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

Chapter 152: Dark Clouds Overcome the City

Aurora looked at the uninterrupted flashing lights outside the car door, and heard the "click" sound when taking pictures, and already made up the headline of this heavy news in her mind, which was roughly "MI[-] responded. Lola Hopps was arrested" and that sort of thing.

Thinking of this, she was a little curious why she was still teasing and complaining silently in her heart at such a critical juncture.Moriarty had already ruined her reputation, but Aurora didn't realize that her reputation was ruined at all, and she didn't even think about what would happen to her if she really let Moriarty get away with it.She felt strangely at ease whenever Sherlock was around, even though it was a Sherlock against her face.

Sherlock, who was sitting next to her, kept quiet from the beginning to the end in order not to show his flaws. Fortunately, the two sitting in the front seat had no intention of communicating with him at all.After drinking the compound potion, he didn't have time to change into Aurora's clothes, but the two of them always liked to wear the same style of clothes, and Watson jokingly called them couple clothes, so they wouldn't arouse suspicion.

They drove all the way to the headquarters of MI[-]. The two people in front probably thought that they had worked with Aurora before, so they politely asked Sherlock to get out of the car and brought him to McCrov into Tet's office, then retreated consciously and closed the door behind him.

The effectiveness of the compound decoction has gradually faded, Sherlock has gradually returned to his original appearance, and Aurora has also lifted the illusion spell on himself.

Mycroft supported the weight of his head on his elbows, motioned for the two to sit down, raised his eyebrows, and said in a mocking tone: "It seems that the two of you have already thought of a solution, otherwise why would you still be in the mood to say something?" Just kidding."

Aurora and Sherlock looked at each other, and said slowly: "To find a way to deal with a person, one must know his ultimate purpose. Now that we know Moriarty's ultimate purpose, we can use this to find a way to deal with him." His method should not be difficult."

Yes, they had guessed Moriarty's ultimate goal early on.

James Moriarty, or his pseudonym JM, first appeared in the strange case of a high-ranking government official when Aurora and Sherlock first met.The murderer Edward Rodriguez relied on Moriarty's influence to know the inside story of the Falklands War. He found out the action plan of Demi Ocampo and five people including Demi Ocampo from the Internet, and organized a bluffing campaign. Assassinate.

The second time JM appeared was in the fairytale murder case where Aurora and Sherlock made a bet for the first time. It was also Moriarty who prepared the crystal coffin for the two murderers Philip and Sevel Stanovich Waiting for things, planned their crimes for Philip, and finally pushed all the crimes to Severn alone.And Philip's father, Sevel's adoptive father, happened to seek a considerable official position in the British government, and the common mother of the two was the daughter of the Bloom Consortium.

The third time JM appeared was in the serial arson case. This time he not only detected the actions of the arsonist Caroline in advance, but also left lyrics for Aurora and Sherlock at the scene of the crime as clues to test whether they Can rely on these lyrics to find out the final truth.Among them, Gilbert's house was the fifth house that Caroline set fire to. Aurora only found out not long ago that Allen's eldest brother, Nelson Gilbert, was actually a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Then there was the time when Aurora almost died.Mycroft's subordinates found out the whereabouts of JM, and he became more and more daring. Not only did he publicly give clues and leave a message in the last serial arson case, he even swaggered to attend the ball held by the House of Lords member Anthony Hamilton. .Aurora and Sherlock went to investigate JM's identity, but they accidentally fell into the other party's trap. Later investigations showed that the member of the House of Lords, a hereditary nobleman, knew about it in advance.

And the memory stick national case that Aurora was in charge of, the final link in Moriarty's deadly game.The new missile defense system developed by the Ministry of Defense, that is, the Bruce-Partington project, was stored in a memory stick. However, the national civil servant who held the memory stick died in the subway station, and the memory stick disappeared. .

Finally there is Moriarty's connection to Irene Adler.Before that, Aurora had always suspected how Irene Adler knew what happened in the abandoned warehouse. Later, Moriarty came out to stir up trouble again, and she was able to confirm that it was Moriarty who told Irene Adler himself. Adler's.And Irene Adler was once a woman who held countless government secrets and royal scandals.

Looking back at all the cases in which Moriarty was directly or indirectly involved, one can easily find the same thing, that is, all of them are related to government officials or secrets.All these incidents point to a shocking truth, a truth that people have to admit: James Moriarty's spearhead has been directed at the British government from the very beginning.

And his ultimate goal may be to subvert the British government and stand at the top of the real food chain.

When the country will be turned upside down and the government will be overthrown, what can they do to turn things around and break the current deadlock?

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

A few hours later, Aurora, who was still full of confidence and optimistic attitude despite the insults from the whole network, was imprisoned, and was imprisoned by Mycroft himself in the prison of MI[-].And Sherlock seems to have forgotten the existence of Aurora herself and her exhortation to "try not to accept the commission", and then took over a large-scale disappearance case.All of a sudden, there was another burst of anger and divergent opinions.

"Aurora Hopps finally got the punishment she deserved. It's a joy!"

"I don't think she looks like the kind of person said on the Internet. There is no misunderstanding here, is there?"

"She has already been imprisoned, what misunderstanding can there be? By the way, have you all heard about it? It is said that the chief of MI[-] personally gave the order..."

"The chief of MI[-]? Isn't that the brother of Reichenbach hero Sherlock Holmes? Since he has spoken in person, it seems that the rumors on the Internet are true."

"Isn't that right? I think this Hopps has deserved what she deserves! Who told her to betray our Xiali for some things!"

"That's not something. If Aurora Hopps hadn't turned to Moriarty at the time, she would have died in his hands. If it were me, I might do the same thing as her Sherlock Holmes fans, put yourself in their shoes and stop blaming others."

"Then why didn't she pretend to agree and tell Xiali about it immediately after returning? As a result, she kept silent for the past two years. She must have taken some advantage from Moriarty!"

"I really don't understand what you fans are thinking. Even Sherlock Holmes's life has returned to the right track, and he has started to accept commissions to handle cases as usual. Why are you still chattering here?"

Speaking of Sherlock's new case, it's also strange.Not long after Aurora was imprisoned, an old lady with gray hair and clear eyes came to the door and cried to Sherlock that her daughter went out to play with the girl from the neighbor's house three days ago. He never came back, and neither of them could be contacted.

She was so anxious that she wanted to call the police, but the neighbor's wife who also lost her daughter blocked her in every possible way.Although the wife was also too anxious to eat and sleep, she insisted not to let her go to the police, and she did not give any explanation to her questions.

Although the old lady didn't know why the neighbors stopped her from calling the police, their child was also missing. She would never harm her own daughter. Since the neighbor's wife said so, there must be some reason. So she didn't dare to report the crime rashly.But three days had passed, and her daughter still hadn't come back. A terrible thought arose in the old lady's heart: Maybe the neighbor's family offended someone. The enemy's family kidnapped their daughter and threatened them not to call the police. His own daughter was also kidnapped.

Thinking of this, the old lady didn't dare to wait any longer, she was afraid that if she went to the police, the two girls would be torn apart by each other.She tossed and turned in bed last night, thinking of Sherlock Holmes, the "genius detective" who recently occupied the top three news hot search lists, so she came to 221B Baker Street early this morning, begging Sherlock to accept her commission, Help her save her daughter.

At the beginning, Sherlock really thought that the old lady's idea was correct. The reaction of their neighbor's wife was indeed the most likely threat from the kidnapper.However, when he followed the clues to investigate step by step, he found that the other party was not only targeting the girl from the neighbor's house.

Because... since Moriarty came back with great fanfare to make trouble until now, eighteen girls have gone missing all over London.However, Scotland Yard, which usually rushes ahead whenever there is trouble, has not released any news about this mass disappearance.

This seemingly simple disappearance case is actually full of weirdness.From the words and deeds of the family members of the missing persons to the time when the old lady came to entrust the door, to the reaction of Scotland Yard, everything is very unreasonable.Although there was no trace of human involvement from the beginning to the end, it made Sherlock feel that there was some deliberation, as if someone wanted to lure him into the game.

Then he had no choice but to stay with him to the end.

Sherlock tapped the table a few times casually with his curled index finger, got up and took off the black coat from the hanger, put it on and turned to go downstairs, with an imperceptible smile hidden in the corner of his mouth.
