[Comprehensive Anglo-American] A genius report on love

Chapter 8 The joy of working with Sherlock

This time Mia and Sherlock were taken to an inconspicuous old building on the edge of the city

Entering the main entrance is just an ordinary dwelling, a two-storey small building with living room, bedroom, study and so on.

The basement was transformed into a laboratory.

Mia unceremoniously chose a bedroom at the top of the second floor to put down her luggage, then she roughly toured around the house, including the kitchen and garden, and finally came to the basement.

There are all kinds of advanced instruments, as well as various chemicals and materials in the room. After checking them one by one, Mia still made a list of missing items, which even included a whole set of brand new top luxury brand Burberry beds Supplies, pure natural handmade custom-made toiletries without additives, the freshest fruits and vegetables and various delicacies delivered by air every day, of course, the indispensable red and white wine of the best year, and the indispensable pure Jamaican in the work Freshly ground Blue Mountain coffee.

At this time, Mycroft was carrying a miniature safe into the laboratory, and after reading Mia's list, he also revealed a moment of disbelief.

"Miss Mia, please allow me to remind you that the auction is less than five days away, I am not inviting you here for vacation."

"A comfortable living environment is the beginning of a good job. I have high requirements for sleep. If my fake 'Paris Night' is flawed due to poor rest, I will not be responsible."

"Okay!" Mycroft spread his hands to express his helplessness, and signaled his subordinates to do as required.

Sherlock has been fiddling with the instruments all the time, not caring about these trivialities.

At this time, Mia noticed the safe in McCoff's hand, with unconcealable excitement and joy in her eyes, "Is it it?"

Mycroft put the safe on the table and pressed the fingerprint password.

"It's so beautiful!"

The light in the laboratory is sufficient, and the "Paris Night" under the light refraction shows its most perfect posture, as if countless dazzling stars are included in this small transparent glass body, dazzling and dazzling. asphyxia.

The original stone of "Nights in Paris" was originally [-] carats, and the most perfect part of the [-] carats was left under the most advanced grinding and cutting techniques. It was cut into a heart shape, plus the most romantic Pure pink.

Even Mia couldn't help feeling a girlish heart.

Mycroft pointed to the gloves on the table and made a gesture of please.

Mia immediately put on the gloves and took the diamond out of the black velvet cushion. It was hard to imagine how many women could be driven crazy by such a small diamond.

"If it's inlaid as a necklace, it should be very suitable for you." Mycroft suddenly complimented.

"I'm afraid my neck won't be able to bear its weight." Mia didn't look up, but just responded casually, and then she picked up the magnifying glass and began to carefully observe every detail of the diamond.

Sherlock also came over at this time. He has never been interested in such flashy things as jewelry. He just stood aside and looked at it for a few moments before opening his mouth. Mia stretched out a finger to silence pose.

"I know what you are going to say. In your eyes, it is nothing more than a special combination of carbon elements. But now, please be quiet for a while and don't disturb my work."

This was the first time that Sherlock was stopped from speaking by others, and he was a little depressed, and beside him was a smile of great interest on Mycroft's face.

It seems that he didn't pick the wrong person, and only this woman will not lose in every confrontation with Sherlock.

He handed another folder half as thick as a dictionary to Sherlock, "This is the known information of the deceased who bought or owned 'Nights in Paris' and the investigation files of the police station at that time and Autopsy report. I must remind you that the first case dates back to the 60s of the last century, and the forensic identification technology was not so perfect at that time, so..."

"Hush!" Sherlock was already immersed in digesting and thinking about the case information at this time, "Mycroft, you can stop talking nonsense and get out of here."

"Okay." Mycroft didn't intend to stay with these two lunatics who had already entered the working state, "The things you need will be delivered before this afternoon, and the auction will be held at two o'clock in the afternoon five days later." At the latest, we must deliver the prepared fakes on time before 12 noon. If you need anything, please feel free to contact me.”

"..."

Sherlock and Mia were busy with their own business, and no one had time to talk to Mycroft, and no one even cared or knew when he left the room.

It was not until a long time later that Mia slowly uttered a word secretly marked inside the diamond, "n—a—r—c—i—s—o, narciso."

*******************************************************************************

"Narciso, is that the name of the owner who once owned this diamond?" Mia raised her head and asked in Sherlock's direction.

Sherlock's mind flashed through all the information just now, the name of the deceased, family members, lover, friends...

"At least in the information provided by McCoff, there is no person related to this name."

"It seems to be one of the hidden clues?" Mia took out a pen and paper, and carefully traced the shapes of the English letters, so as to leave exactly the same traces in the fake.

Sherlock finally came over and took the diamond and magnifying glass from Mia.

"Can you see how long this word has been written in it?"

"I'm afraid it's been around since it was called 'Paris by Night'."

Mia started to prepare to make a mold for this diamond.

Prior to this, among the materials prepared in advance by Mycroft, there was already a synthetic diamond similar in shape and size to "Night in Paris".

Synthesizing a man-made diamond of this size would take a long time, and Mia was unwilling to have the time to do such preliminary preparations, and this was not her business scope.

All Mia has to do is to make a model of the diamond, and then cut, polish, and polish the synthetics provided by Mycroft according to the model.

Of course the last and most important step is to color it.

Synthetic diamond crystals are colorless and transparent, and the key technology for counterfeiting is to infuse them with pink and not be detected by the naked eye.

Mia spent the afternoon making a glass version of "Paris by Night", which is actually very similar to the original.

"Sherlock." She suddenly yelled at Sherlock who was immersed in the case information, "How about playing a guessing game during the break?"

Mia spread out her palms, and there were two identical pink diamonds on the left and right.

Sherlock just glanced up and looked away again, "If you don't have confidence in yourself, you can do a few more exercises. If you really have nothing to do, you can go out for a stroll. I don't want to spend time on these boring games. .”

"You just stand there, you are not allowed to come over, I will give you ten seconds, if you guess correctly, I will cook dinner myself tonight. Compared with those unappetizing takeaway and fast food products, is this prize enough?"

Sherlock secretly analyzed the feasibility of participating in the other party's proposal. Those simple instant microwave foods are really hard to swallow. Although he is not a very picky and demanding person for food, he may not even be able to eat in this remote area. It's hard to find a decent diner, let alone a decent dinner.

And if you frequently enter and leave this house, it should arouse suspicion from others.

There were a lot of fresh and expensive ingredients in the list of items that this woman asked Mycroft to prepare. It seemed that she should know how to cook, so it was worth a try.

Sherlock finally raised his head again and looked at Mia, "Let's get started!"

Mia threw the two diamonds in her hand into the air at the same time, and her hands also drew a beautiful arc under the dazzling light, then held them again, and spread them out to Sherlock, "Please, detective. "

"Left hand." Sherlock said the answer almost without thinking.

"Well, you really admire me." Mia put the "Nights in Paris" in her left hand back into the safe and locked it. "How do you see the difference between them?"

"Guess." Sherlock replied bluntly.

Mia: "..." May I hit you, Mr. Sherlock Holmes!

"Well, in fact, your eyes and movements betrayed you." Sherlock noticed Mia's displeased eyes and explained, "When you held the two diamonds again, you inadvertently looked at them more. Take a look at the right hand, and I noticed that when you caught them in the air, you subconsciously caught the one on the right hand first. Most people may think that it is a real diamond so you are careful, but in fact it is because the glass is not hard enough, and you are afraid They get scratched when they touch, so take extra care of it."

"Sherlock, how many people have told you that the way you speak makes people want to beat you up."

"I don't remember these meaningless data."

Isn't it because there are too many, so it is impossible to count?

"Forget it, it's pointless to argue with people like you." Mia took off her overalls and walked towards the door, "I'd like to admit defeat, I'll go to the kitchen to see that your great brother from the British government has sent us What's delicious."
