antique on the run

Lestrade questioned: "But you just said that this kind of situation should not happen to her at her age. If she is a teacher, then how do you explain it?"

"No, no, my friend, ah, really, you didn't understand what I meant." Saiwei pointed to the neck of the female corpse and said, "She is a teacher, but not you." The kind of teacher I usually think of, but in fact, she is a music teacher, and her veins are not because she talks too much, but because she wants to sing."

Because of singing, the use of facial muscles will be more frequent and laborious than ordinary teachers speaking in class, so the girl's neck will show raised blue veins at a young age.

"The search for missing persons is mainly targeting young girls who are alone in London, with no friends or family, renting a bachelor flat, working as a music teacher at a school, or as a private tutor teaching music."

Seve stood up, took off the rubber gloves he was wearing during the autopsy and threw them aside, "Go to each school and ask carefully if there are any young female music teachers who haven't shown up for more than two months. Also, go to the tutoring introduction Ask the intermediary service office if you have received similar complaints.”

His eyes fell on the corpse in the box again, and he left it as soon as he touched it, "Take it back for an autopsy, I want to know her exact age, and why the murderer opened her abdomen."

"Okay." Lestrade nodded, and directed the police detectives on the side to re-cover the wooden box and transport it back to Scotland Yard.

"Where are you going now? Back to Scotland Yard with me?" asked Lestrade.

"No, I still have something to do. Go back to Baker Street with John." Sewell rejected Lestrade's proposal, and directly pulled Qi Xiao away. "If you have any progress, go to Baker Street to find me."

He walked hurriedly, as if there was something really urgent, but after avoiding Lestrade's sight, he leaned against the wall and vomited out.

Qi Xiao sighed and patted Saiwei on the back lightly.

Seway almost vomited up the little potato salad he ate before, and retched there after the contents of his stomach were emptied. He scratched the brick wall with one hand, and tightly held Qi Xiao hands, and didn't stop until he vomited out even the sour bile.

"Hug, I'm sorry...Qi Xiao."

Seville took out a handkerchief from the pocket of his coat, and wanted to wipe his mouth, but he was stunned when he saw his hands, and put the handkerchief back into his pocket.

These hands have just touched the corpse, and although they are wearing gloves, they still have a disgusting feeling.

Seeing his movements, Qi Xiao didn't speak, but silently took out the handkerchief in his pocket, and gently wiped the dirt on the corner of Sai Wei's mouth.

"Thank you."

The two spoke to each other at the same time.

Saiwei raised his eyebrows in surprise. He thanked Qi Xiao for wiping his lips, but why did Qi Xiao thank him?

"Let's go, I'll help you go back." Qi Xiao put Sai Wei's arm on his shoulders, supported his waist by himself, and walked slowly along the road.

He didn't plan to call a carriage for the time being. With Sewei's current appearance, he was afraid that the constant bumps in the carriage would be more uncomfortable.

The two cuddled together, Sewei's face was flushed because of the violent vomiting, his whole body was limp and he had no strength, his feet were weak when he walked, and most of his weight was transferred to Qi Xiao's body.Passers-by who saw them thought it was a man carrying his drunken friend home.

However, for Qi Xiao, an adult man bears most of the weight of another adult man who is taller and stronger than himself. pressure.

"Saiwei, I'm not as fragile as you think." Qi Xiao suddenly said without thinking.

However, Saiwei understood what he meant, smiled, moved his head closer to Qi Xiao, and said softly and softly: "I know, you are a great expert in hunting antiques, there is no problem that you can't solve. But in my eyes, Qi Xiao, you are my lover, I hope you can stand up when you feel embarrassed, let me say what you don't want to say, and let me do what you don't want to do, just That's all."

In fact, during the autopsy process on the river bank just now, although Sherlock Holmes was the leader and the one who came to the conclusion, it was Watson who actually examined the corpse carefully. ——Because Watson was born as a military doctor and was used to seeing all kinds of corpses, Holmes was always at ease in entrusting him with the job of analyzing corpses.

Qi Xiao originally planned in this way. According to the original record in the fragment, after Holmes briefly observed the victim's condition, he would examine the corpse carefully, estimate the time of death, the crushed bones and the disappearance of the phalanx, and the condition of the female corpse. His abdomen had been cut open. All these details should come from Watson's mouth, and the conclusion was drawn after summarizing with Holmes.

However, Sever did not give him the opportunity to approach the corpse at all.

After Sewi asked him when the victim died, he originally wanted to step forward to replace Sewe to examine the body, but Sewe pushed him back, saying that he was too in the way standing here.

It sounded like Holmes' usual eccentric temper, but only Qi Xiao knew that Sai Wei was trying to isolate him from the corpse.

Such a horrific corpse, even Inspector Lestrade couldn't do it, just looking at it from a distance is scary, let alone touching the corpse by the wooden box.

Sai Wei did all the work that should have been done by Qi Xiao himself, and said all the things that should have been said by Qi Xiao. He protected Qi Xiao behind him, and it was like a nightmare for Qi Xiao to not touch these things. s things.

Qi Xiao had a very strange feeling in his heart. He was used to being alone. He did everything by himself. No matter how difficult or unacceptable the pursuit of antiques was, he never thought that one day he would be hunted down. Another person guards behind.

Seems like it feels...not bad.

There is also a faint touch, as if there is a warm current, which warms the whole heart.

Qi Xiao thought, love is really a wonderful and terrifying thing.

"Hurry up and take a shower and rest for a while." Qi Xiao sighed softly. Sewe had to recover quickly before Lestrade visited Baker Street again...

Obviously, they chose to walk back on two legs when they were supposed to take a carriage. In the end, the two of them went from dawn to dusk. By the time Mrs. Hudson opened the door for them, night had fallen and the streets and alleys of London were already brightly lit. .

"At this time, I miss my pair of wings very much. The wings of the god king are so fleeting." Lying on the big bed in the bedroom, Sai Wei's face was still a little pale, but he was in a good mood.

Qi Xiao came out of the bathroom, and while brushing his short dark blonde hair inherited from Watson, he asked, "Are you addicted to being a god king?"

"That's not true. Being a god king means that I have to be on guard against someone coveting my lover all the time. It's not a good feeling."

Qi Xiao threw the towel to wipe his hair on the back of the chair, and was pulled to the bed by Sai Wei when he walked by, "Where are you going, dear?"

Qi Xiao sat up, straightened his clothes, and said without expression: "You won't eat all night, I'll go down and find Mrs. Hudson for some bread."

Probably because what happened in the afternoon had brought too much impact on Sai Wei, he didn’t want to eat anything all night, he always felt that there was something blocked in his stomach and throat, he wanted to vomit but couldn’t get it out, he wanted to swallow but couldn’t swallow .

Sure enough, when he heard that Qi Xiao was going to get food, Saiwei frowned, "No, my dear, I don't want to eat anything, really." He tried to stop Qi Xiao, "I'll You're not hungry, so don't worry."

Qi Xiao didn't listen to his words at all, and insisted on ordering some croissants and two glasses of lemonade from Mrs. Hudson.

"Even if you're not hungry now, you have to eat some." He said, "Otherwise you won't have the strength to go out and run again tomorrow."

He picked up a croissant and took a bite first, as if demonstrating, and said, "If I can, I don't want to eat it either. But Sewi, we have to eat it."

Although he was just by the Thames River, Qi Xiao, who was protecting Saiwei, hadn't observed the victim's body at close range, but the distance...was not far away, so Qi Xiao actually felt uncomfortable in his stomach at the moment, but he It didn't show up.

Saiwei also knew that Qi Xiao was right, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath, sat up on the bed in a vigorous effort, picked up the cup and drank, his eyes fell on the basket of croissants, his face suddenly turned into bitter melon again, " Ah, this is really a huge challenge, Qi Xiao, I... um!"

Before he finished speaking, a small piece of bread was suddenly stuffed into his mouth.

"Eat it." Qi Xiao grabbed another piece and stuffed it into Sai Wei's mouth, "Do you think I will force you to eat it in this way?"

"No, I don't want to." Saiwei shook his head, and quickly swallowed the bread that Qi Xiao gave him. Qi Xiao looked relieved, thinking that Saiwei was finally willing to eat well, so he took another unbitten croissant The bag was about to be handed to Saiwei, but unexpectedly Saiwei leaned over and kissed his lips.

"Ok……!!"

Qi Xiao was startled, loosened his hands and rolled to the ground. He was hugged by Saiwei and pressed gently on the soft quilt. Saiwei let go of his lips and said in a low voice: "I hope more You force me to eat in this way..."

"You... uh!"

Qi Xiao opened his mouth to speak, but Saiwei didn't give him a chance at all, and kissed his lips again, blocking all his refusal words, with such strength that he didn't seem like a person who hadn't eaten dinner.

Qi Xiao originally wanted to refuse Sai Wei's approach, but suddenly the appearance of this man when he pushed himself behind him in the afternoon appeared in his mind, he closed his eyes, and finally softened his heart and let it go.

The basket of croissants was finally eaten, not by Qi Xiao, but in the dead of night, after Qi Xiao was so tired that he fell asleep, Sai Wei couldn't help being hungry and got up and ate it up.

He thought he would not be able to fall asleep and have nightmares, but the fact is that with Qi Xiao in his arms, Sai Wei slept until dawn, without any dreams.

Probably Qi Xiao is his good medicine...
