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

In the make-up removal room at the backstage of the auditorium, an old talk show was playing back on the wall-mounted TV. The guest sitting opposite the beautiful short-haired female anchor was Xu Fu.

"As a professor at the New Film Academy and also an important guide for young people in their careers in the entertainment industry, Mr. Xu, what do you think of the fact that many young people are keen to become Internet celebrities?" the host asked.

"Young people have a strong desire to express themselves, and they are eager to show themselves. This is a good thing." Xu Fu licked his dry lower lip leisurely, as if reminiscing about an unforgettable delicacy.

"But it is also easy for them to become eager to get attention. I have seen many students start to pay too much attention to their appearance in order to do live broadcasts-plastic surgery, beautification, buying cosmetics and clothes beyond their financial means, completely ignoring The importance of inner accumulation, doesn't that worry you?"

"It's nothing to worry about, and in this day and age, it's nice to have the freedom to embrace the options that young bodies really desire..."

The interview on TV was still going on, but the people in the dressing room didn't care. Now, their attention was all on this greeting card from unknown origin.

"What does this formula mean?" Liao Jun asked.

Du Ruoying slowly wrote the result of the calculation on the paper:

x = 117.16967846666614

Y = 39.111069463656946

"It looks like a positioning coordinate," she mused. "Anyway, William and I will go and have a look later..."

"Let's go too!" Li Ruiqing and Liao Jun said in unison.

"No, that's too dangerous!" Du Ruoying immediately refused.

"Because of the danger, everyone should act together." Liao Jun said relentlessly, "Or—are you worried that we will hold you back?"

"That was not what I meant……"

"If it's the positioning coordinates," William suddenly said, and diverted the topic elsewhere, "Should we determine the origin of the coordinates first, otherwise we won't be able to know where it refers specifically?"

Du Ruoying looked at him suspiciously.

Coordinate origin?

What is this guy talking about?

Yeats picked up the greeting card and checked it over and over again: "But there is no other information on the paper."

Du Ruoying was about to interrupt, but William preempted her again: "I have a guess—I remember that the school has a main axis in the east-west direction and the north-south direction. If you regard them as the x-axis and y-axis respectively, the intersection point It’s like the origin.”

"Using it as the origin," Liao Jun called up the phone map, "117 meters to the east, and 93 meters to the north—ah, yes, it's a swimming pool!"

"Of course that's just one possibility," William said. "The other possibility is—since we received the greeting card here, maybe the origin refers to this auditorium."

Liao Jun immediately updated the data on the satellite map: "In that case, the target location is the library."

"I also have a guess," Yeats said, "does the origin of the coordinates refer to the school hospital? After all, there are only red roses planted at the entrance of the school hospital in the school. Since the roses and greeting cards are specially sent here, say Maybe it’s just to express this meaning—in this way, the coordinates refer to the conference building.”

"That analysis makes sense." William nodded.

Make sense?

Makes sense? !

Du Ruoying was about to argue, but seeing Du Ruoxian silently shook her head at her, she had no choice but to swallow the words back.

"Is it a bit far-fetched to use roses to convey the meaning of 'origin'?" Li Ruiqing asked timidly.

"Now, we can't figure out which address is the correct answer for a while. In other words, it is unwise to rule out any kind of conjecture," William said. How about going to these three places to have a look?"

Everyone unanimously agreed to William's proposal, and completed the allocation of target locations by drawing lots in groups.

"Everyone, if you find something at the target location, don't act rashly, contact other people first, and then act together after everyone is together." William instructed, "Be sure to pay attention to safety."

"Ah."

"it is good."

When everyone left, Du Ruoying finally said, "What are you trying to do by distracting them with such clumsy misleading?"

"I just fulfilled your expectations in a more effective way," William said with a smile, "You don't want to involve other people, do you, student Xiaoying?"

Fuck, this very familiar "cheap pot-throwing skill"...

Du Ruoying: md is such a dog!

But I have to admit that what he said is right, this kind of thing does not mean that the more people there are, the greater the chances of winning.

The greeting card was obviously sent by the murderer, and the other party didn't even set any limit on the number of people going to the target location. It can be seen that the other party's preparations were quite sufficient. The end of the whole army was wiped out.

Should I call the police?

But there are too few clues at hand, and I am afraid it is not enough to get help from the police.

Even this step is within the murderer's calculations...?

Thinking of this, Du Ruoying felt a little uneasy in her heart.

"By the way, Xiaoying said earlier that my words were clumsy and misleading." William's voice brought her back to her senses. "It seems that you have also noticed the real meaning of this coordinate."

"Yes," Du Ruoying said, taking out her mobile phone and calling up the electronic map, "Beiyu City is located at 117° east longitude and 39° north latitude, which happens to correspond to x and y in this set of equations. This is not a coincidence ——I'm afraid the information they imply is the latitude and longitude itself, otherwise there is no need to be accurate to fourteen digits after the decimal point."

She entered the previous calculation results into the longitude and latitude search bar, and suddenly, a bright red anchor point landed on the corner of the Bei Yu University Medical Laboratory Building.

Du Ruoying raised the phone screen and faced William: "So, this is where we should really go, right?"

In the middle of the night, only two or three spots of white light remained in the medical laboratory building.

Standing at the door of the building, Du Ruoying couldn't help shivering - if I remember correctly, this building is full of weird things like anatomy rooms, morgues, and human specimen storage rooms...

An inconspicuous iron door stood in the corner indicated by the coordinates. The iron door was slightly hidden, and the blue-gray spray paint had peeled off in large pieces, revealing dark red rust marks.Pushing the door open and walking in, the cool air mixed with the faint smell of disinfectant water hits the face.

The passage behind the iron gate is not very deep, and the end can be seen at a glance. The end is full of old sundries, and the dust is thick.In contrast, the ground seemed much cleaner.

Before taking two steps, Du Ruoxian suddenly stepped on an iron plate, causing a hollow sound. When he lifted the iron plate, he saw a strange square well below, with a dark steel ladder hanging on the mouth of the well. Straight to the unknown abyss below.

Du Ruoxian poked the beam of the flashlight in: "I didn't expect there to be such a place in the school."

"It's a bit like the maintenance shaft of the underground equipment room." Du Ruoying said.

"Does the medical building actually need an underground equipment room?"

"That's not true." Du Ruoying took out her mobile phone and searched the old school map. "This manhole looks like it's old, maybe it's older than the laboratory building. I remember that Bei Yu University was first established in the Westernization Movement. After that, it has experienced many wars and reconstructions. You see, during the warlord's reign, this location used to be a bathhouse, and there should be a boiler room underneath, maybe it is it."

"I see." William nodded slightly, "If this is the place where the murderer is going to meet us, it is really dangerous."

"Yes." Du Ruoying looked down at the bottom of the bottomless well, and felt a burst of fear in her heart.

As if aware of her small thoughts, William suddenly suggested: "Let me go down and check the situation first, and then you guys will follow."

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I let you go down alone!" Du Ruoying pulled him back.

"What? Worried about my safety?" He raised the corners of his mouth happily.

"That's, that's not it!" Du Ruoying was out of breath for a while, "I'm worried about the murderer's safety, okay?"

"Ah, classmate Xiaoying is really heartless." William sighed helplessly, "But having said that, the murderer must have prepared a trap waiting for us. If we all go down together and then all get caught, then there is really no harm." Saved. Someone has to go down first to find the way, right?"

"Then I can—"

"The murderer's target is you. If you are caught, wouldn't you be in the murderer's arms?"

"Even so, I can't just wait here, can I?"

"It's not that you have nothing to do. If the murderer escapes from here later, I have to trouble you and Officer Du to settle him down."

"No, I'm still worried about you!" Du Ruoying pursed her lips in displeasure.

Who are you kidding?Facing him, would the murderer have a chance to escape?Wouldn't it be nice to leave a whole body when you die down there? !

"Then do you want Officer Du to go down to explore the road?" William pretended to be puzzled, "If I remember correctly, the gunshot wound he suffered in the abdomen has not healed yet? Such a serious injury must have had a great impact on the body's movements ?”

"But..." Du Ruoying was at a loss for words.

William gently put his index finger to her lips to prevent her from continuing to protest: "If you are really worried, just keep talking with me, even if I am being monitored by you in real time, it is impossible Do something too extreme. In case you hear any abnormalities on the phone, you will have time to catch up." As he spoke, he put a pair of white wireless earphones into his ears and dialed Du Ruo at the same time. Ying's phone call.

Du Ruoying hesitated for a moment, and finally pressed the connect button: "Then... well, let's wait outside for a while."

Seeing William going down with a flashlight in his mouth and slowly disappearing from her sight, Du Ruoying couldn't bear it.

After all, she was the one who provoked this case, but now William is putting himself to the test. Although he is a villain who is not worthy of sympathy, isn't it more cruel for her to use such a villain so blatantly?

What if something happens to him?

Thinking of this, Du Ruoying unconsciously clenched the phone in her hand.

"how is the situation?"

"It's very deep, I'm still going inside," William's voice came from the speaker, with a shallow echo, "I just passed a combustion chamber, it seems that your guess is right, it used to be a boiler house."

At this time, Du Ruoxian, who had been silent all this time, suddenly leaned over. He listened quietly for a while, his brows gradually furrowed.

"Did you find anything unusual?" Du Ruoxian asked this time.

"Not yet," William said.

"Are you still going inside?"

"Ah."

After listening to William's answer, Du Ruoxian seemed to be more convinced of something: "Qi Run, do you know how the crime of illegally intercepting electronic communications is punished in China?"

Du Ruoying:? ? !

"What... what Qirun?" William on the other end of the phone seemed to be a little flustered, "I... don't understand what you mean."

Du Ruoxian took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "Tell me—I'm calling Bai Qirun now, would he dare to answer it?"

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, which was then broken by a faint but familiar ringtone.

That was Bai Qirun's phone ringtone.

Knowing that he couldn't hide anymore, Bai Qirun simply took off his disguise and revealed his original voice: "This... this cannot be regarded as an illegal interception, I have the authorization of Brother Lian!"

Until then, Du Ruoying finally realized what happened. Since the person on the other end of the phone was Bai Qirun, it meant——

She lost contact with William!

"So Brother Xian, how did you discover my flaws?" Bai Qirun asked lazily, "I thought I imitated it very well."

"You really did a good imitation," Du Ruoxian said frankly, "but when you started talking to us instead of the professor, the echo on the phone and the sound of footsteps suddenly disappeared, so I couldn't help but be suspicious."

"So that's how it is..."

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with him," Du Ruoying hung up the call with Bai Qirun, and ran to the mouth of the well, "Hurry up, we have to chase William!" Unexpectedly, the phone rang again.

It was Liao Jun calling.

After answering the phone, Du Ruoying's face became even paler.

"what happened?"

"Liao Jun said that Li Ruiqing is gone." She clenched her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally made up her mind, "Forget about Li Ruiqing, it's important to chase William! He deliberately designed to get rid of us, he must have a bad plan."

At the same time, on the other side, holding a flashlight, William came to a circular steam boiler that was as tall as two people. The boiler door was wide open, and a strange figure was sitting in the depths of the iron wall.

It was the back of a woman. She was wearing a sleeveless light golden dress, her hands were tied behind the back of a wooden chair, and a hairpin similar to a rose greeting card was pinned to her delicately braided long hair.

For some reason, this back made him feel a little strange.

He walked slowly into the inner cavity of the boiler, only darkness and dead silence remained in his ears.It was too quiet, and I couldn't even hear the sound of breathing other than my own.

This made him finally understand that the girl on the chair might have already lost her breath.He put his hands on the other's smooth shoulders, the skin texture was stiff and greasy, as if it had been waxed, it was definitely not the skin that a living person would have.

William raised his hand and shone the white light of the flashlight on the other person's face, and found that the pretty face, which was as white as a porcelain doll, actually froze with an expression of extreme joy, as if death was a wonderful thing to enjoy.

Even he, seeing such a treacherous scene, couldn't help but feel a little horrified in his heart.

The beam of the flashlight continued to move down, and then focused on her chest. Through the translucent gold veil, he saw a huge Y-shaped wound, and he knew what this kind of wound meant—her internal organs must have been destroyed. Hollowed out.

Just as he was thinking about this strange corpse, the boiler door behind him was suddenly closed, and he rushed towards the door quickly, trying to push open the heavy iron door, but it was in vain.

A strange hissing sound gradually came from the ashes-like surroundings, like the weak breath of a poisonous snake. Wherever the beam of the flashlight went, the lingering white smoke could be seen slowly rising——

It's hypnosis gas!

Through the palm-sized flat transparent viewport, William saw Xu Fu outside the door.Xu Fu gently closed and locked the door of the boiler room, then turned around and smiled happily at William.

"Choose to go alone to meet Sherlock Holmes in Reichenbach...? Sure enough, as I expected, you—are really suitable for playing this role, professor."

"So your target...was me?" William clutched his mouth and nose tightly, trying to resist the infiltration of the hypnotic gas, but his body gradually felt a little weak. He held on to the doorknob weakly, half leaned against the door, and tried to stand up. stable.

"Congratulations, you finally came to your senses," Xu Fu applauded, "Unfortunately, it's a bit late."

"Hmm..." The flashlight fell from the palm of my hand and slowly rolled away from my feet.

"I know that your two little friends are still waiting for you outside and will come down at any time," Xu Fu continued, "but don't worry, I also prepared gas for them at the entrance, and I promise not to let them Bother us."

In the airtight boiler, the white smoke continued to pile up higher, gradually submerging the top of his head. Under the action of the gas, William felt that the voice in his ear, together with the candle of consciousness, was becoming weaker and weaker.

Soon, he fell into a complete coma.

After an unknown amount of time, a dazzling white light suddenly lit up in his field of vision, waking him up from the chaos.William struggled to open his eyes, and saw two huge white disks floating above his head.He tried to raise his hands to protect his eyes, but found that his four wrists were completely imprisoned on the operating table.

A hand wearing a white latex glove reached out to him, and unbuttoned his shirt one by one, revealing his fair and clean body.Immediately afterwards, a ball of wet cotton fell down, with a strong smell of alcohol, and wiped the body clean little by little.

Before he could react, a bright silver and cold scalpel appeared in front of his chest, and the blade slowly swirled a little in the void, with a hint of mischief.

"You are really different from my other collections," Xu Fu's voice sounded vague through the mask, "every one of them cried out of fear and begged me for mercy at every turn. But you still look so calm."

"Oh, are you finally willing to admit it?"

"Facing a dying person, there's nothing you can't admit," Xu Fu sneered, "I thought I'd enjoy seeing your frightened face, but you're in a good state now—calm, arrogant, unafraid fear."

"There was nothing to be afraid of."

"Oh? Is there nothing to be afraid of?" The blade deliberately stopped at the position of the heart, and pressed down a few minutes. Suddenly, a bean-sized blood drop oozed out from under the blade.

However, William did not show a pained expression. On the contrary, he looked relaxed: "Because I believe that you will not let me die in pain."

"I can't put it down more and more about you," Xu Fu picked up a transparent oxygen mask and tightly clasped William's mouth and nose, "Yes, you guessed it right, you won't die in pain, you Like them, I will die in the most extreme happiness-this oxygen mask is connected to a tank of hallucinogenic gas, which can completely immerse your senses in the hallucinations you most desire, so as to avoid the pain of surgery."

As he spoke, Xu Fu unscrewed the valve on the gas tank next to him. Soon, the oxygen mask was filled with a stream of lavender gas, and William coughed lightly from choking.

"Don't try to refuse it, or you will die in the next operation." Xu Fu whispered, turning the valve to a larger value, "Compared to a painful life that you can't ask for, dying in the bliss that satisfies you What's wrong with hallucinations?"

"Well……"

Under the influence of the drug, William's eyes widened dreamily.

"I'm really curious, what kind of illusion can you, Mr. Holmes, be willing to indulge in? Is it Moriarty's sword edge? Is it Irene's hug?" Xu Fu joked.

"E... Lin?" The remaining consciousness made William repeat the last word he heard.

The ruby-like pupils are already out of focus, but they are unusually bright under the stimulation of hallucinations, as if they are reflecting some kind of moving picture, false and beautiful, and extremely deceptive.

"Irene..."

Under the deadly oxygen mask, an unprecedented gentle smile suddenly appeared.

"Little...ying..."
