Chapter 30 Diamond Theft 1

The British Museum, located in Great Russell Square, north of New Oxford Street, London, has undergone several centuries of reconstruction and construction, and this ancient building complex has always looked more majestic and magnificent.On both sides of the main entrance of the museum, there are 8 thick and tall Roman columns, each of which has a triangular top with a huge relief carved on it.It has always attracted a large number of visitors from all over the world to visit and appreciate it because of the huge ancient relics, historical materials and countless rare treasures contained in it. It can be said that the British Museum is the place where all tourists come to London, England. One of the must-visit places.

But when Sherlock and John got out of the taxi, they found that this place, which is usually crowded with tourists, is now deserted, and the whole building is surrounded by countless yellow warning tapes. Either standing guard or hurrying in and out of a large number of Scotland Yard police.

"Hey, lunatic!" On the edge of the square, the only way to the museum, the female police officer in a black police uniform and with brown fluffy long curly hair was leaning against the yellow police tape with her arms crossed, with a mocking follow on her face. Oncoming Sherlock greeted him.

"Oh, why are you here? I'm looking for Lestrade." Sherlock stopped in dissatisfaction, and John, who followed behind him, also had to stop.

"Why did you seek the Inspector?"

"He sent me here."

"Why?" Officer Donovan asked knowingly.Of course she knew in her heart that Inspector Lestrade had asked him to help investigate the diamond theft case, and he had publicly promised in the underground parking lot that Sherlock would not see her at the crime scene, which made the Donovan, who was present, had been dissatisfied for a long time.So after taking the opportunity to learn that the great detective would come to the scene this afternoon, she deliberately avoided Inspector Lestrade and ran to the place that must pass to enter the museum to intercept him.

"I think he just wants me to come to the scene to see what clues we can find." Sherlock shrugged innocently.

"Then you know what I think?"

"I always knew."

"I don't want to know why you lunatic announced your return to London with a high profile, and why you continued to get involved in our case investigation. But, I just want you to make one thing clear, that is, our police don't need your help! "

"Oh, I didn't come to help you on purpose, Lestrade begged me to come." Seeing Donovan's righteous expression, Sherlock tilted his head and looked even more innocent.

"The inspector called you here because he was out of his mind?"

"Who knows this?"

"You are as disgusting as ever!"

"You too!"

"All of us will be killed by you, you..."

"Hello, Officer Donovan. Can we go in?" John came out from behind Sherlock, pulled the yellow cordon over his head, and strode in first, standing in front of Officer Donovan. In front of her, she interrupted her next words that might be even more unpleasant.

"Hi, Dr. John Watson, long time no see." Officer Donovan treated John much better than Sherlock.Unfortunately, John is not feeling happy at all now.Please, his man was bullied by an outsider, even if the outsider is a lady!Sherlock can only be taught by him or the Sherlock Holmes family, and it will never be the turn of this woman named Donovan to say something bad about him! !

"I'm not well, Officer Donovan, given your poor treatment of my partner. I thought I'd have a good talk with Inspector Lestrade about your presence at the crime scene at this very moment and your attitude towards Summer. Locke's words are rude. Excuse me, if you have nothing else to do, can you let me go?"

"I……"

"Also, you, the woman who almost indirectly killed Sherlock two years ago, are not qualified to speak ill of him, not even a word! Otherwise, you will see how powerful a military doctor who once invaded Afghanistan is. I'm not Sherlock, I don't have any gentlemanly demeanor to a woman who insults my lover, please remember!!" John mercilessly gave this man who was always defiant and liked to sneer at Sherlock The female police officer with the sternest warning.John didn't mean to be joking at all, and if he heard the female police officer insult Sherlock again next time, he would give her a hard hook up from the chin, and another punch Open the bow left and right, so that she will never have to speak again in the future.

"You can't do that, Dr. Watson!" Donovan glared bitterly at the big detective who was still standing outside the yellow line with his cold eyes watching the show.People like Sherlock Holmes also have lovers?What an international joke!Could it be that Dr. Watson was forced to have a relationship?

"What are you staring at? If you stare again, I'll dig out your eyeballs and give them to Sherlock as an experiment!" John became even more dissatisfied after seeing Police Officer Donovan's resentful stare at Sherlock. After warning Donovan Officer Wan also turned his head to look at Sherlock who was still standing outside the cordon, and said in a flat tone, "Why are you still standing there? Come here quickly, Inspector Lestrade is already waiting for us inside."

. "

"Donovan, don't think that I don't know that you didn't come home last night. Although you have been washed, there are still marks on your body. I don't think Anderson knows that you didn't come home after hanging out in the bar last night. Right?" Sherlock first showed a comforting smile to John, then slowly raised the cordon and stepped in, and then, when passing by Officer Donovan, quietly whispered in her ear Said.

"You freak, bastard!"

"I can only say that Anderson's family is really unlucky to see you." Sherlock turned his head to look at Officer Donovan, whose face was gloomy, and sighed lightly.

"Sherlock, don't make trouble anymore." John warned Sherlock in a tone without the slightest reproach, while stretching out his hand to grab the detective's cool palm, and slowly clasped his fingers together, holding them tightly.

"I didn't!" Sherlock curled his lips in dissatisfaction, it was obviously that damned woman Donovan who came to him to make trouble!The so-called non-reciprocity is indecent, people have sent them to his door for his entertainment, so how could he have the nerve not to bully him?Although his brain will automatically and spontaneously filter out most meaningless people, things and nonsense, but the few bad words of this Police Officer Donovan happened to be recorded by him, and they Holmes The family tradition is that every revenge must be revenged.For Inspector Lestrade and Anderson's sake, he won't kill this woman, but that doesn't prevent him from playing tricks, does it?

"Whether you have it or not, it's Officer Donovan's fault!" John has always followed the principle of internal unity and consistent external actions.

"Tsk, it is." Sherlock took John's hand and nodded in agreement.

"But, you..."

"Thank goodness, you two are finally here!" Just as John was about to educate Sherlock on how to behave, the door of the museum was pushed open from the inside, and Inspector Lestrade was standing in front of the door in a black trench coat. He walked quickly down the marble steps towards them, and soon stood in front of John and the others.Inspector Lestrade already knew that Sherlock and John had begun to enter the museum after receiving the notification from the security police outside, so he couldn't wait and decided to come out to greet the two of them in person.

"Inspector Lestrade, how is your investigation going?" John looked up at Inspector Lestrade who was standing on the stairs above him, and asked first.

"Our police still don't have any clue about this damn case." Detective Inspector Lestrade's face was rather haggard. It looked much different from when he sent them back to Baker Street yesterday. It seemed that it was exactly what he said. I'm so busy with this case.

"Times have changed, but bad things are still there. I'm about to get married, why is the IQ and ability of all your Scotland Yard policemen still spinning?" Sherlock raised his chin and looked at Inspector Lestrade with dissatisfaction. His tone was still full of arrogance and disdain within his power.

"John, are you okay?" Lestrade tried his best to ignore this big detective who always spoke ruthlessly.Instead, he looked worriedly at the former military doctor standing next to the detective.During the call with Sherlock at noon today, he knew that the former military doctor must have been tortured by the big detective after returning to 221B yesterday, and today he deliberately followed Sherlock to the crime scene, even if he was a body Strong and strong fighters will not be able to bear it, right?

"I……"

"Come on, Lestrade. Is John okay? I just need to know. Why are you so fussy?" Sherlock interrupted John just as he was about to speak.

"I just cared about my friend out of good intentions, how could I offend you?" Lestrade muttered dissatisfied.

"John is mine, you don't need to care about it!" The childish temper hidden in Sherlock was aroused again.

"I know I know! John Watson is yours, so it's okay?" Inspector Lestrade knew this "little kid" who would never grow up in mental age, so he naturally knew what to do. How to coax him.However, apart from challenging difficult and mysterious cases, this was the first time he felt that Sherlock had a childlike desire for a person.Well, as expected, there is a pit for each carrot, and Sherlock, a stupid carrot, is planted in John's pit and cannot climb out.

"Sherlock, shut up!" As soon as John's words came out, Sherlock's mouth, which was slightly opened to fight back with sharper words, also closed subconsciously.Seeing that the effect was good, John turned to Inspector Lestrade in satisfaction, "Lestrade, let's talk as we walk? My health is fine, thank you for your concern."

"That's all right," Inspector Lestrade said as they walked.He wouldn't admit that seeing Sherlock's pitiful look of daring to be angry and staring dryly, secretly laughing up to the sky in his heart!Tell this detective to bully him, see, now the retribution has come, John is really Sherlock's ultimate nemesis!Of course, the inspector still maintains the usual upright expression on his face. Can he not know how small the big detective is?He wouldn't be stupid enough to let himself bump into the muzzle of a gun.

"I mean it, Sherlock will love this case."

"I know." Hearing Lestrade's words, John couldn't help recalling Sherlock's excited look at home all day. The detective liked it.

"I don't like it too much." Sherlock retorted.Well, he just... just liked it a little bit.

"Anyway, as long as you are interested." Lestrade finally concluded.After years of verification, he believes that as long as this great detective is interested, there are probably no difficult and miscellaneous cases in this world that he cannot solve, right?As long as Sherlock is on the move, one detective is worth hundreds of Scotland Yard policemen.

So, shouldn't he be thankful that he lives in a world where Sherlock Holmes exists?As a friend and witness, it is a great honor to personally participate in most of the magical and weird experience of the world's only consulting detective with a super high IQ, which is rare in history.He believed that if nothing else happened, his ordinary Scotland Yard inspector should also be famous in history.

"You people from Scotland Yard have been wandering here for three days, and you still haven't found anything?" After passing the Greco-Roman Museum and the Western Asia Museum, you finally passed through the long corridor full of European classical styles, and entered the police-heavy hall. The special jewelry exhibition area in the guarded European Medieval Museum of Artifacts.After walking into a complete exhibition area, the expression on Sherlock's face became serious, and his light green eyes gradually returned to calmness and absolute reason.

"No." He waved to the policeman next to him to signal everyone to make room, and Lestrade followed him in, and continued to explain to Sherlock: "I have strictly prohibited anyone from interfering with the destruction scene, you now The place to go in remains the same as when we came to the scene that day."

"Very good." Sherlock nodded in satisfaction, followed by Shen He and took the two pairs of special gloves handed over by the police next to him, handed one pair to John who was standing beside him naturally, and quickly handed over the other After wearing a pair in his hand, he took out a simple magnifying glass from the pocket of the gray woolen windbreaker, reached out to open it, and squatted down in front of the glass cover of the stolen diamond exhibition, and began to examine it carefully.

"We received a report call from the museum at about 5 o'clock the morning before yesterday." Inspector Lestrade stood at a safe distance that would not disturb Sherlock's work, and while paying close attention to Sherlock's movements, he recounted responsibly All the details he knew about the theft, "Then, our police quickly sent people to the scene, but when we came, the red silk cloth inside the bulletproof glass cover was already empty, and it should have contained The diamonds are gone too."

"When did the museum learn about the theft?" Sherlock asked while groping.

"Around 4:30 the morning before yesterday."

“早晨4点30分?”夏洛克皱起眉头看向雷斯垂德,语气满是疑惑不满的询问:“那么,4点30分到报案的5点钟之间整整30分钟的时间里,博物馆里倒底发生了什么事?”

"This...they probably just don't want to say anything, so they want to use the museum's own power to search for the diamond's whereabouts?"

"Should? I have to say, Lestrade, you are still the same idiot who has not made any progress in solving the case two years ago! Such an important question, you police have given me an uncertain answer! Are you here? Didn't you even think of such a simple question after staying for a few days?" Sherlock raised his head and glanced directly at Inspector Lestrade with an oppressive look.

"Well, this is indeed our police's mistake." Inspector Lestrade, who was speechless after being questioned, had to honestly bow his head and admit his mistake.

"You police have never been right!" Sherlock commented later. W, well, the Scotland Yard police once again successfully played the role of stupid and ignorant idiot in the eyes of Sherlock!
