Mrs. Aurora waved her hand, and more than a dozen members of the Romano family boarded the car one after another.

When they arrived at the location, they were greeted by Brother Bill's thugs who had already drawn their weapons.A gang fight started without warning.

Rosalind could not wait.

She pushed open the door and got out of the car, flashing into the alley.

The buildings in such a small town are roughly the same. After a little thought, Rosalin quickly found the police station and the municipal office building opposite in the center of the town.

It was night, and all the houses were lit, only the house next to the police station was still dark.

Without even thinking about it, Rosalin smashed the window, pulled the latch and jumped in.

Right now, all the policemen are going straight to the spot where the gangs are fighting, so naturally no one will notice that the windows of the mansion next to the police station have been smashed.

The room was pitch black, and it took Rosalin a long time to get used to the light environment.

Based on her experience, Rosalin went straight to the garage, lifted the carpet, and found the entrance to the basement with precision.

As soon as the basement door was opened, there was air flow, but it was darker below.

Rosalin paused for a moment: "Mr. Oedipus?"

Her silvery voice came into the basement, except for the empty echo, there was no response.

"I'm not the enemy, I'm here to pick you up." Rosalin warned in advance: "I'm the only one, in a completely unfamiliar environment, even if I attack you, I can't beat you."

No one answered.

"If you don't mind, I'll come down directly."

Only the whistling of the wind cheered Rosalind.She thought about it, no longer entangled, and climbed directly down the ladder into the basement.

As soon as she landed, she turned around, and a dazzling light suddenly appeared.

Rosalin immediately closed her eyes, and at the same time as her sight disappeared, a black shadow rushed towards her face.

After feeling the sound of the wind, Rosalin instinctively dodged, and she stepped back half a step, while grabbing the wrist that was stretched out by the other party.

Without thinking about it, the young girl raised her other hand, and it went up along the other's wrist——

Halfway through her standard grappling technique, the opponent's palm flipped and held Rosalin's hand.

Rosalind: "..."

Then she was dragged by the other party's right hand and fell to the ground neatly.

Heavy force pressed down, while pinning Rosalin's right hand, he also pressed her waist with his knee.

"gentlemen!"

As soon as she spoke, the bright flashlight shone directly on Rosalin's face.

Immediately after—

All suppressive actions came to an abrupt end.

The glare suddenly disappeared.

Rosalin slowly opened her eyes, her green pupils blinked in the dark room, when she turned her head, even the weight that was holding her left.

"Rosalind?"

A voice belonging to a middle-aged man sounded in the darkness.

The man had a British accent, and his voice was surprisingly gentle. His tone was full of disbelief, as if it wasn't Rosalin Poirot who came, but the Queen of England came to pick him up and return home.

"Roscelyn Poirot." He repeated her name again: "Why are you?"

"..."

She didn't recognize this voice.

However, since coming to New York, Rosalin has gotten used to being called out by her own name directly for the elders she doesn't know.

She rubbed her wrists and got up from the ground.

"You know me?" Rosalind asked, "Are you Oedipus?"

"I……"

The man in the dark hesitated for a moment: "I am, but we can wait until later. I heard gunshots, who is outside?"

"It is the influence of the Italian government brought in by Mr. Romano's son Fabio Jr."

Rosalin quickly explained: "They came here for Da Vinci's manuscript. It is said that the secret manuscript records a large weapon capable of changing the world."

Oedipus suddenly said "hmm".

"You are also looking for this manuscript."

"Yes."

"I understand."

After finishing speaking, the strong light came on again.

But this time the light hit the ceiling, and after a brief glare, Rosalin got used to the sudden light.

Oedipus uses a DC flashlight.

The light that illuminates Rosalind's vision also illuminates Oedipus's face.

Then Rosalin gave a sudden pause.

The man in front of him is about 45 years old, thin and not short.Maybe it was because he hadn't seen the light all the time, his face looked extremely pale, but it was this pale face that was so similar to James Moriarty.

Roseline felt that if Professor Moriarty was 30 years younger, he would definitely look like this.

"You." Roseline paused for a moment, and then suddenly realized.

No wonder it's called Oedipus.

Oedipus in Greek mythology killed his father and married his mother, and I don’t know if Oedipus in front of him did this, but he really betrayed Professor Moriarty back then.

"You are the professor's son." Rosalin said in surprise, "His son stole the manuscript."

In the dim light, "Oedipus" smiled gently.

Even this bookish smile is exactly the same as that of Professor James Moriarty.

"William Moriarty."

He introduced himself to Rosalind: "This is my real name."

Roseline: "It was you who compiled the code of the manuscript. You know my mother? No wonder. What is the secret weapon drawn in Da Vinci's manuscript? You should know, that is—"

"All right, Rosalind."

Oedipus—that is, William Moriarty—interrupted Rosalind's eloquence with a kindly tone.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he looked at the energetic girl in front of him almost lovingly: "This is not the place to talk, you want the manuscript in my hand, don't you?"

Rosalin nodded: "Come with me first, I'll take you to transfer."

"Do not."

William shook his head, still smiling and said, "I'll take you to transfer."

After speaking, he took the flashlight and walked directly to the exit of the basement.

The two walked out of the deep mansion one after the other, almost at the moment they left from the garage exit, there was a violent door breaking behind them.

"This way."

William turned a deaf ear.He gently beckoned Rosaline into the alley, and the two walked around the residential area and the police station in silence, and stopped behind the community park.William skillfully took out the car keys from his pocket and opened the Ford parked on the side of the road.

"boarding."

He said succinctly: "Let's talk on the way if you have anything to say."

Rosalind: "Where are you going?"

"New York."

"New York?" Rosalin turned her head to the side: "You will be exposed. In the past 20 years, your father, and your father's subordinates, have been looking for your trace."

"I know."

William Moriarty nodded slightly, but still opened the car door: "But I didn't bring the manuscript with me. Otherwise, if my father catches me, he will get the manuscript. That would be too risky. The best solution is to separate me from the manuscript. .”

"Let's go back to New York, and I'll take you to get the second manuscript, my dear Rosalind.
