Chapter 637 Missing Persons

"What about the other case?"

The woman discovered the omissions in Lu Li's words, just like a blind student discovers the highlights.

"..."

After a while of silence, the policeman with "Hawkins" on his badge spoke up, intending to solve Mr. Lu Li's troubles.

"Ma'am, the law and order on Baker Street has always been very good. I have worked in this neighborhood for five full years. The most serious incident that happened was that a maid hid the master's dentures in a milk jug."

"Then, he was unable to eat in time and was sent to the hospital hungry. However, it was later proved that it was just a prank and the maid had no intention of committing a crime."

Equating the poor with criminals is either stupid or bad, and the same is true for firmly binding the word rich with education.

But the slums do have crimes every day, and the law and order in the rich areas has always been good.

Therefore, Hawkins was not wrong. In the past ten years, there has not been a vicious case on Baker Street.

Unfortunately, the world has changed.

All kinds of bloody and strange rumors spread wildly among the neighborhoods. People were worried, locked their doors and windows at night, and couldn't even sleep well.

At this moment, a little boy suddenly disappeared, disappearing into the thick fog, which is really worrying.

Especially his mother, the lady in front of him, she was looking at Lu Li with her swollen eyes.

"Can you provide the address of your ex-husband? According to the testimony, it seems that his house does not have a telephone, or you do not have his number, so we have to send someone over to ask."

As Lu Li said, he handed the manuscript back to Holmes, "to rule out the ninety-nine percent."

Caring too much?

Feminine instinct?

Judging from the mother's reaction, she has concluded that the child had an accident and his life is likely to hang by a thread.

The reason why it is not death is because she dare not think about it.

And Lu Li was more inclined towards death.

Out of sympathy, he opened his mouth to reassure the other party, saying that there was a ninety-nine percent chance that the child was still alive.

Out of reason, he told himself in his heart, the child was swallowed by something, or, was captured by dark artists such as McGarry to carry out evil experiments.

"He lives in the commercial street of the Financial City. From here, even if you take a direct carriage, it takes 20 minutes. Dick can't go so far by himself. This kid has always been very good."

Unexpectedly, the mother became stronger, able to cooperate with Lu Li's questioning, and even spoke more coherently.

As for Dick, it was the name of the missing person, a boy who was only eight years old.

However, Police Officer Hawkins was a little puzzled. Why did this lady say this? If she called the Financial City Police Station and asked them to verify it for her, wouldn’t the problem be solved?

But judging from her tone, it seemed that she didn't want the police to find the child's father.

"what do you mean?"

Holmes sat up slightly.

"Don't waste time, send everyone, mobilize all neighbors to look for nearby blocks, can you? He is still so young, he can't go very far."

The woman wept again, she whispered:

"Maybe I was tired from walking, and fell asleep in a corner out of the wind."

It turned out that going through the process was a waste of time.

Everyone accepted this statement.

Lu Li stood up from the sofa and said in a deep voice:

"I will ask the police detectives who are available in the nearby police station to search the surrounding streets carefully."

"As for mobilizing street citizens to help, it's not realistic, but you can ask if anyone is willing to be a volunteer."

Right now, residents are avoiding going out as much as possible, especially in the face of life-threatening, how many people can make selfless dedication.

It's worth mentioning that Lu Li felt that he could satisfy this lady's request by himself.

Therefore, after making the pledge, he added:

"Could you get me a piece of Dick's? Laundered or unwashed."

Never doubt the werewolf's tracking ability, even if it is a piece of washed clothes, Lu Li can still smell it and track his master.

Of course, the premise is that the other party still has a smell in the world.

Why do you need clothes?

The thought flashed through Madame Eugenie's mind, and she quickly agreed. She divorced her husband in the early years and took care of the children alone. Now that her only spiritual support is gone, and she has no ability, she can only place her hopes on others.

It is no exaggeration to say that whatever Lu Li says, as long as it is beneficial to find the child, she will do it.

Seeing the back of Mrs. Eugenie leaving in a hurry, Holmes motioned for two police officers to follow and protect her.

Regarding the envoy from the detective, the two had no objection and followed up.

In this world, the advantages of Scotland Yard are particularly obvious: they are very willing to follow the orders of professionals, and never have any small thoughts.

"well."

As the three of them left the apartment that was used as a temporary police booth, only Lu Li and Holmes were left, and this well-known detective who had always shown himself calm rarely felt pessimistic.

Before Lu Kai could ask, he took the initiative to say, "That child disappeared."

"You're asking for clothes to track by scent, right?"

Lu Li's true intentions were easy to guess.

He was therefore not surprised, though Holmes' words did cast a shadow over the action, as the legendary detective said:

Dick disappeared.

Next, Holmes began to explain the principle. As we all know, he has many strange collections, and one of them happens to be used to find people.

It was something like a compass, it came from the far east, Lu Li had seen it many times——

Simon.

Drop the subject's hair or blood on it, and the handle of the spoon will point to his (her) direct blood relatives.

Before Madame Eugenie reported the crime, Holmes, who had heard about it, went to pick up a hair in her garden.

The handle of the spoon points to the outskirts of the city.

There, Holmes saw a couple's grave, in which the lady's parents were buried.

It stands to reason that Sinan should point in another direction, and the corresponding target is Dick.

"According to what you mean, that prop can even track the corpse, but after pointing to the cemetery in the suburbs, it stopped moving."

"And this shows that Dick didn't even leave a corpse, maybe he was swallowed by some monster, maybe he was transformed into some unknown existence..."

Lu Li restrained his wandering thoughts and looked up at Holmes, hoping that he could give a clearer answer.

"No, he disappeared."

"It has completely disappeared and is not in this world. It not only refers to the physical level, but also refers to the physical level. If he is eaten by something and turned into nutrients, the location of the murderer will be marked."

"If his body is dismembered, the handle of the spoon will be turned back and forth in each corpse dumping place, but it has been very quiet. As for being transformed into a monster, it is even more impossible. This prop directly locks the soul, even if the soul is sacrificed to the evil god, This end also reacts, pointing to where the soul was last seen."
