With the case over, Sherlock left Scotland Yard contentedly.Merlin bless, this big case is enough to keep him quiet for a few days.

Ever since Aurora was appointed to become a police detective, she has never encountered a problem that she alone could not solve.Seeing that it didn't take long for Sherlock to intervene in the case, the problem was solved, and I felt somewhat uncomfortable, but more of the dissatisfaction caused by the competitive spirit.

She really wanted to go head-to-head with the only consulting detective in the world, but she knew that she didn't have the qualifications.After all, without Sherlock, she wouldn't be able to save Scotland Yard from Edward Rodriguez with her abilities.She was not as skilled as others, so she had to back down temporarily.And the relationship with Sherlock Holmes forced her to be polite and respectful to him.

"I've never seen you be so polite to anyone." Lestrade stared at the back of Sherlock who was fading away, and couldn't help sighing.

"You know. My superior won't allow me to be rude to him." Aurora shrugged helplessly.

"That's true. But I still can't believe that the person who arranged you into Scotland Yard was just to lighten my burden. That would be too talented." Lestrade was very puzzled.

"Of course it's not that simple." Aurora smiled slyly.

"What task did that person give you?" Lestrade asked thoroughly.

"That's secret." Aurora looked mysterious.

"Including monitoring Sherlock Holmes?" Lestrade asked tentatively.

"Why do you think I live next door to 221B Baker Street?" Aurora pointed.

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

Having just been baptized by a big case, Sherlock was unexpectedly quiet for a whole week, without the sound of a violin sawing wood, and without the old habit of being aggressive.But on the eighth day, he had a "relapse".

"Look at the flour all over your body and these pastries! I said earlier that the owner of the sandwich shop downstairs can't be trusted." Sherlock returned to the state of boredom and irritability.

"I didn't expect to see the scene where Sherlock Holmes reasoned wrong in my lifetime." Mrs. Hudson casually held up a piece of glutinous rice cakes, her joy was beyond words, "This kind of dessert from the East is newly moved from next door. What Aurora taught me to make wasn't something new from the sandwich shop downstairs."

"Aurora? Is it Aurora Hopps?" Sherlock didn't expect that his new neighbor was Scotland Yard's "IQ Responsible" detective.

"So you know each other." The gossiping Mrs. Hudson obviously misunderstood the relationship between them, and put on an expression of "I understand", "Actually, there is another room here, and she can move here. Maybe, you I'd rather live in one."

"No need." Sherlock frowned slightly, and added labels labeled "good at baking Chinese tea" and "deliberately approaching me" in the folder belonging to Aurora in the memory hall.

Mrs. Hudson was still figuring out how to get Sherlock to change her tsundere habit and do as she wanted (she thought), and invited Aurora to move to 221B, and the doorbell rang.

Carrying a bag of glutinous rice flour in her hand, Aurora walked up the stairs and stood quietly in front of the living room on the second floor.

Mrs. Hudson rushed to the side of the cabinet in a hurry, raised her hand to take off the skull on it, but stopped her hand when she was about to touch it, and shouted to Sherlock: "Sherlock, quickly take your skull away." Mr. Skeleton hides, don't scare Aurora! And your room needs to be cleaned, whatamess! Quickly adjust your collar, she will come in soon!"

Sherlock was still sitting on the sofa, resting the violin on his left shoulder, and said unhurriedly, "Officer Hopps, how long are you going to eavesdrop outside the door?"

Aurora knew that no matter how lightly she stepped, it was impossible to hide from Sherlock's keen hearing. She was not surprised when she heard him say that. She opened the door and walked into the living room with a calm demeanor, as if she had just heard someone whose corner was ripped apart. Not her.

"Oh, Aurora, you're here!" Mrs. Hudson gave Sherlock a sideways look, and explained for him, "Sherlock didn't mean that, and you know he's not good at expressing himself, he just wanted to..."

Sherlock looked up at Aurora impatiently, his mouth slightly opened, as if he wanted to make a long speech about what she had just done.Then he paused and shut his mouth again because he could barely see anything in Aurora.

Aurora Hopps tried to hide herself from him, and she succeeded.This kind of thing has never happened before, unique.It was only then that Sherlock remembered that before Edward Rodriquez was arrested, he had focused all his attention on the case and hadn't had time to look at Aurora carefully.But he clearly remembered that when he first met Aurora and scanned Aurora's body, there was nothing worth noting.

And Sherlock also knew that Aurora wanted to show him this fact.If Aurora deliberately disguised himself as an ordinary person who could be stripped off as Ferrero at any time, then he probably wouldn't have noticed the flaw.

Of course, Sherlock won't be free enough to actually peel a Ferrero, and he won't eat it either. In his opinion, desserts are exclusive to Mycroft.

In fact, what Sherlock said was right, Aurora really came to visit 221B with such a mentality.But what he didn't know was that before she went out, she spent a full three hours and 25 minutes cleaning her body of all traces that might reveal her identity or experience.

Aurora suddenly felt that the time when she didn't know Sherlock was better, at least she didn't have to spend hours every day hiding herself.Ever since she was assigned by "that" to approach Sherlock, Aurora has been exhausted both physically and mentally.

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

Sherlock never let go of any mystery, let alone this one around.To find out, he sent this text message just four days after Aurora first visited 221B Baker Street.

"If it's convenient, please send a few more bags of glutinous rice flour from last time.——SH"

"If it's inconvenient, please send it too.——SH" Sherlock seemed to have anticipated how Aurora would respond, so he sent another text message to block her way out.

"It's just been four days, and the glutinous rice flour I sent over is used up? Don't tell me, you fed all those delicious glutinous rice cakes to Eric. - AH" Aurora said answer.

"Eric?——SH" Sherlock immediately brainstormed, but found no information about the name from the memory hall.

"Stray dogs in nearby streets. - AH" Aurora had the thrill of a successful prank.

"Glutinous rice flour has good viscosity when mixed with water, and it is very suitable as a raw material for adhesives. -SH" Sherlock explained.

"So you're just developing a new type of adhesive?——AH" Aurora felt a little distressed by the glutinous rice flour that was sent there four days ago and is about to be sent there.

"Yep.——SH" Sherlock's answer was concise and clear.

"Wait.——AH" Aurora immediately opened the phone's address book and dialed out the phone, "Orange Juice, send someone to deliver a few bags of glutinous rice flour to Sherlock Holmes at 221B Baker Street, and charge it to my account."

"Lolo, 360 yuan and [-] cents have been recorded in your account, when are you going to pay me back?" A lazy voice came from the phone.

Aurora thought for a moment, and replied seriously: "Then wait until you die."

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

Sherlock filled the table with test tubes, beakers and other bottles and jars, and the glutinous rice flour was unevenly spread on the floor, which was as clean as snow.

After a week of unremitting efforts and countless experiments, he finally developed a more adhesive reagent.He looked at the finished product in the test tube with satisfaction, and slightly raised the corners of his lips.

"Dong dong dong", there was a faint knock on the wall next door.

“—··|———|·——|—·|···|—|·—|··|·—·|···|··—||——|·—·|— ·—·|·—|···|·”

Sherlock listened carefully and discovered the pattern, then dropped the test tube in his hand, put on a black coat, and rushed out the door.

"It's not slow." Aurora, who was waiting downstairs, signaled him to get into the car that had already parked by the side of the road.

"(Go) downstairs for (the) case. (Go downstairs, there is a case.) You are very familiar with Morse code." Sherlock repeated the Morse code that Aurora typed in the next house just now, and came to such a conclusion.

"Just common sense. (Just common sense.)" Aurora winked playfully and stepped on the gas pedal.

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

"We've locked down the suspect..." Lestrade immediately greeted Sherlock and Aurora who were coming.

"Then why did you call us here?" Aurora turned around and left after hearing this.

"But that person has an alibi." Lestrade, who was often interrupted before he finished speaking, was used to this situation.

"Speak." Sherlock motioned him to continue.

The deceased, Norman Parrott (Norman·Parrott), the new vice president of PrinceKey, lived on the seventeenth floor of this apartment.He fell from the balcony at 57:[-] this morning and was killed instantly by numerous witnesses.The deceased's daughter, Valerie Parrott, who was nearby at the time, witnessed the scene and accused Timothy Lennox, who lived on the third floor and came downstairs to check on the noise. (Timothy Lenox) is the murderer.

According to Valerie, Timothy was the former vice president of PrinceKey, and the deceased was his subordinate, who was promoted after exposing him for embezzling a large amount of public funds.After Timothy Lennox was dismissed, he has always held a grudge against the deceased Norman Parrott, and even threatened to kill him.

But Timothy insisted it was just a joke and offered to have an alibi.A group of witnesses rushed to the third floor of the apartment. Timothy Lennox walked into the room first, and picked up the glass on the table, asking everyone to see clearly, the beer inside was still foaming.One of the witnesses, Li Chengzhi, immediately took photos to collect evidence and preserved them.

Because the elevator was out of order and could not be used, it took at least 5 minutes to go from the third floor to the 5th floor, and another 3 minutes to turn back, plus the [-] minutes of delay downstairs, far exceeded the time for the beer foam to completely disappear.

The author has something to say:

The first case is finally over. It seems that the pace is a bit fast. I will try to slow down in the future.When this case was first conceived, it was just after watching Grandma's "Murder on the Orient Express", and I always felt unhappy that there were not many murderers.Later, I felt that it was too monotonous for only a few of their sisters to kill people, so I added conspiracy theories.Later, I wanted to make it more complicated, so we had Mo Niang.

In short, although Mo Niang has not appeared for the time being, there will be clues running through the whole text, and he is everywhere, the kind of lingering ghost.

Also, pay attention to Eric, it will appear in the future.The heroine's best friend is also online, Luoluo is so close.As for why the unit of calculation is RMB, you can guess for yourself.

Encoding this complicated case has crippled a lot of brain cells, and I have to take a literature test recently, which is said to be the test for identifying illiteracy in Ontario.I am afraid that I am illiterate in the legend, I hope I can pass the exam tomorrow.So, let’s start with a small case, which is adapted from an episode of Conan, but it’s not the same.It was because it was difficult to pass the exam, so the day before the exam, I failed Conan (the case adapted from the book).

It was agreed from the beginning that it will not be updated on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so today is the last update, and there will be no tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.Just put up the details of the small case. You have two days to solve the case. If you have the result, please send me a comment. I will definitely reply after I see it.

Dear you, is it not good to comment more and save more?I will really add more comments.Also, don't miss me too much these two days.

Wish me luck with my illiteracy test tomorrow.Love you guys, refills.
