Sherlock Holmes' Neighborhood 221C

"If you don't arrest me, I'll run away before the police arrive," Dylan said.

"Then you run," Sherlock said, relaxing and leaning back in the chair.

Dylan: "..."

Dylan wanted to lean back in the chair too, and stopped himself suddenly, looking like his back spasmed for a second.Dylan spread his hands: "Whatever you want to say. Or you want to say that I can't escape the police at all. This is impossible. You know the uselessness of the London police. You need your assistance to handle a small case. In this case, as long as I want to go, I can go at any time."

"So, why don't you go." Sherlock looked at him leisurely, as if everything was under control.

"..." Dylan: "I will go, you will never find me."

After speaking, Dylan took a deep look at Sherlock, got up and left.

Sherlock took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Lestrade with his fingers.Looking out the window, there was someone sitting where Wu Zhen was before, but Wu Zhen was nowhere to be seen.

Sherlock summoned the waiter to pay the bill, walked out of the coffee shop, the sun was a bit dazzling, he stretched out his hand to cover it, and walked across the street.Sure enough, Wu Zhen was no longer in the small roadside seat.

"waiter."

The waitress came over enthusiastically, twisting her waist and hips. "What is it, sir."

"When did that foreign black-haired lady who sat here just now leave?"

"Oh, she, she just left not long ago."

"How was it before you left?"

"Well, that's not clear, there are too many people here, how can I pay attention?"

Sherlock sent a text message to Wu Zhen asking for the address.

【Where are you? 】

【SH】

Fourteen minutes later, Wu Zhen received a text message.

[on the street. 】

【W · Z】

[That street? 】

【SH】

[Don't worry, Sherlock, I'm safe and have some personal issues to deal with. 】

【W · Z】

[I hope you are safe. 】

【SH】

[... couldn't be more secure. 】

【W · Z】

Sherlock saw what he meant and Wu Zhen had fully understood it, so he felt relieved.

......

London.

As night falls, the lights are dim.There are many high-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete.

"Yes sir, I'll be on the lookout. Heard someone got caught... won't it be interrupted? That's great. Someone's going to take her place? Okay, I see.. ...I'll be careful, Mr. Don't worry...no, I'm not...okay."

The speaker's tone was very calm and sincere. His hand holding the phone was veined, he put the phone on the table, and adjusted his bow tie in front of the mirror in front of the table.He doesn't use this mirror often, and it has been covered with a thin layer of dust. There is no one at home, and he can't afford a part-time worker, so the layer of dust has always been there.

He unbuttoned the cuff buttons of both hands, and twisted the watch on his wrist. He liked this watch very much, and it was a Christmas present from his family before.The watch was also untied and placed on the table.Facing the mirror, I stretched my neck and cleared my throat a few times.He is ready.

dong dong dong-

The door rang, someone was knocking on the door.

He murmured, "Why are people still looking for me now?"

Walking over to open the door, he staggered a bit, and looked back at the things on the table hesitantly.Go and turn the doorknob, and the door opens.He was instantly bounced off by the force of "opening the door" outside the door, and fell heavily to the ground. When he looked up, he found a gun pointed at him, and a team of armed personnel quickly dispersed in his room to conduct scattered inspections.

There was almost darkness in front of his eyes, and his lips trembled: "No, you can't do this to me. You can't do this to me! It's not fair!"

The last sentence went crazy, and he slammed into the muzzle of the gun. The armed man who pointed the gun at him received an order to keep him alive, and immediately retracted his gun and subdued him to the ground.

"No! No! You can't do this to me! God! God!" He kept writhing on the ground, like a writhing maggot, his face burst into redness, and he couldn't tell whether it was sweat or tears. "God! God!"

He still couldn't escape the force that restrained him.

He was forced to lie on the ground and sob.

"God, god..."

......

Lestrade was very excited when he received the text message from Sherlock. He set off to prepare for the arrest almost immediately after reading the text message. The text message gave three addresses, and two of them were marked next. The address of the person who is about to throw himself into the river.There is another more important thing, the mastermind.Lestrade was going to arrest him himself. Of course, that guy Gleason didn't deserve the credit this time. The case was solved in his hands, and he must be very angry.

A group of people sneaked to the apartment building, and Lestrade knocked on the door.There was no answer for a long time, so he knocked again and said, "Is anyone there?"

Still no one answered for a long time.

Lestrade made a gesture and stepped back.The armed police officer behind him stepped forward, aimed his gun at the latch and fired twice, kicking the door open.

It was dark inside.

After the police kicked in the door, the police used their flashlights to shoot around and found a figure. The light gathered into a beam and illuminated Dylan's location into a huge circular spot of light.The strong light stimulated Dylan's retina, and he couldn't help secreting a few tears.

Dylan was expressionless, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and sat on the red sofa facing the door without saying a word, with a mobile phone beside him.

Many guns were aimed at him, and seeing that he didn't intend to struggle, a policeman retracted his gun, uncuffed his handcuffs from his waist, and handcuffed Dylan's hands.During the whole process, Dylan was very cooperative. The special police officers arrested countless criminals. It is rare to see such a cooperative person, and the people in front of them did not panic at all.

Lestrade made a special observation. According to the furniture layout of the whole room, the red sofa was not facing the door, but someone deliberately changed its direction.All indications indicated that the prisoner in front of him was most likely waiting for them on purpose.

Cast yourself into the net?

or what.

In short, the arrest did not meet with the slightest resistance, and Lestrade was quite satisfied with the outcome.

Dylan was suppressed, and when he passed Lestrade, he suddenly asked, "Where is Sherlock Holmes?"

Lestrade noticed that his eyes were black and blue, his expression was suppressed and calm, and his hair showed signs of sweat. Could it be that he had struggled mentally before?

why?

"He's not here, go see him at the police station." Lestrade scolded angrily. "Go, go. Close the team!"

Sherlock is not at the police station at the moment.When it was still dark, he went to look for Wu Zhen.

Originally, Wu Zhen only left for a short time, unexpectedly, Sherlock could not find anyone everywhere, 221B was not there, the school was not there, and there was no one in Sophie's shop that he often went to.

At this time, the case has not yet been determined whether Dylan has other helpers. It is impossible to guarantee that he will not have the heart to retaliate against the existence of the people around him. How can he be relieved with a text message of "Relax"?

He had never felt so anxious before, and sent Wu Zhen another text message.

[Last question, where are you? 】

【SH】

Judging from Wu Zhen's text message, she was very peaceful and there was no accident.

back:

【What's wrong?Who messed with our famous detective?I'm on the banks of the Thames. 】

【W · Z】

There is nothing wrong with reading between the lines.

Sherlock took a taxi to the Thames.

The driver asked, "Where are you going?"

The Thames is very wide, and there are many places to go.Sherlock said the name of a place where they caught the woman trying to throw herself into the river last time.There is a nice view over there.

It was getting late.As night fell, the clouds rolled and clouds spread across the Thames, like layers of tumbling flames.The air by the river has a damp and fresh smell, mixed with a little muddy smell.

Sure enough, Wu Zhen sat by the river bank and watched the river.

A head of hair was raised together with the tulle clothes.Sherlock walked over to her and sat down.I ran too fast and choked.Sherlock coughed a few times.

Wu Zhen helped him to relax.

"I think the case is over and I just want to see the Thames."

"It's dangerous to follow me." Sherlock said, "I must pay attention to your safety all the time."

"That's it."

"Is the Thames nice?"

"Well, I've been in England for so long, and I haven't seen the Thames River properly except that night. It's the first time I saw it. It's very fresh. It's naturally beautiful. When I see the Thames River as a daily routine, no matter how beautiful the scenery is. It will also be eclipsed."

"No, every time I see the scenery, I have a new surprise."

"Oh... Sherlock, I thought you couldn't be lyrical."

"It's not lyrical, I'm just telling the truth."

......

The flame clouds in the sky gradually dimmed, like a red carbon fire that was gradually extinguished. As night fell, the street lamps lit up like pearls one by one, forming a string of pearls on the river bank.

Wu Zhen likes to watch the moment when street lamps light up one by one. It is like the sun setting and the moon rising. The moment when the dividing line appears.

Wu Zhen shook his feet twice, humming a song in a good mood, naturally it was a tune from his hometown, but tunes and music don't respect borders.

"Dylan, is he the mastermind?"

"It's the mastermind of this case, and it's not yet known who is behind him."

"It's not over yet, isn't it Sherlock, it's not over yet."

"That doesn't make any difference to me, the case is a little more interesting."

"That's right, life is really boring."

Sherlock's cell phone received a text message from Lestrade.

[The prisoner said he wanted to see you, he said he had something important to tell you only, if you miss it, there will be no second time. 】

【G·L】

【I'm coming soon】

【SH】

"Wu Zhen, let's go."

"Where?"

"Go to the police station."

"I still want to sit here for a while, you go."

"it is good."

Sherlock took a ride and went straight to the police station.Wuzhen is by the river. This is a place with less traffic and suitable for leisure. At night, many people come here to sit and relax without doing anything.

Wu Zhen lay down slowly, putting his hands behind his head alternately.Barefoot, humming a song.There are many people like her around, she looks unremarkable at this moment, leisurely among the crowd.

A person walked slowly to stand directly on top of her head, Wu Zhen felt the change of light, and looked up at him.The man smiled lightly and sat down beside Wu Zhen.
