Erin frowned, lost in thought.

In the shadow of his grandfather, Sherlock Holmes III, who has a noble title and a large family property, is used to seeing the dark side of human nature although he walks in various cases.

But she obviously didn't see what London, or even the lowest society in the whole of Britain, looked like.

How many fates have been crushed by the torrent of the industrial revolution.

Among them, the fate of the underprivileged children is the most vulnerable.Some of them have not even seen a day of light and hope before being crushed by the wheel of the times.

When the traces of resentment and despair gathered together, something terrible was quietly born in the darkness...

Under the command of Irene, Xu Ming fully did his job as an assistant, and took photos of the suspicious places on the scene and saved them one by one.

Erin then offered to go to the deceased's home.

The police may think that the deceased was killed by the artificial river, but they only searched the room roughly, but found no valuable clues except for making the room more messy.

But under Irene's keen observation, some clues were soon found.

"This is the coat that the deceased changed yesterday... This is the hair found on the bed of the deceased..."

"Is there a problem, sir?"

Detective George was a little confused.

Erin looked at Xu Ming.

"Continue, continue life! Xu Min! Your oriental names are so difficult to pronounce! I'd better call you Watson!"

A black line suddenly appeared on Xu Ming's forehead, and he blurted out a complaint.

"Then you might as well call me Huadian."

Irene immediately followed Xu Ming's words and said:

"Then such a happy decision! Hua Dian!"

Seeing the smile in the corner of Irene's eyes, Xu Ming didn't know that he had been tricked.

Before Xu Ming objected, Irene immediately brought the topic to the case.

"If I remember correctly, the body of the deceased should be wearing pajamas."

She snapped her fingers and pointed at Xu Ming.

"Huadian, please show the photo of the deceased."

Xu Ming opened his mouth, and it was not easy to have a fit at this time, so he took out his mobile phone and called up the photo of the deceased.

Although the clothes had been unraveled, draped randomly on the dead body, and covered with muddy water, it could still be seen that the dead body was wearing pajamas.

"And this hair was torn off by someone!"

Eileen held up the hair as she spoke.

Xu Ming went over to take a look, and found that the roots of the hair were faintly stained with blood red. It was obvious that the hair was torn from the scalp by someone.

"According to these clues, it can be inferred that the deceased returned home first, and had changed into pajamas to prepare for a rest, but was forcibly taken away from home.

This room is the first crime scene! "

Irene's reasoning is well-founded, and people can't help but want to applaud her.

"Even if we know that the first site is here, what's the use?"

Xu Ming asked curiously.

"It is obvious that the victim can be killed here. Why did the murderer take the risk of being witnessed by others, and deliberately took the victim to an artificial river one kilometer away to commit the murder?"

Erin asked back with piercing eyes. "If we can know the inside story, maybe we can further infer the murderer's law of committing the crime, and then catch him!"

As Irene said, she turned to look at Detective George.

"Have any inquiries been made to the residents of the vicinity, especially this building?"

Detective George had a troubled look on his face.

"It is already being done, but the residents of this building said that they did not hear any movement last night, and the nearby residents have not found any witnesses for the time being."

There was a look of surprise on Eileen's face.

"Didn't anyone in this building and the nearby residents notice anything unusual last night?

The deceased had obviously struggled violently before being kidnapped. "

As Irene said, she stomped the floor with neither light nor heavy strength, but shouts and curses came from downstairs immediately, and the sound directly penetrated the floor and came up.

It can be seen that the sound insulation effect of this building is so poor, there is a slight noise, which can be heard up, down, left, and right. If the deceased struggles, there will be a huge commotion.

Detective George shook his head.

"We have sent police officers to question every household in this building, but their answers are all the same, and they have not heard any similar screams or screams."

Irene couldn't help putting the nail of her index finger into her mouth and biting it lightly.

"This is unreasonable! Did the murderer use ecstasy?"

Detective George showed a look of helplessness.

Erin showed a little unwillingness on her face.

"What about the distance from this building to the artificial river? The distance is a full kilometer. The murderer is holding a person who is over 1 meters tall and weighs 6 kilograms. It is impossible that there are no witnesses!"

Detective George shook his head anyway.

"We have sent police officers to inquire along the way, and no one has seen any suspicious persons yet."

Irene bit her nails subconsciously, with a pensive expression on her face, and said to herself:

"Could it be that the deceased was put into a box or a carriage after being stunned?"

Xu Ming's lips moved, but he hesitated to speak.

Things that are very troublesome to humans are not a problem at all to the wraiths.

Maybe Little Jack Lolita has a way to easily transform a big living person directly to the artificial river.

The investigation has once again stalled.

Unwilling, Irene searched Rose's house carefully, but did not find any important clues.

Seeing that it was approaching noon, Irene had no choice but to announce that she would temporarily abandon the investigation.

Back to 221B Baker Street is almost 1:[-].

After lunch, Irene went into the study again, and began to look through the clues and files carefully, hoping to find new clues.

Xu Ming sat aside, silently watching her busy.

After a while, when Xu Ming was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Irene yelling excitedly.

"So it is! I understand!"

Xu Ming was awakened by her cry.

"What's wrong? Have you discovered something new?"

"Of course!"

Erin pointed excitedly at the map of London pinned on the board.

"The answers are all in this map!"

Xu Ming immediately approached curiously.

"This is the first crime scene!"

As Irene spoke, she tapped a point on the map with a pen, and marked the word 'gluttony' beside it.

"This is the second one."

"This is the third one."

Erin marked two locations on the map one after another, marking 'laziness' and 'greedy'.

Then she directly connected the three locations with a line, and a huge equilateral triangle appeared on the map.

"What about the rest?"

At this moment, Xu Ming's curiosity was also aroused.

Erin didn't answer directly, she continued to mark the 'jealousy' she discovered today on the map.

But 'jealousy' has two dots, corresponding to two scenes.

One of the points is just below the triangle. Xu Ming looked at the map and found that this point is located beside the artificial river.

Xu Ming still didn't see any pattern, but Irene drew two small circles at the same length as the other two sides of the triangle, and put a question mark next to each.

Then connect the two small circles with the points on the artificial river to form an equilateral triangle with the same size as the previous equilateral triangle but with the opposite direction.

Two triangles, one positive and the other negative, are interlaced and stacked together, forming a huge six-pointed star shape.

Erin's pen didn't stop.

She directly used a large circle to connect the six locations together.

"Isn't this a six-pointed star!?"

Xu Ming said in surprise.

"That's right, it's a six-pointed star!

That's why the murderer didn't choose to kill her directly in the residence of 'Jealousy', but took her hostage to the artificial river before doing it!

Just to make the trajectory of this hexagram more perfect!

The murderer is not killing people indiscriminately, there is an obvious pattern!

Our opponent is a sane, cunning lunatic! "

Erin said excitedly.She seemed to see the case as a huge challenge.

Xu Ming thought of another point and brought it up.

"But what we deduced before, isn't it the 'seven deadly sins', there is one more..."

Before Xu Ming finished speaking, Irene directly picked up the pen and poked heavily in the center of the hexagram.
