what do you think sherlock

Chapter 20 A mature detective should learn to fight head-on (two in one)

"Mr. Lestrade, I need you to do me a favor," Di Renjie turned to Lestrade and said.

"What's the matter, Mr. Watson, have you thought of a way?" Lestrade said with some surprise.

"Is it there?" Di Renjie pointed to a direction, "It's a blind spot. As long as we can send a little firepower to the inside of the hospital through here, we can destroy the enemy from the inside."

"There is indeed a dead end there, but all the passages that can go there are under the control of the Russians. And even if we can pass by without anyone noticing, these Russians are likely to leave a large number of guards inside, and a small number The input of fighters may not be of much use."

Lestrade asked with some doubts.

So Di Renjie patiently explained his own analysis to Lestrade in detail.

"What you say is very reasonable, and I am completely convinced," said Lestrade suddenly, "but how to get in is still a difficult problem to solve."

"Don't worry, I have learned some special skills on the battlefield. In addition, if I find that the momentum is wrong, I am sure to retreat without alarming them." Di Renjie said in a confident tone.

"Then...if you are really sure..."

Ever since the incident in the bar, Lestrade had treated Di Renjie differently. Seeing Di Renjie confidently guaranteeing the ticket, he felt more hopeful.

Di Renjie patted Lestrade on the shoulder with a smile: "Please believe in the strength of a veteran who survived the battlefield in Afghanistan."

"But when I act, I need you to do something to attract their attention."

"Of course, there is no problem at all." Lestrade assured his chest.

"In addition, if I can successfully sneak in, I will show up at the window upstairs in the hospital. You must bring someone to keep an eye on it."

"Shortly after I showed up, there might be gunshots inside the hospital. At that time, the attention of the Russians will definitely be drawn away. They thought that the accident came from inside the hospital, and I will make a bigger noise later, and then you will attack suddenly and rescue the hostages at the door."

"Okay," Lestrade nodded solemnly.

After the action was arranged, Di Renjie set off immediately, and he quickly lurked to the expected position, where he could see the interior of the hospital corridor through the mirror, which was very empty and no one was paying attention.

His plan is very simple. The words of his true name give him the ability to travel through time and space, but the limitation is that he can only use this ability to teleport to the location he can see.

It is obviously impossible to directly use the ability to cross the inside of the hospital, but if it crosses the outside of the hospital, it will definitely be exposed to the eyes of the spies.

But if he used the mirror located in the corridor, his eyesight would be extended.

And through this extended line of sight, a space that is neither noticed by the police nor the gangsters is exposed to his vision.

Theoretically, this space belongs to a position that is within his line of sight but not noticed by others.

He hadn't tried this kind of operation before, but he thought it was worth a try.

Anyway, as long as he feels something wrong in the process of activating the ability, he will stop immediately and change to another plan to save Sherlock and the innocent people in the hospital.

After thinking clearly, Di Renjie was ready to do it. He first took off his coat and put it on the ground, then took out the revolver from his pocket, clenched his hands tightly, and was ready to pull the trigger at any time.

A moment later, Lestrade sent a signal to his officers to prepare for action.

"It's about to start."

Di Renjie immediately adjusted his physical and mental state to the peak. At the same time, the spiritual power in the soul room was mobilized and became very active, maintaining a state where he could inspire the words of his real name at any time.

"Listen, gangsters inside, whether you want money or anything else, we can sit down and have a good talk, but please don't be impulsive and hurt the lives of Londoners. In that case, we will have no possibility of negotiation."

Lestrade stood at the door and shouted loudly. His shout immediately attracted the attention of all the spies, and those spies at the main entrance turned their eyes to him.

It's time to go, Di Renjie judged, and then quickly activated his extraordinary ability, and with the surge of spiritual power, his figure disappeared instantly on the spot.

Then it flashed like a ghost in the corridor on the first floor of the hospital.

"Sure enough, it succeeded! It's just a little bit out of strength."

He leaned on the wall with one hand and panted heavily, while the other hand was still holding the revolver tightly. At this moment, his stomach was overwhelmed, and he felt a strong feeling of vomiting and collapse.

This is because it was his first time to travel such a long distance in time and space, and he was both a little out of strength and a little uncomfortable.

However, his state is not bad, as long as he takes a short rest, he can recover his physical strength to fight with guns, but his mental strength is only half, and it is estimated that he will be exhausted after a few short space crossings.

Di Renjie changed his posture and leaned his back against the wall, his eyes were observing both sides of the corridor during the break.

He is lucky, this position is indeed a blind spot for the opponent's defense, but at this moment, he is smiling wryly in his heart:
"I didn't expect that after time-traveling, I, who used to like to convince others with wisdom, acted more and more like Yuan Fang, thinking about breaking tricks with strength every day."

Self-deprecating is self-deprecating, but the business still needs to be done. After resting for a minute or two, Di Renjie stood up. He first stretched his joints, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with his body, he began to explore the interior of the hospital.

At this time, the corridor of the hospital was very empty, without any figure. It could be seen that everything was as he expected. The spies did not have too many manpower to control various positions. The only effective force they had was probably lying in ambush at several entrances and exits. with.

In this case, the other party will definitely do everything possible to save manpower, so their internal arrangements in the hospital are easy to guess.

If there is no accident, they will most likely choose to gather all the hostages in an empty place that can be controlled by a few armed men.

There are not too many places in the hospital that meet such conditions. The hospital lobby, waiting hall, and emergency room are the three most likely places.

Di Renjie chose to go to the hospital lobby first, but it may be because it is too close to the hospital gate, and the spies are not at ease in arranging all the hostages in this location, so the place is empty, not even a ghost.

After Di Renjie hid in the corner and took a glance, he rushed to the next target location.

He walked cautiously in the corridors of the hospital, observing the front, back and surroundings from time to time to see if there were any figures, and his ears were always paying attention to the sounds coming from all around.

Suddenly, in the space ahead, there was a faint sound of light footsteps, as if someone was walking on tiptoe.

Di Renjie instantly became vigilant. He held the revolver in front of his body with both hands, and kept firing at any time.

Still, he didn't want to just shoot, if possible, because it would easily attract the attention of Russian spies inside the hospital, and all previous efforts would be wasted.

His gun must be fired at the most critical moment.

Therefore, he allocated some more energy to keep his extraordinary ability in a state that can be activated at any time.

If that person appeared at the front of the corridor for a while, as soon as he activated his ability, he could instantly appear behind the other party. In this way, he might take down the other party without gunpowder.

But to accomplish this goal, he must be able to grasp the timing delicately, because he doesn't have too high expectations for his melee combat ability, and he will mainly rely on surprise later.

Thinking of this, he changed to holding the gun with one hand, and with the other hand, he casually took a glass bottle from a small medical trolley beside him.

After getting ready like this, he leaned forward and hid in the corridor, waiting for the other party's arrival, ready to explode at any time.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Di Renjie held his breath and concentrated.

Suddenly, a young lady with long brown-blond hair poked her head out from the other side of the corridor.

and many more,

What's happening here?
Di Renjie, who was about to give the opponent a beautiful backstab, stopped suddenly.

He was a little surprised, the other party didn't look like a spy at all, didn't have any weapons in his hands, and looked flustered.

How can a spy panic, this is too unprofessional.

Therefore, Di Renjie speculated that the other party was probably a fish that slipped through the net among the hostages.

However, out of prudence, he immediately pointed his gun at the opponent, but he didn't have the ability to attack from the back immediately.

"Who are you?" Di Renjie stepped forward a few steps and asked with a low voice.

The lady looked even more surprised than she was, sitting on the ground with her mouth wide open, as if she was about to let out a horrible scream, but reason stopped her
"John Watson, why are you here?" she asked in shock.

Di Renjie was even more surprised now that the other party even knew his name.

"Ma'am, if you don't mind, can you tell me who you are first? Why are you here and why do you know my name?"

Di Renjie said, and politely showed the revolver in his hand.

So, Ms. Jasmine, who finally recovered from her surprise and shock, briefly told Di Renjie what happened in the hospital before.

"It's amazing that you managed to sneak away while the other party was transferring hostages,"

Di Renjie looked at the beautiful lady in front of him with some admiration. The courage and responsiveness of the other party were obviously top-notch.

However, he was still a little curious as to why this lady knew her identity. Logically speaking, he should have never met her.

When it came to this question, Jasmine blushed a little, and she faltered about the situation,
It turned out that after learning that Sherlock had moved and wanted to share the rent with someone, Jasmine had always wanted to pay a visit and see who Sherlock shared the rent with.

If it was a man, she would come back and dissect a corpse to celebrate; if it was a woman, she would come back and dissect a corpse.

(Corpse: Are you polite?)
But she was a little shy and embarrassed to come directly to the door.

So she wandered around Baker Street with gifts several times, and because of this, she saw Di Renjie who frequently went in and out of 221B Baker Street.

Later, when chatting with Sherlock in the hospital, she learned that Sherlock's new roommate was a young man named John Watson, and she connected the name of the person with the real person in this way.

Wow, it turned out to be an admirer of Sherlock~~
Di Renjie glanced at Jasmine whose cheeks were still blushing a little unexpectedly, thinking, this lady has a rather unique way of looking at people. Although he admires Sherlock himself, he doesn't think that Mr. Detective is a good person. match……

But now is not the time to think about these things. According to what Jasmine just shared, Sherlock has been in the corpse freezer for a while. It must be almost cold.

"Okay, Ms. Jasmine, I have a general understanding of the situation, now please take me to rescue Sherlock first." Di Renjie gave Jasmine a hand.

Now that he can join Sherlock first, Di Renjie decided to revise his previous plan.

At this moment, he had a brand new idea.

*
*
Because the Russians had given up searching for Sherlock, it was very safe to go to the underground forensic laboratory. Di Renjie and Jasmine arrived in front of the corpse freezer smoothly.

"What a fancy place Sherlock found for himself."

"This laboratory is his home." Jasmine said as she took out the key and inserted it into the lock.

Click, click, the metal bracket sounded again, Di Renjie pulled the steel handle, and slowly pulled the corpse freezer out of the wall.

Sherlock's head was exposed to the light first, but the sudden light did not wake him up.

His skin was pale, his chest did not rise and fall, and his face was serene.

"Sherlock," Jasmine exclaimed in a low voice, she couldn't believe it, obviously it hadn't been more than an hour.

Di Renjie didn't have any emotional ups and downs, because although Sherlock pretended a bit, some small details on his body couldn't be hidden from his eyes.

It also deceived Jasmine, who was concerned but chaotic.

After Sherlock was completely exposed to the air, Jasmine stretched out her hand tremblingly, she was a little afraid to touch Sherlock's pulse.

"Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen."

Sherlock suddenly opened his eyes and smiled.

"Hey, Molly, I knew you would make it... Oh, John, it's great to see you're all right, I just thought when I was resting in the closet, since those people are chasing me, it's impossible to miss But you... Anyway, this is great."

Sherlock sat up and greeted Di Renjie.

"Sherlock!" Jasmine held her forehead again, a little annoyed and a little funny, seeing Sherlock's appearance, she was really worrying for nothing just now.

"I'm glad to see that you're okay, Sherlock." Di Renjie looked at Sherlock with a smile.

"Oh, John, your expression tells me that this matter is not over yet." Sherlock's observation was also keen, and when the focus shifted to the business, his attitude instantly became serious.

"You guessed it right, let's talk as we walk." Di Renjie reached out and pulled Sherlock up.

Then a group of people left the forensic laboratory and walked to the ground while communicating information.

"Your plan is half successful, Sherlock, those spies have given up searching for you, and then left directly, but they left a part of their staff, and are currently holding everyone in the hospital hostage, so the police were stopped outside the door, Can't get in."

"Why do they keep people? It's not necessary... Is it to delay time and attract the attention of the police? John, we can't be led by them like this. If possible, it's best to find their stronghold and attack directly , Disrupt their deployment." Sherlock calmly analyzed.

"I completely agree, Sherlock, we want to go together," Di Renjie smiled slightly, "I even know the location of a stronghold, which is in the basement of No. 27 Jamestown Road."

"What?!" Sherlock looked at Di Renjie in shock,
"How do you know, John?" Sherlock was really surprised at the moment.

"You understand, Sherlock," Di Renjie shrugged,

"High-end reasoning often requires only the simplest of tricks."

"It's really a meaningful sentence, and I can't wait to know the specific operation."

"First we have to find them,"

"Ah."

"And then we'll make a friendly inquiry."

"Huh?" Sherlock's eyes widened.

"That's it," Di Renjie spread his hands,

Sherlock looked at Di Renjie with disbelief.

"Well, there may have been some friendly interactions mixed in after all."

Sherlock held his forehead with his hands, and looked at Di Renjie speechlessly:
"Well, John, you can reason."

"Hahaha," Di Renjie laughed softly, and then said, "I'm just kidding, Sherlock. But the most urgent thing right now is to solve the troubles above."

"What do you think?" Sherlock thought seriously.

"Actually, I already have a plan." Di Renjie said with a smile.
