[Comprehensive] 221B's dead house girl

Chapter 149 The same is the end of the world [13]

Just as Connie was about to speak, a big hand appeared in front of her.She froze for a moment, looked up, and saw Sherlock's gaze looking away.

This is his characteristic gesture when signaling to others to be quiet.

Connie followed his gaze and saw a girl in a white coat walking in from the door, her skin glowing white.

At first glance, it is the kind of photo killer, with a small face and big eyes, paired with white and glowing skin.

It's really enviable.

Connie muttered, and saw Sherlock stepping up.

Alice saw the strange man standing in front of her froze for a moment, and wanted to take a step to the left to pass him, but the man opposite also took a step to the right, she didn't care, and took a step to the right.

"...Sir, what's the matter?" She raised her head and looked at the man, whose indifferent gaze was like a perspective light, which surprised her.

It seems to be the glass wrapped in the hardest glass in the world, it is crystal clear but also the sharpest.

For a moment, Alice had the illusion that every heart was pulled out for careful observation.

"Alice? Why are you here? Didn't you say you didn't feel well yesterday?" Darwin stepped up and asked.

Alice looked at him: "Eugene, I'm fine, I'm coming to work."

A gleam flashed in Sherlock's eyes.

He suddenly said, "You like him, so why did you cheat on Esper?" This sentence hit Alice on the top of her head like a thunderbolt, completely turning her into a fossil.

Connie's eyes widened subconsciously, and her eyes flicked back and forth between Darwin and Alice.

"What nonsense are you talking about!?" After a while, Alice asked angrily, her brows were tightly frowned, but her ready-to-move lips exposed her, just from the slight expression, Sherlock could know how panicked she was now.

"Really? Am I talking nonsense?" He glanced up and down at Alice, and finally his gaze rested on the white coat that Alice was wearing.

"You just took a shower, and you also carefully groomed your appearance, in order not to make yourself look more haggard, and you even used lipstick for this." At this point, Sherlock turned and pointed to the three lipsticks.

"You use bright red, in order to enhance your temperament. All your clothes are new, but your white coat is the only one that hasn't been washed, and therefore, there are still traces of Esper on it." He raised his eyebrows, and there was a trace of indifferent pride leaking from his brows.

He reached out and took a strand of black hair from Alice's left chest pocket, and took out a transparent pouch from the pocket with the other hand, put the hair in, and held the bag in front of Alice's eyes Shaking.

Alice's face suddenly became ugly and terrifying.

Connie looked at Alice's pretty little face—this was Esper's affair.

"What's going on?" Darwin's voice trembled.

His eyes were fixed on Alice, but she avoided Darwin.

silence.

The silence is heartbreaking.

Connie looked at Darwin's face, and suddenly felt that the two were a young couple who liked each other but hadn't made it clear.

Then why did Alice cheat on Esper?

Connie thought of the half-decomposed corpse, and then looked at Alice's pretty little face, and suddenly felt incomprehensible, even if Darwin might not be so masculine... No, he is quite enough now.

"..."

Connie watched in astonishment as Darwin walked forward without saying a word, hugged Alice and kissed her.

...Smith?

"I know, you must have been forced." He was serious, with a gentle voice.

The friends in the laboratory were stunned for a moment.

Alice suddenly burst into tears.

Only then did Connie realize that both of her eyes were red.

Dull lower eyelids were revealed from the wash of tears.

This made her haggard a lot.

"Don't cry. It's okay." Darwin comforted Alice.

Sherlock retreated to Connie's side without saying a word.

"Do you want to make a bet?"

"What bet?" Connie looked over in confusion.

"About Darwin choosing himself or Alice." He pursed his lips and smiled suddenly.

Connie looked at him inexplicably, hesitated for a moment: "Then I will choose Alice."

After a pause, she asked again, "What do you mean?"

In the next second, she got the answer.

Darwin let go of Alice and walked towards Sherlock.

"I don't think you are a shareholder who came to invest, and this lady is not your daughter either." There was a certainty in his tone.

Sherlock nodded, just looking at him.

Darwin sighed, "Come with me."

The three of them came to his office.

"What exactly are you here for?" He stared at Sherlock.

Connie looked at Sherlock's face, and consciously took over the conversation: "We are for the Esper case."

Darwin's eyes fell on Connie.

"You suspect that Alice did it!?"

Connie glanced at Sherlock again, but he still had no intention of speaking.

"She must be suspected." Connie didn't know whether this matter had anything to do with Alice, but she personally didn't think it had much to do with it, but she couldn't say that, so she gave an ambiguous answer.

"No! It's absolutely impossible to be Alice!" Darwin vetoed excitedly.

Connie replied calmly: "Is there any evidence to prove that at least she has an improper personal relationship with Esper, and based on the previous situation, she may be forced, then she has a motive."

Seeing Darwin's pale face, Connie wanted to comfort him.

However, the moment he spoke, Darwin spoke first.

"I did it. Esper...I killed it." As soon as he said it, Connie froze.

"what?"

"I said, I killed Esper! I knew about his relationship with Alice a long time ago, but I'm so jealous...Alice deserves better!" Darwin said unbearably, with a faint expression on his face. madness.

Connie froze for a moment: "So, where were you the day Esper was killed?"

Darwin was stunned for a moment, and stammered a little: "I, I'm in the city."

Connie looked at him, remained silent, and frowned: "Darwin, you don't have to make such impulsive testimony just because you like Alice. I think if Alice is innocent, then the justice will never let her be deceived." It's an injustice."

Connie felt that it was because Darwin was so hot-headed that he was about to come up to take the blame for Alice, and she was a little moved immediately, so she said a few words of comfort.

When the sofa moved, Sherlock suddenly stood up, and Connie looked at him: "?"

"Go back. Since Mr. Eugene's testimony is so, we should also report to the police and let the police know."

Let the police know.

Connie was stunned for a moment.

How did Sherlock say that?

"Please, please make Alice innocent." Regarding this, Darwin did not panic, on the contrary, he was very diligent.

"If there is a need for me, I will go to the police station at any time."

Sherlock walked outside, and Connie followed him: "Sherlock, you won't really make Darwin a scapegoat, will you?" Of course she knew that Sherlock would not.

But she really can't guess what he thinks now.

Behind the slowly closing door, a man in a suit showed a very faint smile.

Sherlock said as he walked, "He has an alibi."

Connie stared: "You know again?"

He glanced back: "He must have, otherwise what's the point of this performance."

Performance.

Connie pouted: "Anyway, I don't think it's him."

"Well. Not him." Sherlock nodded.

Connie's eyes lit up: "Then Alice?"

Sherlock looked at her, and it took him a long time to spit out a "NO" under her gaze.

neither.

Connie looked up at the sky, so brain-burning.

"About the previous bet, do you need to change the answer?" He asked suddenly.

Connie froze for a moment, remembering his words: "Why did you change it? Didn't Darwin's actions just now explain it?"

A chuckle escaped Sherlock's throat as the taxi stopped.

"Really? But in my opinion, his words and deeds just now proved the opposite of your answer." He jumped into the car.

Connie rushed in after him and grabbed his sleeve.

"explain!"

"Don't make me guess."

"I'm stupid."

"Also, please tell me in concise and clear language."

"Because I'm stupid."

Driver: "..." Did he happen to meet the odd breakup scene that happens once in a thousand years?

Loli and uncle?

Underage and facial paralyzed face! ?

Sherlock: "..."

"Say it... please." Connie acted like a baby shamelessly.

You can still use it at this age.It won't work in a few years...

"FUCUS. Alice who had an affair with Esper. Darwin, the general manager in charge of outsourcing business. Isn't this obvious enough? He seems to be taking the blame for Alice, but in fact he is just putting himself out of the relationship first. His behavior And an alibi would make those idiots completely clean him and the whole thing, both morally and legally." He opened the window.

"In addition, all his actions were too fast, as if arranged, and seemed to be a normal reaction, but facing the crime of murder, even if he was really innocent and wanted to take the blame for Alice, he would not Not even the slightest bit of hesitation—it’s human instinct to be greedy for life and fear death.” He took a breath, “Besides, I only talked about the affair between Alice and Esper, instead of accusing Alice of murder. He took the initiative to confess the crime, as if he had already determined that Alice must be the murderer of Esper. Isn't it strange for a person who likes her to have such a first reaction."

Connie was stunned, thought for a moment and nodded solemnly: "Indeed, if someone accuses the person I like of being a murderer, then my first reaction must be to run away, or firmly deny it!"

Sherlock snorted coldly.

"But I didn't expect... Sherlock, your emotional intelligence is so high, and you can even observe this kind of reaction so carefully!" Connie said adoringly.

Connie turned her head and looked at her quietly: "This has nothing to do with emotional intelligence, it's all in the book."

After a pause, he added: "I can add some to your book list for next year. You have a good grasp of basic logic."

Basic logic.

Connie glanced at her face.

"..." Basis, your sister!

It's a pity she didn't have the guts.

"So what should we do with this case next?" She changed the subject a little anxiously.

Sherlock glanced at her knowingly: "Darwin is the entrance, and the person behind him is the mastermind who murdered Esper. As for the confirmed candidate... let Mycroft hack the server of Myanmar Central to find out, or hold back, we will Thinking about the next crime, it should be placed on the boy's father without accident."

"If he doesn't have an alibi."

Connie was a little puzzled: "Why not before that?"

Sherlock bent his lips: "It's the smartest thing to do nothing, after all all the flaws come from actions."

Connie thought about the several cases that were tied together. Before Sherlock arrived, no one had any clues, so she understood. After all, such cases usually can only be closed in the end.

Become a headless mystery.

The murderer was close at hand, and Connie was a little excited: "If you solve this case, will you be able to find that girl?"

Sherlock didn't return her, and seemed to be staring out the window in a daze.

Connie pouted and closed the window on the other side. The window couldn't be opened. She was about to ask the driver, but when she looked up, she saw the driver's old and sweaty face in the rearview mirror. It was the forehead, and the sweat couldn't stop flowing down the sides.

She tilted her head in doubt, is it so hot?

The author has something to say: The author decided to speed things up and let Connie grow up!

Strive for [-] words to allow Connie to grow into an adult and enter the stage of love= ̄ω ̄=
