"What do you need, Miss Holmes?" The police officer standing by the door was not very old, and looked about the same as Athena.

"Alek, isn't it?" Athena looked at him with squinted eyes. The little policeman almost vomited at the scene of the crime just now, so Athena was very impressed. She didn't expect him to be killed by Lester. De sent to protect himself.

Looking at his pale and immature face, Athena didn't even know whether she should protect him or he should protect herself.

Alek was wearing a newsboy hat, but even that couldn't hide the curly, messy black hair beneath it.

He nodded honestly and said: "Yes ma'am, my name is Alek, Alek Delson. Mr. Detective asked me to guard the door, and also ordered you not to go out until he came back. If you need anything, please let me know, and I will solve it for you."

The young man's sincere and determined expression made Athena feel a little fondled, but this kind of affection did not last for three seconds before she went straight out of the door.

When Alek saw it, he quickly chased after her and stood in front of her, emphasizing repeatedly and persistently: "Mr. Inspector said you can't go out, I have to protect you..."

"Alek?"

"Yes, miss!"

Alek licked his lips slightly and his confused look was really cute, but Athena still said: "I'm just going back to Catherine's room to get something soon, okay? You can go with me, okay?" ?”

"But Mr. Inspector told you to stay in the room and not to go out. Everything will wait for him to come back..." The young man stood in front of Athena, his tall and strong figure was definitely not some kind of forced entry good object.

Athena thought about it for a while, and suddenly folded her hands on her chest and said, "Alek! I told you I was just going to get something, and it's not about getting out of the cabin. You don't have to be so rigid and inflexible, right?"

"What do you want, I'll go for you!"

"You?" Athena curled her lips and said with concern: "I'm afraid you can't stand that scene and turn around and you can't help it, you say..."

As soon as these words were said, Alek's face became even paler, and Athena also realized that what she said was really out of her mind, so she stopped talking.

As a police officer, he almost vomited at the scene of the crime, and now he is still being "concerned" by a young lady... It is naturally very uncomfortable both in face and in his heart.Shame and anger coexisted, but Alek still mustered up the courage again and again and whispered: "I can! You say... I will go!"

"Why are you so stubborn?" Athena shook her head in confusion, and casually stood on tiptoe and whispered, "My underwear... are you going to get it? Are you a man going to help me get it?"

Almost in an instant, Alek took two steps back in a panic, the little face that was whiter than paper just now suddenly turned red, Athena pursed her lips and shook her head, then missed him and went straight to Catherine's room.

She slowly opened the door, and the police detectives inside immediately woke up and stared at the door when they heard the noise, but when the door opened and saw her, they immediately relaxed and returned to their original state, chatting on their own.

Among the two police detectives in the room was a little man with sly eyebrows and mouse eyes. He looked at Athena with such a flattering smile, and even asked, "Miss Holmes, what do you need?"

Athena only glanced at him slightly, presumably this little man was the trash that Catherine said behind her back that she treated Lestrade like a little boy.Thinking of Athena's displeasure towards him, she chewed on her boss' tongue...

what!

Athena looked around, and this room was indeed a room without windows as Lestrade said, and the door that was just opened was intact.

Could it be that, as Lestrade said, the murderer entered by knocking on the door and exited after closing it?But even so, how could the blood-stained murderer in the room not be stained at all?

Without windows, one has to breathe...

"Then there should be vents!" Athena murmured to herself, then turned to look at Alek and asked, "Where are the vents?"

"What? The air vent?" Alek pointed to the bathroom inside but asked inexplicably, "Didn't you come to get... to get things? What are you looking for for the air vent?"

Athena didn't answer, but walked quickly to the bathroom. The sink was full of bright red blood and a knife was thrown in the sink.The tools of the crime were thrown into the pool in such a big way that the murderer might even wash off the blood stains on his hands and face before leaving.

I just hate that the forensics technology in this world is too backward!

She moved the chair placed in the bathroom over and stepped on it directly to open the vent on the ceiling when Lestrade's voice suddenly came from behind her.

"What are you doing? Didn't I tell you to stay in the room and not come out?"

Athena shook her head helplessly, and said: "You came just in time, vent! Have you checked?"

Lestrade came over and didn't answer, but the little man with a mischievous eyebrow and a mouse eye behind him snorted and said, "What's there to check for the air vent? Isn't it just cockroaches at most? Such a small air vent can only barely penetrate one." Human head...could it be possible that the murderer could still get out of it?"

The little dwarf started laughing, his words and laughter were full of contempt and even ridicule towards ignorant women, but Athena suddenly cursed: "Shut up! Who asked you?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone present was silent. No one thought how this beautiful lady like a vase could suddenly become so fierce.

Lestrade didn't show any surprise, he just stretched out his hand and said, "You come down first!"

"You'll have to check Inspector Lestrade!"

But he still said stubbornly: "You come down first!"

Athena stared blankly at him without moving, and the two of them became deadlocked for a while. Seeing that she was not moving, Lestrade turned angrily and closed the bathroom door behind him.

Immediately afterwards, without further ado, he started to hug Athena directly. Although this intimacy was nothing to a modern person like Athena, Alek, who was innocent, was frightened to the point of sluggishness.

"Didn't I tell you to stay in the room and not go out? Why are you disobedient? Do you know that the murderer is still on board, and you may be in danger at any time?" Lestrade's serious look was different from before, until At this time, the expression and state that matched his actual age seemed to be revealed.

Athena asked extremely sensitively: "What's wrong? What did you find?"

Lestrade lowered his head slightly, and said after a while: "We found another body in the restaurant, it was a waiter who was strangled to death, and all his clothes were stripped off. The murderer must have changed into the clothes of the deceased." It was only by dressing up as a waiter that I was able to enter Catherine's room without being conspicuous."

"It's really him! I almost passed him by!" Athena leaned against the door panel, feeling a little numb down her spine.

almost!I almost ended up with Catherine!

"So I told you to stay in the room quietly and don't go out. What can't I say when I come back? What's so special about this vent, it's worth your fanfare..."

Athena interrupted: "Think about it! The whole room is covered in blood, even if the murderer opened the door, how could he not be contaminated at all? If he didn't take it out, then he must have left his clothes in this room It's hidden! You've checked all the places, but the vents aren't there?"

Upon hearing this, Lestrade quickly stepped on the chair and stood up and directly lifted the metal cover of the vent, but it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything, so he directly stretched his hand in.

"How's it going?"

Lestrade turned his head and looked down at Athena and nodded lightly, "You're right!"

After speaking, he threw down the two clothes that were almost blood-stained.

Alek and Athena squatted down almost at the same time and looked at the blood-stained waiter uniforms on the ground, but Alek suddenly asked: "The murderer took off his clothes and hid them in the vent after killing people." ...What about him?"

"What?" Athena asked, turning to look at him.

"Murderer? What is he wearing? He can't go out naked, can he?"

Athena frowned slightly and said suspiciously: "Could it be that he...is still wearing clothes under his clothes?"

Lestrade just picked up the blood-stained uniform and shook his head: "Impossible! Even wearing a few more shirts inside will not help with this degree of blood staining, not to mention that there is almost no way to wear anything else under this uniform."

Alek: "Then the murderer...brought a suit of clothes?"

"It's impossible! I didn't see any clothes or bags when I passed by him." Athena shook her head.

Lestrade only opened the door and handed the bloody coat to another policeman before he looked at the little man and said indifferently, "Besides cockroaches, there are other things. Rusco!"

Athena just curled her lips and complained: "Detective Rusco, I think you'd better keep your mouth shut in the future! To save yourself from losing such a errand job, it's better to work hard when you have time to be courteous and gossip. It would be nice to earn a few pounds, don't you?"

Alek couldn't help laughing out loud when he heard this, Rusko gritted his molars and looked at her in disbelief, but because of the face of Lestrade and Holmes, he couldn't say anything and just turned his head. Just out the door.

At this moment, Lestrade turned his head to look at Athena, and said with a serious face: "We have to have a good talk!"

"What are you talking about?" Athena replied indifferently, her eyes are now busy looking at the room again, "How do you think the murderer escaped? Since the clothes are left here, he must not be naked If he went out, what did he wear to go out?"

"Athena Holmes!" Lestrade called her name again, raising his voice, "I said it! We need to have a good talk!"

"Talking about what?" Athena finally turned her head to meet his eyes.

Lestrade frowned and said indifferently, "Talk about you!"

"I?"
