[Zhongyingmei] The last string

"Viola..." Hotch called out to Viola who turned around and was about to leave.

The female detective turned her head, blinked and looked over, with some doubts in her eyes.

Hotch glanced at Sherlock not far away.The consulting detectives have already started searching for information in the police station on their own, not paying attention to their side at all.

"I..." He didn't know how to speak, but he just had the usual poker face, but his mind was blank.

Looking at his appearance, Viola couldn't help laughing in the next second.

Hotch was bewildered by her reaction.

"My dear Aaron," she clenched her hand into a fist and pressed it lightly to her mouth to cover her smile, "you don't really believe Sherlock's nonsense, do you?"

Although she had only been a neighbor upstairs and downstairs with the consulting detective for a year, it was enough for Viola to get acquainted with Sherlock's half-spoken character.

I've said it all, whether you understand it or not is up to you.

Coupled with the never-ending sarcasm, this makes people even more cranky or confused.

"He still hasn't said a word," she smiled, "that is, I will never do that kind of thing to embarrass you."

Since Sherlock could see that Hotch valued him, he could also see that she had the same affection for him.

Coupled with his understanding of Viola's character, that kind of assumption basically does not exist.

As for why she asked that, Viola didn't think she could see through that person.

"Don't pay too much attention to what he said," Viola felt something was wrong after saying this, and immediately corrected, "but it doesn't include the time when he helped us solve the case."

It's still the same reason, putting aside what usually happens, Sherlock's ability to solve crimes is first-rate.

Hotch felt that he was indeed a little nervous, so he gave a small smile and nodded.

Viola's cell phone rang suddenly, and she took it out to see that it was a landline phone she didn't recognize.

When I picked it up, it turned out to be a call from Watson.

Hearing the familiar and gentle voice of the military doctor, she felt certain that someone was finally in charge of consulting the detective.

Although, it won't help much, but it's better than leaving Sherlock here alone.

She hung up the phone and wanted to tell the detective that Watson was coming, but she didn't expect that the man had disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Feeling helpless, Viola quickly grabbed a police officer and asked where Sherlock had gone.

"You mean the man just now?"

"It seems that he hurried away after hearing that the body was still at the forensic doctor."

It's okay, just went to see the forensic doctor.She was half-relieved, and silently prayed for the medical examiner that he would not be intimidated by the detective.

Leaving Sherlock alone for the time being brought Viola's mind back to the case as well.

"Those two knew each other immediately," she said to Hotch in front of her. "Why don't they admit it?"

"Call Garcia and ask her to find out what the connection between the two is," Hotch said immediately.

This is indeed what they missed. They patronized to find Teresa and Antonia's relationship, but never thought of starting with their parents.

Although it is not yet certain whether it is related to this case, it is also a clue.

"What can I do for you, lovely and beautiful lady?" Garcia's cheerful voice came from the phone as always.

"Garcia, I need you to find out what is the relationship between Macy·Gallup and Amy·Hutt." Amy·Hutt is Mrs. Hutt.

"Understood! Give me some time!"

It didn't take long for Garcia to find something.

"Wow, this is really interesting," she seemed a little surprised, "Macy Gallup and Amy Hutt really should know each other."

"At first, I looked up the names of these two people, of course there was no connection, and then I looked up using Mrs Hutt's last name before marriage."

"Guess what happened, the two of them were classmates in college."

"Of course, I can't find this and let it go, and then I discovered something even more surprising."

"...Please don't tell me that Stern Hutt is also in the same class as them." Viola stroked her forehead, feeling that she might be right.

"Bingo! As expected of my sweetheart, the response is really fast." Garcia praised without hesitation.

It seems that tomorrow we have to call these three people together and ask them.

*****

The Hutts and Macy sat across from Viola and **, all of them looked a little embarrassed.

Even though it was a short sofa, the Hutts and Macy still had a large distance between them.

"The reason why I called you here is to ask you some things," ** said first, with a soft voice, "If you can, please cooperate with us?"

The three people in front of them all nodded stiffly.

"Yesterday, Mrs. Hutt and Mrs. Gallup both said they didn't know each other." Viola said while putting the two documents on the table.

"However, the two of you are actually classmates in college."

"May I ask why you two lied about this matter?"

As soon as these words were said, Amy was still able to hold back the expression on her face. Macy's face turned pale immediately. She bit her lip and couldn't help but clenched her hands together, looking extremely nervous.

"And Mr. Hutt." Viola didn't continue to question the two, but turned to Stern who was sitting aside, "You are also in their class, aren't you?"

Now, the three people in front of them all began to fidget.

Amy spoke first, trying to keep her composure: "What do you mean, interrogating us?"

"No, Mrs. Hutt," ** shook her head, "how could we mean that?"

Viola immediately continued: "We just want to find the prisoner, and you don't want your daughter to die in peace, do you?"

Amy froze, she didn't know how to answer this matter, she could only lower her head and not look at the two detectives in front of her.

Viola frowned slightly, and pointed the finger at Macy who was aside.

She looked really shaken, something started to spin in her eye sockets, but she still didn't say a word.

"Sir and Madam, we can't solve the case without your help." ** said very pleadingly, hoping that they could speak instead of saying nothing like they are now.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Macy burst into tears, stood up from the sofa, picked up her bag and left the lounge.

"Wait...!" Viola immediately got up and chased him out.

** and the Hutt couple looked at each other, without any wavering on her face, and began to persuade the couple in front of her again.

And Viola has chased Macy to the street in a blink of an eye.

After several days of exhaustion, the middle-aged woman didn't have the energy to run very far. After running for a while, she had to stop and pant for breath.

Viola ran to her side, panted a few times, and straightened up.

"Mrs. Gallup, calm down," she asked softly. "We won't force you."

The spirit of the middle-aged woman has completely collapsed, and the pain and sorrow intertwined with the huge guilt in her heart have just made her unable to maintain her normal life.

"It's all my fault, it's my fault, it's because of me..." She kept muttering.

"Ma'am? Ma'am, calm down." Viola supported Macy who was tottering, her voice became softer.

Macy felt dizzy, and in the next second her eyes went dark, and she completely lost consciousness.

"Mrs. Gallup? Macy?!"

*****

Ever since Watson brought Sherlock back to the hotel yesterday, the detective has gone mad again.

I didn't sleep at all at night, sitting on the sofa chair in the room, curled up with my hands folded, and began to think about problems.

Well, it seems that even if the location is changed, the posture will not change.

To be honest, yesterday he heard Viola say that Sherlock almost broke out in a cold sweat when he was in the police station.

He thought Sherlock had done something wrong.

After all, this possibility is not impossible.

Fortunately, he was just thinking too much.

He didn't expect to have to deal with the case when he came to America, well, nothing is impossible with Sherlock.

He really just wanted to have a good time attending his friend's wedding and travel.

Rather than wanting to be like this now, suddenly awakened by Sherlock's shouting early in the morning.

Watson wondered for a moment that he was still at 221B Baker Street.

"Get up, John," Sherlock urged, "let's go to the police."

"OK! OK! Don't pull me!" he roared, "Wait until I finish getting dressed!"

Watson hurriedly put on his clothes, and walked towards Sherlock who had been pacing up and down the door of the room for countless times.

The two took a taxi and quickly arrived at the police station. Sherlock quickly walked into the police station and looked around.

He saw several BAU agents gathered not far away, and Viola had introduced each other to them yesterday.

"I see." That's what Sherlock said up front, causing everyone in BAU to turn their heads to look at him.

"It's about revenge, and someone wants revenge on Amy Hutt and Macy Gallup," he said fast, "by killing their children and making them miserable."

"The two of them must have done something before. If there are other participants, then the next victims will be the children of those people."

This matter came to him suddenly this morning.

Two people who clearly know each other do not admit that they know each other. There are two reasons for this kind of situation. Bad things end up being unpleasant, and it's inevitable that we don't want to recognize each other when we meet again.

The first case can be ruled out after Sherlock pointed out yesterday that the two were lying.

It's not a big deal because it's not a big deal to say something that has a holiday, so the two of them won't be struggling all the time.

Well, it's the second type.

Coupled with Amy Hutt's extremely fierce attitude, it is even more confirmed that this lady doesn't want others to know something about the past.

So, is it just that you don't want others to know?Does this something that you don't want to know have anything to do with this case?

He hadn't connected the two together last night.

In order to get more information, he communicated with the police in the police station and went to the forensic doctor.

What annoyed him was that this criminal really didn't show any flaws, he was a thoughtful person.

But he is so proud that he never bows his head.

These few clues will suffice.

Amy Hutt traveled to England half a year after her daughter died, but it took four full days to return to Philadelphia after being notified by the police.

What was holding her back, what was more important than her daughter's death?

What is it, what is it?

Yes, yes, what is more important than dead children?It's a living child.

her son.

Then why did her son have to stay in England?

Why don't you come back with your son?

Or, why the sudden move away from Philadelphia?

Philadelphia can't live, why can't it?

...Who are they going to hide from, in order to protect their son.

They knew who wanted to kill them, but they couldn't tell the police because of what happened back then.

This is a well-planned revenge.

Sherlock stared at the FBI agents in front of him with piercing eyes, as if if the group of people uttered a rebuttal in the next second, he could taunt him.

"Mr. Holmes, thank you very much," Hotch said with the same expression and steady tone, "We already know about this matter."

Eh?
