Chapter 101 We Are Not Just Detectives

After completing the purification of the office, River and another second-level knight went to the financial room and bathroom for a new round of purification.

Di Renjie and Sherlock started looking for clues in the office, and Kelly went downstairs to call Toledo to go upstairs. Having such an insider around would obviously save them a lot of time and energy.

"These corpse-eating vines are already on the verge of death, and the power of the holy water seems to have a strong restraint on them." Sherlock reached out and wiped the soil in the potted plant, observed the color of the soil, and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it. smell:

"It didn't take long to transplant. Within about a month, the color of the soil was different from the soil in the courtyard. It wasn't even a typical east London soil, but more like it was dug out in west London."

"It means that these things were likely to be planted in the west of London before they were sent here, but the scope is still too large." Responding to Sherlock's words, Di Renjie rummaged through the documents on the office desktop.

There were not too many documents on the desktop, and they were all neatly arranged. It could be seen that Dr. Vasili was a tidy person, but this also brought a lot of convenience to Di Renjie's search.

Di Renjie went through all the documents on the table carefully, but most of these documents were related to the clinic's financial transactions, so he didn't pay attention to them.

Just at this time, Kelly took Toledo to the office on the second floor, and Di Renjie invited Toledo to inquire carefully about some of Dr. Vasili's daily habits.

"In fact, we rarely come to the second floor of the clinic except to go to the financial room to collect our salary every week." Toledo tried hard to recall various details about Dr. Vasili:

"I have the impression that Dr. Vasili is a bit of a clean freak. He is usually unsmiling. He looks like a dull gourd and taciturn."

"Is there anything unusual about him recently?" After checking the potted plants, Sherlock also came over and asked Toledo.

"Actually, the biggest anomalies recently are these things." Toledo pointed to the potted plants in the room: "Dr. Vasili would bring them to the courtyard to bask in the sun every morning, and then use a scalpel to prune them in the afternoon. And then they’d be brought back upstairs before get off work in the evening.”

"Kai Li, pick a few people to dig the soil in the backyard and see if there is anything buried there." Di Renjie looked at Kai Li and ordered after hearing the words, and then looked at Toledo after Kai Li agreed:
"If I hear you right, you mean Dr. Vasili uses a scalpel to trim greens? Why not garden shears?"

"This is also what makes me feel creepy," Toledo couldn't help but shudder when he thought of the scenes he had seen in the past few days:
"I often feel that he is not pruning the green plants, but more like abusing the green plants."

"Abuse? Could it be that these vines are not only used to guard this place, but also have other functions?" Sherlock frowned slightly:

"John, you know this thing better than I do, have you heard of some of its extra features?"

"No, there are only so many descriptions of corpse-eating vines in the materials shared with us by Regent's Park." Di Renjie also felt a little headache, but he hadn't finished checking the things in the desk, maybe there were some extra things hidden in it. clue.

So he greeted Sherlock and joined the search team together.

The two searched for a while, but after a while, Sherlock looked up and patted Di Renjie as if he had found something:
"John, look at this."

Sherlock handed a business card to Di Renjie: "I found this in the cabinet, and it was placed on the front of the cabinet alone."

"St. Mary's Chemical Factory." Di Renjie picked up the business card and glanced at it: "The main business is the production of salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is an important anti-inflammatory drug and antiseptic. Sherlock, you should also often interact with it. If you are the head of a clinic, it is not surprising that you will have contact with such a factory, but”

"But it doesn't seem worth keeping its business card separately. After all, we all know that Dr. Vasili is a clean freak." Sherlock said, thinking of something, looking at Toledo:
"Have you ever heard of the name St. Mary's Chemical Factory?"

"No," Toledo shook his head blankly.

"It doesn't look like a chemical factory that the clinic usually has frequent visits to." Sherlock made a judgment.

"You're right. From this point of view, the St. Mary's Chemical Plant is very suspicious." Di Renjie rubbed his chin:
"One thing that needs to be confirmed right now is what is the result of Dr. Vasili's experiment? Is it as we guessed, they are researching some kind of medicine? If so, then this chemical plant has a huge suspected."

With such doubts, the two continued to search the desk and the bookshelf behind the desk, but they did not find the record of the experimental results they wanted.

"It's really confusing. Why do they lock the patient's return visit record directly in the nurse's station without worrying about the nurse checking it, but keep the results of the experiment so well?" Sherlock said suspiciously.

"One possible inference is that some very critical information is likely to be recorded in the results of the experiment, which will have a fatal impact on their overall plan, so the experimental results are subject to stricter monitoring, and there are even It may be carried by Dr. Vasili." Di Renjie guessed, and suddenly he seemed to think of something:
"Doctor Toledo, how many nurses are there in your clinic?"

"Three or three, besides Julie and Annie, there is also Trish, the head nurse." Toledo answered truthfully.

"We have seen two of them just now, and they were both made into puppets of corpse-eating vines. From this point of view, the last remaining one is likely to be Dr. Vasily's partner." Di Renjie speculated That would explain why the record of the return visit is in the nurse's station, because this is what the partner is responsible for.

"Still can't find it." Sherlock searched the desk and bookshelves, but still couldn't find what they wanted: "It seems that they really care about the results of this experiment."

"If we can't find it for the time being, we don't necessarily have to fight with the results of this experiment." Di Renjie stood up and looked at Kelly who had come back: "Is there anything unusual about the financial room and the bathroom?"

Kaili shook her head, Di Renjie pondered for a moment, then made up his mind and said:
"You immediately call the White Tower and ask the people from the Tactical Mobility Department to cooperate with Scotland Yard to control the addresses of Dr. Vasily and Head Nurse Trish, and send another team to the St. Mary's Chemical Plant for inspection. At the same time, let the inspection team move to various places urgently waterworks."

"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief Secretary." Kelly left the clinic without asking why.

"We haven't found the key evidence yet." Sherlock hesitated.

"It doesn't matter. The current evidence is enough to support a correct rate of more than 90.00%. As for the remaining [-]%, we can still improve it here." Di Renjie looked at Sherlock with a smile:
"But before we've solved all the mysteries, the action can begin, Sherlock. We're detectives, but we're not just detectives."
