It's really a ghost [Comprehensive]

Chapter 13 Goldfish in London 13

221b Baker Street

"Sherlock, did you know that you have special texting skills?" Irene took out her newly configured mobile phone and showed it to Sherlock who was lying on the sofa, and there were two text messages from Sherlock.

Come to Baker Street quickly if it’s convenient——sh

Inconvenience also comes——sh

"Oh." Sherlock responded casually, opened his eyes and glanced at Irene casually. It was just a casual glance at first, but it turned into a fixed glance after realizing the problem.He narrowed his eyes and asked casually, "Who did you fight with?"

Eileen said "Oh", and then it was gone.

Sherlock sat up from the couch in a "carp upright", took out the mobile phone he threw aside and flicked it, and said in a sparse and ordinary tone: "Oh, maybe I should remind you that as an assistant, you You should follow my footsteps instead of doing other things halfway. Now, you have also seen the scene of the crime, what do you think?"

Erin lowered her eyes and said, "What I can tell you is that this is indeed a copycat case."

"Of course it's a parody case! What made you think that—" Sherlock suddenly remembered the new world that Irene had opened up for him, "Oh, oh, it seems that there is something else I don't know You must be kind enough to tell me about ghosts.”

Irene thought for a while and answered him: "I can tell you, but we haven't solved the imitation case yet."

"This imitation case is only worth five points, it's boring." Sherlock looked up, his bright and clear eyes returned to Irene again, and was about to say something when a new text message came to his phone. He looked at the content of the text message and gave up for now. Take it from Erin, on how she's determined "it's just a real human impersonation case" plan, stand up: "Now we're going to solve this boring parody case."

"and many more--"

"What's the problem? I don't think I need to remind you of your professionalism as an assistant." Sherlock said it confidently, as if there were really regulations, no, as if the assistant position was real .After he finished speaking, without waiting for Irene's answer, he put on his coat and scarf smartly, and was about to go out, as if he was sure that Irene would follow.

But when he went down the stairs to the door, and he didn't hear footsteps behind him, the corners of Mr. Detective's mouth were smoothed away in an instant.However, when he opened the door of 221b, Irene's voice came down the stairs hurriedly behind him. He opened the door and said with some impatience that "as an assistant, you let the boss wait for you": "It's not an example. How could I not know when you started drinking coffee?"

"Refreshing."

Sherlock turned up the collar of his coat, and snorted dissatisfied with Irene's concept of stealing, and asked carefully after solving this boring imitation case! "Taxi!"

Taxis are readily available.

After waiting for the taxi, Irene asked Sherlock, "Where are we going now?" After waiting for a while, she didn't hear Sherlock answering her. She glanced at Sherlock who seemed to be struggling with the phone keyboard, and thought about taking In a flattering tone, he repeated the question just now, but this time he added a pronoun at the end, "Sir?"

Sherlock answered her condescendingly: "The murderer is a pretentious man. He tried his best to imitate Jack the Ripper perfectly. From this time, the victim he chose was Kate Evans, who used to be named Mary Kelly, and The address of the crime scene, Dorset Street, and the nicks and cuts on the victim's body can be seen. In this case, the tool he chose for the crime would not be an ordinary knife, but the same one used by Jack the Ripper The tool of crime remained the same: a Liston knife, with a narrow and long blade, six to eight inches.

In fact, our murderer did use a Liston knife, as evidenced by the fragments of the hilt of the weapon I found on the victim's body, as well as the incisions made on the victim's body.This is the point. There are less than a hundred Liston knives in existence today. If the murderer wants to obtain such an antique knife, he must find a merchant who sells special antiques.I asked my informant to inquire before, and he sent me a text message just now to tell me an address, which is where we are going now. "

——This is probably the legendary "I say one sentence and you have ten sentences waiting for me".

Irene quickly adapted to Sherlock's speaking speed, and reacted quickly after Sherlock's big speech. She faked a cough and said slowly: "I assume you didn't follow the scene of the crime." "What did you bring back, such as a fragment of the murder weapon handle?"

Sherlock blinked and said slowly, "I assume you have also completed the task I gave you?"

Irene replied solemnly: "Of course, great teachers make great apprentices."

Then the pair of "teacher and apprentice", who also managed to get away from the scene of the crime, looked at each other and smiled, without saying anything.

When he arrived at the shop that bought special antique goods, Sherlock got out of the boss with a few words. A week ago, a customer bought a Liston knife from him.

"What are we going to do now? Pretend to have accidentally seen the customer list in the drawer behind the counter?" Irene blinked and asked Sherlock in a low voice. She began to feel a little sleepy. The effect of getting black coffee is not particularly great, so she decided to draw a dozen talismans to refresh her mind when she got back.

Sherlock scanned for a week, and quickly analyzed the structure of the entire store and everyone in the store, including customers, shopkeepers, and shop assistants, and quickly analyzed the feasibility of stealing the customer list without attracting attention. gender program.

"Actually, I have an idea." Irene tugged on Sherlock's sleeve, looked up at him and said to him.

Sherlock lowered his eyes to look at her, asking a silent question.

Under the faint yellow light in the antique shop, the bright, sharp and frightening edge of the detective's body was softened, making him seem to return to the world; and his assistant, Comrade Xiao Ai, who came across the ocean, Because there was a little bit of water vapor in the eyes due to sleepiness, which made the black and white eyes have a hazy halo.One lowers the head and the other raises the head. In the eyes of others, it is a beautiful scene that makes people smile when they see it.

The shop owner, who didn't know that his customer list had been missed, stepped forward and picked up a product in front of the two of them, "This is an antique handcuff newly collected in the shop, you--" The rest Needless to say, he just showed an ambiguous and understanding smile, do you understand the rest, after all, everyone is an adult.

"I know, from the Oxford Prison that was closed in [-]." Sherlock didn't understand the "very connotative" smile as usual, but he did understand the material and place of origin of the antique handcuffs.

The shopkeeper also misunderstood, and after scanning Sherlock and Irene, his smile became more connotative, "Then you should take it all the more, and go to the Malmaison Hotel, they changed the original cell in Oxford Prison into a guest room. "

Irene understood before Sherlock, her originally pale face flushed quickly, and before Sherlock could say anything, she grabbed his hand and dragged him out.

That's right, it's procrastination, Sherlock is powerless to resist at all, but that's not the point, the point is that after seeing their interaction, the shopkeeper's connotative smile got bigger, well, that doesn't seem to be the point either.The point is, after Sherlock asks Erin what and why—

Irene looked down at her toes, and after kicking a small stone on the side of the road, she explained silently: "I think the handcuffs are not only antique handcuffs, but also fun handcuffs, which can be used in the Malmaison Hotel in the same way. .”

"Oh...oh!" Although Sherlock is an older virgin, it doesn't mean that he has no experience in this field. On the contrary, he may have done detailed research on sexual knowledge, oh, of course it is like studying 243 kinds of soot Research.After a brief silence, Sherlock said in a bored tone: "God, what's in their straw heads, it's so boring."

Sherlock's attitude of "not being surprised by honor or disgrace" infected Irene. She resisted the drowsiness that had come up, put this little embarrassment behind her, and coughed with the back of her hand against her lips and said, "I can make the paper bird Go in and check the customer list, but it will take a little time, my current mobile phone has not been modified, and there is no way to perform a real-time replica."

do you remember?Sherlock once deduced that Irene had studied mechanical engineering. She also repaired locomotives by herself. barrier!Listening to her tone, it is not the first time she has done such a thing.By the way, Sherlock's reaction also deepened the impression that "Sherlock is asexual".

Sherlock's eyes became bright, and he suppressed the excitement of discovering the new world and asked, "How long will it take at least?"

"It depends on the thickness of the customer list—" Before Irene finished speaking, Sherlock waved his hand indifferently: "I have a better idea." He walked to the alley next to the antique shop Half a minute later, Sherlock's anxious and panicked voice sounded in the alley: "God, there was a robbery at No. 12 antique store in Blackston, and someone was injured. Please come here as soon as possible!"

Oh, by the way, he's calling the police.
