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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwler1C9Uxr
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD3wxJw3oz7
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgLRtgRhD4b
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCCJ49NR9a
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoXCGGZWWgx
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdvWizNF8Pc
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjVYN1Ygs6
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMF2x3PA6sV
「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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMPOBOms7Y
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOIM1Rm4Jgy
「罪案現場。」Lestrade單手摸著下巴說。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlAckH6GtpB
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ZikfVYTzD
「什麼？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6eo4LktGJ3
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMl2JDkxr8d
「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』。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3TYftBzxT
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshc9aOMDJR
「她死了多久？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ4Pvn2ygxv
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoSYVR9GlZ
「五、六個小時。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTLrN7vD4Z
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQcKd5NkNu
「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。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0weQ4tPVtu
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL8AElgi9BL
他的室友走過去，從他口袋拿出放大鏡遞給他。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeDW9JKs6iS
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYwlDTskc3W
「打開它。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFibM4oBfOk
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQV0KTE4Ih
「……行了。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLg74f8V4y
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJa6sVhMpWR
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvkqufIJkJ
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy86bf5LBdu
Lestrade馬上搭話：「那是什麼意思？這隻耳朵的主人是凶手嗎？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1LopbOtvIq
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMeTJe9uhkn
「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。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN7ykbO1Uu
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Dn2yyKcdN
「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？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pV1yls9Mi
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbfB9vRt6AL
「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。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYeGbL51N1l
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK1VbVZk7C9
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7937eoHd3u

H36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfpQ0NLQgA1
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡptAXIk7ZY0
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。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0AEiEmLmcq
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUFF17LvX1
「你在十年前就替自己弄了個敵人？」他的室友一臉愕然地問。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnjjGS8LRB
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ7Iv4n6NK
「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。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WMsXhYkuv
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwgidcedBR
「所以你在十年前就替自己弄了個敵人。」他的室友這樣回答。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vHQFonbut
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCYTayvTCFn
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiScWULVq8Z
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVn1f2qNfe
「不。我不知道她是誰，還不。」咨詢偵探首先打破沉默。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGqRBKDW2Bg
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp5xjdTyI9A
「那你怎麼知道……」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo9Mcim8joW
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7N0QN2oH5
「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？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl8Q6hYNryk
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADUxurYEhw
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuIETEK2BRi
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11rlZnDEky
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh7ath993gm
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe25saUhIdF
咨詢偵探「刷」一聲脫下右手的膠手套。「誰是罪案現場的法醫？」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlXiwYKj7sz
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzwmuLF8yFC
「Anderson。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWAJADfted
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kWwX5YFz2
「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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDT8uYhDPZX
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM232V9R6V1
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。36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ81S7Ecmqnv
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTz4Mea0T6L
「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。」36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiauAZtZVmM
36Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl61JbXfGKn
這正中她下懷。「是。」
