[Shenxia Tongren] My dear brothers and adults

As soon as Dr. Watson finished reading the blog, Sherlock received a call from Lestrade, saying that Miss Agatha Nolan's last foothold had been found.

After Sherlock heard it, he looked at the date and said, "It took you more than a week to find out?!"

"You asked me to track down an experienced agent, Sherlock. I had to report to my superiors and send more people to track down her multiple hidden footholds. She appeared in one of her footholds yesterday. There"

"Your so-called reporting to the top doesn't mean telling Mycroft directly?" Sherlock said, obviously there is one or even several footholds that you haven't tracked down, otherwise how could she disappear for so many days? !

"That's also a way." Lestrade replied, with a sense of calmness.

Sherlock curled his lips when he heard the words, not too unhappy, and said: "I see, I'll be here in a while. What's the address?"

In less than half an hour, Sherlock and Watson appeared at the corner of an alley in the East End of London. Officer Donovan saw them, opened his mouth, and said, "Um, Sherlock? And Dr. Watson .”

When Sherlock passed by her, he nodded to her and said as before: "Good morning, Officer Donovan." Then he continued to flick his coat, and he had already jumped far away.

After seeing Lestrade, Sherlock first asked, "How is it?"

"I reviewed the surveillance video of the last ten days in the vicinity. She came here last night, and left soon after, wearing a black cloak and leaving in the dark. It's a pity... ..."

"You lost it?"

"Yes, we've sent our best people."

"Well, don't expect much."

Lestrade tilted his head angrily, finally sighed, and said, "Such a great detective, what do you see?"

"You mean she came yesterday?"

"Yes?"

"How long did it take you to leave?"

"About an hour."

"Transportation?"

"No. She came on foot."

"Very good, back up, back up, back up." Sherlock began to bow his head after driving away everyone standing beside him. Fortunately, he took care of the old Mrs. Hudson who helped him wash and iron the clothes this time. Lie directly on the slippery ground with your coat on.

"Okay, we can go in now."

"Okay." Lestrade answered, leading the way up the stairs, into a small, empty house that looked like a dusty, dark attic.On the only table inside was an almost used 95% ethanol solution, and a large amount of used cotton cotton was stained with blood.

Sherlock handed the alcohol bottle to Dr. Watson and said, "What do you see?"

Dr. Watson looked at the label on it and said: "If what is written on it is true, 95% ethanol has almost no disinfection effect, and may have a little pain-relieving effect."

"Yes, then why did she do this?" Sherlock said, "We can know that she was injured, and the injury was not serious. From the footprints downstairs, she can only go around a small puddle, but She didn't jump over like ordinary people. However, she didn't go to the hospital for medical treatment, she just had a simple bandage and alcohol analgesia, otherwise there wouldn't be so much blood on the cotton. Oh, no! No!" Sherlock seemed to suddenly Thinking of something, he asked, "What time is it now?"

"It's only 10 o'clock in the morning." Lestrade said after looking at his watch.

"Ten o'clock in the morning, fortunately, fortunately." Sherlock said a few words, "John, let's go."

"What?" Dr. Watson asked in surprise, "Now?"

"Yes, right now, I'll tell you when I get back." Sherlock said, picked up two balls of cotton, stuffed them together with the alcohol bottle into the bag, turned around and left.

Seeing this, Dr. Watson smiled apologetically at Lestrade, and ran away with Sherlock.

After returning home, Sherlock began to test the physical evidence he brought back, and he didn't finish until three o'clock in the afternoon.After writing the last note on the experiment record, he said, "John, what do you think if I say I'm going to invade Charles Magnuson's office tonight?"

"Are you crazy?!" Dr. Watson said in surprise when he heard the words, and then lowered his voice and said, "Think about it, what if you let him catch you? Then you will be at his mercy. "

"I know, but I can't help it." Sherlock said, "Come and see this. I just finished the bacterial culture and the white blood cell test."

Dr. Watson saw the white blood cells above 300, and Staphylococcus aureus in the blood, and said, "Severe sepsis?!"

"Yes, she is struggling to survive, but she didn't go to the hospital, what do you think she will do?"

Dr. Watson said with a trembling voice, "Revenge."

Sherlock nodded and said, "I also think this is the most likely reason."

"Sherlock, are you going to stop her?"

"To be honest, I don't want to stop her, but I think it's better for her to go back to the United States intact, and then we can send Magnuson to the dock."

Dr. Watson smiled and said, "I think so too."

"Okay, so, let's plan now." Sherlock said, pulled out the floor plan of Appledo's office building on the computer, and said, "Magnason's office is located on the top floor of this building. , We are separated from there by 14 security lines, two of which are still illegal, and there are private elevators, which can only be driven by Magnuson ID cards."

"Very tight."

"It does, but there will always be human error."

"what?"

"The security here eats around 7 p.m. and changes around that time. This is when the security is most lax and we can break in at that time."

"that's all?"

"Of course, I still have to make some preparations." Sherlock stood up and went out, walked to the door, turned around and said, "Wait for me downstairs at 7 o'clock in the evening."

Before going out, Watson put on a pair of silent and easy-to-exercise shoes, brought a pistol, and of course two pairs of medical gloves. Since it was an illegal break-in, it was best not to leave fingerprints.

Dr. Watson went downstairs to the building, wandered around for a while, and saw Sherlock approaching briskly, and said, "I'm all ready, do I have a gun?"

"Yes. And this," said Dr. Watson, handing him the gloves.

"No, no, we don't need this."

"Ok?"

"I have my own way." He said that he walked to Magnuson's special elevator openly, checked the time, and then used a scrap card to swipe the security guards of the entire building.

After listening to Sherlock's explanation, Dr. Watson suddenly felt that this so-called security seemed to be easily breached. Afterwards, he saw a scene that made him want to take pictures, or make him want to beat Sherlock up. scene.

Sherlock took out the ring from his pocket, looked affectionately at Miss Janet at the other end of the camera and said, "Let me in."

Dr. Watson saw it from the side, and felt that Sherlock was so damn gentle at this time, and his tone was even more damn sincere!No more, control it, I want to beat someone even more! !

After the elevator door opened, Sherlock pulled Dr. Watson into the elevator room without speaking.Dr. Watson asked: "You proposed to a girl for breaking into Magnuson's office?"

"Yes, that's what I do."

"You must be crazy, she loves you."

"I know."

"Well, you always know everything."

"Put your moral issues aside, Doctor," Sherlock said. "I'll do my best to make it up to her when it's over."

"For example?"

"She can keep this ring. I didn't inherit it. I bought it separately."

"A diamond ring doesn't make up for a relationship."

"Then I can only say sorry," Sherlock said.

After going upstairs, what the two saw was: Miss Janet lying on the ground after being knocked unconscious, and the bald bodyguard of Magnuson, Dr. Watson was very impressed with him, because he had tried to Search him and Sherlock.

After Sherlock stepped forward to check Miss Janet's situation, he said, "Ether anesthesia. It seems that she is not an indiscriminate murderer, very good. I hope I still have a chance." He said, handing Miss Janet to Watson, said; "Take good care of her, doctor."

Sherlock said, and went straight up the stairs. When he got to the door, he had already heard the conversation in the room.

"You can't do this, you can't, as long as I pull the alarm, security will come. If you leave now, I can pretend nothing happened."

"The man who left us stranded in England turned out to be such a coward?!"

"Get out of here, miss." Magnuson's voice was choked and trembling.

Sherlock pushed open the door, went in and saw Miss Nolan's slender back, she was pointing a gun at Magnuson lying on the ground, he said quickly: "Miss Nolan, why don't you want to wait for me?" ?”

She turned her head, still pretty and charming, but her face was pale, her cheeks were as red as makeup, and her eyes were full of tears, but she said firmly, "It's too late, Mr. Holmes, it's too late."

"No ma'am, put the gun down, do you still want to go back to America? Go back like a hero?"

Miss Nolan stared at him for a while, her eyes fluttered, she hesitated, but she finally said firmly, "Stay there, Mr. Holmes, please stay there."

"No." Sherlock took a step forward, and then heard a gunshot, felt his thighs burn, as if being scalded by a soldering iron, his knees softened, and he knelt down on the ground, and then saw Miss Nolan on the ground. The front and back of his head hurt, probably because he was hit with the butt of a gun, and his eyes dimmed.

He tried to pull himself together, looked up and saw Miss Nolan's eyes: sad, desperate and determined, and then he fell into darkness.
