Baker Street Check-In Record [Sherlock Holmes]

"I just chatted with the owner of this store," he smiled. "A suspect provided a clear alibi, saying that he was indeed in the coffee shop. Police officers from Scotland Yard came to verify, which made me The second verification is a little more difficult, and the boss is getting impatient."

"But you got the answer you wanted." Cecily affirmed.

"I got the answer, at least the answer that the boss himself firmly believes in," Holmes said with some sarcasm on his face. This kind of emotion was a little vague, which made people feel fleeting. "But it aroused my greater doubts."

"What I want to ask more than this is, does Scotland Yard also think that Mr. Davis committed suicide?"

"Even the people of Scotland Yard should have figured out that a normal person would not face the sky when jumping from a building." Holmes didn't know what he had thought of, and his expression became quite profound. "They suspect that the two of us have covered up the murderer."

"Huh?" Cecily didn't react for a moment and was stunned for half a second, "Oh, I see, we rushed upstairs to open the door, and the door was locked from the roof, and the only way to get in and out of the roof is the door— —”

"Well, the only place where people can hide is the cleaning room. At that time, I saw from the window that there was no one in there." Holmes frowned. "Actually, it was a bit negligent. There are quite a lot of boxes inside. If you really want to hide, maybe There is still a way. So I went back and took a look at the cleaning room, and there was no trace of people in the hiding place, but the dust seemed to have fallen for a week."

"So people in Scotland Yard suspected that the murderer was hiding on the roof and escaped after we opened the door?" Cecily also felt a little absurd, "This is too..."

Holmes smiled, but there was some sullenness hidden under the smile: "This is not the first time I suspect that they have no brains."

Cecily couldn't see the somewhat angry frown of the male god, and said in a gentle tone: "Actually, it's understandable, after all, they haven't thought of any other way out for the time being, which shows that they have at least learned to rule out some impossibilities, such as the murderer's impossibility." Jump off the building."

Say it like a bad joke.

"Eliminate the impossible, and whatever remains, however incredible, must be the truth."

Holmes snorted slightly.

In Cecily's eyes, Sherlock Holmes is now wearing a flash effect, and there is even background music behind it, which is the suddenly excited violin music of Sherlock Holmes's stage play.

Come, come!Great detective classic lines!

Holmes was sensitive to the sudden uneasiness of his companion, who was suddenly agitated, under the sparkling eyes of hers.

"what happened?"

"It's all right, it's just..." Cecily coughed in disguise, "That sentence is very good, but the people at Scotland Yard don't have as much knowledge as you do, and the premise of the method of elimination is also that they understand To enumerate, to be exact exhaustive, to enumerate all possible scenarios. They can't do that, which is why they...they come to this conclusion."

What she wants to answer is: This is why they are not as good as you.

Holmes seemed a little relieved when he heard these words: "Actually, that sentence was often said by my father. Mycroft and I—my brother, we all learn from it."

Cecily's expression is probably: yes, yes, everything you said is right.

"Then what do you think of the murderer's escape method?" Cecily changed the subject.

"I don't have any ideas yet, maybe I have to go to the scene to have a look again. Rather than this, I would like to ask you what you saw that day?" a cup of coffee.

The waiter glanced at it and was about to blurt out if he wanted a cappuccino, but was interrupted by Cecily in time: "I want espresso."

After the waiter left, Cecily noticed that Holmes seemed to have glanced at her cup again. Cecily just wanted to hide the fact that she didn't like coffee very much (she didn't really know why she wanted to hide it, anyway. I don’t want him to know that the only coffee he can accept is cappuccino).

"Actually, I've already talked to the agent." Cecily pushed the cup aside, "I didn't come out after the exam that day, and I happened to be discussing the answers with Kent. Suddenly, I didn't check the time. From the end of the exam and Based on the walking time, it was around four ten in the afternoon."

"There were not many people on the side of the road at that time. As you know, the general class end time is [-]:[-], and only the students who take the exam will take the exam at [-]:[-]. It happens that Kent and I are two people, and the direction of the two of us is different from the big team , most students go to the dormitory, I happen to be going to the library, and Kent wants to go with me."

"Walk about five meters in front of that building. Kent saw the fall first. When I noticed, Mr. Davis had already landed on the third floor and almost the second floor—I remember it very clearly, just like that. When I got down, my first reaction was to go to see if I was dead—it should have died the moment I landed, and then I ran into the teaching building, which has only one entrance, but there are two stairwells, you should know. I Seeing the posture of Mr. Davis falling from the building, I felt that it was probably not a suicide. My first reaction was to go to the rooftop to arrest people. I asked Kent to guard Mr. Davis’s body where he was, and told him to pay attention to people coming and going, especially People who are in a hurry, run away without even taking a look at the excitement, people who don't fit in with the people around them."

"So did Kent see it?" Holmes raised his eyebrows, and after seeing Cecily's expression, he showed an unexpected expression, "They always don't see it."

"Actually, there is also my problem. I don't remember how I yelled, maybe I didn't say that in detail..." Cecily was a little embarrassed, "Maybe I just said to pay attention to whether there is anyone or something. "

Holmes didn't interrupt Sylvester, but he found that his friend had a small characteristic. He seemed to always excuse his friend, and even took his own responsibility on himself.This does not fit the rumored image of Larry Sylvester who is "a bit independent" and "has no sense of collective honor".

He didn't care too much, the people in the rumors were only sporadic information, and they might not be completely credible.

"However, even if you pay attention deliberately, it may not have any effect. Judging from the locked door, the murderer may not have come down from the stairwell." Holmes turned slightly sideways, allowing the waiter to pass by and put the coffee on Cecily's table.

The bitter taste of espresso rushed into Cecily's nose, and she wanted to frown a little: "Yes, I was thinking about this question too, as if I didn't understand why the roof door had such a lock. "

"I do know about the lock," said Holmes with a short smile. "It's just a matter of the fraternity on campus. Haven't you been recruited by them? Since your name is Sylvester."

Cecily was very surprised: "Brotherhood? I don't know."

"Anyway, fraternity members always do...pranks on people who are powerless and obnoxious behind the scenes," he said through gritted teeth when he said 'pranks', a rare reveal of his annoyance. "The one on the roof used to be a padlock, which was opened from the inside of the teaching building. Once, a student in the lower grade was pushed onto the roof and locked for a night. No one helped him. The next day he was in the fraternity When the classmate went downstairs, he jumped from the top and even crushed a student to death."

Cecily couldn't help being surprised, her mouth couldn't close her mouth: "My God, should I be glad that I didn't become one of them, and didn't encounter bad things."

"However, it's understandable. The fraternity always keeps a respectful distance from medical departments, perhaps because they are afraid that one day they will get sick and fall into the hands of their enemies," Holmes said in a gentle tone, as if to comfort him. "However, this lock is not our focus. I asked the old man who guards the door, and he said that the roof door has not been locked these days, because it happens to be cleaned these days, and we always have to go upstairs. Anyway, the cleaning room The door is locked, but the door to the rooftop is unlocked."

"You've done a lot of things this day," Cecily said dumbly. "I guess you've even found out whoever had a relationship with the victim."

"Yes, as I said, I came to the café to confirm a person's alibi." Holmes smiled.

Cecily hesitated for a while before handing over her last message.

"I think this may not be a simple vendetta," Cecily pursed her lips, "There may be something else behind it."

Holmes was a little surprised. There seemed to be a sea hidden in his deep eyes, and the sea was always charming and all-encompassing: "I want to know why you said that."

"Brother...I mean Leslie told me to stay away from this case." Cecily felt her lips dry, and took a sip of coffee. She frowned bitterly, and her throat was astringent. "If it's just Ordinary disputes between teachers and students or among colleagues, I don’t think Leslie will specifically tell me to avoid it, I think there must be something wrong with it, maybe… it has something to do with the Davis family.”

"Is it related to the Davis family?" His words coincided with Cecily's ending, his expression was obviously excited, and the sea in his eyes was also rippling, "Then..."

"But I still want to participate." Cecily grabbed the conversation, but she didn't finish her sentence.

But I still want to be part of it, with you.

The author has something to say: emmmm about the fraternity, the actor Jeremy of Daifuku mentioned it in the interview, anyway, there are some bad things, and this background is borrowed here.

A girl said that the detective romance is nothing exciting, and I actually became balls excited... Oh my god, this is a detective romance!detective!My mother, I never thought I could get this adjective. After all, I am a bit bad at this aspect... I dare not type it without seeing my suspenseful reasoning tag...

The collection is growing a little fast, I'll calm down and update the day after tomorrow.
