[Comprehensive Movie] Goddess of Dispute

Chapter 88 Detective Sherlock 12

The efficiency of the Scotland Yard police is not high. Compared with handling cases, most police officers think that afternoon tea is more important.So before getting a map of the London camera division that afternoon, Kelly, who was a little impatient, went directly to the person in charge, and insisted on a traffic light distribution map and a detailed map of London, planning to analyze it with Belen himself.

No, the mental work should be mainly done by Belen.

Through cross-comparison with London's population divisions, Belen circled several key areas, and took the map on Lestrade's desk.But at this time, it was already dark, and Lestrade was still working overtime to comfort his superiors. The explosion of Harrods department store yesterday caused the director to bear a lot of pressure from capitalists, and this incident even alarmed the mayor.

So when he saw a clue, he didn't care about making trouble for the outside detectives who were robbing jobs. Without a word, he immediately decided to dispatch all his police forces early tomorrow morning to head to the several locations circled by Belem.He even forgot to contact his consulting detective to see if he had some new leads.

The police forces across London were dispersed and distributed in various sparsely populated deserted areas of London, while the consulting detective and his partner, who had been forgotten by Scotland Yard, came to Chinatown alone.

"Brothers and sisters? How can you be sure that the other party is a brother and sister? Besides, they are just passers-by you glanced at, and I didn't even notice their existence...I have to say, Sherlock, you may be a bit extreme in doing this, because So far we haven't found any evidence or clues about them related to this case or Alpha." Watson followed behind Holmes and couldn't help sighing.

"You're right, John." Holmes walked out of the largest restaurant in Chinatown, found a chair by the side of the road, and sat on it. "First of all, it's obvious that they are brother and sister. Their way of getting along is similar to that on the street. These couples are different, in fact it might not be correct to say that they are brother and sister, because their relationship is more like the relationship between me and you."

Watson suddenly didn't know how to answer Holmes's metaphor.

"Secondly, yes, I have no evidence or clues, I can't find any clues, but that doesn't mean they have absolutely nothing to do with the case. How naive are you to think that a couple can hardly find anything in London? Traces of activities, almost nonexistent 'brothers and sisters', are they absolutely innocent? No one is absolutely innocent, even you like to change your girlfriend every month."

...Why did he feel that last sentence was a personal attack?Watson, who was sitting next to Holmes, suddenly felt his fists itch.

"I can't find any evidence. This is actually a kind of evidence." Holmes looked straight into the distance. Watson followed his gaze and saw a ragged tramp, who also saw them. He walked towards them with all his might, and stretched out his hand in front of Holmes.

Holmes took out fifty pounds, which was not a small amount to send a beggar. Watson immediately realized that this homeless man was actually Holmes' intelligence network.

"There are not many Chinese brothers and sisters living alone here." He accepted the money with satisfaction and opened his mouth, "I heard from an 'old colleague' that there were four pairs of brothers and sisters living alone in Chinatown before, and two of them moved out. , there are two left, they are in the front of the community, living in five buildings and eight buildings respectively. Of the two that moved out, one left 20 years ago, it is said that they moved to Ireland, and the other ten years ago Moved out, went to Dartford, don't know if it's still there now."

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and left, without any intention of staying for a moment to continue the exchange.

Holmes also stood up immediately: "Go, John."

"Where?"

"Go home. To-morrow we'll see Dartford."

"Why don't you go to the neighborhood in front of you first?"

"No need. Come on, John, use your brain, okay, your brain will rust if you don't use it. If they really live in that complex, then we should have found out when we asked in the restaurant just now ’” Holmes maintained his usual cynicism and strode towards the subway.

Of course, Watson still had some brains. The pair who moved to Ireland couldn't possibly be the brother and sister Holmes met yesterday, so he just kept his mouth shut, lest he would make fun of himself and be ridiculed by his partner.But Dartford... that's a long way.

It rained again the next day, and the two rushed to Dartford in the rain.However, when he reached his destination, Holmes stopped suddenly. He seemed to have thought of something, frowned suddenly, looked at the taxi that brought him here, and hurriedly walked back and forth on the sidewalk for a few minutes. step.

"Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!" He shouted excitedly, but the population of Dartford area is not large, and in addition to rainy days, it is impossible for there to be too many pedestrians on the street, so he suddenly shouted Sherlock Holmes did not attract too many people's attention, but it surprised Watson.

"Calm down, Sherlock, what did you think of?" He hurriedly pulled Holmes who was circling in situ.

"It's impossible for those brother and sister to live in Dartford. Even if there is a pair of Chinese brother and sister in Dartford, it can't be them! Damn, I have overlooked this detail. I shouldn't have overlooked this detail..." Holmes looked Looking at the wet ground, the expression on his face is not sure whether it is annoyance or irritability, "How can a taxi that travels a long distance in a rainy day be so clean? Taxi...Taxi!"

Sherlock Holmes, who was angry at himself for making a mistake one second, suddenly grabbed Watson's shoulder the next second, and looked at him excitedly: "We came here for nothing, but I thought of it, Watson ,I found it!"

"...what?" Watson just understood why Holmes said that they made the trip for nothing, because if the brother and sister had taken a taxi from Dartford to central London early in the morning, then the It can't be that clean, after all a long drive in rainy weather can leave the car covered in mud.However, he couldn't figure out what he was excited about now.

"The license plate number! It's in my mind, as long as I look for it, look for it..." Holmes pressed his hands to his temples, trying to recall the license plate number of the taxi he had only glanced at the day before yesterday.

However, he didn't have this time to recall.

At the moment when Watson looked at Holmes in a daze, from the corner of his vision, he saw a man in a black coat suddenly appearing behind Holmes. a gun!

Although he has long since retired, Watson's battle-tested instincts are still ingrained in his bones. Without hesitation for a moment, he immediately hugged Holmes' shoulders, and using the power of his feet and his own weight, the two fell to one side. alley between houses.

In the next second, countless bullets rained down on their previous positions.

Damn Tama!How could that Alpha appear here? !

Watson yanked Holmes up with all his strength, and the smart fellow immediately cooperated with him, got up from the ground, and ran towards the end of the alley at full speed, almost without his saying a word.The constant stream of bullets pursued them until they ran out of the alley and onto another street, probably because they ran out of bullets.

"It's a trap!" said Watson.

"I never doubted the loyalty of my network!" Holmes disagreed.

Well, now is not the time to argue.Watson told himself this, because the moment he looked back, he saw the fleeting fire from the alley!Damn, he must be planning to use his magical "bomb"!

And at this critical moment, a series of bullets fired from the sky crazily blocked the entrance of the alley, and in the rainy environment, it even stirred up a thin layer of smoke and dust.A helicopter appeared behind the two of them at some point, and countless bullets were fired from its machine gun.

Immediately afterwards, an all-black car appeared next to the two of them, the door was opened before the brakes were applied, and the person in the car turned out to be Mycroft!

"My dear brother, you seem to be in a bit of a panic. Do you need help?" At this tense moment, Mycroft still had time to tease Sherlock. Of course, his expression was not as relaxed as usual, but very serious.

"You're half a step too slow." Sherlock said stubbornly, but his reaction was quick. He and Watson quickly got into the car, and the car immediately sped up and sped away.

Behind him, the soundproof windows could not stop the heart-shattering explosion—the moment the car drove away, the helicopter in the sky suddenly exploded!

"Now, can you understand what I said, you two are not from the same world?" Mycroft looked away, and looked at the naked Sherlock seriously, "Whether you accept it or not, now, You must be under my protection."

After a busy night, Li En spent a very leisurely time.According to Eris, the Butterfly Effect always creates a little interesting inertia, which makes the development of things unexpected and reasonable.They have been busy for most of the night, and the results of this work will gradually be revealed in the past two days. They don't need to do other things, they just need to sit back and enjoy the results with peace of mind.

And he, in the next two days, had a deep understanding of what Eris meant by "interesting inertia".The police squad, as she had expected, threw all its forces into a futile search.They might be able to discover Alpha's hideout, but when they do, there's a good chance Alpha won't be there.

Of course, it's also good that he happened to be in the hiding place, and the two teams fought like this, and they happened to reap the benefits.However, Eris seems certain that Alpha will definitely leave his hideout.

"Why? Of course it's because of Sherlock Holmes. Moriarty's goal, or the apparent goal, is to get Alpha to attack Sherlock." Yes, Eris has even found out the name of the npc these days , in fact, the method is very simple, you can get it by mixing into the underground world.

And the plan she had been working on for most of the night actually revolved around that consulting detective.

"Hey, my good brother, don't get excited, isn't it just that the person who was commissioned by the consulting detective to investigate us happened to be killed? What a big deal, he can suspect, but there is still no evidence. When he is about to get access to the evidence, that At that time, everything was out of his control."

Li En still remembered the bewitching and mocking smile on Eris' face when he said this.In fact, what she meant was very obvious, that is, everything was under her control.

Scotland Yard's police force has been withdrawn, and Sherlock has no support.He suspects that Alpha is not behind the three cases in the evening, but he has no evidence. According to his character, he cannot seek help from the police. He will only investigate by himself, which makes him and the police farther away.

On the second day after a busy night, Eris and Li En strolled around London, and the first stop was Chinatown.Using her superb acting skills and insights that made Li En feel ashamed, Eris quickly found a homeless person who had stayed in Chinatown for a long time, and inquired about the population of Chinatown from him.

"Huh? What a coincidence? We also moved out ten years ago. I remember I was in my teens at that time." Eris' eyes widened exaggeratedly.So, she chatted with others like this.

Incidentally, a consulting detective was lured into Dartford, where Scotland Yard was much more powerless.

Alpha would be ashamed of his fourth tier if he didn't seize this opportunity.

Very good, it's time for the Lord to come out.Eris, who was sitting in a small coffee shop on the street drinking coffee, looked at the helicopter that suddenly exploded not far away, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
