[sherlock] Sherlock's Ome

"But arthurpinna stopped him: 'I had an argument with the manager of Mawson's about you. I went to ask him about you and he was very rude and blamed me for taking you out of their firm etc. I finally couldn't bear it anymore and said: If you want to use some talented people, then you should give them a good salary. He said: He would rather accept our low salary than your high salary. I said: I bet you £500 that if he accepts my offer you will never hear from him again. He said: good! We got him out of the slums and he won't leave us so easily . These are his exact words. 'Hall was so angry that he stopped writing the letter, since he hadn't signed the contract anyway."

Not to mention Sherlock, even John and Shelley frowned, there was clearly something wrong with this matter.

Mrs. Pycroft wiped her eyes and said: "We were all dazzled by the high salary at the time, and the family was almost unable to open the pot. Arthur Pinna stood up from the chair and said: "Well, I am very happy to find such a talented person for my brother. This is Your advance of £126, please take note of the address, [-] B, Corporalson Street, and remember that the appointment is at one o'clock tomorrow afternoon. Good night, and I wish you all the best!'"

"That's all I remember of their conversation. You can imagine, Mr. Holmes, how happy we were at our fortune. Next day we took the train to Birmingham and put our luggage in the new A hotel on the main street, then hall went out to find it according to the address introduced, and I went to rent a house, and finally took a fancy to the current set. After Hall came back, he told me in detail about the process: No. 126 B was sandwiched between two big shops There is a curved stone staircase at the end, and there are many suites from the stone staircase, which are rented to some companies or freelancers as offices. There are tenants' nameplates on the wall, but there is no nameplate of Central France Hardware Co., Ltd. hall It felt like a scam, mr holmes, i thought so too at the time. if hall had left in time at that time, he probably would have been fine, but he hesitated for a while, and then met mr harrypinna, who looked exactly like arthurpinna A man, except that he has lighter hair and no beard."

"Hair color and beard are the easiest things to change," says Sherlock.

Mrs. Pycroft asked suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

"Oh, I'll talk about this later, please continue."

"Mr. Harrypinna explained that the reason why the company was not listed was that this branch office was opened last week, but this branch office only had a small suite with two rooms inside and outside, and the room was empty, with only a set of desks, chairs and a computer. He said that Hall's task is to manage the large warehouse in Paris, and continuously transport the pottery made in England to the four consignment stores in France 130. These goods can be purchased within a week. To do something useful while in Birmingham is to compile a directory of the Chambers of Commerce and Industry in Paris, and to list companies which he thinks need and are worth investing in."

"Hall and I are very contradictory. This company really doesn't look like a formal big company. We didn't find it on the Internet, but the other party has already paid [-] pounds in advance. There is really nothing in our family that is worth other people's money. It took so much effort to deceive."

"Hall worked for them for two weeks, and finally turned the thick directory into an exc form. He emailed the form to Mr. Harrypinna, and Mr. Harrypinna was very happy and praised him with a smile on his face After a while, at this time, Hall discovered something that made our hair stand on end."

The three of them couldn't help leaning slightly towards her, and Sherlock asked, "What did Mr. Pycroft find?"

"He found out that the third tooth on the lower right of Harrypinna had been filled. You are all amazed, yes, how impossible it is, you know, when Mr Arthurpinna came to visit in London, he learned that Hall was going to Laughed too when I went to work at Mawson Securities and we all saw that his lower right third tooth had been filled. Mr. Holmes, like you said, hair color and beard are easy things to change, but even They are twin brothers, so the possibility of repairing the same tooth must be very small."

"Hall was worried when he came back that day. He didn't know what the gentleman was trying to do to him. He thought about it for half the night and decided to tell the guy that he quit when he went to work the next day. But after he went out that day I never came back again. In the afternoon, I received a call from the police, saying that Hall’s body was found in the river. According to experience, the body had slipped into the river and drowned. Mr. Holmes, I would never believe that he was I accidentally fell into the river, Hall is afraid of water, since he fell into the river and almost drowned once when he was a child, he never took half a step near the river.”

The situation is almost understood, and the rest is to investigate the case. Sherlock was going to look at the corpse first, and the three got up to leave.

As soon as he went out, he hailed a taxi at the street corner. When Shelley turned around accidentally, he saw two men walking by with black jackets puffy, and stopped at the door of Pycroft's house.She reached out and gave Sherlock a hand, motioning him to look back.

Sherlock glanced back, waved his hand to let the taxi leave: "Come on, let's go over and have a look, I'm afraid Mrs. Pycroft will be in danger if those people haven't got what they want."

The place where they took the taxi was more than 100 meters away from Pycroft's house. When the three rushed over, the two had already tricked the door and broke in. Shelley heard Mrs. Pycroft asking loudly: "Who are you? What are you going to do?"

Another cold male voice said: "I'm using money to do things, ma'am, I'm sorry."

Then there was Mrs. Pycroft's scream, and Shelley rushed upstairs in three steps at a time. John and Sherlock had already gone up one step ahead. When she reached the door, there was already a fight in the room.

Although Sherlock's force value is not as good as Shelley's, those two men are not masters, and with John's help, Shelley went to help Mrs. Pycroft, who was paralyzed in fright, sit on the sofa, and poured her down again. Glass of water: "Don't worry, we're here, it's okay...Look, they've already solved it."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a sound of "dong dong dong" on the stairs, and two big men rushed up, holding long knives in their hands. Shelley's first reaction was to forcefully break the sofa that Mrs. Pycroft was sitting on, and let her sit facing the wall. Firstly, she would not be scared when she saw it, and secondly, it was also to prevent accidental injury.

John pulled out his pistol earlier, and Sherlock also said in a deep voice, "Sheley, stay hidden."

How could Shelley listen to him? In comparison, she is still the most powerful among the three of them.She reached out and grabbed a porcelain plate on the coffee table, knocked it in half, and rushed up with one in each hand.

Sherlock and John looked at each other strangely, John's eyes were full of sympathy, but Sherlock couldn't help shivering, Shelley is still angry?

Shelley held the "weapon" in his hand, but he still used punches in his hand, but when the opponent saw the sharp tile, the threat was much more than a small white fist.

In other words, an inch is short and an inch is dangerous. Shelley's weapons are not as good as the opponent's, and her strength is also inferior to the opponent's. The tile from his left hand was cut directly on his right wrist.

She solved it neatly, and Sherlock and John's movements were not slow either. After knocking out a gangster standing there, Sherlock stood up and straightened his suit, "Mrs. Pycroft, it seems that you..."

Shelley was standing facing the window, suddenly felt his eyes being shaken by something, his face changed, and he rushed towards Sherlock.Then everyone heard a gunshot, followed by Shelley's cry of pain and limp body. Sherlock's expression changed, he caught Shelley and hugged her in his arms, dragged her to the side sofa, and John pulled out his pistol and rushed out.

Sherlock urgently checked Shelley. The bullet hit her right chest. Fortunately, no internal organs were injured, but she lost a lot of blood, so the bleeding must be stopped quickly. For the first time in his life, Sherlock felt his hands trembling. Looking at the blood on his hands, he almost fainted. Fortunately, he was still awake and remembered to call an ambulance.

John found nothing, and he was thinking about Shelley again, so he came back empty-handed: "The killer slipped away, how about Shelley?"

"She was shot in the right chest, and she passed out." Sherlock placed Shelley on the couch, went directly to the cabinet and took out a first-aid kit. Fortunately, there were hemostatic medicine and gauze in it, and he untied it by himself without letting John do it. Shelley drugged her clothes and just stood in front of her waiting for the ambulance to arrive.

The ambulance arrived soon, and John was left to deal with the policemen who followed, while Sherlock followed in the ambulance to the hospital regardless of his distress.Seeing the doctor on board giving first aid to Shelley, I remembered to call Mycroft.

He decided to borrow the power and prestige of the British government for hospitalization and surgery.

To his surprise, while he was still waiting outside the door of the operating room, Mycroft came in person, along with Lestrade, John and the sheriff handling the case.

When Mycroft saw his brother covered in blood and sitting on the bench with a dull face, he raised his eyebrows in surprise, and handed him a cigarette: "Sherlock, do you want a cigarette? This is the only one."
