[Comprehensive British and American dramas] No.1 is called non-plural

Isaac didn't pay much attention to Sherlock's disappearance. On the contrary, he felt a little relieved after knowing that the Case had also been passed by him.He has always believed in Sherlock's ability, even if he cheated on Sherlock once in a while, he would only cheat his brother, so Isaac is more inclined to think that Sherlock found some clues, and another person single-handedly went up.

"I really have a deep love for Sherlock." Isaac said to himself, the fans are naturally dark to the depths, and there is no problem with their way of getting along!

Lestrade, who was standing on the sidelines and was also very anxious, almost choked when he heard this sentence accidentally, while John resisted the urge to complain, and he didn't know who did everything possible to use it after he and Sherlock had a fight that day. He tried his best to call up several surveillance videos from different angles, and even edited a final version on his computer. However, as a former military doctor who is honest with himself and others, John has to admit that after sharing the video, His mood improved a lot.

If this is love...

John found himself a little unfamiliar with the word 'LOVE'.

"Sherlock must be in some kind of trouble." The forensic doctor came out of nowhere and said unwillingly, "Last time, we made a wrong choice and added fuel to his bad situation. Could it be this time? Shouldn't we act?"

"In London, what can pose a threat to him?" John couldn't help but sarcasm, a person who jumped off a building in front of his eyes and should have died can appear alive and kicking in front of him again, John really can't think of it. Can anyone handle him.

"But that's Sherlock, Sherlock Holmes!" Anderson couldn't help emphasizing again, "Why don't you care?"

"I just cared too much before." John was annoyed by this kind of remarks that others thought Sherlock had the most important place in his heart, "That's why I was played like a fool for two years, now, I have to be good to myself a little."

"Girls, stop arguing, we have to go in and meet the parents of the missing children." Although Sherlock is the foundation, Isaac will not completely pin the hope on him, not to mention the professional ethics that must not be ignored Problem, if it was all up to Sherlock to solve the matter, Isaac could have guessed how Sherlock would mock him afterwards.

Isaac wouldn't have given Sherlock the chance, especially since Sherlock was more interested in talking about him after John had been kidnapped by him into his own group.

The Southey couple and the Hawthorne couple sat on the sofa in the reception room. The wife's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and the husband looked anxious. After finding the door was pushed open, they all looked at the door expectantly.

"Hi, hello. I'm Isaac Costa, from the FBI." Isaac made a short self-introduction, "We know your situation from the embassy. If possible, can you tell me the matter from the beginning?"

"Any clues about Edwin yet?" Mrs. Southey asked hoarsely.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Southey." Isaac didn't explain that they came here just after getting off the plane, "We just heard from the police that Edwin is the second missing child. Before Edwin, there was another child named Hardy. The child is missing too?"

"Hardy is our boy, yes, he's gone too," Mr Hawthorne replied.

"When exactly?" Isaac asked, sitting across from Mr. Hawthorne.

"I... I'm not sure exactly when, but it was a few hours before Edwin disappeared. Edwin disappeared in the afternoon, but Hardy disappeared in the morning." Mr. Hawthorne crossed his fingers against his forehead, which made the other It is easy to feel that he is blaming himself.

"What was the situation at that time?" Isaac frowned, feeling that something was wrong.

"I don't want to recall it again. The police have records. You can look for them." After speaking, Mr. Hawthorne buried his face in his hands, and Mrs. Hawthorne was touched by sad things again, hugging her husband and crying.

Isaac looked at Lestrade, and Lestrade's eyes wandered to John, who looked up, notebook still on his lap.

Then John handed the notebook to Isaac.

According to the transcript, Mr. Hawthorne took his son out for a ride early in the morning to watch the sunrise. On the way back, he received a phone call. For some unpleasant reasons, he didn’t want to get angry on the phone in front of the child, so he Leaving the car, leaving the child alone in the car.Then, he received another call. As Mr. Southey's agent, there was a problem with the venue of the signing in London, and he had to go to the scene immediately to negotiate a solution.Being a professional, he couldn't take the child with him, so he hesitated for a while, put the child in the car, then called the nanny they temporarily hired in London, asked her to come here to pick up the child, and took a taxi and left.As a result, after he settled the matter and went back, he found that the child and the nanny were not there. , she didn't find the text message until after she got up, and Mr Hawthorne realized that he seemed to have made a big mistake.

After coping with his wife with a strong face and a smile, he called a car and went to the place where he parked at that time.His rental car was still there, but the child in it was gone.He opened the car door and found an envelope left on the seat, which was a blackmail warning letter, asking him to prepare 100 million pounds and not to call the police, otherwise he would never see his child again.

He dared not tell his wife about it, but discussed it with Mr. Southey. However, as a new best-selling author, Mr. Southey is not as rich as outsiders think.But Mr. Hawthorne is both his good friend and his relative, so he is very loyal to help.Because the two of them used the phone to communicate, and Mr. Southey was taking the children to play in the children's playground in the shopping mall at that time. As a result, Mr. Hawthorne's son had no clue and he lost his son as soon as he turned around.

After reading the transcript, Isaac remained expressionless.The transcript resolved his questions about why Mrs. Hawthorne lost her child first but was able to go shopping with her sisters as if nothing had happened, but he still said that the awkward feeling this transcript gave him continued unabated.He believed in coincidences, but too many coincidences collided together, which made him feel very delicate.

"So, let me tell you about the timeline." Isaac calmed down, "First, in the morning, Mr. Hawthorne took Hardy out, and encountered business matters that needed to be resolved as soon as possible on the way, so he had to leave Hardy in the car and notify the nanny to pick him up. When Mr. Hawthorne finished solving the problem, he found that neither the child nor the nanny had returned. From Mrs. Hawthorne, he knew that the nanny had already asked for leave. Then you went to the place where you parked at that time. Hardy disappeared, and a blackmail letter was left there. Then you told Southey Mr. Southey asked for help. After Mr. Southey hung up the phone, he found that he had only answered the phone and left for a short while, and Edwin had disappeared."

"Is that so?" Isaac asked after finishing a long sentence in one breath.

"That's right." Mr. Hawthorne and Mr. Southey looked at each other and nodded.

"Then this matter cannot be hidden from Mrs. Southey. When a child is found missing, normal people will choose to call the police. Why didn't you do this?" Issac asked, "Mr. Hawthorne's failure to call the police can be regarded as the threat of the blackmail letter. But, Mr. Southey, have you also received the blackmail letter?"

At this moment, there was an embarrassing atmosphere in the air.

"What's wrong?" Isaac didn't know why.

"It's our fault." Mrs. Hawthorne said, "Claire and I are big fans of Sherlock Holmes and a big reader of Dr. Watson's blog..."

"What does this have to do with them?" Isaac cast a bewildered glance at the equally bewildered John, and Mr. Detective, whose expression was almost stiff with embarrassment, suddenly thought of a possibility, "You...don't you?"

Because they admire Sherlock and despise Scotland Yard's ability to work, they will not ask Scotland Yard for help if they have anything to do, but go to Sherlock...

If it wasn't for these two mothers who lost their children, Isaac would really like to shake the water out of their minds.

Wordless embarrassment spread.

"Cough." Isaac cleared his throat, "Since you went to entrust Sherlock, what did he say?"

"He said he would find Edwin, but when I went to Baker Street the next day, he disappeared." Southey's expression now seemed to be deceived by a false advertisement.

"Wait, did Sherlock just say he'd find Edwin?" Isaac interrupted.

"At that time, I didn't know that my Hardy was gone too." Mrs. Hawthorne was also regretful. "In London, Sherlock Holmes is more famous than Scotland Yard. Would the kidnappers think that we didn't keep our promise and hurt Hardy?"

"Don't worry, ma'am, Sherlock is full of eyeliners in this city, and it's not difficult for him to find someone." John couldn't help but comfort him.

"But he's gone!" Mr. Southey couldn't help but slammed the coffee cup on the table, making a loud crash.

He was so remorseful, as if Edwin's disappearance was all his fault.
