After a morning of torment, Lestrade was exhausted physically and mentally.Sherlock dug him out of bed early in the morning, and happily introduced him to a "brilliant and rare" female assistant, John Watson's wife Mary Watson.Originally, Lestrade wanted to refuse, really, because it was too absurd, but Mycroft Holmes' eloquence was really overwhelming. When Lestrade came to his senses, he and Hua Mrs. Sheng was already sitting in the speeding carriage, heading towards the scene of the crime.

"...Mrs. Watson, I don't think you have read our investigation report?" Lestrade took a long time to hold back a sentence, "We have investigated everything related to the case in detail, I think No one is more expert at this than the detectives at Scotland Yard..."

Mary looked at him in bewilderment: "Then there's no need for Mr. Holmes to invite me, is there?"

"..." Lestrade felt a knife stabbed in his chest.

"Ah, actually, I think we can talk about the clues we have so far," Mary said softly, "After all, I have never done similar work before... Mr. Holmes told me to see with my own eyes, Use your own brain to organize. Do you mind if I give my opinion first?"

"……do not mind."

"—Great, then let's sort out the timeline so far." Mary happily clapped her hands with her fan and said, "One night three days ago, at about ten o'clock, the neighbor's wife heard There were screams and yells at Solo's house, and Jeffrey left the house in a huff. About an hour later, Jeffrey showed up at Mr. Kit's residence two miles away, and had a conversation with Mr. Kitt. After some unfriendly exchanges, he returned to his neighborhood and spent about two hours in a tavern about a mile from Solo's. Dozens of people can testify that he had been drinking in there, And refused to talk to others. At two o'clock in the morning, Jeffrey returned home, and the neighbor's wife was awakened by his roar. From the words she heard twice, it can be concluded that Miss Broad should be between his departure from home In the meantime, Tom Kitt got a boat ticket for the next morning from his friend, and Sarah Constance climbed to the window sill in the middle of the night to pick a grass, almost from It fell off... Ah, and then in the early hours of the next morning, around five o'clock the morning before yesterday, someone went for a morning run in the woods about a mile from Jeffrey's house and found Miss Broad's skeleton. Hours later, after confirmation by Jeffrey himself, the deceased was identified as Eleanor Broad, right?"

Lestrade nodded.

"After I heard these things, my first thought was, Miss Constance is really weird, why did she climb up the window sill to weed in the middle of the night?" Mary said, "Mr. Holmes also agrees with my question." Well, it happened that Miss Constance lived near my house, so I paid a special visit to their house, and then I got a piece of news - she went to the window sill after hearing Mr. Kit's signal that night. Mr. Kit wanted to inform She ran away together the next day, but was accidentally discovered by her family and almost fell from the window, so she couldn't go anywhere now."

Lestrade: "...but what does that prove?"

"Prove that Mr. Kit isn't the murderer, Inspector. It's at least three miles from my house to this wood. How did he manage to kill a man and run back and forth in an hour?"

Lestrade felt as if his head was full of mush: "...But he may have killed someone before Jeffrey returned home, which is still within the identified death time..."

"Yes, there is such a possibility, but why would he do this?" Mary asked, "After getting the ticket, his first reaction was to inform Miss Constance to run away with him. It's enough to see who he really loves. And knowing that elopement is hopeless, he immediately ran three miles away and killed Miss Broad who loved him? Sorry, I can't see the point in this logic……"

"However, we have ruled out the possibility of a stranger committing the crime. Maybe Tom is trying to trick Miss Broad into giving him some money so that he can still get away with it after he leaves..."

"Don't you think this logic is even more unreasonable, Inspector? If he wants to do this, wouldn't it be better to just kidnap Eleanor and elope? Eleanor will definitely take all of Jeffrey's belongings away without hesitation." Yes, and if Tom wants to kill Eleanor, he only needs to push gently on the boat." Mary said, "Eleanor will not refuse, because the matter between her and Tom has just been discovered by Jeffrey. , the two had a big fight, and she still loves Tom so much, how could she not want to go with him?"

"But you forget, Mrs. Watson, the evidence we have shows that the murderer may have planned to do this for a long time, otherwise how did he manage to dispose of the body seamlessly? Perhaps he was ready To kill Eleanor, or these things were originally prepared for Jeffrey, but they were only used on Eleanor."

"This seems to be an explanation, but the murderer put the body in such an obvious place. He knew that he would be suspected, but he didn't abscond immediately. Instead, he hid at home foolishly, waiting for the boat to leave early in the morning. ... Well, maybe some people still want to believe it, my gardener and maids are quite good at it." Mary shrugged.

Lestrade: "..." I felt like I was stabbed in the chest again.

Starting from the scene of the crime, Mary carefully re-searched the searched areas of Scotland Yard from the beginning to the end, and from time to time she packed something in a bag or made a note in a notebook.Finally at noon, Lestrade couldn't wait to invite Mary to have a lunch and take a rest, but Mary said that she was very enthusiastic about her work, and she was not hungry at all, so Lestrade could solve it by himself first, and then Find her at Jeffrey's house.

So Lestrade lent her the carriage, and walked to a nearby hotel for lunch.But unfortunately, before he reached the hotel, it began to rain, and the rain became heavier after a while, so Lestrade had to temporarily run to the eaves of a grocery store to take shelter from the rain.

As soon as he stood firm, he saw a familiar figure rushing towards him with the rain.

Lestrade: "..."

Grayson: "..."

"Inspector Lestrade... What a coincidence," Grayson said first, with a dry tone, "Are you hiding from the rain here too?"

Lestrade: "...Yeah, the damn weather. Kinda surprised to see you here, Sergeant Grayson, I thought you were supposed to be at Scotland Yard interrogating your convicts?"

Grayson's tone became even more dry: "...Actually, something went wrong with the case, and I'm leading people to restart the investigation."

Lestrade: "...what a coincidence."

There was silence under the eaves for a while, only the sound of raindrops falling could be heard.After a few minutes, Grayson said, "I apologize for what I said this morning, Lestrade...I probably understand how you feel now."

Lestrade's voice became dry: "... what?"

Grayson: "It's... that... about the assistant... well, I actually have a assistant now... the housekeeper of Colonel Moriarty's house, Mrs. Kindy."

Lestrade: "..."

Silence continued under the eaves.

After about a few minutes, the sudden rain stopped.

Lestrade moved his feet and asked, "So...Mr. Moriarty, what order did you give?"

Grayson: "...re-investigate everything we've investigated."

Lestrade: "..."

Grayson: "..."

I don't know why, but my chest suddenly doesn't hurt so much~

In the evening Mrs. Kindy returned to Conduit Street.After dinner, she began to report to Moriarty and the others what she got today.

Like Mary, Mrs. Kindy went to the scene of the crime first, but then she did not rush to visit witnesses, but began to investigate the whereabouts of the meat on the corpse, carefully inspected the surrounding environment, and drew a lot of sketches.

Moriarty didn't care about the identity of the killer, and simply ruled it out to conclude that only Jeffrey was the prime suspect.Even if he finds a perfect alibi for himself, all lies can always find a breakthrough.The biggest breakthrough of Jeffrey's lies is the way the corpses were handled. As long as we can understand how he handled the minced meat and internal organs, the case will be clear.

And Mrs. Kindy's opening remarks were: "Although I don't know how he did it, the murderer must be Jeffrey Solo."

Grayson opened his mouth, but said nothing.Moriarty showed interest and motioned for her to continue.

"I checked the scene of the crime carefully, and found that it was not done by someone with agility, as Scotland Yard had previously speculated. Instead, it was probably done by someone with a fear of heights." Mrs. Jindy Straightforward and authentic, without taking Grayson's embarrassment into consideration, "The corpse was untied by someone cutting off the rope, and only the remnants of the rope wrapped around the trunk remained on the tree, but I asked Inspector Grayson to make sure that this picture You can now see, gentlemen, that the body was hoisted by ropes through the eye openings, and that the branch around which the ropes were attached was about ten feet above the ground. I first found that something was wrong with the branch, so I climbed up and drew this picture-yes, there are many marks of injury on the branch, judging from the degree of damage to the bark, it was just a few days It was caused by the friction of the rope before."

Grayson couldn't help but said, "I'm sorry, I didn't intend to interrupt you, but how can you tell that it was caused by the act of hanging the corpse a few days ago? I think it may also be caused by small animals or natural factors."

"Dear Sergeant Grayson, don't underestimate the professionalism of a housekeeper." Mrs. Jindy said kindly, "The gardener of the Moran family never dared to be lazy. Do you want to know why?"

Moran immediately said, "Oh, I'm not showing off, but Sheriff, Mrs. Kindy has a lot more knowledge than you do."

Grayson: "..."

"—After discovering this, I began to pay attention to other traces left on the trunk." Mrs. Jin Di said, "It has just rained today, and there are not many traces left on the trunk, but it can be seen that only A person had climbed that tree, and it was a woman, and it was today. I deduced that it was Mrs. Watson's tracks, so I dropped my attention and looked for something else. Then I checked the rope, and the skeleton was brought down. The knife that cut the rope was a very sharp knife, but the knife with which the murderer cut the end of the rope was not. I think it was a boning knife, and it was made of Miss Broad's body. No longer sharp... There is still a dark red blood stain on the end of the rope. But what I am more concerned about is a frayed mark on the rope. This is a new rope. It has never been used before, but the above But the fibers were damaged. I measured it with my own hands and found that it was about [-] centimeters long. This length is a bit noticeable. The murderer obviously used a rope to tie something rough. And I immediately thought of stone."

Grayson said in surprise: "Stone!"

"Yes, I stood under the tree and took a casual look, and saw a stone in the grass not far away. It was just as big as I imagined. I picked it up and saw that the grass underneath was broken. Quite a few, but not quite dry, so it must have been dumped here within a few days. So what is there to doubt about the matter? Apparently Mr. Solo tied it to the end of a rope, threw it over the treetops, and Miss Broad's body is hung up."

"...So, there are rubbing marks on the treetops, and only Jeffrey has a fear of heights." Grayson murmured, confused, "But it doesn't make sense, Jeffrey has so many alibi ..."

"Save these things for tomorrow - worry about them," Moriarty laughed happily, "there's only one thing you need to think about now, Sheriff...to write an article that fits your 'superior vision, great wisdom'" Report the case."
