[Shenxia Tongren] My dear brothers and adults

The corpses in the water tower had already begun to rot. When Hypatia saw the fished out corpses, his face turned pale. Fortunately, he didn't drink any water, so he resisted the urge to vomit and watched the whole salvage process.

And Sherlock stood beside the corpse very excitedly, and when he saw the corpse coming out of the water, he stepped forward to check it. Dr. Watson had no choice but to keep up, and squatted down beside the corpse, not knowing whether he was looking at Sherlock or the corpse. .Hypatia watched from a distance, complaining in her heart, these two are really a perfect match, touching the dead in the morning and touching each other in the evening does not feel disgusting.

The FBI director standing next to Hypatia said: "Brother Ling is really extraordinary. We haven't received a report for so long. He knew it as soon as he came."

"Mr. Director is absurd."

"Is Mr. Holmes here on a case?"

"travel."

"Uh, alright." He looked at Hypatia in disbelief, choosing a hotel like this? !Is this a fetish? !

Hypatia also knows that this reason is hard to believe, but she can't just say that Irene Adler is also on the most wanted list in the United States. If the United States knows that Sherlock rescued someone, it will cause a lot of trouble. international disputes.

At this time, Sherlock had already returned and said to the director of the FBI: "Hello, Mr. Director, I am Sherlock Holmes, I believe you and my sister are already familiar with each other."

"Hello, Mr. Holmes, welcome to America. We have heard of your reputation across the ocean."

Sherlock smiled and said, "I hope to participate in this case."

"Of course, sir, it's our honor." The FBI director still knows a little about Sherlock, at least he made up for it before coming here, so he doesn't object to Sherlock's participation.

"Very well, then please ask your people to seal off the scene immediately, take the corpse and leave now, I will check the scene again after the sun comes out tomorrow."

"Ah?" The FBI chief obviously didn't expect that Sherlock's politeness would only last for 30 seconds, followed by a strong order.

"Don't understand? It's still 7 hours before dawn, and it's just right for the autopsy to come back and see the scene. Can we go?"

The poor director just showed that he was going to be angry, but he suppressed it very quickly. This guy is going to be needed in the investigation, so getting angry doesn't help, so he said: "Okay, Mr. Holmes."

Sherlock smiled appreciatively, and said, "A wise choice."

Before he was pissed off, the director quickly turned around and left, shouting at his subordinates: "Seal the scene and close the team!"

When leaving, the hotel owner stood at the door and said to Sherlock, "Hi, who is Mr. Holmes?"

"I am, what's the matter?" Sherlock raised his hand and said.

"Sir, I just heard about that girl. It's really terrible. Who would do such a thing?" Standing there, the kind-hearted, white-haired old man couldn't help covering his face and wiping his tears. Said: "I inherited this hotel from my parents, I hope it can continue, sir, I beg you to find out the truth as soon as possible, for that girl, and for this hotel, please."

Sherlock said calmly: "I will only do my best." Then he turned and left.

Sherlock and the others ran to the forensic laboratory of the Los Angeles Police Department, and then Hypatia found another five-star hotel.

Sherlock and the others went to the laboratory, and the corpse had already arrived earlier. He ran into the laboratory first, and the hem of his coat drew a beautiful arc.Dr. Watson yelled after him: "Sherlock, your coat."

Hearing this, Sherlock impatiently took off his scarf and coat and threw them behind, and Dr. Watson just caught them.Then Sherlock put on his gloves and rushed to the side of the mortuary table, looking at the white and swollen body soaked in water.The corpse was very cold, but it didn't stop his enthusiasm in the slightest. He almost lay down on it, watching inch by inch, from every spot on the corpse to every green spot.He opened the corpse's mouth, leaned closer to look at it for a while, then put his finger in, and pulled out a bunch of hair, which was still covered with white foam.Afterwards, from the neck, there were purple-red corpse spots on the neck, even so, he still looked very carefully.He kept seeing the body, the abdomen was distended, and green corpses appeared in the lower abdomen.There are large flat plaques on the back.Sherlock looked at her hand again, convulsed and held it weakly, the nails showed signs of breaking, but because of the running water, there was nothing hidden in the nails.

When he raised his head again, Dr. Watson, who had been paying attention to him, was taken aback by him. His face was much paler than usual. It can be said that his face was bloodless and pale like a ghost.He also showed a sinister smile and said, "Doctor Watson, what do you think?"

Dr. Watson rolled his eyes helplessly, threw his overcoat to the forensic officer standing beside him, stepped forward for an autopsy, and raised his head after a while and said, "Since the temperature in the water tank is only about 5 to 8 degrees, the corpse The decay is relatively slow, and the time of death is difficult to judge, but it can be judged that it should be about 48 hours based on the degree of wrinkling on the back of the hand and the instep.”

"continue."

"There is fungiform foam in the mouth and nose, which proves that she was drowned."

"continue."

"Nothing."

"Very well, the deceased is about 22 to 25 years old today. He is of Chinese descent. He just came to California not long ago. He didn't come here for tourism, but for other reasons. He probably lived in a temperate zone before, and he may have been a college student or an honor student. That kind of short-sightedness, recently made a boyfriend, very likely, very possibly love murder."

"How do you know?" Dr. Watson looked at him in disbelief.

"First of all, from the perspective of skin color and facial features, there should be no one who can't tell that she is of Chinese descent. Secondly, her hands and calves are tanned, and her wrists and parts above her knees are not, so it is not sunbathing, but natural At the same time, it can reflect that the place where she lived before has insufficient sunlight compared with California. Near Los Angeles is the famous tourist attraction Santa Monica Beach, but she has never been out, otherwise she should be very tanned Uniform, so not for tourism."

"So short-sighted, what about top students?"

"Looking at her forehead and bridge of the nose, she has obvious wrinkles, so she must be frowning from time to time. Myopic people habitually frown to focus on things. As for the top student, it is more based on a prejudice."

"bias?"

"The good girl wears a plaid shirt, and the bad girl wears a suspender skirt. Her clothes are obviously conservative. Coupled with the characteristics of Chinese descent and short-sightedness, combined with her age, it is very possible to speculate that she may be a top student. "

"As for that boyfriend, it's because of relatively fresh traces of sex in the vagina."

"And she is of Chinese descent, and she tends to have a stable relationship rather than a one-night stand, so she is a boyfriend rather than an occasional impulsive one."

"Fantastic!" Dr. Watson looked at Sherlock adoringly, he was shining now!

Sherlock tried his best not to laugh, but the corners of his mouth could not help but twitched slightly, and he continued to talk endlessly: "The deceased was drowned, but the place of death is not where it was found, and has been moved. The water in the water tower is flowing. Yes, and she was carried into the water with her head down, so the plaques should be concentrated on the forearms and upper body, but as you can see, there are indeed, but there are also a lot of plaques on the back, so the deceased died 8 to 10 years after death. It was placed on a flat surface within [-] hours, maybe a bed, maybe a table, or something like that."

"Also, on the neck, although the corpse spots have begun to rot, you can still see bruises underneath if you look closely."

"Bruises? Are you joking?" Dr. Watson retorted before the coroner, who had already changed his clothes and went to the autopsy, said, "It's obviously just an ordinary corpse spot."

"It's a bruise, and I can still tell whether it was formed before death or after death." Sherlock said; "Let's look at her hands again, they are clasped, and drowned people usually hold something, but inside the water tower With nothing but water, she should be holding hands tightly, but not now. Her nails are also broken, so use your imagination!"

"She was supposed to be holding something, but someone forcibly took it away! In the process, her nails were broken." Dr. Watson said in a speculative tone.

"Excellent!" Sherlock said, stepping forward to hug Dr. Watson.

After a while, Dr. Watson responded, "Sherlock, have you taken off your gloves?"

Sherlock turned his head away with some guilt, and said, "Probably. It seems. It doesn't seem to be."

"dammit!"
