had been occupied by Mrs. Hudson when she was first married, so it was memorable in a way.But now, the whole wall of it was moldy, and Mr. Hudson had passed away, so Mrs. Hudson moved out and chose another room as a bedroom.

Because Mrs. Hudson had nothing to do with this matter, she left after handing over the keys, while Sherlock opened the door with John and Lestrade, entered the living room, and then came to one of the rooms.

This room is indeed exactly the same as the background in the text message picture sent by the pink mobile phone, but there is still one difference, that is, a pair of white sneakers are placed on the ground.

None of the three people present would forget that the other party was a prisoner who planted a bomb and blew up a house, so they were extra cautious when approaching the pair of sneakers.

Since Sherlock didn't like others to have access to the evidence before himself, in order to prevent some evidence that could have been detected from being destroyed, John and Lestrade stood aside, and Sherlock lay down on the ground, carefully observing the sneakers.

However, before Sherlock touched the sneakers, the pink phone rang.Sherlock somewhat hated that the call interrupted his performance, but he had to answer it because it might be a call from the prisoner.

After connecting with the blocked caller number, Sherlock said hello, and then a woman's panting sound came from the other end of the phone unexpectedly, and he listened carefully to what she said next, Only then did I realize that she was not panting hard, but because of choking, because she was crying.

"Hello, handsome guy." The woman's voice was full of fear, and her tone of voice trembled because of this.She was a little out of breath, and it was obvious that she was in a state of desperation.

"Who are you?" Sherlock analyzed and deduced everything that might have happened to the other party on the phone, and then asked tentatively, trying to get more clues.

"I've sent you a little puzzle, so I'm saying hello to you." The woman didn't answer Sherlock's words, but stated her purpose.

Sherlock felt something was wrong.

Of course, Sherlock was not the only one who felt something was wrong, but also John, and Lestrade.

There is a slight gap between the woman's tone and what she said, as if someone threatened the woman and asked her to read the letters on a piece of paper completely.

To confirm this, Sherlock asked again: "Who are you? Why are you crying?"

The other party told him: "I'm not crying, I'm typing, and this idiot is just reading it out."

It seems that Sherlock's guess is right, the woman on the other side of the phone is not the prisoner himself, but a victim threatened by the prisoner.

But Sherlock was very excited, he told himself: "The game is on!"
