Sherlock chased the running figure all the way to a secluded place.It's full of trees and some weird looking things, square puddles, wire barriers, etc. It's... a training ground.

Sherlock watched the figure run into the woods and then disappear, his expression became more serious.Suddenly, Sherlock remembered Olivia who was still with him just now, and was startled, his face showed anger, he glanced at the woods in front of him, turned his head and ran back immediately.

But before Sherlock took a few steps, he stopped immediately and raised his hands.At this time, a few steps ahead of Sherlock, the ground was hit by a bullet, raising a cloud of smoke.Several red dots swept across the ground, and the last few red dots landed on Sherlock.

Sherlock's face is as calm as water now, as if the one being targeted by the sniper is not himself.If you ignore the anxiety that flickered in his eyes.

"What do you want? I can let you go. If something happens to us here, you won't be able to escape." Sherlock said loudly in the empty space.

But the other party ignored Sherlock's words, and those little red dots still did not move away.Sherlock looked a little irritably at the direction where he ran just now. If it was normal, Olivia should have already run here.But now... Sherlock suddenly couldn't imagine what Olivia would encounter there.And Watson, I don't know if he has noticed the abnormality here.

Sherlock thought through thousands of possibilities in his mind, his heart trembled, and a violent emotion rose from the bottom of his heart.But this is just a moment.A few minutes have passed since the shooting just now, and the people behind him seem to have no intention of talking or negotiating with him.

He looked at the red spot on his chest and the red spot on his leg, and he didn't move, not even trembling.Sherlock suddenly took a small step to the side, and carefully observed the red dot, "Oh, shit."

Sherlock saw that the position of the red dot did not move with him because of his own movement, and he immediately understood that the person had already run away, and now it is estimated that a gun was placed there.Feeling being tricked, Sherlock couldn't help cursing in a low voice, but he didn't have time to care about other things now, but ran back directly to the way he came just now.

Sherlock didn't run far, and saw Watson rushing over here, "Sherlock, something happened!"

Watson's words made Sherlock's heart rise instantly, and he clenched his hands tightly, waiting for Watson's next sentence.

"When I was chatting with the dean just now, the dean was suddenly killed by a sniper who was lurking somewhere. It's a mess outside now, and I've already called Inspector Lestrade. By the way Where's Olivia? Isn't she with you? Why don't you see her?" Watson briefly talked about what happened after Sherlock and the others left, and suddenly found Sherlock alone, so he asked.

Sherlock ignored Watson's question, but continued to run in the previous direction, and disappeared in place after a while.

Watson looked at the direction where Sherlock disappeared, and then realized that something might have happened to Olivia, and immediately chased after Sherlock.

Sherlock came to the place where he and Olivia were separated just now, looked around, but there was no one there, and stood there for a while, not knowing what to do.When Watson ran over, he saw Sherlock standing there, looking at the ground motionless, wondering what he was thinking.

"Sherlock?" Watson didn't know what Sherlock was doing, didn't they come to find Olivia?Watson called Sherlock suspiciously.

Hearing Watson's voice, Sherlock turned around and said muffledly, "She's gone..."

"What?" Sherlock's voice was very low, and Watson didn't hear what he said.

Sherlock suppressed all kinds of irritability and anxiety in his heart, walked to the place where Olivia was standing when he left just now, looked at the mark on the ground, walked forward along the mark, and came to the front of the flower garden.

"The footprints disappeared here, why did she come over?" Sherlock said in a deep voice.

Watson looked at Sherlock's expression. Sherlock's mood is very abnormal now. He never told himself any clues when he investigated the case before. Now, it seems more like he is telling himself.

Sherlock pushed aside the plants on the flowerbed, and naturally saw the removed wooden board and the dark hole, "Did you go down because you found this? Damn it, stupid goldfish."

Watson was taken aback when he saw the hole in front of him. After all, although this orphanage looked relatively small, it looked quite normal, so just now he thought that there should be something wrong with one of the employees here.But with such a large basement, it should be impossible for other people not to discover it.

When Sherlock saw the entrance of the cave, he hurried down the stairs. Watson followed closely behind Sherlock, and took out the self-defense gun he carried with him, holding it tightly, in case anything would happen Condition.

The two walked down the stairs for a while, and then saw a road ahead, so they walked along this road.Sherlock looked carefully at the traces left on the ground, frowned, and walked forward anxiously.

The two walked for a while, and finally came to the end. Looking at the furnishings here, there should be people who lived here.There were two ropes discarded randomly on the ground, and the most worrying thing was that there was a knife next to it, which was obviously stained with blood.

Seeing the knife on the ground and the blood on it, Sherlock's pupils constricted, his face turned pale, and his brain was completely occupied by the blood on the knife.

Watson also saw the knife and blood on the ground, and his heart was raised. Could it be that Olivia was attacked?Whose blood is on this knife?

"Sherlock?" Watson, who was a little at a loss, walked over to Sherlock who had a strange expression on his face, and called him softly.

"Ah."

"Sherlock, this knife and blood..." Watson only finished half of what he said, but they all knew what it meant.

"John, be quiet, you are affecting my thinking." Sherlock said suddenly.

Watson was disgusted by Sherlock for the first time, but seeing Sherlock's current appearance and Olivia's current whereabouts are unknown, he did not refute anymore, but stood behind Sherlock.But seeing Sherlock looking a little out of shape, he couldn't help but say, "Sherlock, Olivia needs you now."

"I'll find her." Sherlock closed his eyes to calm himself down.

"The footprints are complete from the hole to here, she found the hole by herself. But at this time she hesitated, so there were a few footprints scattered around the hole, and she came to the intersection and wanted to wait for us to come. But no Wait, so she walked here along the ladder. There were two people sitting on the place of the two ropes. The volume and traces were two children, children aged six or seven. She walked in front of the children, Squat down, so the footprints will deepen here. Seeing the two tied children, she wanted to reach out to untie their ropes. But the person sitting on the ground suddenly got angry and attacked her with a knife. No , she should be able to dodge the knife, there should be no blood on the knife. Why? Whose blood is this? And when she blocked the knife, another child attacked her with something else, so she was caught Let's go. The blood on this knife is not hers, but it is not the two children's either. Why put a bloody knife here? Is it just to scare us?" Sherlock looked at the mark on the ground, While talking to himself, reasoning.

Watson next to him saw for the first time that Sherlock expressed his thoughts and asked his own questions during reasoning.If this is the case when Sherlock investigates cases in the future, they probably don't have to rack their brains to ask Sherlock what they have found.

However, Sherlock's words also relieved Watson's originally worried mood. After all, if the blood on the island was not Olivia, it meant that she was not injured.As for being taken away by them, although I don't know what their purpose is for taking Olivia away, it's better than being taken away by them on the spot.If they have a purpose, they should not harm the hostages, and with Sherlock around, as long as they are still there, they will definitely be able to rescue Olivia safely.

"Then why did they take Olivia away? What value does she have to make them take people away at the expense of exposure? They even arranged for someone to come over and hold me back. Is it from the Holy Fire Cult? Or other forces?" Sherlock was still talking to himself.

Watson looked at the way down the road, and sighed. Olivia's being tied up made Sherlock almost confused. I wonder when Sherlock will find out about his abnormality?

Watson walked to a small desk next to him and saw a note on it. Watson's face changed when he saw the words on it.

"Sherlock, look at this." Watson took the note and handed it to Sherlock.

Sherlock stood up immediately, took a look at the note, it read: hello, sherlock. Thegameison.

——M.

"Sherlock, is this Moriarty? He took Olivia away? Do you think he has discovered something? Will Olivia be in danger? And what game is he talking about?" ?” When Watson saw that the signature on this note was M, he immediately thought of Moriarty.And the last time Olivia told them about Moriarty's identity, was it because Moriarty already knew that his identity was exposed, so he played a game?

"Shut up, John. Olivia is fine, she's safe, at least for now. Now we can only wait for Moriarty to contact us. Let's go back first." Sherlock saw the big M Various possibilities flashed through his mind while writing, but in the end he could do nothing but wait for the other party to contact him.
