The villain is trapped in the system and begs me to let him out [Moriarty who worries about the coun

At night, in the No. [-] coffee shop of Beiyu University.

The air is filled with a faint aroma of coffee, accompanied by the refreshing air of the air conditioner lingering around people, making people feel relaxed and comfortable.

A series of small and unique craft chandeliers emit warm light like candles, reflecting the wooden table under the lamps with a more retro texture.William, Du Ruoying, and Li Ruiqing sat together under a lamp in the corner of the coffee shop. On the table were a cup of English Earl Gray tea, a cup of cold-brewed vanilla caramel latte, and a cup of cocoa milk.In the liquid surfaces of the three cups of different colors, reflections of different tones are rippling.

Li Ruiqing handed a stack of information to Du Ruoying: "Sister Ruoying, these are all the information I can collect."

Du Ruoying took the folder and took a look. It contained news briefings, personnel lists and photos, as well as some photocopied letters and handwritten conversation records.From these materials, we can roughly see the basic situation of the four missing persons: all four of them are leading actresses with outstanding looks. What's more, they all disappeared in late June.

"Why is it all in late June?" Du Ruoying asked.

"Because of the campus art festival in late June every year, the drama club will put on a public program. I think my sister and the other three were all targeted during the art festival."

"If there really is a kidnapper, judging by his criteria for finding a target," William said, taking a sip of black tea, "If the drama club doesn't arrange for beautiful girls to play this year, will it be possible to avoid further tragedies?"

"We don't need to make arrangements for this kind of thing at all," Li Ruiqing said with a wry smile, "Nowadays everyone detours when they see the drama club, and we can't even get the actors together... So, I was wondering, can Senior Sister Ruoying help? Let me act as the leading role in this drama. The senior sister is so beautiful, she will definitely attract the kidnappers, and it will be more convenient to investigate if she is mixed into the drama club like this."

"Oh, it turns out that you are not only a detective, but also a bait." William glanced at Du Ruoying gloatingly, "But, Li Ruiqing, your appearance is obviously comparable to that of your sister. I think—— If you act , it shouldn't be difficult to lure the other party out, right?"

"I... I'm not good at acting," she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "I'm mainly in charge of writing scripts in the drama club, so I can't be the lead actor. I have severe stage fright, and my acting skills are not good, and, and... "

"Okay, okay," Du Ruoying sighed helplessly, "Since I can be the bait, let me do it. Junior girl, don't take his words to heart. You know, you are the client. There’s no need to risk yourself.”

"Really...thank you so much, senior."

"So, what kind of script is this time?" Du Ruoying asked.

Li Ruiqing took out a tablet from her bag and opened the electronic document for them to read: "Originally I wanted to write "Salome", but the director was worried that "Salome" would not pass the proofreading process. We discussed it and finally Decided to play Sherlock Holmes in The Last Case."

Hearing the words "the last case", Du Ruoying and William looked at each other in unison.

"But "The Last Case" doesn't have a leading actress... Do you want me to play a reverse role?" Du Ruoying asked.

"No, no, senior, take a closer look. This script is newly written by me, and the story is different from the original." Li Ruiqing said, "In this script, Moriarty kidnaps Irene Adler for Hostage, threatened Sherlock Holmes to commit suicide by jumping off the Reichenbach Falls..."

The plot of dog blood came so unexpectedly that William almost spit out the black tea from his mouth.

However, Li Ruiqing didn't notice this, and she continued: "But the kind Irene didn't want to be a burden to Holmes, so she resolutely bumped into Moriarty's long sword and died. Then, the grieving Holmes angrily and Moriarty Riati duels and finally manages to push the villainous villain off a cliff."

Hearing this, Du Ruoying couldn't help but sweat for the school girl.

"Hey, hey, the "big villain" you're talking about is sitting in front of you and looking at you right now. Is it really okay to talk about him face to face?"

Dangerous Schoolgirl Dangerous...

"So, you want me to play Irene?" Du Ruoying asked.

"Yes."

Seeing William's disgusted expression, Du Ruoying suddenly felt a dark feeling in her heart: "Well...well, then——I reluctantly agreed."

Even seeing the fake Holmes push the fake Moriarty off a cliff would be a relief.

Rounding it up, it can be regarded as humiliating the deity face to face.

"Student Xiaoying doesn't look like she's reluctant at all, but rather—a little happy?" William raised his eyebrows.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not happy." Du Ruoying lowered the corners of her mouth as she spoke, but there was still a faint smile at the end of her eyes, "So, how do you arrange the schedule?"

"Basically, it's an hour of rehearsal every night, and the official performance will be performed a week later. Can senior sister spare time?"

"Well, no problem."

"We usually meet from nine to ten o'clock in the evening, and we rehearse at the small stage of the University Student Activity Center." Li Ruiqing looked at her watch and said, "It's almost nine o'clock—how about we go and see together later? "

"Row."

So, after finishing their drinks, the three of them left the coffee shop and went to the University Student Activity Center.

The activity center of Beiyu University is located at the end of Qinxue Lake. The building looks very old, with traces of peeling white walls everywhere, and a thin layer of dust on the window glass.

The building is small in size and has three floors.On the first floor, someone could vaguely hear someone practicing the piano, playing Tchaikovsky's "June Boat Song". The sound was intermittent, and it seemed that they were not very proficient.The second floor is much quieter in comparison. It is mainly club activity rooms and administrative offices. Most of the rooms are dark with lights and closed doors.The third floor was much more lively. Hip-hop songs with a strong sense of rhythm came from the dance room, and the din of students playing wantonly echoed in the small auditorium.

Li Ruiqing led the way, while Du Ruoying and William walked behind.

"This junior of yours is really not simple. Even this script is probably specially prepared for you in advance." William whispered to her as he walked, "Are you so willing to be used?"

"Okay, they must have been desperate to come up with such a bad plan, so don't try to stir up discord." Du Ruoying quietly waved at him, "It's not clear what the circumstances of these disappearances are, and someone has to come to investigate Be clear about this matter. Take a step back, even if there are kidnappers, they may not be interested in me this time. Besides, with you here, who can touch me?"

"So that's the case, you actually use me while taking advantage of the mission?" William said clearly, "That's right, otherwise you wouldn't dare to accept this kind of commission."

"Hmph, I learned everything from you." Du Ruoying smiled with her face tilted, looking rather smug.

Anyway, there is such a handy and handy boss by my side all the time, so it's not for nothing.In the past days, she had already suffered too much because of him. As the saying goes, it is not too much to take some compensation.

Most importantly, she firmly believed that under the shackles of the mission rules, he would never let her life be in danger.

In this regard, William just smiled kindly.

In fact, he didn't mind being used by her like this.Just like the last arson case, as she played more and more, she naturally caused more and more problems, which also caused her to become more and more dependent on him.

And dependence is a seemingly invisible, but actually deadly thing.

Once infected, it is difficult to get rid of it.

"That's right, just fall into it step by step, student Xiaoying, fall into the comfortable net I prepared for you, and enjoy everything I have done for you. Then, one day you will find that you can no longer break free out."

In the auditorium, William and Du Ruoying saw the rest of the drama club, so Li Ruiqing introduced each other to them.

The tall man standing in the center of the stage is Liao Jun, the president of the drama club, a senior in the acting department.He is also the director of The Last Case.This man is tall and tall, with a wheat-yellow complexion, thick eyebrows and big eyes, thick lips, and a high nose bridge. He looks simple and friendly.He wore a brown deer hat and carried an old revolver.It seems that he also has the role of Sherlock Holmes.

The boy next to him was about the same height as him, but with a thin face, Du Ruoying immediately recognized that he was Lin Zijian, a sophomore in the Department of Fine Arts, and he was also a well-known grassroots student.It's not hard to tell from his outfit in a dark suit and holding a long sword that he plays Moriarty in this show.His slender and slightly raised eye tails did indeed have a somewhat evil temperament.

There is a girl under the stage who is adjusting the camera and tripod to prepare for the shooting. There are bags of cosmetics and performance props piled up beside her. It seems that she is mainly responsible for Fu Huadao.She is Zhou Han, a freshman at Jianyuan, and Li Ruiqing's roommate. She speaks Mandarin with a very pleasant Hokkien accent.

Another girl looks much more mature. She is Li Wen, a sophomore in the Department of Journalism. She is tall and slender, with thick wavy hair, wearing a slim black camisole and black shorts, which outlines a seductive silhouette Body curves.She was also sitting under the stage, with a laptop on her lap, and was seriously adjusting the audio.

"This is all our members." Li Ruiqing smiled with some embarrassment.

"This... is really short of people." Looking at such an empty auditorium, Du Ruoying couldn't help feeling sad for them.

"So I'm really grateful to Du Ruoying for your willingness to play the role of Irene." President Liao Jun shook hands with Du Ruoying very excitedly, and then looked at William, "Is this classmate here to help too? "

"No, he's not a classmate, he's Teacher William who works in the library." Li Ruiqing hurriedly explained, "He's just here to accompany Senior Sister Ruoying."

"Such a young teacher, I thought he was a senior like me." Liao Jun said, "By the way, teacher, why don't you come and help us make up the number of people, you are so good-looking, just be an audience If so, wouldn’t it be a waste of money?”

"You actually want a noble born in the [-]th century to act with you, I suggest you dream faster..."

Du Ruoying glanced at Liao Jun sympathetically, wanting to stop his impolite request, but he suddenly grabbed William's hands and raised the decibel further: "According to my many years as a director From the point of view, you can't be wrong, teacher, there is absolutely no one more suitable than you to play the leading role in this play!"

...? ! !

Let William be the protagonist of "The Last Case"?

Oh, there's nothing wrong with playing yourself.

It seems that although senior Liao Jun is a simple-looking person, his intuition as a director is quite accurate, and it is so accurate to a frightening degree.

Du Ruoying glanced at William secretly, and saw that his expression was very calm, and he couldn't tell whether he wanted to refuse or agree.

"Please—" Liao Jun still took William's hand, "play our Sherlock Holmes!"

As soon as these words came out, Du Ruoying immediately petrified, and even began to doubt her own ears.

"I'm stupid...how did I forget that in the eyes of ordinary people, the protagonist is actually Sherlock Holmes? But why does he think that Moriarty himself is suitable to play Sherlock Holmes? I'm blind, I'm blind, I'm absolutely blind Bar?"

"Oh?" William suddenly showed a meaningful smile, "Sounds very interesting."

bad...

This guy William seems to be getting excited too...

She hurriedly waved her hands, interrupting their heated conversation: "I! No! Agree! Agreed!"

"Why?" Liao Jun asked in confusion.

"How can such a person be suitable to play Sherlock Holmes?!" Seeing Liao Jun's innocent appearance, she was so angry that she almost wanted to slap the phrase "Are you blind" on his forehead.

But Liao Jun just smiled naively: "Of course the protagonist has to find the most handsome person to play. My appearance is not comparable to Zijian, but Mr. William is different. He naturally has a lot of British gentleman temperament. You don’t need to act deliberately. Moreover, if you look at his eyes again, he looks very sharp, doesn’t he? It’s true that he’s more suitable as a detective than me. Artie is abducted."

"..." Du Ruoying was so choked by his words that she couldn't fight back, she tried her best to calm herself down.

If you think about it carefully, if you let Liao Jun play Sherlock Holmes and let Moriarty himself play Moriarty, there will be a huge difference in appearance and acting skills.In case William really fooled the audience and caused some kind of strange publicity effect, it didn't seem to be a good thing.

In contrast, it would be more conducive to social harmony to let him wear the vest of Sherlock Holmes and talk about the principle of "justice must prevail".

"Then...well then...you are right..." Although she could only agree, she was still a little unwilling in her heart.

You know, this is Sherlock Holmes, the most sacred and inviolable Holmes in her mind!But now he will be ruined by Moriarty himself...

"I can play Sherlock Holmes, but I still have a small request," William said, "I think the current script still has some room for improvement. I wonder if you would like to listen to my suggestion."

"Yes, yes, of course!" Liao Jun nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"I think—" William looked at Li Ruiqing, "this script can be more attractive in shaping the heroine. Irene in the original book is a woman full of wisdom and independent spirit. Sherlock Holmes Wouldn't it be too flimsy for the existence that Mister admires and respects the most, if he just appeared as a hostage held by Moriarty?"

"It's really a little thin to say that." Li Ruiqing suddenly said.

"I suggest adding another layer of plot and changing the story to this—" William said to her in a persuasive voice, "In the first act, Irene carried evidence and defected from the evil Moriarty organization, Wanting to hand over the evidence to Holmes, he was caught up by Moriarty halfway and became his hostage. Moriarty used this to coerce Holmes to commit suicide by jumping off Reichenbach. In the second act, although Irene still bumped into On the edge of Moriarty's sword, but it is actually a fake death. Unaware of Holmes, he rushed up to duel with Moriarty in a rage, and pushed Moriarty off the cliff. In the third act, when Holmes stood up again While stabilizing his heels, he was suddenly pierced by a long sword. He turned around and saw Irene holding the hilt of the sword, his face was full of surprise, and then, Irene also pushed him into the cliff—it turned out that she was responsible for the whole incident The biggest villain in the world, in order to annex Moriarty's organization, deliberately planned all this..."

Everyone was fascinated by William's new story, except Du Ruoying.

"Hey! What do you mean? How did you turn me into the biggest villain?"

"However, after this modification, Irene's character is indeed more three-dimensional." Li Ruiqing blinked and said. .seven

"Well, I also think this version is better, with richer characters and more twists and turns in the plot." Lin Zijian mused.

Liao Jun also had an expression of being persuaded by William: "The teacher is really a genius, the reversal at the end is amazing, and the audience must have never thought of it. Hey, if other people have no objections, let's change it accordingly." Bar!"

"I have no objection, I will vote for the new version." Li Wen said.

"I have no objection either." Zhou Han said.

"Okay, now it's approved by five votes—plus I get six votes." William said happily, "So, what about student Xiaoying?"

"..."

At this time, Du Ruoying had a sentence in her heart that MMP must say.
