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

Chapter 8 Amethyst surrender case

Officer Donovan was finally persuaded by Aurora, collected all the information about the case, and was ready to start the investigation.And Sherlock and Aurora have always looked down on this kind of behind-the-scenes work, and it is even more impossible to participate in it.

"The case is over, is there any need to continue the interrogation?" Lestrade, who had lost his mind with the two of them, was full of confusion.

"Do you think the case is over? Then tell me." Aurora glanced at him with a slight disdain, and didn't answer the question.

"Desmond Washburn, head of the Human Resources Department of MemFol, tried to mess with his secretary, Amy Hester Grande, in her office. Miss Grande picked up the He threw his metal thermos cup at Desmond Washburn’s head, which is self-defense. The case is clear and well organized, so it can be closed.” Lestrade sorted out the case again, hands clenched grip.

"Oh, come on. Obviously, this is a murder disguised as a self-defense." Sherlock sat behind the desk at the scene of the crime, with his elbows on the table, his fingers crossed against his chin, and he came to a conclusion easily.

"Where is it obvious? Besides, Miss Grande has no reason to do this at all." Lestrade deeply lamented why the difference in IQ between the same people was so great, looked up at the sky, and burst into tears.

"Reduction of sentence." Aurora once again scorned his IQ.

"I mean she had no motive for murdering Desmond Washburn. For money? There is absolutely no way his estate will go to her. Love murder? If she is really his lover, she should wait for him Divorce his current wife and marry him back home. Vendetta? I have sent people to investigate, and the two have no grievances within three generations." Lestrade analyzed very conscientiously, and was very concerned about the fact that his IQ was underestimated. Expressed strong dissatisfaction with the matter, but it can be regarded as gradually getting used to it.

"With Scotland Yard's ability to handle affairs, it is not surprising that the murderer's motive cannot be investigated." Sherlock said unhurriedly and very unbeaten.

"Listen to what other employees have to say, and you may get unexpected results." In order to protect the glorious image of the workplace, Mihao employee Aurora changed the subject in a timely manner.

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

After a round of interrogation, Officer Donovan archived the valuable testimony collected during the process.

"I was just outside the office. First there was a scream from Amy Hester, and then there was the sound of something made of metal falling to the ground. I really didn't expect this to happen. In fact, I always thought Amy Hester was alone. It seems that I was wrong about the fact that the college student who just graduated can skip the internship period and be hired directly because of her improper relationship with Mr. Washburn.” Miss Swan, a staff member of the Human Resources Department, said so.

"I am a private detective hired by Mrs. Vivienne Washburn to investigate Mr.'s secret lover hidden in the workplace. Before that, I always thought that Miss Grande was that person, and my colleagues also said that the two of them The relationship was ambiguous, but now...maybe I made a mistake." This is the confession of another employee, Mr. Green.

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

"How is it? Is there any new discovery?" Lestrade flipped through the case files that had been sorted out in boredom.

It has to be said that he, the detective of Scotland Yard, really has peace of mind. Sherlock and the newly assigned Aurora are the ones who solve the case, the forensic doctor Anderson is the one who examines the body, and Officer Donovan organizes the data.

And his job, when encountering a difficult case, is probably to lower his posture and look down, ask Sherlock for help, and then quietly wait for the case to be solved.But recently he has a new mission, assigned by that person, to cooperate with Aurora to hide his identity and monitor Sherlock.

"I have some clues, but I still need to chat with the deceased's wife, Vivienne Washburn, to verify my opinion." Aurora has read the information Donovan compiled, and replied very seriously.

"Is there really an undiscovered truth?" Lestrade had always been skeptical about the statement that there was something hidden in the case, but at this moment he still couldn't believe it.

"It's fine if you don't believe me. Do you even question what Sherlock Holmes said?" Aurora narrowed her eyes, annoyed that her words were not trusted.She knew that Sherlock's words had always been regarded as the truth by Inspector Lestrade, so she said angrily.

"In my memory, the virtue of humility has never belonged to the unyielding Aurora." It's not that Lestrade doesn't believe in Aurora, but the truth is too incredible.Several months of getting along was enough for him to know what Aurora's expression meant to be angry. He immediately stopped discussing this topic and joked with great interest.

"Temporary skills are inferior to others, and I am willing to admit defeat." Aurora emphasized the word "temporary", but her expression was completely contrary to her words, and her face was full of dissatisfaction.

And Lestrade just looked at her jokingly, without saying a word.

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

Since she entered Scotland Yard and became a police detective, Aurora knew that Lestrade would not dare to do anything to her, so instead of working diligently, she often sabotaged her work, arrived late and left early, and even Sometimes he will skip work, and only reluctantly perform his duties as a police detective when there are difficult cases.

However, when handling the case, Aurora is still very dedicated.For example, now, after figuring out the joints, Aurora has been looking for Vivienne Washburn, the family member of the deceased, non-stop.

"So, Mr. Green was indeed entrusted by you to go to MemFol to investigate... a lady?" Aurora chose this statement after considering her current mental state.It's not that she's a saint, but she's willing to be kind to her without much effort.

"Yes..." Vivienne Washburn's eyes were dull, and she was staring blankly into the distance, her voice was as thin as a gnat, and her voice was as desperate as a cicada in late autumn.

"Then, how did you know that this lady exists and that she works for MemFol?" Aurora used euphemistic words, trying not to touch the poor lady's pain.

"You don't know this police officer. Recently, my husband has repeatedly brought up divorce-related matters. Moreover, there is always a very strange person who calls our landline, but does not say anything after connecting. But if it is When my husband picked up the phone, they chatted for a long time and had a good time. Once, after I got connected, I could not say the usual 'Vivian'sspeaking (here is Vivian)', and I heard A delicate female voice came from the phone, saying, 'Honey, you can pick me up tomorrow morning, and we'll go to work together'." Vivienne Washburn forced herself to suppress her inner grief, and intermittently narrated Evidence of her husband's infidelity.

"Mrs. Washburn should take a good rest and get here today." Aurora looked sympathetically at Vivienne who might collapse at any moment, and stood up.

"Officer Hopps, please stay!" Vivian Washburn stood up eagerly, tightly pulling on Aurora's cuff, as if grasping for a life-saving straw.

"What else is there?" Aurora looked at her tightly clenched cuffs, took a deep breath, and resisted the urge to shake her off.

After all, this Mrs. Washburn was as betrayed by her family as she was.

"I heard that the murder weapon was... the metal thermos cup I gave you. And... there was only that heavy object at the scene of the crime. Is it... If I didn't send it out, would my husband just No..." Vivienne Washburn buried her tear-stained face in a handkerchief and asked with sobs, secretly hoping for a negative answer.

Aurora closed her eyes, trying to recall the scene at that time, and found that it was indeed the case, but she couldn't bear to tell her the truth, so she had to ask, "Who did you hear it from?"

"It was a female police officer who told me when she called to inform me about the progress of the case." Vivienne Washburn frowned, as if she had suddenly remembered something. "Her voice was very strange."

When Aurora heard this, she became suspicious.

There couldn't be a female detective in Scotland Yard who could spot details that even she didn't notice.

"That...what's the lady's name? Maybe I should apologize to her in person. After all, my husband was at fault for this incident, but she will be imprisoned for it..." Vivienne Washbu Eun added tearfully.

She is really a good person, and the translation is that she is full of sympathy. When she herself is suffering a huge blow, she still wants to apologize to the instigator who caused her pain.

"Amy Hester Grande." Aurora answered truthfully.

"Her surname is Grande?" Vivienne Washburn's expression changed drastically, as if she had been struck by five thunders, "This is really...retribution!"

"What retribution?" Aurora grasped the point keenly and asked back.

Vivienne Washburn didn't answer, shook her head in despair, staggered back a few steps, and fell down on the sofa.

She knew that she had done some wrong things before meeting Desmond, some wrong things that could not be forgiven.Like that Miss Amy Heister Grande who had never met before, she easily broke up other people's families, but she didn't care.She was blinded by interests at the time, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with what she did.

But since she met Desmond and married him, she realized how important family is in a woman's heart.She remembered what she had done before, and regretted it too much.

Later, she sensitively felt that there was something between her and Desmond, which could not be untied.Her intuition told her it was a human being, so she hired a private investigator to investigate for her.

She learned of the existence of that young lady logically, but she kept avoiding it, and didn't even want to know her name.The strange thing was that she didn't have the hatred she imagined for that lady, and she didn't even have any excessive emotions.Every time she thinks of this person, she seems to see another self, the self she was back then.

The author has something to say:

The origin of the name MemFol: Mem-Memory-思-怡, Fol-Fold-把-柏.It's so far-fetched, you bite me.

This is the benefit of the Leilao (Lestrade and Aurora) party. (Changes face) Are you kidding me, I'm on Carat CP.

I decided not to write too much in this talkative part, which is not conducive to my aloof image.
