Chapter 53 The Case Before the Christmas Chapter

"33 times, Sherlock." Watson put down the coffee cup in his hand, and glanced at the mobile phone on the table from the corner of his eye. He really didn't understand what Sherlock did. He neither checked the text message nor changed the ringtone.

Nina blinked, and instantly understood the meaning of Watson's words. He was very familiar with Sherlock's cell phone and had used it at least once. "...you..." Nina just uttered a sound, she It was then that Sherlock raised his head.

"Obviously someone has personalized the text message ringtone of the mobile phone, cat meowing, piano music or other sounds, it just reflects a purpose." Sherlock twitched the corner of his mouth and said explanatoryly.

"It's like he doesn't care whether the earth revolves around the sun or not." Watson continued. He believed that he could remember this event for at least a while, and his impression would become deeper and deeper.

"..." Nina couldn't describe her feelings at this moment for a moment, as if she was stabbed by a needle and then knocked out by something even more shocking.

"That's not important, Nina, you should believe that most people's heads are like trash cans, messy and full of garbage, and useful information can't be found. The earth revolves around the sun or the moon, yes We don't make any sense."

Nina blinked and exchanged glances with Watson. It was hard for her to imagine that Sherlock would forget such basic knowledge. She only knew that Sherlock knew nothing about literature, but if it was Sherlock Holmes, he would have everything. possible.

Watson gave Nina an understanding look, "Do we need to go to the suburbs now, Sherlock?" What to do.

"It's not us, it's you, John, maybe bring your girlfriend." Sherlock closed the notebook and corrected, "You can treat it as a vacation, try to stay in the mountain hotel, don't stay, if you are alone during the day , the other party will most likely tell you that it is full, and I will send you the specific area."

Sherlock said quickly, and he had already stood up and walked to the cloakroom. "Go to Scotland Yard, Nina, Greg will be looking into this, I need certain information, lorry driver's profile, description, victim's information, scene identification...although they lack details [-]/[-] out of [-] , full of loopholes."

"Hope he's not bored, the criminals in London are hibernating!"

"You know, there is no case. He has been anxious for a long time, and today he is quite pleasant... just now." Watson turned his head and said to Nina helplessly.

"I think he should have a case in his hand." Nina smiled and said, agreeing with Watson's words in her heart, "...his cell phone, at least Sherlock won't change the ringtone to... um... that kind of sound , someone is sending him a text message, which may prove that the case is still going on, but it’s been a little longer.”

"...You are correct." Watson hesitated for a moment and said, maybe everyone who stays with Sherlock will be more or less willing to use reasoning to analyze things?

"Has he always looked like this?" Huasheng twitched the corners of his mouth, looked into the cloakroom, and asked casually.

"Probably, Sherlock has been like this since I met him. I'll go to Scotland Yard first. Be careful on the road, Mr. Watson." Nina smiled and said kindly, "Maybe soon, we will meet somewhere See you in the suburbs."

"The first few corpses have been claimed by their parents. They may be happily going on vacation and camping, but they didn't expect to encounter such a thing." Jasmine said emotionally, leading Sherlock to the two corpses covered in white cloth .

"These are the last two bodies, and they will be removed tomorrow too, um... you know because it was a car accident, it's difficult to maintain integrity."

"Thank you, Jasmine." Sherlock interrupted Jasmine, grabbed a corner of the white cloth with his hands, revealing two corpses, a man and a woman.

"You can stay here, Sherlock, I'll leave first." Jasmine understood Sherlock's habits very well, and said, leaving Sherlock in the huge morgue.

When a van collides with a car, no matter how high-end it is, you are never lucky, and these two dead bodies aptly exemplify this.

Sherlock never wears special gloves except when necessary.Standing in front of the female corpse, Sherlock sized it up from head to toe. The corpse began to show normal corpse spots. There were many mechanical injuries on the body, and the abdomen below was almost severely damaged by the strong impact.

Sherlock went around to the head of the corpse, brushing the woman's hair with his hands.

[(Neck: obvious pinch marks, marks of teeth on the collarbone? ≠ cathartic desire) (wrist: marks of binding, appropriate width, slight sticky feeling → wide tape, etc.) (finger gaps: sawdust, blood → may be related to murderer) (body scars: different time, scars caused by various instruments? abused? including baseball bats, percussion strength)]

Sherlock suddenly stopped to check, walked to the male body, and looked at the back of the man's head and the scars on his body.There were two wounds on the head of the male corpse. The murder weapon was also a baseball bat, and the strength and direction of the percussion were different.

When attacked, the victim was obviously in a different position, → There may be an immovable chair in the room, and the murderer's height is about 180cm.

As soon as Lestrade came out of the conference hall, he saw Nina waiting in front of the door, and felt a burst of emotion in his heart. Compared with Sherlock, who might be angry at any time and made him want to hit someone, seeing Nina appear It was a very comforting thing to be at Scotland Yard.

He has always been curious about how Watson and Nina managed to escape (tolerate) Sherlock's strange temper.

Although he also has a certain experience in this regard.

"Long time no see, Roberts, nice to see you again." Lestrade asked, "Which case is Sherlock following again?"

"A series of unusual car accidents, trucks colliding with cars, there were three in total, Inspector." Nina said frankly, "If possible, can I see the relevant information?"

Lestrade thought that Nina was here for other cases, and when she heard Nina talking about the car accident, she showed a slight look of astonishment. "I know you're here for the material, but I don't think there's anything special about these three car accidents. The road where car accidents happen is a common place, and it's late at night, so some accidents are inevitable."

"This way," Lestrade said to Nina, "maybe Sherlock can see something, but I really hope it's not a deliberate murder, London has never been short of serial murders. If those damned criminals can If it stops for a day or two, I will wake up laughing from my dreams.”

Nina shrugged her shoulders and smiled, she was noncommittal to Lestrade's words, "I thought it was you, Inspector, who sent those photos of the scene to Sherlock."

"No, of course not," Lestrade retorted immediately, "it may be that someone happened to post it on the Internet."

"About the car accident, you never thought of other possibilities? For example, it was not an accident."

Lestrade thought for a while, his face was a little embarrassed, and it took a while to get better, "To be honest, at first I thought you came because of the recent disappearance cases, because the child of a certain official was involved. The bureau had to be on the alert.

As for the car accident, the death report showed that the victim was indeed killed in a car accident, and one of the truck drivers was even drunk. In fact, you only need to look at the topographic maps of those three places to understand. "

As Lestrade said, he walked to the reference room and asked Nina to wait for a while before Lestrade came out with a box of documents, "You can only read it here and make relevant records. , take pictures, but no takeout, that's the rule, Roberts."

"Maybe I have to bring a pen and paper with me in the future to come here." Nina said half-jokingly.

Lestrade relaxed, and smiled, "I really don't know what's weird about these three car accidents, maybe they were abused more or less before, and after you read the documents, you won't think about it." Surprised."

"You can read the papers right here, Roberts, I hope it's just an ordinary car accident," Lestrade said with a wry smile.

After Lestrade left, Nina carried the file box into the lounge, carefully opened the seal, and took out the files one by one.

Lestrade was right. Indeed, after reading the information about the two couples, few people would be surprised by the scars on their bodies.

The first husband was violent, divorced once, and after the second marriage he was violent again towards his wife.It can also be seen from the descriptions of nearby neighbors that they can often see the scars on the woman's arms.

The situation of the second is similar to this, no wonder Scotland Yard will choose to turn a blind eye to the wounds on several people.

Nina suddenly thought of it, and casually opened a piece of white paper from the table, briefly listed the table, and wrote the words male violent tendency in the same column.

"Sherlock?" Jasmine half pushed the door and looked inside, "You have finished the inspection, have you gained anything?" Jasmine glanced at the two corpses that had been covered with white cloth again, and walked to the gas chromatograph. Sherlock.

"Not too much" Sherlock stood up suddenly, walked to the male corpse, lifted the white cloth, opened the other's mouth with his hands, and looked inward, "Obviously, they all died of murder, took sleeping pills, and the murderer ran a family A small hotel, a log cabin, closed all around, with a fixed chair in the room, and a poor-quality gray blanket on the floor.

Such hotels can be seen everywhere in the suburbs outside London, where did they die!

Oh, a smoker, more than five years old, white velvet, gagging his mouth with a white cloth to prevent him from making any sound, useless, where on earth did they find that hotel. "
