"We found slices of the victim's internal organs in the warehouse you rented under an alias." Reid pushed the photo in his hand, "After DNA comparison, there are six more victims besides Elizabeth Barker." Frank Lance, crime-ridden.

"I don't believe it." Michael stood outside the interrogation room, he looked at the scene on the other side of the glass, and refused to believe what the FBI agents told him.Was it friend Frank who killed Elizabeth?Also killed others?How can this be? !

"That's the truth." BAU's Morgan seemed to be convincing Michael to accept the reality and assist in the investigation, but Alice knew that they also suspected Michael now.As a long-time friend of the boss Frank and a partner at work, Michael cannot escape suspicion.

"Alice?" Michael, who studies law, is not an idiot. He can't trust those FBI agents and New York police officers who can tell they are acting at first sight. "Do you know these things?" The little girl lives with a big detective from England. , I want to be well-informed.

"They're telling the truth." Alice stood leaning against a table without looking up. "That warehouse... I found it together with them." The boss Frank's murder evidence is conclusive.

"But he..." Michael scratched his hair helplessly, "Frank... He was so sad when Elizabeth died. I told you that he has been... how could Elizabeth be killed by him all these years!" He couldn't believe it.

"He told us in the morning that he knew the editor-in-chief of the "Manhattan Post", do you remember?" The FBI acted quickly, and Alice was holding the investigation results released 5 minutes ago, "The police found the freezer in the basement of the editor-in-chief's house. Here, a human hand was found." When she found out that the ogres were connected with each other, she had a bad feeling, and sure enough.

"...I don't believe it." Michael covered his face with both hands.His mouth said disbelief, but his body movements conveyed the opposite message.

"Mr. Michael, if you can think of anything, please tell us in detail, please?" BAU agents took the opportunity to speak, and then they took Michael out.

"What are you thinking?" Sherlock observed patiently for so long, and finally waited until everyone in BAU had left. "Mourning your ogre boss?" The case was getting more and more interesting, and it didn't take him to come to Manhattan in vain.

"Don't you think it's strange?" Alice selectively filtered the words of the great detective, "Frank killed his girlfriend Elizabeth, even if it was to cover up the crime to avoid suspicion, but he pretended to be deeply in love for so many years. , and even changed the name to the other party's." She always felt that Frank's behavior was a bit unnecessary. "The case back then was not cracked, and the files were sealed. If Frank didn't want people to know about it, he could pretend to be depressed, and then start over in a year or two where no one knows about it. But he He changed his name to Elizabeth, lived in the office location chosen by the deceased, and opened a studio that the deceased had dreamed of opening." Alice was puzzled, "Frank's doing so will only cause unnecessary Do you think it is reasonable for him to do so, and even everyone close to him will know about the tragedy that happened to Elizabeth Barker?" The last thing a murderer who wants to cover up his crimes should do is attract attention, but Frank It happens to run in the opposite direction.

"You think he has another purpose?" Sherlock nodded his chin.

"I can't tell." Alice shook her head.She has watched a lot of crime movies, but she really lacks actual combat experience. "Sherlock, you have solved so many cases, do you think Frank's behavior is abnormal?" Isn't the big detective the person she knows who has seen the most criminals?

"Two possibilities." Sherlock glanced at the ongoing tug-of-war in the interrogation room.As Frank Lance pleads not guilty and slyly argues, BAU Agents Hotchner and Dr. Reed are taking on each other.The evidence is solid and Frank cannot be denied, but he does still have bargaining chips with the police——

The whereabouts of the victim's body, and information about its cannibal.

"One, Frank Lance did the opposite, using other people's blind spots of thinking as a cover to cover up his crimes." People say that this is the reason why it is dark under the lights.Who would doubt a boyfriend who is so devastated by the loss of his girlfriend that he has almost given up on his entire life?

"As for the second..."

"He did it with other meanings." Alice understood Sherlock's meaning. "He not only killed his ex-girlfriend Elizabeth, Frank is also a member of number7, maybe his actions have something to do with number7..." Huh?

"What do you think?" Sherlock asked.

"Vincent...he knows about the shattering of the dimensional wall." Alice turned around and stared closely at the former boss in the interrogation room. "Did I tell you? When I was looking for a job, the conditions listed by Dream Come True Studio seemed to be tailor-made for me. Free time, few people, simple and uncomplicated environment, and They contacted me almost one minute after I submitted my resume." When she was not in doubt, she only thought that she was lucky in finding a job, but now it seems that this luck is in quotation marks.

"You suspect that your job was obtained under manipulation." Sherlock agreed with this guess.

"But this doesn't explain why Frank has been pretending to be in the pain of losing his girlfriend for so many years. If they want to hire me, they can make up another company or studio. As long as the time is right and the price is reasonable, I have the same opportunity." Maybe..." She suddenly felt a chill in her heart.

"Unless they are very sure that you will definitely work in that studio." Sherlock understood what Alice meant.

"If that's the case, then my work at Dream Come True Studio should be part of the 'plot'." Alice felt chills all over her body, this feeling of being known about future activities is really terrible . "But if that's really the case..." Counting the "plots" compiled by their "Dimension Squad" so far, Alice herself has two versions of the TV series and one version of the novel; the great detective Sherlock I own two versions of the detective collection; there are so many versions of Iron Man's children's shoes (although the basic route of Super English remains the same, in summary, almost everyone knows a different Tony Stark); Batman has one respectively. An inspirational version and a decadent version (Dr. Rhett Jr. just provided it); and Hannibal Lecter is part ogre and Nobel laureate.

Objectively speaking, not only is the dimensional wall broken, but it is about to be broken into slag.

"Mr. Holmes." Morgan suddenly pushed the door open, "Frank Lance said he wanted to see you and Miss Thorne." The suspect was stubborn and cunning. Although the evidence did not allow him to deny the fact that he killed Elizabeth Barker, Frank He has been avoiding the most important and refusing to answer another question - what is the scale of the cannibal network hidden in Manhattan and how many people are participating, and this is what BAU is most concerned about.

"But of course Miss Thorne, if you don't want to, we won't force you." Morgan secretly looked at the little girl standing beside the big detective.The little girl with black hair and blue eyes looked harmless to humans and animals, but the other party was the person who provided Powell Hardy's anonymous report letter.

Hannibal Lecter, the person who was hidden in the investigation materials and could be directly or indirectly related to all known cannibals just entered their sight.Morgan swears by his years of experience in the FBI that there is absolutely something wrong with that psychiatrist.

How did Alice Thorne, a young girl with a simple resume, realize that the other party was wrong before everyone noticed?

"No, it's okay." Alice saw Morgan's eyes, and she naturally knew what the other party was wondering about.But Alice doesn't have the patience to answer people's questions at the moment. "I'm also curious about what he's trying to say." Why on earth did Frank want to see her?

……

"Alice, you helped find someone to take me out the last time I was imprisoned here." Frank, who took off all his disguise, sat in a chair in the interrogation room, with handcuffs on his wrists.He didn't seem to care about the officers at all.

"Obviously she misread you." Sherlock pulled the only empty chair and sat down.He was the one who got Frank Lance off the hook last time.

#Black history has wood#

"Well, Alice wasn't the only one who misread me, was she? Mr. Holmes." Frank even had a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lance, how much do you know about the network of cannibals lurking beneath Manhattan?" Rossi sat on the other side of the table. "We have let you meet Mr. Holmes and Miss Thorne, and it is time for you to fulfill your promise." A secret group composed of ogres, Rosie knew that if they could not catch those people, there would be endless troubles.

"Agent Rossi, don't worry." Just when Frank was about to say something more, Alice suddenly spoke. "Frank, do Michael and Jane know what you're doing?" Michael is Frank's friend for many years, and Jane has been there since the beginning of the studio. She doesn't want to doubt her colleagues, but she can't help it.

"Michael?" Frank smiled, "He's just a warm-hearted fool, you can't doubt him."

So Jane is the one with the problem.

Alice turned her head and looked at Sherlock. She never dreamed that there was really another person among her colleagues.Rossi immediately got up and pushed the door out to check whether Jane was still in the police station.

"Alice, if I were you, I wouldn't worry too much about Jane now." Frank watched Rosie go out, and sighed. "I really didn't expect you to find out about me."

"What do you mean?" Sherlock asked directly.

"We have a deal." Frank spread his hands, he ignored the big detective, but stared at Alice, "I'm the one who should protect you."
