William glanced at Du Ruoying beside him, only to see that she also gave him shocked and suspicious glances.He had no choice but to sigh helplessly, and continued to torture and ask, "Who is that Moriarty you mentioned...?"

"I... I advise you not to continue to inquire... If you continue to investigate, even you will die..." Uncle Zhang replied weakly, "You should call the police, I plead guilty, I confess everything..."

"Don't worry, the moonlight is so beautiful tonight, I think we can chat for a while longer." William smiled gently, "I'm sorry I accidentally misplaced your knuckles just now, so I just sent you in If you are in prison, your daily life will definitely be very inconvenient in the future, and I happen to know a little bit about medicine, so I might as well take this opportunity to help you move your joints back."

"No! I beg you...just let me go to prison...there will be doctors..."

"Don't worry, it's just a joint dislocation, it's easy to cure. I promise I'm no worse than a prison doctor."

"Impossible, don't lie to me... Dislocation of joints... How could dislocation of joints be so painful!"

"Well—of course it's because I have special skills~" After finishing speaking, he suddenly snapped back Uncle Zhang's index finger that was twisted outward, and seeing Uncle Zhang's hideous expression that was so painful that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, Even Du Ruoying couldn't bear to turn her face away.

"Please, don't torture me anymore, it's really not that I don't want to say..." Uncle Zhang took a deep breath and explained to them, "I'm doing this for your own good... You are still young, there is no need for this I will ruin myself...Xiaoying, Xiaoying, please persuade him!"

Du Ruoying gritted her teeth, took out the calling machine and contacted Bai Qirun: "Call 110 and 119 for me, the abandoned warehouse."

"Even if the police can rush over, it will still take some time. Can you - can you last until then?" William said and reset Uncle Zhang's second finger.

"Ahhh!"

"Still don't tell me?"

"I said...I said...but, I guarantee that you will regret it after listening to it—" Uncle Zhang cried, "No one knows who that lord is, and he has only existed in the market for a long time. According to the legend, he is said to provide plans for those who want to commit crimes but cannot find a way. Until one day I received a letter, and I finally realized that he really exists.”

"A letter?"

"The grown-up said in the letter that he understood my distress and was willing to help me find a way to solve it. The letter was signed by Moriarty."

"How do you know it must be the letter from that adult? Maybe it's just a prank."

"Because the wax seal on that letter is very special." Uncle Zhang said, "I didn't believe it at first. I took the seal seal to an old friend. He is a very knowledgeable expert in forensic science and knows a little bit about it. He told me that the wax seal was real...but what I didn't expect was that the next day I saw the news of his death in a car accident on the news..."

"So you are more convinced?"

"Yes... I looked at the letter and I felt scared..."

"You feel scared, but you still kill people according to the instructions in the letter."

"I was really cornered, if I didn't kill him..." Uncle Zhang choked up, "Hey, now that I think about it, I must have been fascinated by the devil to believe in the nonsense of perfect crime. "

Du Ruoying frowned and said, "If you don't kill him... what do you mean? All along, the person who took care of that old man the most is obviously you, Uncle Zhang."

"It's the dean... The dean said, if I can't drive away that crazy old man who affects the school's image... then I will be the one who leaves... But I can't live without this job. We need money. We are approaching retirement age, what else can we do besides being a security guard, where else would we be needed?

"Hey, the people above only need to state their demands without pain, but the people below are full of despair and hardship when they implement them. Tell me, I'm just a security guard, how can I get rid of that old man? I begged the guard at the school gate not to let that crazy old man in again, but you also know that there are many dog ​​holes in the railing of the school wall that people can get in, and the old man can still get in. I tried to persuade the old man, I tried my best to get in touch with him, and talked to his son, hoping he would stop letting his father hang out in the sun and rain every day, but it didn't work. I even tried to expel him in a rough way. Unexpectedly, he was bumped into by the students. They threatened me that next time they did this, they would expose me on the Internet and make me lose my job... A few days ago, the dean gave me an ultimatum for the last three days. I really ran out of ideas... Then I remembered that letter... I was fascinated... I followed the instructions in the letter, dragged the old man to drink in an empty classroom, and then locked him in the The classroom burned to death..."

"You were really fascinated, and you actually took a life for such a reason..." Du Ruoying murmured unwillingly, "Then, in order to cover up your first crime, you almost committed the second crime. "

However, William didn't want to hear him continue to recount the details of the case. He silently reset his third finger, and after his labor pains passed, he continued to ask in a cold voice: "The letter—I guess it has been destroyed by you, Then tell me what the wax seal looks like."

"Fire...fire paint seal...can't go any further...You guys will really be killed by your own curiosity..."

"Don't bother you, just tell me." William smiled, "Or do you want me to loosen other joints for you?"

"Oh no, I said, I said...it was a red seal with complicated patterns, I remember...I remember its pattern, a dragon on the left, a griffin on the right, and a shield in the middle There are three spiders in it, and a helmet on the shield..."

"Enough." William interrupted him with a heavy expression, "I see, this pattern...you don't need to say any more."

The familiar sound of sirens gradually came from far away, and the red and blue flashing lights quickly approached them.

"I beg you," said Uncle Zhang finally, "don't mention that lord when you give the police a statement. If you want to live... I won't admit his existence. That lord is everywhere. There is an eyeliner, we can't hide everything from him, the car accident of the forensics expert has proved this point... So I beg you, don't mention it to anyone again, don't implicate me..."

Soon, Uncle Zhang was taken away by the police.

The fire had been extinguished, and only the half-collapsed warehouse remained, as well as Du Ruoying and William who fell silent.The two each wore a blanket left by the police, thinking about their own thoughts in the night wind.

"What are you thinking about?" Du Ruoying broke the silence first.

"I was thinking that the original purpose of investigating the fire was to prove my innocence to you, but now it seems to be getting darker and darker." William said with a wry smile.

"You've proven it."

"Oh?"

"I believe you are not the one who wrote to Uncle Zhang."

Hearing this, William was startled at first, and then smiled knowingly: "Then what do Xiaoying think, that Moriarty who wrote the letter?"

"There are three possibilities that I can think of," she said, "First, some descendant of your family, who has made a mistake in his brain, traveled all the way from England to guide criminals in our country to do things; Second, someone is using your name to play tricks; third, you also have a split personality..."

"Forget about the third one..." he said speechlessly, "I'm also inclined to think it's the first two. No matter who he is, since he dared to do such a dirty thing in the name of Moriarty , you must be mentally prepared to accept punishment.”

"Well, then you work hard." She patted him on the shoulder earnestly, with an expression of staying out of the matter.

William sneered and took her hand off her shoulder: "You really are a smart little oriole, classmate Xiaoying, I'm starting to appreciate you a little bit." 7K 妏敩

"Little... little squirrel?" Du Ruoying turned her face away in panic, "I... don't know what you're talking about."

"Isn't it an old saying in your country that the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole follows. The oriole doesn't have to do anything, and can get double benefits, isn't it very similar to you?" He looked up at the stars in the sky and sighed softly. , "The acting is really good, even I was deceived by you. In the arson case, you pretended to be ignorant, lured the enemy step by step, and even put yourself in danger, just to let me take action You know that I will have a way to make the murderer confess. And you only need to secretly record all this, and you can save the murderer's life and bring him to justice. Everything is as you calculated, isn't it? Now, In the face of this new mystery, do you want to repeat the old tricks?" His voice sounded calm, with a gentle smile on his face, without the slightest sullenness of being deceived.

However, this made her panic even more...

"I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense." She waved her hands stiffly in denial.

"It's okay, you don't have to be afraid to admit it, I think you've done a good job." William smiled, "It's like playing chess. If the opponent is too weak and loses every step, it will actually make me feel boring. To be honest, I'm very happy that you can do something that surprised me, it seems that in the next battle, I can be a little more serious about you."

"a ha ha ha……"

Well, he looked genuinely happy, but she wasn't happy at all—

Not only was he not happy, but he was so frightened that he cried out.

She decided to change the subject to ease the heavy atmosphere: "Speaking of it... When did you realize that Uncle Zhang is the murderer? Was it when he didn't agree with us staying at the scene, or did he find out that he was holding the glue in our hands?" When guns are interested?"

"Well, I noticed it when I watched the news for the first time." He said frankly.

"Ahaha, look, sure enough, you saw the truth earlier than me. I didn't realize it until I took out the glue gun." She said, "You are still amazing, tell me how you did it Arrived?"

"Simple." He glanced helplessly at the sycophant in front of him, but he only saw the full desire to survive, "It was said in the news that the security guard on duty stayed on the first floor without knowing it on the night of the fire. However, This method of arson and murder has a very fatal problem-if the murderer is someone else, then the risk of security patrols leading to the incident must be dealt with. Unless-the murderer himself is the identity of the security guard, so that the murder plan can be executed perfectly. "

"I see." She nodded obediently.

"In short, you owe me the favor of the arson case in the department building, so think about how to pay me back. Well, it's getting late. Let's go, go home." He suddenly held out his hand to her , "Do you want to carry it, or hug it?"

"...?!!"

What kind of sudden tiger-wolf words is this?

Just when Du Ruoying was about to firmly push away his malicious pig's hooves, but she looked down at her soft and tender bare feet, and then raised her eyes to see the sharp and hard gravel around her. Immediately fell into a coward again: "Back... let's... trouble you..."

"The voice is too low to hear clearly." He said with a smirk.

...Well, you golden retriever, you've won this one!

She looked around at the desolate environment, and finally decided to lower her face: "Please memorize—" But before she finished speaking, he had already firmly memorized her.

"Oh, classmate Xiaoying succumbed quite quickly this time, if I knew it, I would have waited for you to finish shouting before reciting it." He teased.

However, Du Ruoying didn't speak back to him, she just silently tightened her grip on his hair.

"Hey... don't pull your hair!" William frowned.

"I'm helping you pull out your gray hair, don't you know? In our country, this is an act of intimacy." She said happily, "Oh, look at the sequelae of excessive brain use, there are so many gray hairs, how about Let me unplug it for you."

"Is classmate Xiaoying colorblind? That's blond hair. Hiss—you pull it again... If you pull it again, please walk back by yourself." The tone was calm, but it was obviously full of threats.

"Ah! Ah, I really didn't grab it this time, I accidentally caught it on the button of the clothes."

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! This time it's on the bracelet..."

"..."

William Cat continues to accumulate anger points~

In this way, the voices of the two people quarreling with each other echoed on the lonely road and became farther and farther away.

As the moonlight set in the west, the light gray shadow behind him was stretched very, very long.
