brownstone house.

Watson opened the door and directed the police to move the case information collected from Rabbit's house into the house.This cunning rabbit has the habit of collecting trophies, so there are items belonging to different victims stored at home, Sherlock asked her to come back one step later, and take all the trophies home after the police register.

"What are you doing?" Watson saw Sherlock locked the black cat into a double-layered cage, and now one person and one cat were staring at each other, "Why did you lock it?"

Sherlock stared intently: "I think it has intelligence."

Watson: "You know it's a very clever cat, don't you?"

"No no, much more than that, I think it understands my language and has human-like emotions."

Watson came to open the cage, calling his name threateningly: "Sherlock!"

"Don't let it go! I'm about to succeed!" Sherlock finally watched the black cat escape from the cage with regret, "I would have known soon if it dared to use cat litter in front of me!"

Watson couldn't understand his actions: "Why don't you dare? Why do you want to do this kind of experiment?"

"In the car just now, it quarreled with me because of sudden braking, and tried to grab my steering wheel."

"Sherlock..."

"So before you came back, during the time we were alone, I told him a really tough joke, you know, about string theory and multidimensional universes, and I saw something like a smile on his face. So I'm now experimenting with whether it has a sense of shame, which is a very high-level emotion, and if it really has the intelligence to understand my language, it must have a sense of shame."

Watson pursed his lips and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Sherlock, are you..."

"I'm not taking drugs!" Sherlock tilted his head and thought about what he had done, and gave up explaining everything to Watson. "Okay, let's talk about the case, but wait."

Sherlock picked up the black cat, threw it back into the cage, then added two locks outside the cage, then pushed the cage into the kitchen, and finally locked the kitchen door, then lay down by the door to listen to the movement, and confirmed that there was nothing unusual inside, then I came back and opened the box containing the materials.

Watson crossed his arms and said coldly, "Shall I prepare you a fingerprint locker for cats?"

"Not yet, but I want to make sure it can't eavesdrop on my analysis of the case."

Sherlock took out items related to the victim from the box and matched them with the 12 cases on the display board.

At first, Sherlock only thought that the 12 cases were related, and these cases had been falsified when they were exposed, so it was impossible to deduce the real time of death of these deceased.Rabbit's collection makes up for that - he time-stamps each of his collections.

Sherlock sat down and stared at the display board for a few minutes, then stood up suddenly.

"Watson!" he cried, "we are going out!"

"where to?"

"Go--" Sherlock was about to say it, but suddenly stopped, and then glanced in the direction of the kitchen. He waited for Watson to come to him before whispering, "Go to the zoo, I think I know Hilda wants to do what."

Watson followed his gaze to the kitchen, unconsciously lowered his voice: "What does she want?"

"Moriarty." Sherlock's expression was far more serious than usual, he stepped forward and knocked on the display board, "There are at least three cases here that can be connected with the 'organization', I didn't find it at first because Didn't notice the time difference when the incident happened."

"In the January 1 case last year, a suspect was a dock stevedore. The next month he organized the use of the dock to smuggle vehicles, and the ship sank."

"In the case of June 4 last year, a suspect was a hospital cleaner who organized an illegal organ transplant at the hospital in September, but the operation failed."

"On February 9 this year, a suspect was a golf caddy. In April, he organized an arms trade on the golf course. As a result, the closed surveillance video was suddenly turned on."

……

"If my surmises are correct, Hilda is tracking every transaction Moriarty makes, and looking for little people who can stop them, like stevedores who can drop bombs on ships, and people who can tamper with surgical equipment. The cleaner, the caddy who can enter the monitoring room... Hilda first lures them into committing crimes, then takes care of their funeral affairs, and then coerces them into destroying the organization's business."

Sherlock took a step back and drew a large circle on the board from a wider perspective.

"I think all twelve of these cases were specially designed by Hilda against the organization, and besides these cases, there are many more cases that I don't know about. Watson, the two most vicious men in this city The witches are fighting, and no matter what their goals are, the victims will be ordinary people, and we must stop this."

Watson realized the seriousness of the problem, and stared at the display board: "You said you were going to the zoo, but the father of the deceased Ely was the owner of the botanical hall. Let me think about it... I remember that the botanical hall is the zoo's food supplier. They will breed special plants for some animals, such as eucalyptus leaves for koalas, bamboo for pandas..."

Sherlock: "That's right. According to my previous investigation, the transportation company that transports the plants to the zoo belongs to the organization. No matter what, Moriarty must be playing with the zoo's idea. Hilda must want to interfere with Moriarty." The zoo project, that’s why I caught Ely’s father’s weakness. The botanical hall, the transportation company, the zoo... How do these three connect, I have to go to the scene to find clues.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the alarm placed on the cooking table suddenly ticked.

"What kind of siren is this?" Watson walked over to turn off the noise, but turned around and saw Sherlock was going to the kitchen, "Aren't you in a hurry to go to the zoo? Can you stop targeting that poor kitten? "

"That's the infrared alarm I just set up." Sherlock opened the kitchen and let her look inside: "This is the poor kitty you're talking about."

The two locks of the cage were unlocked, and the black cat ran out of the cage, squatting on the window sill and licking its paws.

Sherlock: "I put an infrared probe outside the window, as long as there is a heat source close to the window sill, it will sound. If I didn't weld the window, it must have escaped."

Watson walked into the kitchen with a face full of surprise, picked up the two copper locks on the ground, and found that the locks were intact, and he didn't know how they were opened.God!Is this really just a little milk cat?

Sherlock went back to the living room, got the collar, and put the black cat around: "I can't leave it at home, or it will definitely demolish my house. Before I can figure out what's going on with this cat, it must be taken away." Take full control."

"Hilda said it practiced acrobatics..."

"The acrobatic troupe also taught it how to understand string theory jokes?"

Sherlock held the black cat in his arms, holding a gun seriously: "Let's go to the zoo first."

It was six o'clock in the afternoon, which happened to be the time when the transportation company delivered the last batch of food of the day.

Sherlock saw the transport truck leaving the Panda House and stopped them immediately.

Seeing Sherlock, the driver smiled and said, "Sir, what's the matter?"

Sherlock got straight to the point: "I want to see Moriarty, I know what happened between her and Hilda."

"I don't understand what you're saying, if you have nothing else to do, I'm leaving get off work."

"Wait." Sherlock glanced back at the gate of the Panda House, then at the driver, suddenly reached into the car window to open the door, and forcibly dragged the driver down.The driver wanted to resist, but was subdued by the following police officers.

Sherlock opened the compartment of the transport vehicle. The plants in it had been emptied, and there was nothing there. Then he came to the driver's seat, searched up and down, and found a box of unopened injections in the seat of the vehicle.There is a line of words written in German on it - a large ovulation needle for animals.

He confronted the driver with the pill box: "I want to see Moriarty."

"I don't know what you're talking about! That's, that's what I bought for myself!"

"I can't quite imagine what you'd do with this thing."

Sherlock threw the pill box to Watson and explained: "They want to steal panda eggs. Pandas only have one to three days of estrus every year, so they take over the transport job so that they can observe the females in the zoo every day." The state of the panda, when it enters estrus, steals its eggs. Panda sperm is relatively easy to obtain, with these two things, plus the artificial uterus technology that has matured in recent years, they can create live pandas, pandas They can sell for astronomical sums in the black market. Fortunately, they haven’t waited until the panda’s estrus period.”

Watson looked at the driver with disbelief in his eyes, and then she looked at Sherlock again, "Where is Hilda? Poisoning the panda will cause national disputes, and she definitely doesn't want to make matters worse, oh!" Watson spread out in disgust. Hand, "Is that why she approached the botanical hall and wanted to add male hormones to the bamboo?"

"I would do that if I were her." Sherlock pouted.

Watson nodded: "It's easy to buy, it's not fatal, and it's hard to detect. By the time Moriarty finds out, a lot of costs have been lost."

The driver struggled: "You can't catch me! Those are just speculations! I didn't do anything!"

The police suppressed him: "You have 48 hours to explain this to us, and I will give you enough time-hey, is that your cat?"

Hearing the police suddenly change the subject, Sherlock followed his gaze to look at the police car, and saw that the black cat locked in the police car had already opened the door, and was sneaking away with its leash in its mouth.

They looked at the black cat, and the black cat looked back at them.

Sherlock: "Get that cat!"

Hearing his cry, the black cat ran away, and the police chased after it with all its might, but right now it was really just a harmless little guy, and it lost its strength in a few minutes, so it panicked and got into the nearest fence.

Sure enough, the police were stopped behind the fence.

Seeing this, the black cat was not in a hurry anymore. It flicked its tail and stomped its catwalks leisurely.

But then it saw the huge billboard in the fence - the call of the wild, free-range tiger forest area.
