[Comprehensive] The Great Devil

Even though Sherlock Holmes found out the suspicious points of this murder case at a speed that was difficult for ordinary people and succeeded in getting Sierra Jones out of the suspicion temporarily, it was already a step late when they arrived at C&P Company——

One of the five people who participated in the high-altitude cleaning company of the Ritz Hotel disappeared the next day for no reason. When they got the other party's information and broke into the house, they only found a dead body.

"The time of death was not more than half an hour. The blood has not completely solidified. There are no other wounds except this one." Sherlock Holmes squatted beside the corpse, looking down at the deceased: obviously he was attacked by surprise. According to his speculation, The deceased was sitting on the sofa drinking beer and watching a soap opera when someone slipped in from the unlocked window, walked behind his sofa, and stabbed him in the chest from the top of the head, quickly and accurately.Judging from the depth of the wound, the strength of the murderer is inferior to that of men but more than half that of women, and this same technique illustrates a problem.

"She also came here, killed the only person who probably knew something about her true face, and left here less than half an hour ago." Sherlock Holmes walked towards the window, touched it with his fingers, and his voice was very calm and clear , "Obviously the deceased was a person who didn't have a high quality of life. The dust accumulated in the house, the trash cans were full, the takeaway boxes and discounted food. The memory was very bad, and he often forgot to lock the doors and windows. The monthly salary was just enough for him to spend on food and Huge spending on beer. He rarely cleaned the room, so the dust in the window tells us that the murderer entered from here, and the hem of the clothes just happened to catch on the rusty nails leaving clues, cheap polyester wedding room fabric, from the fiber It looks like a common Welsh plaid in terms of shape, and I guess it’s a lady’s long coat with a common style and can be bought everywhere, which undoubtedly makes it more difficult to solve the case—”

When he said this, he suddenly paused, "And why did she kill him? The reason is very simple - she bribed this ignorant person and pretended to be him to work at heights, and he is probably the only one who has seen her true face , and she had to erase all the evidence before us—expected isn't it? But there's one more key point—"

He turned around and murmured, "It is difficult for someone without professional training to perform precise operations on the 16th floor, let alone open the window to enter the hotel room safely. She must have relevant experience, which makes me think Think, I must think of this at once—maybe it has something to do with the profession—”

She is similar in height and shape to Jones, but her face is ordinary. In daily life, almost no one pays attention to her. There will be intermittent field work, otherwise it is difficult to explain why the other party can climb high altitudes so skillfully, but the rest of the time stays at home like this. Only then will there be enough space and energy to watch, search and even track Sierra Jones' materials.He is taciturn and not good at socializing, so he minimizes his presence in the crowd. He has certain medical knowledge but lacks practical experience. He is very smart, except that the first stroke is slightly rusty, the second knife, and even the third on this man. Knives can be fatal in one blow without dragging their feet.

But the doubts became clearer in this way—if it was true, as previously thought, that the murderer was trying to frame Sierra Jones, she shouldn't have killed the man at all, and it was convenient to give Sera an alibi.Or after killing the male actor, she discovered a new pleasure, a more exciting, more exciting, and more difficult game than chasing idols?

A born criminal, only the first time left a few clues due to inexperience, the second murder she carried out almost flawlessly - no extra blood, hair and footprints, can't go through these details to carry out more profile.Except for a trace of fiber.

But enough was enough for now—enough to prove that Serra Jones was innocent, that she had been framed, that she could leave Scotland Yard and be free for the time being.

But her reputation is doomed to never recover.

Fortunately, she doesn't care too much about that.

Sera watched Sherlock walking around like a hunting dog, sticking out his nose and sniffing from time to time, concentrating on his own observation and thinking, as if no one could enter his thinking palace.He occasionally made some strange movements, such as waving his hands in the air, closing his eyes and frowning and shaking his head, as if he was vetoing something.Until later he sat motionless on the sofa opposite the deceased, until the police arrived here to seal the scene and began to disperse irrelevant people, until Serra was politely asked to leave the door and was about to leave here——

"Have you ever tried to climb a high mountain with your bare hands, Sherlock Holmes?" She said suddenly, "It's like dancing ballet on a tightrope on a cliff, full of skill, dangerous and wonderful artistic sense, with an abyss underneath, Among the clouds, air currents and rocks, excitement, fear, trembling, and conquest... There is no way to retreat, only to go forward, upward, there is only one goal above your head, there is no other choice, you can only climb upward, because once you are afraid Stay where you are, the only thing waiting for you is a tragic fall—”

"The interesting thing is that falling doesn't kill people, people fall to death."

So some people can only keep climbing up all their lives, because they are afraid of falling to the ground and dying.

After finishing speaking, she walked out without hesitation, and let the police find a taxi for her. Accompanied by a female police officer, she took a last look at the house where people were coming and going, turned her head, and the glass lathe slowly Shake it up and sail into the distance.

Sherlock Holmes sat motionless on the sofa, and no one could disturb him.Until Lestrade also came here, he was used to this scene, couldn't help sighing, and complained to the policeman who glanced at him from time to time, "It's the mind palace again...you know what I've been doing all the time. I suspect that he may have brought his own barrage since he was born, otherwise how can he explain so many unreasonable behaviors—"

"Climb!" Sherlock Holmes suddenly yelled, startling everyone, and he jumped up excitedly from the sofa, and hurriedly walked outside with a frenzied light in his eyes, muttering as he walked, "She's right, smart people...a rare breed, viper-like sharpness and reflexes...yes! That's the answer—"

"What answer?!" Lestrade asked desperately, knowing that he couldn't keep him.

"Climb!" Sherlock replied loudly.

Lestrade: "What?! What climbing?!"

"Climbing instructor!" he said.

……

……

It was already 1 o'clock in the evening when Sera returned to the apartment where she lived most often under her name. There were only sporadic lights on in the city, and the night sky was completely silent, a quietness that calmed the soul.

She didn't turn on the light, and sat in the darkness facing the floor-to-ceiling windows, thinking for a long time, until the clock on the wall slowly turned to the next mark, then she raised her phone and called out a not-so-unfamiliar number with a familiar name written on it: Adam Walker.Her life mentor, now a well-known literary film director, is also one of the collaborators of this new film.

Sierra is pondering a serious question: After all the family money she has earned in the past adds up, will it be enough to pay liquidated damages for this movie? ——It's not that she is afraid that this murder scandal will damage her reputation, but that the movies starring Sierra Jones over the years are really too realistic.To be more precise, they are almost impeccable in terms of innovation, artistic conception, shooting techniques, lens use, etc., but the script is too boring, the plot is obscure and difficult to understand, and it is difficult to produce a burst of adrenaline from the beginning to the end. Typical award-winning film.And she has received enough scripts like this, she doesn't want to continue on the same path, and let her screen image be fixed in a certain pattern.She needs something new.

Although this is likely to be a battle of Waterloo in her acting career, life needs a turning point and new fun, doesn't it?Since it was a laid-back and fun vacation time, what did she have to worry about?

She felt sorry for the 26 years that had passed so plainly.

Sierra lowered her head, and the screen of the mobile phone illuminated her eyes, reflecting a faint light.Her finger was scratching thoughtfully on the line of "Adam Walker", and she was about to make up her mind to press down and terminate this boring cooperation.But it might as well be connected to the mobile phone first, and the number displayed is anonymous, coming from an unknown area.

Who would happen to be calling on her personal phone at this hour?Her agent couldn't be stupid enough to make such a joke, and she really didn't have many acquaintances in the circle. Could it be an insurance or some company's sales call?Should she take it?

Sera thought for a moment, considering that no smart salesman would choose to sell her products at 2 o'clock in the morning, so she still pressed the answer button, put the phone to her ear, and said softly, "Hello? "

"Hi, nice to meet you, Miss Sierra Jones." A sweet female voice came from over there, "Since your agent is busy with other important matters right now, I can only take the liberty to contact you privately. I think you should have just left Sherlock Holmes at this time, so you won’t fall asleep so soon, right? ——Oh yes, I forgot to introduce myself—”

"I've seen all your movies, I admire you, I mean all of them... My boss wants to invite you to make a new movie, different from your previous movies... Would you be interested To be our number one, Miss Jones?"

Sierra paused.

……

……

In the past few days, the sales of British gossip newspapers have soared, and the "big case" that shocked the media and entertainment circles is almost talked about on the streets——

It starts with Sierra Jones becoming the prime suspect in a hotel backroom murder.But soon the well-known information detective Sherlock Holmes cleared her of the suspicion and re-targeted a supposed climbing instructor.According to reliable insiders, the detectives have not caught the murderer who resigned and fled so far, but they do have a lot of personal information about the other party, but it is not convenient to disclose it to the media.It was only a matter of time before she was caught.

This incident undoubtedly made Sierra Jones, an already famous British actress, popular again.But before the matter completely subsided, another turmoil once again swept the headlines of various newspapers-Sierra Jones unilaterally terminated the cooperation with Adam Walker, and was willing to pay a huge liquidated damages to launch a film that had already been filmed one-third of the time.And when this news came out, it undoubtedly announced the end of the deep friendship with her Bole, offended this talented and popular director, and her future path will become very difficult.

Everyone didn't understand the significance of her move - it was an extremely stupid choice from all aspects.Regardless of her appearance, skills, and temperament, she is very suitable for taking the road of literary and artistic films. Although the box office is hard to match the commercial action blockbusters of the same quarter, and she will be nailed to the fixed label of "Goddess of Literature and Art", which is difficult to get rid of, but She will also become a milestone screen character in niche movies.Although she has a very good movie appeal and a good reputation, her character is doomed that she cannot perform roles other than "genius" and "autistic patient". She is destroying the Great Wall!

All those who thought Serra Jones would never recover sighed and shook their heads, mourning the loss of a potential acting school.

But soon, another new piece of news caused waves in the entertainment industry again.

After personally taking off the crown of "Goddess of Literature and Art", Sierra Jones made an amazing decision: she took over the script written by a little-known screenwriter, about modern suspense and solving crimes, which will be filmed for TV Each episode of the series has its own complete plot.She will play different roles in each episode, some are a shrewd and capable policewoman, some are a clever murderer, or a narrator with a unique perspective.An hour-and-a-half episode covers a lot of elements, even some sci-fi and supernatural stuff.

The official claims that the screenwriters of this series of TV dramas have been preparing for five years. There will hardly be any logical and emotional bugs. There are no absolute protagonists and supporting roles. Everyone who appears, including passers-by, may be the last one. murderer.This TV series named "Unfinished Story" will release a new poster every episode, which hides a lot of information. In the latest picture, the woman played by Serra Jones is dressed in a formula and capable, Walking alone on the dark street in the drizzle, she faced the camera with one hand holding the phone and seemed to be saying something, with the other hand behind her back.It seems to be just a very ordinary and casual picture of life, but someone discovered a few unusual details——

For example, normal people don’t put their more dominant right hand behind their backs when they walk. Is there something hidden there? Her clothes clearly belong to the class of the urban elite. Why doesn’t she open an umbrella in such weather? Her mobile phone is placed next to her ear. I can vaguely see the call time on the screen: 3 hours, 16 minutes and 29 seconds, what kind of conversation can last for such a long time; and although her walking posture is casual and natural, her eyes are slightly tilted to the upper left, as if there is someone there Something caught her attention, but there was a smile hidden in the corner of her mouth, but there seemed to be fear in her eyes...

Just a single poster can lead to a lot of outside speculation, coupled with the free publicity of previous scandals and liquidated damages, there is no doubt that this drama will become one of the most anticipated serials in the second half of the year.

Every day, officials slyly release a bit of behind-the-scenes footage on social media, sometimes a still photo, sometimes a short video of an actor.Judging from the details revealed in the tidbits, although no one has ever heard the name of the screenwriter "JIM" before, the content is undoubtedly worthy of the audience's expectations.

At 0 o'clock on Friday night, the BBC is the time for the premiere of the TV series "Unfinished Stories". Many fans of Sierra Jones, passers-by fans who pay attention to the news, black fans who are always paying attention to the dynamics, and film critics are sitting at home on time , waiting for the moment when the pointer goes to [-].

Finally, the cello's melodious and melodious sonata sounded on the TV, and the picture of the opening song was pieced together from many old and yellowed newspapers.And when the protagonist played by Serra Jones appeared in the middle of the newspaper photo, when everyone was excited to observe all the hidden details in it... In the dim room of the apartment at 221B Baker Street, there was only a TV There was light in the inside, which was playing the most anticipated TV series in the second half of the year in the UK.Suddenly, the phone beside him turned on.

In the darkness, a pair of hands silently picked up the phone and glanced at it, it was a text message.

"What does 'me' look like?

from unknown name"

He looked at it for a second, but instead of replying to the text message, he turned off the light on the screen and put the phone aside.

But within a few seconds, the phone turned on again, and it was another text message from the same person, and dozens of text messages had accumulated in the past few days.

"I gave you clues, Mr. Holmes, and to be fair, I ask you to answer my questions.

from unknown name"

The people in the apartment paused, thought for a while, and finally replied to this message full of threatening signals.

"You look like a ready murderer."

Then quickly pressed the send button.

……

In the apartment on the other side of central London, melodious music was playing on the TV. Sierra looked down at the lit screen, and when she saw the content of the only text message from "SH", she paused, then bent over Out of the corners of his eyes, he smiled slightly.

Soon, we will meet again, Sherlock Holmes - in a completely different capacity.

The author has something to say: ah, the main line finally appeared, Sahua~

What does it mean that the case is still open?

Juanjuan will have a day to take the initiative to find the former suspect hahahaha
