After Mycroft left, Inspector Lestrade also came to the door.

"Sherlock, the autopsy report has come out. The time of death was between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] last night. Uh, because there is only one foot, the cause of death cannot be determined yet. We have already started to compare the DNA of the deceased and the missing persons. .” After Lestrade handed a document to Sherlock, he sat on the sofa, waiting for Sherlock to tell him what he had found.

But unfortunately, Sherlock didn't want to say anything, took the report and looked at it for a few moments before throwing it on the sofa, looking very disdainful.

"Your Scotland Yard's IQ can only do this. How about the car inspection?"

Inspector Lestrade was really used to being ridiculed, and even his expression remained unchanged, "Sherlock, you must know that if you don't tell me what you found, I won't tell you what we found."

Olivia looked at the two, sighed, got up and walked to the kitchen.

"A cup of coffee, two sugars, thank you." Sherlock said immediately.

Olivia ignored Sherlock, she was hungry at this time.After shopping for so long today, and encountering so many things later, I don't have time for myself to eat at all.Looking at the appearance of a few men in the living room, it is better to be self-reliant instead of counting on them.

Olivia didn't want to make too much trouble, so she fried a piece of steak for each person, cooked some pasta, and made a pot of coffee by the way, so it didn't take long.

"Inspector, I cooked your portion, you can eat it too." Olivia looked at Lestrade who was still confronting Sherlock, and asked kindly.

"Oh, that's great. Thank you, Olivia. By the way, where did you go after you left the police station today?" Lestrade was flattered for the first time that he was treated so well in 221B.Sure enough, the lady will be more careful. Sherlock went out with Olivia, and that Olivia is fine too.

Thinking of this, the inspector turned his attention to Olivia, hoping to find out from her what Sherlock found when he went out in the afternoon.Every time Sherlock investigates the case by himself, they always fall into a passive position. Although the detection rate is high, they will also be ridiculed by other teams.

"Ha, you still want to talk to her?" Sherlock sneered.

Olivia glared at Sherlock, then smiled and said to the inspector, "Oh, we went shopping at Harrods, and Sherlock generously gave me a small gift, I like it very much."

"Hehe." Sherlock said disdainfully.

Only Watson had seen what happened after Mycroft and Lestrade came, so of course he knew that the two of them went to the mall to investigate the case.But he just didn't say anything, all the merit and fame were hidden, and he ate quietly.In other words, Olivia's cooking skills are really good, it would be great if she cooks more often in the future.

Olivia got up and went to the kitchen to bring the brewed coffee and put it on the table.

"A cup of coffee, thank you." Sherlock looked at the coffee cup in his hand and said to Olivia.

"If you spend the time you spend talking pouring coffee, you're already drinking coffee. Do it yourself, sir. John and I didn't let you do the dishes, so you should thank us." Olivia drank calmly Taking a sip, she rejected Sherlock's request.

Sherlock pursed his lips, and finally had to do it himself.

When the four of them were about to finish eating, Lestrade's cell phone rang suddenly.He answered the phone with a serious expression, "Really? Okay, I'll be right back."

"The car and its owner have been found." Lestrade glanced at Sherlock, and then truthfully stated their progress.

Sherlock immediately stood up when he heard this, Olivia, John?Why are you still sitting?We need to hurry over there. "

Olivia and John looked at each other, and then John turned his head and coughed lightly, "Hey, Sherlock. Just let Olivia accompany you. I have an appointment tonight. I have an appointment with Sarah Went to see a movie."

"This is a corpse case! Don't you write your blog?"

"I can write after I ask Olivia, and I have missed appointments several times. Olivia, you go quickly." John finally looked at Olivia, his eyes said, you hurry up Pull away, next time you have something to do, I will save you!

Olivia understood in seconds, "Sherlock, let's go. Maybe we have to go to other places later, and there is not enough time."

Olivia hinted to Sherlock that she didn't want to know that with Sherlock's behavior style, they will go to Kailin's house to check later.And after asking the people from Scotland Yard, the two acted alone.

"Let's go." Sherlock picked up the windbreaker, put it on, and went out.

When Olivia went out, a taxi was already parked at the door.

"Actually, it's good that you have a special car, at least we don't have to spend time waiting for the car." Olivia said to Sherlock enviously.Think about what I wanted to call when I went out today, but I waited for a long time, and it was very difficult to call in London.

When the three came to Scotland Yard, they saw the suspect, wearing a neat suit and a famous watch on his wrist, with dodge in his eyes, and remained silent to the police's questioning.Sherlock looked at his profile, then stared at him for a moment.

Later, Sherlock pulled Olivia into the interrogation room, "Alan Johnson, 32 years old, married, and has a 3-year-old child. He is engaged in financial futures related work. The mistakes in life two years ago made him You lost almost everything, and then started drinking, so your wife asked you for a divorce a few days ago. I have to say that your wife's choice is correct."

As soon as Sherlock's words fell, Allen stared at Sherlock angrily as if someone had untied his scar, and struggled several times to come over and beat him up.

Olivia looked at Alan whose hands were trembling, and the incision of the calf that she saw in the alley today flashed through her mind. The incision was smooth and the leg bones were complete, as if dissected by a professional.And this Allen in front of him, it seems that it shouldn't be him.

"Shut up! She loves me, she won't leave me, no! Yes, I didn't kill that person, I woke up with that leg in my house. I don't remember where I came from I took it back, I didn't kill anyone, I didn't kill anyone!" Allen began to defend loudly.

Sherlock interrupted him impatiently, "Tell me about your whereabouts on the 22nd, that is, yesterday."

"I was drinking at the bar last night. I was in the bar from 7 in the afternoon until [-] in the morning. I drove home after [-] and went to bed when I got home. Woke up around [-] in the morning. , went out to get milk and newspapers, and sat on the sofa only to find that human leg was on the coffee table. At that time, I was so frightened that I couldn’t stand still. Coupled with the effect of alcohol, I thought I couldn’t be seen by others. So I wrapped the things in a newspaper, put them in a garbage bag, and threw it into a nearby trash can, so that no one would find it. I really didn’t kill the person!” Allen stated with some regret what happened yesterday matter.

"Nothing happened on the way you drove back? When you found that person's leg in the morning, it didn't have anything wrapped in it?" Seeing that Sherlock didn't speak, Olivia asked the question she wanted to ask.

Sherlock glanced at Olivia, but did not stop her from asking.

Allen tried his best to recall what happened when he drove back last night, but he drank too much and could only remember some fragments.

"I remember like I went to see the Thames? And found a scepter? I can't remember, I really drank too much to remember. When I saw it in the morning it was like that or something No, that's why I wrapped it in newspaper." Allen really had no memory of his whereabouts last night, and his words were full of uncertainty, which was hard to believe.

Olivia looked at it but couldn't ask anything, looked at Sherlock, the two looked at each other, and then Sherlock turned and went out.

Detective Lestrade outside the interrogation room was just watching the conversation between Sherlock and the suspect, but he felt that the murderer generally said that he was not the murderer, and he hadn't seen many people who voluntarily admitted to killing.

"He's not the murderer." Sherlock could tell what the inspector was thinking at a glance, and he was impressed by Scotland Yard's stupidity, so he threw out his conclusion as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Oh, it's strange... It's you again. Who would voluntarily admit that they killed someone? Aren't those murderers trying to quibble in order to escape the crime? What do you want to tell us with those little tricks? And, girl, Are you not afraid of following such a person?" A mocking voice suddenly appeared from the side.

Olivia turned her head and saw that this was the police officer Anderson she had seen before. Looking at this provocative look, was there any grudge?

Olivia observed each other carefully, and couldn't help but sneered, "You and Police Officer Donovan have such a good relationship, you both smell of the same perfume, the same aftershave, and the same deodorant .”

"What nonsense are you talking about? I can sue you for defamation," Anderson yelled.

Olivia spread her hands helplessly, "I just said that you have a good relationship. Well, you have a bad relationship, is that okay?"

Of course, other people in the police station knew about the relationship between Anderson and Donovan. At this time, everyone in the police station was snickering, and some even didn't hide it at all.

"Anyway, the suspect is the one who dumped the body. It can't be said that he is fine just because you said a word or two."

Olivia didn't bother to pay attention to him now, and said to Sherlock, "Let's go, my resistance is relatively low, and I will be infected."

"Well, let's go. Stupidity is really contagious," Sherlock replied solemnly.

Others at Scotland Yard:  …

It always feels that Sherlock and his new roommate are more powerful than before.
