It's really a ghost [Comprehensive]

Chapter 11 Goldfish in London 11

Sherlock looked as usual, "Where's the sticky note?"

Lestrade handed a letter to Sherlock, "It has been checked and there are no fingerprints."

"Good." Sherlock judged the place of origin of the letter paper the moment he knotted the envelope, paused and looked at Irene who was eager for knowledge, "So, you still have a lot to learn. Yes Yes, do you have that?"

that?which?Lestrade had a question mark on his face.

Erin understood what Sherlock meant, she nodded, then shook her head again.There are naturally some ghosts floating in the police station, but the owner of this heart is not there.

"Well, it's best like this, otherwise things won't be interesting." Sherlock said indifferently, and after he finished speaking, he turned his attention to the envelope, which indeed had Sherlock's name written on it, "This man uses atomic Written with a Parker Elite pen."

"he?"

"left handed?"

The first sentence was asked by Lestrade, and the second sentence was said by Irene.

"Obviously." Sherlock's tone rose a little, but only a little, basically the same as his usual tone.He opened the envelope, and there was only a piece of paper inside. Sherlock frowned subconsciously after reading the beginning, which said "dearboss" at the beginning.

It was exactly the same as the beginning of the letter that Jack the Ripper sent to the police station back then, and the impersonator Chris Thomas who was just captured a week ago was sent to the police station before committing the crime.

Sherlock quickly finished reading the contents of the letter, and he handed the letter to Irene, which made Inspector Lestrade, who was about to receive the letter, hang his outstretched hand in the air.

Lestrade: "... what did you read in the letter?"

"Pretentious."

Lestrade: "?"

Sherlock didn't intend to explain more, he set his sights on the package, and asked confidently: "I need my laboratory." He has a personal laboratory in Barts Hospital with excellent equipment, where he usually conducts Various experiments that cannot be done at 221b Baker Street.

"What! You can't take that evidence away! Besides, Scotland Yard has its own—" Lestrade saw Sherlock's "unrepentant" appearance, and knew that if he continued to fight with him, he would end up exhausted. He still cared about himself, he gritted his teeth, "Fine, you can take things to your lab, but you must be accompanied by our people."

"Okay." Sherlock agreed quickly, so that the good detective felt as if he had jumped into the pit again.

——Honest Mr. Inspector, you clearly have another choice, that is, not to let Sherlock dissect the heart, but to let Scotland Yard's own forensic doctor do it.

Before Lestrade had time to think about it, Irene handed over the letter paper and said to him: "I'm afraid you won't be able to test your fingerprints on this letter paper. He was writing this letter." It should be wearing rubber gloves, medical rubber gloves, am I right?" The last part of the sentence was said looking at Sherlock, and Sherlock replied: "Obviously, what you lack is self-confidence. A detective must have confidence in his own inferences and comprehensive observations: You missed one thing, he wrote this letter after taking out his heart, and there is still a residual smell of blood on the letter."

After Sherlock taught Irene, he quickly packed the package, and said to Irene who was still leaning over to observe the letter paper: "What are you doing in a daze, keep up."

"Come on." Before Irene left, Irene did not forget to smile politely at Inspector Lestrade, who was already confused. The Inspector couldn't help but look down at the very ordinary letter paper, trying to make himself become "Looking like a torch", suddenly a faint voice sounded: "Boss, I dare to bet on the color of your underwear, there must be something wrong with them!"

Lestrade: "...Anderson, you go and follow them!" Let Sherlock deal with Anderson's slut!

The results of the heart anatomy came out soon. There were no fingerprints or DNA of the murderer on the heart. The heart was cut off by the murderer professionally three to four days ago. According to the forensic examination, when the heart was removed, the victim was still alive.In addition, the age of the victim was narrowed down to 25 to 30 years old, female.

Lestrade immediately said to Donovan: "Go and check the records of people who have been reported missing in this area within five days."

"I'm afraid this is another Jack the Ripper imitation case! The suspect started the letter with "dearboss", and he also mentioned Chris Thomas in the letter, using very contemptuous words. Liz Thomas's crimes are an insult to Jack the Ripper. He also claims to be a fan of Jack the Ripper. I don't understand why people worship serial killers!"

"Because he's smarter than most of you." Sherlock pumped up his hatred as soon as he opened his mouth, and Donovan said angrily, "Because they're all mentally ill, just like someone!"

"I'm not a psychopath, I'm a high functioning sociopath."

"Um, you created a term of your own? It's really creative." Irene seemed to miss the point. She had done research on the Jack the Ripper case, and said her thoughts without getting too entangled in this point, "Jack the Ripper Really smart, he acted cautiously, everything was well planned, he even followed the victim for several days before he committed the crime, and he has not been caught by the police. Speaking of writing to the police, you know? It is also a letter to the police, But son of sam, btk, a serial killer as famous as jack the ripper, was finally caught because of it...?"

The reason why she paused at the end was because everyone except Sherlock was looking at her with burning eyes.Irene blinked, and silently added: "um, Son of Sam and btk are both American serial killers."

Scotland Yard squad: "..." We don't know, we don't know anything.

It was still Anderson, he said with a blank face: "oops, I got shot in the knee again."

The Scotland Yard team: "..." You just need to know it, so you don't need to say it.

Irene successfully stunned the Scotland Yard squad, and blinked at Sherlock who was looking at her. Sherlock...turned his head away, and then lowered his voice and said, "Why don't you say that they are both in their twenties?" The crime was committed in the 80s, but btk was arrested after 30 years."

Irene suppressed her smile, blinked her eyes to make herself look dazed and innocent, and said slowly, "Is that so? Maybe I just didn't remember it."

Sherlock snorted softly, but couldn't suppress the corners of his raised mouth.

Turning back to the case, Donovan quickly pulled out the files of the women who were reported missing within five days. There were three in total.Donovan printed out their files, and finally distributed a copy to Sherlock and Irene reluctantly. They were about to read it, and Anderson had already yelled: "I know who the victim is. Kate Evans, she had a previous arrest a year ago for public prostitution under the pseudonym Mary Kelly, and Mary Kelly was the last prostitute Jack the Ripper killed! Why do you think that about me? Please, I have done my homework too, okay?"

Lestrade: "Yeah."

Anderson: "..." He rolled his eyes and looked at Sherlock provocatively.

Sherlock read the files very quickly, and after reading three files, he gave the answer: "No, no, maybe." The one defined as "maybe" had the same answer as Anderson.

Lestrade immediately made a decision: "Donovan, go and check her mobile phone and financial records to see where she last appeared?"

Anderson: "...Boss, what do you mean? I said you just said "um", and the freak just glanced at it so casually, and you agreed? Did you take the wrong medicine today?"

Lestrade felt that he shouldn't be taking stomach tablets, he should be taking sleeping pills!

Sherlock glanced lightly at Anderson, Xiaoxiao rolled his eyes and shook his head, which probably meant something between "the IQ of the whole of London was lowered by you" and "the goldfish has never been surpassed". Coupled with language crushing: "Of course I didn't just watch it casually, I—" He was about to fire a series of cannonballs, aimed at Irene, cleared his throat, "I will ask Irene, my assistant, to explain to you."

Irene cooperated very tacitly: "Okay, sir." She showed the two files that were crossed by Sherlock, "First of all, this one, have you seen her dark circles? It means she is deficient in iron, The blood test of the victim's heart did not reveal any symptoms of anemia; as for this one, her actual age is 28 years old, but her photo looks like she is 38 years old, the wrinkles on her face are caused by smoking, and her heart is not like that It was as healthy as it was detected. So the only one who meets the standard is this Ms. Kate Evans."

Sherlock reservedly gave the evaluation: "Although the observation is not comprehensive enough, but you can judge it, you are considered qualified."

Irene automatically translated this sentence into "You are doing very well, very well", showing a bright smile, and said to Sherlock, "Thank you for your encouragement, sir."

Sherlock paused, then turned his head away.

The Scotland Yard team all looked like "I've seen a ghost", and Anderson, who was in charge of making complaints, bravely took up the banner of making complaints: "Is it really good that they act like no one else?"

Of course not!It must be burned!

And then... Sherlock and Irene were kicked out of Scotland Yard.Now that the murdered suspect has been identified, then it's their job at Scotland Yard, please, it's not like they can't solve the case without Sherlock, okay?Although the efficiency is a little low, they often take detours, and sometimes they are a little bit overwhelmed...but they still have professional qualities!

Irene looked back at the police badge in front of the gate of Scotland Yard, and pursed her lips: "So, have we been killed?"

Sherlock put the phone back into his coat pocket, with a different expression in his eyes: "That's not necessarily the case, let's go, I've found out where Kate Evans last appeared."
