Olivia and Sherlock didn't go to Kailin's house, but went to the place where Johnson said he might have come after getting drunk last night.

"Johnson said he seemed to have seen the Thames, but he could touch the body parts and see the Thames. On the way he drove back, only the river bank was the most likely place, and it was a good place to dump the body." Livia spoke behind Sherlock.

The two ran to the river bank, where there were shallows, usually few people came, and there were no guardrails.Because it was already dark, Sherlock walked ahead with his flashlight at a relatively slow speed, which was a bit abnormal compared with his usual speed to rush to the scene of the crime.

The two walked along the river bank, and not far ahead, they found a black plastic bag, the kind used to hold garbage.There were several heavy stones in the bag, and there was a strong smell of blood.Olivia and Sherlock looked at each other, this should be the bag that originally contained the human legs.

Because Johnson said that after waking up, he saw that the limbs on the coffee table were not wrapped, but if there were no wraps, they would definitely leave traces in other places, especially if they were by the river, there would definitely be mud and sand.So this should have been wrapped, but it was pulled out by the drunk Johnson, so the scepter he saw last night should be that leg.

Olivia looked at Sherlock, took out her mobile phone from her pocket helplessly, and called Inspector Lestrade.With the bag found so close to the water, it is possible that other body parts may have been thrown into the river.Of course, the job of salvage was left to the people of Scotland Yard, so Sherlock didn't stop when he saw Olivia calling Lestrade.

Lestrade on the other end of the phone was both happy and worried when he received Olivia's call. He was happy that there were new clues in the case, but worried that these two guys still went out to find clues by themselves.Fortunately, nothing went wrong.

The scene was on the bank of a river, and the river water could cover up all the clues, and according to the footprints at the scene, more than three people appeared at the scene.So it can be said that nothing can be found based on the footprints.The stones in the bag were also stones picked up on the river bank. There is river water, so no fingerprints can be extracted.The point is that they didn't find the body, only a small section of the leg, and there were too few clues.

Olivia and Sherlock didn't have to wait long before the police car arrived.Those who got out of the car were still the same old faces seen today, but neither Donovan nor Anderson taunted Sherlock.And no one else has time to care about these things, and they are all discussing how to salvage.

"Sherlock. We went to the bar where Johnson drank to check last night. He was indeed drinking there last night. From [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] am, there is also a video from the surveillance camera. During this period, the deceased was killed. time, so he cannot be the murderer."

"It's an obvious thing, and Scotland Yard has wasted so much time trying to prove it." Sherlock said with the expression of you stupid humans.

The detective was a little annoyed by Sherlock's words, "Sherlock, this may be obvious to you, but not everyone can see it."

"Oh no. Olivia, tell him." Sherlock turned his head impatiently and said to Olivia.

"The limbs found today are neat from top to mouth, with complete leg bones and sharp hands. It doesn't look like a case of dismembering the corpse after a passionate murder, but more like a professional dissecting it. Johnson's hands were dissected because of his long-term drinking. A little trembling, even if he has professional knowledge, he can't hold the knife steadily." Olivia recounted her discovery to the inspector.

The policemen present were silent for a moment. They thought that only one Sherlock would be enough, and now Sherlock's new roommate also has such a high IQ.Are people with high IQs running all over the street now?

Lestrade suddenly looked at them with a strange expression, and Olivia didn't know what this meant, so she called him suspiciously, "Inspector?"

"Sherlock, you told Olivia everything you found? I remember you didn't even tell John before."

"Put away those thoughts in your head, her IQ is above the entire Scotland Yard, these are her discoveries. So it turns out, it's just that your IQ is not on the level." Sherlock broke someone's fantasy coldly .

While Sherlock and Lestrade were talking, exclamations came from the side, and the two immediately stopped bickering and walked towards the shore.It turned out that the people who went down to salvage fished up several black plastic bags.

Sherlock immediately put on his gloves, walked forward, and opened those plastic bags one by one.As expected, these plastic bags contained the remaining limbs, but the residual limbs soaked in water made everyone present frown.

The crime of homicide in the UK is much more serious than in the US, and there have been relatively few such cases of murder and body dismemberment in recent years, so when they saw this, many people vomited. Even Inspector Lestrade felt that this case was too bloody up.

Only Sherlock was present, his face remained unchanged, and he checked the stumps one by one.Olivia looked at those bags. There are so many bags, it seems that there is more than one person?There is also a bag that contains not those, but clothes.Olivia stood behind Sherlock, then took out a pair of plastic gloves from her pocket and put them on, before going to open the bag of clothes.

Sherlock turned his head and glanced at Olivia, and then went through the clothes together.In addition to the stones, the bag contained a set of ladies' suits, underwear, silk stockings, bags, shoes, etc., which should be the clothes of the deceased.

The two opened the lady's bag, which contained a wallet, but the money in the wallet was gone, and the mobile phone was not in it.

"The money and mobile phone are gone, maybe it was murder after robbery?" Anderson guessed after seeing the contents of the bag next to him.

"Shut up David, he's affecting my thinking."

Lestrade could only order to his subordinates, "Anderson, be quiet."

"Olivia, tell me." Sherlock turned his head and asked Olivia to talk about his opinion, which almost killed Anderson.

"Just now I saw a pair of legs in another bag. It seems that there are more than one victim. They are in the same dumping site, the same bag, and the same stone. Do you think it is an accident? And in general robbery It’s property, just grab a bag and don’t need to kill people. Most robbery and homicides happen in passion, killing on the spur of the moment. But in this case, although the money and mobile phone in the deceased’s wallet disappeared, but If you can take away your mobile phone, why not just take your bag? This bag is a limited edition and is worth more than a mobile phone. Even if you sell it second-hand, it is worth more than your mobile phone. Also, dismembering a corpse requires at least an indoor environment, and it is not profitable to operate. But it’s so troublesome, the murderer is just looking for trouble for himself. This looks more like a sign of robbery and murder in disguise. And this suit shows that the deceased has not had time to go home to change clothes after work, and it is likely that he was killed on the way. The murderer hijacked, or they made an appointment." After Olivia finished speaking, she kept looking at Sherlock, wanting to see what the other party found out about this.

"Well. George, check her relationships and where she went after get off work the day before yesterday. Olivia, let's go." Sherlock called Inspector Lestrade by the wrong name again.

"Sherlock..." Before Lestrade could finish speaking, Sherlock had already turned and left.

Olivia looked at the inspector in front of her apologetically, "Uh, inspector, let's go back first, bye."

"Olivia." Seeing that Olivia was still talking to the inspector, Sherlock called out impatiently.

"Oh, come right now."

Olivia felt that Sherlock must not go back so soon, and sure enough, the two of them came to Kailin's residence, No. 39 Doug Street.According to the information, Kailin lived alone, and Olivia rang the doorbell twice but no one opened it.Sherlock grabbed Olivia and motioned her to back away, then took out a few wires from nowhere, fiddled with the keyhole a few times, and the door opened.

Olivia, who hadn't pried through the door yet, was a little guilty, "Uh, isn't it good for us to do this?"

"Are you going to wait for Kailin to come alive and open the door for you? Or are you going to wait for the goldfish from Scotland Yard to come in?"

Olivia immediately stopped talking, well, anyway, with Sherlock around, she won't be caught.Olivia has been successfully brainwashed by Sherlock.

Olivia doesn't quite understand why Sherlock is going to Kailin's house now?

"Do you still want to go to Kailin's house now? Didn't you say that she was targeted by the murderer before she got home? There shouldn't be any information about the murderer at her house, right?" Olivia watched as Sherlock was busy looking around. The figure asked with some doubts.

"NO. Although the place where the case happened is not in her home, why did the murderer kill her? And in such a cruel way to kill someone she knew? There must be intersections in their lives, and she is the one who can know the living conditions of the deceased Also, don’t be fooled by the clues of the location of the crime, sometimes, you can check from the side, and there may be other clues.”

Olivia was a little flattered by Sherlock's sudden easy-talking. What he said just now was teaching me how to investigate the case?

"When I'm investigating a case, I like to talk to organize my thoughts. I don't need to think too much." Sherlock looked at Olivia's tangled face with disdain, and poured cold water on her as soon as she opened her mouth.

Although Olivia was ridiculed, she felt that this was Sherlock's normal appearance.Sure enough, she has been abused a lot, and she is not used to suddenly becoming warm.

"Oh, look. Maybe we have discovered something." Just when Olivia's brain was wide open, Sherlock's sudden words brought Olivia back to her senses.
