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

After making the bet, Sherlock decided to act alone, leaving behind the dazed Lestrade, waving his sleeves, not taking away a cloud.

Tall poplar trees grow alternately, covering the sky and shaking their leaves.The pale moonlight was like a handful of fine silver sand, passing through the layers of green leaves, and sprinkled on the lawn where Aurora and Lestrade walked.

Aurora looked at Lestrade who was left behind by Sherlock, and teased: "It seems that you can only hang out with me."

Lestrade was really speechless, and questioned the gloating Aurora: "Stop laughing, take care of yourself first. Are you so sure that you can solve the case first?"

Aurora seemed dissatisfied with Lestrade's suspicion, but she still raised her head triumphantly and said, "Of course! I bet ten Galleons, William Sherlock Scott Holmes Impossible to read fairy tales!"

Lestrade didn't quite understand what she said, and asked with a puzzled face, "What does this have to do with fairy tales?"

Aurora turned sideways slightly, facing Lestrade, and looked him over carefully from head to toe, as if evaluating whether he was credible.

"Will you tell Holmes?"

Lestrade was speechless: "Do you think I have a chance to tell him?"

"That's true, he's already gone, you can't find him at all," Aurora nodded, approved of Lestrade, and explained, "Don't you understand? This case and the fairy tale The stories are closely related. The first, with the small glass slipper, is Cinderella. The second, with the witch and the cottage made of sugar water, is Candy House. And the third is most obvious, Crystal The coffin, the princess dress, the green and red poisonous apple, and seven people who discovered the corpse at the same time, this is..."

"It's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs!" Lestrade snapped back.

Aurora looked at him approvingly, inexplicably feeling a sense of accomplishment that "my family has just grown up", and praised him without hesitation: "Congratulations, Inspector, you will answer quickly."

Lestrade, who was praised, didn't feel praised at all, and always felt that she was being laughed at in a different way, and said sullenly: "But I don't remember any plot related to the iron dancing shoes in this story. "

"In the original fairy tale written by the Brothers Grimm, Snow White's stepmother and queen were finally forced to put on red-hot iron dancing shoes and dance non-stop until she died." Aurora leaned against the poplar tree and folded her arms, Come slowly.

"Original version? What do you mean?" For a long time, Lestrade was no longer fond of thinking because of Sherlock and Aurora. When he encountered a problem, his first reaction was to ask, instead of finding the answer by himself.

"Why don't you think for yourself?" Aurora rolled her eyes in a trademark way.

"Is it because the content in the original version was too dark for children to appear in fairy tales, so it was deleted?" Lestrade finally moved his possibly rusted brain.

"Yes, the current "Grimm's Fairy Tales" is already an adapted version." Aurora agreed.

As the inspector of Scotland Yard, Lestrade naturally wanted to put the overall situation first, and he looked down on the "small fights" between Sherlock and Aurora, so he couldn't help persuading him: "Actually, I think it's better to This important information should be given to Sherlock."

Hearing this, Aurora gave him a hard look, and said dissatisfiedly, "If you hadn't promised me not to tell Holmes this important clue just now, I wouldn't have leaked it to you. Why, turn around and ask for help." Betrayed me?"

"What's the rivalry between you two? It's better to work together to solve the case as soon as possible." Lestrade deeply felt that these two people were too naive, and persuaded them earnestly.

"Do you dare?" Aurora raised her eyebrows and threatened domineeringly.

"But, who knows if this murderer will continue to kill people? If another life is sacrificed because of the emotional conflict between the two of you, then..." Lestrade had a feeling that iron could not be made into steel, Xu Xu He kept on persuading.

"No more." Aurora's tone was firm and unquestionable, "It can be seen from the layout of the scene that the murderer is a very paranoid perfectionist. The previous three cases were clearly planned by him, and he also The plan will not be stopped because of any obstacles. According to the date calculation, the murderer committed the murder five days ago, three days ago, and one day ago. If he still has the next action, then the time should be today. The current time is... ..."

Aurora raised her left hand, glanced at her watch, and said, "Eight eleven, it's already evening, and we haven't received any news, so... this case is over."

"If the murderer committed the crime today, it is very likely that the body has not been found yet." Lestrade felt that Aurora's logic and argument could not be explained at all, and retorted.

"The murderer's desire to control is very strong. This time, even a few people found the corpse and took control." Aurora couldn't help but shudder when she thought of the murderer's behavior, and said, "If there is another murder case today, Someone has already been secretly manipulated by the murderer to find the corpse."

Lestrade opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, as if he still wanted to say something to promote Sherlock and Aurora's cooperation and solve the case as soon as possible, but he didn't say anything more.

Seeing his acquiescence, Aurora continued: "And based on the clues just mentioned, we can conclude that the murderer did not seek revenge on society. So I think we can determine the range of suspects."

"So fast?" Lestrade had seen Aurora's swift and resolute handling of the case, but he was still surprised by how quickly she locked the range of suspects.

Aurora looked at Lestrade's face full of curiosity, and clearly wrote "Tell me, tell me", deliberately pondered for a long time, whetted his appetite, and then said: "Yes, Inspector, let's go back to the police station."

She has many little secrets, so I won't tell you!

Seeing that Aurora, who had been dawdling for a long time, didn't tell him anything, Lestrade felt a little headache, turned around and walked to the police car next to Officer Donovan, and sat in the co-pilot's seat.

Aurora followed Lestrade's pace step by step, with a smirk on her face.

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

Officer Donovan was driving quietly in the driver's seat, and suddenly asked, "Inspector, what's the situation?"

Lestrade was still angry, and said angrily, "Ask her."

"Aurora?" Officer Donovan asked tentatively.

Aurora tasted the joy of a successful prank, so she stopped being a joke, and continued to analyze: "In fact, in the three classic fairy tales of "Cinderella", "Candy House" and "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", , all have an image of a mother who is vicious and vicious, who does not abuse stepchildren and stepdaughters, and sometimes even wants to kill them, without exception."

Although Sally Donovan didn't know the relationship between these three cases and these three fairy tales, she still drew this clue closer to the case, guessing and then said: "And these three victims, Beth Katz, Sofia Stanovich and Doris Wilson, also from reorganized families, are stepmothers to the children."

"Bingo!" Aurora snapped her fingers.

Lestrade saw that Officer Donovan guessed the direction to solve the case correctly, and he was not to be outdone. A flash of light flashed in his mind, and he said excitedly: "So if the prediction is correct, the murderer is the stepson and stepdaughter of the three victims." one!"

"Not bad, Inspector, you are getting better and better." Aurora praised sincerely.

But when these words reached Lestrade's ears, he was not so happy. He felt that he was ridiculed by Aurora again in a disguised form.

Probably this is the best interpretation of "Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of well ropes".

Officer Donovan, who was driving, said winkingly: "I have already investigated the family backgrounds of the three victims, and they are in the folder inside the storage box."

As she spoke, she raised her chin at the small box in front of Lestrade's passenger seat.

Seeing Officer Donovan's signal, Lestrade opened the storage box in front of him, took out a dark blue folder from inside, turned to the page of the victim's family background, read the investigation report with his head down, and concluded: : "Beth Katz has two daughters and a stepdaughter, Sofia Stanovich has a stepson and a stepdaughter, and Doris Wilson has only one stepdaughter."

Officer Donovan noticed the coincidence and exclaimed in amazement: "The members of their family also fit the settings in the three fairy tales."

Lestrade nodded, expressing that he fully agreed with her opinion, and said to Aurora: "It seems that we still need to visit and investigate separately."

unnecessary. "Aurora blinked mysteriously and mysteriously, and said.

Lestrade knew she wanted him to ask "why", just like Sherlock often played tricks when he kept secrets, but he had nothing to do with the two of them at all, so he had to ask them over and over again, as they expected. wrote: "Why?"

"Let's go directly to Stanovich's house." Aurora still said concisely.

As always, Lestrade didn't understand why, cast a puzzled look, and asked again with humiliation: "Why?"

"Because the second case is the most special." Aurora still spared words and didn't want to say more.

Lestrade couldn't bear it anymore, so he stopped talking altogether and turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window, although it was already dark and he couldn't see any scenery.

Officer Donovan saw that the atmosphere was not quite right, and there was a tendency for swords to be tense, so he began to guess wildly to ease the atmosphere: "The first case has crystal shoes, and the third has iron dancing shoes. Could it be because there are no shoes in the second case? "

The author has something to say:

I was deeply impressed by the story of "Candy House". I acted in a drama when I was in elementary school, and I was the evil stepmother~~ This case may have less material clues, and the main reason is psychology.However, although I plan to study psychology in college, I don't know much about it at present.If there are any mistakes, please forgive me, and it would be even better to point them out.
