[Shenxia] cruel game

Sherlock and John returned to 221B, and found a package thrown at the door, wrapped in delicate floral wrapping paper and ribbon, with the words: Dear Sherlock received.No inscription or signature.

"Another gift? Or an invitation to a game?" Sherlock picked up the package and opened it, "My God."

Inside the package was a Barbie doll that is common in supermarkets, with black hair and wearing a red cheongsam.Sherlock wanted to pick it up, but found that the joints of the Barbie doll were sawed off, and it was broken into several pieces in Sherlock's hands.Barbie's head fell to the ground, her eyes stared blankly at the two of them.

"It's scary, isn't it." John glanced at the doll's head on the ground and shrugged, "Is this implying that Aiduo is in danger?"

"If Moriarty kills Aido, I can be disappointed in him." Sherlock said as he walked up the stairs. "Doll? Interesting, very interesting."

He picked up all the fragments of the doll and looked at them carefully in his hand.

"It's an old doll, but it's expensive. Probably been played with by a little girl for a long time, I smell baby lotion. It has cat fur, they have cats; there are black watercolor paint in the eyes. There are traces, indicating that the little girl planned to change the color of the pupils of this doll; oh, the cheongsam was also changed later." Sherlock said, "There are traces of damp, and it is completely soaked in water, and it is still covered with sand. It smells like water. It's too cruel to snatch a toy from a little girl and saw it into pieces like this. The name is written with a watercolor pen on the inside of the clothes, let me see... Grace Baker, the girl's name. "

"Maybe even the little girl was kidnapped?" John worried, "Whether it's Moriarty or Gabriel, it's possible to do such a thing."

"Don't worry, John," Sherlock strode around the room, "This doll reminded me, eyes..."

"John, maybe I made a mistake about one thing." Sherlock suddenly fell back and sat on the sofa in 221B, propping his chin, "Moriarty is resurrected, and Gabriel is going to challenge him——Eido What kind of role is it?"

"Do you remember the Black Lotus Gang? Sherlock." John sat opposite him and said, "And Yao Sulin, maybe Aiduo is just like her."

"No, no." Sherlock shook his head, "It's not normal for Aiduo to be hunted down by their leader. She must still have something to hide from us, but it doesn't matter. I think I made a mistake, She is not short-sighted. Her glasses are plain lenses, and contact lenses are also non-prescribing. Why would she do this?! Change her appearance and pupil color? She has been completely exposed, how can she still play such a clumsy trick? "

"Oh. That's really weird." John shrugged. "Maybe it's just her hobby?"

"No, no," Sherlock said. "There's something wrong with her eyes. Maybe she has some special ability. She can breathe fire without being covered by glasses, or she can shoot lasers that can smash people to pieces."

"Enough, Sherlock," John said, "do you think this is a sci-fi movie? What special powers do the eyes have? What do you need to be stared at unobstructed? Is it hypnosis! Hypnosis..."

As if suddenly enlightened, lightning pierced the dark sky.He and Sherlock looked at each other, unable to speak a word to each other.

"Yes. John, it's no wonder she looked at you so strangely. I thought..." Sherlock rubbed his chin with his fingers, "If she can hypnotize, it might make sense. I need some information." He put The notebook moved to his lap, and he started typing.After 10 minutes, he raised his head and closed the notebook, sighing in disappointment.

"No, nothing can be found. Her information is so perfect." Sherlock said, "There is no flaw at all."

He stood up and put on his overcoat. "Come with me, John. This time we're going to be the first to call Lestrade. If we're a minute late, the kid might freeze to death."

For the Bakers, who lived on Belvedere Street, it was just an ordinary evening.They put the baby - six-year-old only daughter Grace - to sleep, then headed to the master bedroom for an intense "workout" before they both drifted off into sweet sleep.What they never imagined in their dreams was that they were woken up by a shrill siren and door knocking just after falling asleep for less than half an hour.Mr. Baker went downstairs to open the door with a livid face while he was wearing the belt of his pajamas. By the way, he was brewing curse words in his stomach and was going to scold the disturbing policeman.However, as soon as he reached the entrance, Mrs. Baker's scream upstairs made him swallow all the foul words.

When Mrs. Baker went to check her daughter's room, she found that their baby Grace had disappeared from her warm and lovely small room.

Grace's bedroom is on the second floor in a well-lit place. The windows are open, and there are drainage pipes on the outer wall. People with strong skills can climb up the drainage pipes, open the windows and sneak into the room.Because the little girl was sleeping soundly and the parents were not in the room, he could take the little girl away without anyone noticing, and he didn't know where to take it.

Sherlock looked around the room.Grace obviously loves Barbie dolls, and she has them all over her room, along with all sorts of play tricks.

"Oh my God, the 'doll' is gone." Mrs. Baker said in surprise, "It was given to her by Grace's uncle, she likes that doll the most, and she even changed into a red cheongsam for her. "

Sherlock and John looked at each other.

"The Thames!" Sherlock said eagerly. "The doll has been soaked in the river. Opposite here is Jubilee Park. To the west of the park is the Thames. Find it quickly and look carefully along the river bank."

The police car roared through the park, and everyone looked serious.You must know that it is the cold end of January, a little girl was taken out of the warm blanket and taken to the cold Thames River, not to mention the mutilation case happened by the Thames River yesterday...

Jubilee Park is close to the Thames River, where the landmark building of London-the Millennium Wheel London Eye is located.Sitting in the car, Sherlock stared at the huge Ferris wheel outside the window glass, and the street lights and neon lights intertwined different colors of light on his face, making his expression look dull.

The police were lucky this time. They found Grace unconscious in a bush by the Thames not far from the London Eye.The poor little girl was wearing pajamas, half of her body was immersed in the river water, her face was blue, and there was a manual saw beside her.John hurriedly took the little girl out and gave first aid. Fortunately, she was still breathing, but her body temperature was too low. If she was found half an hour at night, she might die of hypothermia.Grace was taken away by the ambulance that followed, and Lestrade sent people to search the vicinity, but found nothing.The kidnappers have long since fled.

"Who did this? Not even a little girl!" John and Sherlock stood aside, scolding the kidnapper for his inhumanity. His clothes were all stained by little girls on him. water stains.

"Obviously. They intend to put Grace here to freeze to death, and then use a saw blade to dismember her body. If the body temperature is too low, the blood vessels will constrict, and there will be less blood left when dismembering the body. This is again on the river bank , it is easier to solve the problem." Sherlock finished in one breath, regardless of Sally's scream behind him after hearing this.

"But...why..." John shook his head, "Moriarty is keen on making explosions, and Gabriel just wants to eliminate traitors, so why would he attack a little girl?"

"It has nothing to do with this little girl," Sherlock took out the Barbie doll that was cut into several pieces from his pocket, "but..." The expression on his face was a bit elusive, "I probably know Gabriel style of doing things.”

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the city gradually fell into silence, just like the London Eye, the stationary Ferris wheel behind Sherlock and John.At the same time, in the highest cockpit of the London Eye, there were actually two men sitting facing each other.The sixteen-seater cockpit is very spacious, but the whole cabin has a strange sense of oppression.

One of the men kept staring out the window, overlooking the night view of London; the other stared at him in return.After a long time, he seemed unable to bear the silence of the other party, and finally said: "Okay, daddy is fed up with your pretending to be deep. Don't you have anything to tell me?"

The silent man finally withdrew his gaze, looked at Moriarty who was sitting opposite him, leaning forward, looking at him from bottom to top, and said coldly: "The police have already found that poor little girl. "

"Oh." Moriarty shrugged indifferently, "You know, I gave Sherlock a little hint."

A smile appeared on the man's face: "Why do you want more people to participate? Because you are afraid?"

Moriarty sighed and shook his head: "I'm afraid of being bored, so I want to add a little spice to the game (these two words are sung)."

"I don't play games. But if the opponent is you..." The man glanced at Moriarty, and his face turned to the window again, with a flash of a smile, "I'll accompany you. Besides, you're bound to lose."

He looked at the night in London, the Thames flowing in the city more than 100 meters below.He said to himself: "London, it's so beautiful. I want to hold it all in my hand."

Moriarty smiled nervously: "Unfortunately, you will never set foot here." He took out his phone from his pocket, clicked something, and the huge London Eye suddenly turned slowly.

The man raised his eyebrows, showing a rare look of surprise, and looked at Moriarty.
