Just when Sherlock and John got into a taxi and planned to go to the flower shop where Peter Sadowa worked to find him, they were told by a female clerk who also worked in the flower shop of the London Eye that Pete did not come today When he went to work, his cell phone was turned off, which made Sherlock a little worried whether Pete had gotten wind of it and ran away.

To know this, one has to know where Pete lives.

And the saleswoman just happened to know.

When Sherlock came to Suduwa's residence, he was surprised to see the police force deployed there, and it happened that Lestrade led the team, because Sherlock saw Donovan on the outside, and John's Eyes sharper, he saw Lestrade standing just by the window, and Anderson next to him.

Sherlock knew that Donovan would stop him from going in, but he had no intention of wasting time with the female police officer, so he took a look at John, who he knew would understand what he meant.

In fact, John did understand, and because he understood, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Sherlock.

Sherlock has a cell phone, and he wants John to call for him.

John really wanted to feel disgusted by Sherlock's behavior, but he was his assistant, so whether John wanted to or not, he still had to take out his mobile phone and dialed Lestrade's mobile phone—Anyway, Sherlock would always Reimbursed his phone bill.

When John called Lestrade, Sherlock was not idle either. He was using his keen observation skills to observe his surroundings.

First of all, he could conclude that Lestrade didn't know that Pete Sadois was the murderer of Mrs. Temple, so he didn't come to arrest him.Of course, even if Saduwa committed other crimes, he is probably dead by now.

Yes, dead!

Because if it is to capture Sadua, according to the usual practice, Lestrade can of course search for clues in Pete's house, but most of the time he will authorize his subordinates to operate on their own, because Ray Strade is a qualified detective, so he won't do everything himself. After all, his subordinates are not easy to eat. Even if there are newcomers, it is necessary for them to follow the seniors to find clues and learn.

And if Lestrade had to do everything himself, then he wouldn't be able to train more excellent subordinates.

Of course, Lestrade can also teach the newcomers himself, but he also needs to let the newcomers experience it.

Therefore, what Lestrade should do now is to bring the owner of the house, Suduwa, back to Scotland Yard, and interrogate him.

The only reason why Lestrade stayed at the scene for so long was that a dead body was probably found in Saduwa's house, and it was very likely that this body was Saduwa himself.

Sherlock's face was a little serious.

Lestrade quickly came out of the room, and quickly confirmed that Sherlock's deductive reasoning was still very correct.

"The postman saw the body through the window and called the police, saying that someone on his mail route had committed suicide." When Lestrade took Sherlock and John into the scene, he explained: "It turns out he was right. , when we arrived, the gun was still in Saduwa's hand."

Lestrade pointed to the ground, for Peter Sadois' body had been removed, leaving only a pool of blood on the ground.

"At the same time, we also found Mrs. Temple's jewelry box, right here."

The room Saddua lived in was very long and narrow, but after placing furniture on both sides, there was only one aisle left for people to pass through, and this passable position could only accommodate two people walking side by side.

And Mrs. Temple's jewelry box was placed on a white table, as if she was afraid that others would not see it.

And on the wall next to the table are many photos, all of which are the dead Mrs. Temple.

At the same time, Anderson also proudly talked about his guesses and the results of some investigations: "It seems that Dr. Mantero and her wife are customers of the flower shop where Sadua works, and they asked him to send them home every week. One time, Saduwa was the one who sent flowers, which also explained why Mrs. Temple let the murderer in that night, and poured him a glass of water specially."

Unexpectedly, Sherlock didn't tell Anderson to shut up this time, he just pointed to the laundry rack next to the white table, "What's going on over there?" When it was opened, all the washed clothes were pulled out and scattered all over the floor.

"The clothes in dark and light colors were mixed?" Anderson didn't quite understand what Sherlock was asking, so he chose what he thought was a possible answer: "Who knows, that guy might be a psychopath."

This is obviously an irrelevant answer to Sherlock's question, but it can also be regarded as a partial answer to Sherlock's question-this was not done by the police officers of Scotland Yard who obtained the evidence, so it is only possible that Sadova took these clothes out of the washing machine out now.

But what is his purpose in doing this?

Sherlock was lost in thought.

Sherlock's head is like a sophisticated electronic computer, and even in deep thought, it does not prevent him from continuing to look around.

And his observation has always allowed him to gain something.

For example, now, Sherlock has discovered the data cable for direct charging of the mobile phone that is placed on the table with the jewelry box, but where is the most important mobile phone?Sherlock asks John to help him find it, but unfortunately, John, who also has amazing observation skills and amazing eyesight, can't do anything about it.

Maybe the Scotland Yard police officers took it, but John also asked Lestrade when looking for the mobile phone, but his answer was that he couldn't find it either, but he would always find it.

It was as if Saddua's phone had disappeared out of thin air.

This made Sherlock very concerned.

"Does Sadua suffer from mental illness?" John has been working as Sherlock's assistant for a while, and now he always wears white gloves, so when he looks for clues with Sherlock, he will also He put on the gloves, and at this moment in his gloved hand was holding a bottle of medicine, which is taken by patients with mental illness.

It is also used in patients with mania.

John opened the bottle before handing it to Sherlock, but the pills inside made John suspicious.

After several months of time travel and rebirth, John has almost fused the memory of this body, but now he has a little doubt, because in his memory, to be precise, in the memory of the real John Watson, this brand The pills that specifically suppress mania don't seem to be pink.

Or did he remember wrongly?

Anyway, John gave Sherlock the vial he had found, and shared his doubts with him.With his many years of experience in solving cases in Dali Temple, after the initial doubts, he would not think that it was really his memory that was wrong, because it was very likely to be related to solving the case.

While Sherlock was researching the psychotropic drugs in the pill bottle, John began to rummage through the drawers of Sadova's house.

Of course, compared with those Scotland Yard police officers, John obviously has higher intuition and seems to have more experience.He saw Sadua's medical records, which had rice allergies, but if he read correctly, there seemed to be an opened bag of rice in the kitchen.

And Saduwa’s rice allergy experience was three years ago. If this is the case, then the bag of rice in the kitchen should have expired. If it has not expired, then it is a new one. Why did Saduwa buy new rice?

John can be sure that the bag of rice is new, because Sadua is allergic to rice, so he will obviously not eat rice again, so the bag of rice that made him allergic should be thrown away by Sadua immediately.

John handed the medical records to Sherlock, and then went to look at the bag of rice that had been opened without missing a grain of rice.It was ten kilograms of rice sold exclusively in supermarkets, not a well-known brand, and the date was indeed new.

Maybe he didn't eat it himself, but asked others to eat it?But if this is the case, why is there no shortage of rice in it?Or it could be said that the person hasn't come yet, but if the person hasn't come yet, why did Saduwa unseal the rice bag so eagerly?

John took the rice bag off the shelf, opened it, found a large washbasin, and poured out the rice, only to find a mobile phone inside, the battery that had been removed from the mobile phone, and the mobile phone Card.

Combined with the messy clothes that were pulled out of the washing machine that I saw before, I can basically understand it.

It appears that Saddua accidentally dropped the phone along with the clothes in the laundry rack, and by the time he found out it was too late.Rice is a natural desiccant, so Saduwa went to the supermarket and bought a bag of rice to save his phone.

"I have a hunch that Sadua's mobile phone and the medicine he took can tell us a different truth." John put the dried SIM card and mobile phone battery into the mobile phone, showing a smile.

"You know, I think so too." Sherlock took the phone, turned it on cleanly, and unlocked the power-on password, first checking the directory inside.

In addition to Dr. Mantero's home phone number, there is also Dr. Mantero's own mobile phone number in the directory.

The discovery made the corners of Sherlock's mouth twitch slightly.

Continue to check other software, and found some recordings inside, Sherlock opened these recordings, and heard a somewhat familiar voice coming out of the recordings.

"It seems that we can determine who the murderer is." Sherlock came to a conclusion, then he and John looked at each other, and said with a smile, "Good job."

"Don't forget, I'm from Dali Temple." John also replied with a smile, feeling that he had a very enjoyable day.

As expected, he still likes the process of investigating the case, because when the truth is found out, the sense of accomplishment is really addictive.
