Red, red flying all over the sky, covered everything.

Du Ruoying opened her eyes, and what she saw was a night scene of London engulfed in flames.The evening wind brushed her toes, reminding her that one step further would lead her to fall from the top of Big Ben.Fear of heights caused her to step back slightly.Looking around, you can overlook the London Eye not far away, its wreckage is slanting and half submerged in the dark red Thames.

Smoke billowed from the chaotic Westminster Bridge, and a red double-decker bus fell into the air due to the shock wave of the explosion, triggering a new round of explosions.Heart-piercing screams mixed with cries, intertwined together over the city, echoing for a long time.

"...For the benefit of the public, I am willing to meet death." A deep and slight male voice drew her attention back.She turned sideways suddenly, and found that an English man with a pipe appeared beside her at some point.He was wearing a brown checked deerstalker hat, the brim of the hat was lowered to hide his eyes deeply.His knee-length dark gray windbreaker made his figure very tall, and the cold wind lifted the corners of his clothes, making a hunting sound.

Du Ruoying opened her lips slightly, and tremblingly called out the man's name: "Holmes..."

The man's gaze turned to her as well.He raised his head slightly, revealing a pair of glazed blue pupils: "This time, I will leave the matter of William to you, sorry."

A certain emotion that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly collapsed, and tears began to pour out uncontrollably.She stepped forward and grabbed Holmes by the corner of his clothes, and then burst into tears: "Then tell me, what should I do? I have... I have... I... I can't do anything... "

"Using legal means to sanction him is what we should do." Holmes looked down at the city under his feet and sighed softly.

"But, didn't even you fail to punish him with the law in the end? Then it's even more impossible for me..."

"Well, I really couldn't do it. Because the time was too tight at the time, the decisions made in haste were inevitably not wise enough." Holmes said softly, "However, the so-called law is that people have been continuously perfecting it for thousands of years. One of the most important social conventions. Once people choose to go beyond it, then it can no longer protect the society. So promise me, don't give up, okay?"

She nodded silently, but her eyes were still covered with a layer of mist that could not be resolved.

"Your situation is different from mine. Your era has more technological advantages. What's more, you still have many reliable partners. How about trying to rely on the strength of your partners?" He reached out and touched her The gentle caress of her hair reminded her of Du Ruoxian.

The kind warmth came from the wide palm, which temporarily dispelled the chill that shrouded her body, and gradually stabilized her emotions.

In the distance, the bright morning glow slowly overflowed from the sky on the other side of the Thames River, gradually fading the glaring color from the darkness and crimson that eroded the city.Under the hazy and faint morning light, Du Ruoying gradually woke up from her dream.

It turned out to be a dream...

Drowsy, she touched the phone by the bed to check the time.

six in the morning.

A thin layer of light gray cloud is densely covered outside the dazzling window, indicating that today will be a nice sunny day.

"I didn't expect to see the sun in a new day without incident." She touched her neck and sighed softly.It seems that last night was finally safe and sound.

That's right, before all ten missions are successfully completed, I'm afraid that no matter how much I provoke him, I won't die easily.This is a good advantage for her.

Thinking of this, she turned over and got out of bed, and tiptoed to the door of William's bedroom.She slowly opened the half-covered door a crack, and saw him sleeping on the bed.Like last night, his tie was hanging loosely across his chest and had not been removed.This scene made her almost think that the scene she saw before closing her eyes last night was just a dream and phantom.

However, she was sure she was right.

"Use legal means to punish him...? Is it really possible to do such a thing?"

Although Holmes' exhortation still lingered in her ears and made her feel some kind of hope, it did not completely dispel her confusion.

As if aware of the peeping at the door, William opened his blurred eyes.He turned to look at her, but the bright light in the bedroom made him block the back of his hand again: "Morning, what time is it?"

"Morning...morning." Du Ruoying, who felt unexpected that she would be discovered, almost fell into a panic, "Last night—did you sleep well?"

"Well, I slept well." William sat up from the bed, "Should I get up, and go to the cafeteria to have breakfast together later?"

"If you have nothing to do, it doesn't matter if you continue to sleep. Anyway, I have already asked for leave for today's classes." She said, "I'm sorry for coming in while you were sleeping. I'll go first."

"It's okay, anyway, I've always been on guard, so I'm sorry you can't do anything." He smiled, "What's more, the morning time is so precious, how could I bear to continue to sleep?"

"As you wish." Du Ruoying dropped the words, then turned and left.

Seeing her leaving back, William raised his hand to half cover his sneering face.There was a soft snort from his nose, and his scarlet pupils curved into terrifying arcs.

"It seems that the effect of the medicine has disappeared. It is really a simple-minded brat who fell for it so easily. It is really true to say that "there is nothing to be courteous, and it is either rape or robbery." As expected, it still made me a little nervous at the time..."

After getting up, he tidied up his clothes leisurely, and then went to the bathroom to brush his teeth.At this time, Du Ruoying had already packed everything first, and was lying on the sofa in the living room watching the news on her mobile phone.

As expected, William really appeared in today's hot search, and its corresponding tag is——

#玉大青年professor accused of being too outrageous in teaching behavior#

The comment area under the topic is unprecedentedly lively, and it can be seen that they are mainly divided into three camps.The first faction is in the majority, and they strictly oppose the radical behavior of arson and burning of photos of masters in the classroom, and believe that it will set a bad example for students; Ideas that are lacking in the education field; while the third faction is keen to discuss why other people's professors can be so young, handsome and talented...

Seeing this, she wasn't surprised at all.Rather, if it doesn't cause heated discussions, it will surprise her instead.

But in this way, his teaching career is over.She couldn't understand the senior management of Beiyu University very well. For them, this trending search was definitely an unbearable scandal.

"What's the matter, your face is so solemn." William, who had packed up, walked up to her and asked.

Du Ruoying quickly pressed the lock screen button: "It's nothing... By the way, did you go out in the middle of the night last night?"

"Oh, why do you ask that?" William showed an unpredictable look on his face, which made Du Ruoying confirm her guess even more.

"Actually, before going to bed last night, just in case, I used 502 and toilet paper scraps to fix the two ends of a hair on the inside of the doorknob and the wall next to it. As long as someone goes out, the hair will be broken Broken. I went to see it this morning, and the hair is broken."

"So that's how it is." He thought thoughtfully, "Could it be that a thief came in last night? Ah, it was really a safe bet."

"Again sophistry...". VII

Du Ruoying rubbed her drowsy temples, and sighed softly: "And the teacher's uniform you are wearing now is the second set, right? It's not the same one you changed after taking a shower yesterday."

"Oh, have you been found?" William smiled lightly, "Yes, I changed after sweating a lot in the middle of the night. The two sets of clothes are still not enough, why don't I trouble you to accompany me to buy some more today."

Sure enough, he still refuses to recruit...

But never mind, the truth will come out sooner or later.It would be better for her if he really committed the crime last night.Because of this, it will only be a matter of time before he is punished with the help of the law.

She lowered her eyelashes and bit her lips secretly.

"Please, lend me some strength, Sherlock Holmes. Only in this way can I have the confidence to complete your confession..."

At 07:30 in the morning on the second floor of the third dining hall, the bright morning light shines on the clean dining table through the south glass window, warming the slightly fragrant air.Students in twos and threes shuttled back and forth with their own breakfasts, and sat sparsely in the seats in the dining area.As time gradually approached the peak at eight o'clock, the number of people in the cafeteria was also slowly increasing.

Du Ruoying and William each ordered a fried egg with bacon and soy milk, and they found an empty table at random and sat down.

"It's unbelievable," William smiled, shaking the chopsticks in his hand, "Thousands of teachers, students, and employees eat here together. They are either intimate, indifferent, or secretly jealous, but all So defenseless."

Hearing this, Du Ruoying couldn't help but pause the action of clamping the bacon: "Hey, you—you don't plan to attack the cafeteria, do you? If that's the case, I will never forgive you!"

"How could it be?" William shrugged, showing an innocent expression, "Do I look that bad?"

"Don't you 'look' good, you are a bad person." She said speechlessly.

"I see. It seems that Watson's words are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people... This makes me a little curious. How did he write about me?"

"He, he wrote that you are—"

A scream that resounded throughout the cafeteria suddenly cut off Du Ruoying's words.The two followed the prestige and found a few female students huddled together in front of the seats in the southeast corner not far away.It seems that because of too much fear, one of the people's breakfast has dropped on the ground, spilling everywhere.

Following their eyes, it is not difficult to find the reason for their panic - because sitting in front of them is a boy with an overly weird posture.

Due to their unintentional touch just now, this boy has suddenly fallen on the table, his hands are hanging down weakly, his skin is slightly purple, and he is motionless.If you take a closer look, you can find that his eyes are always open, and his expression is very painful and hideous.

He is dead……

Du Ruoying silently looked at William who was beside him. He obviously saw the whole situation clearly very quickly.

He frowned slightly, his pupils constricted.That shock was not a fake.
