[Comprehensive] Runaway Witch

In the small manor where Holmes and his wife cultivated, Sherlock was staring at Elina, his eyes were very penetrating and oppressive. If he was an ordinary person, he would definitely surrender quickly, or walk away or stare back.

It's a pity that the person being stared at was very calm, ignoring the sight that was about to turn into reality, and patiently peeled the boiled potatoes, crushed them into mashed potatoes.

"I heard that you plan to move back to London? I thought you planned to retire here." After making sure that his eyes did not "impress" Alina, Sherlock continued to wait impatiently.

"Where did you hear that?" Elina continued to grind potatoes without raising her head.

"Uh...that's what I heard!" Sherlock hesitated slightly, but finally answered confidently.

"Only Mycroft called today, and I decided to go back to London today." Alina looked up at the calm Sherlock, admiring his expression control.

"That's right, that control freak said it." Convincing expression and answer, if Alina didn't understand him, then she must have believed this answer, but unfortunately...

"Really? Mycroft's call was an hour and a half ago. Aunt Holmes read McCoff for more than half an hour. Even if the moment after hanging up the phone, McCoff called you, how did you come within an hour?" Arrived here?" Alina finally stopped what she was doing.

She raised her head and looked at Sherlock with a smile. The expression on her face was like the happy expression of having caught you when she found him when she was playing hide-and-seek as a child.

"I shouldn't let you be an FBI. She is so smart, it will be difficult to marry in the future." Sherlock is not embarrassed when he is exposed, and it still makes sense.

"Does Mycroft know that you monitored his phone?" Alina's words hit the bull's-eye.

... three days later ...

After being bored at home for three days, Sherlock and Alina returned to London together.

In the car, Sherlock finally asked the question he had endured for three days, "Do you want me to participate in the storm you fanned in London?"

"You and Mycroft, I don't want you to participate now. If necessary, I will ask you for help." Alina shook her head firmly.

"I knew you had the answer...Macrof avoided it because of this." Sherlock frowned helplessly.

"I'm already 30 years old, and the time my parents spend with me only takes up half of my life... It took me so long to prepare, so let me try it myself." Alina didn't dare to look into the detective's eyes, so she had to look Looking at the shadows of trees passing by outside the car.

"Mycroft didn't let go either, he's monitoring all your actions!" Sherlock, who was naive enough to complain, obviously didn't want Alina to think that McCoff knew her better than he did.

Here, Sherlock and Elina have just returned to London after three days of self-cultivation.

Detective Inspector Lestrade has been living in dire straits. Mrs. Mrs. Sterling feels that she has a nervous breakdown every day.

In the end, the chief came forward to ask Lestrade to investigate the case as murder, and Mrs. Sterling did not make any further disturbances at the police station.

It would be naive of you to think that Lestrade could live in peace.

If the investigation is based on murder, all personnel related to Benjamin Sterling will be investigated and questioned.

But who is Benjamin Sterling, the second son of Senator Sterling, who is easy to mess with anyone related to him.

……Charles Sterling……

On the third visit of Lestrade, the half-brother of Benjamin Sterling finally showed up to see Lestrade. At the same time, the lawyer accompanied him and only gave him 30 minutes.

"This is the meaning of Mr. Charles Sterling. After all, it is his brother's case. He is willing to take time out of his busy schedule to chat with you, but I want to emphasize again that it must be within half an hour, Mr. Sterling There is an important meeting later." This was the opening remarks of Mr. Jones, who claimed to be Charles Sterling's secretary.

"That's right, we don't recommend Mr. Sterling to have this meeting, so I hope you will pay attention, Sheriff." Mr. Henry, the lawyer representing Charles Sterling, emphasized beside him.

During this period, Lestrade's complexion became bad, and Charles Sterling didn't make a sound, just waiting for the questioning to start.

Cleaning up his bad mood, Lestrade showed his most professional side, "Mr. Charles Sterling, thank you very much for your cooperation, we don't have much time, so we won't talk nonsense, may I ask you Whereabouts on the day of the incident."

"My dear brother died at night, what time should I start explaining?" Charles Sterling asked without answering.

"Since it's the first question, and it's such an important question, I hope Mr. Charles Sterling can answer it seriously. It may be more helpful for your memory from this morning." Inspector Lestrade looked at the situation in front of him. Dealing with men.

"Jones, find me the itinerary for that day. I need some information to help my memory." The difficult person ordered his secretary slowly.

"Mr. Sterling worked from morning to 6:00 pm that day, went home for dinner, and then participated in a video conference until 10:00 pm. This is the work arrangement of the day." Mr. Secretary quickly found the note Ben, let's start by explaining what happened that day.

"That's right, I worked all day that day and attended a multinational meeting at night. After the end, I rested soon." Charles Sterling repeated while nodding.

"Didn't you go out that night?" Sergeant Lestrade was troubled by such scripted whereabouts.

"No." An affirmative answer, with firm eyes.

"Excuse me, do you live alone?"

"Yes, I live alone."

"So no one can prove that you were home that night."

"I think so, there are no witnesses, but the monitoring of the entrance and exit of the house was still there that day, so whether it can prove my innocence,"

"I hope you can provide it to us, and our technicians will analyze it." Lestrade wrote down in his small notebook.

"Of course, do you have any questions?"

"I heard that you and your brother care very badly, is that true?"

"I can't say how much brotherly love we have. After all, we are not born of the same mother, so the relationship is very ordinary. But it is definitely not to the point of hating, or even getting rid of it, far from it."

"Since we are now investigating this case as a murder, who does Mr. Charles Sterling think did it?"

"Honestly, I don't know. I don't like to admit that I'm not smart enough, but now I really need God to give me some wisdom to solve the problem."

"Annie King, the closer she got to graduation, the more irritable she became. Now the source of the trouble has been solved." The name appeared so easily that Lestrade was stunned for a second.

"Sheriff Lestrade, I think Mr. Charles Sterling needs to leave, please forgive me." Secretary Jones interrupted the conversation.

"Then I'll see you next time I have a chance, Inspector Lestrade." Charles Sterling stood up and smiled.

"Goodbye, Mr. Charles Sterling." Lestrade got up and shook hands with Charles Sterling, the smile he tried to raise was weak.

Mr. Charles Sterling left in a hurry with the two of them.

……Annie King………

Lestrade immediately went to meet the suspect mentioned by Mr. Charles Sterling, the beautiful and domineering Anne King.

"Miss Anne King, I'm sorry to bother you, may I have a chat with you." Unlike the questioning arranged by Mr. Charles Sterling at the police station, Lestrade finally knocked on the door of Jin's house.

The Kim parents and their second son, who are still in school, were at home.

"Of course, if you can answer, I'll tell you everything." Annie King agreed straightforwardly.

"What were you doing on the night of the incident? Where are you?" Lestrade opened with an alibi as usual.

"I'm at home, what else can I do, of course I'm sleeping."

"Can anyone prove it?"

"Yes, my family is here."

"So you're sure you didn't go out that night?"

"Sure." Lestrade got the expected answer without any surprise.

"Is there any proof other than witnesses?"

"Hmm...for example?"

"Such as surveillance."

"The surveillance system in our house is broken and hasn't been repaired yet, but I went to deliver milk to Annie that night, and she was at home all the time." Mrs. Jin, who was sitting drinking tea, said something for her daughter.

"I see, thank you for your cooperation." Lestrade simply got up and left.

... Sherlock who answered the phone when he was bored at his parents' manor ...

"Sherlock, where did you go? There is a case that needs your help." Inspector Lestrade looked gratefully at the 108th call that finally got through.

"I don't want to get involved in this boring case of yours. I'll hang up if it's okay." Saying this, Sherlock didn't see that he actually pressed the hang up button.

"Hey... hey... don't, you know about this case, don't you, analyze and analyze it for me." The detective had to bow down.

"Such a case has already been aroused, and I can't even refuse to know about it." Tsundere answer, it is obvious that many people don't know what happened around them.

"So you think the murderer is?" The detective looked forward to the detective's answer, and ended his recent painful life.

"No matter who it is, you will offend others. Do you really want to continue the investigation?"

"Of course I have to check. For the sake of my honesty and unyieldingness, let's talk about it..."

"Integrity and unyielding? You? The only suggestion is to stay as far away from this case as possible." The rare and kind Sherlock hadn't had time to appreciate himself.

"Don't I know this? This is a hot potato, everyone knows it!" Lestrade was speechless. If Sherlock was in front of him, he would not hesitate to spray him in the face and say nonsense.

"Hmph... Since it's the only suggestion, then... goodbye..." Sherlock still didn't hang up the phone, completely different from his usual attitude of ignoring useless people. You must know that Lestrade without a button is a useless person.

It's a pity that Inspector Lestrade couldn't see through it, "Sherlock, don't hang up! Don't hang up! Give me another suggestion, what should I do? Please..."

"Well, why not let Mrs. Sterling put the pressure on, she can remove all the obstacles in this case, so that you have been scolded by her for so long." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone.

Listening to the beeping sound after hanging up, Lestrade just wanted to ask, I didn't tell you that I was trained, why did you know, I didn't say what was the obstacle, how do you know she can do it...

But in the end...

"Hello Mrs. Sterling, I'm Inspector Lestrade. Excuse me." Out of blind trust, he made the call without thinking.

"What's the matter? I didn't go to the police station to bother you. It's rare for you, the inspector, to condescend to call. My honor!" Mrs. Sterling, who was invited away by the police chief, spoke sarcastically and was very unfriendly.

"With regard to your son's case, because Mr. Charles Sterling and Ms. Anne King are involved, there are troubles in questioning and evidence collection. The biggest problem is that the crime scene is also under the name of Mr. Charles Sterling. The nightclub surveillance, so far has not been negotiated successfully." Lestrade, who seemed to be suing, was a little unnatural.

"I get it... I get it..." Mrs. Sterling MP who hung up the phone murmured

"..." Lestrade, who was hung up again, felt very confused.

... have returned to London ...

"Since you won't let me intervene, I won't intervene. But you also have to protect yourself, don't lose yourself too." This is Sherlock's parting advice to Alina who got home.

Alina nodded with a smile.

Just turning around, her expression changed, and she went back to the little house she bought solemnly.

After opening the door and entering, Elina made a pot of tea and waited in the living room for nearly 10 minutes when the doorbell rang.

A pair of brother and sister entered the door. They were dressed in simple clothes and looked ordinary.

But when the two spoke, they were not simple people.

"London is not peaceful recently. Benjamin Sterling died. Forget it. Mr. Sterling is not the kind of person who would feel sorry for his son and delay his ambitions, but..." The elder brother of the siblings looked at him playfully. Alina.

"But Mrs. Sterling MP is not an easy-going lamp. She has already started to rely on her mother family, the Duke of Brown's family, to put pressure on the Sterling family and the Jin family. If anyone does not cooperate with the investigation of his son's case, she will be the murderer." A member of the list. The arrogance is not inferior to Councilor Sterling." The younger sister picked up what her brother said, and talked about the news of the past two days with sarcasm.

"Then... do you still like this opening?" Alina looked at the two expected guests.

"I like it! Why don't you like it? It's just that you have been planning for many years, and the next thing may be more exciting." The younger sister praised lively, but the older brother smiled half-smile.

"Mr. Taylor and Ms. Taylor like it as long as they like it." Alina poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then, without pushing it to their hands, she just picked up her own cup and drank the tea.

"Don't worry about it, Miss Clark, we must join." Mr. Taylor stretched out his hand for a cup of tea to drink.

"That's right, there's no reason for us not to participate." Miss Taylor also stretched out her hand for the last cup of tea.

"Then I won't say much, but I hope you two will follow my command. I already have a complete plan, and with you, I will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." Alina put down her glass, and started discussing "business matters" without lying. ".

"Okay! Let's start!" The brothers and sisters said in unison.

"You have been operating in London for many years, trying to make Charles Sterling understand that his own mother died at the hands of his stepmother. What do you think he will think? How will he do it?" After getting the expected answer, Elina directly entered Next step layout.

"It's easy, just say a few gossips, it's just evidence... Also, is this true?" Miss Taylor hesitated.

"A former maid, the testimony of this witness cannot crucify people, but if we continue to investigate, although it may not be possible to find substantive evidence due to the long time, but those truths, if you want to find them, how can you not find them?" Alina A light explanation.

"Where is Mr. Jin?" Mr. Taylor didn't believe that Alina would only care about the Sterling family and ignore the Jin family.

"Chairman Jin's illegitimate son is not young, shouldn't he come out and let everyone know each other." Alina really didn't mean to miss the other family.

"These are trivial matters, Miss Clark, you..." Mr. Taylor nodded and agreed, but his heart was always complicated.

"A small amount makes a lot. We don't need to pull these two people off the horse directly, of course we can't do it. But let them lose everything slowly, this is my goal." Alina's eyes lingered on the faces of the two .

"So are we, and their days are over." The alliance was formed.

……Excited reporters……

"There's been a lot of news in the past two days. It seems that my salary and bonus have been raised by a notch!" A "reporter" secretly having fun in front of the computer.

"You! Don't think about it, a rookie is a rookie. Don't you know that some news can be broadcast and others can't?" This is a very irritable colleague.

"We have freedom of the press!" A young man longing for freedom.

"So they also have the freedom to trouble us. Please be quiet."

"Okay, okay, but I want to ask, Charles Sterling killed Benjamin Sterling, because the current Mrs. Sterling MP killed his predecessor, so this is revenge?" After rushing to draft, they immediately crowded around with great interest.

"Who knows, these rich and powerful people will never be satisfied, who knows what they will do for their purpose..." The senior senior replied indifferently.

"There are many such things?" The rookie was still curious.

"A lot, but it's not something we can manage. It's more important for us to earn our mortgage." Realistic veteran.

In the nightclub death incident that was raging in a small area, Mrs. Sterling used the power of the Duke of Brown's family to help Detective Lestrade, who was finally able to investigate the case relatively freely after nearly 10 days after the incident.

Many years ago, Mrs. Sterling killed Charles Sterling's own mother in order to get the young, handsome and promising Mr. Sterling. This matter was accurately heard by Charles Sterling. , he became more and more silent.

Benjamin Sterling, the name given by Councilor Sterling, Benjamin (Benjamin), Hebrew, meaning favorite son.

It can be seen that Senator Sterling loved the child at that time, and he also showed his gratitude to Duke Brown.

But now, this "favorite" son is dead, and Mr. Sterling is still working hard without being emotionally disturbed.

Then it's hard to tell how much his son Benjamin Sterling really loves, but it's true that he doesn't care much about Duke Brown's side now that he is powerful.

Charles Sterling, who was well aware of these, continued to be his good son quietly, keeping the news in his heart for the time being.

Instead, the most troublesome thing was the affair of Councilor Kim's sex that finally broke out.

Videos of the Jin family's quarrel, which have always been a model couple, appeared on the Internet. The key words in it, illegitimate child, also let everyone understand the main point of the matter.

Such explosive news cannot be suppressed, and spontaneously formed an upsurge of discussion.

For a while, people who claimed to be Mrs. Kim's mistress kept coming and going, which made Mrs. Mrs. Kim very angry, but there was nothing she could do.

Mrs. Jin's wife was named Thomas before she married, and she was originally from a very good family background, so she let her husband go smoothly in his official career.

At the same time, her married life is also very smooth. She gave birth to 3 children in six years and spent more than 20 years together harmoniously. This is rare in the political circle, which proves the relationship between herself and her husband.

However, the appearance of an illegitimate son who is not much younger than her youngest son is like a slap in the face, leaving her with no shame.

But now that Congressman Jin is in power and the Thomas family is in decline, all she can do is to accuse her face to face.

Unexpectedly, such accusations were recorded and uploaded on the Internet, completely losing face and reputation to the Jin family.

...... The doubts of the Taylor brothers and sisters......

Years ago, Alina first found her siblings who shared her same illness.

"You have elders who can help you, why didn't you just kill those two executioners?" Miss Taylor asked when she lost control of her emotions.

"You don't want to do it yourself, you don't want them to lose everything when they are most satisfied and then live a life like death?" Alina looked at the siblings like that, and the three had similar gleams in their eyes.

Years later, this radiance has never changed, only their age and ability have changed.

Now, the good show finally begins.
