Sure enough, a body was found on the bank of the Thames River between Nanhua Bridge and Waterloo. Sherlock concluded that this person was a recently missing staff member of the Seaman Art Museum, named Alex Woodbridge.

The Seaman Art Museum recently exhibited a long-lost oil painting by the Dutch master Vermeer, worth 3000 million pounds, and the promotional posters were overwhelming.And at this moment, the staff of the museum were strangled to death by one of the world's deadliest killers, Gemu, whose real name was Oscar Genda.

All of this points to the ultimate truth that this Vermeer painting is a fake, and for some reason it was discovered by the staff there.The owner was afraid that this matter would be exposed, and the 3000 million pounds would be in vain, so he hired Gemu to kill the unlucky Alex Woodbridge.

In order to find the whereabouts of the killer Gemu, Sherlock also specially asked his homeless squad, and then divided into two groups again.Aurora was in charge of investigating the staff member's information, while Sherlock and Watson went to the art gallery to see what was different about the painting.

Aurora originally thought that since this Alex Woodbridge could tell that Vermeer's paintings were fakes, he must have very profound artistic attainments.But what his roommate said was unexpected, art and so on was just a job for Alex, he knew nothing about it, he was actually an astronomy enthusiast.It is worth noting that there is a message for Alex on the landline, which is from a person named Professor Keynes, only saying that his previous guess is completely correct.

If this Alex Woodbridge knew nothing about art, how could he tell the authenticity of that Vermeer oil painting?For this, Aurora was puzzled.

At the same time, Sherlock and Watson did not go well. They found Gemu's whereabouts twice, but let him escape twice. Even Professor Keynes was killed before they arrived.

In desperation, the two groups had no choice but to meet again at the Seaman Art Museum to question the curator, Miss Wenslace. For this reason, they called Lestrade, the inspector of Scotland Yard, to increase their deterrence.It's a pity that this is of no use. Miss Winslace still insists that this oil painting is the authentic work of Vermeer that has been lost for many years.

At this moment, the long-lost phone rang again, and Sherlock immediately took out the same pink phone as in "Pink Research" from his coat pocket, pressed the answer button, and rushed to the phone at a very fast speed. Bing said loudly: "This painting is a fake. This is the reason why Woodbridge and Keynes were killed. They were killed by Gemu because they discovered this. I have solved the puzzle you gave. This painting is a fake."

There was no sound from the phone, and the art gallery was suddenly eerily quiet.Apparently the asshole didn't accept such an answer and had to ask Sherlock to show evidence that the painting was a fake.

"Okay, I'll prove it to you, will you give me time?" Sherlock sighed, then asked.

"Ten..." It was an immature child's voice. He was counting down the countdown. If Sherlock hadn't figured out a way to prove that the painting was a fake when the count reached zero, the penis tied to the child would be immediately removed. Detonate.

Sherlock handed the mobile phone to Aurora who was standing next to him, anxiously leaning in front of the oil painting for a while to observe carefully, and then wandering around again.When the little boy on the other side of the phone counted to three, he finally figured out how to prove it, searched the Internet on his BlackBerry, retrieved the pink phone from Aurora, and shouted: "Van Buren Supernova!"

The "Zero" finally didn't come out, and the little boy on the phone seemed to realize that he was saved, and asked in a childish voice: "Is there anyone? Come and save me."

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, and Lestrade, the inspector of Scotland Yard, took over the mobile phone naturally, and was responsible for asking the boy's current location and carrying out rescue.

Everyone was waiting for Sherlock to give an explanation, but he didn't seem to want to speak, but turned his gaze to Aurora, as if to signal her to explain for him.

The six words "Van Buren Supernova" echoed in Aurora's mind over and over again, and she woke up in an instant. She felt like she was enlightened now, and her thinking was unimpeded, and she understood Sherlock's words in an instant. mean.

Why is it that Alex Woodbridge, who works here, knows nothing about art, can tell that this oil painting is a fake?Why, as an astronomy enthusiast, would he seek help from an astronomy professor, and even Professor Keynes was killed?

There is only one way to explain it, and that is that Alex sees clues from the painting based on his own astronomical knowledge.

Aurora also leaned in front of the painting, looking at the starry sky in the oil painting, looking for the "Van Buren Supernova".She still remembered that a few days ago, when Sherlock took her to the cinema to watch "Supernova Explosion in Stellar Evolution Stages", she heard such a passage while half asleep and half awake.

"In the Milky Way and many extragalactic galaxies, supernovae have been observed, with a total of hundreds of them. However, in history, only six supernovae can be observed with the naked eye. For example, the Van Buren supernova broke out in 1858 of……"

The Van Buren supernova exploded in 1858, and this painting...

After thinking everything through, Aurora turned her head to look at the bewildered Lestrade and Watson, raised her eyebrows triumphantly, and explained: "The so-called Van Buren supernova only appeared in 1858." Yes, how could it appear in the works of the 40s?"

Aurora originally wanted to stay and interrogate that Miss Winslace, but she happened to receive a text message from Mycroft at this time, who claimed to be her future brother-in-law, but still It was her big boss who urged her to solve the case about the memory stick as soon as possible, so she could only leave the Seaman Art Museum first to conduct further investigations.

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

Although Aurora is now almost sure that Andrew West's death is inseparable from his fiancée's brother Joe, but she has neither strong evidence nor clear details, so this time she decided to go to Bathsea, where the body was buried. Go to the station to have a look.

After seeing Aurora's police ID, the staff there believed her identity completely, and began to chat with her: "I really hate those people who commit suicide by lying on the rails. They are selfish bastards. It's good for a few seconds. It was dead, but the strawberry jam was sprayed everywhere, and in the end it was us who were unlucky, and we were responsible for cleaning up the scene."

Aurora nodded approvingly, expressing her understanding and sympathy for these railway workers, which made it easier for her to ask in the future. She casually mentioned: "By the way, when it comes to strawberry jam, what happened on the railway tracks?" There is no blood? Has it been washed away by you?"

"No." The railway worker shook his head, his expression seemed to be saying something strange, "Although the man's head was crushed, there was no blood on the rails."

Aurora remembered Mycroft saying that there was no ticket stub on Andrew West's body, nor was there a use record on his bus card.It seems that she did not lie on the rails and die, and this is not the scene of the crime.He was killed elsewhere and transported to this place.

But how did the murderer bring a bloody corpse and dump it in this place without being discovered by the people on the train?

Aurora was lowering her head and meditating, when suddenly the rails at the railway fork were pulled, changing the route of the rails.Inspired by this sudden track change, she instantly understood the murderer's method.That Joe Harrison put Andrew West's body on top of the train. When passing through such a fork, the train would be shaken and the body would fall next to the rails.

After understanding these, the rest is to force Joe Harrison to admit it himself.This time Aurora decided to follow Sherlock's style and break into private houses directly.

Relying on her skilled lockpicking and the pearl hairpin Sherlock gave her, Aurora opened the door of Joe Harrison's house very easily.Harrison didn't make her wait too long, and within a few minutes after entering the door, the owner of the house returned home.

After a lot of coercion and lure, of course the main thing was coercion, Joe Harrison obediently explained everything.

Joe Harrison is a drug dealer and owes a lot of money for it.At West and Lucy's engagement ceremony, Andrew told him about the missile programs and dangled the memory stick in front of him.He thought that this memory stick, which stored high international secrets, would definitely sell for a good price, so he took the opportunity to steal it.

When he saw Andrew West again, he was full of resentment, and he knew it at a glance.The two had an argument, and Joe Harrison accidentally pushed his future brother-in-law down the stairs. He wanted to call an ambulance, but it was too late.In his panic, he came up with a good idea, dragged Andrew West to the top of the train, and sent him to a place he didn't know, so that he could leave this matter with himself, but his sister Lucy It must be sad.

After that, Joe Harrison didn't know what to do with that memory stick. He was afraid that his murder of Andrew West would be found out, and he didn't dare to resell it casually, so he kept it close to his body all the time.

Under Aurora's threats and no lures, it can be said that she easily got back the memory stick of the missile program.

The author has something to say:

My roommate just finished the IELTS test and decided to make a fuss and took me to watch "Story of Yanxi Palace" together. I made up to [-] episodes in one day, and then I became a fan of Master Fu Heng~~ Aww, he really contracted it My tears in the whole drama, every time I watched him being abused, I cried so much that I couldn't help myself, but my roommate fell asleep on the bed watching such a plot~~

Also, I slipped into a previously completed HP fanfiction yesterday. I felt that it was written too concisely at the time. I’m sorry for the well-designed and ingenious plot. I plan to find a time to rewrite it, probably after the end of this article?

I have seen it here, comment on it and collect it, dear babies~~
