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

Chapter 12 The Murder Case of Pet Dog Eric

After sitting down with Li Chengzhi, Aurora opened the mobile phone interface and sent a text message to Sherlock: "There is no case today, and I have a dinner with Orange Juice. ——AH"

After a while, a reply was sent over there: "Address?——SH"

After Aurora saw it, she was puzzled, "Why are you asking this?——AH"

And the answer she received was this: "With a detailed address, the salary will be doubled. ——SH"

Aurora bowed her head and pondered for a moment, then suddenly wanted to tease him, and replied: "Orange Juice is also his, so he already knew about my movements today. Even if you have the detailed address, it is not the first-hand information. ——AH”

After the last text message was successfully sent, the mobile phone text message notification tone never rang again, it seemed that Sherlock had given up.

Li Chengzhi on the side watched Aurora fiddling with her mobile phone "in full swing" (he thought), and couldn't help but joked, "Are you in touch with your Mr. Holmes again?"

Aurora gave him a sideways look, put down her phone, and quietly watched Song Jiuhua bring out the dishes one by one.

When Li Chengzhi saw the newly served braised lion's head, he immediately lost the interest to tease Aurora. He picked one up and put it on the plate, then cut it into small pieces and put it in his mouth.

"It's been a long time since I've eaten such an authentic lion's head!" He praised.His table manners were impeccable and his speech and manner were all appropriate.

Aurora didn't move her chopsticks. She remembered the traditional Chinese etiquette that her mother Su Liushuang had told her, and she couldn't help questioning: "Is it appropriate for you to start before the hostess comes out?"

Before Li Chengzhi could answer, Song Jiuhua, who was adding vegetables, heard it, and said with a slight smile, "It's okay, my husband is out to entertain, so you don't need to worry about him. How about trying my steamed shrimp with minced garlic!"

Seeing that the master agreed, Aurora could no longer hold back her long-suffering appetite, and immediately picked up a steamed shrimp and put it in her mouth. The taste full of memories almost made her tears well up: "Well, Mrs. Rogers , your craftsmanship is really good!"

"You're welcome, just call me Jiuhua." Song Jiuhua smiled and said, "Actually, our family Eric also likes to eat this."

"Eric?" Upon hearing this name, Aurora's first reaction was the stray dog ​​in the nearby street, and she had teased Sherlock with this name.

Song Jiuhua looked towards the second floor and explained, "That's a puppy my husband picked up from the side of the road."

Aurora followed her gaze, and saw Eric suddenly saw so many strangers, arched his back, and stood at the end of the stairs as if he was facing a big enemy, a bit like "one man guards the gate, ten thousand men Don't open" momentum, high spirits, no appearance of wandering the streets in the past.

Call it a puppy, are you serious?

"I said why I haven't seen it on the street for a long time. It turned out that it was brought home by Mr. Rogers." Aurora saw the "old acquaintance", shrugged and said.

"I can see Eric on the road every day, and I don't take it home to adopt when I get acquainted with it. Luoluo, this really looks like your style of doing things. You are ruthless and have no sympathy." After tasting all the dishes, he finally let his mouth relax.

"If my sympathy overflowed, I would have died as early as the first time I saw you. If I really counted, I would have been killed by you." Ollora would mention Li Chengzhi from time to time, causing The frequency of her failure in the task and almost dying in the line of duty was comparable to Li Chengzhi's repayment of the money.

Li Chengzhi was quite helpless: "Can you stop bringing this up so often? At that time, the two of us didn't know each other well, so it's normal to be on guard against you."

"Okay, don't mention it, and then don't always remind me to pay back the money, as if you are short of money, big boss." Aurora turned back very unconvinced.

Song Jiuhua watched the two of them arguing with each other, plus Aurora came to the banquet as Li Chengzhi's female companion, so he naturally misunderstood their relationship and thought it was a young couple fighting. Feeling cursing, he smiled and went to entertain other guests.

"Look, Jiuhua can't stand your strong words anymore. Besides, isn't it a matter of course to pay back the debt? It has nothing to do with whether I lack money or not." Li Chengzhi looked at Song Jiuhua's back, and made use of the topic.

Aurora crossed her arms, with an attitude of fearlessness, Xingshi asked, "You still have the nerve to ask me for money? Tell me, how much favor did Aubrey give you, and asked you to speak well of him in front of me? Does it also include daily surveillance?"

Li Chengzhi just opened his mouth and was about to say something when he was interrupted by a sudden ringtone from the landline on the second floor.

"Willyoustillloveme, whenIamnolongeryoungandbeautifulWillyoustillloveme, whenIgotnothingbutmyachingsoul

The melodious retro singing sounded, soft and dull, exciting.

Song Jiuhua smiled apologetically at the guests present, left his seat, climbed the stairs, and hurried to the second floor to answer the phone.

At the same time, the old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall of the living room began to strike the hour.A door above opened slowly, and the little bird hiding in it flew out, and uttered "cuckoo-cuckoo-".

Eric seemed to be stimulated, suddenly became angry, jumped down from the end of the stairs, and threw Song Jiuhua who was going upstairs to the ground.

Bright red blood flowed out from the back of her head continuously, first sticking to her black hair, and then soaking the snow-white carpet.

Seeing this, Aurora immediately stopped the meaningless quarrel with Li Chengzhi, picked up her mobile phone and called the hospital and Scotland Yard respectively.

Lestrade on the other side of the phone was a little helpless after hearing her explain the cause and effect clearly, and said, "Even if the deceased is your friend, you can't transfer the personnel of Scotland Yard for public conspiracy. We don't care about accidental casualties."

Aurora was very dissatisfied when she heard this, and her tone was full of anxiety: "First, she is not dead yet, and she may not necessarily die. Please call her a victim. Second, this is not an accident. Come here in person immediately."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Lestrade complained silently about Aurora's temper in his heart, and then sent Sherlock a text message by mistake.

"233 Forest Road, Aurora is in danger, go quickly."

Sherlock, who was still studying the properties of soil in the living room on the second floor of 221B Baker Street, glanced at the newly received text message and recalled Aurora's abilities in various aspects, so he didn't intend to ignore it at first.But after dropping the wrong reagent for the third time, he finally decided to give up the experiment.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And here, Aurora is still conducting on-site surveys.

Li Chengzhi's tone was tinged with schadenfreude: "Luoluo, it seems that you are busy again."

Aurora took a few steps back and said with a look of disgust: "Since the day I met you four years ago when I failed the first mission, every time I see you, something bad always happens. For example, last time That murder in the apartment, like now."

"You're here again, so let's not mention it." Li Chengzhi shrugged helplessly, expressing that he never expected Aurora to stop mentioning this matter.

"Just now you said that I was ruthless and unjust, so wouldn't you be even more sympathetic? Your friend was murdered in front of you and is still being rescued in the hospital. His life and death are unknown. You are still in the mood to make fun of me here." Lola already knew what kind of person Li Chengzhi was, but she still pretended to accuse him. After all, she refused to let go of any chance to scold him.

"I'm ruthless, and it's not like you don't know it. In our business, if sympathy overflows, I would have died a hundred times." Li Chengzhi admitted, "and , Song Jiuhua is not a friend, but a fellow of mine. I have no friends."

Hearing this, Aurora blinked her dry eyes, and her dark pupils contained some inexplicable and unexplainable emotions, like surprise, resentment, and disappointment.

She was silent and didn't answer.

"Except for you." After Li Chengzhi took a deep breath, he added three words.

"What?" Aurora, who was still immersed in her little emotions, didn't react immediately.

Seeing that she really believed his last sentence, Li Chengzhi felt amused, and repeated it again: "I have no friends except you."

At this time, Aurora had already understood that Li Chengzhi was teasing her just now, pinched his ear severely, and asked, "Do you still want to stand by and watch like last time?"

She provoked each other with words, trying to persuade Li Chengzhi to participate in solving the case.

"I'm not supposed to get involved in this matter." Li Chengzhi made his position clear, and then joked, "What's more, even a blind person can see that this has something to do with the chime of the clock, don't you need my help to get rid of it?" Solve the case?"

"Okay, okay, you have your principles, and I have my responsibilities. We will not interfere with each other and coexist peacefully." Aurora took Eric, who had just had a catastrophe, to the second floor, and then hid in it Behind him, he said, "However, it is always possible to help me set the watch to the hour."

"Cuckoo - Cuckoo -" The old-fashioned clock on the wall struck the time again.

Eric, who was standing at the end of the stairs, was indifferent.

Aurora frowned, thinking hard: "No way, could it be that we thought wrong?"

Li Chengzhi was also taken aback by the result, and murmured: "Aside from telling the time on the hour, what other sounds..."

"Ringtones!"

"Ringtones!"

The two spoke in unison.

Li Chengzhi dialed Song Jiuhua's mobile phone tacitly, and turned on the speakerphone.

"Itistoolate to apologize. Itistoolate. (It's too late to apologize now. It's too late.)" A high-pitched male voice sounded from the landline on the second floor.

"He actually changed the ringtone of his phone." Li Chengzhi couldn't believe that the murderer was so stupid.

"It's really trying to cover up." Aurora smiled contemptuously and took the words.

The author has something to say:

Such a good girl was written to death by me, I am really not reconciled.

Has the relationship line made such a slight progress?

In fact, the Los Angeles combination (Su Luo x Li Chengzhi) is also very cute~~
