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

A disappearance case involving [-] lives is going on quietly in London, and perhaps more girls will be involved, but Scotland Yard, which is in charge of public security in London, is unaware of it.

"Eighteen girls disappeared in just a few days, and you are still in the mood to listen to the music here. Gavin, I have serious doubts about whether you are qualified to continue to sit on the Scotland Yard inspector's seat." .” A black figure floated across the lobby of Scotland Yard Police Station, and walked straight to Lestrade’s office.

There has been a lot of trouble in London recently, but Lestrade thinks that he can't help much, as long as he doesn't add to the chaos, life is quite comfortable.He was sitting leisurely behind his desk at this time, with his legs crossed and turned up on the table. The most popular music recently was playing in the computer, and there was a box of exquisitely packaged mung bean cakes next to the mouse on his right hand. Lestrade also pinched a piece in his hand.

Lestrade stuffed the mung bean cake he had bitten into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it. Seeing Sherlock's sudden visit, his face changed, and his tone sounded a little helpless, as if he was taken aback. With some sarcasm, he said: "My name is Greg, Greg Lestrade, not some Gavin. You'll call me by the wrong name when Aurora isn't here. Oh, I forgot, Aurora has been sent to prison by your brother himself, so of course she cannot be here."

"It's none of your business." Hearing Aurora's name, Sherlock frowned appropriately, making it impossible to tell whether it was disgust or distress, and then asked, "Are you complaining about her?"

As a "normal person" in Sherlock's mouth, Lestrade naturally couldn't tell whether the emotion he wanted to express was disgust or distress, but there was a big difference between the two.If it's disgust, then Sherlock should have believed the rumors circulating on the Internet, and really doubted Aurora's intention to stay with him.However, if it is distress, it is probably because there is no way to crack these rumors that are flying all over the sky, and there is no way to save Aurora from being imprisoned.Lestrade certainly hoped it was the latter, but he wasn't entirely sure it wasn't the former.

"Do you think she will really betray you?" Lestrade stopped thinking about whether Sherlock wanted to express the former or the latter, and asked directly, "Sherlock, you know that Olo La is not that kind of person. If she had been bought by Moriarty long ago, how could she travel the world with you in the past two years, break down Moriarty's dens one by one, and completely disintegrate his criminal network?"

"You don't know her any better than I do, Greg." Sherlock's voice was as calm as water, sounding unmoved, as if he was talking about someone who didn't matter, who didn't matter.

Lestrade naturally understood it as "Are you sure you know the real her? You don't know her better than me. I know what kind of person she is. I don't need you to explain it to me." Thinking of this sentence, there is another explanation, that is, "You don't know her better than me, I know the real her and believe her", and this is Sherlock's original intention.

"Let's not talk about it, such a large-scale disappearance case happened right under your nose, and you don't know anything about it, and you are still struggling with it." Seeing that Lestrade would not cooperate with him in handling the case, Sherlock was about to take the case. He got up from the swivel ottoman.

"What do you mean by 'stop talking about this'? What do you mean by 'still struggling with this'?" Lestrade was also angry, his voice was slightly trembling, and if you don't distinguish it carefully, you can't hear it, "You When I first got together with Aurora, I thought you would change for her. But now it seems that the adjectives John used to describe you can still be given back to you unchanged: cold, ruthless , cold-blooded..."

"This is more like John's line than your own." Sherlock's fingers tapped lightly on the desk, making a "da da" sound, and he frowned again and said.

"Sherlock, do you still remember that when Moriarty framed you two years ago, everyone including me began to suspect you, and the only ones standing with you were Aurora and John. Although all The evidence points against you, and the two of them believed in you without any hesitation, without any reason." Lestrade still did not give up persuading Sherlock, blindly accusing Sherlock had no effect, and he called again Playing the card of memory killing, he said while the iron was hot, "But now? Aurora was also framed by Moriarty, but you stood on the opposite side of her. I really feel worthless for her!"

"If you don't start investigating this disappearance, I can assure you that you won't be able to sit in the position of Scotland Yard inspector for long." Sherlock had no intention of discussing the topic just now with Lestrade in depth. Talking about the case persistently, he pursed his lips slightly and said, "Eighteen people were involved in this case, and there may be more in the future. If you can't find a result, dismissal and investigation are inevitable."

"If I really investigate this disappearance case as you said, I will be dismissed and investigated!" Lestrade saw that Sherlock didn't even bother to mention it, and the flame in his heart became more and more intense, and his mood changed. Very excited, such a meaningful sentence blurted out.After he finished speaking, he immediately realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and covered his mouth with his hands, but it was too late, Sherlock had already heard what he said clearly.

"What do you mean?" Sherlock asked Lestrade step by step, frowning, pretending not to understand.

"It's nothing. But if I were you, I wouldn't interfere in this matter." After Lestrade finished speaking, he felt that the strength of this sentence was not enough to prevent Sherlock from seeking the truth, so he added another sentence, " Sherlock, remember, don't meddle in your own business, or you will regret it."

Sherlock tapped the table with his knuckles, bowed his head in silence for a long time, and finally said, "She will be fine."

After all, he turned and left the police station.

Lestrade sat on the spot and watched Sherlock leave, recalling the words he just left for a long time before realizing that this was in response to his accusations against Sherlock and his concern for Aurora.

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

Naturally, Sherlock would not be hindered by Lestrade's simple words. With his unintentional words, he would be able to investigate in a logical manner.

Now, Moriarty's return has made everyone anxious, and the city of London has already been turbulent, unpredictable in an instant.

Standing against the wind at the door of Scotland Yard Police Station, Sherlock looked up at the cloudless sky above him, but what came to his mind was the scene when he was in MI[-] that day.

At that time, Mycroft looked at his younger brother and future sister-in-law Lao Shenzai, and asked them if they had thought of a way to deal with Moriarty.But Aurora said slowly, since he already knew Moriarty's ultimate goal, it would not be difficult to find a solution based on this.

Yes, Moriarty wanted to subvert the British government, and they knew it early on.

Aurora said, "It's better to invite the king to enter the urn than the soldiers." She also said, "Moriarty will always have a way to get you to accept the commission, or use other methods."

Now that they have known Moriarty's ultimate goal and guessed his general plan, they might as well invite the king to enter the urn and follow the plan, which is worse than passive soldiers to block and see the trick.

With his left hand in his coat pocket, Sherlock lightly stroked the double-sided mirror inside with five fingers, but the memory palace found the home addresses of the eighteen missing girls.

This good show has only just begun.
