When Pei Donglai dressed as John Watson

When the taxi drove to the destination, John regretted that he bought a few bags of things, because it would be a bit undignified to bring these things into the scene of the murder, and there is a certain probability that it will attract dissatisfaction from the relatives and friends of the deceased. , leading to conflicts.

However, these things are all money. Although John is not short of this money, and these things were bought with Sherlock's bank card, he is not yet extravagant enough to throw away the things he has chosen so hard. , and then re-buy the truth.

John really didn't want to take Sherlock to the supermarket anymore, even though he had already decided that he would take Sherlock there at least once a week.

But Sherlock was obviously more decisive than him, and he got off the car as soon as he reached his destination.

When he was about to enter the scene surrounded by a group of Scotland Yard police officers, Sherlock found that John hadn't followed, because he didn't hear John's familiar footsteps that were too light to be heard without listening carefully.

"Come on, John." Sherlock turned around and greeted John, and then he saw his hesitation, and when he even tried to lift a few of the shopping bags, Sherlock understood: "Put the things down." , that taxi driver is from McCoff, and he will deliver our things directly to our home."

John froze for a moment, then he looked at the taxi driver who hadn't turned his head back from the beginning to the end, and the other party turned his head at this moment and nodded to John.

So, he happily threw down the shopping bag, and followed Sherlock with lighter footsteps than before, and walked into the scene together.

The scene of the murder was a villa, and because Lestrade arrived at the front and rear of them, Sherlock and John could just hear the whole scene.

It started when Dr. Richard Mantero came home a few hours ago to find the door of his house open and his wife, Amy Temple, missing.

Dr. Mantero works at the Barts Medical College. It is said that he encountered an emergency last night, so he didn't come back until [-]:[-] in the morning. He saw that the front door was vandalized, so he called the police.

The police officers who arrived at the scene first found that there were signs of struggle in the kitchen and master bedroom, but Mrs. Temple was not found.

After Sherlock finished listening, he just asked, "Have you asked for a ransom?" Then, without waiting for the Scotland Yard police officer who explained the situation to them, he went straight to the living room, because he noticed that there seemed to be something wrong here. Something is wrong.

What was wrong, Sherlock hadn't found out yet, but he knew that Mrs. Temple was probably dead.

But unfortunately, in this murder case, neither the man who should be the husband of the deceased nor the police officers of Scotland Yard found the victim's body, and they didn't even have the possibility of confirming that the other party was dead. corroborating evidence.

This is a frustrating fact.

But this is also when Sherlock can play a role.

Sherlock thinks that Mrs. Temple is dead, but the body must be somewhere in this house, because there is no trace of moving the body at the scene, but there are things that Mrs. Temple messed up when she ran away, and when she chased him. The footprints left by the suspect.

Sherlock watched carefully, and then he discovered that the mistress of the murdered house had fled to her bedroom.

But this is human nature, because when everyone encounters danger, they will subconsciously run to the place that they think is the safest, even if that place is not actually safe.

Because as long as she escapes from the house and calls for help to the neighbors around, she has the possibility of surviving.

After all, no criminal suspect would be willing to risk being discovered and continue to commit murder, unless he was already the murderer in another case and was also discovered, so the can was broken.

And the reason why the hostess didn't do this, or because the way to the door was blocked?

Sherlock inspected the door handle and found that it showed no signs of damage, so the suspect might have been invited into the house.But the bedroom door was broken, which again proved that Mrs. Temple had an argument with the person she had invited into the house. Mrs. Temple then fled to the bedroom. The suspect then destroyed the bedroom door in order to catch Mrs. Temple. doorknob and entered the room.

Sherlock found out from all the signs at the scene that this case was done by an acquaintance, and he may have entered the house more than once.

Then he found shards of glasses in the kitchen, and according to the number of shards of glass, Sherlock found that it was two glasses that were broken.

But the female police officer Donovan, who also inspected the scene and had a bad relationship with Sherlock, had a different opinion, because she thought there was only one glass.

Soon, the fact made her shut her mouth, because John, with his extraordinary eyesight, found the base of the broken glass from the refrigerator and other corners, and when they were put together, they were intact. became two.

The investigation downstairs has temporarily come to an end, and Sherlock feels that the scene can be transferred to the master bedroom on the second floor to find a place where the body may be hidden.

But before that, Sherlock thought he could take another look at what was wrong in the living room.

For example, a few photo frames hanging above the TV.

In the photo frame, there are some photos of Dr. Mantello with a woman with blond hair, or a single photo of Dr. Mantello alone, and some are alone photos of a woman with wine red hair.

One was a woman with burgundy hair, the other a woman with blond hair, and one of them must have been Dr. Mantello's wife.

But who is the other one?

The women in the photographs were all young, and the furnishings suggested that Mrs. Temple and Dr. Mantero would not have been married for more than ten years, and they had no children.In a family, there can be photos of brothers and sisters in the photo album, but there should not be photos of irrelevant women in the photo frame hanging on the wall for everyone to see.

Sherlock has a guess, but he needs some circumstantial evidence to prove that his deduction is reasonable.

So he asked Lestrade, "Have you found Mrs. Temple's mobile phone?"

"Of course." Lestrade nodded, and asked Donovan to bring over Mrs. Temple's mobile phone as evidence.

Sherlock got the phone, and couldn't wait to unlock it to check the contents of the gallery inside, and found that there were also photos of the two women on the photo frame.

However, Sherlock also found some problems in it.

For example, apart from their different hair and faces, the two women's figures and heights can be said to be exactly the same in comparison with the surrounding buildings and furnishings.

And looking at the time of the photos, the photos of the obviously blonde woman existed for a longer time, while the photos of the woman with wine red hair were all within the past two years.

It's plastic surgery!

Sherlock came to this conclusion.

These are not two different women, but they are the same person.Different faces can have plastic surgery, and the color of hair can be dyed, but Sherlock feels that neither of these two faces is particularly outstanding, so he doesn't understand what is Mrs. Temple's motivation for plastic surgery.

Because every woman does not have any stronger motivation for plastic surgery than trying to make herself more beautiful.

Unless she wanted to have plastic surgery to look like someone else because she had committed a crime, so that people would not recognize her, but this was unlikely, otherwise she would not have put out her previous photos unscrupulously.

Or, she wants to inherit the things of the original woman with her new face, but this possibility is also unlikely, because the identity information can be easily found out, and the woman must have enough to make people's heart beat. wealth, otherwise, which woman is willing to become another person?

And it is impossible for Sherlock not to be impressed by a woman with such wealth.

"Anything to gain?" John asked.

If it was someone else, even Lestrade, Sherlock would not be willing to answer during the deduction process, but John is different, so he nodded naturally, and said: "Mrs. Plastic surgery. You can see that the oval photo frames on the wall are very old, obviously used for a long time, while the square photo frames are relatively new, as can be seen from the traces behind them, and they are all Temple A solo photo of Mrs."

What Sherlock pointed out, the traces covered by the square photo frame, was the oval photo frame that was originally hung, and when it was taken off after being hung for several years, the color was obviously different from the surrounding white walls.

"Is it a coincidence? Of course not." Sherlock shook the phone in his hand, then put it in front of John, and showed him.

And Lestrade also stepped in, wanting to find out.

"Look, none of the photos on the phone are older than two years, but there are many photos of other people, at least five years ago. So, Mrs. Temple has plastic surgery, and I think Dr. Mantero can do it Confirmed that my interpretation was correct."

The author has something to say: In the face of such a twitching 123 romance, I managed to update it?It's a miracle.
