A Tribute to Sherlock Holmes[Comprehensive]

The air was filled with a strong smell of dust, presumably it was in some place where no one had visited for a long time.Also, to choose a hostage shelter, the more uninhabited, remote and difficult to find, the better.

Izumi Hiratsuka moved her body, the long-time restraint made her body stiff and painful, compared with that, the strangled wounds on her wrists and feet were nothing.

She was attacked from behind on the way to Kudo's house, and then her mouth and nose were covered with a handkerchief.The handkerchief was stained with a pungent chemical smell, and shortly after it rushed into her nasal cavity, she gradually lost consciousness and finally passed out.

I don't know how long it took until he regained consciousness. Izumi Hiratsuka only knew that he was tied up and fell to the ground.She didn't open her eyes directly, it was very uncomfortable to lean against the cold and stiff ground.Even so, she maintained this uncomfortable posture without making any movement.

She quickly analyzed the current situation. There were people around, and because they were close to the ground, she could easily tell from the sound of footsteps that there was only one person on the other side.

It was clear she had been kidnapped, as her attacker was filming a blackmail video, and after footsteps approached her, she was roughly pinched in the face and forcibly turned the other way.

Of course the force was painful, but Hiratsuka Izumi remained silent.

The man's voice sounded slowly, speaking to the camera: "Detective Maori, you'd better not call the police. If I know that you called the police, what will happen to your lovely daughter..."

Then, the hand turned and grabbed Hiratsuka Izumi's neck.The man's strength was really ruthless, and the suffocation made Hiratsuka Izumi react subconsciously. She coughed a few times, unable to continue pretending.

"So you're already awake?"

The man was a little surprised, probably because he didn't expect that Izumi Hiratsuka was pretending to be dizzy.After he gave a cold snort, he threw Hiratsuka Izumi to the ground like throwing away trash.

The light in the room was not bright, which plunged the man into a dangerous violence.He stood in front of Izumi Hiratsuka, looking down at the girl who behaved in everything condescendingly: "Oh, as expected of a detective's daughter, she is not afraid in times of danger?"

Is it because he was regarded as Mao Lilan that he was kidnapped?

Izumi Hiratsuka was not too surprised by this situation. A few nights ago, when she and Mao Lilan went to the shopping street to buy clothes, she noticed that someone was following her.

Originally thought that it was Gin who asked Vodka to find some unknown person to catch him, but it turned out that he just wanted to kidnap Mao Lilan, and the funniest thing was that he caught the wrong person.It seems that this person doesn't know that she is not Mao Lilan.

May I ask what kind of person would mistake Mori Kogoro's daughter?It must be someone who has not had a new understanding with Kogoro for a long time, for example, a prisoner who was sent to the judicial office by Kogoro in the early years and recently released from prison after serving his sentence.So kidnap Mao Lilan and take revenge?

A clear speculation was quickly analyzed in Hiratsuka Izumi's mind as a conclusion, and after such considerations, Hiratsuka Izumi didn't feel anything scary anymore.

After all, compared to the organization's imprisonment of her during those two years, this kind of kidnapping is not worth mentioning to her.

"Uncle, I want to drink water..." Hiratsuka Izumi begged in a thin voice, with weak air and trembling of fear in his tone.

Pretending to be weak and innocent is always what Hiratsuka Izumi is good at, but at this moment, she does feel a little powerless because she hasn't had water or food since she was brought here.

This feeling is a bit familiar. She went on a hunger strike in the glass room where the organization imprisoned her, but this behavior did not achieve the end of death. The end result was that she was forced to inject a human body that would not let her kill herself required nutrients.

Oh, it's really like raising livestock.

Unknowingly, memories of being imprisoned were brought back, and Hiratsuka Izumi's eyes subconsciously became cold.Until the man pulled her hair and picked her up from the ground, she instantly switched back to the weak and pitiful mode.

The mouth of the mineral water bottle was roughly stuffed into her mouth, and after giving her a few sips of water, her request was satisfied.Although Hiratsuka Izumi said that he wanted to drink water, it was just to judge how alert the kidnappers were to her.

Izumi Hiratsuka choked on the water, and after coughing exaggeratedly a few times, she spoke to the kidnapper again: "Uncle, you can't threaten Detective Maori like this."

"Maori detective? Is that what you call your father?"

"I just want to tell you the truth. I am not the daughter of a Maori detective. My name is Izumi Hiratsuka."

Kogoro tried hard to think about how to stabilize the kidnappers, and how to keep the information that Izumi Hiratsuka was not Mao Lilan from being exposed.Hiratsuka Izumi was lucky, he reported his family name when he came up, and even told the truth.

However, she was just betting on the kidnapper's rebellious mentality. The man looked at her calmly, and couldn't believe what she said at all: "You want to beg me to let you go? Even if you beg me, change it." Sounds like a plausible reason? I’ve been observing for a few days. You’re coming in and out of Mori’s house. Besides, I’ve seen you before. You said you’re not Mori Kogoro’s daughter. You can think of such a reason .”

Hearing the man's answer, Izumi Hiratsuka was completely sure of the answer, the man who tied him up did this for revenge on Kogoro.And he said he saw Mao Lilan's "before", maybe it was a long, long time ago, right?His identity is probably an ex-convict who was recently released after serving his sentence.

"You want to take revenge on my father?" Hiratsuka Izumi asked tentatively.

The man snorted disdainfully when Izumi Hiratsuka admitted that she was Kogoro's daughter.He didn't answer, just dragged out a tattered wooden chair from the corner, as if preparing for the next thing.

Izumi Hiratsuka continued to say in her weak and pitiful voice: "...extortion for ransom is really the worst and most stupid way of revenge."

"What did you say?" The man was irritated, he turned and walked back to Izumi Hiratsuka, and kicked her as if venting his anger, "Say it again?" Then he kicked her hard again.

This man's self-esteem is too sensitive, and he suddenly became angry when he said a little bit of a blow.

Izumi Hiratsuka achieved her goal of probing, but the two kicks on her chest and lower abdomen directly kicked out her killing intent.She closed her eyes and focused her attention to calm herself down. Then, she threw out the inductive words: "If you just want revenge... I have a more destructive method than asking for a ransom."

The man didn't reply, but stopped the third kick that was about to kick towards Izumi Hiratsuka.It seems that he has become interested in the method that the latter said.

"It's about Kogoro Mori's scandal. Whether you expose it directly or sell it to the media as a confidential revelation, your income will be far more than asking for ransom, and it will also ruin his reputation."

"You think I'm going to believe you have that kind of thing..."

"Of course!" Izumi Hiratsuka interrupted excitedly, "If...if it's something like sexually assaulting your daughter, what do you think is going to be explosive?"

The man paused, this information was too shocking.

"Don't you believe it? I have been subjected to..." Hiratsuka Izumi hesitated to speak, tears glistened pitifully in her clear eyes, she murmured her lips, and did not finish her sentence for a long time.

This appearance is very deceptive, and in addition, Hiratsuka Izumi seems to be frightened, and after closing his eyes, he reveals painful emotions as if recalling something.

"...how is this possible!" the man shouted in a raised voice.

"Because of that... I have committed suicide many times...but..." Hiratsuka Izumi's voice was crying, and finally, his weakened voice choked.

This time, the man really believed it.Because when Hiratsuka Izumi's hands were tied with nylon cable ties, he did see many scars on those slender wrists that looked like they had been cut.

Hiratsuka Izumi looked at the change in the man's expression without any trace, and she knew that her words probably worked.

Then, she put on a compromising attitude, and pleaded softly: "Uncle, I can be a witness...I can cooperate with all your next actions..."

The man was silent for a while, as if he was still considering what Hiratsuka Izumi said.In the end, I didn't know what decision I made, so I just took tape and stuck it to the girl's eyes and mouth.

He couldn't directly meet the girl's innocent eyes, and he didn't want to hear her continue talking about her.So did it.

The police's investigation has progressed. From the Internet cafe that sent the letter to the email address, a man named Nishina Sousuke was found.

Nishina Sosuke, who served his sentence for intentional homicide 11 years ago, just got out of prison a few days ago.One of the detectives in charge of the Nishina incident at that time was Kogoro Mori who was still in the Metropolitan Police Department.

Revenge immediately after release from prison is also a reasonable motive.

But it was only to find out the identity of this person, and did not catch him or find his whereabouts.

Nishinazong only saw Mao Lilan when he was a child before intervening in the prison. Mao Lilan's back looks similar to that of Hiratsuka Izumi. Unfortunately, what the man found out in the end was only Hiratsuka Izumi's whereabouts, so it was not Mao Lilan who was caught when he started.

Kogoro has already prepared the next move with the police, took some time to prepare some cash, and is rushing to the information provided by the prisoner, the transaction place Mihua Station.

At this time, Kogoro received another call from Nishina: "Get rid of the policeman next to you, you come alone, and the location is changed to Kubado Station. Specifically, where do you put the money? When you get to Kubado Station, you can Know."

Before Kogoro could say another word, the other party cut off the call.At the same time, another email was received.

This time it's not a video, but just a photo.Izumi Hiratsuka in the photo didn't know how she was treated, she seemed to be in a coma again, this time she looked much worse than in the previous two videos - her clothes were messy and exposed, her body There are also inexplicable traces.

"Koizumi!?"

The prisoner no longer sends videos but pictures. Does this mean that there is something wrong with Izumi Hiratsuka's life?

The author has something to say: Don't worry, Quan Mei is fine_(:з」∠)_ She won't let herself die, and then start fooling the prisoner.

By the way, let me emphasize that "the two kicks on the chest and lower abdomen directly kicked out her murderous intentions".

The first half of this chapter is a continuation of the previous plot, and the timeline will be earlier, because in the previous chapter, Kogoro has received the video, and this is being filmed.

The second half is connected to the timeline of the previous chapter, and the two lines are aligned together.

I will update QWQ tomorrow, yes, I haven't finished writing the list yet.
