very surprised), and asked with a pun, "John, are you all right?"

"...I'm fine," John said with a dark face, "Lestrade, if you see Donovan, remember to tell her, I didn't make it clear just now, she may have misunderstood something... In short, the matter Not what she thought."

"What kind?" asked Lestrade.

"..." John didn't know how to answer.

"If you want to know, you can ask Donovan yourself." Sherlock gave John a clear look, and then helped him out, "We still have something to do, so let's go first."

"Okay," Lestrade obviously knew where Sherlock wanted to go, and he didn't stop him, but said, "Pay attention to safety, and call me directly if there is anything."

Sherlock waved his hands and left with Laraji and John in his arms.

……

on the taxi.

"Where are we going?" John finally recovered from the depression just now, looking at the night scene quickly receding from the car window, he asked, "What did you find at the crime scene just now?"

"Some interesting things," Sherlock said with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Hearing this, he took out his mobile phone, clicked on something, and delivered it to John.

It was a cartoon.

John could tell at a glance that the style of this comic was the style created by Tom and the others, and the content of the comic seemed to be continuous with what he had seen before!

There are not many comics on the mobile phone, and John only read less than ten comics before seeing the ending.

——This ending is different from what John saw online.

This is the cartoon where the company was in crisis. The ending given by Tom and the others on the website is that the protagonist found someone who was willing to give him funds, and finally succeeded in saving his company.But in Sherlock's mobile phone, what John saw was another ending—the man couldn't find anyone who was willing to help him from the beginning to the end, and then in desperation, he had no choice but to shoot himself to end his life.

"I found this on James' computer." Seeing that John had finished reading it, Sherlock said, "Interesting, isn't it?"

John looked at Sherlock in shock, "You mean... James died because of..."

"No," Sherlock interrupted John, "I don't think so, Tom and they don't look like they're lying, and they don't have to. If they don't come to me, no one will know that James is going to die now, And if they don't come and tell me about the comics, the police won't care if they find them on James' computer, because James did commit suicide."

"But these cartoons..."

"Obviously," Sherlock sneered, "someone wants to use these comics to kill people."

John couldn't help feeling a chill.

After a moment of silence in the car, John asked again:

"Where are we going now?"

"The third person," Sherlock said, "the one who suspects his wife of cheating, Peter Rupert."

……

Peter Rupert's home was not close to James' home, so it was already late when John and Sherlock arrived.

Because Lalazhi is a child, although she seldom exercises, she is also a little sleepy at this time.

John took Larage over so that Sherlock could have a good talk with Pete later.

……

The lights in Pete's house were still on, but John and Sherlock knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came to answer the door.

The two looked at each other, and both saw a trace of anxiety in each other's eyes.

Sherlock walked into the garden of Pete's house, looked in through the kitchen glass for two seconds, then ran back quickly, raised his foot and started kicking the door.

"What happened?!" John also knew at this moment that something must have happened, otherwise Sherlock would not have such a reaction.

Lalage was woken up by the sound of Sherlock kicking the door, but before she could figure out what was going on, Sherlock had successfully kicked the door open and rushed in.

John also quickly ran in with Lalaji in his arms.

The room in Pete's house was not big, and he turned into his living room after rushing in a few steps.When John entered, Sherlock had already wrestled with a tall man on the ground, and beside them was another woman——

She lay in a pool of blood with a very deep gash on her neck.

……

John hadn't figured out what was going on at all, but there was obviously no time for him to figure it out now.

He put Lalaji on the ground, then threw his mobile phone to Lalaji, and said quickly, "Lalaji! Call an ambulance!" Use everything for first aid.

The woman was still alive at this time, she turned her head and looked at John with difficulty, and then at Pete who had been pinned down by Sherlock on the ground, opened her mouth to say something, but only spit out some blood bubbles.

But even so, the woman still asked what she wanted to say with her lips——

why?

……

Eight minutes later, the ambulance arrived at Pete's house, carried Pete's wife into the ambulance, and left quickly.

Sherlock had let Pete go by now, and let him sit in the chair by himself.John glanced at Pete, asked Sherlock to take him upstairs, then put Laraji on the sofa, took off his coat and covered her, and let her, who was too sleepy to keep her eyes open, stay here first Just about.

……

By the time John came upstairs, Sherlock and Pete didn't seem to have started anything yet.

Sherlock sat on the double sofa in the study, let Pete sit on the single sofa next to him, and just looked at him silently.

Pete seemed remorseful, putting his head in his hands.John couldn't see his expression clearly, but he knew that Pete was not in a good mood at the moment.

"I don't know..." Pete's voice was trembling and choked, "I don't know why this happened...I...I feel like I'm being controlled...I... I really love my wife so much, why...why would I do such a thing?!"

John walked up to Sherlock and sat down, asking Sherlock's progress with his eyes.

"What happened tonight?" Sherlock ignored John's hint, but asked very directly, "If nothing happened to stimulate you, you wouldn't be able to do such a thing."

"I don't know...I really don't know..." Pete cried, "I...I love her so much...I really love her...she won't forgive me...I almost... ...nearly killed her! She won't forgive me...God...what the hell have I done?!"

Sherlock got a little impatient listening to Pete's words, so he stood up directly, took Pete's laptop, turned it on - cracked the password - and logged in to the mailbox.

At the top of the mailbox is a letter with more than a dozen attachments that has already been read. It was sent at seven o'clock in the afternoon.

Sherlock opened the letter, downloaded the attachments, and opened them one by one.

……

Looking at the familiar cartoons on the screen, John always felt that things were getting clearer...but also more and more complicated.

"Who sent this comic to you?" Sherlock sat in front of the computer and exposed the screen for Pete to read. "When did you see this email?"

Pete's spirit seemed to have broken down. After Sherlock asked him for a long time, he raised his head tremblingly and barely glanced at the comics on the screen.

"That...it was sent to me by the person in charge of a website," Pete said with tears, "I...I browsed on that website...for a long time, this is a comic they created recently , but their content...is my life, do you understand?" Pete looked up at Sherlock hopefully, as if wanting to get his approval, "What happens to me every day will be updated by the website the day before ...I went to them, but they told me that this manga has a script, and their script has already been written... Can you understand me? My life has been programmed in advance And I follow that setting every day! I...I...I just...feel like I'm not me anymore... My destiny is already doomed, so why should I go to work and do things? God has already decided everything about me..."

"Where's your wife?" John asked. "You wanted to kill your wife because of this cartoon?"

The ending of that comic is that the hero kills his wife who is not cheating, and the scene is exactly the same as what John and Sherlock saw when they just broke in the door-including the lying position and the location of the wound.

"I...I don't know..." Pete cried again, "God, why would I do such a thing? How could I hurt... Hurt Liliz... What? She won't forgive me ...She won't...but why on earth would she do that kind of thing?! I love her so much! Why did she betray me! Why did she-"

"She didn't betray you!" Sherlock suddenly interrupted Pete loudly, he stood up abruptly, walked up to Pete, looked down at Pete, and said quickly, "Her wedding ring is always on my finger In fact, she never took off the ring even when she was washing the vegetables. If she cheated, she would choose to take off the ring in order to get
