Baker Street Survival [Comprehensive]

Watson looked at Sherlock sitting on the sofa, feeling very complicated. He didn't know whether he should be happy that Sherlock finally knew how to let the other party see his own advantages, but this method made him a little worried.

"Sherlock, that..., you can change the method in the future. Olivia asked me if you sent your resume by mistake?" The words were repeated.

After listening to Watson's words, Sherlock's face darkened immediately, he stood up and went back to the room, closing the door.

In the United States, Olivia hung up the phone and didn't pay attention to other things, but was thinking about the case she encountered today.

The autopsy report of today's victim has not yet come out, but she can still check the information of the other two cases.After Olivia came to the United States, all the news she saw was that there were murders happening again, so she didn't pay much attention to these.The poisoning case is even more inconspicuous, so I have not paid attention to these two poisoning cases before.

Olivia picked up the computer and went to browse the files of the police station, checking the two previous poisoning cases.A week ago, the No.1 victim, Linda White, was a 23-year-old female who had just graduated from college and lived in California.I just started working, and my social background is relatively simple. I have no grudges with others, and my parents have no grudges against anyone.A week ago, she came to New York from California to meet her friends, but when several people were shopping near Times Square in New York, Linda suddenly fell down and died of poison.

Before Linda fainted, she was accompanied by symptoms such as headache, dizziness, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and vomiting, so when several people were about to send her to the hospital, she fainted and died before the ambulance arrived.

An autopsy report revealed that botulinum toxin was detected in the body of the deceased.After testing, the food in the stomach of the deceased contained botulinum toxin, which belonged to food poisoning.But according to the descriptions of several people in the same company, during this trip, the three of them ate food together.And the four of them ate a buffet. After everyone went to bring back their favorite food, everyone shared it together.Their food was all together, and no other poisoned people were found after investigation, and no other diners were found to have this situation in the several restaurants they went to eat.

The victim of the second case, Gerson Dalton, male, 46 years old, married with two sons, was a freight officer in a shopping mall.When I was driving to deliver the goods, I suddenly got poisoned, the car hit the guardrail, and I finally heard it.But when the ambulance arrived, the man was dead.After a forensic examination, the deceased Gessen also died of botulism.The deceased ate breakfast at home, and according to his wife's description, she made the breakfast.But their breakfast was bread, fried eggs and milk. The bread and milk were bought in supermarkets. The fried eggs were cooked fresh and fried together. One for each family member, but the others did not show symptoms of poisoning.So how the toxin got into the mouth of the deceased is still unknown.

The third case, that is, the one Olivia met in the restaurant, has no relevant information yet.But when she was at the scene, Olivia also inspected the scene of the poisonous hair.Olivia learned from the restaurant manager that the deceased was Mr. Edward, who came to eat with his wife, and then something like this happened.

But after Olivia's observation, the two are not husband and wife.To be precise, it should be a relationship between lovers. Both of them had an affair within marriage, because although they were wearing wedding rings, they were clearly not a couple, and the styles were too far apart.When the restaurant manager called the woman Mrs. Edward, the two did not refute. When they were in the restaurant, their behavior was relatively close, exceeding the normal social distance.So the two of them are just lovers.

Mr. Edward smelled of perfume, but not the perfume of the lover who was eating with him, so Mr. Edward had other lovers, and they had just met before this.His suit looks more expensive, but the socks that leak out are indeed of a very mismatched color, so he is just a person who focuses on the surface, and the inside is not as beautiful as it looks on the surface, a bit like a nouveau riche.Because Olivia didn't check the things on the deceased, she didn't know anything else.

In these three cases, the age, gender, occupation, personality, and hobbies of the three victims did not have the same place, and they did not know each other, nor did their family members, relatives, or friends know each other.So there is no intersection between the three.Then why were the three of them selected by the murderer and poisoned?Could it be that the motivation for these three phases of poisoning was not revenge or other things, but just aimless poisoning like revenge against society?

Olivia looked at the key points of the three cases she wrote, and felt that this case should be investigated from the second case.Because the deceased in the first and second cases had contact with more people than the second case, and the deceased in the second case was exposed to poison while at work, and the places and people he came into contact with were limited. Yes, maybe we can find a breakthrough point from it.

So Olivia put down the other two cases first, and looked at the second case carefully.According to the neighbor's statement, Gerson Dalton has a good relationship with his wife, and there has been nothing unusual recently.One of the two children is in college and the other is in high school. On the day of the incident, they were both at home because they were on vacation.They all confirmed that the fried eggs for breakfast that day were fried by their mothers and put on the plate on the table. They took the plate at random, poured the milk by themselves, and put the bread together.

With the toxin of botulinum toxin, if there is really a problem with breakfast, other people will at least have mild symptoms such as dizziness, headache, and nausea, but none of the three have these symptoms.That means Gerson Dalton's poison was not in the house.

But the deceased died in the morning, before lunch time.His colleagues also confirmed that the deceased had not had lunch.Besides eating, where else can people ingest toxins?water?There should be no problem with the water dispenser of the deceased company, otherwise he wouldn't be the only one who had an accident now.Could it be that he drank the water given to him by others?But the deceased was driving at the time, and no one else knew if anyone else had delivered water.

Olivia felt that the case had reached a dead end here, because there were no witnesses to the behavior of the deceased, and there were no videos to retrieve. This period of time was a blank time, and there were too many unknown factors in it.

After thinking about it, Olivia felt that turning back to check the first case, the four of the deceased and his party were all shopping near Times Square, and the most indispensable thing in these places was cameras.Judging from the symptoms of the deceased in the three cases, the dose of botulinum toxin in them is not a small amount, and the incubation period is about 2-6 hours. There may be some linkages in the investigation within this range.She could see what they had been doing that day until the death of the deceased.

Olivia began to check the surveillance according to what several people said in the statement recorded at the police station.Because the monitoring is not just a store, but the shops passing by, the shopping malls visited, etc., so it took a long time for Olivia to check the monitoring.

The situation that day was indeed as they said, shopping and eating.In the six hours before the death of the deceased, they were all shopping, during which they ate a lot of things, such as ice cream, candy, chewing gum, buffet, and water.

Olivia saw that the deceased was holding a bottle of mineral water in his hand when he came to Times Square, and then threw the bottle away after drinking.Recalling the direction of her suspicions when she recalled the second case, Olivia paid attention.First, check what they eat. Candy, chewing gum, and buffet can basically be ruled out, because these foods are put together and will contaminate other foods, but there are no reports of other people being poisoned.

There is a possibility for ice cream, but this guess does not match the third case, so water is the most likely possibility.Olivia started to go back and watch Linda's whereabouts before she came to Times Square, first from the video of the hotel where she stayed, which showed that she didn't have mineral water in her hand when she went out.And when she arrived at Times Square, she had an extra bottle of mineral water in her hand. Was this bottle of mineral water given to her by the murderer?

Olivia checked the stores near Linda's store and the surveillance cameras on the traffic road, which recorded the entire process of Linda's arrival at Times Square.

Linda first came out at nine o'clock, then bought a bottle of mineral water in the store, and then took the subway to Times Square.shop?Seeing this, Olivia wondered if her reasoning was wrong?

The mineral water bought in the store was not handed to her by the murderer.But if the water is bought by yourself, will you not know if the bottle has been opened?If the bottle cap was not opened, how did the murderer poison the water?Is this poisoning case related to the shop owner?

All of this is a mess now, and only after peeling it off can the source of the matter be found.Then Olivia checked the area where the victim of the second case needed to work and the itinerary monitoring of the victim in the third case, but the three victims did not move in the same area on the day of the murder.In other words, even if all three of them ate poisonous things, they were poisoned in three different places.

Three poisoning locations, which is a bit too strange for random poisoning cases without purpose.Generally, people who randomly poison people to retaliate against society choose a place where there are many people and it is easy to poison, and poison them all at once, so that more people can be poisoned. This is their purpose.So the nature of this case reveals something weird.

However, if the murderer put the poison into the mineral water bottle at home, and then exchanged the poisoned water with the one sold in the supermarket, it is possible.But how did he manage to get the poison into the bottle without the cap off?

Olivia turned her head and glanced at the coffee cup next to her. When she saw the watermark on the rim, her eyes lit up, and there might be a way to do it.

Olivia got up and walked to the refrigerator, opened the door of the refrigerator, took out a bottle of unopened mineral water, and walked to the kitchen.Olivia took the bucket and took half of the bucket of water, then poured the bottle of soy sauce from the kitchen into the water, then threw the unopened bottle of mineral water into the bucket, and pressed the water bottle under the water with something. , keep it out of the water.Half an hour later, Olivia took out the mineral water bottle from the bucket, wiped off the water on the surface of the bottle, and carefully observed the water in the bottle.

It is found that the color of the water in the bottle has not changed, which means that the seal is still good.But when Olivia opened the bottle cap, she found that the thread of the bottle mouth had taken up a lot of sauce-red liquid.If she wanted to drink water directly from mouth to mouth, she would definitely drink the caramel-colored liquid from the mouth of the bottle.At the same time, the water will also be stained with the caramel-colored liquid during the process of being turned upside down, and will be polluted.

Is that so?So the murderer chose the most toxic botulinum toxin, which can kill people with just a little bit.The murderer took advantage of the thread-tight feature of the mouth of the mineral water bottle to poison.The thread of the bottle mouth can only be used for reinforcement, not for sealing. What really plays a sealing role is the rubber pad inside the bottle cap. Without the rubber pad, the sealing will be poor.Even if there is a rubber pad, the thread of the bottle mouth itself may be polluted, and when people drink bottled mineral water, their lips directly touch the thread of the bottle mouth.

Although Olivia has this inference, she has no evidence to directly show that the deceased in these three cases were poisoned because they drank poisonous water.In the previous two cases, no mineral water bottles were found near the deceased, but they were discarded after drinking.Moreover, a week has passed, and the evidence is estimated to be difficult to find. Even if it is found, it will be difficult to prove that the evidence has not been polluted by other substances in the following period of time.At present, evidence can only be obtained from the third case.

Olivia thought about it. Although she had no evidence, Rhett should believe her reasoning, right?Thinking of this, Olivia took out her mobile phone, edited a long text message, and told Rhett about her reasoning and the little experiment she just did.Maybe in this way they can find the mineral water bottle in the third case as soon as possible, so that they can verify whether their reasoning is correct.

I still thought it would be convenient when Sherlock was around, but it turned out that Sherlock's willfulness is still beneficial. If it were in England, Lestrade would look for evidence as long as there were inferences. Sure enough, acquaintances are easy to handle.But even if the method of poisoning was found, the person who poisoned it was not found.It is estimated that if this is the case, it will scare the public even more, because they don't know whether the things they bought have been poisoned, and it will cause panic, right?

Not long after the text message was sent, Olivia received a reply from Reid. The other party said that they would verify it with their team members, please rest assured, and thank herself and so on.

Olivia felt relieved when she saw the big picture here. BAU is very powerful in the first place. If she didn't want to earn gold coins, she wouldn't intervene.Besides, in other cases, policemen whom she didn't know would listen to her. She wasn't as confident as Sherlock.

Although Olivia hadn't found the real murderer after finishing all this, there was still progress, so she decided to take a break.Just when Olivia was thinking about what she should do, the doorbell rang suddenly.

Olivia was a little surprised. Rhett and Morgan were both at work at this time, and she didn't know anyone else. Who could it be?

Olivia walked to the door and glanced out through the peephole, and saw Hannibal Lecter outside the door who was well-mannered and gentlemanly.Olivia was a little timid, she didn't really come to treat herself to dinner, did she?Olivia took a deep breath, then made herself look more natural, and opened the door.

Doctor Lecter, who was waiting quietly outside, saw the open door, with a reserved smile on his face, "Hello, Olivia, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to dinner tomorrow?"

Olivia seemed a little hesitant, and asked weakly, "Two people?"

Dr. Lecter seemed to have seen Olivia's hesitation, but he didn't say anything else, just said with a smile, "There is also a friend of mine, he is from the FBI, three of us, I cook for myself, Hope the beautiful lady doesn't mind."

Olivia secretly sighed in her heart, if she didn't know who the other party was, she would have been moved by his thoughtfulness. Knowing the lady's hesitation about being alone with a man and a woman, she specially called her colleague.He is still from the FBI, which shows that he is not a bad guy.Are criminals so considerate these days?No wonder it's so messed up?In contrast, Sherlock's character is simply the villain among the villains. Who are the people he met?

"It's an honor for Dr. Lecter to cook in person, and I'm looking forward to tomorrow's dinner." Knowing that she couldn't refuse now, Olivia had no choice but to agree.If there are others, today's ingredients shouldn't be special, right?

After the two made an appointment, Hannibal left.Olivia, who closed the door, let out a long breath. The United States really has a lot of perverts, and my flower planter is safe.But safe places have no cases, no gold to earn, sosad.

Today's 221B has been shrouded in shadows, the main reason is that a certain big devil has been exuding the aura of "no one should enter".Watson looked helplessly at Sherlock who was sitting in front of him, looking at his phone frequently.

Well, today is Sherlock's birthday, and Sherlock should be waiting for the phone call?Obviously, a hard-spoken person.Today is almost over, and I haven't received any information from someone, so the whole 221B is in this weird atmosphere.

There was a voice in the corridor, Watson thought for a while, it should be Mycroft?Sure enough, the figure of Mycroft appeared at the door.

"Sherlock, your gift." Mycroft handed over a box, but Sherlock didn't accept it, but looked to the other side.

Mycroft didn't show any surprise to Sherlock's reaction, but directly put the gift box on the coffee table, then sat on the sofa, and said unhurriedly, "This is my person entrusted brought back from America."

Watson originally felt that McCoff was suddenly so warm, and he was a little uncomfortable.Sure enough, the way these two brothers get along cannot be understood by ordinary people's thinking.Mycroft would have come so late to deliver presents so there was nothing wrong with it.The one you brought back from the United States couldn't be Olivia, right?

When Olivia was still living in 221B before, Watson discussed with her when Sherlock's birthday was, and she told herself directly.A few days ago, Watson found out that Sherlock's birthday was approaching, so he called Olivia, and asked her to send even a happy birthday to Sherlock that day!Otherwise, the future of 221B will be very sad.

Sherlock's eyes lit up when he heard Mycroft's words, and then he took his eyes off the phone, glanced at McCoff, then picked up the gift and the phone on the coffee table, and walked back to the room.

After closing the door of the room, Sherlock changed from his expressionless face to dancing. He threw the phone on the bed, and then carefully looked at the gift box. It was only the size of a palm. Inside was a pair of tsavorite cufflinks. The interior was very pure. , Bright and dazzling, transparent green and black base, atmospheric and dazzling.Sherlock tried the cufflinks directly, with a smile on his lips, took the mobile phone from the bed, and directly pressed the shortcut key to unplug the number.

It took a long time for the other party to pick up the phone, "Who is it?" The voice was confused and lazy, it must have not woken up, Sherlock remembered what happened when he woke her up before, and his throat was a little itchy , Suddenly don't know what to say.

Olivia waited for a while, but there was no sound on the phone. She took the phone and looked at the caller ID, "Sherlock, what do you want? Can you call me after I get up?"

"It's 13:[-] U.S. time, daytime." Sherlock found his voice.

Olivia complained, "I want to take a nap too."

"Sleep too much and your brain will be dull. You are already quite dull, and if you keep going, you will degenerate into Andri and the others." Sherlock habitually taunted back.

Olivia rolled her eyes, "Then make me stupid, don't save me. Also, that's Greg."

Sherlock choked on Olivia's words, "Stupid goldfish. Have you been infected by goldfish in the United States? Also, today is January 1th."

"Oh, I've become a goldfish, you bite me? I'm not number 6 here." Olivia was drowsy.

Sherlock was annoyed by her, and just about to hang up the phone, a voice came from the opposite side, "Hello, curly-haired monster, happy birthday. Have you received the gift? Let me tell you why there are always people hanging around near my house recently, and they are British, so there is no need to send them." Delivered."

Olivia actually forgave Sherlock for what happened before when she received the text message. Although Sherlock is annoying, he is still a good friend.But, if he doesn't contact me, it's impossible for me to call him and say I forgive you, right?So when Watson called to ask her, she readily agreed and prepared a gift.

"Hmph, it's okay. When are you coming back? John and Mrs. Hudson both miss you." Sherlock asked arrogantly.

"My family is in China, so I'll go back there if I go back. I've had a good time here recently, let's talk about it later, you and John can come to see me when you have time. To be honest, the United States is quite suitable for you to live in. There are many perverts. I I live in the United States for the time being, I still need to sleep, I will contact you when I have time, we will talk next time, goodbye." After finishing speaking, Olivia hung up the phone.

Sherlock stared at the phone to watch the class, a little disappointed, but also a little happy looking at the cufflinks in his hand.

Sherlock opened the door of the room and saw Watson and Mycroft sitting on the sofa, "Mycroft? Why are you still here? A midnight weight loss plan? John, why don't you go to bed? Mary dumped you so Can't sleep?" Sherlock returned to his previous appearance, fully activated his taunt skills, and attacked indiscriminately.

Mycroft: Hehe, this is my own brother, my dear, you can't kill him, you can't beat him to death.I'm going to keep smiling.

Cooperating with me in a hurry to help you bring things over, you only see that box?You just saw me now?Can't you give me a good face when you see me?

Watson: Haha, I really needn't do anything, I shouldn't have made any phone calls, and you were dumped!
