In the ward, Du Ruoxian was sitting in front of the bed table, quietly operating the laptop.

The door opened with a creak, and Police Officer Lu came in with a bag of apples in his hand: "I'll go... Ruoxian, can you stop being so curt? You won't let go of work even when you're on sick leave, and it's very difficult to work. Poor!"

"You're here, sit down." Du Ruoxian said, his eyes still on the screen.

"What are you filling out, let me take a look?" Officer Lu leaned forward, "You want to apply for transfer to the road team's anti-crime task force? Why? Yuan team abused you again?"

"No, I saw that the task force was urgently deploying personnel to form a team today, so I wanted to apply for a try."

"I see. Are you interested in the case that Captain Lu is dealing with?" Police Officer Lu understood, "That's true, even if it's for your sister's safety, you definitely can't let it go."

He suddenly lowered his voice and whispered to Du Ruoxian: "To be honest, I also feel that Professor William is not simple. I read his testimony and feel that he must have concealed something.

"A foreigner who is alone in a foreign country, went to the beach to relax alone at night, and happened to be targeted by a criminal gang, and then kidnapped him. This kind of thing sounds strange, right? For no reason, why did the criminal gang kidnap him? Are you full?"

Du Ruoxian lowered his gaze.

"According to the situation at the scene, this professor might have killed a lot of guys with guns with just a dagger. The blood on the wall was so high that it looked like a knife sealed his throat. And there were so many bullet marks at the scene, but he only Suffering from bullet wounds, this is definitely not something ordinary people can do, even those who have received special training may not be able to do it.” Officer Lu became more and more excited as he spoke, “That criminal gang has hit a hard bone, so they can only eat Coptis chinensis dumb— —In order not to expose the identities of the members, no matter whether they were dead or alive, they all packed up and took them on the road together. There was not even a quail left for us at the scene. Now, this professor even asked whether he was suspected of excessive self-defense. There is no need to discuss any issues.”

Du Ruoxian nodded calmly.

He was not surprised by the news that Officer Lu brought.After all, the real identity of that professor was Moriarty. A counter-kill on this scale—or, in other words, a unilateral massacre—may not be worth mentioning to this Napoleon of the criminal world.

Of course, he can't tell others about this kind of thing for the time being.

In addition, he finally had some clues about Du Ruoying's reason for getting close to Moriarty - Du Ruoying obviously wanted to use Moriarty's power to eradicate that criminal gang.If, as an elder brother, he could solve these troubles for her as soon as possible, then she would naturally be able to get rid of Moriarty's control as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Du Ruoxian's gaze became firmer.

for sure

To rescue Xiaoying...

On the other side, in William's ward, it was extremely lively at the moment, because the students from the drama club came to visit him.

Seeing that William was not seriously injured, Liao Jun breathed a sigh of relief.

"Actually, tomorrow is the audition for the school drama festival. If we can pass it smoothly, we will be able to perform on stage the day after tomorrow." Liao Jun explained, "I was a little worried when I heard that Teacher William was injured. I don't know if you can continue to play the leading role."

"It's all minor injuries, I think it shouldn't matter." William smiled warmly, then turned to look at Du Ruoying, "We will go to rehearsal tonight, right, classmate Xiaoying?"

"Well," Du Ruoying scratched her head embarrassingly, "But Will, you don't have to force yourself too much. If it really doesn't work, I'll ask Xia...see if he is willing to replace—"

As she spoke, she suddenly reacted.

etc--

Let Sherlock Holmes play the role of Sherlock Holmes?

This……

It's a bit exciting to think about it! ! !

"It's better not to bother Xia Li," William said, "Even for him, it is very hard to memorize all the lines and actions of the script in one day today, and then perfectly cope with tomorrow's review."

"That's right." Du Ruoying nodded in frustration.

"Huh? What's the matter with me?" Sherlock, who had smoked enough cigarettes outside, happened to open the door and come in at this moment. He looked at the people in the room and couldn't help frowning.

"We are discussing the drama festival at the end of the school term." Du Ruoying said.

"The script of the performance is "The Last Case", which is the story of the duel between Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty," William explained to Sherlock, "and Xiaoying plays Irene Adler in it."

"Let this stupid girl play Irene? Hey, are your eyes okay?!" Sherlock exclaimed in astonishment, "And, our duel...ah no, their duel, what's the matter with Irene?"

"Xia Li, don't say that, classmate Xiaoying's acting skills are very good, and this is a new story they have carefully adapted. The plot is very interesting, and you will know when you come to see it."

"No, no, I won't go," Sherlock waved his hand in disgust, "drama or something, it's just a toy used to amuse people who are overfed. It doesn't have to be boring to death, then it still has a little bit of value. But, should I waste time on it? No, never!"

As soon as these words came out, the aura in the room suddenly became low.

Du Ruoying gave William a displeased look. She didn't understand why she had never noticed it before——William, this guy is really good at talking and talking, and he can easily seduce Sherlock to make a move. A lot of disgusting low EQ speeches.

In this embarrassing atmosphere, the students in the drama club couldn't stay any longer, and it didn't take long before they politely said goodbye and left.

There were only four of them left in the ward.

"Actually, this theatrical performance is not just for fun. We are investigating a case - the disappearance of the leading actor that happens every year in the drama club. In order to catch the murderer, we have no choice but to join in," Du Ruoying said to Sherlock , "Mr. Holmes, we really need your help."

No matter what kind of moth William intends to make, it is right to draw Sherlock to his side first.

Hearing the word case, Sherlock at least put away his contemptuous look, cleared his throat, and said to Du Ruoying awkwardly, "Just call me Sherlock."

Alright, the distance between you and your idol has gone one step further!

Du Ruoying was ecstatic.

Sherlock paused, and then asked William: "So, this drama club case is your task five?"

"No, this is just Xiaoying's entrustment out of good intentions." William said, "Speaking of tasks, I have a question for you, Xia Li, what is your reward for task one?"

"Aural synchronization."

"Sure enough," William began to think seriously, "It seems that your rewards are the same as ours, which means that you don't have a legal status yet, right? Because that will only be available after the completion of task two award."

"Legal status... ah, so it is true!" Sherlock was stunned.

"The police wanted to ask you for questioning before, but because you were not awake, they had to put it on hold, but now that you are awake, the police will come to your door at any time," William said. They will be sent back to the country, which will affect the progress of the subsequent missions. Am I right, Xiaoying?"

"Well... that's right." Du Ruoying said guilty.

William's weird stare with a half-smile made her suddenly remember that she was trying to use the trick of "repatriation" to settle William. She thought she would succeed, but she was rewarded by this cheating system put together.

This guy is still holding grudges?

"For safety's sake, Xia Li," William's expression suddenly became serious, "you'd better leave quickly, and don't show up easily until task two is completed, especially not let the police find you."

"You're right." Sherlock nodded.

"I will pay for the medical expenses for you in advance. You don't have to worry about being charged with owing money to the hospital." William said, "The doctor has probably informed the police about your waking up. You'd better do it now. Walk."

"Thanks, Lian, thanks for reminding me," Sherlock picked up Li Mo, who was in a daze on the bed, and stepped on the window sill, "See you after task two is over, when the time comes, we will have a good get-together." Get together!"

After that, he took Li Mo and jumped out of the window.

Du Ruoying caught up and saw that they had already slipped down the canopy and the water pipes, and soon climbed up the wall of the hospital's logistics entrance, and they were about to escape from the hospital.

At the same time, a police car was already blocked at the main entrance downstairs.

"What were you guys talking about just now? It was so hard for me to hear..." Li Mo spoke in difficult English on the wall, "I can only hear one thing - that girl seems to regard you as an 'idiot' (idiot), yes Bar?"

"It's an 'idol' (idol) not an 'idiot', you idiot!" Sherlock dissatisfied, "I can't bear it, the IQ of the entire ward has been lowered by you!"[1]

"Idols are not the same as idiots!" Li Mo protested, "So why did we suddenly 'render' (enscape)?" He continued to ask Sherlock.

"...It's 'escape'." Sherlock was so angry that his hair exploded, "Can you shut up for me until you find the translation machine?"

"No! English needs to be spoken and practiced more to be 'improper'!"

"You're 'impolite' enough."

"Huh? Isn't it 'impolite'? What is that supposed to be?"

"You meant to say 'improve'..."

Sherlock couldn't understand why he had to teach English now when he only agreed to teach this brat how to fight at first.

Du Ruoying watched the running figures of the two gradually disappear, and finally disappeared completely at the end of her vision. Even so, she still stayed by the window, unwilling to leave.

No, not so much a reluctance to go away as a reluctance to believe.

It was with great difficulty that Mr. Sherlock Holmes, whom she had admired for a long time, arrived. Before she could figure out her plan to turn against him, why did she run away and disappear? !

Ah, it's all William's fault!

hateful……

Behind her, William silently watched her lost figure.

He clearly remembered that since entering this world, Du Ruoying's gaze had been fixed on him and never left. Although most of the time it was for the purpose of monitoring, sometimes it was out of appreciation.

However, Sherlock's appearance took away the gaze.

Thinking of this, an unspeakable dull pain suddenly tightened his heart.

In terms of psychology, this should be regarded as a "baby bird effect". After being in the dark and closed environment of the "resurrection system" for a long time, people's emotions can easily become sensitive and subtle. She will have an irrepressible affection for the first living creature she meets again, not to mention, she has been taking care of herself and helping herself adapt to this strange environment. [2]

But what about knowing these?

For the first time in his life, William felt the powerlessness of extensive knowledge.

It is true that science can unravel the mysteries of human emotions, which is as simple as dismantling a magician's deceptive tricks. However, once he really encounters such an emotional trap, he still inevitably falls into it.

It's too late until you wake up.

The rehearsal at night was still as usual, and William didn't take it too seriously. He knew that the real highlight of this case was actually the proof review tomorrow.

After the rehearsal, he went to the backstage corridor alone, and lit a cigarette after a long absence.

"Hey, didn't you say you quit smoking?" A familiar voice sounded beside you.

William looked sideways, and found a tall and thin figure wearing a peaked cap standing very close to him, but he didn't notice it. The other person seemed to have been standing here for a long time, maybe even earlier than William. Come.

how come……

"It seems that quitting smoking is a lie? It's just that you don't want to part with me?" the other party continued.

"Sherlock, what are you doing here?" William finally realized.

"During the day, didn't that girl say that the drama club had a case and wanted me to help?"

"Why?" William smiled wryly, "You think I'm not competent?"

"If you were usually you, it would be easy to deal with this kind of case, but today, your condition is not good, and I am a little worried."

"Thanks to Mr. Holmes' concern, in fact, I am in a very good condition today." William said coldly, "Or—do you think I am the type who will be too delicate after a little trauma?"

"No, I mean," Sherlock walked in front of William and lightly punched his left chest, "You are in a bad state today."

The crimson pupils moved slightly.

"Lian, you are too gentle, you always want to protect everyone, but you always miss yourself." Sherlock also lit a cigarette, "I have seen everything during the day—you are constantly She is used to doing things that annoy her, but as far as I know, Lian, you have never been a person who likes to annoy others."

"It's normal for people like me to be hated after being exposed?" William said in a low voice, "Xia Li, you are too caring."

"Take it as my overthinking, I'm not good at this kind of thing at all," Sherlock smiled, "In my opinion, the so-called love is nothing more than sand in a precision instrument, a crack in a high-powered microscope interfere with rational judgment.[1]

"Your reason tells you that she can't like you, so you keep doing and saying things that annoy her—you want to protect her feelings from being hurt," Sherlock dusted off the cigarette , "But your heart doesn't think so."

"My reasoning is wrong, Mr. Holmes," William smiled slightly, "but thank you for your concern."

"Ahhh, the reasoning is wrong, what a pity," Sherlock scratched his head irritably, his eyes were still sharp under the childish movements, "Then consider me talking nonsense, but I still want to remind you One word—”

The blue pupils suddenly met the crimson pupils.

"This performance, be careful."
