Sherlock never cared about other people's eyes, so he kept shuttling back and forth in the trading hall outside Sir William's office under the strange eyes of everyone, trying to confirm who this message was conveyed to.

The clues Sherlock wanted to investigate had already been gathered, so there was no need for him to stay here.But his eyes couldn't bear the sand. Since it was such an interesting thing, it naturally aroused Sherlock's interest and made him want to investigate what these Suzhou codes represent. Naturally, he had to go to Find this person who can see the code in Suzhou.

As long as the recipient of the message can be found, the mysterious person who left the message can be drawn out.

There are 23 staff members in the trading floor, but because the pillars and computer screens block the line of sight, few people can see the few Suzhou codes, so the scope is greatly reduced.Furthermore, the message was left at 34:[-], which can also explain many problems.

Because there are shifts every hour, some transactions with Hong Kong need to be carried out in the middle of the night, so the message is for the staff on the night shift.

Sherlock is not in a hurry to tell Sebastian that he has found a way for the other party to invade the company, because the other party will probably not cooperate with his investigation work in the future.

In fact, the idea of ​​entering through the window is a blind spot. If it is on the first and second floors, many people can quickly guess it, but if it is above the 42nd floor, everyone ignores this point.

There was only one staff member on the night shift who could see the graffiti message, and his surname was Fanku. Then Sherlock and John came to the downstairs of his residence, and Fanku lived on the seventh floor.

It's a pity that Sherlock rang the doorbell downstairs for a long time, but no one responded, as if no one was at home.

However, Sherlock will not be willing to just return without success. He noticed that there is a brand name that is new, and it happens to be the one above Fanku's. It is obvious that it has just moved here not long ago. Replaced, but no one would be so boring as to get a new one if the nameplate wasn't damaged.

Sherlock pressed the doorbell corresponding to the nameplate, and then a young girl's voice came out.

Sherlock coaxed the other party in the name of a resident living downstairs, and then told her that he forgot to bring the key, and hoped that the other party could open the door, and it would be better to borrow the balcony so that he could go home.

Because Sherlock's behavior was too upright, the new female resident who moved in less than a week could not have the slightest doubt about him. Very handsome looks and firm temperament also added a lot of points to them, making it impossible to doubt that they are bad guys.

Although the upstairs and downstairs balconies were not far apart, Sherlock's skills could never be on par with John's, so John stopped Sherlock from taking risks and jumped off first.But he obviously underestimated Sherlock's enthusiasm for the case, because after he jumped down, Sherlock followed him and came down together.

The sunny floor-to-ceiling windows were not locked. Sherlock opened the door and walked in. John, who wanted to teach him a lesson, had nothing to say, so he could only follow in.Because although no one answered the doorbell inside, it didn't mean that there was no one there, so of course they couldn't alert the owner of this room casually.

As soon as he entered the living room, Sherlock noticed a thick stack of books next to the LCD TV, and then walked into the room with a small bar and a refrigerator full of wine. When passing through each door, Sherlock I have to open it to take a look, but no one is there, except for the locked bedroom.

Because there was a dead body lying on the big soft bed in the bedroom, a young man in a well-fitting suit with his eyes wide open, the blood from the bullet holes on his temples was no longer moving, and A pistol was lying quietly on the ground.

It seems that the investigation can only be temporarily suspended.

John called the police, who called Inspector Lestrade's office at Scotland Yard.After all, they broke into Fanku's house for no reason and found his body. All of this was too suspicious. Even if it could be explained clearly, neither John nor Sherlock wanted to waste this time.

Suicide is a very common thing nowadays, after all, the bedroom door is locked, but Sherlock doesn't think he committed suicide.

Before Lestrade arrived, Sherlock checked the bedroom, and found a pile of dirty clothes in the suitcase. Judging from the amount of clothes inside, Fanku had left for three days, although the clothes were messy , but some things fold neatly.Then he checked the clothes Fanku was wearing and his nails. He was not idle, and was analyzing the case in the form of chatting with John.

"Tell me, what's the meaning of the graffiti in the bank and those Suzhou codes?"

"Some kind of code, I suppose that's obvious, isn't it?"

"But why draw? If you want to communicate, isn't it the same as sending emails?"

"Maybe he didn't reply."

"So, what kind of message is one to avoid?"

"Bill, so I don't think this Mr. Fanku is willing to read it, so he won't be willing to go back. When the email is full of messages like this, I don't think he can communicate with people anymore. That is the truth behind the ciphers left in Sir William's office."

"Very good." Sherlock said, he was very happy that John could keep up with his rhythm, and at the same time, he also found evidence that the other party was not suicide.Because he took out a small thing from Fanku's mouth, which proved that he was threatened.

It was a piece of black debris, seven centimeters long and five centimeters wide. Sherlock took out a sealed pouch from his arms and stuffed it into it.

England Yard was very efficient, but it was a pity that it was not Lestrade who came because he was busy with another case.And the person in charge of this case is a young man named Dimock, who is a bit arrogant. He doesn't trust Sherlock very much, and he doesn't give the other side too much face.

The young man who became a detective at a young age, Dimock told Sherlock not to mess with anything in this room, and after observing the situation in the room, he hastily defined suicide, because this is the only explanation suggested by all the evidence.

But Sherlock refuted him, telling him that this was only part of the evidence, and then he reprimanded the other party sternly, because he had a satisfactory conclusion, he chose to ignore everything that was inconsistent with it, and then Sherlock listed all kinds of evidence that was inconsistent with it. Suicide is supported by evidence for the exact opposite conclusion.

For example, the wound is on the right side of the head, but Fanku is left-handed, so how soft must his body be to be able to shoot the right temple with his left hand?

And the proof that he is left-handed can be seen from the furnishings in this room.

The coffee table is on the left; the handle of the coffee cup faces to the left; the power plug is usually on the left; the paper and pen are on the left side of the phone, indicating that he answers the phone with his right hand and takes notes with his left hand; the knife and butter on the breadboard are on the right side of the blade because he uses it Hold the knife in your left hand.

So it's hard for a lefty to shoot the right side of the head, and the conclusion is that someone broke in and killed him, and that's all the evidence points to.

Of course, there is still a lot of evidence, and Sherlock said that if the other party wants, he can continue to talk.

"What about the gun?" Dimock didn't let Sherlock continue, because it would make him angry.But the gun has Fanku's fingerprints on it, and it only has his bullets, and there is one bullet missing in it, which cannot be questioned.

"He knew someone would come to kill him." Sherlock replied, "Because he was threatened."

Then John explained to Dimock that Fanku was threatened with a password once in the bank today.

"When the attacker came in, he fired one shot, but the bullet flew through the open window. It's a small chance, but not impossible," John said, but his attitude was not much better than that of the aggressive Sherlock. "You can wait for the report of the ballistic test. Anyway, no matter how you check it, the result will be that the bullet that killed it was not fired from Fanku's gun. I can assure you of this."

"But his door was locked from the inside, so how should the murderer get in?" Dimmock believed the two people in front of him a little bit, but he still needed to ask clearly what should be asked.

"Very well, you've finally asked the right question," Sherlock said, and told him that the murderer got in the same way he got in the bank.
