"I feel more and more that there is another connection between time and Moriarty between these cases. What is it..." After listening to John Watson's narration, Sherlock showed a thoughtful expression, I didn't speak for a long time.

"Maybe we can..." Go to that grove and have a look.Melinda originally wanted to follow her old "classmate" to the murder scene to take a look, maybe the ghosts of the victims were still lingering there.However, before Melinda finished speaking, she received a "boo" gesture from John Watson.

"Don't bother that guy when he's thinking, otherwise..." John pointed in Sherlock's direction.

"Oh! You guys are too noisy, I really can't calm down!" The second John reminded, Sherlock eagerly waved his hands, hoping that everyone except him would disappear from the antique shop, completely No consideration was given to the feelings of the lady owner of this antique shop.

"Otherwise it will be like this." John said helplessly, spreading his hands.

Although she felt that Sherlock had a tendency to become weirder as she grew older, Melinda considered that the other party might actually be able to find the key to these cases, so she decided to follow John's gesture and go to the antique shop with him to have a blast.Lulumi town at this moment may be the happiest time of the day. Although night falls, it also means that most of the townspeople are freed from work and busyness.Many people appear on the streets at night, some are looking for a quiet coffee shop, some hope to meet friends in a delicious restaurant, and some just want to go out for a stroll in the cool night, in short Everyone had relaxed expressions on their faces, as if they were completely unaffected by the horrific murder that happened in this small town.

While chatting with John without saying a word, Melinda took the time to care about her husband who was on duty in the emergency team. After chatting sweetly for a while, she reluctantly hung up the phone.

"Melinda? Mr. Watson? Don't you stay inside the store so late, and cultivate your relationship outside?" Sally and Gabriel, who had already wandered around the small town of Lulumi, just returned to the antique shop. , Seeing that the two people at the door were chatting very well, Gabriel casually made a joke.

"Mr. Watson really understands a lot." Melinda seemed to really like chatting with John, and explained to Sally and the others with a smile, "Mr. Watson is telling me about those summer In the cases that Locke has participated in before, I really can't imagine that the strange little devil in the past has actually become an excellent detective."

"Believe me, in my eyes, your growth is as good as Sherlock's." Maybe it's because of the relationship between the teacher and the students, Sally said this to Melinda with a smile.What Sariel said was indeed true. When Sherlock and Melinda were very young, he knew that Sherlock and his brother Mycroft would become very special characters. On the contrary, Melinda The growth surprised Sally Yeh even more.

"Not only excellent, Sherlock can be said to be the best!" In front of outsiders, John has never been stingy about praising his partner, "I never think that there are cases in this world that he can't solve, but maybe God It's because he's so perfect in these aspects, so he's a double idiot in life and emotion. You should really see what he has done to our rental house. Every time I finish tidying up, it becomes again in a blink of an eye It's trash."

"You have a really good relationship with him." Melinda looked at the vividly changing expressions on John's face, and summed up the relationship between the two in a declarative tone.

"If you're talking about the relationship between roommates, it's really complicated." John shrugged, and then said, "Sometimes I really wish I had never met Sherlock Holmes in my life. I am very glad that I met Sherlock Holmes." When he said this, John's eyes kept looking through the transparent store door, looking around in the antique shop, and from time to time he picked up an antique Sherlock who looked at it over and over again.No matter how complicated his emotions are, John has to admit that if one day Sherlock suddenly disappears into his world, even if he was once a steel-blooded soldier, he can't help but want to cry...

"Oh! That's it! That's it!" Sherlock, who was holding an oriental porcelain, rushed out of the antique shop, "Blade blades, groves, drowning, fire... Metal, trees, water and fire, don't you also think about it? What did you think of? It’s the style that the ancient eastern country is very particular about!”

"What?" The four people who had no research on oriental culture could only look at Sherlock with blank eyes at this time.

"God! Don't you usually read more books?" Sherlock had an expression of "I have nothing to say to you", and almost stared at his good partner, old classmates and teachers, but in the end Sherlock gave in Amidst John's repeated praises, he reluctantly told everyone about the so-called "gold, wood, water, fire, earth" in the materials of the ancient eastern country and everyone at a fast speed.Because Sariel and Gabriel came late, Sherlock also kindly recounted the case of the imitator.This kind of kindness is really a very rare thing for Sherlock, and if Sariel and Gabriel didn't have that kind of hearing ability, they probably wouldn't be able to hear what Sherlock was saying.

"That is to say, people in the ancient eastern countries believed that the universe was formed by the derivatives and changes of five elements: metal, plant, water, fire, and land, and these five elements interacted and restrained each other, which not only affected the fate of human beings, but also contributed to the development of the universe. Loop?" John found himself often the one to wrap up after Sherlock had finished speaking.This kind of retelling work is like John retelling them in his blog after each case is over.

"It's the ancients of that country, and now fewer and fewer people believe in this kind of statement. As for the impact on mankind and the universe later on, I don't know where to start." Sherlock nodded as a compliment to John. Retelling ability, "However, not only in the ancient oriental country, in fact, many people in our country also believe in this so-called 'five elements'."

"So, little Sherlock, the new clue you think of is that the manipulator behind the scenes is also one of those who believe in the 'five elements'? Moreover, because cases related to metals, plants, water and fire have already occurred, so the next Is the case related to soil? But..." Sariel and Gabriel looked at each other, and then asked suspiciously, "Although the imitator committed the case in the grove, he used a live-buried method, it should also be regarded as a land-related case, right?"

"I have naturally considered this. If the nature of this case is also within the scope of Moriarty's consideration, and if tomorrow's case is the last one, what we have to do will be much more difficult than it is now." Sherlock It seems that the manipulator behind these cases is Moriarty who sent him the invitation letter, but such speculation is indeed reasonable at this time.

"If only we could know where that Moriarty is now." Melinda said regretfully, "Then I can find a way to ask those 'people' who are invisible to others, and then investigate him." What kind of conspiracy are you doing?"

"If someone can find his whereabouts so easily, then he is not Moriarty." Sherlock said without turning his head, showing some aspects of absolute trust in this sworn enemy.

John, on the other hand, seemed to be thinking of something, and said to Melinda: "Although Moriarty's whereabouts are elusive, his subordinates should not have such abilities, right? Melinda, you should be very concerned about the town." I'm familiar with it, after all, its area is not very large, have you noticed where strangers appear these days?"

"Although Lulumi is only a small town, the scenery and air here are very good, so strangers often come to this town." Melinda looked helpless, "It's like here It’s an antique shop, everyone other than me should be strangers to the townspeople, right?”

Just as John was thinking about the idea he had finally come up with, he heard Melinda say again——

"It also seems that the two men who are looking at the door of the antique shop now, although they are strangers, they are probably tourists or something."

Melinda's casual words made Sally and the four of them turn their heads in the direction of the door together.At the door, two tall men in crisp suits stood there, with the same brown hair and beautiful green eyes, and their three or four similar looks made it easy to guess that they were biological brothers.

"Eh..." Seeing that everyone in the antique shop was looking at me, the one with the longer and stronger hair and the strange sideburns of the two brothers coughed awkwardly, then took something out of his arms, Said, "FBI, I am Agent Amway Mason, and this is Agent George Linton. We are investigating a confidential case, so I would like to ask you a few questions. I hope you can cooperate?"

"Oh? Are you sure that you and the person next to you are not biological brothers?" Seeing the familiar faces of the two, Sariel continued to ask with a smile, "And, are you sure that your surname is not Winchester?"

"Uh..." Standing beside "Amway", the relatively handsome detective "George" asked with an embarrassed expression, "At this time, if we say that you misidentified the person, is it still useful? Please allow Let me ask, what is the relationship between this gentleman and the Winchester brothers?"

"There's nothing special about it." Sariel spread her hands, "It just happened to be Sam Winchester's class teacher 20 years ago, when he was still in elementary school."
