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

Chapter 39 The Death of Orange Juice

Aurora was still immersed in the joy of successfully tricking Sherlock and couldn't extricate herself from it, when she heard the siren exclusive to Scotland Yard from far and near.

"Looks like there's another case." She continued to swing on the rocking chair, spreading her hands to Sherlock, obviously it had nothing to do with her high-hanging plans.

With a faint smile on Sherlock's thin lips, he began to count Lestrade's movements at the moment: "Donovan is parking the car now, and Owen opened the door."

Aurora has long been familiar with Sherlock's old problem of not being able to remember Lestrade's name, so she didn't ask "Who is Owen?" instead, she directly corrected: "Inspector of Scotland Yard, full name is Greg Lestrade, it's not the Owen you speak of."

Sherlock had an indifferent expression on his face, as if he wanted to say that Lestrade's name was not important at all, and he didn't even bother to say that he was not important, but directly predicted Lestrade's movements: "Heavy footsteps, Bradley going upstairs."

"Now he's talking to Mrs. Hudson, and from her I know you're here." Olo, who was bored, stretched his waist and joined Sherlock in this even more boring game. Don't forget to add, "By the way, he's Greg Lestrade, not Bradley."

"Liam was going downstairs, and the door was not closed when I came up just now, so he can come in directly." Although Sherlock kept changing the address for Lestrade, he still didn't get it right once.

"He pushed open the door of my house, wondering why the door was open." Aurora continued, and she was still working on getting rid of Sherlock's bad habit of calling people by wrong names as always, and persistently corrected, "He's Greg Lestrade, not Liam. He'd cry if he heard you call him that."

Sherlock was probably a little impatient with Aurora repeating Lestrade's name over and over again, with an unhappy expression on his face, and finally changed his address as if in compromise: "Greg is going upstairs."

Mission: Successfully correct Sherlock Holmes' address to Greg Lestrade

Degree of Completion: Achieved

Aurora made up her mind that after Lestrade came up in a while, she must take this opportunity to claim credit for him, and maybe trigger the task reward of a box of mung bean cakes.

Lestrade knocked on the door of the living room in a symbolic manner, and without waiting for anyone to answer, he hurriedly pushed the door in, and couldn't wait to call out: "Sherlock, Aurora..."

Aurora, who was lying on the rocking chair, shook her hair triumphantly, and interrupted Lestrade's words: "Inspector, after my unremitting efforts, Sherlock finally remembered your name."

Hearing this, Lestrade squeezed out a smile, but the smile on his face was very stiff.Contrary to Aurora's expectations, he didn't take this matter too seriously, but continued to discuss matters related to the case: "Sherlock, come here. Aurora, you too."

Sherlock was keenly aware of the clues, and felt that something was wrong.Every time Lestrade came to ask him to help solve a case, he would use a question sentence like "Sherlock, will you come" instead of an imperative sentence like "Sherlock, come here".

Aurora probably missed work for too long, stayed away from all kinds of bloody cases and unprovoked disputes, and did not notice anything like Sherlock, but resolutely rejected Lestrade: "Detective, I will go to work tomorrow. Leave today's case to Sherlock. I want to take advantage of the last day of the holiday to go crazy again."

This time, Lestrade did not helplessly compromise with Aurora, but continued to insist on what he said just now: "Aurora, you must come here, not as a police detective of Scotland Yard, but as a relative of the victim." identity of."

The lazy Aurora suddenly stopped all her movements when she heard the last sentence, and just stared at Lestrade in a daze, hoping that he would smile and tell her: This is just a joke, Happy April Fool's Day.

Aurora has even started to calculate whether today is April Fool's Day or not.

However, Lestrade did not say that this was a joke as she hoped, but looked back at Aurora with a serious face and unavoidable eyes, and gave her the last hope in a regretful tone Sentenced to death: "Aurora, the deceased is... Li Chengzhi."

Aurora vaguely felt that her ears caught the word "Li Chengzhi", but then shook her head, thinking that she had heard it wrong.Li Chengzhi is also a member of the Ministry of State Security of China, how could he be murdered so easily?

I must have heard it wrong, it must be.

All of a sudden, the emotions that had been suppressed in her heart due to her father's death some time ago also surged up.It was like throwing a stone into the clear lake water, causing ripples, and the originally calm lake surface even became choppy, turning the silt deposited at the bottom of the lake to the surface of the lake.

The lake water, which was originally clear, is now extremely turbid.

The sadness of his father's death is the mud deposited at the bottom of the lake, and the sudden news of Li Chengzhi's death is the stone thrown into the lake.And that lake is Aurora's own heart lake.

Aurora felt that she was hit by an emotion called "vulnerability". She covered her temples with her hands, shook her head mechanically and frantically, and tears flowed from her bright eyes.

Sherlock and Lestrade looked at Aurora, who was crying and about to collapse, helpless.

The floodgate of memory opens slowly, and the torrent rushes down with the opening and closing of the gate.

At that time, Aurora stayed in the Muggle world for so many years, and finally met a person she could admire from the bottom of her heart—Mycroft Holmes, and was adopted by him as his subordinate, MI[-]. An agent of the Department.When Aurora was carrying out tasks, she was always able to meet the requirements, or even over-fulfilled the tasks, and because of this, she gradually came into Mycroft's eyes.

At that time, an MI[-] agent betrayed Mycroft and the British government behind him, and joined a notorious criminal organization that committed murder and arson.The organization has been traced by MI[-] for a long time, but they have never succeeded in finding out their details.When the traitor chose to defect, the big boss Mycroft was very keenly aware of the situation.

This is a good opportunity for them to track down the traitor and crack down on this criminal organization all the way.

Mycroft entrusted this important task to Aurora Hopps, who had just joined MI[-] but had outstanding performance and had not failed in the mission so far.

Aurora followed the traitor all the way to the base of the criminal organization, and was not noticed by the traitor.There, she met Li Chengzhi, a member of China's Ministry of State Security who was also on the hunt for the gang.

The two met on a narrow road.

Because Aurora knocked down a small patrol soldier in a secluded corner, stripped off his fat organization-specific clothing, and put it on herself.When Li Chengzhi met Aurora, seeing the clothes on her body, he naturally thought that she was also a member of the criminal gang, so he started to fight without any explanation.

The clothes that Aurora snatched to camouflage herself were too bulky, combined with her tall figure, it really didn't fit well, and affected the speed of her movements.And Li Chengzhi was worried that the person who was fighting with him would send out a signal, attracting other people in the organization to worry and lose concentration.

As a result, the two people with similar skills have been at a stalemate.

Aurora naturally knew in her heart that the other party was not a member of a criminal organization, but when accepting the task, Mycroft specifically asked her not to reveal her identity, whether it was to enemies or allies.So she could only keep silent, unable to express her suffering.

Later, they made too much noise, and finally attracted people from the organization.

Li Chengzhi was eager to escape, fearing that Aurora would continue to fight with him, so he used the small mechanism he carried to trip her.

Originally, Aurora wanted to hide and not be discovered by the people who rushed over from the criminal organization, but the small mechanism left by Li Chengzhi hindered her pace.She accidentally missed the best opportunity to leave, so she had to stay and wait for the group to ask questions.While praying that there would be no one who could see through her identity among the visitors, she was thinking about how to explain it later, whether to say that an unknown intruder attacked her suddenly, and she fought with that person.Most importantly, she has to figure out how to answer the "Why don't you signal someone else to help her?" question.

However, Aurora thought so much, it was all in vain.There happened to be one person who was familiar with all the members of the organization, and it was immediately obvious that she was an intruder disguised as one of his own.

For a while, the atmosphere was extremely tense.

Aurora glanced at these people sharply, and roughly calculated how many people came in total, and whether she could handle so many people at the same time.

There are nine people in total, many of them are experts, it seems impossible.

Li Chengzhi, who was hiding in the dark, had not had time to run too far, witnessed this scene, and realized that Aurora was a friend rather than an enemy.Although she didn't know where she was sent to investigate the criminal organization, she was in a dilemma after all because of herself.If he just stood by and watched like this, he couldn't feel too sorry about it.

So he triggered the mechanism that had been placed in the distance long ago, in case of emergency, and used a trick of "striking east and west", attracting most of the people here.

Two people remained here to guard Aurora, and the other seven ran to check if she had any accomplices to invade the base.

When the seven people who went to check were gone, Li Chengzhi resolutely ran out from the dark place, and two people, Aurora and Aurora, each took care of one, and dragged her out of here.

The author has something to say:

Susu's favorite team lost again, so she was so sad that she forgot to hit the space, and also forgot that the writer had something to say.

I hope the cuties don’t think Lola is hypocritical. She also has a fragile side. She has been strong for so long, so let’s cry out all the accumulated negative emotions at once.

The last sentence has nothing to do with the text, I hope the Warriors advance to the finals!
