[Moriarty of Worrying about the Country] Descartes Formula

"The first step is to collect clues. You know the situation of those missing girls, Chris." Sherlock stroked his chin with a confident look, but the girl was stumped. "Wait for me." Then I got up and went to find the maid who talked about those topics yesterday.

After a while, she asked for all the basic information. On a piece of paper, she listed the names, ages, home addresses, missing addresses, and missing times of several girls. You can visit all at once without looking back.

"Excellent, Chris." Sherlock confirmed at a glance that these are all necessary information, and there is no need to ask other questions. At most, he asked the families of these missing girls if they knew anything special.

"It's nothing, it's just sorting out the basic information. Do you want me to follow?" The girl picked up the crutch placed next to the table with her left hand and propped it on the ground. Sherlock had a somewhat surprised expression, "Aren't you already planning to go?" Well, but later you have to explain to your father, I don't want to be approved by my father again, and take the patient out."

"It's okay." The girl opened the drawer, took two cans of small bottles and matches, and put them in her small bag. The daily dress of a noble lady is too complicated and troublesome. Fortunately, Earl Kirk thought that Chris didn't go out very much and needed to be at home. Recreation, so I wear more casual casual styles, like loose clothes that are easy to move like civilians wear.

Mycroft didn't say anything, but it was obvious that he wanted to go with him. Sherlock also knew that he was not convincing as a child. It was easier for people to believe his serious appearance, so it didn't matter. People followed.

In the hall, Mr. Holmes and Earl Kirk were sitting on the sofa and talking about something. Hearing the voice, he looked back at them, "Oh~ Chris, why are you still wearing this impolite dress to meet people?" Earl Ke was a little embarrassed. Normally, he didn't care what Chrissy wore. After all, she could wear whatever she liked, and he was happy to pamper her. But this time, Mr. Holmes was there.

"Because I'm a sick person, it's more comfortable. Wearing those clothes will aggravate my injury." The girl responded confidently, and Holmes chuckled after taking a sip of black tea. My family, Xia Li, likes this sister very much."

"It's fine if you don't dislike her. After all, Chrissy grew up in the countryside. She is a bit willful, but her personality is still very gentle." Earl Kirk said while scratching his hair which was not much.

"Father, I want to go out for a while." Seeing that the two of them were about to talk endlessly again, the girl immediately got down to business, "? What do you need to do? Just tell the maid. You haven't healed yet, and you still need to lean on a Are you going out with crutches?" Earl Cork immediately became worried.

"It's okay, just strolling around the town, Master Sherlock and Master Mycroft are with me, there will be no danger, this is our town." The girl blinked her eyes, with tenderness and said the polite voice.

"Don't worry, since these two boys want to go out, they will definitely take care of Miss Chris, and remember to come back before dinner." Mr. Holmes smoothed over the winks at Sherlock.

"Okay, if it's far away, take a carriage. If you want to visit the town, you can ask a maid to guide the way. Chris, you haven't been home for two or three years. Be careful to lead the two young masters astray." Guess probably It was Chris who was invited by the two young masters of the Holmes family to visit the town, Earl Kirk asked.

"I see. It's enough to take a carriage, and I don't need a maid." The road is a bit far away, and the girl is still worried about her physical strength, so it doesn't matter if she is lazy.

After dealing with the troubles from her parents, the girl was relieved when she got into the carriage, spread out the simple map she had drawn, and swiped her finger, "If you want to visit all, start from this house." Then she said to the groom, "Toke, Go to Blacksmith Smith first."

"Yes, miss." The groom set up the carriage after hearing the arrangement, "What questions do you want to ask them, I suggest you think about it in advance, after all, their emotions may not be stable now, and mentioning some words may trigger Their emotions are rioting." The girl reminded Sherlock, who was so excited that he seemed to be traveling instead of investigating the case, that these are people who lost their daughters, and they might be beaten if they were asked random questions by strangers. Although Si grew up in this small town, her status is quite embarrassing, and the common people are envious and jealous but don't want to get close to her.

"I see." Sherlock nodded when he heard the words, and the carriage soon arrived at the first one. In the blacksmith shop, Smith was still blacksmithing, but it was obvious that he couldn't hide the sadness on his face, and his movements seemed to be weak , The eye sockets are black as if they haven't slept for a few days.

"Uncle Smith." "Oh? Isn't this Miss Chrissy?" Smith put down the hammer and called out neither respect nor affection.

"Recently there have been many missing girls in the town. No one has called the police yet. The police force of Scotland Yard must not be able to help. So after my father found out, he introduced a famous detective to me and asked me to lead the way and ask some questions. Solve these cases and find the missing girls."

Sherlock's childlike appearance was not very convincing. Mycroft consciously stood in the position vacated by Chris, and Sherlock asked the question he wanted to ask, although for such a young The detective was a little unconvinced, but there was nothing wrong with trying. Smith thought about it and answered the questions one by one.

"Thank you for your cooperation, Uncle Smith." The girl nodded and said, "I hope this detective can be of some use. My Mir should be able to come back!" Speaking of his precious daughter, Smith couldn't care less about Keri who had become a nobleman before. Silk said excitedly.

"I'll do my best, and now I'm going to the next one to find out the situation." The girl replied equally seriously.

Get on the carriage, get off the carriage, not long after, all 10 houses in the town have run out, what are the similarities between these girls, the girls are also listed on the paper: 1. Low status, not discrimination against the bottom class, But if only the bottom-level people are shot, the identity of the criminal should be framed on the bottom-level people or the little nobles.

2. There are tasks that must be done away from home every day, such as delivering goods, collecting herbs in the mountains, or going to the market to buy materials, etc. The time for girls to leave home and return home will not be too long. The perpetrator must have observed , and it is impossible to observe only one at a time, it must be able to observe all the targets and list the order of shots according to the situation. The last one who often appears near this road.

3. Then, when those people disappeared, they would not be blatantly kidnapped in the town. There must be an excuse to lure them out of the town. Except for the family that had to leave the town to collect medicine, the other families happened to be extremely short of money , Religious worship, etc., although 90% of people in today's era have faith, but the common people's belief in religion may make them be lured by some rumors.

In the market on this road, the girl exchanged the candy in her pocket for the homeless child. There are various rumors circulating in the market these days, as well as the legend about the lake.In the story mentioned by the maid, the place where they disappeared, there was a girl abandoned by the nobles who committed suicide by jumping into the river near the lake. This rumor, even if it is groundless, must have a connection.

There will always be rumors among the neighbors because of certain actions, so even if it is only a few days, there are a lot of rumors. Fortunately, the girl only needs to know the key words, which are related to the lake. What happened to the rumors that the missing girl was lured to a remote lake.

There have been signs of gods appearing in that lake recently, and many people have caught coins in the lake and made a fortune right away.Although it sounds false, rumors from ancient times to the present are nothing more than linked to gods and money. Ordinary people do not have much discernment ability. Coupled with their religious beliefs, it is understandable to believe that there are gods and miracles.

Well, the last thing is to go to the lake to explore the way.Mycroft nodded after receiving the girl's gaze. He had already contacted the guards when he went out, and he also carried a signal flare on his body. Whenever he encountered a dangerous prisoner and couldn't deal with it, he would pull the signal flare. As for what he said, he just saw He would die. Mycroft was still confident about this point. Both Xia Li and he had been taught the Barton technique that combined defense and offense since they were young. It was no problem to deal with one or two prisoners.

The lake is located in a forest that is a bit far from the town. When the carriage enters this area, it is blocked by trees and it is difficult to enter. The distance between the trees is really small. You have to get off the carriage to go through it alone. Kelly In Si's memory, she had only been to this lake once in a long time, because it was too remote, and it was not a beautiful lake.

"What's the smell? It stinks." Sherlock said, covering his nose with his hand. The girl had already taken out the handkerchief to cover it. After all, the handkerchief was sprayed with perfume, which must be able to curb the stench. She was suffocating, and although Mycroft was also a little bit suffocated, it was still not as obvious as Sherlock's, and he only frowned slightly.

Although it is a case of disappearance, many disappearances in this era are tantamount to death, and this environment is likely to bury corpses and blood, and even the smell of blood will be undetectable, because the sense of smell will be desensitized by the overbearing stench at the beginning , Naturally, the smell of blood is no longer detectable.

Although the smell was bad, the girl still led the way in front, because this area is a bit roundabout, it is easy to find the lake and go around to the exit in advance and go out directly.

"This is it." The end of the lake can be seen at a glance, but there is a layer of black material floating on the surface of the lake, which looks like a stinky ditch in the 21st century, filled with rotten leaves, Animal carcasses and trash.

It's so dirty here, it is impossible to find any clues, but Sherlock still walked around the lake with his nose covered in disgust. After returning, he still held a leaf in his hand, which was a leaf by the lake. , there was a drop of solidified black wax oil on it, and the girl scratched it lightly with her fingernail to confirm that it was the candle oil that fell after the candle burned, but black?Black Candle This isn't a common candle and it's an odd place to be.
