Sherlock: "......"He looked at Mia speechlessly, and finally couldn't help asking, "How did you know that my leg was injured?"He was very sure of one thing, that he didn't reveal any flaws while walking. In fact, if the woman in front of him hadn't hit his leg, he wouldn't have known that his leg, which didn't hurt before, hadn't healed yet!So does this guy have a perspective eye? He can actually see that there is something wrong with his leg through a layer of clothes?Sherlock looked at the woman in front of him, and his heart quickly analyzed things related to her.When he saw the other party in Faulkner's territory just now, he deduced that this woman was not someone related to Faulkner, but an outsider. But at that time he didn't know that he would encounter such a thing, and he didn't analyze it carefully. Now if he observes carefully, he will find that there are many contradictions in the other party.The first is the hands.This is not a pair of very beautiful hands. There

Anne didn't want to interfere with her daughter's life, but things have been really turbulent recently. Does anyone remember that her husband died less than a month ago, and the murderer hasn't been found yet?The continuous stimulation made her want to control herself and not be so anxious, but if this kind of thing could be controlled, there wouldn't be so many mental problems in the world."Thank God, you're back safely!" Anne's tight nerves finally relaxed a little when she saw Mia coming in."I went to the dock and bought some fresh fish to make soup." Mia put down the basket in her hand and raised two fresh cod with her other hand. "I didn't meet Tom today, so I went by myself."The boss's son Tom, who I met in the grocery store before, has become their supplier? Specifically, various fish and chickens.Since Mia asked him to help find chickens for stewing chicken soup in Chinatown, he seemed to have opened a magical door. He also asked someone to make a list for Mia to help her

Putting aside the distance and language issues between India and Afghanistan, the handwriting on the two ingredient lists was very familiar to her. It was exactly the same as her husband's, with no difference, even some small writing habits, and it was Arthur's handwriting at a glance.But why didn't he take out this ingredient list before?Anne was confused for a moment. Her husband had been home for four years, not four days. Wasn't this long enough for him to use this formula in his own store?Mia looked at her like this and was also confused, "Is there something wrong?"She flipped through all the manuscripts and letters left by Arthur in the house, and practiced several times before getting the current result. It can't be said that it is 100% the same, but as long as it is not directly put into the machine, she is confident that the human eye can't find any difference. Although Anne's eyesight is very good, it should not have reached this level, right?"...... I just don't unders

"Officer Derek?" Mia hurried over to help Annie, who was still unconscious, down. "What happened?"Annie was unconscious, her hands and feet were hanging unnaturally, and Perry had a blank face like a wandering soul, which looked a little strange."………………Let's check Mrs. Colette's foot injury first." Derek looked exhausted, and after putting Annie down, he sat down to catch his breath.At this time, Mia noticed that the clothes on his arm that was blocked by Annie were stained with blood.Looking at his tired expression, she decided to take care of Annie's legs first.Lifting Annie's skirt, she saw that Annie's ankle was swollen so much that she could hardly take off her shoes, and her calves were also swollen.* : "......."I don't know what happened. She could get injured like this just by going out.Speechlessly taking off Annie's shoes, and making sure that there was no problem with her bones, Mia went to find some herbs to reduce swelling and blood stasis and crushed them to appl

Mia finally had time to spend time with Annie after she had cleaned up the table, and learned about the specific situation during the day."I have already discussed the supply with Long Susan. If the first batch of goods is good, she will continue to purchase from Colette Herbal Store in the future. We don't have to deliver the goods ourselves, they will come to pick them up." The thing that Annie was most grateful for today was that she had negotiated the business with the owner of the brothel before the terrible man went crazy, and did not let the business be delayed.Otherwise, she would have to negotiate the business with her daughter in her current state!Thinking of what happened in the brothel, Annie shuddered and her face began to turn pale. "It was so terrible. The police opened the wooden warehouse, and the man went crazy, waving a knife and slashing everywhere. When I fainted, he had already killed two people!"If Annie knew that there was a symptom of PTSD, she would defin

What light?She looked at Alaire in a daze. She couldn't say about other people, but she didn't feel any supernatural power from the gypsy witch in front of her, and it was impossible for her to discover the existence of the Scepter of Light.And even if the person on the other side was a genuine witch with extraordinary abilities, hiding her strength and discovering the Scepter of Light, the Scepter of Light was not the Scepter of Sherlock Holmes, so what did it have to do with investigating the case?Mia had two black lines hanging on her head, and was speechless about the nonsense of the lady in front of her. The so-called good reputation is simply a rumor that she is very good at talking, understands the situation, and can grasp the psychological state of the customer, right?But the money has been spent, and Ms. Alaire didn't charge a second time, so she pretended not to see it. After all, she is a very likely partner, so she still has to give her some face.Thinking of this, Mia

As time entered the end of the year, various cases in Whitechapel occurred more and more frequently, and the previous unsolved cases made the atmosphere in Whitechapel more solemn.Especially when the murderer who killed Reverend Clement was not caught and was suspected of committing more crimes, Anne strictly required Mia to return home before sunset and not stay outside for more time."God bless, can't Whitechapel be a little calmer?" Anne looked at the report in the newspaper, holding her chest in great pain?? This is a new problem she has developed after Arthur's death. She feels uncomfortable when she hears about the death of a person.Mia doesn't have any good way to deal with it. Psychological problems are not so easy to solve.

Although he was known for his ferocity and strength on the battlefield, Derek was still an ordinary person after all. In the end, he was hit on the head by someone with a stick in the chaos and fell to the ground.Mia kicked a burly man away and gave a right hook to a man next to him: "…………"Sensing the sound of wind coming from behind, she lowered her body, turned around and gave the other party an elbow, rushed to Derek's side and stretched out her finger.Fortunately, the strong pulse under the skin confirmed that the man was still alive. Only then did Mia finally have the energy to pull apart his hair to look at Derek's injuries. There was no bleeding on the outside, but it was hard to say what was wrong inside... "Miss Colette?" A familiar voice suddenly sounded. Mia looked up and saw an equally familiar face. Wasn't it Dr. Eric Kleinte? What was this man doing here? "I think you need a little help?" Eric's eyes swept over Derek who was lying on the ground, and the stick in his h

The two sides began a tug-of-war in negotiations."……………………10,000 pounds!" Leonard finally stood up and slammed the table, "This is the highest price I can offer. If you still don't agree, then we can only find another buyer!"He was really fed up with this family and couldn't wait to leave, shouting out the bottom line price given by the boss before."Deal!" Anne also stood up, "Sign the contract!"She couldn't stand it anymore. After several hours of tug-of-war, Anne felt that her brain was about to burn, and her eyes began to dizzy. If she continued, she was really worried that she would faint because her brain stopped working.So let it be, there is no more money to be squeezed out, so stop while you are ahead.As for the so-called pharmaceutical companies such as Metlin, they were all pulled out to be used as bargaining chips. If you really take the initiative to contact them, you don't know what the result will be.As the saying goes, a bird in the hand is worth a hundred birds

Especially after entering the door, he was arranged to sit facing the door, and the three people opposite him were sitting near the door, blocking the possibility of leaving and surrounding him in the middle, which made him feel very bad.This bad feeling was not much better even if there was an assistant beside him. After all, there was a man who smiled like a beast and a woman who smiled like a devil staring at him tightly. It would feel bad for anyone.Leonard's assistant thought so too.Even though he was not a timid person, he still felt uncomfortable facing the three people opposite him. The cold feeling as if being stared at by a large beast made him return to the memory of being almost stabbed to death by a wild boar in his childhood. He felt uncomfortable all over and could only focus on Anne, the only one who seemed to be more friendly? At least she didn't look so fierce.What a coincidence, Leonard thought so too.Rather than facing two fierce monsters, he would rather face

And this potion has almost no side effects.It has been circulating in the Women's Branch for nearly a year without any problems. This thing is much safer than other potions that claim to be able to treat various diseases with messy substances added. In fact, there is no need for a one-year safety period. As long as the person who uses this thing does not die immediately, it can be operated for pharmaceutical companies. Nowtheir safety will only make the selling price of this potion formula rise further.Then how to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies has become a crucial matter."An exclusive product with excellent effect. All the Indian series potions that Lang Susan has leaked are made by Colette Herbal Store. They didn't even register for patents!" The manager of Fred Pharmaceutical Company said to his boss, never mentioning how he knew about this potion.Going to the Women's Branch of Whitechapel with friends to have fun, such things, will only bring bad results if told to t

Susan was not worried that the little girl in front of her would not be tempted.She knew very well how talented Mia was, and what her talent meant to Colette's Herbal Shop. With her presence, Colette's Herbal Shop would leave Whitechapel sooner or later, and the Colette family would become richer.But don't forget one thing, the person in charge of Colette's Herbal Shop is still Anne Colette, and this person in charge has just married a policeman.This means that not only does she have a younger brother to share the property with her, but there may be more brothers and sisters in the future to share the wealth she has worked hard for. Can she really tolerate this unfairness?But this is already thinking about the good side. What's worse is that she will continue to be sucked dry by her family and give everything for this family.Because no decent man will marry such a disfigured girl, she can only rely on her family to better display her talents.

Mia, who is developing her own business, has not been working on new products in the laboratory in Colette Herbal Medicine Store, which is similar to a thatched house. Instead, she is sitting in the church to attend a wedding.After several months of pursuit, Anne and Derek finally officially got together and decided to get married. Today is the day of the wedding.As for the guests, Anne's side is Perry and several neighbors who have a good relationship with her. Little Arthur also served as a flower boy. After scattering flowers, he was held in Mia's arms and fell asleep in the hypnotic words of the pastor; Derek's side is a bunch of police colleagues, including Reed, the boss, and Jackson, the coroner. Everyone sat on the chairs in the church and watched the couple become a newlywed couple under the auspices of the pastor."In the name of God, I hereby declare you husband and wife, and the groom can kiss the bride." As the pastor's voice fell, Derek and Anne kissed each other, and

Mycroft thought his brother was talking nonsense.What common language could he have with a lady? Communicate about the types of pipes in the smoking room?"I assume that the lady you want me to investigate has no emotional connection with you?" Mycroft brought up the old matter.If this lady is someone Sherlock is interested in, then his task will be much more difficult. After all, London is a complex city, and Cambridge University is simply incomparable. It is not too difficult to find such a person, but the follow-up matters will be much more troublesome.Especially since his brother just mentioned that the other party was wearing mourning clothes, Mycroft had to consider a question. Which relative did this lady lose?Husband? Child? Or parents?The latter two are easy to deal with, but if it is a husband, then Sherlock's emotional journey is hard to say………………It can only be said that smart people think too much. Mr. Holmes just said a paragraph of descriptive language, and his bro

He knew how to describe his mood. He felt that the cold and damp wind of London's winter and the fishy smell from the corpse hit his face together, as if he was forced to breathe in the sea.For Reed, at least there was someone who could help him carry the body this time, so he didn't have to continue to be watched by people around him. This was also a good thing, right?"I have to say, you probably have a good relationship with people who died of suffocation. You always meet these victims." It was still Jackson, and it was still the same familiar rhetoric. He felt like he was repeating his work on a previous day. He wondered if there would be more bodies of people who died of suffocation transported to him in the future?Well, it can be said that there is no need to be so pessimistic, because Reed has decided which dock to go to in the future to avoid encountering this weird incident again.He was really fed up with seeing a dead body every time he missed his daughter. This gave him

Originally, the case became an unsolved case. The details were so exquisite, and the traces were swept away very cleanly. The imitators were caught, but the real person was not caught. This shows the level of the murderer.In such a situation, the murderer was exposed in an inexplicable manner, and died after being exposed. It really made people with a little brain figure out what was going on.Especially the murderer was a 30-year-old strong man, who was at the peak of his life. It was even more strange that he died and exposed the record.Mia also felt it was very strange. For this case, she had not been to the scene in person, nor had she learned any details about the murder. The amount of information was too much, and of course there was no way to make any judgment.To be precise, let alone the case of Reverend Clement's death, she couldn't make an accurate judgment. Even the so-called murderer's death that happened now, she was not sure whether it was a real accident or a careful

A group of dock workers looked at the body at Reed's feet, which was constantly shaken by the waves, and exclaimed and discussed the identity of the body.After all, it was a place like the dock, a good place to dump corpses, and everyone who knew would know.And this was not the first time a corpse was found here. If you really count it, this area is actually a holy place for finding corpses. There are always some corpses every year.Those who owed debts, were hurt in love, had accidents at home, couldn't live... suicides and murders, the water is a good place to go, once and for all, even the coffin is saved, what's wrong with that?T: "......"He closed his eyes, and missed his companion Derek especially at this time.If he was here now, the two of them could lift the body onto the cart and transport it to the police station, so why bother?So the first thing Derek, who was almost well again, did when he returned to work was to investigate the identity of the body."He has been in
