Chapter 559 Detective Team in Action (2)
Johnny the Justice lived on the best street in the East District. This place was like an oasis in the desert. The streets were clean and tidy. There were no homeless people or warblers. There were only a few businessmen selling hot coffee and homemade pies by the stove.
"Sir, no money."
Looking at the two guests in front of him, a half-grown young man said with a restrained face.
And Johnny didn't hesitate, after taking enough food for two people, he threw a silver coin on the table, clutched his waist, and walked towards the largest single-family apartment.
Wide gates, lawns and gardens, and three extremely fierce guard dogs.
"The young man just now has good craftsmanship and is very honest. Even when the "Corn Law" caused the price of flour to remain high, he didn't cut corners, and he didn't use cat meat to shove it..."
"At that time, in a certain block of Whitechapel, there was a barber named Sweeney Todd. After murdering a customer, he asked his neighbor to make it into a pie and sell it."
"Fortunately, I discovered it in time, otherwise more people would have been victimized."
After getting acquainted with each other, this detective, nicknamed Justice, showed his chatty nature. Along the way, he told Pan Ming about his glorious history of running across the Eastern District and making crime nowhere to hide.
It's just that the movements of covering the waist and grinning really spoil the image.
"Unfortunately, it's still not as good as that guy in the West District."
clatter——
The keychain drew a perfect parabola in the air. Johnny turned on the kerosene lamp, lay on the sofa, and said with emotion: "If I can solve this serial murder case, I can overwhelm him."
West End?
Although Johnny's force value is not very good and he is a bit talkative, Pan Ming still feels that the other party is not simple. From the attitude of the street vendor, it can be seen that he should be very respected.
"Who is that person?" Pan Ming asked curiously.
"Charlotte Holmes, a guy with a lot of eccentricities." Johnny said with a slightly sour tone.
For a moment, Pan Ming had the urge to abandon this guy and rush to Baker Street immediately.
However, he was not Duke after all, and he thought of Holmes as an ordinary person who could be friends with anyone.
"All right."
Pan Ming suppressed his impulse, shrugged his shoulders, took the hot cake with meat filling from Johnny Justice, and said while eating, "Then why did you invite me here?"
In that dark alley, the two used a strange posture to clear up the misunderstanding.
Regarding the fact that he was accidentally injured, Mr. Johnny showed admirable generosity and invited Pan Ming to sit at home.
"As you can see, I am investigating the serial murder case in the East District, and I have obtained many key clues, but one person's power is limited after all."
Speaking of this, Johnny couldn't help sighing. He was used to fighting alone, but this case was more difficult than he imagined. With the help of a strong assistant, the case could be solved faster.
The most important thing is that yesterday afternoon at the Scotland Yard headquarters at No. 4 Whitehall Street, Johnny saw that all the competitors liked to report to the group. In order to increase efficiency and get the bounty as soon as possible, he could only break the principle.
Besides, aren't principles meant to be broken?
On the side, Pan Ming, who was sipping his coffee, put down the metal cup and seriously considered the feasibility.
The burly man in front of him claimed that he held many key clues, and his reputation could rival that of Sherlock Holmes.
Are these believable?
"It can be seen that you are very interested in this case. With the combination of strength, wisdom and experience, it is only a matter of time before you catch the mastermind behind the scenes."
Johnny struck while the iron was hot.
Hearing this, Pan Ming couldn't help being moved, it was just a verbal agreement anyway, so why not agree?
If Johnny the Justice is really capable, then we can carry out in-depth cooperation. If not, we can find a suitable occasion to make friends with Holmes.
Of course, no matter what, Lu Li and Duke must definitely get in touch.
Sensing that Pan Ming, who had a mysterious background, had lost his attitude, Johnny said again, "I have dealt with a few cases of this kind and made a summary of the case. I locked them in the cabinet in the study on the second floor. Let's go together." Go up and have a look?"
In order to win over this ally who came to his door, Mr. Johnny burst out with enthusiasm.
Seeing this, the balance in Pan Ming's heart began to tilt violently. He followed Johnny Justice and walked upstairs.
A bust of a monstrosity.
A totem depicting runes.
Intricately decorated chests.
An ancient picture scroll from the mysterious East.
If Duke came here, he would definitely feel that Justice Johnny and Mr. Holmes have the same taste, and they both like these weird things.
And Pan Ming is very satisfied with this. He likes to deal with professionals. The bounty is actually not important. The point is to gain a sense of presence and participate in various major events...
Suddenly, a roar full of anger and astonishment interrupted his thoughts.
"Damn bastard!"
"The house has been burglarized!"
Almost at the same time, the three hounds who were pacing leisurely in the courtyard became crazy. They glared angrily, jumped onto the window sill, rushed into the room, and kept sniffing around the opened counter.
Then, it showed two rows of extremely sharp teeth and barked towards the northwest.
That should be the direction in which the thief escaped.
But the angry and righteous Johnny quickly calmed down. He knew the origin of the hunting dog he used to watch the nursing home. Because of this, the identity of the thief was worthy of deliberation.
Who will it be?
One face after another flashed in Johnny's mind, and finally locked on those colleagues who were at the headquarters building of Scotland Yard yesterday.
Especially Lu Li, Duke, and Yang Yuanyuan, the three selected contenders.
With this in mind, Johnny began to check the cabinet. None of the money or possessions were taken away. The thief didn't bother to hide the target. He or she only took away a case summary book.
That's the equivalent of a memoir.
It records all the cases encountered by Justice Johnny in his decades of practice, some have been solved, some have become unsolved cases, some are trivial, and some are enough to subvert ordinary people's perception.
"It seems that they are really colleagues. What disappeared is the memoir from seven to four years ago."
Johnny clutched his lumbar spine and his face was gloomy. He really didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to him.
And the three black-backed hounds were still barking their teeth. They didn't notice the thieves breaking into the house, but they could smell the residual smell.
"It looks like you need help."
A confident smile appeared on Pan Ming's face, which made Johnny Justice calm down a little, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, I have to catch that damned bastard as soon as possible before the heavy rain dilutes the smell, would you like Help?"
"my pleasure."
After the words fell, the three hounds rushed into the vast night and started hunting across half of the city.
at the same time.
At 221 Baker Street, Duke, who was talking happily with Holmes, didn't realize that this place was about to become the center of a storm.
Not to mention that close friends would reunite in this way.
