When seeing Jasmine again, the latter's face was not very happy.She took off the unsuccessful man's attire, her long hair was coiled behind her head, she was wearing a rather old-fashioned dress, and sat opposite Moriarty.Moriarty rang the bell to ask the waiter to remove the leftovers from the table and serve another bottle of red wine, but Jasmine said coldly, "Thank you, I don't drink."

"You're going to need a glass." Moriarty pushed the glass toward her.

"Thanks to you, the news that Jasmine Amber is a woman will spread throughout Scotland Yard tomorrow." Jasmine looked furious, her fingers were shaking, "What did you tell Anderson? Why did it seem like I just left After a while, it seems like everyone knows about it!?"

Moriarty showed a surprised expression: "Don't they even know that you are a woman?"

Jasmine said coldly: "I think I've managed to hide it fairly well."

"As I expected, Scotland Yard is full of idiots." Moriarty laughed softly, "Why are you angry, Molly? Haven't you already proved that women are not good enough in certain fields?" Must be worse than men?"

"It's all fields! If we can get back the power that belongs to us!"

Moriarty spread his hands generously: "You are right."

Jasmine said sarcastically, "I can't see where your words come from your heart."

"Alright Jasmine, I understand your inner worries about my coming." Moriarty adjusted his sitting posture and expression, showing a dejected look, "However, I really want to help you. Believe it or not... I was deeply hurt by Sherlock Holmes."

Jasmine looked suspicious.Moriarty had a wry smile on his face: "You can't imagine what he has done to me... This sanctimonious hypocrite! Didn't you realize that my body hair is very sparse? Jasmine, look at my arms... " He rolled up one sleeve, showing off his white and smooth skin, "He used some... tricks on me, he said he started paying attention to me when I was very young, I was only about ten years old at that time... As you probably know, he has some quirks, like whipping corpses, but I dare say he prefers whipping warm human bodies. At one point he even shackled me and locked me in a small room... …Oh no……"

Moriarty bowed his head deeply.Jasmine was dumbfounded and couldn't help standing up: "My God!"

Her movement caught the attention of the side, and a waiter came over and looked at them: "...Ma'am? Do you need help?"

"No, no, it's nothing." Jasmine quickly refused, and after the waiter left, she couldn't help holding Moriarty's hand, and said with concern, "Are you okay, uh..."

"Moriarty, James Moriarty, you can call me Kim." Moriarty raised his face, showing his tear-filled eyes, and sobbed.

"Ah...uh...James." Jasmine was at a loss, "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were... an asshole! I never knew Holmes was a..."

"Gays, British vice," Moriarty whispered.Jasmine immediately became excited: "Yes! He will be a..."

"Jasmine, I don't want you to prejudice this group because of me." Moriarty said weakly, "Because I'm also a homosexual... Oh God, you don't think you hate me because of that, do you?"

"...No, I will never." Jasmine said firmly, and the last trace of bad feeling towards Moriarty disappeared, "I understand why you found me... Do you mind if I introduce you to others in this capacity? , James? As a gay?"

Poor, innocent, defrauded by sanctimonious detectives, and even less accepted by the world, Moriarty certainly wouldn't mind!

Jasmine's wariness towards Moriarty has basically been eliminated.Thanks to Moriarty's realistic acting, she even sympathizes with him enough, and what this sympathy brings is that she takes Moriarty directly to their meeting place, and briefly introduces him to this trick on the way. The mysterious group leading the bride's case - they're a bunch of feminists.This was quite rare in the Victorian era and was not accepted by mainstream society.They relegated household chores to women, while all other socially more influential positions were given to men.Women who are getting higher and higher levels of education and accepting more and more new ideas will not be content with the status quo. They have reasons to fight for power for themselves, and they are also capable of defending their own power.As a result, some women gathered together and began to seek more voices in society.

Jasmine Amber's Secret Society is one such feminist group.Their members are diverse, ranging from well-born ladies to maids from middle-class families.But there is no doubt that they all have the desire to change the status quo and are working hard for it.When talking about this, Jasmine had an unconcealable pride on her face.After all, they have just committed a murder in a way that is difficult for ordinary people to see through, and even deceived the eyes and ears of the famous consulting detective Sherlock Holmes, making him also puzzled by the mystery of the resurrection of the dead.

But while talking, Jasmine's enthusiasm for talking began to fade.After all, she and Sherlock have known each other much longer than a stranger like Moriarty. Both the degree of trust and the degree of understanding are very deep. The reason why she believed in Moriarty's performance so easily before, and Xia Luo What Locke said before leaving the morgue is not unrelated.However, after she calmed down, she felt that her behavior was a little impulsive and reckless.She didn't verify the truth of the matter, and she believed in Moriarty unilaterally. What if Moriarty was lying to her?

Moriarty sensitively noticed the hesitation in her speech.This is normal, and if Jasmine Amber was a mindless vase, she wouldn't be considered a trustworthy partner by Sherlock.He began to change the subject calmly, and finally led to Sherlock: "... When I was in the morgue, I saw him come in, God, at that moment I was really afraid that he would find me. Luckily, You got his attention so I could slip out of the shadows."

Under the ingenious compliment, Jasmine couldn't help laughing: "That's because he put all his attention on the case. Sherlock Holmes is such a weirdo who is only interested in strange cases."

"He's a genius." Moriarty said in a low voice, "If he finds enough clues, he can always come up with an answer."

Jasmine was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Yes, he will always see it."

"I will do my best to help you." Moriarty raised his head, his eyes sparkling. "Are you willing to believe me, Jasmine? We are all a minority group, and we are not accepted by the mainstream thinking of this society. Even ...I want to help you, because seeing your success is like seeing our tomorrow... Oh, Jasmine," he sobbed again, grabbing Jasmine's hand, "I know this is too presumptuous , but I hope to gain your trust."

Jasmine subconsciously wanted to withdraw her hand, but held back, hesitated and said, "But I can't guarantee... I can't guarantee that you can join us, or participate in anything, maybe we can only listen to your opinion..."

"I know, you are so kind, Jasmine." Moriarty looked at her with wet eyes and smiled, "I just hope that I can help you, and that's enough."

The defense raised in Jasmine's heart was easily dismantled like this.Facing Moriarty's seemingly unreserved trusting gaze, she actually felt ashamed, her gaze wandered away, and the subject changed unnaturally: "...do you think it's strange for a woman to become a forensic doctor, Jin? "

"I think it's strange to have a fool in a position that doesn't suit him, Molly," said Moriarty. "Men and women have their irreplaceable parts of the social division of labor because of their gender, but it's irrefutable that now Most of all the jobs in society are for human beings, not men or women..."

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind like lightning, leaving only a moment of light and shadow.Moriarty frowned, he seemed to have overlooked something...

Jasmine didn't notice the pause at the end of his words, and complained: "But some people think that women should not do this kind of thing. I don't know whether Holmes told him or Dr. Watson saw it himself. He actually said to me , 'In order to get into the world of men, it's really hard work'! The world of men? Is he mocking me!..."

Moriarty interrupted her suddenly: "Wait a minute, Molly, did John Watson tell you?"

Jasmine didn't understand, so she nodded.Moriarty's expression suddenly darkened.

Machismo, beards, wives, John Watson...feminists, minorities, getting in the man's world...feminine, hetero, getting in the man's world...! ?

Everything in Sherlock's dreams has prototypes.His mind is so precise that it is impossible for him to be wrong about such details.Watson is his trusted companion and cohabitant. These characteristics that are very different from reality obviously reflect a certain side of Sherlock's heart; the prototype of the dead and resurrected bride case is undoubtedly him, and Jasmine and Her secret group...

Moriarty suddenly felt furious in his chest.He twisted the corners of his lips, tightened his fingers tightly, and squeezed the bones rattling.Sherlock Holmes...he actually gave him the complete opposite image of Watson...a feminine, sissy GAY! ...how dare he belittle him...belittle his equal, Kim Moriarty!

Colorful blocks appeared in his sight, and Moriarty was dizzy for a while.He vaguely saw a place of cushions here and there, with light filtering in along the top of his head.He knelt on the ground and looked outside, there was a sound of hurried footsteps, and Sherlock Holmes broke in in embarrassment...

As if a scoop of ice water had been poured into his brain, Moriarty shuddered all over.He shifted his blurred vision, roared and punched sideways, smashing the glass of the car window.Jasmine couldn't help screaming: "God! Moriarty!"

...Yes, it was Moriarty.

Moriarty suddenly came back to his senses, and his blurred vision became clear.He withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, turned his head and smiled at Jasmine.

——There must be something hidden in Sherlock's thinking palace.
