[Zhongyingmei] There are always people who want to harm me

Watson was amazed by the story Emily told. "How are you?"

Emily had gone to throw up once and came back.

"It's...it's okay." Emily couldn't even drink the water, so she could only rinse her mouth and come back.

"That Dr. Lecter couldn't have put the corpse on display on the steps in front of the door. How did you find the corpse?" The big detective Sherlock remained motionless for 10 minutes from the time Emily went out to vomit until she came back.

"I slipped in." If there was a word in the world that could accurately describe what she had done, Emily thought it would be it - silly and bold.

"Why?" Sherlock said blankly.

"After I found Claire's earrings in the flowerpot in front of the doctor's door, I felt something was wrong. Dr. Lecter is very professional, and he always strictly abides by the boundary between doctors and patients. It's hard for me to imagine him Will contact patients in private. Claire came to see the doctor because her fiancé's sudden death was too psychologically traumatic. According to her own statement, she has improved a lot since seeing Dr. Claire. From several conversations with her, I also I can clearly feel that her condition is improving. She suddenly disappeared, and the earrings reappeared in front of Dr. Lecter's door. Coupled with the abnormal behavior of the previous doctor, I can only suspect that Dr. Lecter has something to do with Claire's disappearance."

"How did you get into the room?" Watson could only ask after seeing Sherlock put on a listening posture again.

"The door lock of Dr. Lecter's house is the kind of electronic lock that only requires a password and no fingerprints." It's strange to think about it now.He was obviously an ogre, but Hannibal Lecter was so negligent that he didn't equip his home with a fingerprint lock. "I guessed the password based on the doctor's usual habits."

"Wow." Watson couldn't help but want to interrupt Emily's narration to ask the other party the secret of doing so - since he was always guessed by his roommate Sherlock's laptop password. "Go on."

"The doctor's home is very clean, just like the clinic, clean, tidy, and spotless. It doesn't seem like someone lives there." As a person who likes to throw things away after returning home, Emily finds it difficult to understand the kind of people who leave everything in the house. What is the person who put things in order thinking, "The first floor is the living room and dining room, nothing unusual, and the bedrooms and study on the second floor are also normal."

"Then where did you find the body?" Watson asked in place of Sherlock.

"Hoo...the basement," Emily took a deep breath, and felt disgusted again, "The entrance and exit of the basement are very hidden, if I didn't get the architectural drawings of that house from the former real estate agent before I went, it wouldn't be so. You will find that there is a hidden basement in that villa." Although Emily was a little silly and bold at the time, she was not unprepared, "The basement is directly below the restaurant, and the entrance and exit are very small. If you don't look for it deliberately, you can't find it. .”

"It's not stupid enough." The great detective Sherlock commented.

"In the basement..." Even after nearly a year, Emily still felt horrified when she recalled the scene at that time, "There was a freezer...the freezer was filled with..."

"What are you pretending?" Sherlock ignored Emily's expression of wanting to vomit again, and forced her to finish speaking.

"... Claire, Claire is inside." It was the first time in Emily's life that she saw the body with her own eyes. "I don't know anatomy, but it seems... most of her internal organs have been taken out." Until last year September kowtowed and recalled the memories of her previous life, and Emily finally understood why Hannibal Lecter took the risk of preserving Claire's body instead of completely destroying the body after eating part of the evidence. There are tools for disposing of dead bodies." It was like a slaughterhouse.

"You mean, that Dr. Hannibal Lecter murdered his patient Claire and hid the body in the basement?" Watson tried to conclude.

"No, he didn't hide Claire in the basement." Emily looked directly at Dr. Watson who was sitting on the side. Come down to eat."

"My God." Watson has experienced many bizarre cases since he met Sherlock, but the case of cannibalism is the first.

"How are you sure that Dr. Hannibal Lecter ate his patient Claire?" Sherlock found a loophole in Emily's words.

"I...in the refrigerator upstairs, I found some meat and offal..." Emily is the kind of person who panics come and go quickly.The huge fright when she saw the freezer almost made her brain freeze, but after the fear receded, she made a wise decision immediately, "I'm so scared, I want to leave as soon as possible, the entrance to the secret basement is in the restaurant. When I was running outside, I passed by the refrigerator, and I got a sample of the meat in the refrigerator, so I took it back and went to a classmate for testing.”

"Is it human flesh?" Sherlock looked very interested.

"Hey, the human liver still has muscles." Emily, who loves fried chicken nuggets the most, felt like throwing up when she saw fried chicken nuggets for a whole month after that.

"Interesting." Hearing this, Sherlock finally felt that things were much more interesting. "An ogre psychiatrist, a religious murder case, and several novel fan murder cases. It's hard not to connect them, isn't it?" Excited The big detective jumped up from the sofa, "I'll go out and check things, John, you stay at home with her. Call me if you have anything to do." Sherlock, who was in a hurry, put on his coat and ran out.

"Hey, Sherlock, where are you going? Sherlock!" Obviously, Watson couldn't stop the high-spirited detective.

When Sherlock hurried out, only Emily and Dr. Watson were left in the living room on the second floor of 221B Baker Street.

"Emily, or I'll ask Mrs. Hudson to help you get something to eat." Emily vomited once just now, and there is probably nothing left in her stomach right now.

"No, I can't eat." Emily has no appetite to eat, she is staring at her mobile phone anxiously, "I hope Mr. Wayne can find Linda in time." Gotham is not far from Manhattan, but It can't be called close, if it wasn't really impossible, Emily wouldn't find Batman.

"Wayne...could it be Bruce Wayne? The Bruce Wayne from the Wayne Group?" Watson suddenly remembered the name of the richest man in Gotham.

"Hmm..." It's not that Emily is unwilling to hide her identity for Batman, it's because Dr. Watson only needs to be with the great detective Sherlock for a day, and this kind of concealment is meaningless, "It's him." I'm afraid the great detective The true identities of the superheroes have long been known.

After helping Emily get some french fries and Coke, Watson went back to sit on the sofa, "Emily, you haven't said yet, how did you and your friend learn from that doctor Hannibal Lecter? Escaped from your hands?" As the assistant of the great detective Sherlock Holmes, Watson is often responsible for communicating with the client on his behalf, so he is very familiar with doing these things at the moment.

"After I left Dr. Lecter's house, I took the samples I got to a classmate who had equipment to test DNA samples. I found Linda immediately after I put the things in his place, and told her about the matter. I said it. Afterwards, the two of us called the front desk lady to ask for leave under the pretext that the school was busy. The next morning, my classmate called and said that the samples I took belonged to human beings.” The two people who hadn’t slept all night answered After hearing the news, I was even more afraid, "Linda said that we should call the police directly, saying that Dr. Hannibal Lecter was related to Claire's disappearance and asked the New York police to investigate. But I think that is inappropriate. On the third day, we sent The collected samples were anonymously sent to the police department, along with architectural drawings of Dr. Lecter's house."

"What about after that?" Watson didn't think such an ogre would be easy to catch.

"The police caught someone, but they didn't announce the news to the public at all. We secretly called the receptionist at the front desk, and she was so scared that she said that Dr. Lecter was arrested by the police for eating people." Emily didn't know the New York police Out of some considerations, the incident was handled in a low-key manner, "But anyway, Hannibal Lecter was caught, and Linda and I thought it was over. Who knows..." Who knew that the person who had already How could the doctor who was caught appear out of nowhere.

"Did you never hear from the other party after that?" If that Dr. Hannibal Lecter had already been arrested, why did Linda White say that the matter was related to him?

"No, he was caught, and we thought the matter was over." Emily believed that the cannibal charge must be serious, and that Hannibal Lecter must have been imprisoned for life, so after the incident, there will be no more. I have paid attention, "I have never heard of any prisoner escape recently. I always thought that Dr. Lecter must still be in prison." In my memory, Hannibal Lecter escaped from prison when FBI agents found him I hope he can assist in the investigation of the case, but that is the plot in "The Silence of the Lambs".In this world where time points and characters are different, it is difficult for Emily to deduce the development according to the plot of the movie-this is a living world, everyone has flesh and blood, they are not characters in movies or TV shows. track forward.

The phone finally rang again.

"Hello? Mr. Wayne." Emily picked up the phone eagerly, "You..."

The deep voice of Batman Bruce Wayne came from the other end of the phone, "I found Linda White. But she was seriously injured and unconscious. But her life is not in danger for the time being."

No matter how serious the injury is, as long as the person is still alive, "Mr. Wayne, Linda, she..." The public hospital will definitely not be able to send her to the Avengers Building. Distracted, "Can you please..." Take her back to Gotham first?

"I'll take her back first, don't worry." Bruce Wayne naturally planned to help Emily from the moment he promised to come to Manhattan to find someone, "I'll take her back to Gotham, she will be safe."

"Thank you, Mr. Wayne." At this moment, Emily could only say a dry thank you for helping so much. She felt a little embarrassed, "Thank you very much."

"Okay, I'll take her away first, and I'll contact you when she wakes up." Bruce Wayne on the other end of the phone hung up.

"How is it? The person was found?" Watson was also very happy to see Emily's face improved, "It's good that she is safe."

"She was injured, but not life-threatening. Mr. Wayne will take her back to Gotham first." Gotham is Batman's base camp, and Emily believes that Linda must be safe staying there.

"It's just that Linda doesn't wake up, so it's hard for us to know the truth of the matter..." Sighing, Emily, who was exhausted by the events of the past two days, was finally able to relax after learning that her friend was safe and careful. She breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that people are still alive." When she heard that the matter was related to Hannibal Lecter, Emily made the worst assumption—maybe Linda would be eaten by him.But now I know that Batman has taken people away. Even if he is injured, it is better than losing his life. "This can be regarded as the best thing in the past two days." Coming to the UK, the accident system seems to be back.

"Okay, I'll ask Mrs. Hudson to get you something to eat, and you can go to sleep after eating." Watson advised in the professional manner of a doctor, "I don't know what will be found when Sherlock comes back tomorrow. You If you don’t have a good spirit, you won’t be able to cope with the next thing.”

"Yeah." The news that Linda was still alive made Emily feel much better.

Silent all night.

At 36:[-] the next morning, Emily felt nothing but shaking.

"Ah!" It doesn't feel good to be awakened suddenly from sleep. "Ah... Sherlock?" Emily was so terrified that she almost wanted to deform the watch given by her idol, but when she opened her eyes, she saw that the person standing by the bed was the great detective Sherlock Holmes.

"Get up, I've made a big discovery!" Sherlock didn't have the slightest sense of breaking into the girl's room. He pressed Emily's quilt and leaned over, "I found the murderer."

"What?!" This good news made Emily ignore the other party's behavior of breaking into the door, "Wait, I'll get up soon." The great detective Sherlock actually found the murderer in one night.

"Hurry up, we're rushing to Scotland Yard!" Sherlock came up just to wake up Emily, who was too sleepy downstairs and couldn't be woken up. At this moment, she was already awake, so he naturally wanted to go out.

Hastily changing clothes, Emily and Dr. Watson, who was also awake, were pulled into a taxi by the big detective Sherlock.

"You caught the murderer?" Watson recorded the case last night and stayed up very late. It was less than five hours before he went to bed, and he was still a little dazed with sleepy eyes.

"That's right. But not everyone." Sherlock always spoke quickly, "The lawyer who was found dead in the subway station, I checked his action records and all his online chat records. I found that he had a Secret account to connect with some unknown people. The chats are all about the novel "drop". Apparently the lawyer himself is a huge fan of that boring romance novel. They are in that secret chat room All the content of the chat is related to that novel. Including the clues in the novel, the arrangement of the scenes, the analysis of the characters of the hero and heroine, the author’s choice of supporting roles, etc. etc. By the way, those analyzes are completely stupid in my opinion .In that chat room, there are also scene descriptions about the two cases at the University of East London and UCL, including details that the police have not released to the public. I am sure that other people in the secret chat room must have two cases The murderer of the case. Afterwards, I checked the dead lawyer’s action records for the past half month, and found that he had behaved abnormally since ten days before the incident.” Sherlock said it simply, but Emily knew that after finding these things, he must Not easy - otherwise why didn't Scotland Yard find out?

"You mean..." Judging from the various clues provided by Sherlock, Emily could only think of one possibility, "The dead lawyer knew the person who planned the previous two cases? His death was not an accident, it was Arranged?"

"He was killed voluntarily." Sherlock expressed contempt for this stupid act of martyrdom, "He had already confessed his job and family before he died. He even bought a personal accident insurance for himself! "The great detective Sherlock felt that this lawyer's behavior could be called four words - so stupid! "I guess the group of people who planned the murder didn't expect the martyrs they chose to be so stupid." The great detective Sherlock has encountered many criminals in his life, and he likes to compete with smart people most.Regarding the dead lawyer, Sherlock said that the other party was simply insulting his IQ, "Through the analysis of the conversation in the chat room, I speculate that there are currently eight criminals in London. Five criminals were captured."

"Wow." Although the great detective said it with a relaxed face, Emily still couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the other party's speed, "It's only been one night, and you've already caught the criminal?" Should I say the great detective Sherlock Has Sherlock Holmes really lived up to his reputation?

"Hmm." Although the always arrogant detective Sherlock didn't say anything, he was very happy every time he heard the praise.

Watson, who is very familiar with his friend's problem of integrity, can naturally see Sherlock's pride, "Sherlock is really good. Emily, don't worry." Out of care for his friend, Watson He decided to say good things about Sherlock in front of Emily, "Sherlock will be able to catch the remaining three people soon, and even Dr. Hannibal Lecter believes that he won't be arrested for too long."

Dr. Watson naturally had his reasons for doing this.

In the past two years of co-renting with Sherlock, compared with Watson who keeps having girlfriends, the great detective Sherlock has never had any regular women around him.Originally, Peanut thought that his best friend was just not interested in ordinary women, and that he might spend his whole life with the mystery case, but at this time, Emily appeared.

Although the girl was a little younger, she was pretty anyway, and she could keep up with Sherlock's unconstrained thinking.Most importantly, Watson felt that Sherlock was different from Emily.

Sherlock, who has always been impatient, showed a good temper that he had never had before when facing the little girl.When Emily was frightened and cried, Sherlock actually hugged her back to the sofa and gave her water!God knows that not only Lestrade wanted to take pictures, but Watson himself wanted to take pictures as well!

With the attitude that maybe this will affect the happiness of his friends for the rest of their lives, Watson decided to help Sherlock, "With the help of Sherlock, the affairs of the United States can be resolved quickly, so you don't have to worry about it..."

"Well, good news (good news)." Although Watson imagined several ways in his heart to help his friends increase their favorability in front of Emily, there was nothing Sherlock could do if he didn't cooperate with him.At this time, the big detective Sherlock interrupted Watson, "Just received the news that the FBI has identified the location of Hannibal Lecter, and the BAU people have surrounded the scene."

"what?!"

"what happened?!"

Emily and Watson screamed at the same time.

"Don't make such a fuss." Sherlock originally wanted to wait for the BAU people to catch him before telling Emily and Watson the news.But he saw his roommate Watson didn't know what was going on in his mind and behaved strangely, so he could only reveal the news first. "I got in touch with the BAU last night after analyzing the records of the chat room. They used the clues I provided to profile the general location, and then narrowed down the scope with the help of the technical staff. I have to say that compared to Scotland In the field, there are finally a few agents who can think with their brains in the BAU team of the FBI." This is almost the highest evaluation that the great detective Sherlock can give.

"My God..." At this moment, hearing that the ogre Hannibal Lecter is about to be arrested, Emily's hanging heart can finally fall to the ground, "Thank you, Sherlock." The preparations that will be followed by Hannibal's shadow of, "I don't know how to thank you." It's literally a lifesaver.

"Hmm." The tsundere detective didn't look at Emily with grateful eyes.

"Pfft..." Watson couldn't tell that his friend was shy by Emily. "That's great, Emily. This way you can feel at ease." Watson was really happy for Emily.

"But what are we going to Scotland Yard for now?" Since the mastermind was about to be caught, Watson didn't understand why Sherlock woke him and Emily up early in the morning, "Is there any other clues? Haven't checked it out?"

"According to the known information, all the clues eventually point to the cannibal doctor Hannibal Lecter," Sherlock did not intend to hide it from Emily, "but judging from the five criminals who have been captured this time Looking at the three people who slipped through the net, I don't think things are that simple."

"What do you mean?" Emily suddenly had a bad feeling.

"It means... I suspect that Hannibal Lecter is just a scapegoat who was released. The real mastermind is someone else." Sherlock's deep voice made Emily's heart sink to the bottom.
