[Shen Xia + HP] In the name of a detective

Sherlock will definitely go, and Aurora has believed in this matter from the very beginning.

Sure enough, Sherlock hesitated for a few seconds, opened the car door, and said to Aurora who was standing next to him, "You go back first, and you don't need to inform Greg and the others, I will be back in a while."

Aurora sighed. Since Sherlock decided to go, how could she lose herself? Without any hesitation, she walked around to the car door on the other side, opened the door, got in the car and sat next to Sherlock, shrugged. Pretending to be indifferent, he said, "Since you decided to go, how could I not go? Even if I die, I'm not alone anyway."

The taxi driver thought he could kill two of them at once this time, and suddenly felt that he was making a solid profit no matter what. Naturally, Aurora joined in, shaking his head and stepping on the accelerator, and took the two of them away from the police-intensive place. place.

Judging from what the taxi driver said, the reason why he is so familiar with Sherlock and Aurora is because Sherlock has an admirer who has been silently watching him, and by the way, paying attention to the people around him, This naturally included Aurora as his girlfriend.The taxi driver has not only heard about Sherlock's various deeds, but even visited his website, thinking that he is brilliant and a rare genius.

As for who that Sherlock's admirer or little fanboy is, the taxi driver refused to say more, and kept silent as if "I'll answer this question for you in the next life" when he pressed the question.

Not long after, the taxi stopped, and beside it were several buildings that were pitch black and without the slightest light.Sherlock knowingly asked "Where is this", but the driver who had his specific information obviously knew that he knew the streets of London like the back of his hand, so he didn't answer what he meant, and finally Aurora answered the question for him.

This is the Roland Kerr Institute for Advanced Study. The place is very remote, and the cleaners have not left yet, so the door has not been closed yet. This is definitely a good place to kill people.

The taxi driver was sure that Sherlock would go in by himself, but he still pretended to pull out his gun and pointed the gun at the two of them in the car.Although Sherlock felt that this old-fashioned threat was boring, he still lived up to the taxi driver's expectations and walked in by himself.

Aurora has worked in MI[-] for so long, she still knows the models of guns, and the taxi driver in front of her is obviously fake.She also knew that with Sherlock's knowledge of guns, she must have seen it, but she didn't pierce it. She sighed secretly and followed.

After walking into a hall with long tables, the taxi driver sat across from Sherlock and Aurora, and took out two small glass bottles from his pocket, each containing capsules that looked exactly the same.The difference is that one bottle is poisonous and the other is not. What Sherlock needs to do is to choose one bottle and take it. At the same time, the taxi driver will eat the capsules in the other bottle.

"I didn't expect that Miss Hopps would be willing to come over, but fortunately, I was well prepared and had a bottle of medicine with me." The taxi driver took out a glass of the same size from his pocket. He pushed the bottle in front of Aurora, "It's just that I won't tell you whether this bottle is poisonous or not."

Sherlock, who had been calm since meeting the taxi driver downstairs, changed his expression slightly. For the first time, a nervous expression appeared on his face. He frowned, raised his hand and took the third glass bottle in front of Aurora. Pushing it back, he said unnaturally: "This is a game between us. I will accompany you to the end whatever you want to play. Don't involve her in it."

"My information is indeed true. The famous Sherlock Holmes doesn't care about anyone's feelings or situation, except Miss Hopps." The taxi driver looked at the scene in front of him and smiled with great interest.

"Forget it, Sherlock. Since I'm here, if I don't join your so-called game, he won't let me go." Aurora pursed her lips, glanced at Sherlock next to her, and stretched out her hand to hold the After taking the glass bottle back, he suddenly turned his head and raised his eyebrows at the taxi driver, and asked curiously, "But if I insist on not choosing one of these three bottles and leaving, how will you stop me?"

The taxi driver took out the gun again, pointed it at Aurora's head, and said viciously: "Either you still have a [-]% chance of winning, or I will shoot you in the head. But the interesting thing is, so far no People choose the second way."

Aurora was very calm, unmoved by the taxi driver's threats, she raised her hand and pinned a strand of long hair behind her ears, then crossed her hands on the table in front of her, and said with a smile: " Since this is the case, then I decided to be the first person to choose the latter."

"Are you sure?" The taxi driver was a little surprised, but he still maintained his composure and asked calmly, "Aren't you going to ask Mr. Holmes for advice? Maybe she can't bear your choice."

"Okay, let me ask." Aurora turned her head and smiled at Sherlock, her tone was very perfunctory, and asked casually, "Sherlock, do you support my choice?"

"Of course, no matter what you choose, I will support it." Sherlock raised his hand very cooperatively and rubbed Aurora's long hair that was left untouched because he was in a hurry to go out. He felt that although the hair was a bit messy, it was still very smooth. It felt so good that he didn't want to let go.

Aurora turned her head to look forward, looked directly into the meaningful eyes of the taxi driver opposite without fear, obviously guessed that the gun he was holding in his hand was not a real gun, and replied very firmly : "I asked Sherlock for advice now, and he agreed with me to choose a gun, so please shoot."

Seeing that he could no longer hide the truth, the taxi driver pulled the trigger helplessly.As Aurora expected, there was no deafening gunshot, only a small flame bursting out from the muzzle of the gun. This gun was just a strangely shaped lighter.

Sherlock felt that the taxi driver could no longer play any new tricks, so he folded his hands and began to reason.Judging by his deductive method, the taxi driver is a separated father who lives alone for a long time.His children were taken away by his ex-wife, but he still loves them and misses them terribly.Three years ago, he was told by a doctor that he would die soon, so he began to kill.

The taxi driver kept his face secret, telling Sherlock that these were not the only motives that contributed to his crime.He bluntly said that he can't make much money from driving a taxi to leave to his children, but there is a behind-the-scenes sponsor who is willing to give him financial support.Every time he killed someone, the patron would deposit money into his children's bank accounts.So the more people the taxi driver kills, the better off his kids are.

"Who would sponsor a serial murderer?" Sherlock frowned puzzled.

"Who would be an admirer of Sherlock Holmes?" The taxi driver rolled up his tongue and licked his upper lip, asking rhetorically.

Aurora shook the glass bottle in her hand, and the capsules kept hitting the inner wall with clinking sounds.She thought secretly, so the person who sponsored the taxi driver's crime was the admirer of Sherlock mentioned in the car just now, and the one who "admired" herself by the way.

Later, the taxi driver hinted that it was not just Sherlock who was obsessed with the murder case, nor was it just a "sponsor" or "admirer" alone, but an organization behind him.But when Sherlock continued to ask, he refused to reveal more, just said "there is a name, but everyone keeps silent about it, and of course I won't say it", and urged Sherlock and Aurora Choose among three glass bottles.

Aurora heard what the taxi driver said about the identity of an "admirer", and suddenly remembered the story she had read in a book explaining Harry Potter's heroic deeds, and felt that this unknown "admirer" "He is so mysterious, and he still doesn't let others call him by his name, which is comparable to the "Voldemort" back then.

No matter what Sherlock said, the taxi driver didn't say anything more, resolutely refusing to reveal the identity of the behind-the-scenes sponsor.Seeing that he couldn't get more valuable information, Sherlock stood up, held Aurora's hand next to him, and prepared to leave directly.

The taxi driver knew that there was no way to threaten him and Aurora again, and he was worried that his carefully prepared plan would fail, so he couldn't help panicking.But after all, he is a veteran of murdering four people in a row, and he just thought of other ways to keep Sherlock in a flash.He used verbal provocations to arouse Sherlock's desire to prove his ingenuity, and induced him to try to choose the non-toxic capsule to prove himself.

In fact, in Aurora's view, the capsules contained in the three glass bottles are exactly the same in appearance. Although the difference may be too small to be observed by the naked eye, her intuition still tells her that the three bottles are all pornographic.

Since the person who sponsored the taxi driver's murder was an admirer of Sherlock, the bounty for successfully murdering him must be very high, which is unmatched by the previous four.And he also knows that Sherlock is a "brilliant genius", so the driver is likely to put all his eggs in one basket and prepare drugs in all glass bottles, and exchange his life that may be stopped due to an aneurysm at any time in exchange for thousands of dollars Sherlock's life.

No matter how you think about it, it is very reasonable. Although Aurora has no substantive evidence, she thinks it should be the case.

Aurora believed that Sherlock must have thought of this too, but he was about to step out of this hall and stopped because of the taxi driver's words.He slowly let go of Aurora's hand, turned around at the door, adjusted his coat collar, and was ready to accept the driver's challenge and continue playing this game where one mistaken move would result in death.

The author has something to say:
