"Hiss, be gentle!" Du Ruoying's wailing suddenly came from the apartment across the wall.

Outside the door, Du Ruoxian froze when he knocked on the door.

Immediately afterwards, he heard William's voice: "Don't be so intense next time, your body will be overwhelmed..."

"Hmph, it's obviously because you acted too hard, that's why I can't even get out of bed now!"

What?Can't even get out of bed? !

Du Ruoxian's fist hanging in the air suddenly clenched.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, I apologize to you," William coaxed softly, "Hey, don't move around, it's not over yet."

"Come again?" Her voice trembled slightly, "I can't take it anymore... This thing is really exciting to paint."

"You can stop here if you think about it, but if you feel uncomfortable later, don't blame me."

"Then... Let's continue." Du Ruoying hesitated.

"Well, bear with it."

As soon as the words fell, the door of the living room was kicked open, Du Ruoxian rushed in, and bumped into the two people on the sofa.

William held a bruise medicine in one hand and a cotton swab in the other. The action of applying the medicine paused in mid-air: "Officer Du?"

"What are you doing?"

"Take the medicine for traumatic injury," Du Ruoying pointed at the bruise on her knee, her eyes filled with pain, "By the way, why are you here?"

"...You didn't reply to the message last night, and no one answered the phone call this morning. I don't worry. I happened to be on the way just after get off work, so I wanted to take a look."

"Oh, so. Because I forgot to bring my mobile phone when I went out in the morning," she tilted her head slightly, "so why are you so excited?"

"Cough...it's nothing," Du Ruoxian turned around in embarrassment, "Since you're fine, I'll go back."

"Come on, let's have lunch together—" Before she could say the word "rice", he had disappeared, and she was about to get up to chase, but the moment she moved, her whole body hurt, and it hurt so much She gasped, "...What are you doing, him!"

"Officer Du is very concerned about you." William screwed on the lid of the ointment, "Okay, don't run around, take a good rest for a day, and you will have the energy to start tomorrow."

"Ah, when I think of such a wonderful thing as going to the beach in summer vacation, I can't get motivated." She lamented weakly on the sofa.

At night, in the chemical laboratory of the School of Chemical Engineering, Bei Yu University.

Sherlock sat in front of the smoky laboratory table, quietly staring at the test tube solution on the alcohol lamp.

"How long are you going to stand outside the door?" He suddenly asked.

The falsely concealed door opened in response, and William walked in silently. He glanced at the mess on the ground, and shook his head helplessly: "I managed to get you an appointment with this laboratory, please take good care of it, Xia Li .”

"Preaching from the very beginning, are you possessed by Mrs. Hudson?" Sherlock scratched his head impatiently, "You said I was very enthusiastic, but what about yourself, why don't you take good care of yourself?"

William was stunned: "I don't understand what you are talking about, Mr. Holmes."

"No, you know what I'm talking about," Youlan's eyes raised, facing the bright crimson, "at the venue, the purple witch predicted three deaths, but the three cases that happened later were not In the case of serial murders, the murderers have no connection with each other, and it stands to reason that no one can predict what will happen afterwards, so how did she succeed in predicting it?"

"Who knows? Maybe she really has psychic abilities." William shrugged.

"Sure enough, you still don't tell the truth... Forget it, I will solve all this sooner or later."

"You are as energetic as ever." William casually looked at the ashtray in Sherlock's hand. Among the pile of almost burnt cigarette butts, there was a cigarette that was cut off halfway that stood out. "It seems that during the day someone I came to visit you, is it Officer Du?"

"That's right," Sherlock said, "That kid has a keen intuition. He found the information about this case at the police station, and then he came over to find me immediately."

"So..." William was lost in thought.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do tonight?"

"I want you to help me test the ingredients of this medicine." William handed him a white paper package the size of a postage stamp.

Sherlock took the paper bag and took out a white round pill from it, with a finely carved butterfly pattern on it, a very rare style.He ground a small amount of powder, dipped it in front of his nose and sniffed it, then took another part and placed it on a glass slide, dripped a few drops of liquid on it, and put it under a microscope for a closer look.

"Dong Chenyue gave it to you?"

"Well, she said it was part of liberaci's antidote," William said frankly, "she told me to take it when the next attack occurred, which would temporarily stop the pain."

"That woman is not a good bird. She even sent someone to attack Li Mo's house during the day. Fortunately, I had expected it and used traps to catch the attacker. But the matter may not end there." Sherlock said, " Likewise, what she gave you is not a good thing."

"I know, that's why I came to you to confirm."

"The ingredients are very complicated, um, a very rare formula," Sherlock pondered, "but I can tell you one thing with certainty - this drug can only relieve pain, not detoxify, and it is also mixed with a lot of addictive drugs , can transform all the pain into the pleasure of extinction, cause irreversible damage to the nervous system, and thus establish a strong dependence mechanism in the human body. If you really eat this when the attack is the most intense, you should completely fall into her Take control."

"Sure enough..."

"It's obviously a fake antidote, but she still gave you only half of it in a deceitful manner. Tell me, what does she want you to do for her?"

"Help her get rid of one person, and she will give me the antidote for the other half after it's done." William replied.

"Get rid of who?"

"Not yet."

"You promised?"

"Ah."

"You knew she was lying to you, but you still agreed..." Sherlock frowned, "What are you planning, Lian?"

William smiled bitterly: "There are so many plans, I just take one step at a time."

Sherlock lit a cigarette anxiously, and exhaled lightly at the no-smoking sign on the wall, "Why don't you tell me the whole thing, and let me figure out a solution with you? It won't work like this, you have seen it yourself , she can't give you a real antidote anyway."

"Actually—" William suddenly raised the corners of his mouth, "It's not impossible at all."

As long as you can get the brainwashing control ability...

The next day.

After getting off the subway, Du Ruoying rushed towards the viewing bridge.

She stopped in the middle of the flyover and looked forward with great interest. At the end of her sight, a bay of light golden sandy beach surrounded the boundless sea. A luxury cruise ship of astonishing scale was floating alone on the sea. , only a small-scale building closest to the sea can echo it, and that building is the target of their mission——

Seaside Museum.

Under the scorching sun, most people on the beach hid in parasols and deck chairs, with various cold drinks on hand.There were a few people floating sporadically in the sea, and there was a burst of laughter and cursing from time to time.

The two carried their respective suitcases across the overpass and came to the front desk of a nearby hotel to check in.

"Two single rooms, right?" the receptionist at the front desk asked in a sweet voice.

"Yes." William handed over their ID cards.

"Actually, I recommend that you share a double room. Not only is the price more cost-effective, but the sea view is also better. In addition, we also have deluxe sea view king bed rooms, honeymoon couple theme rooms and other types of rooms. , can add more interest to the vacation trip of the two of you, how about it, do you want to think about it, miss?"

"Don't think about it!" Du Ruoying flatly refused.

"Okay then." The receptionist smiled awkwardly, and then glanced at William sympathetically, "Here is the room card, I wish you two a pleasant stay."

On the way to find the room, William smiled and said, "Student Xiaoying, isn't she going to act like a lover?"

"……what?"

"As far as I know, this behavior of booking rooms separately is not like a lover. You can see that the front desk is suspicious."

"Don't listen to them fooling around," Du Ruoying said with a blushing face, "I don't know those routines yet? It's the peak tourist season, and she wants to trick us into upgrading the package so that we can make room for the hotel!" What's more How could she nod on such shameful things as the big bed room and the couple room? Hey...

Just as they were talking, they happened to pass by the hotel's outdoor swimming pool, and Du Ruoying stopped curiously.

This swimming pool is located on the best landscape side of the hotel, like a giant sapphire embedded in the most noble position of the whole venue.Here, you can directly enjoy the sea in the distance with the best view, and you can even see the sunset on the sea in the evening.

Colorful swimsuits flashed in front of my eyes, and there was a bar serving high-end alcoholic beverages beside me. There was endless laughter and laughter, and the lively atmosphere was very contagious, attracting Du Ruoying to approach unconsciously.

She noticed that the swimming pool adopts a rare infinity design, which makes it look like it is suspended between the sea and the sky. The water surface of the pool and the sea are perfectly blended together, and there is no boundary between each other.

It must be cool to swim here...

"The hotel's swimming pool is open to guests free of charge, and the advanced design of the infinity pool is also famous. Do Xiaoying want to experience it?" William asked.

"No...not!" She turned her face away in pain, trying to resist the temptation of the swimming pool, "Hmph, I don't have the slightest desire to go into the water when I go out with you."

"That's a pity."

"What are you talking about, how can you not go into the water when you come to the beach?" An unfriendly sarcasm came from behind, and the two turned their heads to see a strange man with a big gold chain.The other party was wearing a brightly colored floral shirt, and the exposed part of his skin was tanned. He seemed to be a frequent visitor to the beach, "Ah, I see, there is something shady about this lady, right?"

Faced with such a frivolous conversation, Du Ruoying decisively chose to ignore it: "Will, let's go."

However, her indifferent attitude obviously displeased the other party. He kicked Du Ruoying's suitcase straight into the pool.

"Wait, there's a computer inside..." Du Ruoying tried to stop her, but she was a step too late. Before she had time to think, she chased into the water and picked up the suitcase. She struggled to push the suitcase to the shore, while she struggled halfway After entering the blue water, the white T-shirt became translucent due to being soaked, and a light blue tinge could be vaguely seen on the chest.

"Look, don't you stop going into the water now?" The other party laughed at her wretchedly, "Oh, oh, it looks like it can swim, so why don't you want to go into the water? I'm afraid Will you show your original shape after getting wet, Little Mermaid?"

The four people behind him were obviously with him, and they also laughed together. After laughing enough, they turned around and were about to leave, but William grabbed the instigator.

"What?" The other party stared at William fiercely, "You want to vent your anger on your little girlfriend? Huh? Little boy, don't you even look at the size of your arms?"

"Didn't you hear what she said? There is a computer in her suitcase, so it can't get wet." William said calmly, the strength of restraining the other party increased a little bit without a trace, and the pain soon distorted the other's facial features, repeatedly cried out.

"I... ah... I didn't do it on purpose!" The other party struggled in vain, "I just slipped..."

"A slippery foot?" William frowned, obviously dissatisfied with this answer.

"What do you want? Let go! If you don't let me go...I'm calling someone!"

"Even if you call the police, it can't change the fact that you are wrong. How about please stop this kind of dirty prank?"

"Hey, look at that girl—"

"She seems to be drowning!"

"Who is going to save her?"

When William heard the sound, he turned his head and saw Du Ruoying fluttering wildly in the deep water, looking very strange. The violent splash of water had covered her head, making her unable to breathe at all.He immediately let go of the provocateur and jumped down without hesitation.

After what happened just now, most of the arrogance of the provocateur had been thwarted long ago. Taking advantage of being able to get away now, he quickly threw down a wad of money, and ran away clutching his purple wrist, "Bah, that's bad luck! Poor!" What are the ghosts here to do here? The computer money will pay you, don't let me run into you again!"

William didn't care to talk to them, and tried his best to bring Du Ruoying back to the shore. He patted her on the cheek and stimulated her to cough up the water she choked on.

"Cough... I forgot that I still have injuries on my body, my whole body hurts so badly... I'm sorry."

William breathed a sigh of relief: "If you can't exert your strength, don't try to be aggressive."

"Damn it, let them run away..." Du Ruoying thumped the ground unwillingly, her attention was immediately attracted by the stack of money left by the man, she quickly picked it up and counted, "I'll go, 1 yuan Throwing it down without blinking, is that person a rich second generation or a fool?"

"Is 1 yuan enough for your computer?"

"It's about the same, but it's not just about money." Du Ruoying held his forehead in pain, "I have half of the international competitions in the computer, and I still hope to win a prize with it. The deadline for drawing is approaching, don't tell me Everything is going to be ruined, hey..."

"Then let's go back to the room and check it out," he helped her up, "How about it, can we go?"

At this time, two hotel attendants also came over and handed them two white towels: "It's all right, do you need help?"

"Thank you," William took the towel, wrapped one of them around Du Ruoying's shoulders, and put the other on his dripping blond hair, "Then please help me send the suitcase to the room." Think of Du Ruoying.

"Yes sir." The older waiter replied.

"I'm so sorry that this happened to you," said another young waiter.

"It's okay, it's not your fault." William replied.

"To tell you the truth, we also have a terrible headache for that customer," the young waiter suddenly lowered his voice, "that man's name is Wu Chi, and he is the most expensive frequent customer on this beach. There is nothing he can do. Not only does he often play tricks on other customers at the pool, he is also uneasy when he is alone, he always pokes the bed sheets, curtains and tablecloths in the hotel with hot cigarette butts, and loses money as soon as we find out, very attitude It is bad, and he will complain about our poor service afterwards, and several colleagues have already resigned because of his anger."

"Hmph, this kind of person," Du Ruoying muttered angrily in decibels that only William could hear, "If it were put in a detective novel, he would definitely die first..."

Hearing this, William just smiled slightly.

When the two returned to the room, Du Ruoying hurriedly opened the suitcase and checked, "The computer is flooded with water, and the clothes are all wet, what a fool, why am I so weak?"

"Don't go out today, just wait for the laundry room to finish washing and drying your clothes." William found a set of neatly folded clothes from his suitcase and handed them to her, "Go take a shower quickly, don't catch a cold Alright, after taking a shower, take my clothes and make do with it for the day."

"Yeah." Du Ruoying picked up his clothes pitifully, turned and went into the bathroom.
