Olivia listened to the sound of running water from the bathroom outside, and sighed in her heart, how did things turn out like this?Obviously they wanted to break up, but now it has become a matter of discussing marriage in a month?Marry Sherlock?It's scary to think about it.

Olivia is still thinking, let's wait a while to speak clearly, otherwise it seems that the consequences will become more and more serious?

It didn't take long for Sherlock to take a bath, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped after a while, the door of the bathroom opened, and Sherlock came out wearing a bathrobe.Expressionless face, inorganic gray eyes, wet curly hair, water drops dripping from the ends of the hair, a few drops of water dripped on the sexy collarbone, submerged in the bathrobe, with a sense of abstinence .

Olivia glanced at Sherlock quite uncomfortably, and then kept thinking about how she needed to speak later and how she needed to be accepted by the other party.Sherlock glanced at Olivia who was moving uneasily on the chair, his eyes were deep, and he lowered his head to dry the water droplets on his hair with a towel.

After brewing up her courage, Olivia took a deep breath, looked down at the carpet, not daring to look at Sherlock's face, "Sherlock, we..."

Just when Olivia mustered up her courage and was about to speak, there was a loud noise in the room. It was the sound of a hair dryer.Olivia looked up and saw Sherlock blowing his hair.But... Sherlock can blow his hair?Hadn't seen Sherlock blowing his hair before on Baker Street, well, maybe it's just that he's in his room at night?

The sound of the hair dryer was quite loud, directly covering Olivia's voice.And Sherlock was still blowing his hair, and he couldn't see his expression from Olivia's perspective.Olivia was a little frustrated, she finally had the courage to speak out, and she was destroyed like this?But the current sound environment is really not suitable for talking about things, she doesn't want to yell around.

Huh, let's wait until Sherlock finishes drying his hair, shall we?Olivia glanced at Sherlock, the other's hair is not very long, it shouldn't take long to blow it, just wait a while.Olivia has been waiting with concern, cheering herself up from time to time, come on, you can do it, you will succeed, break up break up!

Olivia didn't know how long she had been waiting, but she just sighed that it took a long time for men to blow-dry their hair.Finally, when the voice in the room quieted down, the business of the noisy hair dryer was gone now.

Olivia glanced at Sherlock quietly, yes, he sat down on the chair, put his legs on the table, picked up a book, opened it on his lap and began to read.There shouldn't be anything that can bother you this time, right?

Cough, Olivia cleared her throat.Hearing Olivia's voice, Sherlock looked up at her, then frowned and said in disgust, "Why are you still here?"

Olivia: ? ? ?

Didn't you say that the two of us live in the same room?Did you book a room for me?

"Otherwise where should I go? Did you book another room?" Olivia looked at Sherlock suspiciously.

Sherlock looked at Olivia and said with an unbearable expression, "I remember I said you can't be too far away from me, so we only booked one room. I said it when I checked in, and it hasn't been more than two Hours, your memory can't even remember this? Also, why are you still sitting there? You ran to an abandoned warehouse today to investigate, and your body was covered with dusty quicklime powder, so your body Smudged with all kinds of bacteria and multiplying by asexual binary fission to produce more bacteria, so you are now a giant petri dish. How can you sit there quietly under these conditions?"

Olivia was taken aback by Sherlock's words, "Then what should I do? Disinfect?"

"You need to take a shower and change, ma'am. I can't bear to share the same room with you with so many bacteria on your body, so please take a shower now." Sherlock said while looking at the book with his head down .

Olivia also remembered that she was indeed covered in lime powder today, and that the warehouse had been abandoned for a long time, so the dust inside was indeed quite large.Thinking about it this way, Olivia felt itchy all over her body, as if she had really been stained with a lot of dirty things.

What if I just want to take a shower now?Olivia suddenly remembered what she was going to say just now, but Sherlock took her off topic without saying anything.The point is that now I also feel as if taking a bath is more important.

Olivia hesitated for a moment, then picked up her bathrobe and walked towards the bathroom. Forget it, let's take a shower first.Sherlock's expression just now was really disgusting, and he also felt strangely uncomfortable.

There was the sound of water in the bathroom, and Olivia started taking a shower in the bathroom.

It's just that when Olivia came out of the shower, Sherlock, who was sitting on a chair reading a book, was already lying on the bed, occupying the left side of the bed, and the vacant space was obviously reserved for Olivia.The key is that Sherlock lying on the bed has his eyes closed!

Fall asleep now? !After taking a shower by yourself, people fell asleep?Who was the one who stayed up all night and made the noise in Baker Street?Olivia saw Sherlock lying on the bed and wanted to push him to wake him up, but seeing Sherlock's dark circles, his outstretched hand stayed in the air for a long time.

The ancients said that once you work hard, you will decline again, and you will be exhausted after three times.Olivia planned to break up three times today, but was interrupted every time. She knew that Sherlock should have seen her own thoughts, so she interrupted on purpose.If the other party directly disagreed, she could run away without looking back, but Sherlock like this now made her even more at a loss.What kind of mood does Sherlock, who does everything possible to keep himself from speaking out, always finds a reason to interrupt himself?Especially now when the two of them are tossing back and forth for the case and investigating the case.

Olivia looked at Sherlock lying on the bed and shook his head helplessly, took out a towel to dry his hair, took the quilt that was sent earlier, lay down on the sofa, and finally fell asleep.

When Olivia went to lie on the sofa, in the darkness, the person lying on the bed opened his eyes, but the emotion in his eyes was hard to see, and then closed his eyes again.

The next day, when Olivia woke up, she found herself lying on the bed, and Sherlock, who was originally on the bed, was sitting in a chair reading a book. The morning light just came in from the window and reflected on his side face. There is a feeling of quiet time.

"Why am I on the bed?" Olivia stretched her waist and asked casually.

Sherlock reached out and turned a page, and replied flatly, "You were lying on the ground when I got up, is your sleeping position so wild? Can you fall from the bed to the ground?"

Olivia just wanted to say that she slept on the sofa last night, but after thinking about it, she still didn't say, "Oh, where are we going today?"

Sherlock did not know where to pull out a document and threw it to Olivia, then continued to read his book without saying a word.

Olivia went to wash up, and after changing her clothes, she picked up the information Sherlock threw to her and read it while having breakfast.These are the files of several cases. Olivia raised her eyebrows. Sure enough, McCoff is really a powerful brother, and he can still get the files of the cases that happened in the United States.

Olivia looked through it. There were three murder cases here. In the first case, the deceased was shot dead at home, with a total of eight shots in the chest and head.After the deceased died, there was a Bible next to him.In the second, the deceased was shot in the head at home and placed in a penitent pose.In the third case, the deceased was found dead in a church, shot in the heart, and appeared to be praying when he was found.

Olivia looked at these three cases and finally knew why Sherlock chose to come to Texas.The murderer in the previous Carter case had a religious tinge, but the case was handled very skillfully, and it could be seen that it was not the first time he committed a crime.It is more difficult to find the murderer's flaws with limited clues, but if they can find the murderer's previous cases, they may find clues.Because when he was inexperienced, there were more flaws.

It can be seen that these three cases all have religious overtones. The deceased were all women, but no organs were taken from the deceased, but the murderer is constantly evolving.From the initial panic, eight shots to the later one-shot kill, we can see his evolution.

The murderer is not without flaws. If they start with these cases, they should be able to find the murderer who killed Carter.But what is the relationship between the murderer and Hannibal, they are still not sure.Of course, it might not be possible to find anything suspicious about Hannibal from here. This is just to find the murderer of the Carter case.

"We're going to investigate the case of Relita?" Olivia was referring to the deceased who had been shot eight times in the first case.

Sherlock raised his head and said appreciatively, "That's right, although you spent a lot of time in the goldfish pile, you haven't been assimilated by them yet, very good."

Olivia was a little unaccustomed to Sherlock praising herself, so she smiled awkwardly, and then continued to bury her head in her breakfast.Sherlock didn't say anything after seeing Olivia's expression, but quietly waited for Olivia to finish her breakfast.

After Olivia finished her breakfast, the two began to prepare to go out. Sherlock put on his coat, put on a scarf and stood beside him, waiting for Olivia.Olivia was absent-minded for a moment when she saw Sherlock wearing the scarf. His scarf was the gift she sent back for Christmas before, the kind everyone had.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Olivia standing there motionless, Sherlock asked aloud.

"No, let's go." Olivia shook her head and walked out of the room.

Sherlock followed, the corners of his mouth raised.

The two came to the house where Ruilita's accident happened. Because the case has not been solved and the accident was relatively bloody, the place has been deserted.Sherlock opened the door with his superb lockpicking skills, and the two walked in like this.

After the incident, no one came in except the police, so everything remained as it was at the time of the incident. The two of them could still see a large dark red mark on the ground in the living room. The outer circle of the red mark was a chalk drawing. The outline of the human body, it seems that the deceased should be lying here at that time.

There is a drawn square frame next to the dark red mark, and the two people who have read the file know that this place is where the murderer placed the bible, at the edge of the bloodstain.

Sherlock squatted on the ground and checked the place where the Bible was placed, then stood up and patted the dust, looking at what should have been found in his eyes.

"Tell me what you found?" Sherlock didn't say what he found, but asked Olivia to talk about what he found.

As soon as Olivia figured out some clues, she was asked directly by the other party.

"This Bible was brought by the murderer himself. The deceased was not a Christian, because there was a record of abortion in her file. Christians are not allowed to have sex before marriage, and abortion is a serious crime. Therefore, she They are not Christians. The Bible that appeared here is a hardcover version, and under normal circumstances, non-Christians would not buy it. So there is only one possibility, and it was brought by the murderer." Olivia said her The first one found out, and then glanced at Sherlock. The other party was looking at her, neither agreeing nor disagreeing with her, with a blank expression.

Olivia had no choice but to continue talking about her next discovery, "There is also a problem with the location of the Bible. After the murderer fired eight shots in the face of the deceased, the deceased fell to the ground and could not move. But I saw her According to the autopsy report, these few shots did not hit her critically, and she died of excessive blood loss in the end. The average adult human body has about 4000-5000 milliliters of blood. If the acute blood loss reaches more than 30%, that is, more than 1000 milliliters, it is possible Reached the limit of human body compensation, and endangered human life. The blood found at the scene was about 2000 ml, and the location of the wound was not in the position of the aorta. The estimated bleeding speed based on the location of the wound, from the shot to the last scene we saw It will take at least 5 minutes to look."

Olivia knelt down and pointed to the place where the Bible was placed and continued, "The place where the Bible is placed is just at the edge of the blood, and it didn't touch the blood. This is because the murderer is religious, so the Bible will not be polluted, but try to keep it as clean as possible. The bible was close to the dead so it was placed on the edge of the blood. The question is, how did he know where the edge of the blood was? He waited here for 5 minutes? But according to the neighbors, he came from the house after hearing the gunshots , It took only two to three minutes, but no suspicious person was encountered, and then he called the police and the hospital. This neighbor is very suspicious. Do you want to go and ask?"

Of course Olivia knew that Sherlock had noticed these problems, but judging by his current appearance, he probably wanted to come directly to the door?However, the other party is suspected to be a serial murderer, so it's dangerous to just come directly to the door like this?

But Sherlock didn't think there was any problem with this, and nodded, "Of course. It's rare that he's still at home today. Of course we have to go and see what the guy who blamed you looks like. Don't you want to take revenge?"

Olivia rolled her eyes, "I'm not interested in committing suicide, and I don't want to do anything to him. After my suspicions are cleared, I plan to travel around the world. I don't care what happens to him."

Sherlock pursed his lips when he heard Olivia's plan, stared at Olivia expressionlessly, then took her hand and walked out directly.

"Sherlock, let go, I'll go by myself." Sherlock took a big step, and Olivia was almost dragged away.

The two stopped at the door, Sherlock took a step forward, stood in front of Olivia, and whispered, "If you like, I can accompany you." So, you can add me to the Is it in your future plans?

Olivia suddenly felt a bit itchy in her throat, and she couldn't say what she wanted to say. Just when she was about to say something, there were footsteps outside, and a middle-aged man appeared at the door.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" The man looked at Olivia and Sherlock warily.

Olivia and Sherlock looked at each other, and then Olivia stepped forward and glared at Sherlock angrily, and said loudly, "I told you that this house cannot be bought, you see? That's it You still want me to live in it? Let me tell you, if you want to live by yourself, I won’t live in such a terrible place.” Then he turned around and walked out.

Sherlock immediately stepped forward to hold Olivia, and persuaded softly, "Okay, okay, we won't buy this place, don't be angry." After speaking, he kissed Olivia on the cheek.

I'm going, is this taking advantage of me?But I can't do anything about it, I'm angry.

With one arm around Olivia, Sherlock explained to the middle-aged man apologetically, "We're here to look at the house, because it's very cheap, so we're here to take a look. Are you...?"

"I live next door. There was an accident here before, so it has always been deserted." The middle-aged man suddenly realized after hearing what Sherlock said, and then began to introduce what happened here.

Olivia looked at the middle-aged man, he was bald, and his mind flashed, "Are you also undergoing chemotherapy?"

Olivia thought of the targeted drug for treating lymphoma that they found in the warehouse before, and then saw the man's bald head, and suddenly remembered that this might be the murderer!

Of course, Sherlock understood what Olivia said, and the person in front of him was probably the murderer they were looking for.I saw someone suddenly entered the site that had been dusty before, so I came to check it out.Under normal circumstances, other people are unwilling to approach the house where this kind of thing happened, not to mention that the inside is still the same, and it has never been moved in.

When Sherlock turned around to talk to the murderer, he took a small step forward quietly, just blocking the way between the murderer and Olivia.Olivia looked at Sherlock's back with complicated eyes, feeling a little sad suddenly.But at this moment, she couldn't let herself be distracted, so she could only raise her spirits and stare at the middle-aged man in front of her.

But the man obviously sensed something, took out a gun from his pocket, and pointed at Sherlock in front of him.

"You are not here to come to see the house, and the house inspectors will not come by themselves. Who are you and what are you doing here?" The man suddenly became emotional.

Olivia watched Sherlock pull out a pistol and pointed it at Sherlock from behind, and her heart was raised. This is a serial murderer.If he shoots directly, the consequences...

Olivia's mind was spinning rapidly, wondering if there was any way to get them out of danger.But not only did she not come up with a solution, she also heard something that made her more worried.

Sherlock walked forward step by step, as if he hadn't seen the gun that injured the man, "You are dying of lymphatic cancer. A devout Christian, but God cannot hear his prayers. But those pagans You can live healthy and healthy, so you start to hate them and start to make them repent to your Lord. Confess that they can live healthily under the light of the Lord, but they do not follow the will of the Lord. From here this The case started, and you are constantly learning, so now you can tell me, who told you to kill Miss Carter in New York? Could it be your ogre partner?" Sherlock not only wanted to die, but also wanted to deceive About the guy who sent the killer to New York to commit the crime.

The murderer was still a little panicked at first, but after hearing Sherlock's words, he began to calm down.He glanced at Sherlock, then turned his gun to Olivia who was behind Sherlock maliciously, "What if that's the case?"

Olivia could only sigh secretly that she was too unlucky to meet the murderer before she even started to prepare, and now the gun is still pointed at herself.

Sherlock was expressionless, raised his hands, and said calmly, "We are devout believers, you will not be forgiven for doing things like this, and the light of the Lord will not descend on you."

While talking, the other party caught off guard and pressed the trigger on Olivia. Olivia had been observing the man's expression, but when she saw his sudden ferocious expression, she quickly rolled to the side and escaped the gunshot.Seeing the other person's expression, Sherlock wanted to move aside, but when he remembered the person behind him, if he moved away, she would be the one who got shot.So Sherlock was shot in the arm, but still went forward to fight the murderer.

After dodging, Olivia took a wooden stick from the side, knocked it down while the two were fighting, and directly knocked him down.Although the murderer fainted, seeing the blood on Sherlock's body and the gunshot just now, Olivia was about to cry.

"Sherlock, how are you? Where is your injury?" Olivia dropped the wooden stick and ran over to check on Sherlock's injury.

Sherlock's face was pale, and the blood on his body was a little obvious, but Olivia didn't know where the wound was, and the other party didn't cooperate with her inspection.

"I'm fine, I'll spend at least three months with you, don't try to let it go." Sherlock said in a relaxed tone.

Olivia can no longer tell whether she is comforting herself or tricking herself, she just wants to cry now.
