「它在哪兒？」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8qMzwVzwg

當咨詢偵探撞開大門走進鑑証室時，站在鑑証室角落的Monica睜大眼睛盯著他，而顯然他並沒注意到她。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGze6eruuM
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbQuqmzgnB
Lestrade環著胸，沉默地指了指桌上的鐵盤。鐵盤上有個尚未打開的透明塑膠袋，裡面鮮血淋漓，隱約能看見一隻人類耳朵。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXuLQfwYfAO
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEjIx9UoK5
咨詢偵探俐落地戴上膠手套，打開袋子，用鉗子夾出斷耳，仔細審視一會後，才將斷耳放在另一個鐵盤上。他的隨行室友這時才到達鑑証室。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUysff6Z3fw
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptwtFP57sE
Monica盯著咨詢偵探的一舉一動，皺了皺眉。天啊－－他湊向盤子，近距離凝視斷耳的眼神，就像電影主角凝望情人般專注。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ18juV1im2s
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGrOvT3sgV
「在什麼地方找到它的？」咨詢偵探用鉗子將斷耳翻來翻去研究，這樣問。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiExy3FeLSJ
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBEFArrIH6n
「罪案現場。」Lestrade單手摸著下巴說。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXcl1uFvjJf
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHI4dstAotN
「什麼？」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7H1qv9v2Ny
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSilcOPCtd
「一個女人被殺害了，屍體在後巷，旁邊放著一張有你名字的紙和『那東西』。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeIfIJUBIy
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGLZmk9KOV
「她死了多久？」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZvwF6KjETh
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3TAne0WsH
「五、六個小時。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZzfdTHn78
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FfBcIffnE
「這隻左耳不屬於你們發現的屍體。」咨詢偵探語氣平淡地陳述。「John，放大鏡，在我大衣口袋裡。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNdWMPjiZNB
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0NIhNoLyGc
他的室友走過去，從他口袋拿出放大鏡遞給他。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P6u3HvuBq
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡokMnnp6XoU
「打開它。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQM6bOp0mfj
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAkM8uVwVCc
「……行了。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8AllpSVGTo
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qOiWsCM8W
咨詢偵探拿起桌上的滴管，朝斷耳的耳垂擠了兩滴清水，然後迅速地脫下左手的膠手套，接過放大鏡，湊近斷耳的耳垂。「女人；很可能不富有；生活品質不高；精神不堅強。」他忽然說。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszFZlIRjsq
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvT5kRS35CI
Lestrade馬上搭話：「那是什麼意思？這隻耳朵的主人是凶手嗎？」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIzrz0EDmR
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIIiLzIBfDl
「憑這些資訊距離能下結論還很遠。我要看那張紙和罪案現場。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22OlaHATEt
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5mUScaoXo
「那首先告訴我一件事，為什麼屍體旁邊的紙上有你的名字？那是什麼意思？這隻耳朵真的是給你的嗎？」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ12YvDeK1K4
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUxzBXrJe5r
「顯而易見。」咨詢偵探凝視著那隻斷耳說。「因為我的名字也在這上面。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRq7uEWYtLC
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpA9pUiCH0m
他用戴著手套的姆指拭走斷耳耳背的血跡，然後在場所有人都看見了，在耳背上，垂直紋著兩個英文字母。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHamIK4G8Z

40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqVBFEf6OI
咨詢偵探呢喃：「不是新的紋身。從褪色的程度看，最少已有十年。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wzrXMihwx
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTvfP9KWhMS
「你在十年前就替自己弄了個敵人？」他的室友一臉愕然地問。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjcd0YDgbQ
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiwkkKTRNh
「我不能控制誰不喜歡我，John。還有，就像我剛才說的，耳朵的主人在這事件裡扮演什麼角色還不明確。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpYshQrxxUk
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaWn1Sx9Q5
「所以你在十年前就替自己弄了個敵人。」他的室友這樣回答。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOqd8b43G4
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54oin58343
Monica忍不住問：「你已經知道耳朵的主人是誰了吧？剛才那些資料可不像是瞎編出來的。」她剛說完，三對眼睛就立即盯著她看。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhYfMgeVU4
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nBYHTf3uI
「不。我不知道她是誰，還不。」咨詢偵探首先打破沉默。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVlFLBFrKIF
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡij4jovHGU2
「那你怎麼知道……」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCBElmkkBck
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jpwkZY78h
「太明顯了。耳朵的皮膚細緻所以『女性』是合理假設；耳洞範圍有近似鐵鏽的殘餘物而且染上了銅被氧化後的綠色，來自廉價的耳環，所以不富有；耳洞有發炎跡象而且維持了一段長時間，從發炎程度來看傷口沒有被照料過，正常人不會放著傷口腐爛不管所以她的生活品質不高；傷口有被抓過的痕跡很可能是因為發炎引起的痕癢，一直去抓痕癢的傷口不會是個精神堅強的人。現在的問題是為什麼有這個紋身？」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxYQGVJeKbC
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK10eMdQmiv
咨詢偵探一口氣說完後，把斷耳舉高到眼前細看，鑑証室蒼白的燈光射照進他灰藍的眼睛裡，令它們的顏色看起來比平時還要淡。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMXrlmERrxr
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj1tiZYq6GW
Monica聽後說不出話來。這時Lestrade走到桌邊，大聲地說：「Sherlock！不要忘記除了這隻耳朵還有一單凶殺案！我要知道為什麼那個女人的屍體在後巷，要知道誰是這隻見鬼的耳朵的主人，我還要知道這案子為什麼會跟你有關聯！看在老天份上，我本來可以憑逮捕你來逼你合作！」到後來他每說一句話，就用力敲一下桌面。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuE9YKynys
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAqzStyaDZF
咨詢偵探「刷」一聲脫下右手的膠手套。「誰是罪案現場的法醫？」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYAgMaby9Z
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN5lziPwXQV
「Anderson。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MVk80ZXqC
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBDqQFAV6L
「那我最好在他將現場證據全部破壞掉之前趕去。John，請跟著來，或許需要你幫忙。」咨詢偵探大步走向門口，就像來時那樣，匆匆推門走了出去。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLw4P7pxNwP
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuhhCNvKkpM
Monica看著這一幕幕發生，她先是盯著咨詢偵探離去的方向，然後她望向Lestrade，對方一臉疲倦地揉著眉心。40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24IGS8R6md
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeyNIksEhKY
「Monica，跟著他。我不要又像上次那樣被蒙在鼓裡，他發現的任何東西，你對我報告。」40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16vRsFSita
40Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRp1cozs6Be
這正中她下懷。「是。」
