The class time in Li is from 01:30 to 03:30 in the afternoon, so Sarah and Laraji should be in class at this time.

"Why did you choose this time?" John asked calmly as the two walked into the dance school.

"Only in this way can we truly see the truest side of a person," Sherlock said in a low voice and fast, "There is still half an hour to finish class, Laraji should be in a period of exhaustion and won't care too much The details, so a lot of things will be revealed, and she was raised by Sarah, so there should be many similarities between Lalazhi and Sarah. And Sarah would not have thought that we would come to her at this time, so It's going to be passive, which is good for us."

"Okay," John glanced at the hall of the dance school - there was no one here at this time, only two receptionists were sitting there, "Are you going to reveal your identity?"

"Observe for a while before we talk," Sherlock turned his head slightly, and then quickly showed a sunny and healthy smile to the receptionist, "Hi, I want to find Miss Sarah Johnson, her daughter Laraji is in class here .”

"Oh, please wait a moment," the receptionist smiled back at Sherlock, and then turned on the computer to check, "Please provide the full name of Laraji."

"Large Johnson."

"Please wait a moment..." The front desk lady checked again, "Sorry sir, we don't have a student named Laraji Johnson here."

Sherlock's eyes narrowed, and he asked, "Then can I look up Sarah Johnson's name? Maybe she was registered under her mother's name."

The lady at the front desk checked the computer again, "Sorry sir, we really don't have such a name here, did you remember the address wrong?"

John froze for a moment, turned his head and glanced, he could see obvious doubts in Sherlock's eyes - Sherlock's reasoning was wrong.

The two finally searched the dance school for a long time, but they could not find the names of Sarah and Laraji. They even waited until the school ended at 03:30, but they did not see Sarah and Laraji. Finally, they had to admit that they remembered wrong location, and left the school.

John reached out to hail a taxi, and Sherlock did it together.

"What's going on here?" John closed the car door, "Where did you go wrong?"

"I don't know, don't talk to me, I need to think." Sherlock was very impatient with John's tone, which showed that he was very irritable at the moment, and even John couldn't awaken Sherlock's patience.

John was a little helpless, and turned his head to look out the window.

……

The taxi took them to Sarah's house. Sherlock still didn't say a word until they got off the car, allowing John to open the door for him and leading him to Sarah's house.

Sarah's home is an independent small villa with two floors. There is a large and well-groomed lawn in the yard, and a hydrangea is planted under the window. It can be seen that Sarah is a very well-behaved person.

John rang the doorbell.

It was only 45:[-] at this time, so John originally thought that Sarah hadn't come back, and he just wanted to tell Sherlock that when he rang the doorbell, but what he didn't expect was that just when he was about to tell Sherlock that Sarah hadn't come back —the door was opened.

A woman opened the door.

She was beautiful, with brown curly hair reaching her waist, and eyes the color of sapphires.Her skin was pale, but she had a sickly beauty.

"Hello?" the woman asked, "Who are you?"

John was stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted. Just as he was about to speak, Sherlock stretched out his hand and smiled brightly at Sarah, "Sherlock Holmes, nice to meet you."

Sarah showed a dazed expression, and reached out to shake Sherlock's hand, "Hi, Mr. Holmes, I've heard about you, Tom and the others told me that they were going to find you, and that you came back to me, but I didn't expect you to come at this time," Sarah looked at her watch, "I thought you wouldn't be back until four o'clock, because Tom told me he said I wouldn't be home until four o'clock... Please come in and sit down," Sarah stepped aside He walked through the door, welcomed Sherlock and John in, and said with a smile, "You must be Mr. Watson, I like your Weibo very much, they are so interesting!"

"Really?" John raised his eyebrows and smiled at Sarah, "Thank you for the compliment, you are beautiful too."

Sara laughed and asked Sherlock and John to sit in the living room while she went to the kitchen to make tea.

"Is there something wrong?" John whispered to Sherlock. From their direction, they could see Sarah's back making tea. "See why she didn't go to that dance school?"

"I'm waiting for you to tell me about this." The smile on Sherlock's face that had just faced Sarah disappeared completely, and his eyes scanned the entire room like an eagle, trying to find any clues. "Dealing with women is your domain."

"Really?" John looked at Sarah's back, tilted his head and thought for a while, "Okay, you're right."

Sherlock frowned slightly, turned his head to look at John, but found that the other's gaze had been on Sarah.

……

"I've been waiting for a long time." Sara came over with a tray on which there was a pot of tea, three cups and a plate of cookies. "I made these cookies with my daughter. You can try them." .”

"Really?" John picked up a small cookie and put it in his mouth at Sarah's gesture, "Well, it's pretty good."

Sarah smiled at John and poured tea for Sherlock and John.

Sherlock raised a sunny smile to Sarah again, and said, "Miss Johnson..."

"Sarah," Sarah interrupted Sherlock, "call me Sarah."

John was taken aback for a moment, always feeling that this sentence seemed familiar, but before he remembered it, Sherlock had already changed his words, "Sarah."

Sarah showed a satisfied smile, and signaled Sherlock to continue with her eyes.

"Where's your daughter?" Sherlock asked, "John wanted to see Larage dance, so we went to a dance school close to your house, but they told us you didn't do it for you. My daughter signed up there."

……

John took the blame for Sherlock without changing his face - this is obviously not the first time.

……

"Oh, yes," Sara smiled, "the service attitude there is very bad, so I took Lalaji to another school that is farther away, and she is painting in the room now, do you want to meet her ?”

"Of course," Sherlock stood up, "Can I go to her room? I'd like to see what she has drawn. You know, children's drawings are the most imaginative things in the world."

"Imagination?" Sarah burst into a burst of laughter, and Sherlock couldn't help frowning before he stopped and said, "Sherlock Holmes would praise imagination? Don't you know nothing about literature and art? How could that be?" Praise for imagination? You want to observe Lalazhi, right? It’s okay, you can tell me directly that Lalazhi has been a bit quiet lately, and I actually want to know why.”

Saying that, Sarah also stood up. She was a head shorter than Sherlock, so she looked up at Sherlock slightly and said, "Let's go, I'll take you upstairs."

After speaking, without waiting for Sherlock and John to react, he walked out of the living room first, and waved back to Sherlock.

John turned his head and glanced at Sherlock, seeing that all the hypocritical smiles on his face had disappeared, leaving only frowns, and a complex emotion surged in his heart, it really wasn't worth it if the case went nowhere happy, but—

It is indeed a little exciting to see Sherlock deflated.

……

The two followed Sarah upstairs, and Laraji's room was at the back of the second floor.

Sarah knocked and opened the door.

The room was a bit messy, a little girl was sitting with her back to the door, her long blond hair was combed high and obliquely into a ponytail, she was lying on the table and drawing something on the paper with crayons.

"Large?" Sara called. "We've got guests."

Laraji looked back when he heard the words.She was beautiful, with blue eyes like Sarah's and a round face with some baby fat.

"Lalage, come here." Sara beckoned to Lalaji.

The girl jumped out of the chair. She was wearing a light gray top with a very cute hellokitty printed on it, black pants, and a pair of brown snow boots even at home.

Sara was right, Larage was indeed quiet.But the strange thing is that from the second Lalaji turned her head, her gaze has been on Sherlock.

Lalage walked straight towards Sherlock without even looking at John and his mother.When he walked in front of Sherlock, Laraji stopped and looked up at Sherlock expressionlessly.And Sherlock also looked down into Lalage's eyes, and the two of them didn't say anything.

John turned his eyes around the faces of the two, and suddenly felt that the two seemed to be communicating with their eyes about something he and Sara didn't understand.

"Hi," John smiled at Lalage, trying to get her attention, "Nice to meet you, my name is John."

But Laraji ignored John at all, still looking up at Sherlock.

John was a little embarrassed, he had never encountered such a situation.He subconsciously glanced at Sherlock, only to find that even his partner ignored him.
