When Sherlock took Dr. Watson downstairs, he kept silent and walked with his head buried in his head, but he almost fell down with his foot in the air.Dr. Watson hurriedly pulled him back, and even though he almost fell, he couldn't wake Sherlock from his thoughts. He maintained the posture of being led by Dr. Watson until he walked into the elevator, and said, "John, I found something interesting. gone."

"Huh? I only saw you rolling on the roof." Dr. Watson said jokingly.

"Of course not, your IQ can't match Anderson's! I just found out in the water tower: You know, generally speaking, the water we drink contains minerals, and after a long period of standing, some of the water will precipitate out and stick to the There will be a water mark on the edge of the container, but I saw that there was no such mark in the water tower just now, not a single one.”

"Then the water moves fast?!"

"It's possible, but it's unlikely. If the water flow was really fast, then the carrion on the corpse would have been scraped off, but we didn't see it yesterday."

"So this water tower rarely holds water?"

"This is very possible, and one more thing is..." At this moment, the elevator door opened, and it turned out that it had reached the bottom floor. Sherlock closed his mouth and pulled Dr. Watson out.

When going out, they passed a dark alley when they were going to intercept a taxi, and found that the hotel owner wearing a long coat with frayed sleeves was giving food to the stray cats in the alley.Sherlock shouted, "Mr. Boss, are you free?"

The gentleman looked up and nodded, then squatted down and coaxed the stray cats, then got up, walked over and said, "Hello, Mr. Holmes and..."

"John Watson," said Dr. Watson.

"Hello, Mr. Watson." The boss smiled at him shyly, and continued, "Is there anything I can do for you?"

"Yes, I want to ask, your hotel has two water systems, which is very rare."

The boss smiled gently and said, "I had someone install it. The water tower needs to be repaired occasionally, so we have someone connect it to the city's water supply pipeline, so that the residents can get enough water."

"Oh, I see, but since you're interested in managing the hotel well, why don't you give it a good renovation? My sister was complaining about this all day yesterday."

"If I do that, then a lot of my old residents will have to leave and go back to the street, and I can't bear to do that."

"You're such a nice guy." Sherlock asked as if suddenly remembering, "May I ask your name?" He reached out to shake his hand.

"Tom Wilson." The boss shook Sherlock's hand in surprise.

"Very well, thank you." Sherlock said a very rare "thank you" before turning around and leaving.

Dr. Watson added: "Goodbye" and left.

After getting into the taxi, Dr. Watson sighed, "What a rare kind man."

Sherlock sneered and said nothing, then looked at the scenery outside the car window as if in a daze.

Dr. Watson asked after a while, "What are you looking at?"

Sherlock leaned back in his seat and said, "Nothing."

Dr. Watson cursed secretly, this hopeless secrecyist and control freak!

When we went to the police station, the chief of the police department said with a smile on his face: "Great, we finally found out. The deceased was a Chinese, named Cocolan. He was 23 years old today and came from Michigan. He stayed here two weeks ago until the accident happened. That hotel. We just got in touch with her parents. They're on the fastest flight."

Hearing this, Sherlock looked at Watson triumphantly, and Dr. Watson joked, "Your tail feathers are about to curl up!"

"Tail feathers?! Hypatia told you I was a white peacock?!"

"really."

"Hmph! I just said that he will learn from that demon king." Sherlock snorted coldly, stopped talking, and went to the director to receive the information on the deceased.

Dr. Watson slandered, you two are definitely brothers, one is a white peacock and the other is a flower peacock, so what is Hypatia? !Hypatia was taught to be tricky by her two elder brothers, making people love her and wishing that this time it was a rare disaster for herself, so she secretly laughed and didn't say it.

Sherlock quickly flipped through her basic resume, a recent graduate of the University of Michigan School of Business, who owns a Chinese restaurant at home, then passed the resume to Watson, and asked: "Her facebook, twitter, m□, Are the personal data and articles on the blog here?"

The chief of police was already an old man in his fifties. When he saw Sherlock handing the resume to Dr. Watson, his eyelids moved and he didn't speak. Then he suddenly realized: "It's not, and it's difficult. Xun, those young people like to give up weird names on the Internet, so I had to ask her friends."

"Very good, I found that URL and sent me a copy. There is another one, since she is a recent university graduate, she is mostly here to apply for a job. Go find the company she applied for."

The chief of police was choked half to death by the tone of Sherlock's order, and replied lightly: "Understood."

Sherlock glanced at him, knowing that the self-esteem of the person in front of him was hurt, and he didn't bother to talk to him. If Hypatia was upset, he would go to court and sue him for dereliction of duty, which would frighten him, and finally make him take the blame and resign. Can't do it.So no matter how noisy he is, Sherlock's mood will not be affected.John always thinks that I'm unreasonable, but I can't be bothered to deal with them because I can pretend to be arrogant and bully others, Sherlock thought happily, and asked again: "What else did the surveillance video in this hotel find? Especially the surveillance video of elevators and stairwells."

"Yes, there are, but how do you know?" the bureau chief asked suspiciously.

Sherlock rolled his eyes secretly, and said, "That's it, I want to see it."

"Wait a minute, you have to explain how you know that first?"

Sherlock rolled his eyes angrily and said: "Since I deduced that it was murder and moving the corpse, the murderer would naturally use the elevator or stairs when moving the corpse. Could it be that the murderer could still carry the corpse and climb the wall?!"

"There is no video of moving corpses at all!"

"So are there any shots of moving some big objects?"

"No, so don't rush to say that this is a murder case, I think this is more like a mistake!"

"I regret that you chose the most lazy conclusion."

"You... have no evidence at all."

"I did an autopsy."

"My people also did an autopsy."

"Oh, I see. Birds of a feather flock together and people form groups. I have nothing more to say to you. I want to watch that video"

It took a while for the director to understand that Sherlock was turning a corner and calling him and his subordinates idiots, but he was raging one by one, making a raging nest of soldiers, so angry that his ribs hurt, your mother was born You are smart, I'm afraid that that smartness is used for cursing people, and retorted harshly: "We don't need amateurs of detective novels in our police department."

Dr. Watson said very seriously: "It is a consulting detective, not an amateur detective!"

The director curled his lips in disdain, but didn't speak.

Dr. Watson took a step forward and said: "Mr. Director, my friend has solved countless important and complicated cases. It is beneficial and harmless for you to have him join. For the sake of that girl, please let go of your prejudice a little bit." , can treat my friend with justice and peace. Then you will find his work fruitful."

After hesitating for a while, Mr. Director said, "Okay, you all come and take a look." Thinking of that video, his lips trembled uncontrollably.

Sherlock was a little strange about this, and asked, "Did something happen in the elevator?"

"Something very weird." The chief said leading the way.

"I would like to hear more about it." Sherlock said as he followed.

"That girl was dancing in the elevator in the middle of the night."

Hearing this, Sherlock ran through all kinds of possibilities in his mind, and didn't speak. He didn't come to a conclusion until he saw the video.

Dr. Watson said next to him: "It's people's freedom to love to dance, hehehehehe."

Sherlock suddenly felt very cold, really shouldn't let John and Lestrade get mixed up too much, and John shouldn't have Lestrade's extremely cold sense of humor, sister-in-law likes to tell bad jokes Forget it, anyway, it's not me who suffers, but John can't learn from it! !

Out of politeness, the director heheed a few words and said, "I hope so."

Afterwards, they went to the screening room and started playing the video. The total length of the video is more than 1000 minutes. Now they only watch the part where the girl appears, which is only about 4 minutes.

Sherlock looked at the shooting time displayed at the bottom of the video. It was three o'clock in the morning, when most people were falling asleep, and the elevator was empty at that time, so it would definitely not be suitable for a woman who is used to moving corpses, murder, kidnapping and other crimes. The child dances, unless, unless she dances with the night shift.As for ghosts, Sherlock didn't think about it from the very beginning. There are enough cases in the scientific world that he needs to deal with, and there is no need for other worlds to intervene. What can work be related to?He was a consulting detective, not an old gypsy mother.

Backed by such thoughts, he was as sharp as ever when he watched the video that almost the entire police department thought was a live version of the ring at midnight.

The girl wore a pink and purple knee-length dress. After entering the elevator, she first smiled at the surveillance camera in the corner, then raised her hands and danced gracefully. The eyes and the sweet smile all showed one thing: she was in love.

Very well, Sherlock thought, normal people would never fall in love with ghosts, would they?If she had schizophrenia, she wouldn't have stayed in college that long, since schizophrenics are unlikely to be suitable for group life.So she dances for her boyfriend, who could it be?Of course it was the person behind the camera, otherwise who would be so bored dancing in the elevator in the middle of the night!But is this a date?Orientals are so interesting!

Thinking of this, he looked at the director next to him who seemed to have been struck by lightning again, tsk tsk, the Americans' ability to bear it is really bad, I think Lestrade didn't collapse when he faced four consecutive suicide cases .

Mr. Director tremblingly asked the people next to him: "Don't you think this is very similar to the clip in SPN?"

"I think so too, shall we ask the hotel owner to sprinkle some salt in the elevator?"

Sherlock thought, as a police chief, he must face a lot of bloody, violent and terrorist incidents every day, why is he so timid? !Too strange.Is it true that Los Angeles is so peaceful that there is not a single murder case with a high IQ? !How can it be? !While thinking about it, he poked Dr. Watson suspiciously and said, "What is spn?"

"Supernature, a horror movie that Americans love to watch." Dr. Watson replied in a low voice.

"you saw it?"

"I've seen it." Back then, he didn't watch any horror movies in order to find a girlfriend. He even watched the Japanese midnight bell, just to appreciate the moment when the soft girl was frightened and threw herself into his arms. Dr. Watson thought Then look at Sherlock, I guess I won't be able to appreciate that kind of beauty again in the future.
