[Comprehensive British and American] Stark Apartment

Lestrade's case actually didn't attract much attention at the beginning. It was just a simple disappearance case. Most of the missing people were men. They disappeared from their apartment overnight, and the scene Nothing left, just disappeared.

And the simple disappearance case has been taken seriously after receiving the fourth report. Lestrade has also heard the report. The friends of these missing persons said that he had left messages on the Internet before, but in They disappeared the next day, and what they have in common is that they haven't gone out to see friends for a long time, and they use various excuses to stay out of contact with people.

But they are familiar with the habits of their friends, even their voices are similar, there is not much difference, so no one will suspect that they disappeared early.

But this time the scene was different from the previous ones. They found a female body. According to the investigation, it was the girlfriend of the new missing person Parker. The deceased was named Monica, a very pleasant name.

Her death was very miserable. Not only was she stabbed more than ten times, even her beautiful cheeks were scratched, and her fingers were chopped off and thrown aside casually. It seemed that the perpetrator had some hatred for her. Same.

"Detective, here is the report." Donavan, Lestrade's subordinate, handed over a report. After taking it, Lestrade briefly glanced at it. He is now more important to go to the scene than to make a report. .

"Let's go to the scene." This was said to Sherlock. Donavan glanced at the freak who had come back from the dead and rarely satirized him. She voluntarily stepped aside and agreed to Sherlock's intervention this time.

The Ms. Monica at the scene was still lying dead on the floor. Lestrade couldn't bear to look at that dead body. He couldn't imagine how much hatred there was to kill a lady so cruelly.Sherlock carefully avoided the blood on the ground, and knelt beside Monica to examine it carefully. Countless data flashed before his eyes: civil servants, engagement, coming in a hurry, slippers.

"See what?"

John was also squatting beside him. He had seen corpses of all kinds, but such cruel ones were really rare, so he couldn't wait to hope that Sherlock could catch the murderer.

"The business attire on her body has not been changed, indicating that she came here in a hurry after work. According to the time, she should have worked overtime today. I think Miss Monica should be a government employee. The ring on her finger She is obviously engaged. Although she does not live with that Mr. Parker, it can be seen that she often goes in and out. Most people will not prepare slippers that fit outsiders' feet at home. The keys on the table should only have her fingerprints. Left-handed, It seems to have resisted but obviously failed. Judging from the wounds on the body, the murder weapon should be a fruit knife or a dagger, but I think the murderer should have taken it away." Sherlock picked up the severed finger and looked at it. It was found that there were small scratches on it, and it seemed that the journey had not been long. "She was scratched by something. Judging from the degree of blood coagulation, she was killed before she was killed. Is it a murder weapon or something?"

"Apparently her blood was not found on anything else in our report."

Sherlock frowned, judging from the mark, it didn't seem to be the murder weapon, there must be something missing.He looked at Monica again, and found that her throat seemed to be wrong and blood was flowing out from the corner of her mouth. According to the coagulation time of dead blood, this phenomenon is unreasonable.Sherlock put his fingers in disposable gloves into Monica's mouth. He just saw that Monica's throat was slightly protruding and there was blood on her neck, so there must be something inside.

After groping for a long time, Sherlock took out a small piece of porcelain from it, which was firmly stuffed in, and there were fibers on the piece, so it was certain that she was gagged at that time.

"Ha! That's it, that's the one that cut her finger, and where are the other pieces! Did any of you find it!"

Sherlock suddenly became excited, this is an important clue, as long as he finds other fragments, he will be able to find something.It is a pity that the rest of the fragments were not found by all, nothing.

Sherlock had a face of disapproval, and he began to search in the house. There was no trace of the trash can or toilet, and those fragments seemed to have disappeared.

"Could the murderer have taken it away?"

They also encountered this kind of thing last time, in the first case between Watson and Sherlock, so Watson also guessed so.

"But what's the use of taking away the pieces of porcelain? Judging from the degree of solidification of the wound, Monica was cut first and then killed."

Sherlock closed his eyes, and he simulated the scene before Monica's death in his mind. First, she accidentally broke a piece of porcelain, which should not look very high, and then she was cut when she bent over to pick up the pieces. There were sucking marks on the fingers, and at this time the murderer started from behind. Not only did the fragment that cut Monica's finger stuff it into her mouth, but she also blocked her mouth with fibers.

"Did you kill someone because of porcelain?"

Looking around again, Sherlock felt that the house was a little strange, and it seemed that something was missing, not just a vase-sized porcelain.

"Did none of your idiots find any fingerprints?"

"No, only Parker's fingerprints, but they are very blurred."

"Could it be that he just wasn't at home during this time?" Watson put forward his own idea. One of the reasons for the degradation of fingerprints is time, and the other is because they were wiped off.

"No, John. The atmosphere of activity in this room has not faded, and it seems that there have been activities, so this Mr. Parker should have been active with gloves recently."

When Sherlock refuted Watson, he was still turning left and right, and Watson's head was getting bigger.

"Stop! Sherlock, what are you looking for?"

"Strange, don't you think this house is very strange! He is missing a lot of things, the most important thing!"

Sherlock just couldn't figure out what was missing, and Watson and Greg followed suit.Watson circled around the sofa twice. To be honest, he was probably the only one of the three who lived a more humane life. He always felt that he couldn't see the TV from the sofa, so he just sat on the sofa.

"Sherlock!" Watson called Sherlock's name loudly.

"Don't bother John, I'm about to figure it out."

"Sherlock, I found out!"

Sherlock opened his eyes suddenly, walked quickly to Watson's side, and then he was pushed onto the sofa by Watson. Smartly, he understood what Watson meant.

A normal person should sit on the sofa and watch TV or other important things. In short, the eyes should be full.And from this sofa, the first thing you see should be the cabinet next to the TV, and other places parallel to the line of sight, all of which lack things.

"Dust, round, tile." After Sherlock finished reading these words, he suddenly jumped up and laughed, he was excited like a child, and said in his mouth: "John, you are so smart, I know I Got it! This house lacks the thing that attracts the owner's attention the most! It must be porcelain, it must be porcelain!"

He sat back to the position just now, put his hands together under his chin, at this moment he is the master of this room, what he sat on the sofa and opened his eyes to enjoy was not the colorful TV, but the On the porcelain at the position of people's attention, with admiring and greedy eyes.

"Wow, interesting criminal."
