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。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZBLK0DU0L
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSgKHm5csji
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。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjNFyI1f2f
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWSOES4gUX
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。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHSuOQPdyT0
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2o4fM5sBvJ
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。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoNpU9gp38F
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgNVRyVDtbA
「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。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0MwvR1UPpv
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4aMBU3Mqg
「罪案現場。」Lestrade單手摸著下巴說。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2FyC5i2we
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlXdbVg5wc
「什麼？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNxbXELXVTn
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLcGUhGKO7
「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』。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqN4qgudoT
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mQS4sgssk
「她死了多久？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcD9XiHrRnP
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡarWZdgmIgL
「五、六個小時。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxnzuCr6wuk
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQpKV1E1hg
「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。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlJ4pRFm1XU
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKebDhHHE06
他的室友走過去，從他口袋拿出放大鏡遞給他。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlI2wYxpZG
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlEaTwx0iR
「打開它。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgVNs8qMn7M
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqabU0sLxrQ
「……行了。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4w4XFObkY
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dGJ6OyrK6
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。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVO228bBkM
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0iPizk6B29
Lestrade馬上搭話：「那是什麼意思？這隻耳朵的主人是凶手嗎？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZhUmJJevNn
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTeSB97bIyh
「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。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJzSXUwnCy
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhxgWqiXw87
「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？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF1AaP8K3TJ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr6bm8mzoXW
「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。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg3VtammlQZ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QLmeFvwxs
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。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAJ6YQ53vzy

50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡndwNVWC80o
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。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBW1bkPKSJ
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUN6T5CLRTT
「你在十年前就替自己弄了個敵人？」他的室友一臉愕然地問。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡifRwvqjOHA
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6WLviLCEj5
「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。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHb79d3FXX9
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJqGatkMHFa
「所以你在十年前就替自己弄了個敵人。」他的室友這樣回答。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7KalSaBBD
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dw00kelBo
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。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDEtpHfab8h
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Y1hec67Du
「不。我不知道她是誰，還不。」咨詢偵探首先打破沉默。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqNnxmXrdUX
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY7VKrrD66D
「那你怎麼知道……」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd0PcOvNEs0
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRj71XcjcJx
「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？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrB6pC0bms
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUY98U9dsB
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。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGcM76hvQTH
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYYGcOp9oM1
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。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡscTqQidQAE
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRsQYy0RPYi
咨詢偵探「刷」一聲脫下右手的膠手套。「誰是罪案現場的法醫？」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡErTnbVODD6
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpBQojbp1I
「Anderson。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDTRvlH5eX
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rfoOP4tS1
「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。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdrvrab8UuI
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKYpy7iSUzK
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。50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUldnp9Ns2r
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvHkUEcBhj7
「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。」50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD2qvKg8n3w
50Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVN0jpXHrlS
這正中她下懷。「是。」
