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

"It's a bit strange." After learning about the general situation, Isaac returned to the office prepared for them, and suddenly said this sentence.

"There's always the parent who likes to be smart, but the child is innocent." Walsh has a child, so he takes extra care in these kinds of cases.

"However, how likely are the four parents to agree to a decision that is almost child's play?" Black couldn't understand, "If there is one parent, or even two parents, it is possible to make such a joint decision, but now the two parents For the couple who lost their child, they jointly decided not to go to the police, but to go to a private investigator...”

"A consulting detective." John couldn't help correcting.

Black was taken aback, "Consulting a detective? Is this kind of detective more professional?"

"Only in the world," John said.

"Well, it can be said that if this consulting detective doesn't make trouble midway, he can reach a BAU team by himself." Issac gave a pertinent evaluation, "Listen to them, the person who made this decision is The two ladies, who are fans of Sherlock Holmes, have unparalleled confidence in him. The two men also have a clear division of labor, guarding the phone while their wives go to see Sherlock, waiting for the kidnappers to contact them."

"It's a pity that they lost the detective." Walsh said without hesitation, "In the end they chose to call the police."

"This may be a turning point instead." Isaac was very relieved, this is London, the home of the British government, "John, you are familiar with London, you took Walsh and Black to the mall where Edwin disappeared, Will, you Come with me to see where Mr Hawthorne lost Hardy."

Of course, it was Lestrade who led the way for Isaac in the end.

"It's really troublesome for you." Isaac was a little flattered, after all Lestrade thought he was a detective, and if he took the matter of leading the way more seriously, he would just call a police officer. If it doesn't matter, the car GPS is not a decoration.

"There are two children, and a Sherlock. I really hope to get them back as soon as possible." Lestrade himself has a big heart. If it was someone else, he might feel very uncomfortable about the result of his country's case being involved by foreign personnel, but For Lestrade, he is more focused on results, and some personal feelings can be ignored.Besides, after experiencing the little bastard Sherlock, he really didn't think there was anything he couldn't stand. "Although I have checked the scene, maybe some ideas from the profiler will bring me new inspiration."

Look, such a good man, who would not like him.

"I think we can be optimistic, after all, this case has caught Sherlock's attention." Isaac is still full of confidence in Sherlock, "Although that guy can make people gnash their teeth in hatred, seriously, he hasn't messed up anything. "

Lestrade didn't think so. What hasn't Sherlock messed up?Oh, the image of that little bastard was really packaged by the media so well that even the visitor from the other side of the ocean was blinded even if he had a slight friendship with Sherlock.After thinking about it, he chose some cautious words:

"Sherlock was a pain in the ass for a long time, until he met John, and he got better and better. But, you know, that incident more than two years ago was quite a big deal, and John now chooses not to Forgive, Sherlock is back to the bad state he used to be - as long as he is happy, he doesn't care about others, or even his own safety."

"High functioning sociopath." Isaac remembered the term that Sherlock favored so much.

"Yes, but the environment is much better now than it was then. Everyone knows that Sherlock is actually a good man." Lestrade couldn't help showing an amused smile, "Even Anderson is convinced by him."

————————————————————————————

The cars at the scene had been towed away long ago, and only some indentations remained on the lawn.Those indentations Isaac handed over to Will to deduce what happened here, and then he took Lestrade around, hoping to find a camera or other electronic device that could record what happened here.

"The camera here is broken." How could Lestrade let this happen? When Mr. Hawthorne couldn't bear the pressure after Edwin disappeared and Sherlock also had no news, he finally chose to ask the police for help. Lestrade investigated immediately It didn't happen on set, and unfortunately, it didn't work out as expected.

Isaac took a look at the surrounding environment. This is a public park with dense vegetation, and the canopy of some trees can even cover the road below from the sun. One can imagine how popular it will be in summer.Of course, that wasn't what Isaac noticed, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the chirping bird with its head occasionally peeking out among the branches.

"Someone once told me that there is a kind of bird that only favors one kind of tree, where they will nest and mate and multiply. This bird is hunted because of its beautiful feathers, and its number is declining. A British bird The anthropologist was heartbroken by this situation and appealed to the world many times. Finally, he won the funding of a philanthropist and used some means to find a comfortable home for those birds in London." This popular science story Not Reid told Isaac, but Ann told him many years ago.The reason why Ann knew this was because she made a contribution in it back then, and those trees are now growing lush and lush, and she also has a share of credit.

No way, who made her already a well-known botanist at that time.

"So?" Lestrade thought there might be some good news down there.

"Because the number of such birds is rare, scientists will use some methods to observe their living habits and study their reproduction and growth. This is a long-term work that requires energy, so in order not to miss anything, they They will choose to install some cameras in fixed positions to replace their eyes." Issac said as he walked, and determined the possible places where the cameras could be placed according to the position of the birdsong, "Oh, there is one!"

Lestrade squinted before finally seeing a camera camouflaged as a branch through the foliage, showing only the rest of the camera.

Although Isaac didn't know exactly how many bird's nests there were, he was not bad at listening to the voices and distinguishing positions. He was relieved after finding three cameras in one go.He couldn't believe that none of the three cameras could capture useful clues.

Because the three cameras were all personal belongings, Lestrade did not directly ask someone to climb the tree to remove the cameras, but instead contacted the owners of the cameras to communicate.And the bird expert was also very cooperative. When he heard that his camera might have captured clues about a child kidnapping case, he offered to let the police check the video. There was no need to remove the camera, because those cameras were all high-end. A thing that can wirelessly transmit signals to a computer.

"I was on a business trip during this time, and I haven't checked the latest video. You can go to my assistant, and he will give you the video." The expert said.

Having got what he wanted, Isaac and Lestrade were going to immediately go to the university where the expert was, and Will, who was observing the traces, came to a conclusion.

"The traces on the ground were not messy at all. The person who took the child away was very natural and organized. He didn't arouse the child's vigilance and took the child away smoothly." He said, "Maybe it was an acquaintance who committed the crime."

"We also checked the car, and there were no signs of prying." Lestrade added, "Hardy's palm prints on the rear window were left on the window. The car's seal is very good. We suspect that Hardy is It's not that it causes abnormalities in the body, such as lack of oxygen, or excessive temperature."

"This is the fault of the person who left the child alone in the car." Will always has a soft heart for the child. "If this behavior is found and prosecuted, he is likely to lose custody of the child."

No matter how many compelling reasons there are for leaving a child alone in a car, children's rights organizations will definitely teach anyone who does it a lesson that will last a lifetime.

"Maybe it's worse." Isaac had to think in a worse direction, "The footsteps are not messy, the car is not pried, it is likely that the person has the car keys. Before that, the child has been in the car for a long time." Uncomfortably tapping on the car window..."

"You suspect that Hawthorne directed and acted?" Lestrade's eyes widened. "God, this is crazy, that's his son. If the child is not feeling well, what he needs is to take him to the hospital, not take this Hide it!"

Isaac watched Lestrade silently.

"Perhaps, that child cannot be rescued." Will said calmly. "If that's the case, he's more than just deprived of custody."

"I hope I'm thinking too much, Hawthorne shouldn't be that bad." Isaac also hoped that what he said was false, but, in the previous meeting in the reception room, Hawthorne really felt contrary to him.

Fortunately, this time Isaac didn't have a crow's mouth. The three of them rushed to the university and checked the video. Although the camera was not facing the direction of the car because of the angle, it still captured a scene of a woman leaving with her child in her arms.Later, the woman got into another car and drove away.
