Looking at the scene in front of her, Anna deeply felt whether she had clashed with the Sherlock Holmes family today.

The Libis Park in front of me is covered with yellow warning strips, many police cars are parked on the street, and many people with the gang marked "Scotland Yard" are walking around.And his neighbor, Mr. Sherlock Holmes, was yelling at a slightly obese middle-aged man belonging to Scotland Yard with the ID of Mike Aaron: "Look at the posture of the dead, don't you understand! The murderer It is absolutely impossible to be the cleaner who was caught innocently by you, I suggest that you seal off the park as soon as possible, or you will be in trouble if you want to arrest the criminal again after he has escaped!"

Mike was obviously very impatient with Sherlock, and the two mustaches under his nose were raised up: "Sherlock, I said that this case has nothing to do with you! It is our police's job to solve the case and arrest the suspect." Things! Now, shut your mouth and drive home and do your own thing!"

"Then watching you finally finish the investigation, realize that you have arrested the wrong person, and think back to re-capture the criminal, but the criminal has already escaped, laughing at Scotland Yard while drinking in some unknown small bar, especially you, Mike Inspector's stupidity!" Sherlock was always very good at taunting.

"Don't let this freak come in!" Mike explained to the police officer with the ID "Lestrade" next to him, gave Sherlock a hard look, then turned and left angrily.

"Sherlock." Lestrade gave him a helpless look: "As I said, don't provoke him. If you want to go in, just keep your mouth shut. Although I called you, this case It is Mike who is in charge and you cannot participate without his permission."

He had seen Sherlock's ingenuity in the case of the old woman in the sauna before, and he absolutely believed in Sherlock's judgment in this case, but Sherlock's mouth was really tolerated by most people.

"Besides, the case has happened for so long. According to the time, if the cleaner was not a criminal, the real criminal would have gone away long ago." Lestrade added.

"Oh, no, no." Sherlock shook his head and began to walk back and forth slightly: "The criminal is definitely still at the scene. He dared to kill someone in a park with a lot of traffic, and judging from the posture and method of death of the deceased just now , no matter what the criminal kills for, one of the most important reasons is to show off. He is quite confident in himself and takes pleasure in fooling the police. With such a motive, how could he not stay and appreciate what he fooled? Police scandal. Ha, and apparently, he's on his way, isn't he? Goldfish are smarter than Scotland Yard!"

"To some extent, it's thanks to Mr. Sherlock's quick talk, isn't it?" A brisk female voice came from behind, and Sherlock looked back to see that Anna Potter, the owner of the coffee shop with a mystery, was standing with her child in her arms. own back.

Sherlock took a few steps towards Anna, looked her up and down, and said, "Have you seen my brother?"

"Is it obvious?"

"No, but it's obvious to me." Sherlock began to explain: "You and I went out at almost the same time, but we came to the park so far apart, and you went out with a pram Yes, but now it’s gone, it can only mean that you were invited to some place you didn’t expect at the beginning.”

Then he pointed to Anna's shoes: "Your shoes have some mud on the soles of your feet. Obviously this is the mud in the suburbs. You went to the suburbs. Who would suddenly invite an unaccompanied person who came to the UK alone not long ago?" Someone went to the suburbs as a guest during the walk? Combined with some other information, it is only my brother who is very controlling."

Sherlock suddenly approached Anna and took a sniff: "Seriously, he really should eat less sweets."

Anna smiled: "I think so too. Thanks to you for reminding me, I have to ask your brother for an extra money for a baby carriage, after all, that baby carriage is very precious."

"It seems that my brother also promised to pay you a reward. Do you mind sharing it equally? Miss Anna, after all, your goods are my information." Sherlock asked.

Anna looked at Sherlock, like a kind mother looking at an innocent son: "What are you talking about? Of course everything in my bag is mine."

"Okay." Sherlock shrugged: "It seems that the plan to make a fortune for nothing is shattered."

"It seems that you have encountered some trouble?" Anna glanced at Lestrade.

"Oh, you know." Sherlock clasped his hands in front of his chest and swayed his body in a slight arc. "It's not easy to talk to the police."

"It seems that I can help. As long as you can use your reasoning less on me in the future." Anna smiled.

"I don't see any relationship between Miss Anna and Scotland Yard."

"Mr. Sherlock," Anna looked at the scene pulled up by the cordon, and said meaningfully: "You have to know that I never need to have any cumbersome connections, as long as I can achieve results. Help me take care of Harry first, I'll be back soon."

Anna turned Harry into Sherlock's arms. Harry was a little sleepy after the car ride just now, with only a slit in his eyes, but he didn't cry.

After reassuring Harry's condition, Anna turned and walked towards Lestrade.

"Good afternoon, Inspector." Anna bowed.

Lestrade was still in a daze during the conversation between Anna and Sherlock just now. When he heard Anna greet him, he was stunned for a few seconds before he realized: "Hello, ma'am."

"You don't need to be so alien." Anna said softly, "Call me Anna. I wonder if the inspector can do me a favor. Call Inspector Mike over and let me have a few words with him?"

"This..." Lestrade looked at Anna, and then at Sherlock who had followed and stood behind Anna with a paralyzed face.

"Please don't worry, I'm not Mr. Sherlock's kind of difficult person to get along with, so I won't embarrass you. Besides, the inspector really hopes that this case can be solved smoothly, doesn't he?" Anna still smiled softly there, What he said made Sherlock's face full of displeasure.

"I..." Sherlock was about to retort.

"Don't interrupt me, Mr. Sherlock, if you still want to go in."

Sherlock fell silent.

"...Okay, please wait a moment." After hesitating for a few seconds, Lestrade left this sentence, turned and walked towards the crime scene.

Sherlock walked up to Anna: "Are you sure you can convince that ignorant Scotland Yard?"

"Believe in my ability, at least my interpersonal relationship is much better than yours, isn't it? Mr. Sherlock." This sentence is true. Few people are less popular than Sherlock Holmes.

Sherlock only saw Anna say a few words to Lestrade, and Lestrade walked in his direction, and then Anna and Inspector Mike walked in another direction.

"Um...I mean...Sherlock...Um...Does Miss Anna have a boyfriend?" Lestrade paused for a few seconds after walking over, and asked coyly, obviously a little bit interested in that oriental beauty. heartbeat.

"As far as I know, I haven't seen her have a boyfriend or husband." Sherlock replied, looking at the corners of Lestrade's mouth slowly rising while muttering "Really", and continued: "But I hold This child is her son."

"Is that so...look...seeing that Miss Anna is so young, I...I thought it was her friend's child...I really...didn't realize it." Lestrade replied stammeringly, the whole picture His face turned red.

A nasty grin appeared on Sherlock's face.

A few minutes later, Anna came back with Mike who was pale and sweaty.

"Sherlock, go in, I will cooperate with you." Mike turned his head and left after leaving such a sentence.

Sherlock looked at Mike's back and asked, "What did you tell him?"

"It's nothing." Anna took Harry from Sherlock's hand. Harry couldn't bear such frequent position changes, and he was fully awake, holding on to Anna's hair.

Anna confronted Harry's little hand that was holding her messy hair, and said casually: "I just recalled to him his disastrous results after he took office in the police station, and took him to think about how his job will end if this continues." Is it a month, two months, or just throwing it away after three months. You know, saying this is always more useful than telling them what they did yesterday and what they ate this morning."

"I……"

"Okay, Mr. Sherlock, I helped you solve the problem. You must be able to meet the conditions just now." Anna interrupted Sherlock and said softly.

"...Oh, of course." Sherlock finally nodded.

"The problem is solved, then, that's it, see you." Anna said happily. Although she couldn't take Harry for a walk today, she got some extra money for nothing, and Sherlock Holmes would stop reasoning about her. One less hassle, but still very rewarding. "

"Goodbye, Miss Anna." Although he was hopeless, Lestrade still had a good impression of this well-bred and gentle woman.

Anna nodded and smiled, and walked out of the park.

Lestrade moved closer to Sherlock and said, "I have to say, you really have a considerate neighbor, Sherlock."

"..." Sherlock didn't say anything, just glanced at Lestrade, then looked in the direction where Anna disappeared, then turned and walked towards the crime scene.

"Don't waste time, I can't wait to have a confrontation with the murderer."
