[Zhongyingmei] Devouring the sky

Lucas is the sales manager of a company. He is very busy with his work. He has endless documents and calls every day. Even after work, he never leaves his mobile phone. arrive.Because of this, Lucas' wife Camilla was very dissatisfied with him. She hoped that Lucas could spend more time on family life instead of being busy with work all day long. No time to communicate with family members.

Lucas has a hard time saying this. Camilla is a full-time housewife, and what she likes to do most every day is shopping. His son is now attending an expensive private kindergarten, and the annual optical fee is a huge expense. The only source of income for the family is his salary. How can he do it if he doesn't work hard.

Lucas and Camilla explained that the competition in the workplace is very fierce now, and it is impossible for him to sit in the manager's position without worrying about it all the time. If he doesn't work hard, someone who works harder than him will squeeze him out.But Camilla never went out to work after graduating from university. She couldn't understand Lucas' situation at all. She thought these reasons were excuses made by Lucas for herself, so she quarreled with Lucas again and again. This time, even though Lucas still had a video conference to hold, he left his son in Lucas's care, and went out to attend his best friend's party by himself.

Lucas's son Jimmy is a very cute child, but he is sometimes as willful as his mother. After Camilla went out, Jimmy kept pestering Lucas to let him play with him. Lucas disagreed. He kept crying, making Lucas dizzy.Lucas had no choice but to temporarily change the video conference to a conference call. Then he took Jimmy to the game area of ​​a nearby hypermarket and asked him to play in it by himself, while he stayed in the corner for the meeting.

At the beginning, Lucas kept paying attention to Jimmy in the distance, but when the meeting gradually began to progress to an important part, he still inevitably ignored Jimmy, and then it was not until he hung up the phone that Lucas realized that he had almost Jimmy hadn't been seen for half an hour.

Startled by his carelessness, Lucas immediately ran to the fence to look for Jimmy. He scanned the kids quickly, but he couldn't find him. He looked around the play area three times without seeing his Jimmy. .

"Jimmy! Jimmy!" Lucas realized that something might be wrong, he began to call Jimmy's name anxiously, hoping to hear Jimmy's response as usual, but this time he was destined to be disappointed, he called it a dozen times His Jimmy still didn't respond to him.

Lucas was in a hurry, he jumped into the play area and started looking for the children, but no, no, his Jimmy was not among those children.

"Jimmy, don't scare Dad, come out quickly, Jimmy, please!" Lucas kept shouting, he was already a little lost in his anxiety.

Lucas' strangeness quickly attracted the attention of the store staff, and they ran over to ask him what happened. Lucas grabbed the arm of one of them and said, "I The kid is gone, did you see him coming out of the play area, he was wearing a Spider-Man hoodie and blue pants today."

"Sir, I'm sorry, we didn't notice, please don't worry too much, maybe he just ran to the shelf, let's go find it together, how long has he been out of your sight?" After listening to Lucas, The staff who were caught were not too worried. It is not uncommon for children to disappear suddenly on this floor. Generally speaking, it happens three or four times a day. Children always have little resistance to toys. Parents often If one is not careful, they will run away.

"Okay, okay." Lucas nodded again and again, rationally told him that he was really out of control now, but he couldn't control himself at all, he had never been flustered like this before, and he had never blamed himself like this.

Some nearby parents heard Lucas say that the child was missing. Although they were not too worried, they still couldn't help calling their children to their side. Soon, a woman discovered that her son was also missing.

"God, Daryl, where are you baby? Darryl! Help me find my kid, I promise he was here 5 minutes ago!"

When the staff of the hypermarket saw the situation, they immediately took the two parents to the toy area to look for it, but they couldn't find it, and the two children did not stay in the toy area.

At this time, the staff was still not too worried, they said: "Maybe the children just ran to other floors, the candy store on the second floor is also very popular with children, or the children's clothing area on the fourth floor, we will send someone Go find it. Mr. Lucas's child is wearing a Spider-Man hoodie, Mrs. Brown, what are your child's characteristics?"

"He's wearing a red jacket and has curly brown hair. Please go find him, will he run out alone?" Mrs. Brown asked nervously.

"If he is alone, he should not be able to go out. We have security guards at the door, and they will not let a child leave the store alone." The staff said.

Several people left the third floor quickly. Emma looked at the backs of the two parents, hugged Fenrir and kissed his forehead, and then said to him: "Honey, you have to remember, never Just leave me too far away, or I won't worry."

Fenrir nodded, kissed Emma back, and said, "I'm a good boy, I won't run around!"

"Well, our Fenrir is the best, do you want to play for a while? We still have 10 minutes for you to play."

"Yes!" Fenrir nodded, turned and ran back to the game area.

Alison also kissed Jasper who was writhing in her arms and said, "Promise me that you will not leave my sight at will, or I will withhold your pocket money for the next month."

Jasper wiped his face and said impatiently: "I promise Mom, let me go, I'm going to play."

"Okay, brat, we should go back after playing again." Alison patted Jasper's butt helplessly, then watched him run to the ocean ball pool, and jumped in with a fancy jump. Splash several ocean balls.

Everyone on the third floor didn't pay much attention to what happened just now, but soon they discovered that the matter might not be as simple as they imagined. After about 10 minutes, the radio in the mall announced that two children were missing After hearing the news, the staff of the mall also ran over to tell them that the mall had called the police, and hoped that the parents who were in the game area just now would not leave at will, because they might have seen something important.

The parents are all very cooperative. After all, it is not a trivial matter for two children to disappear at the same time. Moreover, they also have children, and they are heart-to-heart. If something happens to their children, they will also hope that someone will help.

In the living room on the second floor of the house at No. 221B Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes was squatting on the sofa like a big cat. Looking at the door, it seems that he is thinking about some important national affairs.

Of course, as a person with anti-social personality tendencies, Sherlock doesn't care about national affairs, all he cares about is crime and criminals.But recently, the high-intelligence criminals in London seem to have hibernated in their holes, and none of them came out to commit crimes, so Sherlock can only start to look through the old cases in his thinking palace, although he repeats each case. I have read it countless times, but there are still some memorable places, which are more interesting than those ridiculous so-called cases in the newspapers.

"Boring, boring, boring~~~ Why can't the criminals make a schedule, for example, one person commits a crime on [-], another commits a crime on [-], and the rest of the Sundays can be chosen according to the mood, which will definitely improve a lot of efficiency. " Sherlock said after reading a case file.

Watson, who was sitting by the side and carefully wrote his own blog, couldn't help but turned to Sherlock when he heard this sentence; "What kind of efficiency is increased, the efficiency of killing people? Sherlock, it's wrong for you to do so, and there are fewer cases." Good thing, if criminals come out every day, how many people will die in London in a year?"

"5820 million people die from various causes in the world every year, of which only 80 people die from violent crimes, which is only 1.37%. Even if all criminals in London come out to kill every day, this proportion will not reach 1.4% , so you don't have to worry so much, John." Sherlock said nonchalantly.

"God, Sherlock, there are only so many people in London, and the whole of the UK is only 6370 million people. More than half of the British people die in one year. If the criminals are more diligent, the British will die in less than a year and a half. " Watson said in surprise.

"John, John, John, why don't you use your little head? The 80 I said is the number of deaths in the whole world in a year, not in the UK." Sherlock changed his posture and lay on his back on the sofa Said with a longing look on his face: "Of course, if so many people can die in the whole of the UK in a year, and the people who kill them are criminals with high IQ, I will be quite happy to see it. It will be very wonderful, just like Every day is like Christmas."

Watson was very speechless about his expectation. He closed his blog and said, "Give up, Sherlock. If such a dangerous element appears, your brother will definitely eliminate him as soon as possible."

"John, falling out of love is not the reason why you can use a dead fat man to spoil my fun." Sherlock continued to rest his hands on his chin.

After hearing this, Watson stood up and said angrily, "Sherlock, I told you not to observe me anymore. This is my privacy. And I'm not broken in love."

Sherlock completely took Watson's anger as a pleasure. Instead of restraining himself, he continued, "Of course you haven't lost your love. You just found out that the other party has found someone who is taller, richer and handsomer than you after two months of flirting with you." Boyfriend, and you've always been just a backup."

The honest Watson was gasping for breath after being bullied. He really wanted to say fuck you to Sherlock, but his previous experience told him that doing so would only make the little bastard more proud, so he squeezed his fist a few times, Turn around decisively and prepare to go back to your room to sleep.

But he was stopped by Sherlock every few steps:

"John, help me get my phone."

Watson paused, then turned around resignedly.Even though he was very reluctant to do Sherlock this small favor now, Watson knew that if he didn't agree, Sherlock had a hundred ways to toss him in turn.

"Where did you put it?"

"The right pocket, thank you." Sherlock replied without moving.

Knowing this would happen, Watson pursed his lips, took out his phone without saying a word, and looked at the caller ID on it.

"Sherlock, it's Inspector Leicester."

When Sherlock heard this, he jumped up from the sofa, grabbed the phone and said, "Grace, I hope this time it's an interesting case."
