It's really a ghost [Comprehensive]

London

a crime scene

Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard's Crime Squad has been very busy recently with a serial murder case. The order to solve the case as soon as possible has been issued from above, which puts even more pressure on the Crime Squad.

Inspector Lestrade looked at the flashes of cameras outside the cordon, and couldn't help moaning: "For God's sake, can't these media stop a little?" Knowing that this serial murder was the murderer's imitation of "Jack the Ripper", it would not cause so much panic and pressure on Scotland Yard.

Yes, Jack the Ripper, that Jack the Ripper, how many more Jack the Rippers there are in London!

And this time the murderer was really imitating Jack the Ripper: all the victims' throats were cut open, their internal organs were taken out, and they committed crimes in a semi-public place after dark. The murderer also sent a letter to Scotland Yard, at the beginning of the letter The use of "DearBoss" is exactly the same as that of Jack the Ripper, except this time the victims are all men.

Now that the No.4 victim's body was found, Inspector Lestrade wiped his forehead. In order to solve the case as soon as possible, there is only one way now——

"Sherlock, yes, the fourth victim is here. I'll send someone to pick you up, what? You don't like to ride in a police car? Fine, then I'll give you the address, come here quickly."

Detective Inspector Lestrade ended the call, and as soon as he turned around, he met the gloomy gaze of forensic doctor Anderson, who was startled: "wth!"

Anderson rolled his eyes brazenly: "Did you call the freak?"

Inspector Lestrade said blankly, "Oh."

Anderson: "...Boss, your uncle is here? He's been very irritable recently."

Inspector Lestrade didn't have a moment's desire to sew Anderson's cheap mouth shut. He squeezed a word through his teeth: "Shut up and do your job. Where's Donovan?"

"I am taking notes for witnesses. She is a pretty Asian. I heard that Asians have special English-speaking skills. I hope Donovan will not ask special questions on the premise that the other party has already spoken English." Excuse me Can you speak English? "." Anderson laughed and was glared at by Lestrade, so he curled his lips and went to work.

But that didn't happen, and the witness, a young woman with a neat ponytail, spoke fluent American English.However, halfway through the transcript, Donovan received a phone call and the transcript was suspended.

After about 15 minutes, the cordon was pulled up, and a tall and thin man broke in.The overcoat he was wearing caused a dramatic tumbling as he walked.He seemed to be in high spirits, his curly hair seemed to be beating with the owner's excitement, and he had a very special eye color, which became translucent against the flickering lights around him, and the inside was filled with The most unpredictable colors.

It was Donovan who brought him in, as always.

Donovan, still holding a police communicator, said in front of the lanky man, "Here comes the freak, and I'm bringing him in."

Anderson dropped the work in his hands and greeted him. When he came up, he laughed: "Look who this is, a well-known vagrant in London, oh, I was wrong, it's consulting detective Sherlock Holmes! And this is a crime scene, Don't pollute it, do you understand?"

Sherlock Holmes didn't care about Anderson's ridicule at all, "I understand very well, and your wife hasn't been home for a long time?"

Anderson said blankly, "Oh."

Sherlock was choked up, but he wouldn't be comfortable keeping his reasoning out, so he ignored Anderson's non-cooperation and said, "Your deodorant told me the same as Donovan's, By the way she mopped the floor for you, you can see that on her lap. Oh, maybe she just went to chat with you and then passed the night."

Anderson opened his mouth and was about to say something when Inspector Lestrade came over: "Sherlock, you have 2 minutes!"

Sherlock forced a Sherlock-like smirk at Anderson and Donovan, the creases on his face were very present, "Can I go through now?" Among the police officers, the Asian woman who was obvious because she was not wearing protective clothing, she passed it lightly, and for some reason, he took another look.

"Sherlock?" Lestrade called him urgently. Sherlock refused to wear the protective clothing, but put on rubber gloves and focused all his attention on the newly discovered corpse.

Sherlock stared at the corpse for five seconds, then suddenly said, "Shut up!"

Obviously no one spoke at the scene, only Sherlock who gave such an unreasonable order explained: "You are thinking and disturbing me."

This sentence caused everyone around to roll their eyes.

After saying this, the person concerned flipped the hem of his coat smartly, squatted down, stared at the corpse on the ground with the eyes of a big cat staring at its prey, and took out a retractable magnifying glass from his coat pocket. A photo was taken on the victim's severed earlobe.

It's not easy to describe, but it's just weird.

This process took less than half a minute before he stood up again.

Lestrade couldn't wait to ask: "What did you find?"

The corners of Sherlock's mouth were raised, but he still said "modestly": "Not too many, the murderer will commit crimes again before tonight." Li took out his mobile phone, waved his bony fingers and pressed it.

"You're just talking nonsense!" Anderson couldn't help but said, "The previous three victims all happened once every two days. How could there be an exception this time?"

"Because the killer followed exactly the example of Jack the Ripper, in one of his letters, Jack the Ripper promised to cut off the earlobe of one of his victims. He did, he killed two people that day, that's why he said the murderer did it tonight Will commit crimes again before."

An unfamiliar voice came in and explained, after she finished speaking, everyone else couldn't help but look over, even Sherlock who was looking at the phone.He half-closed his eyes and stared at her closely, "Ha, finally there is a person whose IQ is above the average level, are you?"

"Lin Ai, you can call me Irene, I am a witness."

"Sherlock Holmes Nicetomeetyou." Sherlock's unusually bright eyes gave the new stranger a quick full-body scan, as well as a polite greeting.

Little did they know that the jaws of the people in Scotland Yard almost dropped. When did the freak know so much about social etiquette? For his normal social etiquette, please refer to the "Sherlock etiquette" when he greeted Anderson earlier.But when they realized that the Asian witness was a young, tall and beautiful woman, they thought it was understandable, probably.

"Miss Ai, what do you think?" Sherlock asked Irene as soon as he changed the subject, "You didn't look away when you saw the corpse, and you didn't feel any discomfort. This is obviously not the first time you've seen a corpse, or Said that you are used to seeing corpses. Look at your hands—" Sherlock's originally fast words were suddenly stuck when he saw Irene's hand, he paused and turned his gaze back to Irene again "Obviously you have a series of medical knowledge, enough to see this corpse."

Lestrade frowned and said, "Sherlock, she's just a witness, and we have a team of professionals. I've tried everything to get you here—"

Sherlock interrupted Inspector Lestrade and said confidently, "Yes, because you need me."

It was a good and strong reason, and Lestrade was defeated, and Irene was given a protective suit and a pair of rubber gloves.

Irene blinked: "Although you made the decision unilaterally and didn't ask for my opinion, but for the sake of his being so interesting, I am willing to cooperate."

Anderson was about to roll his eyes and tell the witness not to take advantage of it and act obediently, so he grasped the point sharply: "Who? Who are you talking about being funny?"

"He, Mr. Holmes." Irene answered as a matter of course, and Anderson exaggeratedly opened his mouth so long that he could stuff an egg: "o...m...g! Are you sure you didn't mean him as "weird", "wonderful", "Beating up"?"

"Why? Because he exposed you and Officer Donovan as soon as he came up?" Irene sniffed like Sherlock, and then said sincerely to Anderson: "And what I want to say is that I also smell Wouldn't it be interesting to conclude that you both smell the same deodorant, but I wouldn't be able to conclude that you had a 'night talk' the way Mr Holmes did?"

Anderson: "..."

For a moment Anderson was speechless.

When Irene came over, Sherlock suddenly said, "Deduction."

Irene froze for a moment, then she understood a little bit: "You mean the way you came to the conclusion that there was an affair between Mr. Forensic Doctor and Ms. Police Officer? Can this be learned?" The deductive method is very interesting.

"I created this by myself. I have a website about deductive method research on the Internet. You can check it out. Of course, I can't expect you to understand it, let alone learn it because of it." Sherlock quickly said The corners of her raised mouth were pressed down, instructing Irene to look at the victim, "Now, look at this corpse."

"Well, has anyone ever praised you, saying that although you speak very fast, you can enunciate words clearly?" Irene said slowly, she knelt down to examine the corpse, the background was also squatting down, covering her hands in a tower shape Sherlock with the upturned mouth, and a group of Scotland Yard squads with "Damn it" on their faces.

It's an interesting start, isn't it?
