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

Chapter 2 The Strange Case of a Senior Government Official

What Aurora waited for was not Jasmine's DNA comparison results, but the simultaneous appearance of four suspects.They apparently saw the news on a news website and decided to come to the police and admit that they had been in contact with the victim last night.

After comparison, their genetic information is exactly the same as that in the hair.It is worth mentioning that if these four people do not admit it themselves, they can only find out one of them-Edith Harrison (Edith Harrison) based on the genes in the DNA database.

Sure enough, they were all cheated out. It seems that her strategy was still very successful.

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

The following is the information on the suspects compiled by Aurora.

Edith Harrison, the waiter in the Dust Bar, the sister of Lieutenant Harrison who died in the Falklands War because of Edwin Rodriguez, has a murderous motive, and was once collected genetic material for theft Entry into the National DNA Database.The general manager of the bar, Demi Ocampo, witnessed her being entangled by Edward last night and called her to do something to help her out. Afterwards, she witnessed her tidying up the bar and clearing the cups before leaving get off work, which can be used as an alibi .

Lillian Johnson (Lillian Johnson), the resident singer of the Dust Bar, the daughter of Captain Johnson who died in the Falklands War because of Edwin Rodriguez, has a murderous motive.I had a good talk with Edward last night, and then I went to the stage to sing in full view. After one song, the response was enthusiastic. I was asked by the audience to sing together until 11:30, and I had an alibi from all the audience in the bar.

Winnie Lawrence (Winnie·Lawrence), whose online gender was filled in as male, asked a netizen to meet at the bar of Dust Bar, mistook Edward Rodriguez sitting at the bar for a netizen, went up to chat with him, and found that his It is not that the netizen left later, it is not clear whether there is a motive for the murder, and there is no clear alibi.

Joanna Clark (Joanna·Clark), whose online gender was filled in as male, was asked by netizens to meet at the bar of Dust Bar. She mistook Edward Rodriguez, who was sitting at the bar, for a netizen, went up to chat with him, and found that He left after not being a netizen, and it is unclear whether he had a motive for the murder, and there is no clear alibi.

"So you don't remember the time when you talked with the victim, and you can't determine the sequence." Aurora showed embarrassment.

The four nodded together.

"That's troublesome..." she said to herself in a barely audible voice.

The problem is more difficult than she imagined: Edith Harrison and Lillian Johnson with a murderous motive have perfect alibi at the same time, while Winnie Lawrence and Joanna Clarke have no clear alibi There does not appear to be a motive for the murder.

But there is no doubt that the real murderer is among them.

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

In Scotland Yard Police Station, Aurora was sitting at her desk, scribbling on a piece of white paper.

"What are you doing?" Lestrade moved to Aurora curiously.

"Analyzing the characteristics of the murderer, and then finding her among the four suspects based on the characteristics, this is our last hope." Aurora said solemnly, "The murderer's method of killing is extremely cruel, most of which are vendettas. According to my guess, maybe It is related to what the victim's elder brother Edwin Rodriguez did in the Falklands War. None of the five throwing knives hit a vital point, and none of them entered the victim's body. It can be inferred that the murderer did not Not professionally trained, and not very strong. Not very strong, but able to drag the unconscious victim to the decoration area. Perhaps there is more than one murderer..."

"Then which...of the suspects is the murderer?" Lestrade was obviously still immersed in Aurora's astonishing words just now, unable to extricate himself.

"I'm sorry, I don't know." Aurora lowered her head apologetically. "As I said, this is our last hope. If the characteristic analysis cannot determine the murderer, then... I have nothing to do."

She knew how important the case was, and that she had been considered their hope of solving it ever since she entered Scotland Yard.But now that the last hope is gone, where will they go?

I remember this morning, she still swore to promise "Don't worry, leave it to me", and Lestrade even said to her "Isn't it because of you".But she failed everyone's trust.

Lestrade had never seen Aurora like this.Ever since she "airborne" Scotland Yard, she has always been contemptuous of other people's IQ, and mocked them openly and mercilessly.

More importantly, Aurora never bows her head.

Of course he wouldn't blame her, she has always been responsible for their IQ, and she does have something to be proud of.But now she let go of her so-called pride guiltily, bowed her head to him and apologized to him.

"No, Aurora, you are wrong. Sherlock Holmes is our last hope."

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

"Sherlock, Inspector Lestrade is here!" Mrs. Hudson's voice was slightly surprised.

After hearing this, Sherlock jumped up excitedly from the sofa, and then sat down again, pretending to be calm and took a sip of coffee, but still couldn't hide his eagerness to try.

"Sherlock, we're in big trouble." Lestrade said straight to the point with a gloomy complexion.

Sherlock put on a posture of listening quietly.

It has to be said that although Lestrade has no talent in solving crimes, he is a good storyteller.After a few words, Sherlock already had all the information about the case.

"You can't think of a good way to lure out suspects by putting information on a news site, obviously thanks to your new recruits. Of course, this would also explain the fact that Scotland Yard snubbed me for two full months ..." Sherlock began to reason incessantly.

"Sherlock, I came to you for a case." Lestrade couldn't bear to interrupt him.

"Allright. Even the experts hired by Scotland Yard can't solve the case. Of course I want to see it." Sherlock finally couldn't pretend anymore, stood up impatiently, and was about to leave.

Lestrade: "..."

He knew this guy must be pretending to be cold...

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

"Sherlock Holmes." This is a short self-introduction from Sherlock.

"Aurora Hopps, I have known you for a long time. I have read your article, and the method you proposed to distinguish 243 types of soot has benefited me a lot." Aurora maintained a proper smile.

"Actually, it's a bit of a shame for you to stay in Scotland Yard." Hearing that, Sherlock's little tail would be raised up, if he had a tail.But when he thought of the person in front of him who had broken his "peach blossom" for two whole months, the expression on his face was almost indifferent.

Lestrade felt that Sherlock could no longer continue to slander Scotland Yard's glorious image in front of Aurora, so he quickly changed the subject: "Aurora, tell Sherlock all your discoveries."

"Do not."

"Do not."

The two unanimously and mercilessly rejected the proposal.

"You two, now is not the time to be self-willed..." Lestrade looked like he hated iron and steel.

"No." After expressing his point succinctly again, Sherlock lowered his head and began to study the corpse.

It seems that the burden of explaining to Lestrade can only fall on Aurora: "I don't want my wrong ideas to affect Mr. Holmes' judgment."

"Actually, it may not be wrong." Sherlock said, picking up a small bottle of aluminum hydroxide tablets and bismuth potassium citrate capsules carried by the victim, and carefully looked at them before his eyes.

"You mean, the victim suffered from stomach problems?" Aurora, who was watching Sherlock's movements all the time, immediately understood what he meant.

"That's right." Sherlock marveled at Aurora's quick thinking, but his voice was still calm.

"What are you talking about? Stomach trouble?" Lestrade obviously didn't keep up with their thinking.

Seeing Sherlock's expression of "I don't care if you understand or not", Aurora kindly explained: "Aluminum hydroxide and bismuth potassium citrate are often used as medicines to treat diseases such as gastric ulcer or gastritis. "

Lestrade was very relieved, as expected Aurora and Sherlock were different.

"Honestly, Inspector, I'm really curious how you got your diploma." Aurora rolled her eyes silently.

"Aurora..." Lestrade decided to take back his little comfort just now.

"You can ask Anderson to do a gastroscopy on the victim to make sure." Aurora accepted it as soon as she saw it, and changed the subject in a timely manner.

"But Edwin Rodriguez said his brother's body must never be destroyed..." Lestrade hesitated.

"I have seventeen ways to restore the body. And, maybe at that time, you don't need to follow his orders anymore." Sherlock opened the victim's wallet and took out the few Edwin Rodriguez The business card was stuffed into the pocket of his black coat.

"I've heard about your method of posting news to news websites to lure out suspects, but have you noticed how many people were originally compared based on the national DNA database?" Sherlock didn't tell Scotland Yard's police for the first time Tan produces an emotion called "impatient".

Aurora was taken aback when she heard the words, and after thinking for a moment, she keenly discovered the key point, and said, "There is only Edith Harrison, but there are four people here. The other three people will not know that their genes are not They were entered into the DNA database, and they knew that those few hairs could not pose a threat to them at all, but they still came. Ordinary people hear about murders and avoid them, so how can they ask for trouble.”

"Edith Harrison not only had a clear motive for the murder, her hair was left at the crime scene, so the suspicion is serious." Sherlock's tone was as calm as water, and he guided Aurora to discover the truth step by step.

"So the other three people came to the police station to admit that they had contact with the victim last night. There can only be one purpose, which is to cover Edith Harrison, confuse the public, and disrupt the police's handling of the case. They have a murderous motive and a perfect alibi , and those without a clear alibi do not seem to have a motive for killing. The design is indeed ingenious, but it still leaves a loophole." Aurora continued his words.

"The murderer's IQ is at least acceptable." Sherlock's ability to say such a thing is already considered a compliment.

"Five murderers, five throwing knives. So that's how it is." Aurora was blessed for a moment, and suddenly realized.

"What? Those four suspects are all murderers? Also, where is the fifth person?" Lestrade still didn't keep up with their thinking.

"You can deduce that the murderer is not strong, but you can't see that the depth of the five throwing knives sinking into the corpse is completely different?" Sherlock ignored Lestrade, but sharply questioned Aurora.

"If the same person throws it at the same place, the depth of the throwing knife sinking into the corpse should be almost the same. I was negligent." Aurora lowered her head, as if a little embarrassed.

Lestrade, who saw Aurora bowing his head and admitting his mistake twice in a day, began to wonder if the world was in disorder, and instead forgot to ask about the "fifth murderer".

"Since all four suspects were involved in the murder, Edith Harrison's alibi must have been forged, and Miss Demi Ocampo, general manager of Dust Bar, who testified for Miss Harrison It must be an accomplice. So there are five murderers." Aurora couldn't bear to watch Lestrade continue to struggle, and added.

"But this is just reasoning, we have no evidence at all..." Lestrade raised his eyebrows in surprise, obviously not yet able to react, with a look of incredulity on his face.

"Looks like it's time to talk to Miss Ocampo, I believe we will get the evidence soon." Aurora blinked playfully.

The author has something to say:

The identity of the suspect has just been exposed, and before you have time to guess who the real culprit is, Sherlock reasoned it out by himself.So desperate, I should have slowed down.When it comes to filling in the gender of online materials as male, in fact, I do the same.A few days ago, a person found me on QQ and asked me to borrow money. One little brother at a time, I said decisively that all my money belonged to my girlfriend, and there was no way to lend it to her.I'm really a qualified boyfriend, if I'm really a boy.There is also Sherlock's inexplicable cuteness. He is very excited when he has a case, but he insists on pretending to be cold.

Then Sherlock and Aurora said various things that Lestrade couldn't understand, and felt sorry for the inspector for three seconds.You know what he knows, but I don’t. This feeling must be very painful and desperate~~ It’s not easy to make a light bulb these days, and it’s even more difficult to make a light bulb with insufficient IQ balance.
