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

According to the information in the file, Andrew West disappeared after saying goodbye to his fiancée last night.He was found at Battersea station, but the bus smart card he was carrying had no record of use, and no ticket stub was found on the body.

So how did he end up at Battersea Station?

Just after carefully reading the information at hand, Sherlock and Watson, who had just left the house for a long time, returned home, and swarmed to the basement of the house with Inspector Lestrade, whom they had not seen for a long time. Found a pair of sneakers.

According to Sherlock's explanation, the drug addict kidnapped a woman as a hostage, installed a drug on her body, and formally challenged Sherlock through the woman's voice.Sherlock must solve the mystery within twelve hours before the woman can be rescued, and the mystery before him is the pair of sneakers in the basement.

"Interesting, this is the day I've been waiting for. Aurora, are you sure you don't want to join us?" Sherlock squatted on the ground, took out the magnifying glass he carried with him from his coat pocket, and began to study the pair of sneakers on the floor.

"Let's talk about it after I finish investigating the case that Mycroft handed over to me. After all, it's an important national case, and it's better to resolve it earlier." Aurora hesitated for a moment, and refused again.

The first step in Aurora's investigation is to find Andrew West's fiancée Lucy, and learn more about it through her conversation.

"No, he won't." After hearing Aurora's doubts about West, who was regarded as a colleague, his fiancée Lucy immediately denied the guess.

"Everything is unpredictable, and everything can happen." Although Aurora didn't say it directly, she still hinted that Lucy should not think things too simply. She may not know all of Andrew West, he is very likely He stole the memory stick on purpose.

"Westy is not a traitor! This is a bloody mouth!" Lucy said that she completely believed in her fiancé's character, and was furious at the suspicion of Aurora and the person who sent her to investigate, "His superiors are all Think of it this way, the young man is about to get married, but he has a lot of debts. But who hasn't owed debts? Westy will not betray the country to pay the debts!"

Aurora did not refute Lucy. Maybe there is something hidden about this matter. Maybe Andrew West is not what they guessed. He stole the memory stick and sold it in exchange for state secrets in order to pay off the debt. personal interests.She patted Lucy's knee reassuringly, expressing that she believed her words, and continued to ask: "Can you tell me what happened last night?"

"We didn't go out last night, just stayed in the room and watched DVDs. Westy usually dozes off, but last night he didn't. He stayed awake all the time and didn't say a word." Lucy recalled last night My beloved fiancé was still leaning against her to watch a DVD. This morning, that living life completely disappeared in this world. His expression suddenly became very painful, and he continued intermittently, "Then he suddenly said, Go out and meet someone."

"Don't you know who he is going to meet?" Aurora keenly captured this detail, and instinctively told her that the person Andrew West was going to meet must be related to this matter, so she asked.

However, Lucy just bit her lower lip tightly and shook her head in pain.

Just when Aurora finished her investigation and went out, a person pushing a bicycle happened to be outside the door. After seeing Lucy, he said hello, "Liz, honey, are you okay?"

After some introduction from Lucy, Aurora knew that the person she disliked at the first meeting was her brother Joe. After he heard that Aurora was here to investigate West's case, he spoke to her His tone was very unfriendly: "You tell those people to stop meddling in their own business! This is really ridiculous!"

Aurora nodded falsely calmly, and she swore that she had seen embarrassment and panic from Joe's expression just now.

Maybe he was the one Andrew West was going to meet last night.

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

After running outside for a few days, Aurora finally thought of going to check on Sherlock's progress, but as soon as she stepped into the gate of 221B Baker Street, she smelled the smell of sex upstairs. , and heard a loud quarrel.

"Sherlock, how many lives are in danger! That's a fresh human life!" Watson may have realized that he was too excited, so he calmed down for a few seconds, and then asked, "Tell me, don't you understand these at all?" Do you care?"

"What's the use of caring? Can it save people? Did you see me clearly today?" Sherlock asked three questions in a row, then folded his fingers to support his chin, and said, "I've let you down."

"Very good, the deduction is not bad at all." Hua smiled angrily, resting his forehead on the back of the sofa, as if he wanted to argue with Sherlock to the end.

"John, don't engage in those hero worships." Sherlock continued indifferently, "Heroes never exist, and even if there are, it doesn't include me."

"Needless to say, John, I know that the news channel on TV has been playing in a loop." Aurora, who had just gone upstairs, saw that Watson was about to sue her, and immediately stopped her, expressing that she was sorry for the situation. What they had just experienced was crystal clear.

Sherlock looked at Aurora with some concern, he wasn't sure if she would accuse him of disregarding human life like Watson did.

Aurora didn't look at him, just smiled indifferently, and said to Watson: "John, for normal humans, death is always unstoppable. Even we wizards cannot reverse death." Yes, at best, we can only implement strong and effective rescue in the near-death stage. Death is something that happens without an appointment, and no one can avoid it. Many people die every day in this world, perhaps by murder or by accident. If you have to be as angry as you are now when everyone dies, then your mental state may not be strong enough to support you until now."

Watson originally thought that Aurora would unite with him on this matter. After all, in his impression, women are creatures full of sympathy, even Aurora is no exception.

"I have never had much sympathy, as long as I care about the safety of the people I care about. As for the lives of other people, it would be better if they could be saved. If not, I can't care so much." Aurora shook He leisurely walked to Sherlock's side, sat sideways on the armrest of the sofa next to him, and blinked at him, showing that he was definitely on his side.

"Even what you say is similar, you really are... a perfect match." Watson thought about Aurora's words carefully, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with Aurora's words, but they did not quite match his outlook on life and values. , He remembered what Sherlock had said to him before Aurora came, and couldn't help sighing.

"Thank you, I've always thought so." Sherlock nodded to Watson in agreement, then hugged Aurora next to him, and asked, "How about the case that the fat man asked you to investigate? Any new developments?"

"I went to talk to Andrew West's fiancée. It seems that the matter is not that simple, but I have identified the suspect." Aurora raised her chin confidently, and said, "Let this matter be handed over to you." I still have nothing to worry about", and then said, "To be honest, this case itself is not difficult, but it is related to state secrets, so Mycroft is so anxious. I have investigated these days, and I have probably figured it out." Now that you have cleared your mind, the rest is not difficult."

"So?" Sherlock heard what Aurora meant, but remembering her countless rejections before, she still pretended not to understand.

"So next, I can work with you two to solve the riddle given by the customer." Aurora also put her left hand on Sherlock's left shoulder, seeing his current indifferent attitude It was obvious that he still cared about what happened before, so he smiled flatteringly at him.

"Don't you still want to investigate important national cases?" Sherlock was still relentless, borrowing the excuse she used when he repeatedly invited Aurora to investigate cases with him, and asked in a neutral manner.

"Even if it's a nationally important case, it's not as important as you." Aurora secretly poked and complained about Sherlock's childishness, and then hurriedly said something nice to this Sherlock who would blow up at the slightest disagreement, and smiled happily. With an innocent face, it seemed as if he had forgotten how he repeatedly rejected his invitation with the same reason a few days ago.

"You should have realized this a long time ago." Sherlock was very satisfied with Aurora's answer, and the moment he heard the phone's notification sound, he immediately opened the phone interface and saw a photo of the Thames River. Located on the South Bank, between Waterloo and Southwark Bridge.

Aurora, who was next to him, glanced at the mobile phone interface, and also judged the location of the lot at the first time, and very tacitly dug out the newspapers of the last three days to search, while Sherlock used the mobile phone Search the Internet to see if there have been any accidents in this area recently.

However, even though the two cooperated so tacitly, Sherlock and Aurora still found nothing, and finally got new clues from Lestrade.It has to be said that there is some reason for Lestrade to become the inspector of Scotland Yard. At least in Aurora's mind, his image is much more glorious and majestic than the other Inspector Demo.

The author has something to say:

1. Aurora has not acted alone for a long time. Since she learned magic and returned, she has followed Sherlock most of the time and accompanied him to solve the case.Finally found another opportunity for Aurora to show off her IQ.

2. I think these two are getting sweeter and sweeter recently, and so is Aurora, who dares to say anything about love, not as hard to let go as in the beginning, and it will definitely be sweeter every day in the future!

3. And seriously answer the question of Sherlock's suspended animation. (I found out that the people in this article are all keen on feigning death, from Orange Juice to Miss Lola, and then to Xiali in the future) I initially set it up as wanting to torture Peanut, and then Miss Lola was an insider. Yes, both Mycroft and Sherlock knew that Sherlock was suspended animation, and they were likely to be involved in it as a help.So ha, it probably won't be abused. I recently wrote about the cookie and wrote Feiqi, how could it be abused?
