I haven't seen him for many years, and Napoleon, the former criminal world, is as old as ever.Li Mingye tossed Roland's case over and over again, and even went to the mental hospital to visit Miss Roland in person, and used psychological methods to comfort and treat her—but the result was still bad. Miss Roland passed away the next day, and she Of course, I went to investigate, but unfortunately, Miss Roland died of eating soil containing rat poison.

Emilia Roland has become more and more crazy since she went crazy. From the beginning, she just wiped the mud on her face and then poured the mud into her mouth.Li Mingye really couldn't believe that this was an accident, so he could only resent it - he was slow from the beginning, and it would be strange to win in the end!

However, she still found that Miss Roland's doctor deliberately used the wrong medical plan, which made Miss Roland's illness worse. Unfortunately, it was of no use. Just got a license.Li Mingye recalled the countless episodes of deja vu in his memory, and there was no fluctuation in his heart for a moment, and he gave up again with a hehe.

However, Professor McVitie has not been having a good time recently.He had just arrived in Oxford, and he didn't have too many henchmen in his hands. This time, he almost lost his shrewd and capable psychologist.And his old adversary was equally cunning. He monitored the lawyer invited by the psychiatrist for a period of time, seized a handle that was not (anti-harmony) law collection (anti-harmony) capital, and inserted it into the case with lightning speed. In prison - it might not hurt McVitty's business in London, but it will be a huge blow to his fledgling capital chain (running under a false identity) in Oxford.

But all in all, the coming and going of the two of you has come to an end for the time being.McVitie didn't dare to act rashly, and Li Mingye had no chance to take advantage of it. The two of them just stared at each other for several months, and in a blink of an eye, Christmas was coming again, and Oxford was on holiday again.And Professor McVitty planned to take advantage of the vacation to go back to London to sort out his influence, and Li Mingye immediately bought a train ticket and went straight to London without hesitation.She even specifically asked Li Weiyi, who was far away in China, before the holiday, to delay Li and his wife and let them stay in China for Christmas. For this request that made her brother a little embarrassed, Li Mingye chose to tell the truth.

After chatting casually for a while, Li Mingye said casually: "When I was studying in Oxford, I met an old professor with a very respectable mind (accent). This professor has impressive knowledge in both mathematics and philosophy. I have benefited a lot from the admirable intelligence of others.”

Rao was Li's only wit, and he couldn't help being stunned before reacting.Regarding his sister's tactful request for help, Li Weiyi immediately gave a guarantee: "Having such a respectable teacher is of great benefit to your studies, my dear Shirley. You can continue to study hard, the three of us People will be your loyal backing."

Having received the guarantee, Li Mingye no longer had to worry about the future. He took a train ticket and went straight to London. He didn't react until he got off the train and sent Sherlock a text message.At that time, Sherlock was in Scotland Yard, but after hearing the news, he had no choice but to send the address of his new house.

If you are an ordinary person, you must not go directly to the house rented by your friends for a long time when you are traveling.But one of them is Sherlock Holmes who doesn't understand human relations, and the other is Shirley Lee who never regards herself as an outsider. something is wrong.Li Mingye carried his luggage and went straight to Sherlock's residence on Oxford Street.

Oxford Street is arguably the busiest shopping district in London.When Li Mingye looks around, there is a lot of people and traffic. On both sides of the road, there are a row of bright and stylish shops and department stores. There are antique buildings interspersed in it. The whole street is full of quaint and rich British style. .Li Mingye got off the taxi after arriving at the place, and he felt his brain buzzing, all the details of the various pedestrians and passengers around him rushed into his mind, and he listed all the reasoning at once— —The amount of information in an instant is so large that even Li Mingye feels a headache.

She paid the fare, frowned with a headache and found Sherlock's new residence - a high-rise apartment, and deduced the password to open the door based on the wear and tear on the keypad of the password door, and then realized that she did not have a magnetic card.She glanced at the carpet at the door, and immediately deduced that Sherlock lived alone and not with the landlord, and there was really nothing she could do.

Just when she was about to find a place to rest, she suddenly heard some movement in the room.Li Mingye suddenly became alert. She immediately took out a modified double-sided stethoscope from her pocket, leaned against the door and listened carefully.After listening for a while, she quickly left her suitcase and went straight to the security room on the first floor of the building to report the incident.However, when the security guards were allowed to enter Sherlock's residence, they saw that the inside was in a mess, messy books and chemical reagents were overturned on the floor, and even one of the security guards rolled out an eyeball during the inspection. He screamed and nearly fell, but the so-called thief was gone.

Li Mingye calmly accepted everyone's skeptical scrutiny, and still chatted with the Chief of Security in a gentle and polite manner.

"Sherlock's residence is really terrible. He has never been very tidy and doesn't pay attention to the living environment."

"Oh, yes! Mr. Holmes has always been a withdrawn and solitary man, but according to the cleaners, they once found some terrible things in the dustbin..."

"Like eyeballs?"

"And dead hands and fingernails! I would say that a gentleman with such a decent appearance as Mr. Holmes should not do this. It often creates a very horrible atmosphere in our building."

"Your real estate company is really dedicated to the residents. This is a very good professional attitude and should be commended. Look, the inside and outside of the building are bright and beautiful, and the floors are spotless. It looks like a residence for a classy person." .”

"Of course! Our company doesn't just pay attention to the floor of the building, decent Oriental lady. We also clean the exterior wall regularly. If you look from the outside, you can distinguish our building from other buildings at a glance."

"Clean the exterior wall? Clean the exterior wall..." Li Mingye muttered a few words, and suddenly realized. "Where are those cleaners? Are they employees of your property company?"

"No, they were invited from Swick Cleaning Company. They will finish their work in a while, and when we finish the inspection..."

"Immediately check and accept! Call them all together, and I am very sure that the thief is among them." Li Mingye interrupted the chief of security, gave him a very dignified look, and said a little impatiently: "If the final result is different from what I expected, I will bear it!"

The chief of security muttered a few words, after all, it was an incident involving theft, and he didn't dare to disobey this strange lady's words.He hastily called all the cleaning personnel of the outer wall together, but Li Mingye identified two of them with just one glance.The head of security immediately felt that the lady was too reckless, and was about to stop him, when he saw the lady take out a small plastic bag from one of the people's trouser pockets with an unquestionable gesture.

"I believe this is something that belongs to Sherlock. He is currently in the police station working on a case. I think he will be very grateful for this little favor." Li Mingye smiled and played with the plastic bag in his hand. It contained a bit of dark blue fiber, which must be physical evidence in a certain case.She noticed with satisfaction how the two of them suddenly became sluggish, and turned to the head of security, "When I heard the sound from outside, I guessed that someone entered the room through the window or balcony. Sherlock's residence is in On the 18th floor, it is impossible for people without certain professional skills to burglary from windows or balconies. It looks like they often do exterior wall cleaning.”

The security chief asked in amazement: "Then how did you know it was these two people?" He even couldn't help but put on the honorifics.

"Oh, it's even simpler, it's not worth mentioning. When our group was in Sherlock's residence, I looked at the windowsills and balconies, and found that a person had entered the house and was discreetly wearing a Gloves and shoe covers. And Sherlock's house can be said to be a trap every step of the way. When this man was rummaging for what he wanted, he accidentally let a bottle of concentrated nitric acid of Sherlock splash on the gloves, breaking a small The opening—so this is quite obvious. And the cleaning staff of the outer wall arrived here in pairs, presumably when they were working, so I boldly guessed that the thief must have an accomplice. And The thief with a torn glove has been very disturbed, looking at his companion from time to time, I guess his companion is the one who decides, and the things should be on his companion. But this fellow is right-handed, and his hand is still pinching his pants Seam—isn't that obvious enough? Obviously, there's what we're looking for in the right trouser pocket."

After Li Mingye finished speaking, a somewhat happy look appeared on his face.The former detective, who hadn't shown himself in front of ordinary people for a long time, giggled and squeezed the small plastic bag in his hand.

With sincere praise on his face, the Chief of Security stammered: "Oh my God, you are... you are simply a magician, just like magic!"

"Ah, thank you very much for your compliment, sir. But our top priority now is to send this group of thieves to Scotland Yard. I think these people can give some inspiration to the busy detective."

And Sherlock is in the Criminal Forensics Department at this time.He was wearing a dark purple shirt, which further accentuated the paleness of his face, making him almost lifeless.Not to mention that he was holding his breath to observe a skeleton carefully - he was almost face to face with the corpse, opened the mouth of the "corpse" with one hand, and the two faces were so close together that it was almost one Kiss gesture.

The young man's soft and beautiful chin line was almost motionless as he held his breath, which made Lestrade, who suddenly pushed the door and barged in, almost subconsciously thought that they were two corpses—no , a corpse and a marble statue.Lestrade shook his head and quickly put aside the thoughts in his mind.

Sherlock, who was disturbed, glanced at Lestrade, let go of his hands and stood up, and the indifference that only became more apparent with the paleness of his face became more obvious.He glanced over coldly: "Lestrade, I hope you get rid of those ridiculous thoughts in your mind as soon as possible, otherwise your chances of being promoted to Chief Inspector will be infinitely close to zero. In addition, I said that I You don’t need anyone’s help, and you don’t want to be disturbed! Since your forensic doctors are all idiots, don’t bother me when I use my method to check!”

Lestrade opened his mouth, fully aware of Sherlock's anger - he also heard rumors recently that Sherlock had a very bad relationship with the new forensic doctor Anderson who joined the Criminal Forensics Department.Anderson is a young man who is a little vain and likes to show off. He often has his own opinions, which should be encouraged in Lestrade's view. However, for Sherlock, these opinions are ridiculously naive. In front of him, he showed a very low IQ in his opinion.

So what can he do!Lestrade thought weakly, one is a genius with a high IQ who is not very good at being a man but a simple heart, and the other is a young man who has just joined Scotland Yard and has a high spirit... This splint is so angry that he is so wronged that he wants to hit someone.

And Sherlock didn't understand him at all, and turned around to get his scalpel.Seeing that Sherlock was about to get busy again, Lestrade quickly explained the reason for his visit: "Sherlock, there was a thief in your house, and it happened that your friend was here, and after catching the thief, he sent you here..."

"My friend?" Sherlock paused his hand, turned to look at Lestrade, "Shirley?"

"Oh...girlfriend?" Lestrade made a face of sudden realization, "Is it a girlfriend? Seriously, Sherlock, you are almost 23 years old, and you should have a girlfriend long ago. Last time I saw She...cough, you can tell when you are there, you must have a very close relationship with her..."

Sherlock glared at Lestrade inexplicably, took off his gloves, and put on the black coat and scarf hanging on the wall.He didn't answer Lestrade's remarks, which seemed to him to be nonsense. He just ordered as he walked out: "Put the corpse first, and don't let other people touch it! Even if ten people want to Beating up this corpse is not as damaging as Anderson's damage to the clues." He thought for a while, and there was a slight pause in his tone, "As for the girlfriend, it's even more nonsense. Last time I played her boyfriend The case requires, I heard people say that Chinese women are more concerned about reputation, so stop talking nonsense!"

Chinese women care about reputation...but you have lived together!Lestrade slandered, but realized in an instant, and was a little surprised: "My God, I actually heard the word 'fame' from Sherlock Holmes?"

"If your mother tongue is not good enough, you can consider returning to public school, Lestrade." Sherlock gave Lestrade a look.

Lestrade was not upset, and with a smile on his face, he said sincerely: "Honestly, Sherlock, I think you value Shirley differently from other people. You see, you are putting yourself in her shoes." Fame! When have you ever cared about this? The last time you played gay for a case, you never cared about other people's evaluation!"

"Of course Shirley is different from others, she is smart." Sherlock replied naturally.

...I can't take that.Lestrade was choked instantly.

Sherlock's meaning is obvious.In his opinion, Shirley, who is also extremely smart, deserves equal and respectful treatment from Sherlock Holmes, the king of the second class, so he will play Shirley's boyfriend, and even argue for her reputation.This is based on the respect given by Shirley's IQ and knowledge. There are only a few people like him in the world.

And Lestrade obviously didn't mean that!The poor Inspector lamented and slapped himself on the forehead, resolutely giving up the EQ that broke through the lower limit of the detective who saved him.The two walked all the way with their heads depressed, until they met Shirley Lee who had just finished taking notes outside the interrogation room.

Lestrade is actually very curious about Shirley Lee, the perfect goddess that Gleason said. The last time we met, Shirley wore the skin of 'Mojana', and she looked beautiful, delicate and charming. This is not at all the omniscience and omnipotence that Gleason's Shirley said.But as soon as they met each other this time, Lestrade immediately recognized Shirley's appearance from the people coming and going outside the interrogation room.

There were obviously people around, except for the police and some ordinary people who came to take notes, but Shirley just had the ability to stand out.This black-haired, black-eyed girl with soft and beautiful features is wearing a deep red cashmere long sweater that is very expensive at first glance, a black woolen trench coat is draped in the arms, her legs are crossed casually, brown boots and black stockings look very casual.But it's such a delicate and casual dress, but she can wear a shrewd and calm temperament on her body. The calm and intelligent breath makes her stand out from the crowd instantly.

For some reason, Lestrade felt that the girl in front of him had a similar aura to Sherlock, as if she had a sense of alienation from the world, making her seem a little out of place everywhere.Even though that kind of indifference and sobriety was concealed by that elegant posture, Lestrade had been with Sherlock for too long, and he could still notice it at a glance.

And when Sherlock walked forward quickly, and Shirley raised her head and greeted Sherlock with a smile, the auras of the two merged instantly.Lestrade could clearly feel that Sherlock had become real in an instant. If he had to describe it, the world was like water, and Sherlock and Shirley were two bubbles in the water that never disappeared. The two bubbles fuse together after touching each other.

So Lestrade immediately looked at it with ambiguous eyes, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt satisfied... For more than a year, he has worried too much about Sherlock, so that now he feels like looking at his daughter-in-law. That kind of gratification is simple!

But it's a pity that the pig at Scotland Yard hasn't learned how to hog cabbage yet.After Sherlock went up, the first sentence was: "Where is the thief?"

"One is the staff of Swick Cleaning Company responsible for cleaning the exterior walls, and the other is not, at least it should be regarded as a civilian of ordinary leadership."

"They stole a plastic bag with blue fiber, right?"

"Yes, I thought you might have some use for this thing, so I brought it."

"Very good! Shirley, you've done me a great favor. Lestrade, I'm going to interrogate them." Sherlock happily gave Shirley a quick hug—it's worth mentioning that it was a very sloppy hug. The man almost touched the shoulder and let go.He showed a very excited expression, and said happily: "At first there was nothing found in the corpse, but now there are clues delivered to the door. Today is almost Christmas!"

Li Mingye was very thoughtful and politely greeted Lestrade—even if it was the second time they met, she couldn't help but take another look at Lestrade's handsome face in this world, indeed. It's a little uncomfortable.She smiled at Lestrade and said, "Long time no see, Mr. Inspector."

Lestrade actually had a good impression of this gentle and beautiful lady. Even though he knew that Shirley was not a very easy-going person, the experienced inspector could sensitively feel the vague kindness of the other party, which made him rather Some are flattered.When he was about to speak, Sherlock interrupted him and quickly asked Shirley if she wanted to go to the interrogation with him.

Li Mingye nodded with a smile, and entered the interrogation room with Sherlock.Lestrade looked helplessly at the backs of the two men, and finally had no choice but to laugh at himself—bringing a girl who is tired of traveling directly into the interrogation room? ?It seems that he, a pig raised in Scotland Yard, will never learn how to bow cabbage in his life!

The case that was originally in trouble turned around after Li Mingye caught the two thieves by chance.

The chairman of Swick Cleaning Company was found dead at home the day before yesterday, and the safe in his home was missing. The investigation department is in charge.After forensic investigation, it was found that the cause of death of the chairman was intracranial hemorrhage caused by a heavy blow, and there were traces of a fractured larynx, but no murder weapon could be found, and no clues could be found through monitoring.The deceased had only one son, and he had always been idle and fond of causing trouble, so many people suspected that the son killed his father, but the suspect was on the other side of London when the deceased died. It was discovered by Sherlock, which also led to a stalemate in the case.

The difficulty of this case is that the place where the deceased died was in a villa in the wilderness. Although there are beautiful mountains and rivers and there are scattered rich villas nearby, there is really not much surveillance.In fact, Sherlock already had a suspect in his heart, that is, another director of the Swick Cleaning Company, which was relatively close to the deceased's residence, and he had always guessed that the murder weapon was the safe, but he didn't know where the safe was. Direct evidence can't be interrogated, which can kill people's anger.

There are powerful people involved, and Mr. Director's lawyer is sharp-tongued, and Scotland Yard is unwilling to cause trouble.Sherlock is not very afraid, but he has no choice but to have little direct evidence and insufficient indirect evidence, even if he has reasoning, he can't help it.

The murderer was a ruthless person. He threw the deceased into the new brand of exterior wall cleaner that the deceased placed in the villa. When the deceased was found, there were almost only skeletons left, and the time of death was not even good. infer.Moreover, the personal relationship between the chairman of Svek Company and this director can be said to be very good. No matter how much evidence such as DNA is on the scene, it will not help. The two people often share the hobby of tasting wine.

Sherlock salvaged the safe from the lake about three kilometers away from the villa (the ghost knows how he reasoned - Lestrade), and during the inspection process, he had an idea and claimed to find clues on the safe. It seems to be Mr. director's clothes hanging.The would-be criminal couldn't sit still after learning about it, and immediately sent his henchmen to handle the matter.The confidant handled the affairs neatly, and immediately bid for the property company where Sherlock's residence building was located, and contracted the cleaning of the exterior wall at a very low price...

Sherlock really didn't think about the cleaning of the outer wall at the time, he only told the security office, and left a little mechanism (viscous reagent) of him at the entrance.The main reason is that the place where he lives is well monitored and heavily guarded, coupled with his special instructions, he can always catch something.However, this confidant is really very witty, in order to ensure the success of the matter, he deliberately went around a big circle. If Sherlock suffers this loss, it may take another day or two to close the case.

However, my confidant is out of luck, and meets Li Mingye who happens to be in London for Christmas...

While Lestrade was talking to Li Mingye, he couldn't help but sympathize with this Mr. Director, who was so thoughtful.As he spoke, he couldn't help sighing: "Life is alive, the word 'luck'! If this matter drags on for a little longer, the criminal will run away. I arranged for the person who followed the suspect to report to me in the morning, saying that the suspect had The plan to steal (anti-harmony) crossing, but the incident happened suddenly and there was no time to make preparations."

Li Mingye comforted him: "I can guess something after listening to these things. Sherlock's reasoning is not a problem. Even without today's incident, it is estimated that there will be a result soon." She Talking and thinking, "Stupid methods also have the benefits of stupid methods! Kill people and soak them in strong acid, then soak everything with blood stains in acid and throw them away together with the safe. There is no monitoring nearby..."

"Yes, but the land nearby is owned by rich people. They refuse to install surveillance cameras. What can we do?" Lestrade sighed and complained to Li Mingye, "Just like this time, you said people It was just a bone frame that was delivered, and it was soaked soft. Who knows when he died! If Sherlock hadn't deduced the time of death based on the traces at the scene, we would not even be able to determine the suspect. It has been washed once with a strong acid cleaner."

Li Mingye sneered: "It's very easy, just extract the cleaning agent from the scene and do a few experiments to determine the oxidation time. It's just that the process is a bit cumbersome, and it's not as helpless as you said."

Lestrade looked up at the sky again and sighed: "It's just people like you who can do such a thing. I can't even understand it." They may not be able to solve the case, but it is certainly impossible to go straight to the ground like this, and it is impossible to say how long it will take.This kind of case is a big deal to use the most stupid method to carefully screen all the people who had a relationship with the deceased, and then interrogate them one by one, and then monitor and observe one by one... At least it is impossible to be like this, but within two days, everything came to light.

Just when Lestrade was feeling emotional, Sherlock had already finished interrogating everything. How could Mr. Confidant stand up to the interrogation method like Sherlock who shakes all his privacy while analyzing emotion by micro-expression, All admitted in less than half an hour.Sherlock looked back triumphantly, and found Shirley and Lestrade sitting next to them chatting, for some reason, he felt a little subtle.

Although Lestrade is in his 30s, he is still very handsome and tough, and looks very personable.But this is not what Sherlock is concerned about. He just found that Shirley has a vague sense of tolerance for Lestrade, which makes her different from usual. She also has more patience and less indifference in her speech. courtesy.

He was a little puzzled, and there was a sense of scrutiny in his eyes.Li Mingye naturally saw it, but she didn't say anything, and turned to Sherlock: "It seems that the matter has been resolved, dear Sherlock, at this moment I hope to have a good meal, Then a trip to the security of the building to retrieve my luggage and a peaceful night in a warm bed."

Sherlock glanced at Lestrade, looked at her for a while, and then said slowly, "As you wish, Shirley."

The author has something to say:

Thanks to VI-Lost Mines

I will write the case tomorrow, I am a dog!

Take a closer look and already have 10W words

Why, if someone writes 10 words, they might have children

I don't even have a two-way crush here...

Please forgive me if there are loopholes in the case. The author is a liberal arts student who doesn't know anything about chemistry. Only Baidu can write such a thing

Fu's extra tolerance to Lestrade in the original book has an empathy effect of seeing acquaintances, just like Fu's treatment of Gleason in the original book

Although Sherlock Holmes in the original book is not a particularly easy-going person, the original book Fu in this article is already an old man, and his mentality is much calmer, and from the several cases of Sherlock Holmes in the original book after retirement, it can be seen that the original book Fu's temper has gradually changed. The age is also gradually changing, and it is getting better and better to deal with
