The hotel probably once had its glory days too, with murals in the lobby depicting nymphs playing with Pan and elegant Ionic columns for decoration.But the whole lobby looks gloomy and deserted, and the previous glory cannot save the current decline.The waiter was listlessly behind the service desk, and when he saw Hypatia's group coming, he smiled enthusiastically and said, "Good afternoon, three, how can I help you?"

Mycroft locked Sherlock's credit cards, and Sherlock refused to go back, so he had to withdraw the remaining 3000 US dollars. If he saved it, he could survive for half a year.Half a year later, Mycroft would calm down even if he was angry again, and he was not willing to abuse his brothers and sisters.So they went to this old hotel in the city.

Hypatia looked at the faint yellow color on the Ionik column and wanted to change to another hotel.But think about it, the budget didn't speak, just looked at Sherlock, with only one meaning in his eyes: Let's go home, let's go home...

Sherlock pretended not to see it and said to the waiter, "A suite."

"Okay, the room number is 1402, 20 dollars per day, there are two rooms in it, I hope you have a good time." The waiter saw that they were almost wearing brand-name clothes, and the woman's earrings were very dazzling, and even the suitcase looked They are all expensive, and I feel strange, why do rich people live here?Could it be that he was fleeing?Her thinking has gone to blockbusters such as Mission: Impossible and 007.So can we see the shootout here!This handsome guy is so handsome, he must look better than the latest 007 when he fights.

After entering the elevator, Hypatia looked at the stains on the ground and smelled a smell similar to body odor. She couldn't help it anymore and said, "Sherlock, I don't understand why we can't go home? I can't stand being here." Have a day!"

"Human potential is infinite, you will always be able to bear it, my good sister."

"Doctor Watson!" Hypatia looked at Dr. Watson with pleading eyes, but she didn't act coquettishly, just watched him blink and blink.

"Ahem, it's rare that Sherlock is willing to go out." Doctor Watson said with a smile, what is this, the living environment in Afghanistan was ten times worse than this.

Sister-in-law, can you be more virtuous? !Hypatia felt like crying at the moment.

The elevator has also arrived at this moment, and Sherlock and Watson are holding hands, dragging their luggage out, and Hypatia can only follow.

The corridor outside the elevator was also gloomy. Even though it was still in the afternoon, the sun shone in, but the weak sunlight could not drive away the coldness that had accumulated over the years.When they passed by, some old residents stuck their heads out of the room to see who had just moved in, and then felt that the newcomers seemed to be swans mixed in with the chickens, and they were out of place. These rich people ran to What are you doing here? !The eyes of the down-and-out old residents made Hypatia very uncomfortable. She could only try her best to straighten her back and walk with a shelf. She seemed to see some residents just now who seemed to be taking too much drugs, and they were addicted to drugs. It's so exciting for a gentleman to live on the same floor!

After finally entering the room, she felt sweat on her back, but seeing that there were only two whistling fans in the room, she almost fainted, walked to the window, opened it, and looked at the living room of the suite. It feels like the decor of the 80s, simple and plain.

Sherlock and Watson have already entered one room hand in hand, and Hypatia naturally went to the other room, and let's arrange the luggage first.

Entering the room, I saw a big bed, but the sheet was a little yellow, and there were marks from the cigarette butts on it. She sat down, but it was still quite soft, so I could barely accept it; when I opened the closet, it was almost Coughing because of the musty smell and smoke, I quickly closed it again. I wouldn't put clothes in it anyway.

Then she went to the bathroom to have a look. There was still hair in the bathtub, so she quickly made a decision to only shower and not take a bath when she lived here, but the sink was still clean.

After looking around like this, Hypatia secretly decided, no matter what, after three days, I will pack Sherlock back to England!

In the evening, I went to the restaurant to have an unknown dinner, and was blinded again by Sherlock and Watson. Hypatia returned to the room, and when he took a shower, he found that even the tap water smelled weird? !After taking a shower quickly, I went out to get a glass of water. At this time, a text message came, it was Sherlock, and Hypatia rolled her eyes secretly. She saw that the content was too scary when she saw it. He said: "Don't drink water, this water has soaked the corpse. sh"

She was stunned for a while, and didn't even notice that the phone fell on the table. After a while, she heard a knock on the door before she realized it. When she opened the door, she saw Sherlock in a dressing gown and said, "What's wrong? Don't be scared? Just now I knocked on the door several times but there was no response."

"Sherlock, how do you know that the water soaked the corpse?"

"Experience, I have smelled the water that soaked the corpse more than once. Although the smell is very weak, I am familiar with it."

After hearing this, Hypatia's face turned pale, thinking that he just took a bath with water, wishing to peel off his skin and plant a new one, looked at Sherlock with tears and said: "Brother, it's a good time this time!" You've made me miserable!" The tone of voice was so miserable that it made people cry.

Sherlock stepped forward and kissed her forehead and said, "Hey, don't cry, I'll buy you a new bottle of perfume later, okay?"

"You treat me like a child!" Hypatia said angrily.

"How could it be? Well, I'm going to notify the police." X Sherlock said, "Get dressed and pack your luggage, this place is unacceptable." After finishing speaking, he went out again, leaving hope Parthia looked at his back alone with his eyes almost breathing fire.

After Sherlock came out, he called 911 and said, "A murder occurred at the Silver Hotel at 230 DeGrand Avenue."

"Did you see the murderer at work?"

"No."

"The corpse?"

"No."

"Then the stench?"

"No, but I know that a murder has happened. The tap water in the water pipe soaked the corpse. I knew it as soon as I smelled it. If this is considered a normal death, rather than an abandoned corpse, then I should be concerned about why your water pipes It will be connected to the cemetery or the morgue."

"It's ridiculous."

"Oh, you were chewing gum before answering the phone, so you can't speak clearly now, oh, it's almost time for you to get off the night shift, right? But you also drink too much wine, and your throat is rough, you should control it Bar."

"Who are you?! How do you know?!"

"This is not important, the important thing is to send someone here quickly, there is a murder here!"

"Dream, go to the grave!" After finishing speaking, the operator hung up the phone, so he wanted us to call the police for no reason, and it didn't cost money to send the police? !It is clear that a person has nothing to do and finds the police for entertainment!

Sherlock gritted his teeth and said, "What the hell kind of service attitude is that! Those idiots at Scotland Yard are better than them."

Dr. Watson smiled helplessly beside him. Your brother is the British government, and the boss of Scotland Yard is your sister-in-law. Can their service attitude be bad? !The [-]th official is the most annoying thing. He doesn't understand human relations at all, even if he understands, he won't bother.But let me take care of these things.

Sherlock thought for a while and said, "I have to ask Hypatia, what is the phone number of the FBI director." Then he knocked on Hypatia's door.

Hypatia came out with a pale face, gave him a cool look and said, "What's the matter?"

Seeing this, Dr. Watson asked cautiously, "Hypatia, aren't you really scared? Are you going to the hospital?"

"Dead people don't scare me, I'm just disgusted, vomit..." Hypatia said, remembering that he took a bath with that water, turned around and ran back to the bathroom, vomited upside down, and came out after a while, just His face turned pale again.

Sherlock asked her fbi's phone number, and Hypatia said, "Let me call."

"Huh?" So positive? !This unscientific!Generally speaking, shouldn't she be thinking about moving out?thought Sherlock.

Hypatia gritted her teeth and said, "Get this done as soon as possible, and we will move overnight!"

Sherlock understood that Hypatia was going to run away again, well, it was better for her to get angry at others than at herself.

Although Hypatia was in a rage, she was still polite and dignified when she spoke to the director of the FBI. Although the other party expressed doubts about the case, she still said that she would send someone to investigate.

When the FBI agents arrived, the first thing they investigated was the hotel's water supply system, and they found two sets, one was the water tower on the roof, and the other was connected to the city's tap water pipes.

After lifting the lid of the water tower overnight, they found a naked female corpse with her head down and her feet up at the bottom of the water tower.
