[sherlock] Sherlock's Ome

Shelley couldn't help Sherlock turn over the book right away. The renovation of 222b's storefront started. Tom brought the workers over and needed Shelley to open the door for them and introduce the person in charge to her.

When she came back, Shelley was holding a leaflet in her hand: "Sherlock, today there is a circus acrobatic performance from China. Look, it says there will be escape and spider flying performances."

Sherlock was still saying: "Boring." But when he heard the back, he suddenly jumped up and grabbed the leaflet and looked at it carefully.

Shelley asked in surprise: "Do you like this?"

"Yeah," Sherlock didn't look like he was joking at all, "I think I need to go out and get some air, I haven't seen an acrobatic show in years, let's go together?"

"Okay." Shelley had no objection, and buried herself in Sherlock's notebook typing the recruitment notice. The renovation of the coffee shop will only take a few days, and it's time for her to start recruiting.

John booked four seats because he was going to go on a date with his colleague Sarah at night. The original date was to watch a movie, but she was fooled by Sherlock, and the date turned into a foursome.

Sarah is a very gentle and reasonable girl, although she looked a little uncomfortable when she saw Shelley, but Shelley smiled again after holding Sherlock's arm: "John, why don't you introduce me?"

"Sorry," John said, "This is my roommate Sherlock, and this is Shelley."

"Hey guys, this is my first foursome date," she said.

Is this a foursome date? Shelley thought a little confused, and nodded to Sarah with a smile. John had already picked up the tickets and called out, "Ladies, it's time for us to go in."

The venue was beyond everyone's expectation. Shelley heard John complaining to Sherlock quietly: "You said this is a circus, what kind of circus is this?"

Sherlock replied: "This is not their old line of business. Think about it, the Golden Dragon Circus only performed in London for one day. The gang wanted to send killers to the UK, and spiders can fly over walls and climb ropes..."

"Oh, please, Sherlock, I just want to have a good date with Sarah, only tonight, I don't want to get involved in the case, okay?" John was angry and helpless.

"John, I need your help, Shelley is hurt and I need to look around."

"Then you go and see, Sarah and I..." Halfway through John's words, Sarah suddenly clenched his arm.The circus is performing an escape technique, the drums have been beaten, the performers are struggling fiercely, and half of the sandbags have been missed, everyone's hearts are beating violently with the drums.

"Ah!" The performer yelled, and broke free from the chain at the last second and lay on the ground. Behind him, a sharp arrow was inserted into the target, and the arrow feathers swayed gently.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and applauded together.When he turned back again, Sherlock was gone.

John and Shelley looked at each other blankly: "He was still there just now."

Shelley remembered very clearly that just now she was holding on to Sherlock's arm because of nervousness, and he disappeared after applauding.Is this going to the background to find clues?

"I'll go find him." Shelley said worriedly, "You have fun with Sarah here."

Sherlock was rummaging through a pile of props, when he saw Shelley approaching, he smiled and said in a low voice, "If we can find the paint bottle, we can prove their identities."

Just as Shelley was about to answer, the woman in charge of the circus came in. Sherlock pulled her to the back of the clothes rack, but accidentally bumped into a box next to it, and there was a "bang" sound.Fortunately, the sound was not loud, and there was always music outside, so the woman just took a look here and went out.

The two breathed a sigh of relief, and Shelley also forgot what he wanted to say, so he didn't say anything at all, and rummaged together with him.Although the things were messy, the place was really small. It didn't take long for Sherlock to find a few paint bottles under a pile of debris, which were exactly the same as the ones he had seen before.

Shelley showed an excited smile, but at the same time they saw from the mirror that the one-person-tall doll suddenly moved. The refraction of the mirror light and the colorful oil paint on the doll's face made it look very weird. Shelley I screamed in fright.

The puppet rushed over with a knife, only then did Shelley realize that it was a man in ancient armor with a red mask on his face, looking like a dummy.Knowing that it was a shelley, he was not afraid, and ran towards him as soon as he got short, pressing his shoulder hard against his soft abdomen.

The man arched in pain, was punched in the face by Sherlock, and when he fell back, he grabbed the collar and pulled him back, sprayed his eyes with a paint bottle, the man screamed, and Shelley smoothly Kick him in the stomach. Shelley's arm was injured and he couldn't fight, and he was very angry. The strength of this kick was not small, and he immediately flew out of the curtain and hit the man outside performing the spider flying.

The audience suddenly became chaotic and ran away screaming. John was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Sherlock and Shelley coming out from behind, he hurried forward to help.It’s just for Shelley to see that John really didn’t look like a soldier when he was fighting. He was knocked to the ground by the man without a single round, or Sarah took a stick and hit the man’s head and back very bravely. up, knock him down.

"Nice job, Sarah." Shouted Shelley, her leg skills were really bad, and her arm was so hurt that she couldn't lift it up. She couldn't help at all, she could only watch the spider and the woman helplessly. Run away in a hurry.

Sherlock pulled off the man's shoe, and sure enough there was a black lotus tattooed on his heel. "It really is the Black Lotus Gang." Sherlock murmured, "I found you."

Shelley directed John to tear off the silk ribbon used for the spider performance, and tied the man firmly.It's probably because he's used to packing a backpack, but John did a good job at this point, he tied him like a rice dumpling in a few strokes.

"He is a member of a Chinese smuggling group," Sherlock explained to Inspector Dimmock impatiently. "The smuggling group has lost a priceless treasure and is now looking for it. They killed the two dead to get it back." treasure."

"What treasure?" Inspector Dimmock asked.

"I don't know, but that person must know, you can find it and ask." John said.

"Yes, yes, we can interrogate him, but damn he won't say a word, it will take time for us to interrogate him, do you understand?" Inspector Dimmock said angrily.

"But they will only stay in the UK for one day, and they will leave tomorrow." Sherlock also called out, "We are running out of time, we have to find their hiding place and meeting point."

"It's time for Soolinyao to wake up too?" John said.

"It's time to wake up," Sherlock sighed, "but we won't see her in the middle of the night."

Shelley gave him a blank look: "Why is your clever mind not working today? Isn't there an Inspector here? In such an emergency, it is not a trivial matter for Inspector Dimmock to go to the hospital and ask a patient a question." Is it?"

Detective Inspector Dimmock couldn't hear such obvious flattery, but he just gave Sherlock a look and agreed to take them to the hospital.

"I'll take Sarah home first," John said, "Call me if you have any news."

It doesn't take so many people to go to the hospital, Sherlock looked at Shelley: "Do you want to go back to sleep first?"

Shelley waved his hand: "It's still early, I'll go see Soolinyao too."

Sure enough, soolinyao has woken up. When she said that the code book they used turned out to be a London street map, several people were surprised, but this book is indeed suitable as a code source, just like the Bible and dictionary, and it will not attract attention .

Sherlock ran out like the wind, and Shelley knew he was looking for the book London street map, but it was almost midnight, which bookstore would still be open? Shelley hurriedly chased it out and shouted: "Sherlock, go home, we have it at home."

When they returned home, what they saw was a 221b with the door wide open and everything turned upside down, and the windows were sprayed with yellow paint with the same symbols as the homes of the two.

"People from the Black Lotus Gang have been here." Sherlock said, while quickly flipping out a London street map, looking for the answer by comparing the symbols on the photo, "Dead... nine... million... exchange... hosta... ...the tramway...the dragon's lair...the black..."

He dropped the book and ran out, Shelley hurriedly followed.I don't know how Sherlock found the taxi in the middle of the night. They arrived at a place Shelley didn't know at all, got out of the car and walked quietly to an underground passage.

A woman's voice came from the passage, the distance was a bit far away, and with the echo, it was impossible to hear what she was saying, and then John roared.

"They got John," Shelley said anxiously.

"And John's girlfriend, otherwise he wouldn't be so anxious and nervous, John is a fighter." Sherlock leaned over quietly through the darkness, just in time to hear John shout:

"I'm not sherloes."

Sherlock took a few steps forward and stood in the light so that the other party could see him, then immediately hid in the dark: "Yes, you'd better believe him, Sherlock has nothing to do with him. John, what do you think of me? Resourceful, spirited, and unpredictable.”

John breathed a sigh of relief, panting, "It's almost too late."

The spider rushed towards Sherlock, but he knocked him to the ground with a stick on the head, and then kicked over a burning gasoline barrel not far away.This half of the passage immediately fell into darkness, and Shelley saw that everyone's eyes were attracted by Sherlock, and hurriedly used the darkness to untie the rope for Sarah.

The poor girl was trembling all the time, but she was strong enough not to cry. Shelley pulled her to hide behind an obstacle, and went to help Sherlock himself.

The spider strangled Sherlock's neck with his red ribbon, and Sherlock resisted desperately, and the two huddled together. Shelley got angry, this was the second time.

The spider stood close to Sherlock, the ribbon in his hand was getting tighter and tighter, Shelley rushed over and hit him on the back, but the spider was completely unmoved, as if he was risking his life to strangle Sherlock.

Shelley looked around for a while, but he didn't see anyone who was in his hand, only the escape tool in the middle of the passage that had already released a sharp arrow and the sandbag was about to leak.Perhaps it is more appropriate to say that this thing is a miniature siege device. If it is enlarged a few times, then the sharp arrow can completely shoot through the city gate.

Shelley's eyes lit up, and he turned the stand to aim the arrow at the spider.Although this arrow is quite big, but I have seen it before, it is not too sharp, it is impossible to shoot through the human body.

The sandbag was pierced with big holes and leaked very quickly. In just a few seconds, the iron ball fell heavily on the tray.
