antique on the run

"Have you observed these two ladies carefully, Lestrade?" Sewell said to Lestrade, "Principal Connie Tan is about 60 years old, and her hair is well fixed with mousse." I can't see a single mess of hair. She's wearing a dark purple dress of an old style with flowered cuffs, a style that was in fashion about... ten years ago. Through her cuffs I can see her shirt underneath The sleeves are navy blue with single buttons, including her shoes, dark coffee-colored short boots, without any decorations, the uppers are polished and well maintained. It can be seen that she is a stable, rigorous, and even capable woman. Said some rigid lady."

Saiwei stretched his head and looked around while talking, as if waiting for something.

"And judging from your conversation at the beginning, she seems to be very worried about the negative impact that Natasha, who has resigned, will bring to the school, so she keeps trying to distance herself from Natasha. As the principal, such a lady is very Appropriate, but I believe that she will not be loved by everyone when she gets along with teachers."

No one likes this kind of leader who usually lives in peace, but pushes me away whenever something happens.

"When you were talking to that lady teacher, I carefully looked at the faces of the two of them. Principal Connitan kept her hands clenched on her chest, her lips were tightly pressed, and her back was straight. Her eyes were firmly fixed. Locked on the two of you, I didn't even notice that I was looking at her. I think she must be very worried that the lady teacher will say something that is not good for the reputation of the school."

"Fortunately, the lady teacher is very intelligent and knows what to say and what not to say in front of the principal, so she refuses to provide you with all the information and lies that she doesn't know anything."

Sai Wei pointed to her eyes, "She probably has never been questioned by police detectives, so she was very nervous when lying, and her eyes kept rolling. Later, she simply covered her eyes with a handkerchief to prevent me from seeing her emotions. , but her hand holding the handkerchief kept shaking, and finally betrayed her."

Seville narrowed his eyes, and concluded: "The lady teacher is indeed not telling the truth. She must also know some secrets that we don't know, but are of great significance to this case."

Lestrade said: "Since that's the case, what are we still doing here?"

Wasn't it their duty to pry Natasha's secrets out of her mouth?

It was easy to see what he was thinking, Sewell raised his eyebrows, and said: "What do you think I am doing here? Wasting time? Oh, Lestrade, my dear friend, you really don't know Don't know me. John wouldn't ask this question, do you think I'm someone who wastes time?"

"...No." Lestrade squeezed out the words through his teeth.

"Actually, we are waiting for someone here." Sai Wei turned his eyes to the path in the distance again, "Ah, look, she is here."

Just seen in the archives room, the deceased Natasha's former friend, the female teacher Dolly, was running along this path with small steps.

Dolly was startled when she saw the three of Saiwei coming out of the corner suddenly, and subconsciously wanted to turn around and run back, but was stopped by Qi Xiao who was the closest.

Qi Xiao said: "Miss, we have no malicious intentions, but I still have some questions to ask you."

Compared with the freak Sherlock Holmes and the always sullen Lestrade, Watson is more like a gentle and humble man, not to mention Qi Xiao's appearance bonus, so now Qi Xiao will come forward to stabilize Dolly's mood is obviously the most effective way.

Sure enough, after hearing Qi Xiao's words, Dolly's tense mood relaxed a lot. She looked up at this handsome man with blond hair and brown eyes, and she relaxed, and she was no longer so resistant. Slightly reddened.

Lestrade was very happy about this, because the insiders finally did not resist their questioning, but Sewe was very unhappy.

Why is there someone coveting his lover no matter which time and space he goes to!

"You...why did you know I would pass by here?" Dolly asked in a low voice.

The school is so big, and there is still a long distance from the archives here. It is hard for Dolly to believe that Sai Wei and the others are not here specially to wait for her.

Sai Wei went around to Qi Xiao, blocking Dolly's view of Qi Xiao, "Your index finger and the second joint of your middle finger have obvious calluses, which should be caused by holding a pen all year round. The back and side of your hand There are a little bit of blue and green paint, which should have been accidentally scratched when painting. Your cuffs, especially the right cuff, are narrowed. This is processed by yourself after buying the ready-made clothes, for the purpose of painting. Convenient and the paint doesn't get on the sleeves."

He said confidently: "Obviously, you are an art teacher, and just now you subconsciously looked at the wall clock on the wall three times in the archives room. I guess you probably have to go to class next, so you care about time so much. At the same time, When I came here, I saw the art teaching building at the end of this path, so I think there is an 80.00% chance that you will pass by here."

He ignored the shock on Dolly's face and continued: "I saw your school's schedule in the corridor, the next class will start in 10 minutes, am I right?"

Dolly was stunned for a while, then nodded, "Yes... yes, I have class in 10 minutes."

Sewei said without blinking: "Then, in these 10 minutes, can you tell us more about your friend Natasha?"

Dolly seemed to be hesitant, she lowered her head slightly, pursed her lips for a long time before whispering: "Principal, she didn't let me have any more contact with you."

She looked around quickly, making sure that the corner they were in would not be seen by anyone, and said, "But... But I also hope that you can quickly find the murderer who killed Natasha, so..."

She said so, but her eyes involuntarily glanced at Qi Xiao.

Saiwei frowned, stood up straight and covered Qi Xiao tightly, and said, "So you agreed to tell us, right?"

"Yeah." Dolly looked away reluctantly, and quickly said: "Actually, Nata resigned because she was pregnant. I remember... that seemed to be more than four months ago. One day, Nata suddenly told me She has a child in her belly, and she has been pregnant for three months, but the father of the child does not know yet. She is going to find the father of the child, and then they can get married. It's a good day for a rich lady."

This is really big news!

"She didn't tell anyone about this except me. You know, it's not good to talk about things like pregnancy before marriage, especially Nata is a teacher. If the parents of the students know about it, they will definitely think her There is a problem with the teacher's morality, and she will be kicked out of the school. But Nata said that her stomach has slowly swelled up, and she can't hide it. It seems... It seems that there are students who know about this, so they have to resign. to the father of her child."

"Did she tell you who the father is?" Sewi asked.

Dolly shook her head: "No, no. She just said that he was a tall and handsome man, who was gentle and considerate to her, rich, and gave her many gifts. She loved that man very much."

"Then have you seen those gifts?"

"I've seen it, but it's only a small part." Dolly thought for a while, then stretched out her hand and said, "I've seen her wearing a sapphire ring. The gem is not big, but it's very beautiful. She said it was given to her by her lover." Hers, yes... bought from Belgium, and a matching sapphire necklace, but I haven't seen it."

Natasha actually has a rich lover, this is another big news!

It's a pity that Dolly didn't know much about Natasha's lover. She was still in a hurry to go to class, poured out everything she knew like beans, and left in a hurry.

"She probably won't know more." Qi Xiao said after the three left St. Carmel Middle School.

Saiwei agreed: "Indeed, Natasha probably still has reservations about her best friend, and didn't tell her everything."

He suddenly remembered something and asked Lestrade: "By the way, has Natasha's autopsy report come out?"

Lestrade shook his head and said, "It wasn't there when I came, but it should be out now."

Sai Wei said: "Go back and have a look, I want to know why the abdomen of the deceased was cut open."

He paused, then stopped suddenly, "If I'm not wrong, the murderer probably took her child from her stomach."

Lestrade nodded and said: "Okay, I'll go back to Scotland Yard right away, you two should go to Natasha's rented house first, it's on Shed Ann Street. Police detectives have been sent over there to seal it off, It’s Ivanka, you’ll recognize it, just go in. I’ll be there soon.”

He sued Sewei and Qi Xiao, boarded the carriage, and hurried back to Scotland Yard to find the forensic doctor to check the situation.

"Finally we can live the two-person world of you and me again, Qi Xiao." Sai Wei stretched his waist, moved his shoulders and neck, and felt that he felt a lot more comfortable when Lestrade was not around him.

Although Qi Xiao didn't say anything, he let out a sigh of relief.When Lestrade is on the sidelines, he must always remember his identity as Watson. Although it is not as brain-intensive as Sewell playing Sherlock Holmes, it is not easy.

Being a wallflower who only listens and sees but doesn't speak is also a challenge...

The author has something to say:

All of you are small experts in reasoning, I am under a lot of pressure, hahaha

It's indeed related to the murder of love, but it's not as simple as killing the mistress in anger!

Let's make a hard guess based on the last sentence left by Conan Doyle at the end of the fragment!Reminders will appear one by one slowly~
