Did the male lead change his ways today?

The Joestars' house in the country burned down.

The story hit the front pages of the newspapers, and the Scotland Yard police were called.The servants were still counting the losses, so Sir Joestar suspended his work and decided to talk to the famous detective first, hoping to recover the children's mother's relics.

And Dior and Jojo are temporarily placed in a house in London. They will not return to the country until the renovation of the ancestral home is completed.

Dio was just pissed about it, very pissed off.

He is very suspicious of arson, because the timeline is very coincidental, just a few days after he wrote the vicious reply to Diego Brando, there was a fire and burglary at Joestar's house.

When he told the police about his suspicions, they told him that Diego was participating in a horse race in Kingston on the day of the incident. He had an absolute alibi, and it was impossible to go to the countryside of London in time to set fire.

"Yeah Dio, you think so badly of Diego, why would he do that."

Jojo looked at him equally puzzled, and defended Diego.

"Because he hates you. Otherwise, who would take away the ghost masks and women's clothes that seem worthless during the robbery? Obviously the other party knows that this is something we value. This is a targeted attack." retaliation."

Dio looked at Jojo coldly, he couldn't stand Jojo's stupidity.What's more, he knows Diego, he can definitely do this kind of thing.

"Huh? Why does Diego hate me?"

Qiao Qiao looked even more confused, "Didn't you say that the problem has been resolved peacefully? Could it be that Dior wrote very exaggerated words in your letter?"

"..."

Oh shit, JoJo noticed the problem.

That's right, he viciously insulted the other party who didn't know what to do, was as obscene as a frog pissing, and dared to belittle the noble lady who thought he couldn't reach him.However, he predicted that Diego might have guessed that the letter was actually written by him, so he took his mother's relics with him.

Dior thought for a while, if it was for revenge, he might receive a box from an unknown person a week later, and after opening it, he would find the shredded dress inside.Then the other person will hide in a place he can't see and admire his expression when he sees the "gift"... If it was him, he would do it.

So he basically didn't expect to get the dress back.He didn't care anymore though, it would be a big mistake to try to provoke him in this way, but if Diego did, he would make him pay.

"No, Qiao Qiao, I just refused to give the other party any room for fantasy, so I refused more thoroughly. I didn't expect that this might anger the other party."

Dio sighed in embarrassment, he held Jojo's hand, "Would you blame me, Jojo?"

Then, as he expected, Qiao Qiao shook his head vigorously, and quickly turned to comfort him and said, "No! Dio, you did the right thing. Since you want to refuse, you really shouldn't leave room for others. I thank you very much I have taken on the difficult things for me, but there is no evidence that Diego should not be imagined as a criminal, so it is unfair to doubt and accuse others."

Here we go again, every time JoJo uses the moral shackles to stop his assumptions.

Even if Diego himself can't set the fire, he can let others do these things, and if it were him, he wouldn't leave evidence by himself.

But Dio knew that it was pointless to argue with Jojo, she would not believe it.It's just that he was very unconvinced, why would Qiao Qiao trust those strangers she didn't even know?

He decided to find the evidence himself, and then told Jojo, "Hey you fool, I told you that this is the case, you are so wrong, who told you not to believe me".

Yes, he had to do it, even if it would waste his time, but it would make him feel good, and Dio was convinced that his instincts were right.

"I'll find out the truth."

Dio looked at her sullenly and said, "Should we make a bet? If it proves that what I said is right, you will do something for me."

"Okay, then if Dior is wrong, can you promise me a request."

Jojo agreed without hesitation, and smiled at him, his sapphire blue eyes shining with anticipation.

"what?"

Dio was instinctively vigilant again. Whenever Jojo asked such a question, he felt that he could not easily agree to any request of Jojo.

"I need some common sense about how the human body works."

She blushed again, and said nervously, "I'm going to college soon. If everyone knows those things but I don't, I'll look stupid. I don't want to be laughed at by everyone, but I don't either. I can’t ask other people, so if I win, Dio, can you answer some of my doubts? Not just about having children.”

"..."

Dio stared at her in astonishment, he opened his mouth, and it was difficult to make a sound in his throat.

"...you mean you want me to teach you a lesson?"

"Yes, is it okay?" Perhaps Qiao Qiao also knew it was difficult to speak, she seemed very quiet, a little embarrassed.

Why hasn't Jojo understood these things?Has she never felt any changes in her body?God, she's almost there!Girls from other noble families had already given birth to children at this time!What a bastard old George was to bring her up like this!

But Jojo would choose to ask him because he is her family?He is always generous enough to explain so much to her, and won't it affect her reputation?

But he can't explain any more to JoJo, it's dangerous, her curiosity may turn things into an out-of-control direction.However, considering that he believed that he would be able to find Diego's criminal evidence, he could accept Jojo's bet.

"Okay." So Dio agreed, his pulse beating fast, but he would win, and then JoJo would owe him two things.

"Then we will entrust Mr. Sherlock Holmes to investigate."

Joannes nodded and told him, "Father said that Mr. Holmes has taken some interest in this case and is likely to accept the commission. We will visit him again for final confirmation later."

"Oh, the detective."

Hearing Holmes' name, Dio frowned. Of course he knew who it was. It was said that this famous detective would be called in for any cases that Scotland Yard could not solve.But Dio instinctively doesn't like detectives, those guys will dig out the most unbearable secrets and shadows behind him, and they are very dangerous existences.

"Yes, after breakfast, let's go to Baker Street."

Joannes winked at Dio, but Dio didn't object, so she happily lifted her skirt and informed the butler, Mr. Robert, to prepare the carriage.

When they arrived at Baker Street, Dior and Joannes got out of the carriage together.Holmes' office is at No. 221B. When they were about to knock on the door and enter, a woman suddenly came out of it and almost bumped into Joannes.

"Ah, sorry."

Joannes apologized subconsciously. When she and the woman looked into each other's eyes, the woman couldn't help but stare at Jojo twice, then curled up her lips and smiled.

"Be careful, pretty girl."

It was a very sexy and mature woman. Before Joannes could react, Dio suddenly stared at her very vigilantly, and directly pulled Jojo aside.

"Don't pay attention to that woman."

Dio warned coldly until the woman left in front of them.

"What's the matter, Dio, do you know the guy just now?"

Joannes looked at him suspiciously, puzzled by his sudden faux pas.

"That's a famous cousin. I heard that she has a lot of handles on the nobles. She is a difficult woman to deal with."

Dio snorted, and his words were full of disdain for the other party.

"Don't worry about her, let's go in."

Joannes didn't understand what Dior was saying, but luckily she didn't ask too much. She saw the woman get into the carriage and then entered the office with Dior.

After meeting the detective, Joannes couldn't help being a little surprised at how young he was.And Dior explained his intentions to him very directly.

"We lost property in the fire, including my sister and my sister's mother's relics. I have reason to believe that this is not a simple case of theft and arson. This may be a targeted act of revenge."

The detective was flicking his pipe, probably not smoking because of the young lady's presence.But he looked at Dio meaningfully, and after a while, he spoke out.

"Well, it is true that this possibility cannot be ruled out. Sir Joestar has already come to me personally, and his request is also very special. He said that it is not important to find the prisoner and other belongings. He only hopes that I can find the mother of the children. He is the most special nobleman I have ever seen, and you have a good father."

"What, did Dad say that? That's really..."

Qiao Qiao showed a surprised expression, and she was immediately moved, her eyes turned red.And Dior couldn't help but spit in his heart, old George really loved to do superfluous things, and he was simply unbearably tolerant.

Dio doesn't care whether the relic can be retrieved, he just wants to find the prisoner and make the guy who dared to violate Dio's interests pay the price!

"In short, I will respect Sir Joestar's choice, and make the recovery of the relics of your two mothers the first goal. Of course, if the prisoner is found, I will let you decide whether to hand him over to Scotland Yard."

Jojo was a little puzzled, "Why is it up to us to decide?"

"Because it is not yet certain whether the prisoner is your acquaintance. Perhaps Sir Joestar will have other arrangements at that time."

Holmes smiled, looked at Jojo and explained.

"...It sounds like you already have a clue?"

Dio narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Holmes suspiciously.

"Until there is conclusive evidence, I will not easily express my suspicions, but this is a very interesting case, and that person may be very close to you."

Did he mean Diego?Dio was moved in his heart, but Holmes' hint made him think of another possibility.

There is another suspect in this case.It was all his fault, because that bastard was so unworthy of his attention that he completely ignored his existence.

Thinking carefully that Diego has become famous and is about to receive a huge inheritance from a rich woman, he himself does not need to risk going to prison for revenge. It may be a mistake to list Diego as the primary suspect.

But at this time, Dio suddenly had a strange feeling in his heart that he couldn't understand.

Generally speaking, he would be annoyed by his mistakes, but he felt... relieved?

What's going on... Is he expecting to lose his bet?
